At this moment, everyone got out of the cars and was stunned by the sight of the vast manor in front of them! For more than ten minutes, they could not recover their senses as if they had arrived in a fairyland. They saw a whole row of classic castle buildings with five or six floors, all grand and majestic. It was just like the Palace of Versailles, with drawings of the gods ascending to the sky. It seemed to carry traces of myths and history of various countries. A huge golden-bronze gate stood in the center of this classic castle building carved with world maps and various mythological characters. Everything looked like a treasure of humankind. Martha was already shocked by the scene before her eyes and could not stand still anymore. When she got out of the car, she realized how luxurious and big this place was. It was really very big, too big for her to imagine or understand. In the world, there was actually such a large manor and such a luxurious interior! At thi
Martha was dumbfounded at Philip’s words Lucky? Why did it sound like a dog’s name? Philip was not going to let her sleep in the doghouse, right? For a moment, Martha panicked. She quickly grabbed Philip’s arm and said with a smile, “Son-in-law, don't be ridiculous. I’m your mother-in-law, after all. And I’m Wynn’s mother. How can you bear to let me stay in a doghouse? It doesn’t sound good if word of this spreads out.” Martha laughed and the wrinkles on her face squeezed together, looking very ugly. Hehe. Philip turned his head, pulled his arm away from Martha’s grip, and said coldly, “Do you think I'm joking with you? Do you think I brought you back to enjoy life?” Thump! Martha panicked and stammered, “Isn’t that so?” Philip shook his head, a cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. He said to the servant, “Take her away.” Hearing that, the servant motioned to two bodyguards in black suits who dragged Martha away. This caused Martha to panic. She stru
Martha looked over. The four dogs had their tongues out, looking ferocious. They all stared fixedly at her! Woof, woof! With a series of barks, the four pit bulls wanted to rush over to bite Martha. She was so scared that she struggled and cried as she tried to run. Fat Aunt pulled the leashes in her hand and ordered, “Lucky, sit down!” The four pit bulls sat down in unison. Martha was about to kneel in fright. Her face was full of tears as she wailed, “I don't want to live here. I’m scared of dogs. Save me.” However, her screaming was to no avail. Fat Aunt looked at Martha and said with a smile, “I get it. I’ll make arrangements for this person.” The maid nodded with a smile before she turned and left. Soon, only Fat Aunt and Martha remained, as well as four pit bulls that kept sticking their tongues out and staring at Martha. Martha stood remained in the same spot, trembling all over. She did not dare to move. She was extremely flustered. These four dogs looked
Philip sat in the yacht and approached the small island’s port. At this moment, more than a dozen fully-armed Clarke family’s guards were standing guard there. Philip got off the yacht and just stepped ashore when he was greeted with a bear hug by a stout, dark-skinned man with a smile on his face. “Welcome back.” The man, about 30 years old, grinned with a mouthful of white teeth. Philip smiled and hugged him for a while before letting go. He said, “Buck, it’s been a while.” Buck Jolly patted Philip on the shoulder with a face full of smiles. He reached out to hammer the other party’s chest and said, “Good on you. You’ve been gone for more than seven years and your body is still in good shape with no signs of falling behind. In a moment, I want to see if you’ve forgotten what I taught you.” Philip smiled as he followed the man forward and said, “Okay.” Buck Jolly was the captain of the Clarke family’s sixth guard squad. He could also be considered as Philip’s master befo
Just like that, Philip stood in front of the tombstone for two hours. Finally, he smiled, looked up at the blue sky, took a deep breath, and said, “Mom, I’m leaving now. I’ll come and see you again next time.” With that said, Philip put on his sunglasses and turned around. The moment he turned around, there seemed to be a gentle breeze across Philip’s cheek. It was like a mother's gentle embrace. There seemed to be a whisper in his ear. “Phil, I love you.” With a smile, Philip walked down the stone steps of the mausoleum slowly. At the main entrance of the mausoleum, more than a dozen guards in military attire stood silently as they watched Philip walk down. Even Buck Jolly from earlier dared not be the first to break the silence at this time. Philip smiled and said to Buck, “Buck, let’s go and have a spar.” Upon hearing this, Buck immediately smiled and said, “Okay, let’s go.” There was an empty space at a nearby training field. Buck had taken off his military un
Upon hearing that, Buck’s expression changed and he asked in surprise, “Are you going to deal with the branch family?” Philip took a deep breath, stood up, looked at the vast Arcadia Island across, and said, “That’s right.” With that said, he turned around, looked at Buck, and said, “Buck, when the time comes, I may have to trouble you guys.” Buck frowned, thought for a moment, and said, “Philip, you’re the young master of the Clarke family. By right, you’re my young master. I don’t dare to disobey your orders. Even if you send us to our deaths, we won’t have any complaints. But as your buddy, I have to remind you that the branch family isn’t as simple as you think. I hope you can think twice before you act.” Philip smiled and said, “I know that the influence of the branch family on Arcadia Island, their assets invested in the outside world, as well as their connections, are not things I can contend with. Especially since I’ve just returned. But how will I know the results if I
The table was full of delicacies. Wynn was taken aback when she saw the sumptuous spread and said, “Fourth Mother, there’s no need to prepare so much. I can't eat it all.” Hazel pouted and said, “Hey, you just got here, so how can we let you suffer? Don’t worry if you can’t finish it. Just eat whatever you like. If it's not enough, I’ll ask the chef to cook more.” Wynn smiled and knew that Fourth Mother doted on her, but faced with the sumptuous spread on the table, she really could not accept it for a while. Just when Hazel and Nadia were taking care of Wynn lovingly, eating and chatting with her, as well as asking about how Philip had been all these years, a group of people suddenly barged in uninvited through the door! The leader was the young master of the branch family, Kelsey Clarke. It was the same guy who went to Uppercreek to show off and was taught a good lesson by Philip. With his hands in his trouser pockets, he was dressed in expensive branded clothes and leath
With that said, a cold glint flashed in Kelsey’s eyes and he said, “Men, invite this sister-in-law of mine to the branch family.” Clatter! Instantly, several elite guards of the branch family rushed in and tried to grab Wynn! Nadia stepped forward and reprimanded, “I’ll see who dares to take my daughter-in-law in the main family’s territory today!” While saying that, Nadia was full of chills, which shocked the branch family’s guards so much that they dared not move forward! That was because she was the madam of the main family with a distinguished status. If they dared to offend the madam or touched her a little, they would be dead if an investigation was carried out later! Kelsey’s face darkened. He went over, kicked the waist of the guard he brought over, and yelled, “Didn’t you hear what I said? I told you to grab her!” The guards wanted to cry, but they bit the bullet and stepped forward. As a result... Smack! Nadia slapped them, her face looking fierce with a
“What’s inside the coffin?” “Who knows? I heard someone calling for help inside. Why don't we open it and take a look?” The fawns were not yet fully grown, so they were simple-minded. Hearing someone calling for help, they wanted to lend a helping hand. They had taken on human form, so they could move easily. The coffin was sealed to prevent someone from opening it from the inside, but the effect was almost non-existent once someone opened the coffin from the outside. The fawns broke the seal, and Akash jumped out. He looked around in a panic and was surprised to see that his rescuers were a bunch of fawns. “Thank you. I’m a member of the elf family. You may come to us if you need any help in the future. I’ll do my best to help you.” After saying this, Akash vanished in front of the fawns. He had very important things to attend to. The little fawns never expected that they would rescue such a beautiful elf. They were puzzled and wondered what was going on. “Was that the
Everyone returned to the topic at hand and forgot about everything else. Akash was expectant, waiting to hear what everyone had to say. “According to our investigation, the fish creatures became so arrogant because they colluded with the demons. They wouldn’t have been strong enough to deal with us if the demons hadn’t given them the power to do so.” Philip was surprised to hear about the demons’ involvement again. It was simply ridiculous that everything was related to demons. “The demons are quite ambitious. It seems that they want to conquer this land like the humans before them, so they keep making trouble. I think we should get rid of them!” The chief was very angry. He hated the demons from the bottom of his heart and wished they would disappear. Akash’s expression changed. Although he had an opinion about the other party's words, he did not dare to express his thoughts due to his current identity. “Akash, tell me what you think about this matter. I believe that the
“I’m surprised that they’d attack me first. I thought they’d be more interested in Philip.” Loony looked at Akash thoughtfully. He knew that Akash was behind this. Akash returned his gaze silently, acting as if it had nothing to do with him. He would never admit his identity. “Ugh, that thing is so ugly.” Marina covered her mouth in a panic. Although they had a high tolerance level, these toad-like monsters were simply gross. Marina's father wanted to take this opportunity to see Philip's strength, but Philip did not take action. Loony dealt with the other party, and they found out that Loony was human. “I remember hearing a legend about a lunatic. Are you the lunatic mentioned?” Marina was puzzled by Loony’s identity. Everything Loony did proved that he was human, but none of them could do any of it. “It's said that only humans and demons can practice voodoo, which is what I think you did just now. Philip can’t possibly be involved with the demons, so if I’m not mi
Philip shrugged and said calmly, “As usual, we take one step at a time. If they use force, we’ll do the same. Don’t worry about it. Even though they're strong, it’s not as if we can’t do anything about it.” Marina's heart skipped a beat at the sight of Philip's confidence, her feelings indescribable. Marina's father was heartbroken at this scene. He wished he could slap his daughter to wake her up. “Hmph, there's no point in saying empty words. Anyone can take one step at a time. When the enemy shows up at the door, that’s the only thing we can do.” Everyone noticed the sarcasm behind the words, and Marina was shocked. She did not expect that her father would be so unreasonable as to pick a fight at this time. Before anyone could say anything else, the door was kicked open, and Philip was surprised to see the person who entered the door. Philip did not set up a barrier in this place, so anyone could enter and exit freely. Everyone was on guard against the newcomer because
Loony and Akash were beating about the bush, trying to intimidate each other. However, Loony uncovered the mystery first. Akash coughed violently to conceal his shock and returned to his room after excusing himself, clearly going to inform the people behind him. “See, he exposed himself after just a few words. It's quite interesting,” Loony said with a smile, not acting like a lunatic at all. Philip had to marvel at his acting skills. Everyone always treated him as a lunatic, which saved him a lot of trouble. Akash returned to the room and tried to contact the people behind him, but he could not find anyone for some reason. He looked around anxiously, wondering what he should do next. “Damn it. At worst, I’ll have to deal with him.” Akash decided to deal with Loony. In his opinion, Loony should have been greatly weakened after being imprisoned for so many years and was no match for himself. Everything would be under his command if he could find a way to control Loony. Thi
Aslan and the others were aware of Akash’s fake identity too. No one wanted to interact with him, but they had to greet him to avoid exposing themselves. At the same time, Marina arrived with her father and other family members. To be on the safe side, they did not meet Philip collectively but left some backup plans. “Marina, as your father, I have to remind you that I won’t treat him kindly if I find out that he’s not a good person,” the chief said solemnly. He felt a little uneasy at the thought of meeting his daughter’s crush. He wondered if Philip had a good character, how many people he had in his family, and whether he was worthy of his precious daughter. However, even if Philip was worthy, he would not agree to their relationship. After all, they belonged to two different species. What if they gave birth to a fish creature? The beautiful merfolk would never allow those ugly creatures to tarnish their reputation. “Dad, you think too much. I have no ideas about him
The call between the two ended after a brief exchange. Rodney smiled in disdain. He was aware of his mission, but he had no idea that the Loony he was looking for was right next to him. He only knew that Philip was quite strong and had many treasures on hand. “Everything will be different once I get the elf water. At that time, this bunch of stupid guys…” Although the demons could not comprehend the book very well, they understood the general content written on it. They needed elf water if they wanted to get rid of the identity of demons. Although it was harmful to them, it could purify their bodies in combination with certain spells. Unfortunately, they just found the secret and finally found the elves when they realized that someone had wiped out the elves, which was infuriating. Rodney found Philip because he knew that Philip had the elf water. Loony was his second mission.… The night passed quickly, and Philip and Loony were chatting so exuberantly that they forgot
“I have to take responsibility for it. Demons were not so strong back then. They became so powerful because of my book. That book can be considered a divine artifact, and its contents have a great effect on all creatures.” Philip was interested in Loony’s explanation. He wanted to know why the book had such a powerful effect. “Everyone always calls me a lunatic. Indeed, I do go crazy from time to time, but I never lose my awareness. I know what I should do and what the consequences will be if the book falls into the wrong hands.” Loony looked at Philip earnestly, clearly asking for a favor. In his opinion, only Philip could save him. “That book is the first half, and its content is difficult to understand. Even I could only comprehend a little. I hope you can help me get it back. If you succeed, I’ll give you the second half. It’d be best if you can practice it.” To be honest, Philip was not in favor of this suggestion. Practicing such things might affect his path and bring h
“Is that person human?” the chief grasped the key point and asked the crucial question. Everyone nodded. They knew Philip’s identity and did not care that he was human. They saw him as a friend. “I entered Philip’s world by chance, and he helped me return. If it weren't for him, those things would probably have killed me by now. They're very strong, indeed.” Marina felt a lingering fear when she recalled past events. She knew how powerful those ugly creatures were. The fish creatures had become very strong for some reason as if they could overwhelm the merfolk at any time. “He opened the passage to this world, sent me back, and restored our people back to health. We would've died if not for his help. Philip is our friend, not foe,” Marina defended Philip. The chief was heartbroken to hear his daughter defend a man like this. His precious daughter had grown up or she would not have said such a thing. “Okay, in that case, I look forward to seeing this young man named Philip
