Something had happened to his father? How could it be? Philip’s face darkened as he quickly asked, “What’s going on? Where’s my father now?” 17 glanced at Wynn next to Philip and said, “Young Madam, I’ll get someone to send you home.” Wynn was not stupid either. She glanced at a Cadillac SUV parked on the side of the road with four fully armed guards in green uniforms next to the car. “Okay,” Wynn responded before saying to Philip, “Go ahead. I’ll go back and check on Nelson.” Philip was silent. He nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll look for you later.” With that said, Wynn got in the car and left. Philip looked at the taillights of the car fading away. Then, he turned to 17 with blazing eyes and asked, “What’s going on?” 17 frowned and said, “I was only ordered to come and pick you up. I don’t know the rest.” Philip nodded, and his expression became more solemn. That was because 17 rarely spoke or acted so seriously with him. Something was really wrong with his fathe
Philip felt a headache coming on and decided to ignore 17. There was something wrong with this girl's way of thinking! After almost two hours of travel, the armed helicopter carrying Philip and 17 finally stopped on the tarmac of a luxurious mountain resort somewhere in the Glenford hinterland. This was the residence of the Clarke family’s patriarch in Glenford. The mountain villa occupied the top of the entire mountain peak, which was flattened and reconstructed. However, it was still a structure that was surrounded by mountains and rivers. From a high altitude, the luxurious and vast white mountain villa looked just like a little white crane in a green forest. Armed personnel in green and black combat uniforms were patrolling the mountain resort at the moment. In the surrounding mountains and forests, many armed combatants with combat equipment lay in ambush! Within a radius of tens of miles, the sky and the ground were within a defensive strike. Any suspicious move
When Philip saw Roger’s state in the pool at this moment, he exploded with bone-chilling killing intent and coldness! The kinship that made blood thicker than water allowed Philip to deeply feel the pain experienced by Roger. It was something no ordinary people could bear! Moreover, his father looked much older than before! There was a sense of desolation! Instantly, Philip’s pupils were bloodshot as he roared, “Who did this?!” Fulton stood aside, looking at his lord in the pool. His eyes were boiling with anger as he said, “You can’t deal with this right now.” “I’m asking you who did it!” Like a slumbering dragon that just woke up, Philip grabbed Fulton’s collar with his eyes ablaze and his face full of anger! Fulton looked at Philip and repeated, “This isn’t something you can deal with right now. The lord will wake up soon. He has something to tell you.” Philip’s body was shaking from anger! After a while, he released Fulton. With a pair of scarlet eyes, he stared
Philip said helplessly, “Can’t you even hold a teapot now?” With that said, he snatched the teacup from Roger's hand, poured a cup of tea, and stuffed it into Roger's hand. Roger looked at this scene and said with a smile, “I'd rather never hold this teapot forever.” Philip rolled his eyes at him and asked sullenly, “Who caused the wounds on your body? The Nonagon, the Alliance, or the Gentleman Court? If you can’t take this lying down, tell me and I’ll take revenge for you.” Roger laughed and looked at Fulton, who was standing on one side. He said, “Look, my son still knows how to care for me.” Fulton tilted his head slightly and said nothing. Philip also looked at the two of them and said a little anxiously, “You don't want to tell me who did this?” Roger shook his head and said, “It's not time yet. You're not their opponent. This time, it's enough that you’ve returned to the island safely.” Philip got angry. He stood up abruptly, put his hands in his trouser pockets,
Wynn’s family background? His father knew about Wynn’s family background? Philip turned around, his face sullen. He stared at Roger and asked, “Do you know Wynn’s background?” Roger nodded, coughed lightly, and said, “I knew about it long ago. During the Lovelace family incident back then, I was at fault, so I want to make it up to her.” “Make amends?” Philip interrupted Roger with a sneer and said, “The Lovelace family is just another victim of those in power like you! When you convicted the Lovelace family, why did you sacrifice the only faction that was on the path of righteousness? When big shots like you do things, don't you think about the consequences? Don't you confirm the process and results of your actions?” The more Philip spoke, the louder his voice became. Finally, it almost turned into a roar of questioning. The expression on Roger’s face was complicated as he looked at the steaming cup of tea in front. After a while, he sighed and said, “There are very comp
That night, Philip led 13 members of the Shadow Guards to a famous bar in Glenford, the Buckingham Palace. Buckingham Palace Bar. Located in the most central and prosperous area of Glenford, this was the trendiest entertainment venue. Buckingham Palace was built in the shape of a white castle and decorated with opulence. It had a consumption standard that boasted to be the best in Glenford! Generally, only the rich and the dandy could come here to have fun. It was also Philip’s first time here. He looked at 17 next to him, who was wearing a red halter-neck dress and holding his arm. He asked, “Are you sure this is the place?” 17 nodded with a wink and said seductively, “Handsome, it’s here.” She looked very sexy tonight with a rose tattoo on her exposed back and her shoulder-length hair. It added to a man’s desire to conquer her. When she and Philip appeared at the entrance of Buckingham Palace, they drew many sideways glances. Philip had booked the largest private ro
The middle-aged woman was the bar’s small boss, and the sultry girls standing behind her were all gold diggers. Their usual work was to accompany the guests to drink. If the guests spent money, they could then go out to have fun. If a large private room only ordered drinks without girls, it was the same as a dog in a manger. Thus, the young girls could not hold back their mouths either. “Tsk, how dare they come here to have fun if they don’t have the money? Rubbish.” “Do you know what kind of place this is?” “This is not a country pub, hillbilly!” Philip was not the only person in the room. Brian and the other 12 Shadow Guards were there too! These people were extremely loyal. For this middle-aged woman to curse Philip in front of them, she was simply looking for death! All 12 of them stood up with a whoosh, each glaring angrily at the middle-aged woman. 17 was already touching the butterfly knife strapped to the side of her waist, staring at the middle-aged wo
Philip turned around and said to Carla, “Your name is Carla, right? Don't be so aggressive. We’re here to have fun and drink today, not to cause trouble. But if I understand correctly, we won't be allowed to drink here if we don’t ask for company, right?” Carla put her hands around her chest and said smugly, “That’s right! We’re a high-end bar here, and we don’t just accept anyone. If you don’t ask for company, you can go somewhere else to drink. It's none of our business.” Philip smiled and said, “That won’t do. I deliberately picked the best bar today and brought my buddies here to relax and unwind. The environment here is good, so we won't switch places. I'll take all the people you have here, but I do wonder what they can do.” The woman was startled and said doubtfully, “What did you say? You want all of them? Are you kidding? Do you have money?” Philip smiled faintly. “Suitcase.” A member next to him took a suitcase and handed it to Philip. Philip took the case and ope
Moray used to be a rational person, but things were different now. With Tom adding fuel to the fire and coupled with his daughter’s attitude, Moray lost his temper. He could not tolerate Philip's existence anymore. He felt as if Philip was going to snatch Marina away, which annoyed him. Due to his dignity, however, he simply advised Marina not to be so stupid. “How do you know that Philip is the person you know? With demons running rampant, their methods are unpredictable. They could even disguise themselves as elves. What else can stop them?” Tom could not bear it any longer and spoke up. He did not expect that Moray was so bad at convincing his daughter. It would be bad if Marina convinced Moray instead. “What do you mean? Are you saying that Philip has been possessed by a demon? Or is this Philip not the person we know?” Marina’s expression changed slightly. Tom had a certain say in this matter because they returned from Philip’s world together and received help from P
Moray scowled. He did not expect Philip to be right. It was dangerous ahead. He felt embarrassed by his earlier outburst. “Hehe, even if it’s dangerous, that’s no reason to stop. We should…” Marina was angry at her father’s shameful behavior. She wanted Philip to meet her father and have a good chat, but so many things happened instead. “That’s enough. Stop talking. It’s your mistake this time. They told you about the danger ahead, but you insisted on going there anyway. You’re causing trouble on purpose!” Marina was very angry and went to Philip’s side as if she was going to take his side. Tom looked at this scene with jealousy and resentment. Marina trusted Philip more because of this incident. He had made things worse. Philip ignored their internal conflict. He simply found them annoying. He would not object if they wanted to stop the cooperation. “Philip, I heard that the fish creatures have a treasure that allows them to survive in this harsh environment. Maybe we ca
Loony looked at the merfolk with disdain. Before this, he always thought that the merfolk were smart and beautiful creatures, but reality proved that they were stupid. “Sure enough, only birds of a feather can flock together. Only humans can work together,” Loony said in dissatisfaction. He had always been known as a lunatic, so he did not have to watch his words. Aslan stepped forward on behalf of the monster beasts. “You can't say that. You can criticize the merfolk, but don’t get us involved. We’re loyal to Philip.” Moray was angry at their rebuke and wanted to teach Philip a lesson. “You need to decide quickly. We’re about to arrive. Do you want to give up now? That doesn’t make sense. If you’re a man, you need to take action. Don't let me look down on you.” Moray’s tone was condescending, putting on an air of superiority. “Indeed, I don’t dare to take the risk. Why don’t you take the lead?” Philip said with a smile. He did not take the bait because he did not care ab
Aslan wiped the mud off his body in annoyance. The mud was very sticky, and no one could avoid it. Aslan was disgusted and cursed the fish creatures to hell and back. “Philip, I feel something is wrong ahead. Is it an ambush?” Black Rabbit looked at Philip nervously. He felt something was not right. Philip was surprised by Black Rabbit’s keen senses and wondered what was going on. “Just speak your mind. There’s no need to hold back. We’re on the same side,” Philip said. Black Rabbit nodded and pointed up ahead. “I feel that there’s something wrong with that place. I think someone has set up a barrier to trap us.” Although Black Rabbit had no special ability, he had very keen senses. If he sensed something wrong, they should check it out. Rabbit joined the discussion. Although he hated Black Rabbit, he had to admit that he was capable. “Black Rabbit has a great perception of danger that's much stronger than that of ordinary practitioners.” Everyone stopped and pondered
Tom felt conflicted. If Philip was interested in the pearl, maybe he could help Philip in exchange for the method that helped Katie become stronger. Tom yearned for strength. He had the opportunity to become Marina's personal guard because of his strength. However, he was not the strongest. All the strongest beings had been sent to the battlefield to fight for the family. He wanted to become so strong that he could easily overcome all problems. Everyone in the family would beg for his help if he became the strongest person. They would seek his help to get rid of the fish creatures instead of relying on an outsider to solve the crisis for them. As Marina's personal bodyguard, Tom had had a crush on Marina for a long time now. How could any man resist such a beautiful woman? Marina had always been a pure-hearted woman who never admired any man, but she fell in love with Philip at first sight. Tom was upset about it but could do nothing at the thought of his identity. Therefor
Katie was not a talkative person, so everyone who knew her did not expect her to exude much presence. Tom smiled and approached Katie to talk to her. “Hey, it’s been a while. Did you miss me?” Tom said excitedly. He felt emotional at the thought of Katie saving him. The chief looked at Tom unhappily, surprised that he was involved with a human woman. It was such a mess that he wondered what was going on. Katie lowered her head and responded shyly. Tom noticed that Katie had become very powerful. She was no longer an ordinary human. From Katie's walking posture and various indications, Katie was a powerful practitioner. She was even better than him. Moreover, she had a divine body. Tom looked expectant. Although Tom had a divine body too, he could not improve so quickly with his talent and strength. Philip must have groomed Katie with care for her to improve so quickly. Katie’s talent was obvious at a glance. She was not that good, but she was already on par with h
Rodney was about to have a mental breakdown. Elf water was so valuable that everyone would use it sparingly for fear of accidentally wasting it, but these people used it as bath water. “It’s none of your business, but we do have some leftover bath water over there. Although its effect has diminished, we can use it to water the flowers to make them grow well.” Elf water would lose most of its effects after bathing in it, but the powerful energy still existed, so using it to water flowers was a good choice. Normal people would never think of using it to water flowers. Rodney was almost going crazy. Although Akash felt that it was a waste too, Philip had bought the elf water at a high price, so he had the freedom to do whatever he wanted with it. “This is ridiculous. We’re talking about precious elf water. How could you waste it like this?” Rodney was shaking in anger. He wished he could kill Philip and show this wasteful person how powerful he was. “Tell your elves not to c
“Do you think no one heard when you threatened me just now? Humans are not as stupid as demons.” Loony flicked Rodney’s forehead, causing Rodney to grimace in pain. “Why did you sneak in to be around me? I don’t think I have anything that attracts demons,” Philip said curiously. Indeed, he wondered what brought the demons here. Hearing that, Rodney struggled hard, but Philip easily controlled him. Philip only tied his hands, but Rodney had already lost all ability to fight. His energy core had been sealed. No matter how hard he tried to break free and attack Philip, he failed to do it. “Don't try to break the barrier I put on you or you’ll self-combust and die.” Philip was amused by Rodney’s futile attempts to break free. “You!” Rodney knew that he was in trouble this time. He never thought that Philip would be so strong. He had been very confident that he could sneak his people into Philip’s team if Akash did not return in time and Philip would end up under his control.
Philip and the others knew what was going on, but they pretended to be surprised. The merfolk were really confused and wondered what was going on. Everyone looked at Akash standing at the door and then at 'Akash' standing not far away, baffled. “What’s going on? Are my eyes playing tricks on me?” “I see two Akash in front of me. What does it mean? Is one Akash fake?” They caught a strong scent of demons on the real Akash. It was planned in advance. Rodney deliberately left a strong scent of demons on the real Akash so that no one could tell what was going on. Everyone was doubtful and subconsciously thought that the Akash at the door was fake. Marina ran to Philip's side in confusion. “Philip, what’s going on? Is there a real and fake Akash? This is weird.” Marina did not know Akash, but she knew Philip brought Akash along, so Philip should know what was going on. “You two should know who is real and who is fake,” Philip said with a smile without answering Marina's
