Philip glanced at the yellowed ancient book on the coffee table, looked at Roger in confusion, and asked, “What is this?” Roger smiled and motioned for Philip to look at it. Philip walked over, sat on one side, and picked up the ancient book on the coffee table. The book cover had the words ‘The Harrison Family’s Records’ written on it. “Is this from the Harrison family?” Philip asked. Roger leaned on a cane in his hand, coughed a few times, and said with a nod, “The Harrison family is not as simple as you think. Their ancestors go a long way back. In those days, the Harrison family was the servant to a man named Fenrir Scott who was involved in the search for the elixir of life.” The elixir of life? Fenrir Scott? Philip thought of something in an instant and quickly opened the book. The first few pages recorded Fenrir’s search for the elixir of life. After flipping through a few pages, Philip saw the mention of the Multidew Herb! Multidew Herb! There was actually a r
District 4 of Arcadia Island, Newsea Hospital. Janet Ball, who was wearing a red trench coat, brought her four-year-old son, Tom, to the hospital at night. In the hospital corridor, Tom saw Mila playing alone and immediately broke away from Janet’s hold. “Tom, where are you going?” “I’m going to play with that little girl.” Janet glanced at Mila and pursed her lips in disdain. “Why play with her? Be careful of infectious diseases or something.” Mila heard Janet’s words and pouted angrily. “Do you have an infectious disease?” Tom stood in front of Mila and asked arrogantly with his head held high. “No, I don’t.” Mila turned around and ignored Tom. Tom stared at Mila’s back. He stretched out his hand and punched Mila’s back abruptly, causing her to lean against the wall of the corridor. The pain brought tears to Mila’s eyes. “Why did you hit me?” “You have an infectious disease. You’re evil. I’m fighting evil. I’ll kill you so that you won’t infect others.” To
“Let go of me. It’s not true that I wasn’t raised properly. He fell on his own. He even beat me before this. I didn’t touch him at all. You’re a bad person. All of you are bad people.” Mila cried with tears in her eyes, looking very pitiful. “This unruly child is even a liar. How dare you say that I’m a bad person? You’re really uneducated. I must rip your mouth out today so you know what proper upbringing is!” Janet reached out angrily was about to slap Mila’s face, but as soon as she raised her hand, her wrist was grabbed. “Who the hell dares to stop me?” Janet turned her head, looked at the man who grabbed her wrist, and roared. “Hurry up and let go! How dare a poor loser like you dare to interfere in my business?! If you don't let go, I'll destroy your family!” Philip did not say anything, his eyes cold and gloomy. Smack! He raised his hand and slapped Janet on her face, causing her to fall to the floor. Wynn rushed over from behind and hugged Mila. “Mila, I’m h
Janet put away the phone, pointed at Philip, and shouted, “My brother will be here soon. Just wait to kneel to me! Your whole family must kneel and apologize to me!” Wynn had already pacified Mila and also found out the reason for this incident. Hearing Janet hurling abuse at this moment, she felt angry. “You’ve been turning the facts around. It was your son who bullied my daughter. It's fine that you’re not letting your son admit his mistake, but you even wanted to hit my daughter. Do you even know what righteousness and integrity mean?” Wynn scolded. In her heart, Mila was most precious. Whose child was not a treasure in their mother’s heart? Janet glanced at Wynn with disdain and spat at her. “People who come to work in the city like you don't deserve to talk about righteousness and integrity! “I want your whole family to kneel and make amends to me and my son or this matter will never end. My brother is the head of the department in charge of this ward!” Wynn’s heart
Janet nodded and took two steps back with her son. Garett said coldly, “Do you still want to see a doctor here? If you still want to be examined and treated, your family will kneel and apologize to my sister. “As for financial losses, seeing that you’re not rich, I’ll leave it at that. But don’t you think you should express your sincerity by being servants at my sister’s house for three to five months?” Garett proposed an even more despicable condition. Based on Janet’s temper, she would probably go mad if they were to serve at her house for months. “Is there something wrong with your brain? Do you even think before you speak?” Philip said coldly. “Damn it! How dare you contradict me?! I think you don't want your daughter to be treated. I only need to say the word and no hospital or doctor in District 4 will accept your daughter. With your daughter’s disease, she can only wait to die!” Garett held his head high and spoke arrogantly. At this moment, Garett was filled with
“Yes, Young Master! Right away!” George Thomas happened to be returning from Clarke Manor at this time. He immediately contacted the dean of Newsea Hospital in District 4 of Arcadia Island. Taylor Goode, the dean of Newsea Hospital, was dumbfounded when he received George’s call! Soon, he dialed Philip’s number. “Hello, Young Master Clarke. I’m Taylor Goode. How may I help you?” Taylor bowed and said respectfully. “A director surnamed Ball in your hospital has some conflicts with me. You need to come over here.” Philip raised his eyebrows and glanced at Garett, whose nose was bleeding. “This Garett Ball! Young Master Clarke, wait a moment. I'll deal with him now!” Taylor roared immediately. “Okay, I’m hanging up now.” As Philip ended the call, Garett leaned against the wall and clutched his stomach. He was laughing until his sides hurt. “I’m about to die of laughter. A piece of sh*t like you is capable of calling Dean Goode? Your acting skills are really good.” “Y
Janet stood next to Garett and whispered, “Garett, why is this happening?” “How would I know? Maybe it's a coincidence. Let's watch and see what happens.” Garett turned around, walked to Taylor, and said pitifully, “Dean Goode, you came just in time. Look at my face. I was beaten by this thug. You have to stand up for me.” Taylor looked at Garett’s face and said bitterly, “You deserve it!” “What?” Garett stared blankly at Taylor, unable to figure out why Taylor would say something like that. “Dean Goode, what do you mean by that? I’ve done more than enough for you over the years. Now that I’ve been beaten up by this poor loser, you said that I deserve it?” “Don’t you? Just think about what you’ve done. Have you investigated the truth of the matter? If you hadn’t made them pissed, would they have beaten you up? You should reflect on what you’ve done!” Taylor rebuked aloud. Garett shrank back. If they traced this case to the root of the problem, it would lead back to Jane
“Garett Ball, is this how you apologize? According to the hospital's regulations, what you have done warrants a dismissal. If your apology doesn't satisfy Mr. Clarke, you may pack your things and get out.” Taylor dared not defend Garett. If Philip misunderstood, Taylor might lose his position as dean any minute. Garett was shocked. He did not expect Taylor to speak up for Philip like this. Thinking about his position, the generous drug commissions, and everything that those gorgeous medical representatives were willing to offer, Garett gritted his teeth. “I'm deeply aware of my mistakes. I shouldn’t have defended my relatives indiscriminately. I made a big mistake in the spur of the moment and damaged the reputation of Newsea Hospital in District 4. I’ll definitely change my ways. I hope you can forgive me and give me a chance to turn over a new leaf.” After Garett finished speaking, he looked at Janet with a pleading look in his eyes. If Janet continued to kick up a big fu
“I’m surrendering to the humans, not the merfolk. Who do you think you are?” The chief of the fish creatures knew that he stood a chance to survive if he surrendered to the humans, but they would be dead if they gave in to the merfolk. The merfolk hated their existence and could not wait to kill them. On the other hand, the humans did not have a big grudge against them. At most, he would allow Katie to stab them a few times. Moray scowled at his words and trembled with anger. “Fine, remember your words. You’ll pay the price for what you said today.” He turned away from the chief of the fish creatures' arrogant face and glanced at Philip instead. In his opinion, Philip should at least fulfill his promise. However, Philip paid no heed to him at all. “You should know what I want. I won’t take action if you hand it over of your own accord. Although you’re ugly, at least you never messed with me,” Philip said with a smile. The fish creatures could not refute the fact that they
Tom watched this scene smugly. His plan worked. Although he failed to get Katie’s agreement, he managed to sow discord between Marina and Philip. He could proceed with the next step. Marina was very upset now, so he had to seize the opportunity to intervene. Katie was the center of this fight. It was time for a battle to the death. Philip watched from the sidelines. He would only step forward to provide help when Katie needed it. Otherwise, he would simply keep an eye on her. He wanted to take the opportunity to train her as an ace up his sleeve. The fish creatures were fully prepared to fight Philip and the others, but they had no idea that they were so strong. They thought that the humans had ordinary bodies and could not resist their poison. The fish creatures' venom should be lethal for humans, making them unable to resist. However, these humans seemed indestructible. They had no way to deal with them no matter how hard they tried. “What’s up with these people's bodies?
Tom was counting on Philip to help them deal with the fish creatures. He thought that he could sit back and reap the benefits, but things were not as simple as imagined. Philip would not fall for it so easily. Philip glanced at Tom, disappointed by the eagerness in his eyes. He did not expect that the simple and honest young man would show such a side. At this time, Tom glanced at Katie. He wanted to take the opportunity to win Katie over to his side. “Katie, just look at the ugly side of these people. I begged Philip to bring you to this world back then, so I’m obligated to protect you. Philip is up to no good. I want to take responsibility for what I did back then,” Tom said righteously. Tom felt smug about it, but it was quickly replaced by tension and worry. Katie looked at Tom in confusion, thinking that maybe he was a little unhinged. “You didn’t beg Philip to take me in back then. I was the one who begged him to take me away. “If you hadn't fled to our fishing villag
Moray glanced at Philip with disdain and anger, blaming Philip for everything. He would not have suffered this humiliation if not for Philip. “No matter what, I’ll take care of you right now. Putting aside whether I’m working with humans or not, you’ll die as long as you can’t defeat me.” Moray put up a tough front, feeling annoyed about this. He was embarrassed because of Philip. He vowed to cut off all ties with Philip later and never let anyone know that they worked with humans. Aslan was annoyed by Moray’s unpleasant words. “What do you mean, old man? You behaved differently when you wanted to use us and changed your attitude after using us. Are you burning bridges now?” Aslan with his hot temper knew that the best way to deal with Moray was to condemn him. Moray scowled, surprised that someone dared to complain about him. “What do you mean? Do you think I'm a pushover? You used us to help you deal with the fish creatures, and you want to cut ties with us right after th
Philip had a good impression of Katie. She was passionate about learning and studied very hard. Even Philip felt inferior to her. Since Katie was doing it to seek revenge for her parents, Philip always taught Katie seriously and never kept anything from her. They spoke in a corner privately, and Tom watched with jealousy. Sure enough, Katie had fallen for Philip instead. The way Katie looked at Philip was the same way she looked at Tom back then. It was the worship and admiration for the strong. Tom was depressed at the thought that he had lost Katie in just a few days. Marina keenly noticed Tom's abnormal mood swings. She was curious and wondered what was wrong with him. “Tom, are you okay? Why do you look so bad? Are you feeling unwell? Or were you scared by the sneak attack just now?” Marina was concerned about her personal guard’s unpleasant look. Unexpectedly, Marina’s concern undermined Tom’s confidence instead. “How could I be scared by those things? Do you really th
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
