Suddenly!A roar came from the door!“Stop it!”Philip had arrived at the scene and could see what was happening. His eyes were bulging and it was as if they were going to pop out of their sockets!‘Damn you, Chloe. You’re asking to die!’‘You’re asking to die!’Chloe turned around and saw Philip’s bloodshot eyes. However, she did not stop. Instead, she swung her hand and slapped Wynn across the face. Additionally, Chloe had a smirk on her face.In an instant, Philip was engulfed in rage.Outside the door, the two bodyguards could be seen holding out their hands to block Philip.Nevertheless, Philip kicked both of them and sent them flying.Philip no longer had anything to hide.He did not hold back and instead used the skills he had learned from Reed in the past.“Chloe Sommerset! You’re digging your own grave!”Philip roared as he stood by the door, his hands balled up in fists. Philip had lost all rationality from rage, and his pupils were constricted.Not to mention,
Philip knew what he had done at Beacon Pharmaceutical was overbearing and somewhat cruel.It was only understandable that Wynn had become suspicious of him.Should he tell her his true identity?No.Giada was already in Riverdale, and Philip did not know what that woman was planning.She would not come to Riverdale without a reason. Hence, she had to be planning something.He was restricting himself a lot by agreeing to that woman’s conditions.If Philip did not need to protect the people he loved by adhering to her conditions, he would have turned the world upside down already.“Wynnie, do you really want to know?” Philip asked with a raised brow.Wynn hesitated before nodding shortly after. “I want to know about your past. I have a feeling that you’re not the Philip that I know. Did you used to be the way you were just now?”Philip shook his head and lied as he said, “No no no, not at all.”If Wynn found out about those ridiculous and despotic things he had done in the pas
When Martha got home, she was still in a fit of rage. Hence, she called Philip to come over.She had to vent her anger.Philip finally understood why she was so mad. It must have been because the Yates were aware of the thumb ring’s value.What should he do now?Were they suspicious of his identity?“Mom, what’s going on? What do you mean 100 million?” Philip asked, pretending to be innocent. Martha became even angrier when she saw Philip’s face. She yelled, “You worthless bum! You don’t know anything! Get out! Get out now! I get so angry when I look at you!”“Okay.”His mother-in-law was still mad, so he did not want to stay there anymore either. Hence, Philip turned around to leave.However, before Philip could leave, Martha shrieked bossily out of the blue, “Wait, come back!”“Is there something else, mom?” Philip asked.Martha pondered and asked, “You… Did you really get that thumb ring from an antique market?”Martha still felt suspicious.“Yeah. I bought it at the s
Thirty million bucks?Philip felt helpless.He knew something would happen, but he was not expecting Martha to get herself into such big trouble.“Alright, mom. I’ll be there immediately. Please wait for me.” After Philip said that, he hung up the phone and dashed to the scene.When Philip arrived at the scene, he noticed that they were at a hundred-year-old shop. There was a crowd at the entrance. Some of the people there were waiting in line, trying to sell their old items while some of them were only there for the drama. Nonetheless, their heads could be seen bobbing up and down.There was an argument taking place in the shop, and Philip could hear Martha’s shrieks from outside the place.When Philip entered the shop, he saw Martha accusing the shop owner of bullying his customers. She was talking so fast her saliva was flying all over the place. Additionally, she was accusing the owner of selling fake antiques and scamming people of their money. “I’m not paying! Why should I?
Slap!The shop owner could no longer take it. He looked at his subordinates and then slapped Martha across the face.Immediately, Martha, who had been making threatening gestures and endless pesters, fell silent. Her eyes were filled with rage as she stared at Philip.She did not dare attack the shop owner, so she ran over to Philip and started scratching him shrewishly. She yelled, “How did I get such a useless son-in-law like you? I was slapped and you’re still standing here! You’re just a spineless coward! I’m going to ask Wynn to divorce you!”Philip felt rather helpless, but he did not want to argue about it with her. Hence, he turned around and said to the shop owner, “I’m sorry. We’ll pay for it. Why don’t we talk inside?”The shop owner looked at Russell and nodded. “Alright, you’re quite reasonable, kid.”After that, the few of them went back into the shop.On the other hand, Martha continued to make a scene outside as she hurled extremely nasty comments, “Philip, if yo
Slap!The slap stunned Martha who was arrogant and unreasonable.Martha became as terrified as a dog. She hid behind Philip and held her face with her hand. She said through gritted teeth, “Who… Who are you? Why did you slap me? My son-in-law is here!”What could she do? She could only rely on Philip at such a time.“I heard that Philip’s mother-in-law is famous for being unreasonable and bossy. Now that I’ve met you, I can confirm that your reputation is fully justified.” Chloe snorted.In Martha’s eyes, Chloe was just an ordinary old woman. Thus, she did not need to take any action herself and someone else would handle her.However, when Martha heard Chloe’s words, she became furious. She was indeed unreasonable, but she was proud of that. She was able to enjoy quite a number of benefits because of her attitude.Nonetheless, she did not feel as proud with Chloe saying it straight to her face.“Even if that were the case, you can’t slap someone willy-nilly.”Martha had lost h
When Wynn arrived at the entrance, she did not go in immediately. Instead, she looked at Philip anxiously and said, “Philip, something must be wrong judging by the way mom asked us to come home. If she yells at you or hits you, you… you can fight back.”Wynn was feeling helpless toward her mother’s unreasonableness. Before this, she would close one eye to the abuse Martha inflicted on Philip because she was still contemplating whether she wanted to divorce him or not.However, it was different now. Wynn had started to feel a long lost love between her and Philip.Philip was taken aback. He shook his head and said, “it’s fine. Your mom is my mom. I won’t lose anything from the insults or punches.”Wynn looked at Philip. Her eyes were twinkling under the moonlight.Out of the blue.She tiptoed and kissed Philip on the lips. Then, she backed away quickly.“Stop overthinking. That’s your reward that I’m giving you in advance,” Wynn said while blushing. Shortly after, she made her wa
After he hung up, Philip felt anxious, so he called Wynn.“Wynnie, what are you doing?” Philip asked.Wynn replied, “I’m in the office. There are a lot of annoying things going on. Turner's Hospital did not sign the contract with us.”Wynn was in her office facing a huge stack of documents. She was extremely irritated.The contract was not signed because Chloe had barged in and made a scene during the meeting.In the end, Derrick contacted another party. Nevertheless, Derrick told the employees not to worry as the company would reconsider their contract again.Hence, the heavy burden fell onto Wynn’s shoulder in an instant.She was the VP after all, and Derrick had assigned the task to her. Thus, she had to be successful in securing a collaboration with Turner’s hospital branch in Riverdale.What Wynn did not know was that Chloe was the one messing things up secretly.At the moment, Beacon Pharmaceutical’s boss was Chloe. The reason the collaboration was unsuccessful was that
Carlos thought Philip would do something to him, but Philip simply handed him something he took out of his pocket. “Try practicing this technique.” After Philip handed him the item, he stared at Carlos, waiting for the result. Carlos was relieved to hear it. He had thought Philip was going to do something to him, but it turned out that Philip simply wanted Carlos to try a technique out. Carlos smiled and shook his head. “We can’t practice other techniques different from our own unless someone can make improvements to our existing technique. Only then do we have the chance to learn something new. But do you know how difficult it is to improve a technique?” Carlos smiled helplessly. Their people had been trying to improve their technique forever. After all, the side effects of the technique were simply annoying, but it was easier said than done. Their predecessors had been studying it for years but to no avail. They had no choice but to give up. Now, only one elder was resp
“Since she’s one of your people, she can stay, but don’t try to do anything,” Philip said. Philip glanced at the holy maiden. Before he could say anything else, something appeared in his mind. It was the technique she practiced. Philip had no idea what happened. He had merely glanced at her when her technique appeared in his mind. Although it was weird, Philip did not think it was a bad thing. Instead, he was happy. He knew that it was a special ability. Thinking of this, Philip was in a good mood. He went back to his room after excusing himself. He wanted to study the technique carefully. It would be best if he could discover something. The holy maiden watched indignantly as Philip left. Jamie knew that Celeste’s biggest advantage was her looks. She was so beautiful that the holy maiden felt the pressure. “Stay here with peace of mind and treat it as your own home. No need for formalities,” Celeste said to them with a smile as if she were the mistress of the house. Jam
Philip waved his hand. That was not what he meant. At this time, Celeste walked out of her room. She had fallen in love with cooking and always immersed herself in the kitchen, figuring out different recipes. In the past, Celeste lived alone in the gloomy forest without freedom or friends. After meeting Philip, she became more vibrant. Celeste would feel a sense of achievement whenever Philip ate the food she cooked. Seeing her, Philip greeted Celeste and introduced the visitors to her. “I don’t need a maid. I already have someone to take care of the household chores. Thank you for your kindness,” Philip said with a smile. Celeste had been doing a good job, so Philip did not think he needed another woman to take care of him. The more women around, the more trouble there would be. The holy maiden froze in surprise at the sight of such a beautiful woman around Philip. Although she was not ugly, she had to live with this ugly appearance until her marriage because of that nas
“That’s enough. Stop talking about me. You might as well think about how to deal with Hogster and the others. The Hexa Guild will definitely come after you.” Philip greeted Jamie calmly without taking the incident seriously at all. Seeing his reaction, Jamie thought that Philip was more and more unfathomable. The Hexa Guild was making a big fuss over this case. Many guilds had accepted the Hexa Guild’s gifts and now stood in opposition to the Celestial Palace. Although this matter had nothing to do with those guilds at all, they accepted the Hexa Guild's gifts in exchange for hyping the news up. It would be best if the two guilds fought. Maybe they could take advantage of the situation in the process! The other major guilds were waiting to watch the excitement too. They hoped that the Celestial Palace would be affected by this incident and it would maybe result in them losing the guild competition. Philip was also quite interested in the guild competition but was more curious
“Vanna mentioned that you enjoy drinking, so I prepared some fine wine for you.” Ronan said it so smoothly that he must have practiced it. Jamie was surprised to see Ronan taking a bottle of wine from his pocket, not at the wine itself. It proved that Ronan had a storage space. Thinking of this, Jamie felt better. Since Ronan had a storage space, he had to have a strong backing. Carlos had determined from various aspects that Ronan was a man with good character. In that case, Jamie had nothing more to worry about, and he could feel at ease again. “We’re about to hold a competition between the guilds. You can join us if you’re interested. Since you’re already part of us, you should do your best. If you can win the competition, I’ll consider officially acknowledging your identity.” Jamie seemed like a gentle and easygoing person. Ronan was excited by his words. He never dreamed that he would have the opportunity to be acknowledged. Ronan thought that he was unworthy of Vann
Jamie was startled. He never thought that someone would speak to him in this manner. With his high and mighty status, everyone spoke to him politely except Carlos. He was not used to someone treating him so frivolously. “I'm here to look for someone,” Jamie said with a smile. The rabbit meant no harm, so Jamie did not have to act like a domineering guild leader. Rabbit stepped aside. “Of course, I know you’re here to look for someone. There’s no other reason to be here otherwise. It's just a matter of whether you can see them.” Rabbit hopped away. He just wanted to see if it was a good or bad guy. After all, troublemakers would be taught a good lesson. Carlos walked out calmly with a teacup. He had fallen for the taste of tea. Philip’s tea was simply perfect. He would feel a fluctuation in his strength after drinking it. He was ecstatic at the discovery and was unwilling to return to the guild now. Taking a sip, he realized that someone familiar was standing at the door and
“I’m surprised that the Celestial Palace would be so shameless. Since they refuse to do things my way, they shouldn't blame me for doing this.” Alain decided to make good use of this incident to guilt-trip the Celestial Palace. He told his people to spread the news of the Celestial Palace to the public. All of a sudden, everyone knew that the young lady of the Celestial Palace had married another man without consent. The incident caused an uproar, and everyone was talking about it. It was one of the most explosive pieces of news in the world of practitioners. The Celestial Palace was a large guild that valued the personal conduct of their guild members. A member would be punished for doing such a thing, but their young lady had rebelliously chosen to be with a man of unknown origins. The news was all hyped up, and everyone waited to watch the excitement. Of course, the people of the Celestial Palace heard the news too. The guild leader scowled upon receiving it. He did not th
Sure enough, Alain was very angry. He stared at Dennis in disbelief, surprised at his defeat. “How did you end up losing? Is he really as strong as the rumors said? I refuse to believe that a little brat can bring you any harm!" Alain subconsciously felt that Dennis had not done his best. Alain was sure that Dennis was being overdramatic. Dennis had always been a powerful god of war. This unexpected outcome was simply impossible. Thus, he felt that Dennis had not done his best to fulfill his duty. “Although I only exchanged one move with that young man, I could easily tell his level. I could feel that he’s more talented than Hogster. I believe it’ll be a great help for us if we can take him under our wing.” Dennis was doing it for the benefit of the guild. It would be an advantage to the guild if they could get Ronan. However, his words infuriated Alain instead. He was angry at Dennis’ stupid suggestion. “Ronan is clearly not the same as us. No matter how strong he is, he
Although Dennis could not be bothered with Hogster, he had to fight for the chance to recruit Ronan. However, Ronan shook his head. “I already have Philip, so you can forget about it. So, do you still want to fight? I don't mind showing you my strength.” Ronan had simply executed a casual move just now, so it could not be considered a full-blown display of his powers. If Dennis still wanted to fight, he would oblige. Dennis shook his head. He could clearly tell that he was no match for Ronan. Although he wanted to teach Ronan a lesson, he would only end up tragically if he went ahead with it. He did not doubt that Ronan could easily crush him. “Please excuse our intrusion today.” Dennis bowed to Ronan and left without another word. He did not want to stay in this unpleasant place any longer. He was the third elder, a person of high status. Not to mention suffering an easy defeat, but he also had to apologize to the person who defeated him, which was simply woeful. The perso
