Philip looked at everyone coldly and imposingly. Following his scrutiny, no one dared to raise any objection. Leon clapped his hands at this moment, stood up with a smile, and said to the subordinates behind him, “Men, bring Patriarch West to treat his injuries.” Then, he walked to Philip's side, patted him on the shoulder, and addressed the crowd, “Everyone, this is the new member of Cherry Villa. Please welcome him!” After saying that, Leon clapped heartily while sparse applause was heard from the crowd. However, Philip said, “Villa Master Jefferson, I didn’t agree to join Cherry Villa. I’m here to look for someone.” Leon smiled and said, “Philip, don’t worry. The Miss Johnston you’re looking for should have already gone back.” “Gone back? With whom?” Philip was anxious and frowned. Sure enough, Wynn had gone back. Leon motioned for everyone to continue the conference before he walked out of the main hall with Philip and said, “Philip, the person who brought Miss
Philip glanced sideways at Leon before he asked, “Do tell. If I can help, I’ll try my best.” Leon smiled, rubbed his hands secretly, and said, “I’d like to invite you to participate in the Disciple Competition between Cherry Villa and Terrain Villa one month later.” “Disciple Competition?” Philip frowned, a little puzzled. Leon quickly explained, “As you probably know by now, Cherry Villa in the south has always been at odds with Terrain Villa in the north. We compete both openly and covertly. When Mr. Lovelace single-handedly pacified the disciple community from the north and the south decades ago, the Disciple Competition became a tradition. After all, there have always been disputes between the north and the south, but to prevent the situation from escalating, all issues will be resolved at the Disciple Competition. The winner will decide how the issue will be handled. “This is also the reason why the southern supernatural disciple community has always been inferior to the n
Leon Jefferson was actually on his knees. He said, “Philip, I sincerely implore you to represent the southern supernatural disciple community in this Disciple Competition. I’m not doing this for personal gain but the greater good and stability of the disciples in the north and the south. We were originally one, but because of some ambitious people, we found ourselves in this current situation. Back then, Mr. Lovelace noticed the conspiracy of those people and decided to use iron-handed methods to stabilize the turmoil of the disciples in the north and the south. I don’t want to see his great achievements be drowned in the long river of history, and I don’t want to see the disciples in this country kill each other. “There’s not much time left for us in this world. I hope that in my lifetime, I can see the disciples in the north and south unified and harmonious. I hope we can jointly resist the disciples from outside the country. “Philip, I hope that you can grant this request of m
Philip looked at Wynn solemnly and asked, “Are you sure you want to go by yourself?” Wynn was silent for a long time and finally nodded, saying with great certainty, “Yes, I’m sure. I want to go to the Lovelace family to have a look. Only then can I know what I want, what I want to do, and…” Wynn looked at Philip with love in her eyes and said, “I also want to be the woman behind you. I want to have the strength and ability to protect you, Mila, and Nelson. “Philip, I don't want to be a burden to you, let alone a worthless decoration as others say. You’ve always been silently helping me. I didn't know your identity at that time, let alone mine. “Now, I don't want much. I just want to know the truth and where my future path lies.” After listening to Wynn, Philip fell silent. The atmosphere in the car was somber. It was so depressing that it was difficult to breathe. Finally, Philip’s eyes tensed as he said, “Okay, I agree. Do whatever you want to do, and find out whatever yo
Philip asked in puzzlement. Wynn said, “Shane told me that my biological father left this behind in Cherry Villa back then and only I can open it. But I don’t know how to open it, so I have to go back to the Lovelace family. Shane told me that there are many secrets and legacies in my faction. Only I can take charge of the overall situation now. I’m not very clear about the specifics.” Philip frowned and took the small black box in Wynn’s hand. He tried to use his rule of insight to explore it but the little black box rejected Philip’s probing. “Since your biological father left this to you, you should keep it well. When you go back to the Lovelace family, you must pay attention to your safety. If anything happens, you must tell me immediately.” Those were Philip’s final instructions. Wynn nodded and smiled. The next day, Philip and Wynn returned to Riverdale. Philip would be leaving for Sendona, Country M. Wynn was also making preparations for her return to the Lovelac
Hearing this soft and sweet voice, Philip turned his head and saw a familiar smiling face. It was beautiful and cute. Any man would be gratified by that smile. Moreover, the other party was dressed in sexy and revealing clothes. Her figure was perfect and on full display in front of Philip. Vivi Joo? Why was she on the plane too? “Oh, it’s really you!” Vivi exclaimed and trotted over immediately. She hugged Philip’s arm and leaned on his shoulder intimately. Anyone who did not know would misunderstand that these two were a couple. Philip looked helpless and quickly pushed Vivi away. He rolled his eyes and said, “Hey, whoa, keep your distance. I’m a married man with a wife and kids. You’re Ethan’s fiancée. Don't get so close to me. Others will gossip.” Vivi glared at Philip resentfully and let go of his arm. She sat next to him and muttered, “You really know how to hit a sore spot. I have nothing to do with Ethan. Even if there’s a marriage contract, it was arranged
Philip looked helpless but did not say anything. The flight attendant with a graceful figure wearing a red uniform and black stockings said apologetically, “I’m sorry, sir. Please wait a moment.” Philip smiled, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and waited. It was because this was the washroom for the first-class passengers. Obviously, the middle-aged woman ran over from the business class at the back and was occupying the first-class washroom. However, after waiting for ten minutes, the middle-aged woman still did not come out. Philip frowned, reached out, and knocked on the door. He asked, “Excuse me, are you done yet?” The middle-aged woman's scolding voice came from inside, “Why are you knocking? Don’t you know that someone is inside?” Philip was reprimanded and became even more helpless. The flight attendant on the side also bowed apologetically. Then, she stepped forward, knocked on the door again, and said, “Madam, please hurry up. This is the first-class
This slap was clean and decisive. The crisp slap startled many passengers in the business class cabin. All of them looked over. “Wow, that young man is too fierce!” “I think it’s well-deserved! The old woman has been very uncivilized since she got on the plane. The child kept crying and running around too. She even scolded several passengers who were sitting with her too.” “Well done! I've been wanting to slap that old woman for a long time! I've never seen such an unreasonable person!” A group of business class passengers spoke up at this moment and stood on Philip’s side. Back to Philip. After Philip slapped her, the middle-aged woman did not react for a long time. The other party clutched her cheek which rapidly became red and swollen with a face full of horror. Then, the middle-aged woman roared hysterically, “Ah, you little b*stard! How dare you beat me? Who are you? How dare you hit me? Do you know who my son is? You're dead. I'm telling you, you're dead! I'll h
Unfortunately, Philip was not affected by such things. He had always thought that such women were disgusting. Since everyone had a backer, he did not mind resorting to force. He would not back off if the woman decided to use some crooked tricks on him. “I don’t mind talking to you, but you need to put on some clothes first. If you can’t even dress properly, I have no reason to talk to you,” Philip said with an arrogant air of superiority. Hearing that, the woman could not help but burst out laughing. “You’re such a nice young man. I always thought you were a lecherous guy, but you’re so earnest. It seems that you can be a good business partner. I like you very much.” After saying this, a jacket appeared in the woman’s hands, and she draped it over her shoulders. Katie gritted her teeth at the woman’s actions. She was annoyed to see someone having ideas about Philip. Although Katie could be considered Philip’s apprentice, Katie had a secret crush on Philip. However, Katie
“I think everyone is underestimating humans. There are powerful formation masters among the humans. Although such things can restrain humans, how long can they last? Humans are constantly improving. They're simply looking down on humans!” Loony spoke with pride, clearly satisfied with the strength of humans. “Don’t blame me for bragging, but the humans were imprisoned for millions of years, and we've been making progress over the years. Other races would have faced a dead end if they were in our shoes. Not to mention escaping, most of them would have died of depression, so I can’t speak for them.” At this point, the pride of humans was fully reflected. Philip agreed with Loony. These people really underestimated the humans' abilities. “I don't know where they’ll go after escaping, but humans need social interaction, so I’m sure they won’t hole themselves up in a cave or something.” Philip frowned at this statement. In that case, many humans had probably entered the city. Th
The demons gave Moby a potion to make him stronger. Although Moby was ugly, it did not mean that he was stupid. On the contrary, he was more cautious than other races. He simply took a drop for an experiment without taking the entire thing. The creature that took the potion did become much stronger but ended up as an empty husk with a soul after one hour. The other party could control this body like a puppet if they had the relevant spell on hand. Moby was shocked by this discovery. It would have been the end of his life if he had taken the potion. He would have been seeking death by turning himself into a toy in the hands of the other party. Due to this reason, he decided to betray the demons. Black Rabbit was conflicted. The demons gave him the potion too. He simply kept the potion without using it because of his caution. He had thought of using it as a last resort, but he was so good at hiding things that he forgot where he kept it. In the end, he never used it. Blac
Everyone knew that the guy was just putting on a show. It was stupid to confront humans recklessly. Only a fool would mess with humans. Lyle and Aslan looked at each other. They knew the severity of the matter and could not wait to tell Philip about it. “Let's listen to what they have to say. We’ll tell Philip the whole story after figuring it out,” Lyle said calmly. They knew that they could not take this matter lightly. Although they did not know who sold their information, the other party was definitely up to no good, so they had to be careful. “Philip is the leader of a large organization. I heard that he’s here to turn the world of the gods upside down. He’s not from among the imprisoned humans but came from another world, which proves that he’s a force to be reckoned with. We may end up suffering if we confront him!” “Did the man named Philip release the humans?” “His goal is to destroy and take over the world of the gods!” Everyone was shocked by that declaration.
Moby quickly told Philip everything he knew. He knew that he had to tell Philip the truth to gain Philip’s approval. The fish creatures would get a lucky break once Philip approved of them and accepted them as their followers. Meanwhile, the demons knew Philip's strength through Akash’s escape. Not only were they not deterred, but they became more interested in Philip. They were curious to find out more about him. They even spread news about Philip in the city, but no one knew if they were doing it for revenge or to stir things up. While Philip learned more about the situation, Lyle and the others went out again. They simply could not sit still at home. Although the outside world was a mess, they could learn more about local sights and customs. Lyle and Aslan preferred to sit in a tavern and listen to gossip around them. At this time, the storyteller arrived excitedly, almost bursting with important news. “I heard something big today. Guess what?” Everyone looked at him e
Philip did not intend to kill Tom. On the contrary, he wanted Tom to live well so that he could suffer in pain all the time. Philip smacked Tom's body several times. Tom felt something was wrong the moment it happened. He looked distorted as if he was controlled by someone. His body was also twisting in weird angles. “I’ve destroyed your practice. You can never regain your power even if the demons help you. What do you think of this reward?” Philip sneered at Tom’s twisted posture. Philip severed all of Tom’s veins and imprisoned him in the swamp so that he could suffer the erosion of the swamp day and night. He wanted Tom to watch over Marina's remains forever. “I don’t have any grudge against the merfolk. I promised to help you back then, but you were stupid enough to believe the words of a treacherous villain to the point of killing your holy maiden. This is really sad and ridiculous.” The merfolk had suffered a tragic end, which was pitiful, so Philip did not want to dwel
“Chief, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and finish the ritual. Don’t let that guy get his way. We have to get back at him for his disrespect.” After saying this, Tom charged at Marina. He knew that he needed Marina’s blood to have a fresh start. At this time, Moray took out the merfolk's pearl. They hid the pearl very well and finally found it in the warehouse. Marina smiled in despair at the sight of the pearl. She obviously did not expect things to go so out of control. “Philip, I’m sorry to have wronged you earlier. It seems that you’re the only good person around. Everyone else has an ulterior motive and is always thinking about using me. In that case, I’ll do the last thing I can do to seek your forgiveness.” After saying this, Marina rushed to the pearl in Moray’s hand with sorrow in her eyes. Philip had a bad premonition and had a guess about what Marina was about to do. “Stop her!” Philip waved his hand, and everyone rushed over. Some people pinned Moray down
Although Tom had been tortured beyond recognition, he was still rational and yelled out his plan. Moray was hesitant. He knew what Tom was referring to. The merfolk had a powerful secret technique to create an immortal body by merging the blood of the holy maiden with a powerful warrior of the family. Tom was in such a bad condition that he would be dead if they did not save him now. However, once Marina and Tom’s blood were merged, it meant that they would have to be together and never be separated again. Marina shook her head in rejection. Not to mention the damage it would cause her, but she did not want to share the rest of her life with Tom. No one could live an eternal life with someone they did not love. However, Moray had gone crazy. He was bewitched by Tom and only had victory in his eyes. Although Tom was in a bad state, Moray believed that Tom could turn the tables with a little help. With that thought in mind, Moray grabbed Marina and pushed her to Tom reluctant
“Very well. I approve of this marriage. After you defeat Philip and return in victory, we’ll proceed with your wedding.” Hearing that, Tom sneered inwardly. He was an ambitious man. He was unwilling to let Moray control him. He planned to get the merfolk's treasure now. As long as he got the pearls from the merfolk and fish creatures, he could dominate the world with the treasures that could store energy, and everyone would have to bow down to him. He could force Marina to provide her blood and activate the pearl.When Marina was in despair, the mud that trapped Philip suddenly moved. Everyone was astounded by this scene. No one thought that Philip could survive. He was very strong, indeed. Before Tom could attack again, the swamp exploded. Tom was shocked. He had a bad feeling that everything would progress differently. Thinking of this, he kept attacking Philip with every means he had. However, it was futile. Philip easily broke through Tom’s defense and attacked him.
