Wynn stared directly at Philip, her eyes filled with suspicion.Just who was her husband, really? Why was a man as powerful as Theo Zander treating him with such respect and gravitas?It was not just Wynn, either. Martha and Charles were also looking at him with eyes widened in surprise.They had met Theo Zander before at the Old Master’s birthday.The Old Master had treated Theo with significant reverence.Yet now, Theo was treating that useless Philip even more respectfully.What kind of a sick joke was this?Martha’s eyes narrowed in suspicion and she looked Philip up and down. She just could not find anything special or impressive about Philip at all.With that, she was even more certain now that Theo was a nobody too.If he had to treat a piece of trash with such respect, he must not be all that either. Had her old father gone blind? Why was he so polite to a mere thug like that?On the other hand, Manson also blinked slightly when he saw that Philip had really called
There were many sales personnel and prospective buyers in the large sales office, all of them gathered to watch the drama. Now, however, all of them were feeling rather lost.Manson had been quite cocky just a while ago, but he was the Chief Staff Sergeant around these parts. He had a reputation of getting up to such antics, but no one dared to really cross him at all.Yet here he was, slapping his younger sister without hesitation. "Why did you hit me, Manny?" The flashy woman was utterly shell-shocked, holding her face with hurt written all over her eyes.She had lost the two teeth she had just gotten fixed today. After that, even her own brother slapped her twice. What on earth was happening?"B*tch! I told you to get on your knees and apologize to this man and his lady! And their parents too! Are you disobeying me?"Manson was especially furious. His sister was being so stupid! Could she still not read the situation?Everyone was once again blind-sided.Just a second a
"There should be a billion bucks in that card," Philip said mildly, raising his brow as he wore a confident smile. Wynn paused and stared at Phillip suspiciously, her heart pounding in her chest.After that, though, she rolled her eyes at him again and pinched his waist, berating him, "You're pulling my leg again, aren't you? If you really have a billion, I'll have to serve you for the rest of my life."Philip grinned at that and put his arm around Wynn's slender neck. "You said it, not me. Come on, let's make that an official contract."Wynn batted his arm away and scolded him with a laugh, "Alright, alright. So you insist you have a billion? Sheesh, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to. But you're not handwaving this off today. I demand an explanation once we get back."Wynn raised her brows and rolled her eyes at him.She did not believe that he really was a billionaire. To her, it was just Philip's idea of a joke.Even if he did tell her that his family ran Northe
Wynn stood up. Wearing a white blazer, heels, a presentable black lace blouse, and white slacks, she walked out of the VP’s office.“Mindy, I’m going out for a bit. Call me if you need me,” Wynn told her assistant, Mindy Scott.“Sure thing, Wynn. Oh, do you want to take my car?” Mindy was always so cheerful and full of smiles. She was adorable.Full of youth and vigor, she was.“Alright.” Wynn accepted Mindy’s car keys and headed to the carpark alone.She wanted to go to the bank and check how much money was in the card Philip gave her.More than anything else, she was simply curious.On the other end, Philip was just leaving a mall with a princess doll about half his height.Mila had insisted on it.As soon as he walked out of the door, though, he had barely taken a few steps before a flashy pink Porsche 911 swerved a beautiful 180 degrees and skidded to a halt right in front of Philip.“F*ck!”Philip resisted the urge to swear out loud. He walked around the car and tried t
As soon as she sent the text, Philip, who was still sitting in the car anxiously, received it.A glance told him that the sender was Yolanda.He straight-up ignored it.However, the messages kept coming in, pinging his phone over and over.He had no choice, so he picked up his phone and glanced at it. “Sugar Daddy, I’m not a conman. I’m Yolanda Lee, and here’s my ID and address. Please, lend me five thousand! It’s an emergency! I’ll definitely pay you back later!”The message came with Yolanda’s ID attached. It was a nice photo.Philip thought it over and suddenly decided to teach this Yolanda a lesson. He replied, “Why should I lend you the money? What’s in it for me?”Yolanda was quite exhilarated to receive his reply, but when she saw the contents of the message, she fell silent.After some hesitation, she bit her bright red lip and replied, “If you lend me the money, I’ll keep you company for a week. Every night if you want me to, and you can do whatever you like. I’ll retu
There was a generation gap between him and kids these days. He had no idea what they were thinking.“Hey, hold up. Did I say you could leave?” Melody put her hands on her hips and pointed at Philip with a huff.Philip had barely turned when a few young men and women poured out of the mansion. They were all dressed to the nines and clearly came from wealthy backgrounds. When they saw Melody, all of them beamed and waved at her. “Hey, Melody! We were waiting for you. Where did you go? You said you went to pick up a friend, right? Where are they? Introduce them to us.”“Anyone the great Miss Zander calls a friend must be impressive indeed.”“He’s not your boyfriend, is he? That would break poor Master Finn’s heart.”They spoke over each other, their arms over each other’s shoulders as they joked and laughed. They were the very picture of youthful energy.Melody glared at the boy with the baseball cap and blonde close crop. She berated him, “Frederick Kelly, could you lay off it al
However, she waited forever without a result.Wynn frowned and keyed in the PIN again, but nothing changed.She could not do anything, so she called the security guard over and found out that the ATM was out of service and currently under maintenance. “Thank you,” Wynn told the guard politely and then walked toward the counter.Just then, however, a familiar voice called out to Wynn from behind her.“Wynn Johnston? Why are you here too?” Yolanda just happened to walk through the bank door at exactly that moment, and the first thing she saw was that familiar figure.It was Wynn Johnston, huh?The two of them exchanged a polite smile when they met, behaving exceptionally passionate with each other.“Yolanda, right?” Wynn said with a smile, her gaze saying she only wished she could have reunited with her old friend sooner. Back in college, Yolanda was her classmate and best friend.After they graduated, though, the two of them fell out of touch.It was not because Yolanda was
Just then, the man in the white shirt, Finn suddenly pulled a large bouquet of red roses out of his trunk. In front of everyone else, he fell onto one knee before Melody, saying passionately, “Mel, I really like you. Will you be my girlfriend?”The crowd went wild. Melody and her friends were not the only ones there, after all. This was a professional track, and there were at least a hundred people here, all of whom had rich parents.“Say yes, say yes!”Finn had clearly coordinated the chanting in advance.Frederick and the others were especially fired up. In comparison, Philip had long since been left by the wayside.That was perfectly fine by him, of course. He just wanted these dang kids to get their party over with and send him home.Once he got back, he had to complain to Theo about the latter’s daughter. She needed a good re-education.However, things did not turn out as planned.Melody gave Finn a cold look and rejected him outright. “Sorry, Finn. I know you like me, but
“No matter what, I’m better than Aslan!” Rabbit hopped up and down without a care in the world, happy about the role he played this time. Rabbit hummed excitedly, annoying everyone. Then, he used the elf water excitedly. It was not used for bathing. Rabbit drank a big mouthful and felt the changes in his body. “I was just an ordinary rabbit before this, but I’ve evolved into the body of a god now!” Rabbit patted his chest with pride and excitement. Philip frowned, surprised to hear that Rabbit used to have a mortal body. “Aren’t you from this world? Why do you have a mortal body? You should have a god’s body by right.” Philip frowned in confusion, wondering what was going on. Hearing that, Rabbit seemed embarrassed as if it was difficult to speak about it. “Due to my playfulness back then, I was suppressed because of some pathetic things and lost my divine body at that time. I had to live a miserable life as an ordinary rabbit, but things are different now. I've finally resto
Rabbit’s worry was unfounded. Instead of looking down at the elf tree, the tree monster was excited. “No problem. Leave it to me. I can easily protect this sacred tree with my strength. We’ll also foster our relationship and won’t let you and Philip down. Philip will be our god forever!” The tree monster was very good at adapting to the situation and quickly flattered them. She was in a good mood and wanted to acknowledge Philip as her boss. “Sure enough, Philip is so powerful that he can get the elves’ treasure without any effort!”… While everyone marveled at Philip’s luck, the ugly elves were thinking about how to regain their status and power. “My queen, what should we do now? They've deprived us of our status and dignity, simply driving us into the corner!” “If we do as they say, we’ll be excluded from the world of the gods, and everything will be too late!” “I think we should fight back while they’re unprepared. With their strength, they can’t do anything to us!”
The elf tree stopped talking after that. He knew that the elves were not that powerful. They would definitely need help if they faced any problems. Philip was their best choice. If the elves ever sought help from Philip, the elf tree would put in some good words for them and at least try to persuade Philip to help them. Akash remembered the elf tree’s every word, and he was glad that he kept Philip's contact information. He trusted the elf tree very much. Since the tree told him to find Philip when he encountered trouble, it proved that Philip was a very trustworthy person. “I never thought that I’d have to work with humans in the end!” Akash said helplessly. He knew that all creatures in the world of the gods hated humans, but they were his last resort. “It’s okay. He’s no ordinary human. His ideas and ideals are better than most. Maybe he’d be willing to help me.”… Meanwhile, Philip sneezed on his way back. He felt that someone had ideas about him. “What’s going on? W
“You’re welcome. In that case, I hope we can meet again.” Akash got many good things from Philip, including some precious tea leaves. The elves were not used to drinking tea, but they were full of praise after coming into contact with the tea leaves. “I look forward to doing business with you again. Remember to give us a discount if you have other good things next time!” Akash sent Philip and his people out with a bright smile on his face. He felt he had made a fortune this time. However, the volume of this transaction was quite big and almost exhausted all his reserves. Akash was full of excitement as he looked at his empty elf water reserves. The current situation was not a problem. They would get more very soon. Elves could live eternally. They could wait for centuries for the next batch of elf water. Thinking of this, Akash came to the elf tree and greeted him with a smile, “My lord, I hope you can put some effort into producing more elf water. We've received many ama
“This is my soul branch. If you take it and plant it, I’ll grow up in no time. During this time, I’ll have to depend on your boss.” Rabbit nodded and left with the branch. The elf tree would not last long without its soul and would wither after three or five days at most. Philip had no idea what Rabbit had done. He was still negotiating with Akash, taking out various things to trade with the other party. Akash was quite eager about the things in Philip's hand. He simply could not control himself from spending money, wishing he could get everything from Philip’s hands. “How did you end up with so many treasures? Humans are an amazing race, indeed. Have you ever thought of rescuing the imprisoned people?” Akash asked curiously during the transaction. After all, it would make sense for Philip to rescue his own kind. Philip shook his head calmly. He was not that free. “They have nothing to do with me. Why should I save them? To satisfy my hero complex? I don’t need anyone t
“I’m here for the tree monster. We're at the place where the elves live, and we found a huge male tree, a powerful one. Are you interested? Just look at how good our welfare is. Joining Philip can also solve your marriage issue. Do you think other people will care about a little tree monster like you?” The tree monster was clearly taken aback upon hearing this. “Are you talking about the divine elf tree? How did you manage to persuade him?” The tree monster was stunned. In its opinion, the elf tree was a sacred existence. Just like Prince Charming, who every woman dreamed of but could not get, the elf tree was a force to be reckoned with. Rabbit nodded. He had reached a consensus with that tree after a good chat. “You may choose not to trust me, but you can always trust our boss!” Rabbit patted his chest and mentioned Philip. He knew that these two would trust Philip no matter what. Sure enough, the tree monster became excited and quickly agreed with a bright smile.
“Are you talking about that tree monster? It’s female, of course. I had a hard time capturing it. You've taken the tree monster away, haven’t you? Why ask me this question? Just ask it if you want to find out. I believe it’ll answer you.” Black Rabbit grimaced in pain as Philip pulled his ears. He was puzzled and wondered why Philip suddenly asked him this question. Rabbit smiled and almost applauded. “So, do you want to consider my proposal? You have to believe that I’ll never hurt you. I can definitely negotiate this deal with her.” Philip nodded and took Rabbit into Verge Tower so that he could have a good chat with the tree monster. The tree monster and the water monster were enjoying various wonderful resources in Verge Tower. They were very excited about the rich energy and saw a lot of pills too. Philip’s students tossed their failed products in here, and Philip never bothered about them because he had no use for them anyway. The pills were usually used as nutrient
Akash knew how valuable Philip's pills were. It would be great if he could get more. In comparison, he felt that elf water paled in contrast. Elf water made no difference to gods like them. It could enhance their strength at most but not as much as imagined. There was a limit to how much each person could use, so they could not use it to enhance their strength forever. Other than those who needed purification, they did not need elf water at all. It would be best if they could trade it with Philip. “I can trade as much as you want. I’ll offer 100 drops of elf water for one of these pills. What do you think?” Philip was surprised by Akash’s forthright manner. “Although elf water is important, it doesn't play a big role for us, so it’s best if we can use it in exchange for something more useful.” Philip nodded at his explanation. Indeed, this deal was mutually beneficial. Akash was worried that Philip would not have many pills, but he was surprised to see Philip taking out h
“These are ten drops of elf water, considered priceless. I’d never give this to another person so easily.” Akash was quite generous to Philip. He knew that Philip was a good person and worthy of a good relationship. “So, this is elf water.” Philip picked up the small bottle for a closer look and was pleasantly surprised. He could feel his body reacting to the elf water. His body needed a lot of elf water, definitely more than ten drops. “It’s quite valuable. May I ask if you plan to sell it? I can make a deal with you,” Philip said with a smile. Elf water was valuable but not rare. The elves owned an elf tree that produced the elf water. Akash smiled brightly at Philip’s reaction. “Since you want the deal, state your offer. I have high standards.” Akash was certain that Philip could not offer anything good, but Philip handed him some pills. Philip made the pills himself, so the quality could be guaranteed. “Give these pills a try. I believe they can be of great help to th
