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
Philip’s gaze fell upon the red Ferrari behind Finn!If he gave that car to Wynn, she would not have to take public transport to work anymore. That would save her so much effort.With that thought in mind, Philip smiled with certainty.However, the people around him looked at him as though he was a fool.Did the guy hit his head on something?“What did he just say? He wants to race Master Finn? And if he wins, he wants Master Finn to apologize and give him the car?”“Well, damn! The guy’s got balls. Doesn’t he know who Master Finn is?”“The provincial three-time champion!”Many onlookers broke out laughing, jeering at Philip and feeling sorry for him.The pauper really thought he could beat the prince.Finn was scoffing heartlessly as well. He did not expect the friend Melody brought to be so unaware of his own capabilities. The man wanted a race with Finn?That was suicidal!“Haha, friend, I think you messed up there. If you’d just apologized like a good boy, I might have
It was quite the spectacle!That was why Riverdale was especially busy that day.The streets were filled with luxury cars, race cars, modified cars. They all surged down the roads, heading toward Dragonstone Mountain from all directions.“Mommy, why are there so many fancy cars? Where are they going?”Many children on the street were quite curious to see so many luxury cars driving past them.The adults were even more lost. What was up with the streets today?Was it a fancy car parade?In the end, even the transport department got involved, going down to the streets to maintain the order.There were simply too many luxury cars, each of them worth at least a million. There were even some that were worth tens of millions, like Aston Martins and Bugatti Veyrons!They could not afford any incidents!The streets were jampacked!All of these rich sons and daughters were stuck on the streets, slamming their steering wheels and cursing their heads off.The owners of normal cars all
The entire crowd nearly fell over from exasperation!Philip Clarke really was here as a f*cking prank, right? He had to be!Did he even know how to drive?Melody’s expression dropped a few more degrees. She was going to be utterly humiliated today.Everyone snorted at the screen, feeling utterly exasperated with Philip.“Go!”On the track, the sexy racecar model brought down the red flag she was waving!Finn’s Ferrari was the first to roar to life. It zoomed right ahead, leaving Philip in its dust.On the track, Philip’s AE86 was still parked in its original position. No one knew what he was up to.“What are you doing, Philip? Get moving!” Melody was beside herself with anxiety, so she grabbed the commentator’s mic and roared at him.Philip shrugged helplessly. “Sorry, I mistook the brake for the accelerator.”Pfft!The audience burst into laughter!Melody felt dizzy. She threw down the mic and sat back in her chair, pouting angrily and ignoring the happenings from now on.
“You’re right. The mermaid is such a mysterious creature. How can anyone cure its poison?” Stanley smiled wryly, feeling sorry for himself. “Philip, you have to find a way to save my father. I’ll do anything for you if you can save him!” Yule grabbed Philip’s shoulders with agitation. He begged Philip and almost knelt at his feet. In Yule's opinion, Philip was an omnipotent and powerful existence. There was nothing he could not do. Likewise, Aslan and the others shared the same thought. Therefore, they were surprised when Philip said that he could not save Stanley. Philip sighed. In the past, he had been to places of a lower civilization where the natives were not very strong. He could do whatever he wanted and no one could do much to him even if they wanted to. However, Philip was not familiar with places of a higher civilization. Even Rabbit only knew a little and was hesitant to speak. Hence, Philip was not confident he could save Stanley. “Maybe that creature came fro
“Let’s stop making wild guesses and wait for Yule's father to explain. This creature doesn’t belong to this continent, so no one knows what’s going on.” Philip reached out and gently touched the scales in amazement. He felt that something was wrong with this mermaid. With that touch, he found that the mermaid’s scales were better than those of a dragon. Philip once found a dragon scale by chance, but the dragon scale was not as tough as the mermaid's scales. Moreover, the mermaid's scales could change into various shapes, which was amazing. “If the scales are used to make a weapon, it’ll definitely be the best treasure. Not only can it attack and defend, but also…” Before Philip could finish his words, he heard Yule's father coughing violently. He seemed in pretty bad shape. “Rascal, go and look at the fish. She’s not an ordinary fish but a mermaid I found by chance! According to ancient records, there are many similar creatures in the world of the gods, and they're a force
Almost everyone knew about the condition of Yule's father, and most of them were there to watch the fun. When Yule and the others appeared, some people could not wait to start taunting him. “Oh, you’re such a good son. Your father is already in this state, but you’re still in the mood to fool around outside. You should start preparing for your father’s wake!” “The miracle doctor has given a diagnosis, saying that your father has only a few more days to live. Stop wasting time and start preparing for the funeral!” Everyone mocked Yule, who was respected simply because of his father’s position. Now that Yule's father was dying, no one wanted to show him that respect anymore. Some people even planned to steal things from Yule’s house! With no one else to back him up, everyone thought that Yule did not deserve to stay in that luxurious house anymore. Hearing everyone’s taunts, Yule was so angry that he trembled all over, but now was no time to argue. He had to find out his fath
Very soon, everyone left the King’s Ruins. Philip had taken care of the danger, so they just had to collect the treasures. Yule and his team were grateful to Philip and flattered him along the way. After all, they would not have been able to leave the place alive so easily if not for Philip. The King’s Ruins were still dangerous even though they did not face any monsters head-on. They knew they managed to avoid most dangers because of Philip. At this moment, Yule’s communicator vibrated. Only his close family members had his contact, so Yule immediately felt a bad premonition. He walked to the corner with the communicator and spoke anxiously. It seemed that he had encountered some big trouble. Philip waited for Yule to return to the team without a word. Ten minutes later, Yule returned to the team. He looked very depressed as if he had encountered a big problem. Philip noticed his reaction but did not take the initiative to approach him. He knew that Yule would approach h
“Philip, look, I solved half the problem for you. The rest is up to you.” After saying this, Yule laughed triumphantly, blatantly disregarding Mason’s cold glare. Mason frowned and looked at Philip with apprehension. He could not verify Philip’s story, but if Philip was telling the truth, he would have lost the bet again. “Get out of our sight. We've wasted a lot of time because of you. Don't blame us for attacking you if you stay here any longer!” Aslan had a hot temper and kicked Mason when he noticed Mason's hesitance. Mason fell to the ground miserably and looked at Philip with murderous intent. “Let’s go and stop wasting our time here!” After saying this, Mason took the lead and ran away, unwilling to stay here a second longer. Philip’s strong power deterred him greatly, and Philip was not afraid of Sienna at all, which crushed Mason’s final confidence. Mason was best at using other people’s influence, but it was on the premise that others were willing to bow down to
Mason frowned at Aslan but did not respond. Philip said, “This guy has become Sienna’s underling. He’s here to find the Binary Herb for Sienna, which coincides with our purpose. Now, he wants me to hand it over or he’ll ask Sienna to kill me. I’m very scared,” Philip said sarcastically and could hardly contain his laughter. Hearing that, everyone was startled before bursting into laughter. They had been with Philip through thick and thin, so they knew who Sienna was. “No way, this guy is using Sienna to threaten Philip. Is he kidding?” “I’m sure he’ll be scared out of his wits if he finds out what really happened. This is ridiculous.” Philip’s men scoffed at Mason’s arrogance. Yule’s men were puzzled, wondering what was going on. “Before this, Philip almost killed a snake monster named Sienna. Unexpectedly, the snake monster escaped and found herself a human servant. On top of that, this human servant thinks so highly of himself as if he's very proud of his identity.” L
“Go and grab that thing for me. We have to get hold of it! Don’t let that guy steal our treasure. And remember to find the thing I want!” Mason ordered his men in a panic. Mason was startled by Philip’s speed of collecting things. Everyone quickly sprang into action. They were not fools. They would be penalized if they did not get things done. They raced against time to grab the treasures from Philip, but Philip was unfazed. He knew that all the treasures would fall into his hands in the end. Besides, the piles of treasures simply contained some pills and other stuff, nothing much. “Sir, we didn’t find the Binary Herb.” At this time, someone stepped forward to report their findings. Everyone was anxious when they realized they could not find the most important Binary Herb. Mason scowled at the bad news. “Impossible. The Binary Herb must be around somewhere.” The location of the Binary Herb was marked on his map. It had to be nearby. Mason looked around with the map
“Of course, an ignorant guy like you wouldn’t know what’s going on. This place is full of danger and had a powerful monster as a guardian. You don’t know anything because you’re unworthy.” Mason jerked his chin smugly, clearly proud that he knew some inside information. “If you beg me, I’ll consider going with you to deal with this monster.” In Mason’s opinion, Philip was no match for this monster. The bloodstains had to be from some weak monsters killed by Philip. According to his understanding, the legendary guardian snake monster was very powerful, not something ordinary people could deal with. “Don't you know why you’re here?” Philip said smugly. He knew that Mason was nothing but a pawn. Philip had seen through everything and was full of scorn for Mason’s nature. Mason was horrified that Philip knew him so well. “How did you know? I've been keeping this secret very well. No one should know about it. Did that snake woman tell you? That's impossible. She hates you very
Seeing this scene, Rabbit applauded excitedly. “You must be dreaming if you think you can fight Philip!” Rabbit said excitedly. Philip quickly killed the snake. He was surprised to find that the snake only had half of its body. He thought half of the snake was trapped in the stone, but it only had half a body left. “Did it grow from the stone?” Rabbit was shocked, wondering what was going on. “Something is wrong with this monster beast. It’s actually growing from the stone. How strange!” Philip was surprised by the strange discovery. “Indeed. It looks very strange, not like a good guy at all.” Rabbit was horrified and felt that the snake was more than met the eye. “Philip, look at this. Is it a description of this monster beast?” Rabbit looked at a huge stone tablet on the side in puzzlement. “Philip, look, I think this snake has something to do with that snake woman!” Rabbit was surprised to see what was written on the stone tablet and pulled Philip over for a look. The
