Longford Park? The most luxurious, heavily guarded villa area… The gathering place of the topmost affluent people in Riverdale! The villas here would cost more than tens of millions a unit! Even the unit at the borders would start from 30 million and onward! As for Longford Park, the most expensive villa would naturally be the First Palace at the center. The unique geographical location was very majestic. Plus, it was surrounded by a group of guarded heroes. Speaking of Longford Park, it would be natural to mention the boss behind the scenes—Longford Group, owned by the Longford family. The Longford family was a local entrepreneur of Riverdale that had stood undefeated for 40 years. The power and influence behind them were terrifying. Even the underground king of Riverdale, Theo Zander, had to work by their rules. He could not afford to offend them. They were the true force! The strength of Longford Group had penetrated almost every corner of Riverdale. The connecti
Philip knew exactly what Wynn was thinking, so he said, “What you saw was arranged by a friend of my dad’s whom I’ve contacted. He happened to be working in the special forces in Riverdale. I don’t know why he made such a big commotion, but don’t worry, it’ll be fine.” Wynn was relieved now. Initially, she thought Philip’s family was part of that circle, or maybe he was the offspring of the sort of family with a special background that could only be seen on TV. It seemed that she had been overthinking it. Nevertheless, Wynn was even more curious about Philip’s family now. Wynn asked many questions in the duration of their candlelight dinner. Philip cleverly avoided the crucial questions and gave Wynn a satisfactory explanation each time. “Wynnie, trust me. There are some things that I can’t tell you yet, but I promise you that one day, I’ll tell you everything.” Philip sat in the garden with Wynn in his arms, enjoying the warmth. Wynn nodded. At this moment, she had ful
Philip turned around and saw his mother-in-law approaching him with a confused expression on her face. Her eyebrows were twisted into a deep frown, and she looked extremely unhappy. At this moment, Martha simply could not hide her contempt for Philip. The two ladies next to her were elegantly and luxuriously dressed. One of them was Martha’s sister, Paula. Philip did not recognize the other person as it was the first time he met her, but from her looks and appearance, she was from no ordinary family. Since both Martha and Paula were trying their best to please the other party, it was conceivable that her identity was quite special. “What are you doing here?” Martha was quite surprised to run into Philip here, but she was even more upset to see him. She had finally begged Paula to introduce her to a distant branch relative of the Longford family to bring them for a look at the villas in Longford Park. However, they ran into this useless son-in-law of hers. If the other par
Martha hurried to explain. “No way, don’t listen to his nonsense. If he can buy a villa here, I’d serve him tea and wait on him every day.” Hmph! Barb sneered and said, “Do you think that Longford Park is a vegetable market where just anybody can buy as they please?” Martha quickly acquiesced. “Yes, you’re right.” After that, she glared at Philip and walked up to him angrily. She raised her hand and slapped him while shouting, “Get the hell out of here! Do you still want to stay here and embarrass me further?” Philip did not expect that he would be slapped. The expression on his face hardened as his eyes turned cold. It was not only a day or two that he had tolerated Martha Yates. Unfortunately, the vindictive woman standing in front of him was Wynn’s mother. Philip shook his head helplessly. He turned around and walked toward Tiger and the Maybach. Barb and Paula were full of contempt at Philip’s actions. Had that guy gone mad? That was a Maybach! Did he delive
Philip looked at the phone display with a frown and connected the call. On the other end of the line, the sounds of crying and angry shouts came through. “Philip, come and save me. I… I got into an accident with your car, and the other party wants me to pay 20 million…” “Accident? What kind of damages cost 20 million?” Philip got a shock. Lynn was just too unreliable, getting into an accident just like that. That was a Ferrari! She got into an accident and the other party was demanding 20 million in compensation? Was it possible that the other party drove a luxury car too? Was this the day for luxury bumper cars? Lynn could not explain clearly over the phone. She was just crying and shouting. “Philip, come here quickly! There are so many of them. If I don’t pay up, they said they’ll take me away and go to my house to look for my parents!” Philip caved in and hurriedly said, “Wait for me, I’ll be there soon.” Philip hung up the phone, got into Tiger’s car, and rushed
As soon as Lynn finished her sentence, the crowd burst into laughter. “The f*ck! She doesn’t even recognize a Ferrari Enzo.” “So embarrassing. That’s an Enzo, a top-notch sports car! It’s a Ferrari royalty, a super sports car that’s no longer in production!” “But of course. Only a few hundred vehicles were produced in the world, and in this country, only six or seven are here!” Listening to the crowd’s discussion, Lynn began to realize that the situation was not quite right. There were only six or seven in the country? A Ferrari royalty, a super sports car that was no longer in production? Oh no! Lynn panicked all of a sudden, and her eyes started drifting. She still said stiffly, “I don’t believe you. My cousin-in-law will be here soon.” Lynn stomped her foot bitterly. The discussions of the onlookers had deflated her bubble a little. Across from her, the few young men simply chuckled. The owner of the Ferrari Enzo, the young man in the white shirt, said, “Okay,
Philip came running from a distance and rushed into the crowd. He grabbed hold of Lynn and asked in concern, “Lynn, are you alright?” Lynn wept bitterly and threw herself into Philip’s arms, crying, “Philip, they… They want me to accompany them to sing and dance. They said if I don’t sleep with them, I have to pay 20 million!” Boohoo! Lynn sobbed piteously. Philip comforted her and said, “Okay, okay. Just leave everything to me. It’s going to be fine.” Lynn rubbed her teary red eyes and asked cautiously, “Really? It’s 20 million. Philip, do you have so much money?” Philip shrugged, turned toward the few arrogant young men, and said, “Isn’t it just 20 million? Why are you pulling her into the car?” The leading guy in the white shirt chuckled. He scrutinized Philip from top to bottom before pointing at his nose. “F*ck! Where did a beggar like you come from? Are you trying to stick your nose in here?” “What the hell? Open your blind eyes and see clearly. This is the Ferrar
“I’m telling you, this car is not mine, but you don’t believe me. Now, not only do you want me to pay 20 million, but you also want me to pay over one million for the car repair fees,” Philip put out his hands and said helplessly.It was time to teach his cousin-in-law a lesson. If not, she would not remember her place.She was so arrogant and bossy. How would she survive when she stepped foot into society?“Ah!”Lynn was stunned. She stomped her feet in frustration. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? What should I do? It’s more than 20 million! Sob, sob, sob…”Lynn was horrified. She squatted down on the street and started crying without caring about her image.Philip waited for her while she cried and sighed. Then, he was about to walk over and negotiate with the few youngsters.Lynn stood up suddenly and ran. While she was running, she shouted, “It’s his car! Go ask for money from him!”Everyone was completely shocked.A second later, Lynn had vanished from their sight.Damn
When Sienna was still a young and innocent girl back then, she was very excited to share an amazing pill she found with her husband, but he tricked her and stole it from her. When Sienna realized that her husband had eaten the pill, she sealed the pill’s medicinal properties with powerful means so it was useless even though he had taken the pill. Therefore, when Sienna saw the snake’s body earlier, she knew that the pill’s medicinal properties were still intact without being consumed yet. It was a blessing in disguise, and her hard work paid off. “Hehe, Philip actually thought I was a devoted lover. He has no idea how important this corpse is to me. Speaking of which, I have to thank that fool.” Sienna’s initial plan was to recover her strength with the Binary Herb, but getting this corpse produced the same effect, so Sienna was very excited. Sienna laughed wildly as she felt her strength recovering rapidly. Mason huddled in the corner quietly for fear that Sienna would e
Seeing the snake carcass, Sienna was dumbfounded. She could not believe that she would see her husband's corpse here. “What's going on? How did things turn out this way?” Sienna was very agitated and grabbed Philip in disbelief. “Where did you see him? Why was he cut in half? What's going on? Tell me!” Philip was surprised by Sienna’s emotional outburst. “I thought you were looking for the Binary Herb to save your husband,” Philip said with a smile. He did not sympathize with Sienna. Both snakes were up to no good. Even if they had a good relationship, they lived in vain. “I knew that someone locked him up but I didn’t know it was in that mysterious sea. I’d have saved him in person if I’d known about it!” Sienna said mournfully. Philip looked at Sienna doubtfully. He felt that her behavior was not normal. She must be up to no good. “So, what do you want to do now? Aren't you here to find the Binary Herb?” Aslan suddenly appeared and scoffed. He did not have a good im
Yule knew he was not worthy to get involved in this matter but he wanted a share of the pie. He was uncomfortable with this uneasiness. “You need to improve your strength and stop being so cowardly. Although I don't know what it takes to enter that world, your current level is obviously not going to cut it. Improving yourself is a means of protecting yourself.” Philip did not put it so explicitly because he had a good impression of Yule. If Yule could improve himself, Philip did not mind taking him along. Lyle and the others had no worries. As Philip's subordinates, they had the right to follow him. Philip was surprised by this unexpected gain and could not wait to deal with the snake monster now. Since Sienna tried every means to find the Binary Herb, she must have a way to recover her strength. Otherwise, she could not use the herb even if she got it. At this time, Mason returned in a miserable state. He never dreamed that Philip could defeat him so easily. Philip was
“By the way, my name is Marina. You can call me Her Highness Princess Mermaid.” Philip did not take the mermaid’s introduction seriously. He was not a lapdog and would not call her by her title. Calling her by name was good enough for her. “If I help you open the portal to the world of the gods, what can I get out of it? As a businessman, I value profit very much. I don't mind helping you if I can profit from it,” Philip said with a smile. Philip knew that he picked up the key to the world of the gods earlier. In that case, he had to take this negotiation seriously and get as much as he could from Marina. Marina's eyes widened upon hearing this, surprised that Philip found the key to the world of the gods. “Did you find the key after going to the lifeless sea?” Marina's hands trembled with excitement. Philip nodded calmly and took out a blue stone from his pocket to prove his words. Nothing was better proof than the stone. Marina was ecstatic. “That’s great. Since you f
“Ugly woman, don’t forget who saved you. Besides, you’re so seriously injured that I don’t think you have much backing behind you. Do you really want to oppose us? If things come to a fight, we’ll make sure to take you down first!” Aslan was smart and knew that this mermaid was a force to be reckoned with, but he was more aware that he had nothing to fear if she wanted to use force against them. Even if the so-called gods invaded, the worst outcome would be death for all parties. Before they died, they would drag as many people as they could with them, which was everyone's usual way of doing things. “You!” The mermaid was so angry that she wanted to kill someone but she was too weak to do anything. “Stop trying to infuriate us. We don't mean to hurt you. You don't have to be so harsh,” Philip said calmly, wondering why she was so cranky. “Hmph!” The mermaid snorted without another word, unwilling to speak to Philip. Philip smiled helplessly at her snort. “Why don't yo
“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
