Chapter 2

Author: Master Yu Who Smokes
Philip’s expression changed, frowning slightly.

Seeing Philip in his delivery uniform, looking shabby, Lily pointed at the door and said, “Get out now, we don’t allow delivery men here.”

“I’m not here for delivery,” explained Philip.

Lily tidied her bangs before crossing her arms and said icily, “This is not the first time I hear this. Everyone that comes in here says they’re not delivery men. Please!”

“I’m not. I’m here to see George Thomas.” Feeling exasperated, Philip headed inside after saying that.

“F*ck! Are you mad? Didn’t you hear what I was saying?” Lily was furious. It was her first time seeing such a shameless delivery man who would just force his way in after being denied entry.

Just then, a department manager seemed to have heard the commotion and came out with an ugly expression. “What’s going on?”

“Manager Stuart, this delivery man is trying to force his way into our office!” Lily pointed at Philip and then continued with much disdain, “I’ll get security to chase him out immediately!”

The manager frowned and sized Philip up before saying, “Our company doesn’t allow delivery men inside. Please leave.”

Stuart showed more courtesy, but his tone and attitude did not sound friendly. This man was a department manager of a company listed in the Fortune Global 500. To be this polite to rubbish delivery men was already very kind.

Seeing Philip still standing there in a daze, Lily was anxious to show her authority, so she pointed at him again and roared, “Did you hear that? Get out now!”

Philip was annoyed. Did she swallow a stick of dynamite, or is she on her period? This is a company owned by my family, and you’re just a watchdog! Who are you to bark at your owner? Damn it!

“I’ve already said that I’m not here for a delivery. I’m here to see George Thomas,” Philip answered coldly.

George Thomas? The manager was stunned as he stared, bewildered at Philip before snorting out a laugh. “You’re looking for our chairman?”

“George Thomas, is your chairman?” Philip was dumbstruck. Wasn’t that old man a mere secretary? Since when did he secretly become chairman? No wonder he was brave enough to want to talk about conditions. That means I can’t be soft when I see him later! I, Philip Clarke, will never inherit the family business! I’ll just take the money and go!

Stuart shook his and laughed sarcastically. “You didn’t even know that President Thomas is our chairman, and you say you’re looking for him? Do you have an appointment?”

“Mr. Stuart, stop joking. How could trash like him get an appointment?” Lily mocked as her lips curved into a sarcastic smile.

“Alright, alright. Lily, get security to come over.” Stuart waved impatiently.

“Understood, Mr. Stuart,” answered Lily in a coquettish voice before she jogged over to the front desk and picked up the phone to call the security department.

The manager was about to leave when, suddenly, an angry voice sounded at the front desk.

“George Thomas, get down here right now! I’m being held up by your receptionist. If I don’t see you in three minutes, I’m leaving.”

The other two people followed the source of the voice and saw Philip just hanging up with a lazy expression as his eyes surveyed the office environment.

The mocking smile on Lily’s lips grew, and she reproached, “You’re even putting on an act now! You deserve to be a delivery man for life!” Her hands then shifted from the phone to take a secret picture of Philip to post on her social media timeline with the caption, ‘Disgusting! Met a mad delivery man today and about to get security to kick him out…’

On one side, Stuart frowned as he shot Lily a look. The latter understood immediately and gave him an ‘OK’ gesture. She called the security department and reported, “Hello, come over to the front desk to take care of a piece of human trash.” After hanging up, Lily sat back down and started touching up her make-up, ignoring Philip.

Soon, the chairman of Apex Group, George Thomas, with his secretary in tow, came jogging out of the elevator and saw their young master waiting at the lounge from afar!

However, what made their eyes pop was seeing three security personnel about to throw the young master out!

That’s the sole heir of the family business! George instantly yelled, “Stop!”

The three security guards were just pushing Philip out when they heard the order. They turned to see their chairman rushing over with an enraged expression! Why is the chairman here?

‘Thud!’ The three men straightened up and saluted. “Good day, Mr. President!” they greeted.

However, George did not notice them and went straight toward Philip; his face blooming like a sunflower.

The moment Lily noticed the chairman, she quickly hurried over. And when she saw Philip still standing there like an idiot, her rage grew.

“Mr. President!” Lily greeted respectfully before turning to glare at Philip with disdain. “Why are you still here? Three of you, throw him out immediately!” Lily was enraged. Were the security team blind? How could they let this trash stand in the lounge when the chairman was here? What if this madman annoyed the chairman?

George, however, shot a cold glance at Lily and reproached, “What are you doing? This is the young master of our company, the future president! Who allowed you lot to be this disrespectful?!”

Young… Young master? This guy? How was this delivery man anything like a young master?

Lily was dumbstruck. She said indignantly, “Mr. President, are you mistaken? How is he our company’s young master?”

“I’m not mistaken,” answered George coldly as the contempt for this woman grew in his heart. What kind of tone and attitude is this? Is this how you speak to your chairman?

Lily immediately realized her error and bowed in apology. “Mr. President, I’m sorry, I…”

The manager, Stuart, from before just happened to come back at that moment. He gave a flattering smile and asked, “Mr. President, why have you come down here?” As he spoke, he noticed that Philip was still here but was not aware of the current atmosphere. His face went red, and he frowned. “Why are you still here? Didn’t I tell you that our company doesn’t allow delivery men in here? Get out!”

Soon after he spoke, he felt a pair of cold eyes staring straight at him.

Oh dear, idiots were everywhere, but they were especially abundant today.

“Shut up!” George exploded furiously and roared, “He is the young master of our company! Both of you are fired!”

Philip shook his head, helplessly. “What a sin it is to be such a snob.”

“Young Master, this way please.” George bowed slightly and gestured him to go inside.

This scene startled both the manager and the receptionist. Young Master? Was he really the young master?

Seeing as Philip was about to leave with the chairman, Stuart immediately rushed over to smile apologetically and begged, “Young Master, I was too blind to recognize you for who you were. Please forgive me this time.”

Stuart could see how the chairman was so respectful to the young man. Apex Group was ranked seventh in the Fortune Global 500, and the chairman himself was a prominent figure worth over billions! If a big shot like him said that this young man was the young master, then he was the young master!

Lily, too, had rushed over with a docile expression as she apologized, “Young Master, I was wrong. I won’t ever do it again.”

Philip only glanced at George indifferently. The latter instantly pointed at the security team and ordered, “What are you standing there for? Throw these two out! From today on, don’t let them take even one step into our premise!”

“Young Master, Young Master, we were wrong, please forgive us…” Stuart and Lily both ended up being tossed out of the building by security.

Upon reaching the president’s office, Philip sat down at the leather sofa while George stood respectfully at one side with his hands in front of him.

“Old George, you’re living a pretty luxurious life. This ostrich skin sofa, what great taste!” Philip patted the sofa he was sitting on and exclaimed.

George wore a humble expression as he answered, still standing, “Young Master, stop joking with this old man. If you would sign your name in this document, everything here is yours to take.” As soon as he said that, the tall secretary with delicate skin, dressed in black formal attire behind him, handed Philip a set of documents.

Philip glanced at it in disdain. “It’s not like you don’t know that I refuse to inherit my dad’s wealth. I’m here today to ask you to loan me a hundred thousand dollars.”

George smiled tactfully and said, “I refuse.”

“Say that again, old man!” Philip stood up, abruptly out of anger.

George repeated. “I refuse.”

The older man then continued with a bright smile on his wrinkled face as he tempted, “Young Master, as long as you sign this, forget a hundred thousand, even a hundred million or billions are all yours.”

“Forget it then! If I sign this document, my name isn’t Philip Clarke!” Philip raged.

Five minutes later.

“Congratulations, Young Master, you have officially inherited all Clarke family’s wealth and businesses. Here is your hundred thousand.”

How delightful!

George stared at the signed document with his face blooming like a chrysanthemum flower.

At the same time, the secretary beside him brought over a briefcase and opened it. It was a hundred thousand in cash!

“George, old man, you’re too lavish. This briefcase looks like it’s carrying a hundred million instead,” said Philip as he picked up a plastic bag lying beside and put the money in. “I’ll be taking my leave now.”

“Take care, Young Master. Do you need me to get a car ready for you?” George asked respectfully.

“That’s okay, I came on my scooter,” answered Philip, and he walked out of the office with the plastic bag in hand.

After Philip had left, George immediately brought the documents up to the conference room on the top floor and started a video conference.

“Master, the young master has finally signed.” Old George stood in front of the large screen, bowing slightly as he reported with much enthusiasm and respect.

The screen showed an old man in a wheelchair. The old man coughed for a bit before slowly lifting a hand and said in a weak voice, “Then… pass on the message…”

“Yes, Master,” answered George, wiping his tears as he looked at the old man on the screen.

In an instant, the top management of all the businesses under the Clarke family received an email informing them that the sole heir of the Clarke family, Philip Clarke, had officially inherited the family business! These businesses include properties, development, entertainment, production, finance, investment, information technology, and etcetera…

Philip returned to the hospital and rushed over to the ward just in time to see Wynn and Juan leaning close to each other as they chattered happily.

Philip frowned as he balled his hands into fists.

“Philip Clarke, where have you been?” Upon seeing him, Wynn asked coldly. To think this man still had the heart to run around, ignoring his daughter. Wynn’s gaze held disappointment as she looked at Philip.

Juan, who was sitting beside him, snorted in laughter. “Philip, were you away trying to borrow money? It’s okay; I can foot the medical bills. I’m Mila’s uncle, after all.”

“I don’t need you to worry about my daughter’s medical expenses; I can pay up.” Philip walked in with an icy expression.

“Philip Clarke, how can you behave this way toward Brother Juan! Apologize to him!” Wynn started scolding him, thinking that she knew her husband well enough to know that he was disrespectful on purpose. Brother Juan was kind enough to help them foot the bill, but this man was sour to him. How rude!

Juan feigned kindness and urged Wynn, saying, “Wynnie, don’t get angry. Philip must be feeling upset because he didn’t manage to borrow any money.”

Wynn shot Philip a furious glare as she looked down on him even more.

Philip tried to hold his rage back as he stared at both of them with clenched fists. He wanted so much to throw a punch at Juan’s face. Wynnie? He’s calling her by her pet name so affectionately! Jesus, Wynn Johnston, I’m your husband here. Have you no shame?

    “It’s just money. Who said I didn’t manage to borrow any?” Philip glared viciously at Juan. Juan was dumbstruck as his expression froze. When the surprise was still evident in his eyes, Philip tossed the plastic bag in his hand in front of him and Wynn. The bag fell with a loud thud and rolls of cash appeared before their eyes. The corner of Juan’s eye twitched slightly as his lips trembled. His hands had subconsciously balled into fists. Wynn was surprised. She stared at the money Philip had tossed in front of them, confused, but then her expression immediately turned cold as anger surfaced in her eyes. Where did Philip get all this money? If he had this, why didn’t he take it out earlier? I even had to keep another man company by chatting happily with him! Doesn’t he know how tiring it is? “Here’s a hundred thousand. I’m paying you back all at once, including the past loans! Don’t ever come here again,” said Philip coldly. Juan did not take the money. To be frank, this

    Wilson was now boiling with anger! That madman blocked the new boss’ Bentley! Was he looking for trouble? “Philip Clarke, what are you still standing there for? Get out of the way!” Wilson pointed at Philip and barked at him. Philip had only just parked his scooter when he received another round of scolding from Wilson. “Oh no! Philip’s done for this time. Brother Wil’s going to have a fit.” “Ten complaint calls, and this crazy guy still has the guts to come back!” “This will cost at least two hundred in deductions, that’s a day’s work!” A few staff were gossiping quietly, and some others were enjoying the show. Among them were some old staff who used to work for Philip. When they saw the man reduced to the point of having to become a delivery man just like them, they started becoming more mean toward him. Philip was already used to it. Just then, Mr. Tanks glanced at Philip coldly. He looked annoyed and asked, “Manager Young, is this your staff?” Wilson quickly answere

    “Why are you here?” Wynn frowned and glanced at the Bentley beside Philip. Did he just come out from that car? Is this my wretched husband? Or do delivery companies now deliver meals in Bentleys? “I… I uh…” Philip stammered then swept a look at George who was smiling like a flower through the window. The old man quickly put out a hand and said, “Young man, thank you. It’s thanks to you that I finally found this place. Let this old man treat you to a meal next time to show my gratitude.” Philip smiled and nodded politely. “That’s okay, sir. Please take care on your way back.” The tone of his voice hinted to the elderly man to leave quickly. George did not say anything but smiled and nodded at Wynn before asking the driver to move away. Wynn froze in shock! Wasn’t… wasn’t that the chairman of Apex Group, President Thomas?! The wealthiest man in the city! And Philip was just in the same car with him! “Do you know George Thomas?” Wynn looked back at Philip, surprised. Philip

    Philip casually made a call to George Thomas. “George, help me check for the latest projects that Wynn Johnston is handling within Beacon Pharmaceutical. Is there a million-dollar order? Let me know who is the client and the person in charge.” From the other end came George’s respectful voice, saying, “Young Master, Beacon Pharmaceutical is one of the companies that the Clarke family invests in. I’ll get President Hall of Beacon to visit you personally.” Huh? Beacon Pharmaceutical is actually one of the companies our family invests in? My dad is too awesome! Philip suddenly regretted not inheriting the family business earlier. “No need to. Investigate quickly and have the client smoothen the whole process so that they won’t give Wynn a hard time,” said Philip calmly. “Young Master, I recommend you to just buy over that client’s company. You don’t lack the money,” George suggested. What the f*ck! Buy over? As expected of a butler from a wealthy family. Oh George, old man, do

    The Bentley soon arrived at Riverdale Virtuous Court. This was a famous restaurant in the city where only the wealthy and prestigious could dine. Virtuous Court also required a membership reservation where the minimum requirement was to spend at least one million to keep the membership. At that moment, standing at the entrance of Virtuous Court was a well-known entrepreneur. The chairman of Civil Trading Group, Russell Field. The company specialized in import and export business, mainly dealing with artistic pieces. As the company chairman, Russell himself was a wealthy man worth three billion! He was also a nationally famous collector! A well-known figure within the local collector’s community. Russell had brought more than ten personnel from his highest management to wait respectfully at the entrance of Virtuous Court with him. This scene caused quite a shock to the patrons dining at the restaurant. There were even bursts of exclamation. “Isn’t that the chairman of Civil Tradin

    This voice was unpleasant. Philip lifted his head and saw a fat man with a protruding beer belly staring at him with a mocking expression. What does it have anything to do with you, whether or not I’m a kept man? Do I even know you? Philip pouted, planning to ignore him, turned to leave. The fatso, however, did not plan to let him off so quickly. He went over to block Philip’s way and ridiculed him indirectly. “Ignoring people now? Great personality! I heard that your business failed, and now our Deputy Manager Johnston is the one paying for your living expenses. A grown man like you has some nerve to become a kept man.” Philip frowned, looking extremely displeased. He recognized this man, Gavin Zach, the marketing manager at Wynn’s company. The man had tried to harass Wynn, and Philip had taught him a lesson. And now that he saw Philip in a low place, the man started to mock him unscrupulously. Wynn’s other colleagues were now looking at Philip with a weird look in their eyes.

    At the front desk, Rose was waving the card as she swept an arrogant glance at Philip before saying, “Help me check if this card can reserve us a private room.” Everyone was holding their breaths, waiting to watch Philip make a fool of himself. The girl at the front desk received the card, swiped it, and all of a sudden, her expression looked nervous. She asked, “Miss, is this your card?” When Rose saw this, she shook her head. Extending her hand with red painted nails, she pointed to Philip, who was being surrounded and laughed tauntingly. “It’s not mine. It’s his.” Haha! What a joke! Philip is going to make a fool of himself, and Wynn would lose all face along with him! This is too great. There’s actually a man who would publicly ridicule himself. Rose was dying of happiness. She glanced happily over at Wynn who was looking sullen and mocked, “Deputy Manager Johnston, your husband sure is an excellent man.” Wynn was extremely embarrassed. She shot a vicious glare at Philip,

    Philip glanced over calmly and expressionlessly. Kyle was looking at Philip, clearly displeased. This guy seemed so normal, how could he be so calm? Interesting! “Bro, can you pay the three hundred thousand?” Kyle was not a gangster who would just start getting physical for no apparent reason. Three hundred thousand was a humongous sum for a normal person. Kyle felt that a man like Philip could never afford this amount, but he still had to ask. Diplomacy before violence. “I’m sorry, but he ran a red light and should take full responsibility. What’s more, we didn’t really hit each other,” said Philip calmly. Jacob pointed at Philip and roared furiously, “Does that mean you won’t pay up?” Philip stared quietly at him, not answering. Kyle frowned slightly, shifting his gaze to the wrecked Harley on the ground and said, “Bro, three thousand won’t cost much. Just a leg.” This was a threat. Philip’s gaze went cold as a glint appeared in his eyes. As the heir to an elite famil

    “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

    Philip was not interested in prying into their clan affairs. He simply exchanged some pleasantries before turning to the main topic without wasting more time. “I heard that elf water plays an important role in purifying someone’s body and changing one’s foundation. As you know, humans are not gods, so it’s difficult for us to live here. I want to see if the elf water can change our genes.” Akash seemed conflicted when he heard that they were indeed humans. He was skeptical about Philip's identity as a human being before this because he could not believe that humans could escape from that place. Hence, he was a little shocked by Philip’s admittance. “How did you humans escape from that place?” Akash was very curious to find out how they left safely. “We didn't escape from that prison. We came to this world through breaking the space barrier, so we’re fundamentally different from the humans you know.” Akash was dumbfounded to hear Philip’s background. The fact that they could

    Philip had valuable things that he could exchange with the other party. It would be great if they could agree on the business deal. Abele not only accused them but also slandered them in every way. It was so infuriating that anyone would want to get back at her. “Haha, the humans have a point. You must be up to no good. Do you think I’m not aware?” Akash glared at Abele with a murderous intent, ready to deal with her. “The elves want nothing more to do with you. From now on, I hereby announce that you can no longer call yourself elves. If we find you doing it again, we’ll show you no mercy.” Akash glared at them vehemently. Philip nodded calmly, but he was surprised by this development too. “Now that things have been sorted out, let’s have a chat. I’m really interested in your elf water and would like to find out more about it.” Philip invited Akash for a chat. He knew Akash was in charge of the elves, so it was best to speak to him. Akash nodded. He was very interested in

    However, this was a secret among the elves, and not many people knew about it. They would never spread the news for no reason either. Philip simply stared at Akash eagerly without a word. He could tell that Akash was quite powerful and not on the other party’s side. Aslan looked at the ugly elf queen in disdain. “You look so ugly. Are you their subordinate? I’ve always heard that elves are noble creatures, beautiful and powerful, but everything seems different from what I thought,” Lyle added fuel to the fire. They knew that Philip was trying to provoke the other party, so they wanted to play a part too. Akash did not seem as upset as earlier. For some reason, Akash felt that Philip was not a bad person the moment he saw him, and there might be a chance for cooperation between them. With that impression, he remained silent and simply stared at Philip, waiting to see what he was up to. Akash disliked Abele very much. Be it how Abele started the war back then or ruined th

    The truth was that the ugly elf injured himself. The warrior was injured during a scuffle over personal property and had nothing to do with the humans at all. Their objective was to frame Philip. The bigger the issue, the better. Akash scowled when he saw the warrior’s injuries. The other party had to be very vicious to beat this warrior nearly to death. They were definitely up to no good. “They've been inside for quite some time, so I think they’ll come out soon. We don't know where our true god is for the time being, so we can only place our hopes on you.” The elf queen shamelessly shifted the responsibility on Akash as if this incident had nothing to do with her. Akash's expression changed slightly, but he had heard that the other party's true god had gone to a mysterious place to practice, so he would not come to their rescue. Although unhappy, he could not do anything to these shameless guys. At this time, Aslan kicked away the stone that blocked their way and walked o

    The elves’ true god went missing ages ago, and no one knew where he went. They had no idea where to find their so-called true god, so they were left alone and helpless. The reinforcements they sought were another clan of elves. They were not the only elves around; there were other clans too. Different clans usually lived separately. They would only join forces again in the face of danger. No one knew that the so-called elf water came from the other clan. The ugly elves had no right to own the elf water. However, the other clan never made it known to the public and gradually reduced everyone’s impression of the elves, leaving only the ugly creatures known to the world. The other clan kept a low profile and did not want to reveal their identities at all. They just wanted to live their lives in peace and quiet. “My queen, I've brought them here.
