Gentleman Tea Shop.Philip arrived early. He waited for about 20 minutes before a stylish woman walked in through the door.When Chloe saw Philip, her heart started racing. However, she forced herself to remain calm. She sashayed into the shop and approached Philip slowly. She sat down quietly and removed her sunglasses. Then, she looked at him calmly.“Have you waited long?” Chloe asked. Her voice was calm.“Not too long,” Philip replied. He looked at Chloe and saw that she was still as refined as ever.Even though Chloe looked calm on the surface, her heart was beating extremely fast. Her delicate hands under the table were grasping on her skirt tightly.She had not sat in front of Philip like this for a very long time.He was still so charming. An air of arrogance was coursing through his body.Other people could not detect this air around him, but Chloe could.They used to be the golden couple that everyone was jealous of. However, that was old news.“Tell me, how will yo
Wynn was shocked. She asked curiously, “You know?”Philip chuckled and said, “Yeah, I did it. I bought your company. You’re the chairwoman now, are you happy?”When Wynn heard this, she was taken aback. Then, she lifted her perfectly plucked eyebrows and said in a flirty tone, “Alright, thank you.”Wynn knew Philip liked to joke around. Her company was in a crisis and they needed 600 million in funds. How could Philip have helped her willy-nilly?“Never mind, I’m going back to work now. Did you visit Mila today?” Wynn asked.“Yeah, I’m on my way,” replied Philip. He was already in the hospital.He knew Wynn did not believe him.Whatever, then. He had more time to explain to her next time.Wynn grunted a reply and hung up after saying something.She sat in the chairperson’s office. She thought for a long while, but she still could not make sense of this.Was it really Philip?At this moment, she got a phone call from Joel. He said with a warm smile, “Wynnie, how’s your compan
’Is that Wynn Johnston? The previous beauty queen of the school has become such a golddigger.’‘Hehe, she has the appearance of an angel but a filthy heart. You’re calling her a beauty queen? How disgusting!’‘Yeah, women like Wynn will only lie to you all. She did a lot of disgusting things when she was in school. She loved stealing her best friend’s boyfriend. I think she has her eyes on a rich man now.’‘Poor Philip. Not only is he a spineless coward, but he’s being cuckolded now.’The mood of the group chat changed instantly. They were starting to criticize and denounce Wynn. They dug out all kinds of dark history and rumors about her.They were all made up by the women who were jealous of Wynn.At the same time, Philip gave Wynn a call. “Where are you?”Wynn and Joel had just arrived at Lover's Themed Restaurant. She purposely lowered her voice and said, “I’m in the office. I’m a bit busy. I’ll tell you everything when I get home.”After she said this, Wynn hung up the pho
When Joel saw that Philip was being stopped by the servers, he felt extremely pleased with himself.He was still a useless bum at the end of the day. Joel did not need to take action against him. Philip was not worth it.Alright, then. He would just let Wynn see how much of a worthless bum her husband was.The fat manager smiled flatteringly and said, “Mr. Harris, I’m sorry. I’ll kick this smelly beggar out now. I won’t disturb your meal.”After he said that, the fat manager shouted to the servers, “Why are you still standing here? Throw him out! If he dares to step foot inside, cripple him before throwing him out again. I’ll take responsibility if anything happens!”Joel looked at Philip who had been captured by the servers. He walked in front of him and scoffed. “Philip, do you know the difference between you and me now? I’m warning you to leave Wynn immediately. If not, I have a lot of ways to screw with you.”“Throw him out!”The fat manager knew his place. After Joel finish
Oh no!This entire street belonged to Tiger and that included this restaurant. Theo Zander’s properties were behind this shop as well.The fat manager was beyond terrified. In a blink of an eye, he turned into a turtle. He cowered in fear and stopped what he was doing.Theo scowled at the fat manager and yelled, “Get the f*ck over here!”The fat manager was trembling all over. He walked over to him.Slap, slap, slap!He slapped him four times continuously on the left and right sides of his cheeks. The fat manager started bleeding inside his mouth, and three of his teeth fell out!“You’re trying to throw Mr. Clarke out?”Tiger shouted and asked.“T-Tiger, no, it’s him… He’s disturbing the customers in the shop.”The fat manager looked at Philip and was puzzled. This man knew Tiger? What was going on?Plus, Tiger looked furious!“Shut up! Kneel!”Tiger flipped out and roared.Thud!The fat manager could not stand the fierce aura Tiger was radiating. He knelt almost immedia
After Wynn vomited in the restroom and washed her face, she walked out while feeling terrible. She forced out a smile and said, “It’s fine. I think the food I had for lunch is making me nauseous.”Philip nodded and grunted in acknowledgment. Then, he went into the room with her. Today, Mila was happy because her mommy and daddy were both here.Wynn was with Mila as she talked about her work with Philip. “Let’s treat Joel a meal to thank him someday.”“Why?” Philip asked in confusion.“He was the one who asked someone for help. He told me about it. Plus, there will be other pharmaceutical companies coming to work with us,” Wynn said. Even though she was reluctant, she did not have a choice. After all, he did help her.When Philip heard that, his face fell.Joel helped her?This idiot would really claim any credit he could. What did this have to do with him?“Do you really think he’s the one who helped you?” Philip asked.Wynn was taken aback. She said, “Who else could it be i
Martha could not believe her ears. Her face was glowing with excitement as she asked hurriedly, “What chairwoman? Wynnie, are you joking? Your company costs a few hundred million!”Wynn nodded and told them about what happened in the office. After she said that, Charles fell silent. Then, he said, “I understand now. Your company was met with a crisis, so they appointed you as the chairwoman. Even though 60% of the stock rights is very high, it means nothing. You have to think about this clearly. A lot of my friends told me that if anything happens to the company, you have to be responsible for it.”Wynn nodded and said, “I know, but it’s still an opportunity. If the company can get through this successfully, I’ll be the biggest shareholder. I’ll also have some solid power. I want to continue doing this,” Wynn said and looked at Philip. It was obvious she was asking for his opinion.Philip did not say anything. He was still mad about what happened in the morning.Martha did not care
“Madam Johnston, the chairman from Shine Pharmaceutical is here. He said he wants to talk to us about the collaboration.”Coincidentally, Mindy knocked on the door and entered the chairperson’s office. She walked in with a stack of documents in her hands. She was beaming.The company had been talking with the top pharmaceutical companies in the country for the past two days.Wynn was so amazing!She had such huge connections!Wynn did not hear what Chloe said, so she replied, “I’m sorry, Miss Sommerset. I have something to take care of. However, if you want to look for me, I’ll entertain you anytime.”Wynn hung up the phone with a cold expression on her face.Over here, Chloe was seething. How dare that b*tch hang up on her!No, she had to teach her a lesson.If not, she would not know the difference between them.Wynn pondered for a while and tidied herself up. Then, she followed Mindy into the meeting room.In the afternoon, Philip was feeling bored in the hospital. Soon a
With food and drinks and people willing to serve him unconditionally, Tom led a good life. Tom had always been the servant, not the other way around. He was quickly lost in this pleasure. While Tom was basking in happiness, a group of merfolk arrived quietly. They sneaked up to the shore and came to this small fishing village. “If I'm not mistaken, Tom should be inside. Let's go and catch him!” Everyone rushed forward with their teeth and claws bared. Although they did not know Tom’s exact location, it was no big deal. They just had to kill everyone and Tom would appear eventually. The merfolk quickly rushed into the houses and killed all the sleeping fishermen. Tom jolted awake when he sensed that disgusting presence. Tom saw the little girl lying on the side. She fell asleep while taking care of him. “Little girl, wake up!” Tom urged the little girl and pushed her awake. The little girl rubbed her eyes sleepily and looked at Tom curiously. “Mighty God, do you
“That’s my lady’s call. I heard my lady’s call!” Tom looked around in a panic, trying to find the source of the voice. However, he could not hear the sound clearly. Due to his injuries, he could not contact his lady through normal means. Although he could sense the lady's signal, it was a fool’s errand to find her. “Do you have anything that can help me restore energy? Such as energy stones or something similar. Hurry up and find some for me. After I recover, I won’t forget your reward!” Tom said condescendingly. He could only rely on empty promises to quickly restore his strength. The fishermen went through their belongings to help the god. The little girl who took care of Tom timidly took out some energy stones from the cabinet. It was her dowry prepared by the family. Fishermen were not rich so they had to prepare dowry in advance. These energy stones were the only savings in the little girl's family. “Mighty God, see if this thing can help you. Feel free to us
“Why am I here? Where is my lady?” Although his superficial injuries had recovered, his various internal injuries would take some time. However, he could deal with these unarmed ordinary fishermen easily with his strength. At this time, a delicate little girl walked in with some food and was very excited to see him awake. “Mom, Dad, the person we rescued is awake. Come and see him!” The little girl put down the tray excitedly and ran out, telling everyone the good news. Hearing that, everyone rushed over excitedly to see the mysterious man. The man was very burly, with muscles and glittering scales all over his body. The fishermen had never seen such a person so they worshiped him as a god. “Young man, are you a god? Only gods have a body like yours!” “Why did you pass out outside? It’s not safe out there. You have to be careful!” Everyone expressed concern over his well-being and handed him some clothes that they made in a hurry for him. Tom frowned unhappily a
Seeing Rabbit’s confidence, however, Philip said nothing. Meanwhile, Marina was resting in the room. Since she had reached an agreement with Philip, Marina recuperated in the room without finding fault with others. Philip knew that Marina was seriously injured but he would not help her without anything in return. After all, he did not form a soul contract with Marina, and she was a force to be reckoned with. Who knew if she would do something to him once she recovered? At this moment, Marina was planning her next move in the room. “That guy named Philip is more than meets the eye. I can't take any advantage of him.” Marina frowned unhappily as she pondered. As a mermaid princess, Marina had always enjoyed noble treatment, and no one dared to do anything to her. However, Philip was quite interesting. Not only could he read her thoughts but also control her emotions, which was terrifying. So, although Marina was curious about Philip, she was more wary of him. “It’d be
“I haven't forgotten my promise. Once we reach the world of the gods, I’ll fulfill my promise to you and make you a queen in no time.” The old man smiled and stroked his beard, which looked quite obnoxious because he had very little beard left. “You can take my word for it. You’ll have a bright future as long as you follow Upper God Quinn!” The other party painted a pretty picture for Sienna as if he had a good grasp of her thoughts. At this time, Mason walked out of the room to ask Sienna about the pills. Unexpectedly, he overheard this conversation. He was surprised and could not believe his ears. “My queen, is this old man an almighty god from another world?” Mason did not hide his presence because he knew Sienna would discover him. In that case, it was better to step forward and maybe Sienna would involve him in her secrets. Sienna was so immersed in her own world that she did not notice Mason's arrival. Sienna was startled by Mason’s sudden interruption. “W
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
