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
Philip did not intend to kill Tom. On the contrary, he wanted Tom to live well so that he could suffer in pain all the time. Philip smacked Tom's body several times. Tom felt something was wrong the moment it happened. He looked distorted as if he was controlled by someone. His body was also twisting in weird angles. “I’ve destroyed your practice. You can never regain your power even if the demons help you. What do you think of this reward?” Philip sneered at Tom’s twisted posture. Philip severed all of Tom’s veins and imprisoned him in the swamp so that he could suffer the erosion of the swamp day and night. He wanted Tom to watch over Marina's remains forever. “I don’t have any grudge against the merfolk. I promised to help you back then, but you were stupid enough to believe the words of a treacherous villain to the point of killing your holy maiden. This is really sad and ridiculous.” The merfolk had suffered a tragic end, which was pitiful, so Philip did not want to dwel
“Chief, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and finish the ritual. Don’t let that guy get his way. We have to get back at him for his disrespect.” After saying this, Tom charged at Marina. He knew that he needed Marina’s blood to have a fresh start. At this time, Moray took out the merfolk's pearl. They hid the pearl very well and finally found it in the warehouse. Marina smiled in despair at the sight of the pearl. She obviously did not expect things to go so out of control. “Philip, I’m sorry to have wronged you earlier. It seems that you’re the only good person around. Everyone else has an ulterior motive and is always thinking about using me. In that case, I’ll do the last thing I can do to seek your forgiveness.” After saying this, Marina rushed to the pearl in Moray’s hand with sorrow in her eyes. Philip had a bad premonition and had a guess about what Marina was about to do. “Stop her!” Philip waved his hand, and everyone rushed over. Some people pinned Moray down
Although Tom had been tortured beyond recognition, he was still rational and yelled out his plan. Moray was hesitant. He knew what Tom was referring to. The merfolk had a powerful secret technique to create an immortal body by merging the blood of the holy maiden with a powerful warrior of the family. Tom was in such a bad condition that he would be dead if they did not save him now. However, once Marina and Tom’s blood were merged, it meant that they would have to be together and never be separated again. Marina shook her head in rejection. Not to mention the damage it would cause her, but she did not want to share the rest of her life with Tom. No one could live an eternal life with someone they did not love. However, Moray had gone crazy. He was bewitched by Tom and only had victory in his eyes. Although Tom was in a bad state, Moray believed that Tom could turn the tables with a little help. With that thought in mind, Moray grabbed Marina and pushed her to Tom reluctant
“Very well. I approve of this marriage. After you defeat Philip and return in victory, we’ll proceed with your wedding.” Hearing that, Tom sneered inwardly. He was an ambitious man. He was unwilling to let Moray control him. He planned to get the merfolk's treasure now. As long as he got the pearls from the merfolk and fish creatures, he could dominate the world with the treasures that could store energy, and everyone would have to bow down to him. He could force Marina to provide her blood and activate the pearl.When Marina was in despair, the mud that trapped Philip suddenly moved. Everyone was astounded by this scene. No one thought that Philip could survive. He was very strong, indeed. Before Tom could attack again, the swamp exploded. Tom was shocked. He had a bad feeling that everything would progress differently. Thinking of this, he kept attacking Philip with every means he had. However, it was futile. Philip easily broke through Tom’s defense and attacked him.
Now that they had started fighting, it seemed that things would not end well. Moby had no idea whether he should root for Philip or not. “Philip, don’t give up!” After much deliberation, Moby finally decided to cheer for Philip. He stood a better chance to survive once Philip won. He would pay with his life if anything happened to Philip. Besides, he had just decided to join Philip when Philip generously rewarded him with some precious elf water, which proved that this was a boss worth following. He might get more benefits by sticking with Philip, so he did not want anything to happen to Philip. Meanwhile, Philip was stuck in the swamp. He was just about to break free from the swamp when he felt something strange. The swamp did not hurt him but strengthened his body instead, making his skin unusual. Philip already had a divine body, and combined with all the powerful pills and various herbs he had consumed before, his body was far beyond anyone’s imagination. It turned out
“You want the merfolk's pearl, but the fish creatures haven't given it to me yet. I don’t have it right now. Even if you defeat me, what’s the point? The fish creatures can run with it while you’re distracted. It’ll be a waste of time for you to fight me,” Philip said. He was really worried about Tom’s IQ. He could understand if he attacked Moby instead. “The thing is in Moby’s hand, but you want to attack me instead of dealing with him. Is it because you can't get the woman of your dreams?” Philip had a sharp tongue, and Tom trembled at his words. Philip dared to humiliate him like this. However, Philip had a point. He should deal with Moby instead. He was just annoyed that his beloved Marina liked Philip. Tom was infuriated by Philip’s words and attacked him. He had to kill Philip at all costs and show Marina the scene of Philip's defeat. The two were quickly engaged in a fight, and Tom moved fluidly in this disgusting swamp. Philip maintained a superior position and foug
“This is an agreement between me and Chief Moray. It’s not up to you.” After saying this, Tom took out a sharp dagger from his pocket. Philip thought Tom was going to attack him, but Tom used the dagger to cut himself instead, leaving everyone wondering what he was doing. After injuring himself, he took out a bottle of potion and poured it on the wound, which healed in a few seconds. Philip was surprised by the rapid recovery. The potion had to be a treasure. At this time, everyone realized that Tom's strength was increasing rapidly to the point of being daunting. Aslan stepped back cautiously, surprised by this unexpected turn. He had always been a fearless person, but he felt a sense of oppression from this weak person. It proved that the potion was powerful enough to pose a threat to him. Thinking of this, Aslan scowled and reached out for Philip, hoping that Philip could take care of it. After all, he and Lyle were equally strong. If he could not deal with Tom, Lyle
“Tom, if you can take care of this matter, I’ll give you Marina’s hand in marriage. I’m sure the two of you can work together to lead the merfolk to glory.” Everyone was shocked, including Tom, who was in disbelief. No one expected that Moray would ask Tom to marry Marina. Even the fish creatures were shocked. Although they were enemies, they knew that Marina was the merfolk's holy maiden. Tom had been protecting the holy maiden over the years, so he was a servant without a doubt. It was ironic to hear that a servant was worthy enough to marry the holy maiden. Marina was shocked and subconsciously glanced at Philip, who was indifferent about it. After all, it was the merfolk's affairs, nothing to do with him. Philip would not bother even if Marina had to marry an old man. “However, you must prove your ability before you can marry my daughter. If you get the item, I’ll hand her to you.” Moray had been seriously injured before this and could no longer fight normally. The merf
Philip took out a small bottle of elf water from his pocket and handed it to Moby. He wanted to see what the ugly creature would look like after taking the precious elf water. Moby was shocked to see Philip handing him some elf water and felt unworthy of it. At Philip’s insistence, he walked over and respectfully took the small bottle of elf water from Philip. He took a sip cautiously and wanted to marvel at its wonderful taste. Philip felt exasperated at Moby’s caution. Moby probably had no idea how Lyle and the others treated the water. They not only used it to bathe but also drank it casually like normal drinking water. Marina and the others watched with envy. They knew how precious the elf water was, so they were shocked by Philip’s generosity in giving it to the humble fish creatures. Even the merfolk found it difficult to get some elf water, but these lowly creatures got it. No one would be happy at this scene. Philip glanced at everyone. The other fish creatures st
