Philip threw Martha’s hand aside and said coldly, “You’re indeed the one at fault this time. Anne is the nurse I hired, and you hit her for no reason. There’s no question that you have to take responsibility! It’s fine if you don’t want to. You can leave now. I’ll call the cops and let them handle this.”When Martha heard Philip say that he would call the cops, she was terrified.“You… You’re going to be the end of me! You spineless coward, how dare you threaten me!”Martha pointed at Philip angrily. She thought that a useless bum like him would not dare do anything. She had not expected him to be so unyielding.If he called the cops, she would be at a loss too.Apologize?Impossible!Martha started to throw a tantrum as she screeched unreasonably, “Why should I apologize? Why don’t you ask her why she got hit? I’m going to kill that little b*tch!”“Tell me then.”Philip looked at Martha coldly. He was ready to listen to her made-up stories.“She… She disrespected me in the h
Slap!The sound of a slap reverberated across the entire corridor!Philip swung his hand down and forcefully slapped Martha across the face!The mistreatment and grievance he had endured throughout the past three years were all compressed into this one slap. It was enough to send Martha flying to the floor!“Ah!”Martha shrieked loudly as she clutched her face. She looked at Philip in disbelief and yelled in anger, “Y-Y-You! How dare you slap me? Philip Clarke, you’re insane! How dare a piece of trash like you slap me! I am your mother-in-law!”Martha was going to explode from anger!How dare a spineless good-for-nothing hit her?He was rebelling against her!Did Philip want to die?Did he want to get out of her family?Martha was gritting her teeth in anger. Additionally, her face was in excruciating pain after being slapped. Martha got up from the floor and pointed at Philip before she started yelling and shoving him furiously, “Philip! I want my daughter to divorce you! I
No, she could not allow it. Anne knew Mr. Philip was not from a wealthy family.Additionally, from what she had observed that day, he did not have a high status in his family.She could not accept the money.Nevertheless, Philip stopped her. He chuckled and said, “Why are you being so courteous with me? If you don’t accept the money, I’ll fire you.”Fire her?Anne was shocked. She could not lose her job. Pressing her lips together, Anne bit them and bowed as she thanked Philip repeatedly, “Thank you, Mr. Philip.”Philip did not say anything.In the evening, Philip went out looking for Anne and found her in the garden on a phone call. The latter was crying.“What’s wrong, Anne?” Philip walked over to her and asked in concern.Anne hung up the phone and wiped away her tears. She said, “I’m fine.”Philip knew that the young woman was very stubborn. After all, she refused to tell him anything. Hence, Philip sat down and glanced at her phone. On her lock screen, he saw a cute, lit
Martha was roughly being pushed into a cafe.She was enraged. She pointed at the mountainous men in black at the entrance and yelled, “Who are you people? Let me out now! If not, I’ll call the cops! This is kidnapping, and it’s illegal!”Martha felt extremely guilty, and her hands were shaking uncontrollably. Nevertheless, she knew she could not show any signs of weakness. She had to be strong.On the other hand, the two men in black who were blocking the door pretended to not hear her as they stood still in silence.They did not budge no matter how much Martha pushed them.Martha began to panic. She did not know where she was nor who they were. Where was she?At this moment, a graceful and sumptuous woman walked into the cafe. There were seven to eight bodyguards behind her. One could instantly tell that she was someone powerful after seeing this.Additionally, her presence caused the temperature of the cafe to fall by a few degrees. It became terrifyingly cold.Martha felt as
When Charles returned and saw Martha, he was horrified. “Honey, what happened? Who beat you up?”Charles helped Martha into the house. He was heartbroken after seeing the state she was in.Thus, Charles immediately busied himself with fetching Martha ice packs and rolling hard-boiled eggs on her bruises.Martha was fuming as she sat on the sofa. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.She did not even know any Giada Wallis. Why had the latter beaten her up?“What happened? Who made your face like this?”Charles was heartbroken. After all, this was the wife he had shared the same bed with for the past 20 years.“Who else? It was your wonderful son-in-law, Philip! Why? Do you dare call him here and teach him a lesson?”Martha was seething. She was now talking without thinking. At the end of the day, she despised Philip after what had happened. When Charles heard that, he exploded from anger. He had changed his outlook on Philip. However, he was not expecting that
Martha’s face fell. She pointed at Philip and yelled, “Look! This is how he apologizes! If he doesn’t kneel today, I will never accept his apology!”Martha sat on the sofa coldly, turning a deaf ear to everything. Evidently, her attitude was horrible.She had thought it through anyway. She was planning on releasing all of her pent up anger on Philip that day.How dare that spineless coward slap her at the hospital?Charles was livid. He pointed at Philip and shouted, “Listen to your mother! Kneel and apologize! You’re such a rebel!”Wynn’s head was beginning to hurt. She had not expected Martha to be so unreasonable. “Mom, can you stop being so irrational? You know what happened. Do you want me to say it out loud?”When Martha heard that, she was terrified. Had Philip told Wynn everything?“What do you mean, Wynnie? Are you going to side with an outsider now? I’m your mother! How can you speak to me like that?”Martha did not care anymore as she continued being irrational and s
Wynn could no longer stand it. Hence, she grabbed Anne and asked, “Annie, tell me the truth, what happened in the hospital? Why did my mother hit you, and why did Philip hit my mother?”Anne lowered her head, and Martha glared at her deviously. Anne then saw Philip hinting at her with his eyes. Nevertheless, she could not hold it in anymore. Thus, she clenched her fists and pointed at Martha as she said, “It was her. She beat Mila. I couldn’t stand it so I went over and argued with her. Then, she started attacking me. Mr. Philip slapped her twice because he wanted to stand up for me.”Twice?Wynn was puzzled. She looked at the bruises on her mother’s face. Had they all been caused by two slaps?There had to be something more behind it.Nonetheless, Wynn did not care anymore. That was because Anne said that her mother had beaten Mila!It infuriated her. “Mom, why did you beat Mila? Isn’t Mila your granddaughter?”Wynn started to cry out of anger. Her mother had never liked Mila
“It’s up to you whether you want to tell me or not. You’re the one who was beaten up anyway. I’m fine if you’re fine with this.”Philip guessed that Martha’s temper was still manageable. Nevertheless, she was a mean woman who could bear suffer any ill-treatment.Martha pondered for a while before saying, “It was a woman who’s pretty good looking. She said her name was Giada Wallis. Can you avenge me in any way?”Martha had been miserable throughout the entire night. She did not even know Giada, but she did not dare be aggressive toward her.Her aura was too strong.Martha knew she could not offend her.Giada!When he heard her name, Philip was stunned. Immediately, his face was filled with dark clouds.Philip had warned her before not to do anything to the people around him, but she refused to listen.Was this a warning for him?“Philip, as long as you can avenge me, I won’t look into the matter of you hitting me anymore. Plus, I will treat you like my biological son, what do
In the end, Elio made the same promise. “I can give it to you, but you have to promise me that you’ll work with me. Our cooperation will begin once I hand it to you.” Elio was expectant, hoping that Philip would agree to it without hesitation. After all, he was the first person to approach Philip about cooperation. Philip nodded at Elio’s reaction. It was so easy to rip a treasure from someone's hands with just a few words. Although Philip thought Elio was a good person, he did not feel guilty at all. After all, they had no use for this thing. They might as well let him use it. Philip quickly reached an agreement with Elio, similar to the one he made with Tamworth. He wanted to see who could give him the best terms. The True God's Hammer was nothing more than scrap metal to these people, but it was almost a divine weapon to people with human genes. Philip became very interested in this so-called true god. He wanted to know the people who came up with this thing. After t
Elio frowned in deep contemplation. “What is this True God's Hammer? It should be quite valuable if he’s willing to use it as an exchange with me. If the price is good, I can consider this deal.” Although Elio looked like a simple and honest old man, Philip had to take his own interests as the standard. “The True God's Hammer is a legendary weapon. It was said that only people who have reached the level of a true god have the right to touch this weapon! “Owning the True God's Hammer is equivalent to gaining the power of judgment. The True God's Hammer can pull someone into a separate judgment site in the air, and no one can enter this site without permission. It’s very mysterious!” Philip was stunned by Elio's description of the True God’s Hammer. He had never dreamed that such a weapon would exist. The person who made this weapon was very creative, indeed. “Since it sounds so amazing, why don’t you want it for yourself instead of trading it? Isn’t that a bigger loss?” Phil
Sure enough, the man scowled as if surprised by that promise. “I can’t believe that the true god thinks so highly of him, even offering him the legendary treasure. In that case, I have to get this deal!" Philip was surprised to hear the other party's mumbling. The true god’s treasure was actually real. “Indeed, he’s the true god’s favorite subordinate, but you need to keep in mind that he might fall out of favor one day. “If he can get you the True God’s Hammer, I can promise you something else. As long as you work with me, I’ll find something that will satisfy you,” the man said earnestly as if he really believed it. Philip was quite interested in this so-called True God’s Hammer. “In that case, go ahead and get it for me. He hasn't agreed to give it to me, so I’ll work with the person who can fulfill their promise first. That should be fair enough. I’m simply doing this for money.” The other party was happy to hear that. Philip had spoken the words in his mind. “Not b
While Philip chatted with Elio, some people kept an eye on them. Not all the appraisers had good intentions. They knew that Elio would definitely find a way to contact the provider of the pills and weapons. They wanted to get a piece of the pie, so they paid attention to Elio's every move, trying to take the opportunity to reach out to Philip. By putting these things up for auction, the other party either did not know their value or did not care at all. Anyway, they wanted to talk to Philip and trick him into giving the things to them with money if possible. Philip and Elio were chatting happily when someone knocked on the door. A man pushed the door open in a panic. “Mr. Wind, the true god is looking for you urgently. He wants to see you right away.” The other party seemed anxious and reluctant to convey the news. Hearing that, Elio seemed conflicted. He was having a good chat with Philip and did not want to see the true god. As a person in his position, however, he coul
“Since you seem quite sincere about it, I don’t mind answering your question. “I made these pills and weapons myself. We're not beast men but soft-eared people because of our soft ears. We have an extraordinary talent for making pills and weapons because we have human genes.” Philip made up a story at random. He had no idea what species this world had. Since he had a pair of very soft ears, he called himself a soft-eared person. Elio was taken aback by the name and frowned in confusion, baffled by this situation. However, he quickly came to terms with it. No matter what race Philip belonged to, he finally knew some secrets. “Great, I’m surprised to hear that you made these things. In that case, let’s have a good chat about business. Maybe we can achieve long-term win-win cooperation.” Elio was very excited. Since the other party had been staying in the mountains over the years, they had to value wealth and money very much. It would be great if he could use money to get th
Another guest noticed Philip’s confusion and kindly explained, “It’s time for a break, or rather, time to prepare more money. Everything costs a lot of money here. Didn’t you see how many crystal stones that thing costs?” After hearing the other party's detailed explanation, Philip finally understood what was going on. The auction house was quite considerate. Worried that the guests would not have enough money to bid for the subsequent items, they chose to take a break. Philip felt a little annoyed. He thought he could quickly explore this world after the auction. This development was out of his expectations. Before Philip and the others could leave for a walk, an old man appeared in front of Philip, smiling brightly as if he wanted to have a good chat with Philip. “Young man, let’s have a chat. I know you put the pills up for sale. Don’t worry, I mean no harm. I just want to discuss a deal with you.” The other party's attitude was good, and he did not look like a bad guy.
No one thought highly of the stone but felt exasperated instead. “The function of the stone is nothing more than ripping off some money, just like everything else. I believe the lapdogs are looking forward to it.” Aslan only thought it was a complete waste of money and could not see anything special about it. Philip shook his head. He felt that this stone contained a special power. Moreover, Rabbit was fidgeting in his arms as if it wanted to get this thing. “No matter what, we have to buy that thing. We won’t make a loss either way.” Philip had many spirit mines, so buying it posed no problem. He could easily wipe the place clean if he wanted to. Besides, he had put some valuable things up for auction as a guarantee. He was sure he could get some good things in exchange. Philip quickly bought the stone. The audience was not interested in it, so Philip won it with one bid. At this time, an employee of the auction house took out Philip’s pills from the pile of auction it
Everyone examined Beck and found no problem. The result could not be faked. There was no way Beck was making things up about the pill. Besides, no one knew who provided the pill, so a cover-up was not possible. Therefore, the pill was genuine with no problem with it. The effects of Philip’s pills were the same as described, so they only tested one pill. They knew how precious these pills were. “Let the host promote these items. The highlight of our auction tonight will be the pills.” Beck immediately decided. With his experience and foresight, he knew the sensation this would cause. Everyone quietly waited for the auction to start. Suddenly, the beautiful auctioneer walked out and looked at everyone in disbelief. “I have good news for everyone. This time, we've received some very powerful weapons and medicines to heal our bodies, so we’ll be adding some items to the auction tonight.” Despite the announcement, they did not clearly state what they would add. They planned
Soon, the higher-ups at the auction house knew about the weapon, and everyone was very excited. Everyone wanted to take it for themselves. It would be great if they owned such a weapon. It was not only an honor to have the same weapon as the true god but also a symbol of status. Thinking of this, the higher-ups were eager to attend the auction. The appraisal had just begun, and the other items had not been appraised yet. “By the way, stop dwelling on that item and look at other things instead. What if he has other good things on hand? We would've discovered a hidden talent this time.” Elio calmly picked up Philip’s pill and studied it. “Isn’t this the favorite plaything of humans? I've heard it's called a pill, but I’ve never seen one in circulation. Ever since humans were banned, I’ve never heard anything more about it.” Everyone was quite knowledgeable and could tell its origin. “I don’t think it can hold a candle to our potions. Humans have never promoted pills, so t
