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
Bang bang!After two loud shots were heard, blood began to pour out.That man was shot in his arm and leg. Consequently, he let out a shrill scream of pain.“Happy?” Giada smiled and said.Philip did not say anything. Instead, he merely lifted his hand and made a gesture before the red dot on Giada’s chest disappeared.At the same time, in the forest nearby the villa, a black figure flashed by.“Over there! Get him!”In an instant, more than half of the security guards in the villa ran over in an attempt to catch the intruder.As for Philip, he began to calmly drive away from the villa.When he got to the foot of the mountain, he stopped the car.Then, a man who was wearing a black hoodie, a cap, and a face mask jumped out from a bush by the road and entered the car.Subsequently, the car started once again and sped away.Inside the car, the man in the passenger seat removed his cap and face mask before letting out a sigh of relief. He said, “That place is really something
“I’m just kindly reminding you that these people are not to be trifled with!” At this point, Rabbit smiled brightly at Philip. It had a favor to ask. “Philip, since you fear nothing, why don’t you find my family members for me? After so many years, I have no idea what happened to them!” Philip nodded. He had that intention in mind too. Rabbit’s family was quite important. “After so many years, I’m afraid that something has happened to them. These people are very cruel and like to eat rabbit meat the most!” At this point, Rabbit wiped away tears of pain. “I wonder how my old lovers are doing. Do they miss their king?” Hearing its bragging, Philip smacked its head. “If you want to find your people, cut the crap and lead the way. I’ll turn them into rabbit stew at this rate!” Philip was not familiar with this place, so he needed this silly rabbit to lead the way. Rabbit took out something similar to a compass and waved it in front of Philip. “Let me check their location.
Philip easily got rid of the killer from Cavern Coven. He was so weak that Philip wondered whether his reputation was false. “I’m grateful for his information. I wouldn’t have known so much if it weren’t for him.” Philip glanced at the other party's body and smiled helplessly. He snapped his fingers and turned the body into a pile of ash. Everyone looked at the scene indifferently as if they were used to it. “Philip, look at that.” Lyle noticed an object floating above the ground and picked it up. Unexpectedly, the object exploded. “What the hell?” The object exploded and released a strange powder that stuck to everyone’s bodies. “This must be a technique employed by Cavern Coven to avenge their fallen comrades. Every member will carry this thing with them, which will be activated when they die,” Philip said calmly, not taking it seriously at all. Philip did not even bother to remove the powder. “Let’s get rid of this thing, lest they come after us. They're very persi
“Why should I spare your life after robbing you? Hurry up and hand over your things and maybe I’ll leave you a whole body!” Seeing the other party's arrogant attitude, Philip blinked at him in mock sorrow. “Since you’re so strong, why don't we make a deal? Let me know who you are before I die.” Philip looked at him pitifully as if he admired this handsome guy from the bottom of his heart. The other party fell silent. “You don’t know me? Where are you from?” He looked at Philip in confusion, thinking that Philip was joking. However, Philip’s sincere expression made it clear that he had no idea. “We live in the mountains and make a living by doing handicrafts. We're out of touch with this society, so it’s normal for us not to know you. More importantly, you look very powerful, so you must be very difficult to deal with. Please tell us so that we don’t die in vain!” The people in this world were not very smart, so they were easy to fool. The guy quickly fell for Philip’s tri
The man with a scraggly beard followed Philip and the others around until he was frustrated. “Damn it, are these people dumb tourists? It’s a waste of my time following them around!” He thought they would leave the city and go to the suburbs, so he could attack Philip there, but they simply wandered aimlessly in the city instead. Philip remembered that this city did not allow fighting when they first arrived, so he had nothing to fear. “That’s enough fun. Let’s go and expose that man’s identity,” Philip said with a smile and led everyone out of the city. Since fighting was prohibited in the city, he had to go out of the city to deal with this guy. When Scraggly was getting impatient, he saw Philip leaving the city and was delighted. “Finally, he left the city!” He followed Philip out of the city into a forest. “Aren't you tired after following us for such a long time? Sit down and have a cup of tea,” Philip said with a smile as soon as they entered the forest. The man
Philip led everyone back to the room. It was more comfortable to have their own private room. The burly man who had been talking to Philip earlier kept looking around, wondering why Philip was not back yet. “Where did he go? Isn’t he aware that there’s a second round? He just left! What a fool.” He thought Philip did not know about the second half of the auction and went home. He felt sorry for Philip for missing it. Meanwhile, Philip was telling everyone about what happened. He was excited to have encountered so many interesting things. “Mr. Wind looks quite interesting, but I’m more interested in this True God’s Hammer.” After hearing about it several times, Philip looked forward to seeing it with his own eyes. At this moment, someone set their sights on Philip. Although Philip had put his items up for auction quite discreetly, there was no secret in this world.With Tamworth as the first example, there was no way to keep Philip a secret. As long as one party was wil
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
