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
That day, Philip was ready to find Anne at the hospital.He had promised to take a look at her brother’s condition.On the way, Philip pondered about it before buying some fruits. It would be rude to visit empty-handed.When he arrived at the hospital, it was about three in the afternoon. Seeing Philip, Anne was a little bashful as she said, “Mr. Philip, you really don’t have to. I feel bad for you having to come all the way.”Philip smiled and said, “It’s nothing. However, it’s a secret between you and me. Don’t tell Miss Wynn. Let’s go. Take me to see your brother.”Anne was a whole head shorter than Philip. Even though the young woman was pretty, her face was a little waxy. She had most probably overworked herself. Such a young woman like that often made people feel sorry for her.Anne led Philip to the sixth floor of the inpatient department. The floor was exclusively reserved for patients with leukemia. There were both adults and children.Philip looked around and saw a l
Philip burst out laughing from anger. “Just because we don’t have money, we can’t come to the hospital? Who set that rule? You? Are you the dean? Who are you? Say that again and trust me that I’ll slap you to next week!”When the man heard that, he was enraged. He got up and said through gritted teeth, “Well, well, kid. Slap me now if you have the f*cking guts. Do you believe me that I’ll find someone to end you?”After that, the man continued, “My brother-in-law is the dean of this hospital. Do you believe that I can get that sickly fool out of here with just one phone call?”Philip did not want to surrender. That person had to be taught a lesson!Dean?Hehe.“What are you two fighting about? This is the hospital, not your home!”The nurse who was passing by glared at both of them.Finally, Philip stopped and said to the nurse, “I want to ask what happened to Mason’s spot.”The nurse looked at Mason and then said in pity and helplessness, “He owes the hospital a lot of money,
Everyone around them was shocked.The man who had approached Dean Neale to ask him to take a look at his wife became lifeless in the blink of an eye.Dean Neal was being so respectful to that penniless fool?Young master?Philip caressed Mason’s head and smiled. He said, “If I say you’ll get better, you’ll surely get better.”Mason looked at Philip curiously with admiration burning in his eyes. Mr. Philip seemed like a powerful person.Philip looked at Dean Neale and smiled. “Hello, Dean Neale.”Dean Neale smiled and said, “Young master, Thomas contacted me beforehand. What do you need?”Dean Neale looked at Mason who was standing by Philip’s side and understood immediately. “It’s for this little boy, right?”Philip shook Dean Neale’s hand and said, “Set aside curing him first, Dean Neale. I don’t like that man in my hospital, do you understand?”Dean Neale’s face became solemn. He turned around and looked at the fat man.The man must have crossed the young master.Dean Nea
Anne was in a dilemma.However, Philip did not think too much. He merely turned around to look at Dean Neale and said, “Dean Neale, this little boy doesn’t have a spot…”Dean Neale chuckled lightly and replied, “It’s nothing, we have a special ward on the top floor.”Philip nodded. “Thank you for the trouble, Dean Neale.”Dean Neale smiled. “It’s nothing.”Then, Dean Neale and the doctors dismissed themselves.Meanwhile, after Philip made another phone call, he over to Anne and said, “The medical team will arrive in Riverdale tomorrow.”“Tomorrow?” Anne’s hands became frozen.She pushed her hair back behind her ears and said softly, “Thank you.”“You don’t have to be so courteous. It’s something I should do. If you want to thank me take good care of Mila.”Philip chuckled. He was really fond of Anne and wanted to make her his sister.The two of them stayed in the hospital for a bit before parting ways.On the other hand, Martha had stayed awake since the day before and had
A few middle-aged women were gathered in Blue Mountain Cafe and could be seen chatting happily.Martha was very happy that day. She could finally show off in front of her sister and friends. A pleased expression could be seen on her face as she shook the jade bangle on her wrist. She said, “It’s nothing, my son-in-law gave this to me. I heard that it’s made of glassy jade and goes for a few hundred thousand bucks.”The middle-aged women around her were extremely envious. Their eyes were glued on the bangle on Martha’s wrist.“Martha, isn’t your son-in-law a well-known piece of garbage? How could he afford it?”One of the women who had her eyes glued on the jade bangle on Martha’s wrist asked curiously.“Oh, that kid won the lottery a few days ago. He bought this for me out of filial piety.”Martha was blatantly lying, yet she was not ashamed of her behavior at all.On the other hand, Paula scoffed. The other women were unaware of her personality. However, as Martha’s older siste
Seeing the woman’s horror, Philip scratched his head awkwardly. He did not expect that her reaction would be so intense. “Don't worry, I'm not a good person.” After saying that, Philip sat down nonchalantly as if he was not worried about this powerful woman. Seeing Philip’s disregard for her, the woman was so angry that she could barely speak.“As you can see, I’m one of those humans,” Philip introduced himself. Philip had nothing to hide. His identity was no secret. “So, you’re one of those disgusting humans. You look quite strong. Since you found me, I’ll accept my fate. Just kill me if you want. There’s no need to insult me any further.” This woman was quite interesting. She jerked her chin up as if she was ready to let Philip kill her. Philip sighed at her reaction. Why was someone so eager to die? “I don’t want to kill you. I’m just curious about you. I just arrived at Deadly Arena recently,” Philip said to the other party sincerely. He was very curious about the
“You’re right, someone is controlling these beasts behind the scenes. Although I don’t know if the culprit is a powerful beast or a guild, they're not to be trifled with.” Philip did not hide this information but asked his men to take action. Since they were already here, they had to ensure their safety. No one would be exempted if anything happened. “You can join in the fight, but don’t try too hard. Just kill a few beasts and wait until I get to the bottom of this,” Philip said to his people. He was afraid that his men would work too hard but end up with nothing. Everyone nodded solemnly at Philip’s instructions. They quickly joined the battlefield and casually swung their weapons around, killing the arrogant beasts. Due to their strength, they easily crushed the beasts without much effort. As the fight reached its peak, Philip observed the source of the beast stampede. “Do you see that? The beasts are coming from that direction, and they’re clearly well-organized and d
Philip noticed the change and frowned at the mysterious man, whose expression changed drastically. “This is bad. I’ve never heard this alarm before.” After saying this, he invited Philip to go with him to Deadly Arena to find out what happened. They arrived at Deadly Arena and saw everyone staring ahead nervously as if waiting for someone to speak. Philip’s guild members noticed his return and approached him nervously. Aslan ran up to Philip worriedly. “Philip, I asked around and found something wrong. Deadly Arena is a dangerous place because it’s situated next to the beast forest. This situation has happened from time to time in the past, but no one was bothered. They’d even organize teams to hunt the beasts and Deadly Arena would provide rewards for this.” Philip roughly understood the situation from Aslan’s explanation. Since Deadly Arena had been managing this place for so long, they had taken responsibility for the safety issue. Once the beasts appeared, they would ensu
Argent thought he had come up with a good plan to set Philip up, but he was the fool who was kept in the dark in the end. Philip smiled at Argent’s angry departure and invited the mysterious man to his room. Although Philip chatted with him earlier, he did not know much about him. Philip could tell that the man had concealed his true appearance. Philip was curious to see what would happen. The mysterious man noticed Philip’s anticipation but simply stared at him in silence. Philip wanted to know his identity and purpose for coming here. “I really think highly of you. It’d be best if you could join me.” He knew that Philip would not give in so easily, so his rationality told him to give up. “It’s impossible for me to join you, but I’m curious about your situation. I believe you have a grudge against that guy or you wouldn’t resent him so much.” Philip smiled at the guy. He knew that the grudge between the two was very deep. The mysterious man was surprised that Philip
In Argent’s opinion, Philip was a prideful person and would never accept this proposal. “Of course, you have the right to refuse. I just want to see what you think.” The mysterious man smiled at Philip brightly as if he did not mind Philip’s rejection.Seeing the mysterious man’s attitude, Argent was afraid that his plan would fail. Philip was not a fool. He could tell at a glance that the two people in front of him were not on the same side. Everyone had their own agendas. “In that case, I have to refuse. I’m sorry, but I’m used to leading a carefree life. Besides, I have my own force, so I won’t join other teams.” A trace of regret flashed in the other party's eyes. He was surprised to hear that Philip was capable enough to form a team of his own. “I’m surprised that you’re so strong at such a young age. In that case, I won’t make things difficult for you. Maybe we can become friends instead.” The mysterious man quickly made small talk with Philip. He clearly had some idea
Most people would be freaked out at the sight of his face. He took out a photo from his pocket and held it in his hand angrily. “Argent, you've enjoyed your life long enough. It’s time to get what you deserve.” The mysterious man smiled cruelly with obvious hatred for Argent. This whole incident had nothing to do with Philip at all. Philip was simply a pitiful pawn in these people’s hands. Philip never dreamed that someone would target him for no reason. He just wanted to improve his strength. He could not care less about what other people thought of him.… Time passed quickly. The next day, Philip did not expect these people to come after him so soon. He just wanted to have a good rest and find a suitable place to settle down, but these people were as annoying as pesky flies. “Philip, get out here at once. I want to see how strong you are. How dare you show off in front of me?” Argent yelled at Philip’s door in disdain. His right hand was bandaged tightly as if he was still
The mysterious man forced himself to contain his anger and smile at Argent. Argent knew that he had to stop asking for more. At this point, what was the most important? “I can give you Philip’s address, and we can deal with him tomorrow morning. If you teach him a good lesson, I’m sure he’ll listen to you,” Argent said smugly. His plan was simple. He wanted to use the other party to deal with Philip. Philip had messed with him earlier and crippled his right hand. He would have died if he had not stopped the bleeding in time. Therefore, the grudge between him and Philip was so deep that he could not wait to rip Philip into pieces. Argent and the mysterious man who refused to reveal his name quickly came up with a plan. “In that case, I’ll see you again tomorrow morning. I hope you won't let me down.” After saying this, the mysterious man zoomed into the distance and soon disappeared. Seeing the other party’s hasty retreat, Argent was full of disdain. “Hehe, you think too hig
“Wow, you guys are so generous to send me such a precious gift this time. Tell me more about the deal you want to discuss with me. If it’s up to my expectations, I can consider it.” Argent's mood changed for the better. He smiled brightly and did not consider other possibilities. He seemed to have forgotten the conflict and resentment he had toward Philip. “We know that a young heroic man has appeared in Deadly Arena this time. We’re very interested in him and have decided to recruit him. I heard that you fought him before. I wonder if he's as powerful as I imagined.” The other party did not introduce himself but looked at Argent with a smile. Argent scowled. He thought that this matter was over, but this guy brought it up again. He was obviously trying to belittle him. “Hehe, let’s forget it. I don’t have much of an opinion about Philip. He’s just an average person, nothing worth mentioning.” Argent was afraid of exposing his shame, so he tried to tarnish Philip’s reputati
After confirming that he could leave safely, Argent ran away quickly, unwilling to stay a second longer. Philip was so terrifying that he wanted to keep his distance from him. Argent simply wanted to rob Philip of his treasures, but he was seriously injured instead. He could not accept it. Argent quickly ran back home. He had settled down with his family after such a long time. Given his strength, no one refused his requests. Argent’s family members simply wanted to follow someone strong, so they did not mind doing anything. In the meantime, an uninvited guest appeared at Argent’s home. He did not make an appointment with Argent in advance, so Argent did not know him. When Argent returned home in a mess, they bumped into each other. “I’m surprised to see the head of the family looking so miserable. I’m here at the right time.” The man stared at Argent mockingly as if he was enjoying the show. Argent was annoyed by his reaction, angry that an outsider had seen him in his most mi
