Chapter 36

Author: Master Yu Who Smokes
“Master Russell, please let me explain.” David was anxious as large drops of sweat rolled down his forehead.

Aiden was confused as he asked, “Mr. White, what’s wrong with you?”

David was troubled. He now knew why Russell had called him over, so he quickly said to Aiden, “Mr. Grant, I’m sorry. The painting that I sold you last time was a fake. I’ll refund you the money as soon as I get back.”

“A fake?” Aiden shrieked. The crowd of people standing behind him all gasped, looking incredulous. Charles looked especially shocked and was utterly stunned.

“Mr. White, what do you mean? What do you mean by ‘a fake’? I’ve spent two million to buy it!” Aiden was getting flustered, feeling his body alternate between hot and cold. “And Master Russell had said earlier that that painting is an authentic piece. Are you drunk?”

David was now like a cat on a hot tin roof. Upon hearing the words ‘authentic piece’, he rushed over to the glass display and looked carefully at it before exclaiming, “

    This news came like a bolt from the blue! Philip was stunned for a few seconds before he finally digested Lynn’s words. His tone instantly shot up a few decibels. “Mila’s missing?! Where are you?” This was urgent! Philip felt like someone had kicked him hard on the chest. His back was now drenched with sweat. “Brother-in-law, I’m at Millennium Amusement Park, I only…” Lynn sounded distinctly flustered over the phone. Her background was noisy with sounds of people frolicking about. “Wait there. I’m coming!” Philip roared. Mila was missing! He no longer had time for the people in the gallery as he hurried outside. Behind him, Russell called out to him a few times, but Philip did not respond. Charles added words of contempt, saying Philip had no manners and that he was rushing to his death. Philip did not dare to tell Charles that Mila was missing, thinking that the old man might not even care for Mila’s safety at all. To them, Mila’s birth was a humiliation to the Johnston fami

    Lynn glanced at her friends, looking aggrieved, then finally stuttered, “I… I accidentally… left her alone. This was all because she kept fussing about wanting to go home and kept running around, so I taught her a lesson. Have I done anything wrong?” Lynn was still filled with grievances at the start, but as she spoke, she ended up getting more agitated, as if unwilling to admit that this was her fault. “What’s more, Mila’s your daughter, not mine. Why should I have to look after her? If she’s missing, that’s her fault!” Lynn refused to take this responsibility. This had nothing to do with her. It was all Mila’s fault! It was because that little b*tch, who was an embarrassment to the family, was such an eyesore! Philip was really furious. He never expected Lynn to be this unreasonable but still so proud of herself. “Lynn Johnston, I’m warning you. If Mila is not found at the end of today, I will make you regret this for the rest of your life!” Philip pointed at Lynn and admonished.

    A group of people barged in with the leading middle-aged man looking to be very powerful. He was wearing an expensive suit and had the air of an authority figure as he bellowed the moment he stepped into the room, shocking the staff inside the control room. The staff quickly greeted, “Mr. Hill, what brings you here?” Harold Hill was the supervisor of Millennium Amusement Park, in charge of the facilities, workers, security, and operation within the park. In summary, other than the owner, Harold was the second in command at Millennium Amusement Park. Harold nodded slightly. With a sharp gaze, he asked again, coldly, “Who is Philip Clarke?” Philip mildly frowned and took a step forward. “I am.” The few youngsters behind Harold rushed into the room and blocked the exit. The young boy Philip had slapped earlier, Jeremy Hill, was now pointing arrogantly at him as he said, “Dad, it’s him. He’s the one who slapped me earlier. You have to teach him a tough lesson!” So, they were here

    “My name’s Theo Zander! Now take your people with you and scram!” Theo roared. This was the first time he felt humiliated, and it even happened right in front of Mr. Clarke. Would Mr. Clarke suspect his capabilities because of this? “Theo Zander? What’s that? I don’t know it.” Harold was a short-tempered man. He was the manager of a huge amusement park and had stayed in that high position for so many years now, so it was only natural that his temper was a little shorter. “Stop talking nonsense and quickly apologize to my son, or else, don’t even think about leaving!” Theo Zander? Why does that sound a little familiar? Forget it! Can he be more powerful than I am? I’m the manager here, the king! Theo was fuming with anger. With a reddened face, he pointed at Harold and roared, “Just try to even f*cking move!” Sh*t, this guy really thought he was a small fry! “What are you standing there for? Get them! Or do you all want to get fired?” Harold bellowed at his stall. The workers

    Harold’s scalp was feeling prickly. His face was pale. “Brother Tiger, you’re...” Tiger Zander finally noticed him. He looked up in surprise and asked, “Manager Hill, what are you doing here?” What the… Harold felt like he was about to vomit blood. Did Tiger really not see him standing there? This was his amusement park, after all, his turf! However, Harold did not have the time to mind that now. When he recalled Tiger’s respectful attitude as the man addressed that two people earlier, Harold had a bad feeling about it. He forced out a smile and asked, “Brother Tiger, these two people are…” “This is my older brother, Theo Zander, Brother Theo. And this is Mr. Clarke, my brother’s honored guest,” answered Tiger. Tiger Zander was the top dog of Lord North Street, and Millennium Amusement Park was situated in this Lord North Street. Harold had been working here for many years now, so he naturally knew Tiger Zander’s strength and influence. He also knew that Tiger’s backer was the

    How was he acquainted with a prominent figure like Theo Zander? “Wait,” Philip suddenly called out. In an instant, the group at the door froze in panic, unsure whether to stay or leave. “Mr. Clarke, do you have any other instructions?” Harold still had a little more guts and could afford to stay composed. “I hope you all will not speak of this incident today with anyone else. I do not wish for my daily life to be disrupted, do you understand?” said Philip. “We understand, we understand.” Harold nodded continuously. Philip then nodded, and the group immediately dispersed, almost running away. After they finally got out, Jeremy took a deep breath. When they reached the entrance, they saw Lynn. Jeremy hesitated for the longest time but chose to stay quiet in the end. “How did it go?” Lynn asked anxiously. To be frank, she was unwilling to watch her wretched cousin brother-in-law punished, so she chose to stay behind at the entrance. Jeremy shook his head and answered, “I

    Leon suddenly started laughing. It was a burst of presumptuous and mocking laughter. “What did you just say? Four hundred thousand? Bro, there should be a limit to your act.” Leon continued to mock, “I think what you’re wearing isn’t even worth three hundred. Oh, right, and with that blind daughter of yours, you two wouldn’t even add up to four digits. Forget four hundred thousand, can you even pay up forty thousand?” It was Leon’s first time meeting such a hilarious person. The man was even a father to a child, what an idiot. He must have just been putting up a front to act cool in front of his kid. “Leon, what are you saying? You were at fault first. Why can’t you just apologize to the child?” Silvia sounded annoyed. She had never expected that Leon would hit such an adorable little girl. This man was too vile! Thankfully, she had not accepted his confession earlier. However, Silvia was worried about Philip because she knew of Leon’s background. The young man was from a rich fa

    It was George Thomas’s number. Almost instantly, the call was answered, and from the other end came George’s voice, “Young Master, what are your instructions?” “Investigate Prime Harvest Group. I want them bankrupt in ten minutes!” said Philip faintly. “That’s a small matter,” George answered easily, but then he quickly said, “Young Master, this Prime Harvest Group seems to be doing well, so I’d suggest that you buy it instead. It’s not very expensive too. Their worth on the market now would be… three hundred million. You just have to spend three hundred million to buy them over.” George’s suggestion sounded really good. If he had to destroy a corporation, why not buy it over instead and own it? That way, no one would lose their jobs, and it would be good to keep the market stable. “Alright then, buy it over. Have Lewis Larson come to the dessert shop opposite of Millennium Amusement Park this instant,” said Philip calmly. “One other thing, I want you to send three hundred mi

    The next moment, they appeared in the world where Philip was. Coincidentally, they bumped into the arrogant Claude family. They happened to land at the Claude family’s new residence. The Claude family members were unhappy to see visitors at the door of their new home. “Who are you? Why are you here? You look weird. What are you?” Sadie happened to pass by at this time, and she scowled at the sight of these people. “This is no place for beggars. Go somewhere else to beg for food!” Sadie’s sharp tongue infuriated everyone. “How dare you, woman? Do you know who we are?” Weaver retorted furiously. He never dreamed that a woman would yell at him like this. No one had ever dared to insult him. “So what? Don't forget that we're the Claude family. Do you think you can mess around here?” While Sadie was talking, someone rushed over and looked at her excitedly. “I have news about Philip. Do you want it?” Sadie was excited to hear that. She forgot about the spider people and pulle

    Everyone shook their heads upon hearing that. “We want to follow you not only because of your strength but also because you saved us. Our foundation and power are quite shaky at this point. It’s best if we can find a solid backer.” The three unique races handed their tokens to Philip. The three tokens were put together and dazzled brightly. Philip was curious about the tokens, which clearly had nothing to do with the ancestral land. They had the tokens in hand but could not figure out the situation. “Putting the three tokens together is proof that the three races have chosen to pledge our allegiance to you. It can be seen as a contract,” Fitz said excitedly. It was the first time they used this function. Philip was surprised to sense their allegiance when they activated the tokens. “In that case, you may come with me.” He took everyone into his Verge Tower space and left this place with them. He knew that he had picked up a huge bargain. All of them were not weak and cons

    “Philip, I sense a seal in that man's body. I think that seal is preventing him from leaving this place. The seal is totally trapping him. If no one can help him to unlock that seal, he can forget about leaving this place.” Philip was surprised that Puffy managed to discover the problem in Fitz’s body. Before this, Puffy was still getting used to their language, so he could not communicate with Philip effectively. Now that he was more proficient, he could manage some basic communication with Philip and convey some important information. “This is not only affecting him but also everyone else. Everyone has a seal that binds them here. If they want to leave this place, they have to remove that constraint!” While Philip interacted with Puffy, the others looked at them anxiously. From their point of view, Philip fell silent after that strange remark. It confused them very much. “What are you trying to say?” Fitz said excitedly. He could not wait to hear what Philip had to say. H

    The Claude family members went on a rampage and seized the square, building their house right in the middle of the city. Their house had been destroyed and needed to be rebuilt. They could do whatever they wanted with their strength now. The city guards tried to speak to them but were driven out by the Claude family. Several batches of city guards had been deployed, but no one could deal with them. The Claude family members were like gods of war. Whether men, women, young, or old, they could knock their opponents down easily. The most arrogant person among them was a woman named Sadie. She was so powerful that it felt as if she was above everything. Some people had heard of her name and knew that she used to be an ordinary person in the family. All of a sudden, she became the pillar of the Claude family. “If anyone knows Philip's whereabouts, tell us at once. Once we find Philip, we’ll definitely reward you handsomely!” Sadie said arrogantly to the crowd. She was very calm and

    Without reason on their side, the spider people could not do anything. Now that everyone supported Philip, they would not give in to the spider people so easily. “Well, since your plan is that good, I think you should sacrifice one of your own people, at least to appease the magpie people." “I say Philip is right. Those guys are just putting on an act. They’ll never kill one of their own. Don’t be fooled by those hypocrites!” “We don’t want to work with the spider people!” All the races expressed their opinions. No one wanted anything to do with the spider people at all. They had gone too far. It would spell trouble to get involved with them. “Hehe, good riddance to bad rubbish. The spider people have always been up to no good. You get what you deserve!” Rabbit hopped excitedly, happy that the spider people had become the target of public outrage. “I believe the magpie people won't mind. We did it on the spur of the moment, so I think we should be forgiven. After all, t

    Fitz felt particularly bad at the thought that he failed to protect his people. He vowed to take revenge. People of other races shared the same thoughts. Everyone thought that their people had gone out to seek ways to leave but were met with an accident. Unexpectedly, they were harmed by the spider people, which was simply despicable and unacceptable. “You just need to sacrifice one more person for everyone to leave this dangerous place and lift the curse from us,” Weaver said. Everyone's eyes turned bloodshot at his words, shocked that Weaver would say that so openly. “Hehe, you’re really bold to perform a sacrifice. Why not use one of your own?” Fitz laughed and stared at Weaver. Weaver scowled. Of course, the idea crossed his mind, but the records stated that they had to use other races for sacrifice. Using their own people as sacrifice would void it, so they had to use others. This would not only reduce the other party’s manpower but also save a lot of effort. However,

    Philip wanted to figure out what the spider people were up to. It looked like they had been planning this for a long time, which was terrifying. He had to let the others know about this. Everyone had the right to know. Moreover, the pitiful magpie woman was scared out of her wits. Philip had to bring her home. “Let's go back now. We’ll explore this place later. Do you want to stay here or go out with us?” Philip looked at Celeste curiously. He did not think she was brave enough to venture out. Sure enough, Celeste tugged at the corner of her clothes as she pondered. “I'll go out with you!” Celeste finally decided after much deliberation. Since she had decided to follow Philip, there was no point in hiding here anymore. She had to pluck up the courage. Celeste had lived in the forest for very long and had never gone out before, so she was curious about the outside world. “I want to see the outside world!” Celeste said nervously. Philip simply nodded without a word. The

    At this point, Philip sprang into action. He appeared in front of the other party, catching them off guard. “Who allowed you to kill people for no reason?” The spider people were shocked by Philip’s sudden appearance. They were frightened to see someone there, and he was none other than the human who had strayed into this place by accident. The spiders panicked and wanted to run, but Philip quickly released Puffy. The spider people could not escape because of the curse placed on them and also because of Puffy's existence. The passage only allowed entry, not exit. When anyone stepped into that passage, they would not only come under Puffy’s attack but also suffer a gut-wrenching pain. They felt something was wrong when they tried to escape. Someone noticed Puffy approaching them and yelled in fear, “It’s that deadly thing!” Someone recognized Puffy and ran away screaming. They had no chance of winning against Puffy, so they had no choice but to run. Seeing someone running aw

    Philip could tell that Celeste wanted to help, but she was too weak to do anything. “Don’t worry so much. Let’s wait and see what happens. If possible, we won’t stand by and do nothing. These people are simply outrageous.” Philip did not have a good impression of the spider people, and this incident made it worse. “Not bad!” Rabbit hopped onto Celeste’s shoulder excitedly. Ever since he found out that Celeste had no ability, he liked her even more. He liked people who had no combat power. Except for that extra eye, there was nothing strange about her. Besides, she was quite a beautiful woman, so Rabbit was fond of her. “Philip will take care of it. Don’t worry about it. He’s an outstanding man who fights for justice. You’ll have a good life if you follow Philip, especially since you have that ability but are powerless to take care of yourself. I’m sure you need someone to protect you,” Rabbit chattered away. Rabbit knew how special Celeste’s ability was. She would be of gr
