Ronald exploded like a volcano, showing just how intimidating he could be!He glared at his son and jabbed a finger at his nose, “You useless, useless son! How dare you lie through your teeth like that? When have I ever helped young Wynn here?”Joel was stunned. He looked at his father in confusion.What was wrong with the old man? Why was he turning on his son?Wynn was quite disappointed right now. Joel, who was once sunny and bright, had changed completely!He had become so two-faced and fake!“What are you saying, Dad? Didn’t you help Wynnie that time? I called you and you said you would assign someone to it. You said you could handle it.”Joel frowned deeply and forced the lie through, but he was getting a bad feeling about this.“Nonsense! When have I ever said that?”Ronald was properly furious now. “I just said I would have someone look at it. When did I ever say that I could solve it?”The air turned tense.“What on earth is happening here? Please tell me honestly,
No way!The man was a good-for-nothing, through and through!Joel shook his head and dismissed that ridiculous notion.After that, he continued to give chase, trying to catch up to Wynn and explain.Philip was at the door. When he saw Joel running past him in such a hurry, he was inevitably confused. Why was Joel Harris here too?Joel was shocked to suddenly see Philip here too. The next second, he was filled with rage. If it were not for Philip, Joel would be living happily with Wynn by now.He went up to Philip furiously and grabbed the latter by his collar, roaring, “Why are you here, Philip, you piece of trash?”Why?Why was this worthless wretch here at Copper Peacock Palace?The party tonight was held for Clarke Group’s Master Clarke. If Philip was here…Impossible!Philip yanked Joel’s arm away and straightened out his collar, sneering at Joel coldly. “Why am I here, you ask? You’ll know soon enough. Stay put and don’t leave, okay?”“F*cking idiot! F*ck you!”Joel s
The seven or eight young men and women immediately looked at Philip with contempt.“Have y’all seen enough? Scram off somewhere you’re actually welcome.”That was when Howard stepped forth and tried to shoo them off impatiently.“Haha, what’s the matter? Are you afraid of embarrassing yourselves too? If you are, shouldn’t you get the hell out of here?”Samantha crossed her arms in front of her chest, looking down her nose at them.“Shut up! Seriously, Samantha Benson, don’t you have anything better to do? I want to stay here, so I’ll stay. What the hell does that have to do with you?”Phillip snapped back, clearly angry now.“Hmph! R*tard!”Samantha scoffed, “You’re a turtle who’s never left your tiny shell. Stay here if you like, then you’ll see how puny you really are.“Let’s go!”Samantha turned around, sticking up her perky butt.Yolanda, Joshua and the rest happened to witness that scene too.“Haha, look at that. Joshua. Philip sure is useless. He took all that scoldin
Hudson reached out his hand enthusiastically to shake Philip’s.Everyone was stunned!All of them had their jaws drop, their hearts in utter turmoil!Frank, Samantha and the others were even more taken aback. Samantha especially had her mouth open so wide that she could stuff two whole eggs into it!Someone, please tell her what was going on here!Joshua, Yolanda and their group were stunned speechless as well. They stared intently at Philip, who wore a composed smile.No, that could not be!It must be a mistake!They were not the only ones who thought that. Samantha and her friends were similarly in disbelief!“Did you make a mistake, Mr. Cash? There’s no way he’s Master Clarke, he’s my third aunt’s son-in-law who married into the family. He’s a good-for-nothing food deliveryman.”Frank said snidely, interrupting Hudson’s handshake with Philip.“That’s right, he can’t possibly be Master Clarke. He’s just a poser of a peasant! There’s no way he’s Master Clarke.”Samantha sh
Philp looked at everyone’s expressions of shock. His eyes cold, he stared at Frank and said, “You say you had a meal with me before, Frank?”Smack smack smack!Philip’s words were like lightning-quick slaps to Frank’s face.Frank suddenly remembered the lie he had told at the Johnstons’ place that day. How embarrassing.Samantha was completely red now too. She did not even dare to raise her head, her entire body shaking.The worthless wretch was now emanating a terrifying aura!“N-No… You must be kidding, Master Clarke. How could little old me ever sit at the same table as you?”Frank lowered his noble head. In front of Philip, he had no qualms bending his back low.The sweat dripped off the corners of his forehead and fell onto the tips of his shoes.He did not dare to raise his head or straighten his spine.After all, Philip had not said anything yet.Behind Frank, Samantha’s eyes were lowered too. Her panic and terror showed clearly on her face.Philip did not look at Fr
She was about to step forth when her phone rang at just the wrong moment. Wynn glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was Joel.She frowned her pretty crescent brows and simply rejected the call.Immediately, however, she received a text instead.The contents went straight to the point. “Wynn, I’m waiting for you at the carpark. There’s something I have to tell you about Philip.”Philip?Did something happen to him?Wynn was worried. She glanced at Master Clarke, who was surrounded by his admirers, and decided that she could still see him later anyway.That was why she turned around and headed for the carpark outside.She was very worried about Philip.On the other hand, Philip was giving a speech on the stage to a hall full of attentive guests.Yolanda had returned after leaving, and now she was standing amongst the crowd, still feeling lost. Her large eyes stared intently at Philip, in the middle of his speech.So he really was Master Clarke.“That piece of trash! He’s
”Sorry, Philly~ I was wrong before. I didn’t know you were so rich! Please forgive me? After all, we were classmates, right?”Yolanda whinnied, her eyes filling with tears the more she said.Tears, fears, and then a full-out tantrum. That was her modus operandi.Philip hurriedly said, “Stop right there. I remember clearly how you used to humiliate me. Are you saying you guys could shame me however you liked just because I was poor before?”Well, f*ck!He was not taking the bait!Yolanda panicked. Her playbook never failed her before, but it was not working on Philip.She had no choice but to cry for real!As soon as Philip said that, Yolanda let her tears spill down her face. Wiping her tears, she said, “I know, I was wrong. Please forgive me, Philly… Sooob…”What a headache!Philip had no idea how to handle her, so he could only nod. “Fine, fine, just stop crying! I’ll forget about what happened before.”Hallelujah!Yolanda immediately beamed at him and grabbed his arm aga
Joel’s head was pressed down, but he still yelled, “Let go of me, Clarke!”However, Philip pressed him down harder rather than letting go, his eyes cold as he said, “You asked for it, Harris!”Joel kept wailing and whining, “How dare trash like you touch me, Clarke! I’ll get someone to kill you, believe you me!”This was so embarrassing!In front of Wynn, no less! He was being subjugated by a wimp like Philip, and he could not even fight back.“Kill me? You?” Philip said with a cold laugh.Joel probably did not know what happened in the hall during the party tonight, huh.Otherwise he would never have the guts to say that!Next to them, Wynn was also a little frightened by Philip’s act of violence. She was angry at Joel for trying to molest her earlier, but they were still friends in a way. If the two men really got into a fight, Philip would come out of it worse.As the saying went, the winner went to the station and the loser went to the hospital.That was exactly the situa
“Foxy was the one controlling the beast stampede earlier. The beasts would've razed this place to the ground if I hadn't stopped them in time.” Philip shook his head helplessly. The fence around Deadly Arena had been flattened during the stampede, enough to prove how terrible the earlier battle was. “But of course!” Foxy nodded smugly. The people here would probably be in bad shape if she had not stopped the attack in time. Philip smiled and shook his head. “This young lady is a force to be reckoned with. She simply had to blow a flute to control all the beasts.""I'm sure that all the guilds will try every means to capture Foxy if they find out about her ability,” Lyle said, envious of her ability. Aslan sighed awkwardly. As a monster beast, he had no ability in other areas at all. He could only use his brawn to intimidate others. As if he felt the difference in strength, Aslan lowered his head and was too embarrassed to say another word. Foxy chatted with everyone happil
Aslan was surprised to see Philip bringing a petite and beautiful woman back all of a sudden. “Hey, Philip, where did you pick up such a beautiful woman? I'm so envious.” “You sure have luck with women, Philip. You picked up such a beautiful woman just by going out. It’d be great if I have such luck too.” Aslan and Lyle started teasing Philip, annoying him so much that he almost knocked them out. “Cut the crap. Her name is Foxy, and she's our new teammate. Come with me, everyone. We need to find a safe place to discuss our next plans.” Philip quickly took everyone away. He looked very excited, obviously looking forward to his next plan. Everyone nodded excitedly at Philip’s appearance. They were also curious, wondering what Philip was going to do. Since the beasts had retreated, everyone returned to the lounge area for a break without further ado. Deadly Arena would also be closed for the day and reopen the next day. The inn Philip chose for them was quite luxurious, an
Since their master was dead, these subordinates had to approach the people of Deadly Arena for help. They would be bullied without a master to take charge. They finally found a chance to join a strong employer. Now that he was dead, everyone was at a loss for what to do. “What? He’s dead? This is too much. Find out who those people are. I don’t care which force they belong to or who they have behind them, we need to wipe them out!” This person was Amos, the second in command of Deadly Arena. He knew how to deal with such provocation. “These people are too bold to touch a member of my family. Everyone knows that our children are powerful and undefeatable on this battlefield.” The second in command was annoyed and not in the mood to deal with this incident. His anger over this matter added to his initial agitation. His subordinates were surprised to see his irritation. “What’s wrong, Amos? Why are you so upset? Are the beasts up to something again?” As the second-in-comma
On the battlefield, Aslan was puzzled by the beasts’ sudden retreat. “Maybe the beasts are scared shitless by our strong combat power and decided to give up.” “You got that right. I killed several of them at once and looked really cool.” “But I have a feeling that the beasts this year are much stronger and have greater potential.” Everyone spoke excitedly. The people who killed many beasts had returned for their rewards. They thought highly of the rewards and could not wait to take all the treasures of Deadly Arena.… “Can you control the beasts from a distance?” Philip asked curiously. Foxy nodded. “I can control these beasts no matter where I am. It’s my individual talent.” Since everything went as planned, Philip pondered what to do next. “You should come with me. I’ll tell you about my next plan in detail.” Philip decided to bring Foxy into Deadly Arena. Foxy nodded seriously. She trusted Philip very much and never doubted him at all. He felt a little embarra
This young lady was finally strong enough to protect the beasts. “The grudge between me and those people runs so deep that I’ll never forgive them, so you can forget about it. You look like a good person, so I won’t make things difficult for you. You should leave this dreadful place at once.” Philip smiled helplessly at her words. “Don't worry, I don't like the people from Deadly Arena either, and I have a grudge against them too. In fact, everything happened because of them, so you don’t have to worry about it. If you want to restore this mysterious island to a place where the beasts can live in peace, you should work with me.” These people were not easy to deal with. Although Philip could deal with them with his strength, he would have to pay a price for it. It would be best if he had help. Philip had many ideas. “I’m surprised that you have a grudge against them too. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Let’s talk about this.” The woman smiled excitedly. “My name is Foxy. I
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
