Wynn Johnston?No, no, no, no!She belonged to Philip Clarke, she was Brother Clarke's!His fate mattered now.Joel performed the humble posture to the fullest. He was considered as casting the five limbs to the earth. He kowtowed non-stop to the camera, begging for mercy.As Philip stood at the entrance of the hotel, he looked at Joel on the screen. A cold smile appeared on the corners of his mouth. "Some things should not be attempted more than three times. You’ve challenged my patience many times and even aimed at Wynn with your schemes. I’m sorry, you and the Harris family have to say goodbye to the world today.”"Brother Clarke, I was wrong, I was wrong, I was really wrong. I shouldn't have turned to Wynn. Please, just forgive me this one time. I’ll get out of Riverdale immediately and never come back in this life."Joel was in extreme panic. His eyes were glaring widely as he kowtowed to the camera for mercy. His body was covered in blood.In a state like this, how could
Giada was speechless at that question.Her complexion flushed slightly, and there was a cold glint in her eyes.“Let the Harris family go. They’ll pay the price for what they did.”Giada took a deep breath. Her expression flickered, and she soon recovered from her guilty conscience.For the first time, she felt that she had underestimated Philip.This guy had become unfathomable in the past seven years.Giada suddenly felt that all the rumors and information about him that were collected through investigations in the past years were all false.Philip Clarke was a master at disguising himself.Philip remained silent and grim. He took a step forward and forced Giada to take a few steps back before he said, “What if I say I don’t want to let them off?”Domineering!At this moment, this word was undoubtedly evident in Philip!Following his actions, all the special guards who were lined up aimed their guns at Klaus and Giada!Giada’s assistant immediately stood in front of her a
Yolanda, who was still in the hotel suite, looked at all the figures downstairs who had just left and completely panicked.Yolanda was dumbfounded.Just as she was about to kiss Philip just now, the door to the room was opened and dozens of men in black suits swarmed in.The person leading the group was the underground king, Theo Zander!Only now did she find out that it was all a trap set by Philip!A trap that made use of her!Yolanda Lee had been taken advantage of?Philip Clarke, that trash! Yolanda would hate him for the rest of her life!As for Philip, he was humming a tune and leisurely returned to the Old Johnston Manor.At the entrance, a few dark shadows moved forward and said respectfully, “Mr. Clarke, you’re home.”Philip nodded while glancing at them. They grinned before running away.Philip opened the door and tiptoed into the bedroom.Philip thought for a moment, and just as he was about to get into the bed, Wynn turned over beside him and hugged Philip while
Look at it?“What’s there to look at? A wastrel like you has money to buy a villa?”Martha stood up immediately, pointed feistily at Philip’s nose, and mocked, “You can’t even afford a house the size of a hundred square meters, what more a villa! I’ll kowtow and beg for your forgiveness today if you actually own one!”This useless bum was really shameless, lying without even blinking.“Okay, remember your words,” Philip said calmly.Martha snorted and said, “Wynnie, just look at this Philip. He’s such a shameless liar. A worthless wench like him can afford to buy a villa? Does he even know how expensive the property in Riverdale is? Even the prices at Hillside Villa have increased. Each unit now costs 15 million!”Wynn was getting a headache already. Why was her mother always looking down on Philip?“Mom, Philip is telling the truth. He really bought one at Longford Park. I have no reason to lie to you.”Wynn said disdainfully, her eyes slightly cold.Martha was taken aback wh
Gina Wood did not think that a good-for-nothing like Philip could ever afford a villa. She heard that Wynn became the chairman of a company, so there was a possibility that she bought it, but for the sake of dignity, they were claiming that Philip bought it instead.In any case, Gina was unhappy.They were all members of the Johnston family, but Charles’ family was the one who bought a villa, so anyone would be upset about it.“Haha, Gina, I think Martha is just joking around. How can that trash afford a villa?”Another sister-in-law, Amelia Stone, had a mocking expression on her face.The two families arrived together. Charles’ two younger brothers, Martin Johnston and Bernard Johnston, also looked disdainful.The two families were ordinary people and possessed an aptitude of average citizens too.When they heard that the eldest sibling’s family had bought a villa, they were all unhappy because of their falling dignities.The eldest brother became a section head before he reti
Everyone was confused at this moment.With such luxurious Mercedes-Benzes sent to pick them up, could Philip really have bought a villa?“F*ck! These cars belong to Longford! The logo with a gold dragon!”Among the relatives, Martin’s son, Liam Johnston, exclaimed loudly.Although his family was not very well-off, this kid was dressed cleanly with all branded names. Even the phone in his hand was the latest model from the fruit brand.He recognized these cars from the gold dragon logo unique to the Longford family of Riverdale!In the entire Riverdale area, no one else would dare to do this!Besides, when he went to a bar last time, he had seen a car with a gold dragon logo before. It belonged to the young master of the Longford family.Now, seeing the car here, Liam was naturally excited and exhilarated, but at the same time, he was dubious too.Why would Longford's cars stop in front of his uncle’s house? Were they really here to pick them up?“What? Longford’s cars? Longfo
“Yes, I think so too. Sister-in-law Martha, you must keep an eye on Wynn. Philip must be up to no good. Maybe he might even embezzle the money and run away, then your family will end up in a miserable state.”“That’s right. For a wimp like that to make such a big show for no reason, he must be trying to hoodwink us!”When Martha heard those words, her expression sank. She felt very dissatisfied.It was an investment worth one billion. That good-for-nothing Philip must not be allowed to touch that money!That money belonged to Wynn’s company, and Wynn’s money was hers!“I understand. This wastrel won’t get a single penny from my house!” Martha gritted her teeth bitterly.Thereafter, everyone got into the cars tentatively.They wanted to see what Philip was up to.“Hey, do you think we’re really going to Longford Park? I’ve heard that Longford Park is like a palace, very luxurious!”In the car, the few women gathered around and chattered endlessly.Gina was the type of woman wi
“How did this bunch of beggars appear at Longford Park?”Suddenly!An unpleasant voice rang out.A couple approached them. The guy was handsome while the woman was pretty.From their clothes, it was quite obvious that they were not ordinary people.The man was very displeased, as seen from his deep frown.The woman next to him dressed in revealing clothes also wrinkled her nose and said unhappily, “Mickey, isn’t the security in Longford Park supposed to be very strict? Why are there so many trashy people here? They stink.”Mickey Cage was also very disgusted at the sight of such people and directly addressed the well-trained security guards at the entrance. “Hey, aren’t you going to drive them away?”As soon as Martha heard this, she immediately flared up. She raised her voice, pointed at the couple, and yelled, “Little brat, who are you talking about? Who are the trashy people? You’re the trashy people! Your entire family is trash! What’s so great about Longford Park? We’re he
They could also see some toddlers, which proved that the predecessors were living quite a good life. “We thought you had ascended to another place. Is this the place you ended up? It doesn’t look like the paradise described in the books!” Selma blinked innocently, wondering why this place looked like this. This place was not rich in energy, and there was nothing special about it, so it was not attractive at all. “We didn’t ascend but have been trapped in this place over the years with no way to leave.” Fitz did not want to deceive them and simply told them the facts. Now that they had entered, the newcomers had no way of leaving either. “Didn’t you notice? The passage that led you in has been sealed. There’s no way to leave now.” Selma turned her head curiously and looked at the exit. Philip followed suit and found that it was indeed the case. The exit was blocked by a huge stone. No one knew when the stone appeared. It felt like it appeared out of thin air. Philip's ex
When Philip’s eyes adjusted to the light, he saw a gurgling stream in front of him. There was a small village beside the stream and many more villages along the stream. Philip counted four in total. The villagers who lived along the stream observed Philip as he looked at them. “Outsiders?” A man standing in the front stared at Philip in surprised disbelief. Philip noticed that he had a snake tail. Hearing the man's words, everyone ran out. Without exception, they all had a snake tail. It was clear that they belonged to the same race as Selma. Selma covered her mouth in shock at this scene. It was true. Their predecessors were staying there. The man mellowed down after seeing Selma. He felt a familiar vibe on her. It seemed that they shared the same bloodline. Philip nudged Selma, who quickly understood his meaning and showed her true form. Cavin followed her cue. Seeing this scene, the man laughed and applauded. The spider people arrived at this time. They were surpri
Philip finally realized that Ariadna was not wealthy enough to do business with him. “This emerald pendant is very valuable! Don’t look down on it just because you’re strong!” Ariadna grumbled under her breath but had no choice but to accept it. After all, Philip had the final say about its value. Maybe her treasure was worthless to Philip because he was too strong for it. After taking the emerald pendant, Philip told Ariadna what he knew per their agreement, which was the secret about people living in the ancestral land. As expected, Ariadna was shocked by the news too. “Are you serious? This is too far-fetched. Are you saying that our predecessors have been trapped here and haven't left for another place?” Her outburst gave Philip a different idea. When he spoke to Selma earlier, he subconsciously believed that these so-called predecessors had ascended. It was strange that they reached a very odd place of ascension. After hearing Ariadna’s remark, however, it seemed mor
No one knew if their predecessors would treat them as their own. Although they had the same bloodline, they had not seen each other for such a long time. Besides, they sneaked into the ancestral land without permission. Maybe they would be killed before they stepped inside. Philip’s information was very useful, indeed. Selma quickly returned to her family members in a panic and discussed with them. With only a few of them, the discussion was very brief before they reached a decision. Cavin grimaced at this unexpected development, and he was more in awe of Philip. He was shocked by Philip’s strength. If Philip could sense that, his observation skill was nothing in front of Philip! Cavin felt helpless about it. It felt a little embarrassing to have shown off his skill in front of Philip now. “Selma, what should we do now? We have to consider the stalkers behind us. They won’t give up that easily. We may be in trouble if we don't find a way to get rid of them.” Cavin glanced at th
“Are you referring to humans like us or unique races like them?” Philip was surprised that Rabbit sensed something that he did not. Philip stroked Rabbit's round head with satisfaction as a compliment to him. Rabbit wiggled his short tail in pride. He really felt something was wrong, so he hoped Philip would pay attention to it. “I don’t think they're one of us. They're more likely one of the unique races.” Rabbit did not kick up a fuss after he noticed something was wrong but simply spoke to Philip on the side. He knew that these people might go crazy if they found out people were living in their ancestral land. Philip looked at Rabbit solemnly. After much deliberation, he finally decided to tell Selma about the discovery. Meanwhile, Selma was still thinking about how to get rid of Ariadna when Philip pulled her aside all of a sudden. Selma looked at Philip shyly with a hint of panic in her eyes. “I need to tell you something. Be mentally prepared for it,” Philip said se
If Philip had not been on guard, he might have been misled by the mist into thinking that it was nothing. Others rushed over, eager to find out what happened. Ronan looked around excitedly. He wanted to judge the situation by the traces left behind, but surprisingly, there was no sign of a battle. He was confused and wondered what had happened. He had been expecting a fierce battle. After all, it was very difficult to subdue such things. However, he saw a scene of peace in front of him. “Philip, what happened? Something feels wrong. There should be something toxic here, but I don’t see anything. Are you too strong or are those things too cunning?” Ronan was very curious and felt that things were more than met the eye. “You’ll find out soon. Anyway, did those guys follow you?” Philip looked back at the restless people mockingly. They were not that strong, but they would never miss any chance to take advantage of others. “Some of them did follow us, but they're not very quick
“On top of that, I can also help to expand your awareness and enhance your mental strength.” Philip persuaded the mist with everything he had, hoping that it would leave with him. He was strong enough to interact with the mist in an equal setting. If the mist refused to give in, Philip would consider beating it into submission. After much deliberation, the mist, who was more like an innocent child, agreed to Philip’s suggestion. Philip felt the excitement expressed by the mist. “I’ll take you into my space now. Don’t resist. You’ll feel that mysterious power in a minute.” He took the mist into his space, and the large expanse of blue mist vanished in an instant. The fierce killing intent in the passage disappeared with it. Philip looked at the disappearing mist in excitement. He found something very good this time. The mist was obviously still in its growing stage, an ignorant little thing at present. The mist would grow under his help into a strong existence. He was glad to
Arachne and the others saw the mist and were frightened. They quickly hid beside the snake people without lurking in the dark anymore. “What’s up with the weird mist?” The spider people brought more people than Selma’s team this time. Everyone was squeezed in this place, making it a little crowded. The snake people looked at them in disdain, shocked that they had the nerve to approach them. “Don’t you see how crowded this place is? Stop squeezing your way inside!” Cavin said with disdain. Although Cavin looked like a timid child who anyone could bully, he was quite manly in a confrontation. Rabbit huffed at them in anger but did not know what to say. Arachne rolled her eyes. “This is obviously the only safe place around. Where should we go if not here? You can leave if you think it’s crowded,” Arachne sneered with disdain. They knew that Philip had entered the danger zone, so they wanted to stay close to keep abreast of his updated situation. However, they overlooked
Whether the fine wine or the delicious beast meat provided by Philip, their strength improved greatly after the meal, which was simply too good to be true. Everyone guessed whether eating such meat on a long-term basis would make their bodies stronger. “Our business will definitely soar if we have such meat on the menu!” Selma marveled solemnly. She knew how attractive the meat was to humans or other races. It was worth looking forward to a meal that could improve one’s strength. Moreover, they could feel their bodies slowly absorbing the meat’s energy without going to waste, and they did not have to go through the effort of absorbing it, which was simply amazing. When Philip and his people left after having their fill, Arachne followed them with her people. Ariadna was so jealous that her thoughts became distorted. If she had not been so stupid back then, she might have gotten the chance to sit with Philip and enjoy the meal too. She lost the chance because she was stupid and
