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
The couple was too arrogant. There were actually people like this living in Longford Park.However, the few of them dared not speak up. This was Longford Park, after all. If anything happened, the Longford family would take charge.They were just ordinary citizens and could not go against them.Despite that, they did not mind if Martha went up against that man. It would be best if she got into big trouble so that they could sit back and watch the good show.Charles was not stupid. He stood out, pulled at Martha’s sleeve, and said quietly, “That’s enough, Martha. This is Longford Park. We can’t afford to offend anyone here.”The Longford family was a prominent family in Riverdale.No one dared to offend them.Martha was now in a temper and refused to listen. She turned around and a slap landed on Charles’ face. “Charles Johnston, you’re as useless as Philip! To think that you used to be a section head. What have you done over the years? Can’t you see that your wife is being bulli
As Frank watched this scene, he suddenly felt that the rebuking man was very pitiful.Yes, he used to mock Philip this way too.The result, however?He was punished severely!Even if it were the Longford family, they were nothing compared to Clarke Group of Capital City!“Philip, why are you only here now? Do you know that we’re being driven out? Is this your arrangement? For us to be embarrassed and made a laughing stock?”Martha was enraged. She got up angrily from the ground and twisted her huge butt as she approached Philip before slapping him.However, Philip dodged the blow. He glared at her coldly and said with a deep frown, “Mom, did you ask me to come here and solve the problem or to give others a good show?”Before this, when Martha hit him, he would just bear with it.Today, he did not wish to tolerate it anymore.Anyway, they would find out the truth later, so why should he continue to bear with it?Martha also felt a little guilty under Philip’s glare, but due t
Mickey saw so many security guards approaching, and he smiled menacingly. “F*cker! You’re dead this time! Since you dare to cause trouble here, just wait to visit death’s door!”However, before he finished speaking, his voice stopped abruptly!All the Longford security guards that rushed in just now all stood neatly behind Philip and bowed respectfully with a shout, “Mr. Clarke!”Mr. Clarke?Mickey was dumbfounded!What was going on here?Even he, Mickey Cage, did not enjoy such privilege from the Longford security guards.Could this pathetic brat be someone of importance?Martha and the rest were also stunned!What kind of Mr. Clarke was this trash supposed to be?Were all the Longford security guards blind?“It’s fine, you came very quickly. I don’t want to see these two ever again. Throw them out,” Philip said placidly before turning around to leave.A group of security guards looked at Mickey, and without saying a word, they dragged him out.“F*ck! How dare you touch m
Philip turned around, glanced at everyone, and said, “Is there a problem?”Everyone was struck dumb at that question.Martha’s expression was very ugly. Where did this useless Philip find the money to buy First Palace?It was not a lie, right?“Sister-in-law Martha, what exactly is going on here? This villa is worth 200 million? How did you get so much money?”Gina was very anxious. This luxurious villa was many times bigger than the ones they passed by just now. It was really like a palace.Did Martha not claim that they could not afford a villa? What was the situation now?A bluff?“Calm down, we haven’t gone in yet. Who knows what Philip is up to? If we can’t go in later, we’ll just wait for him to embarrass himself.”Paula was most upset. She was initially here to taunt Philip today, but now, she simply could not accept the scene before her.She looked back at her son-in-law with a questioning look in her eyes, seemingly to ask if he could afford to buy this place.Frank
“Sister Gina, what’s going on here? How can Philip buy such a villa? It’s 200 million!”Amelia pulled Gina to one side, her face full of jealousy and defiance.She was very upset. They were all part of the Johnston family. Why could Martha’s family afford to buy such a villa?Gina was also very sullen. They had already planned to come here and mock that good-for-nothing Philip. Everyone was confused by the unfolding of events now.“I don’t know either. Hasn’t her son-in-law been very useless all this time? Where did he get so much money?”Gina said with a face full of doubts. She looked at Philip who stood at one side with Wynn and felt very uneasy.“Didn’t you see how the security guards treated Philip with such respect just now? This guy is not a hidden rich second generation, is he?”Martin interrupted at this moment, and Bernard also nodded suspiciously.Gina nodded but did not take it seriously. If Philip was really a hidden rich second generation, why would he endure quie
“No one ever comes to my place. You must be outsiders.” Celeste was curious, wondering who Philip was. Celeste knew about the four unique races, but Philip’s appearance and form did not fit any of them. “You’re right. I’m an outsider. I wanted to know something, so I came to the forest. It’s best if you can give me an answer. I don’t intend to harm anyone. If you can answer my questions, I’ll leave and remove the curse on you as well,” Philip persuaded her. He felt that the woman was quite sincere, different from what he imagined. In that case, there was no need to make things difficult for her. Besides, he did not feel a murderous vibe in her, so she had probably never done anything bad. Philip had no reason to make things difficult for someone who liked to hide and sing. “Go ahead. I’ll answer you if I know, but I don’t really know much. I usually stay in my own territory and have no contact with the outside world. Even the other races don't know of my existence.” Rabbit
Philip felt that there was no problem with his hearing. Someone was humming a song, and the tune sounded very strange and spooky in the dark forest. Rabbit frowned and nodded. He also heard the strange sound and was scared. “Who has nothing better to do but to sing here?” Rabbit nervously grabbed the corner of Philip's clothes, afraid that Philip would leave him behind. Philip shook his head. According to the others, no one would come here for no reason. Due to various dangers in the forest, they would only wander around the edge without seeking trouble in the depths. In that case, the abrupt singing voice was very strange, indeed. “Philip, don't be nervous. Stay calm.” Rabbit's voice was trembling. Although Rabbit kept telling Philip to stay calm, he was already freaking out, so scared that he nearly wanted to run away. Philip knew Rabbit’s character, so he did not comment. He simply observed the surroundings and listened carefully to the sound, which was so ethereal tha
Philip took Puffy along and quickly arrived in a forest where the other races usually hunted, so they should not face any danger here. As soon as Philip left, a woman appeared in the corner and looked in the direction where Philip left with a conflicted look on her face. “Should I follow him?” Ariadna had been left behind in the snake people’s village. She had no friends, and no one paid her any attention. Sometimes, they even displayed their ridicule and disdain for her. She did not get good treatment even though she was a junior from the outside world. In desperation, Ariadna decided to follow Philip. Unexpectedly, she saw Philip with a cute kid the next second. Ariadna was surprised to see that Philip had such a big and cute child. “Wait, that kid looks a little weird.” Due to the distance, Ariadna could not see what the kid looked like, but his color and body shape seemed different from that of normal people. After much deliberation, Ariadna decided to tag along, co
“I’ll look around and find out what’s going on. Don’t worry about me. Look for Ronan if anything crops up.” Philip decided to leave Ronan in charge. Ronan did not object. He knew that Philip wanted to train him. He rarely interacted with others, so he had poor social skills. He had improved with Philip’s help, but his skills were still nothing compared to Philip’s subordinates. He was deeply moved by the opportunity that Philip had given him. “Sure enough, heroes will emerge from the youth. You two will have a bright future!” Wren said excitedly. Philip did not comment. After a few pleasantries, he wandered around with Rabbit. Selma and her people had no time for Philip. They finally found their predecessors, so they had many questions to solve. Philip was most interested in getting to the bottom of this mysterious place. It felt more like a cage designed to trap them. It was devoid of rich energy and other resources suitable for them. What was the purpose of the person b
A woman like Arachne who pursued her own happiness was usually frowned upon. A person who was willing to sacrifice for the family would be recorded in history forever. Weaver patted Ariadna's shoulder expectantly, believing she could carry it out. After all, he did not know what had happened between them earlier. Everything was a big mistake. “I don’t think I can complete this difficult task,” Ariadna said nervously, afraid that Weaver would put too much hope on her. Ariadna knew that Rabbit had a grudge against her. Moreover, some of her actions had offended Philip, who might ignore her because of that. Thinking of this, she wanted to decline the task, but Weaver was very firm about his decision. “As the holy maiden of the family, this task is yours. No one else can do it but you.” Weaver put Ariadna on a high pedestal, so all the pressure fell on her. Weaver left with the others, leaving the poor holy maiden behind. Arachne looked at Ariadna resentfully. The opportunity
“You never considered the consequences when you tried to take advantage of us. We brought them here, and they have the right to choose. Don't think about taking advantage.” Philip nodded at Fitz’s attitude. Sure enough, he liked this earnest man and was happy with his point of view. “If you want something, you need to pay a price for it. As I mentioned, I’m a businessman, so I prefer fair trade. I’m more than happy if you want to discuss a deal with me.” In fact, they had reached an agreement before the spider people arrived. Philip would not help the other three races for free, but he was not bad enough to charge them fees either. However, the spider people were different. Not to mention that Philip had a bad impression of them, but Rabbit’s grudge also remained unavenged. The spider people scowled at Philip’s disrespect, which was simply outrageous. The other races laughed gloatingly. The spider people had always been arrogant and domineering, preventing their developme
“I'm afraid that the snake people will strike a deal with him and monopolize everything.” The old man anxiously led everyone in the direction of the snake people. They could not miss the chance to share a piece of the pie. However, he did not intend to tell his people about it. The other two races no longer existed in the outside world, so it did not matter if they could not leave. It would be best to let their legends fade away in history. That idea was very selfish. Just when he thought he could grab all the benefits by stealth, the snake people shared the information without keeping it a secret. However, the snake people only shared the news with the other two races. They did not have a good impression of the spider people and even had the idea of leaving them behind. When the spider people hurried over, they found a crowd. They saw not only the young ones of the snake people but also those from the other two races. The other two races were the turtles and magpies. Just li
The old man felt annoyed when he saw the two women not getting along. He knew that the holy maidens of the family would face a lot of struggles. Ambitious women would try every means to cause trouble just to destroy the status of the holy maidens. By doing so, they could find ways to replace them. It was an underhanded method but effective. After all, not everyone could cope with the distinguished status of the holy maiden. One mistake could be fatal. Therefore, a holy maiden had to be prideful and flawless, just like an untainted and pure white lotus. The old man nodded thoughtfully. He did not think that Arachne looked like the holy maiden, and his suspicions were confirmed. She was not the holy maiden at all. Actions spoke louder than words. Arachne did not carry a regal bearing, so she would not act like a queen even if she wore a crown. At first, the old man wondered why the spider family would choose someone so unbefitting for the role of the holy maiden. Now that
At this point, an old man walked over. Although they usually maintained their true form, they sometimes took on a human form. Unlike the snake people who did not look very different between the two forms, the spider people looked outrageous in their true forms. “Are you one of the younger generation from outside?” The old man was curious to see the younger children's arrival at this place today. As someone who could not wait to make an impression, Arachne rushed forward and began to introduce herself. In short, Arachne was gradually taking over Ariadna’s position. Although the others were annoyed, they did not say anything because Arachne was really putting in some effort. There was no point in arguing about such things. The most important thing was to remove their curse. The old man was very excited and could not wait to welcome them. “This is wonderful. It has been thousands of years since we saw an outsider!” His eyes gleamed with excitement. “Tell me how you got in,” he
