After Juan left, Philip made a call. His entire body was engulfed with murderous intent. He said, “Investigate one person for me. His name is Juan Parker. I want to know all the people who are backing him.”“Daddy.”Suddenly, a childish and sweet voice called out to him.Philip turned his head, and there was a gentle smile on his face. He looked at Mila who just woke up. She was rubbing her sleepy eyes before she held out her hands to ask for cuddles.“Hey, Daddy’s here to visit you.”Philip walked over with a smile on his face. He carried Mila and started playing with her. They looked very happy.After a while, Anne walked in. When she saw Mr. Philip, a smile appeared on her face as she asked, “Mr. Philip, why are you here today?”Philip was playing with Mila’s toys. He smiled as he answered her, “I’m just here to take a look.”Then, he remembered something. He asked, “Oh right, how’s your brother?”After he said that, Anne walked over and knelt in front of Philip. She sobbed
Public clamor could obscure the actual truth, and Philip was unable to give a convincing explanation in self-defense.Philip roared, “Enough!”After he said that, he slammed the door shut. He looked at Martha who was still hurling abuses at Anne and asked, “Martha, what the hell do you want?”Martha’s mouth was dry. She took a sip of water and continued screaming, “What do I want? You’re doing this immoral thing and you’re not allowing me to talk about it? Let me tell you, this is not over. I’m going to call Wynnie now!”After she said that, she took out her phone to pretend to call Wynn. Then, she looked at Philip and said loudly, “I’m going to call her now! I’m calling now! If Wynnie knows about this, there will surely be a divorce on the way!”Would Martha dare to make this call?Of course not.She already knew that Philip was the one who bought First Palace.If she decided to make this small matter into something big, she would not get any advantages.She had to get her ha
“Really?”Martha’s eyes grew wide instantly. She was delighted as she kept praising Philip. “Oh, Philip, I was blind back then. I didn’t know you have rich parents. This is great! I’m going to treat you like my biological son. Come back with Wynnie tonight and I’ll make you both dinner.”Martha looked like a vile person who just had her dreams come true. She would become rich in just one night.The two of them walked out and went back to Longford Park. Philip contacted George beforehand, so everything went smoothly.When Martha saw her name on the certificate of property ownership, she was beaming.“Mom, you should go home first. I still need to take care of some things.”Philip left after he said that.Martha watched as Philip left. She rolled her eyes and muttered, “Hehe, do you think you can flatter me with just a name on a certificate? I want to see just how rich the Clarkes are.”How would it be possible for Martha to call it quits before she emptied all of Philip’s assets
Under the spotlight, Philip strode over to Wynn.Suddenly, hurried footsteps approached him. A bodyguard in a black suit stopped Philip hurriedly. He bowed and said deferentially. “Young Master, Madam Wallis is asking you to go back to Cirrus Manor. Master Tim is here.”Master Tim?Philip’s heart stopped. He turned around to look at Wynn under the spotlight and handed the rose to the server. He said, “I’ll be back in a bit. Tell her to wait for me.”After he said that, Philip turned around and ran out of Sky Garden Restaurant.A black Bentley sped on the main highway of Riverdale. It crossed Scarlet Bridge and headed into the mountain that was lush with greenery. Then, it arrived at Cirrus Manor.Philip could not calm himself after a long time. He frowned. Master Tim was back.Why was he here?Did something happen at home?The car stopped at the entrance of the manor. There were two rows of bodyguards in black suits along the entrance.The atmosphere was solemn, and Philip co
It was just like the family conscription order the previous time. Philip had to go through George and even asked for Giada’s advice.Even if they successfully maneuvered the military forces eventually, they would still be met with protests from the uncles and the dissatisfaction of the world-class seniors.However, now that he had the Sovereignty Seal, Philip would be able to maneuver the troops all he wanted and no one would dare say anything about it.That was Tim’s power and status.This was the power of the Clarkes.No country in the world would dare to go against the order of the owner of this thumb ring.When they saw this thumb ring, it would be as if they saw the Lord himself.Of course, there were three Sovereignty Seals.They were mutually restrictive.As for the remaining two, one was with Giada and the other one was with Philip’s biological mother, Charlotte Larson.However, Charlotte’s thumb ring was gone in that accident.Now, everyone only knew about the remai
Hudson smiled and did not say anything.The two of them parted ways, and Wynn went back to the villa. Her brain was occupied by what Hudson said just now.‘The person I keep seeing? I know him?’Philip flashed across Wynn’s mind. Could it be him?A lot of things had happened lately. When Wynn tried to connect the dots, she felt like she did not understand Philip at all.Who was her husband? What was he hiding?When she thought about that, she opened her bag and took out the bank card Philip gave her.She decided to check the bank balance tomorrow.One more thing.Wynn rummaged through her drawers and found the gold card that was imprinted with the word ‘Wallis’. It was given to her by Giada.Giada had told her that as long as she took this card to any shop with the Wallises’ name, she could find Giada.Wynn felt conflicted. It was not that she did not trust Philip, but too many things had been happening recently. She needed to verify this.Especially what Hudson had said to
When Wynn heard this, she felt uneasy. She asked, “Mom, how can you think of Philip like this? Don’t you know what kind of person Philip is?”“What kind of person is he?”Martha rolled her eyes sarcastically and said earnestly, “Wynnie, you won’t go wrong if you trust me. I went through this before. Philip is definitely a playboy. You have to prepare yourself. Let’s not talk about other things. We’ll just talk about this villa. We have to get our hands on this villa. That way, the three years you’re married to him won’t be a waste. You gave him a child and you have another one coming. If he decides to be unfaithful in the future and divorce you, what will you do?”“Mom, please leave. Can you stop spewing nonsense?”Wynn was extremely annoyed. Her mother really had the guts to say anything.After she said that, she took her clothes to the toilet.Martha was fuming. She sat in the bedroom and poured the milk into the rubbish bin. She scolded Wynn. “You thankless wench, you don’t un
After the unadorned and heavy door was pushed open, Philip turned around and saw a figure.The man had a red and golden cane with a dragon’s head. He was over 70 years old and was slightly hunchbacked. His eyes were squinted, and there was a slight smile on his face.He stood at the door like a mountain. Everyone in the hall did not dare to breathe in his presence.Even if he had restrained his temperament quite well, the reputation and talent in his bones were able to make Philip frown.Jack Wallis.The current person in charge of the Wallis family. Giada’s father.This person was extremely conceited and arrogant.He spent 40 years making the Wallises into the biggest family. They were just below the Clarkes.This person was also super ambitious.Behind Jack was a middle-aged man who looked about 40 to 50 years old. His hair was grey, and he was wearing a pair of black glasses. He held a briefcase in his hand and had a black suit on with a tie. He kept nodding his head, but i
Jamie was surprised by Philip’s easygoing reaction and immediately felt the gap between him and Philip. If Jamie were in Philip’s shoes, he would be worried, but Philip was confident instead. Jamie had a lot to learn from Philip. Jamie had no idea that Philip did not take Dennis seriously at all. Philip had too many capable people under his command. He was not concerned about Dennis at all. In comparison, Dennis could be considered the most useless person under him.… On the other hand, Rabbit arrived at the market. Rabbit was quite famous among the major families by now. As a non-human with a violent temper, he was in the center of attraction wherever he went. Someone tried to kidnap Rabbit once, but not only did he fail, but the person was also beaten badly. To this day, the kidnapper was still bedridden in the hospital. Rabbit’s notorious reputation had spread far and wide, and not just anyone could deal with him. At this time, many storytellers were at the tavern tal
People in seclusion would usually not receive any news from the outside world, so contacting them would be up to luck. Therefore, Lincoln's appearance was good news for the Hexa Guild. Now that the guild was under scrutiny, Lincoln's appearance would save them a lot of trouble. Lincoln stood on the spot, looking at the yard curiously. Philip had modified the yard, so it was full of energy. Any practitioner would feel the difference at once. Jamie and the others had discovered this fact but never asked out of courtesy. Everyone had their own secret. Maybe this was Philip’s secret. Lincoln closed his eyes and felt the abundant energy. He was reluctant to leave this place that contained tens of thousands of times more energy than the place he had chosen for his seclusion. Lincoln felt conflicted. He could practice much faster in this place if the energy level remained the same. Thinking of this, he could hardly contain his excitement to practice on the spot. Seeing Jamie nex
Lincoln had never met a monster beast with intelligence! After taking a closer look at Rabbit, Lincoln had other ideas. Philip was most likely a powerful person with extraordinary strength to have such a powerful monster beast as his pet. Dennis was not a fool. Philip had to be powerful and not a coward for Dennis to willingly follow him. Thinking of this, Lincoln showed Rabbit enough respect. “Mr. Rabbit, I’m looking for Dennis from the Hexa Guild.” The guild members behind him were full of disbelief at his courtesy. They had served him for a while and knew his character very well. Lincoln would never be so polite to ordinary juniors, so this rabbit had to be unusual. Thinking of this, their attitude toward Rabbit changed from disdain to admiration. Rabbit was shocked by their eccentric behavior and looked at them skeptically. Seeing their smiling faces, Rabbit decided not to make things difficult for them. Besides, they were polite. “Oh, you’re looking for Dennis. Come
This guild member could not forget how Hogster had always stolen his resources by force. Hogster’s ugly face made him sick. Although Lincoln was back, he had lost all confidence in the guild. He just wanted to return to Dennis' side as soon as possible. Although he was a member under the guild leader, Dennis was the one who had been helping him all along. In fact, if not for Dennis’ support over the years, even Alain would not have achieved what he had today. Hence, this guild member had always been grateful to Dennis. When Dennis left, he wanted to leave with him, but due to special circumstances, he stayed until now. Unexpectedly, it came in handy. Alain was excited to hear that. In Alain's opinion, such a lowly member would not dare to lie to him, so he had to be telling the truth. He knew that this was his chance to settle everything once and for all. Alain had been worried that Lincoln would blame him, but Lincoln was deceived instead, which was great. He had nothing t
Lincoln had a very good reputation, so the guild members dropped their guard and started to complain about everything. “Grandmaster, we've been having a hard time. Hogster always deducts our practice resources and gives them to the women he likes. It’s infuriating. We don’t even have that many resources to begin with,” a member said miserably. He had good talent, but Hogster did not give him any good resources, so his level remained stagnant. All his resources had been given to the women who had caught Hogster’s fancy. Lincoln scowled upon hearing this. How could Hogster take other people’s resources? He would not allow this to happen. “They also tried every means to arrange a political marriage with the Celestial Palace, but the agreement fell through, and they badmouthed the other party for it!” “They defamed the young lady of the guild, and now, they're furious at us. Their wrath is not a joke. Moreover, someone solved the side effects of their practice technique, but we'v
If Philip was at fault, Lincoln had nothing to say. However, if Hogster was the one who had caused all the trouble, he would not spare them. “I’ll get to the bottom of this. Now, tell me what’s going on with Dennis. Based on my understanding of him, he wouldn't betray the guild for no reason. He must have a reason for doing this!” Neither of them could explain what happened to Dennis. They could only say that humans were fickle. After all, they could not figure it out either. The person at fault would never admit their fault. Alain did not think that he was biased or thought that what he had done was excessive. He simply thought that Dennis looked down on him, which was why he decided to leave. Now that he was gone, Alain could say whatever he wanted, and Dennis could not defend himself. Thinking of this, Alain was very excited. He began to defame Dennis and shifted the attention away from him and his son. Lincoln scowled as he listened. Then, he returned to his room and summ
Alain was helpless. Although he had a lot to say, he could not do anything in front of Lincoln. Lincoln was stronger than him in every aspect, a force to be reckoned with. He was not someone Alain could deal with. Alain looked at Lincoln awkwardly. He wanted to appease his anger but did not know what to say. “You need to explain this to me. Why did Dennis leave? And I want to know why the guild’s reputation has become so bad. Did you do something wrong?”Lincoln heard that Dennis had been expelled and could no longer stay in the guild. Many people supported Dennis, so they were upset with Alain and tried to defame him. Hearing that, Alain knew that someone must have been talking behind his back, but he did not dare to lose his temper. He forced a smile and looked at Lincoln in a flattering manner. Before he could find an excuse, Hogster rushed over excitedly and said to his father, “Father, guess what I did to Philip? Hehe!” Hogster recounted his handiwork smugly without p
It had been years since the grandmaster went into seclusion for practice. He was not concerned about power. He once mentioned that he would not leave his seclusion unless he reached the top. Hence, no one expected to see him. “Grandmaster, you appeared at the right time. We would've been in trouble if you didn't come out!” “That’s right. Everyone is bullying us. Now that you’re out, you can help us.” Everyone complained about their grievances, feeling sorry for themselves. The Hexa Guild was in trouble, and they faced various problems too. All the major guilds were keeping a close eye on the Hexa Guild, waiting to see them make a fool of themselves. The Celestial Palace planned to destroy the Hexa Guild instead of letting them off. They could not accept the initial setup, so they decided to erase the Hexa Guild from existence. Hence, the Hexa Guild had been under great pressure, with the members wishing that someone could help them. Unexpectedly, a strong expert appeared.
Ronan was his buddy, and his wife's reputation was at stake. Philip could not stand idly by. He had to help. Jamie was very fast at ordering his people to make the matter public. No one expected another dramatic turn of events. Everyone thought that the young lady of the Celestial Palace was an unchaste woman for making that decision. Unexpectedly, the Celestial Palace found a way to solve the side effects of their technique. All the major guilds were in trepidation. Although the Celestial Palace’s technique was very powerful, the side effects reduced its allure. Now that that problem was solved, everything was different. On top of that, the holy maiden and other members of the guild showed their appearance in public. Regardless of gender, everyone was beautiful without any markings on their faces. After seeing this scene, everyone knew that the Celestial Palace was about to make a comeback. Carlos was very excited and thought that Vanna was a lucky star to bring so many
