“Umm, I’m not free tonight. Can we do it another day?”Philip could not help it either. When he said this, he felt countless daggers staring into his back.Nina’s expression changed slightly, but she controlled her somewhat disappointed emotions very well and replied, “In that case, let’s do it another day then.”After saying this, Nina trotted away from the marketing department. She had no idea how she managed to escape from such immense pressure. She just felt extremely fatigued.This was the first time she had invited a guy out for dinner and it was in front of so many people too.However, she had been rejected.“Is it because I’m ugly?”Nina hid in the bathroom, patted her delicate face, and forced out a smile to calm herself down.However, the smile on the corners of her mouth carried a trace of frigidity and the chill of conspiracy.At this moment, the entire marketing department had already gone crazy!All the male employees surrounded Philip and frantically chastised
“Perry! Don’t be rude!”At this moment, a distinguished old man with a slightly tired look got down from a Rolls-Royce not too far away. He was followed by a large group of attractively dressed men and women.“Grandpa, just look at this country bumpkin! Isn’t he just blocking your way by standing here?”The arrogant man immediately became respectful, supporting the old man while glaring at Philip.Philip was peeved. Who did he provoke by standing there?Did your family build the damn road?“Nonsense! How did I teach you? When you’re outside, you must convince people with reason and never judge people by appearance! Apologize now!” the old man said sternly and knocked his walking cane on the ground.“Grandpa… I’m just…” The face of the arrogant man immediately turned awkward.“Go now!” The old man repeated sternly.That guy seemed to be afraid of his grandfather. After hesitating for a while, he twisted his head toward Philip with an expression of dissatisfaction and resentment
Cynthia rolled her eyes at Melody and admonished with a smile, “Okay, don’t talk nonsense.”Melody laughed evilly and said, “Our dear Cynthia Larson belongs to the Larson family of Fernvale. Impressive, right?”Larson family of Fernvale?!Suddenly!Philip’s pupils constricted as he stared at Cynthia with a death stare.His mother’s family!The Larson family!Melody saw that Philip was dumbfounded, so she pushed him amusedly and said, “Don’t be so exaggerated. Everyone knows the Larson family of Fernvale. Don’t act as if you’re hearing it for the first time.”Cynthia also frowned and looked at Philip in bewilderment. This man was acting strange. Why did she feel that the look in his eyes was a little odd?Philip’s heart was shaken. It took him a long while before he recovered. His eyes were already red.He did not expect to meet people from his mother’s side of the family. Perhaps Cynthia might even be related to him by blood.Philip had attempted to contact the Larson family
Philip was unconcerned about those ridiculous words. His eyes were now entirely focused on Cynthia Larson.He wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Cynthia.Melody was a little unhappy and was just about to stand up to say a few words when she was stopped by Philip.Young ladies were indeed hot-tempered.At this moment, several flattering voices sounded.“Melody, I’m Peyton Hill. I’ve heard Marilyn talk about you before, but I didn’t expect you to be so beautiful in person.”“Melody, I’m Cedric Shore. My family runs a medicine shop. I hope that Melody can support us in the future.”“I’m Billy Dillon, your junior at school. I’ve seen your pictures before!”Everyone rushed to introduce themselves, most of them male and all of them quite outstanding in appearance. It was a pity that the reason behind their actions was quite obvious to outsiders.This was the daughter of Theo Zander, the underground king of Riverdale. Forging a good relationship with her would be greatly benefi
Kenneth almost could not control his expression. He laughed drily before saying, “Haha… Miss Zander has an arrogant personality.”When he said this, Kenneth’s expression turned visibly grim. A glint of cold light flashed across his eyes. He sat down quietly, glanced at Philip, and said, “Miss Zander, what does your boyfriend do?”Oh, was he trying to transfer the anger to him?Philip sneered in his heart.They were a group of typical rich second-generation, so the so-called little devious plots were nothing but monkey tricks in front of him.“I’m a food delivery guy,” Philip said nonchalantly.“Wow, he delivers food! What an outstanding talent! I’ve heard of your big name!”Kenneth suddenly praised him with a look of admiration. People who were not in the know would not be able to tell the naked sarcasm in his words.“Haha, Young Master Hane, your words are very interesting indeed. The person who can make an impression on you must be an incredible person…”Another man from the
Compare wealth?The f*ck!Everyone was stunned. Had this kid been struck dumb?He dared to speak to Young Master Hane in such a manner?Did he know what his family did?Did he know how much his personal assets were?He was just seeking death!Kenneth’s expression turned grim instantly. This was the first time somebody actually mentioned the word ‘money’ in front of him.“Brat! Do you want to die! You dare to talk this way. Is there anything on your body that can compare with Young Master Hane? You don’t even have the qualifications to be Young Master Hane’s watchdog! How dare you brag about money!”Peyton stood up first. He slammed the table and shouted!There were some words that Kenneth could not say, so he would do it on his behalf.Philip sneered and responded, “Oh, no wonder I kept hearing dogs barking. So you’re Young Master Hane’s watchdog.”“You… You’re going to die!”Peyton’s face flushed red. He never expected this country bumpkin to insult him like this!He gla
Melody was worried that Philip would act irrationally. She was present when he taught Simon and his gang a lesson back then. When this guy became aggressive, he did not care about the consequences!Philip smiled, patted Melody’s shoulder, and said in a low voice, “Don’t worry, I know my limits.”Arrogant! Too brazen!Kenneth was furious. He glared at Philip who was approaching him and said with a menacing grin, “Why, it seems that you’re unwilling to concede! Are you going to fight me?”He must pay a price for his arrogance!Kenneth was fully aware of his own strength. For an ordinary person like Philip, he could take on ten of him without a problem!Philip was just a worthless wretch who overestimated his own abilities!He could not help clenching his fists until his knuckles cracked!Whoosh!The sound of a strike!“You’re courting death!”Kenneth furiously slugged a punch into Philip’s face and a glint flashed in his eyes!The force behind this punch was immense. The form
“What are you doing!”Kenneth Hane hugged his broken arm, and his eyebrows furrowed into a line.“Don’t hit people in their faces and don’t laugh at other people’s poverty. What I hate most is being threatened and my brothers being threatened.”Philip sneered with ice in his eyes, making Kenneth tremble as he watched.“You… I dare you to touch me again!” Kenneth shouted, trying to embolden himself.The look in that guy’s eyes was too terrifying. When their gazes collided for a moment just now, Kenneth was already drenched in a cold sweat!“A load of nonsense!” Philip snorted frostily and raised his hand for a loud smack!The scene fell into silence! Deathly silence!He really dared to hit him!Crazy! Philip must be mad!This was everyone’s thoughts!Kenneth was stunned for a moment before he roared hysterically, “You… He…”Smack!Another slap from Philip—clean and decisive, without any hesitation!Everyone fainted!The expression on Marilyn’s face changed drastically. He
One of the trees was very big and had clearly lived for more than a thousand years. As Philip approached the exit, a tree whipped out a branch several yards long and slapped Philip. He noticed that the branch came from the biggest tree. “Sure enough, there’s more to it than meets the eye.” Philip backed away and dodged the tree’s attack. A deep pit was left where Philip stood. He frowned at the sight. The branch must have attacked with great force or it would not have smashed the ground to this state. Philip would most likely have been seriously injured if the attack had landed. Aslan and the others rushed over. “What’s going on? Is something up with that tree?” Everyone was nervous and stared at the tree solemnly. They felt that something was wrong with this place and had been keeping a close eye on Philip. Indeed, they noticed a problem with this tree. Rabbit pointed at the tree and yelled, “Philip, this big tree attacked you. Is it a monster?” Rabbit hopped around exci
Seeing Philip's confidence, the water monster became motivated and nodded with anticipation. It pointed out a direction to Philip. “Walk in this direction and you’ll see a large pool of water. You just need to enter it,” it told Philip how to go out. Philip nodded and took it into the Verge Tower. The water monster was stunned by Philip’s strength. It never thought that someone could control it so easily. As a powerful being, no one else could take it into such a space so easily. Obviously, it was no match for Philip. Philip had grabbed it so easily and locked it up in a space. “What is this place? Something doesn’t feel right.” The water monster examined the place, which did not pose any threat to it but gave it a very comfortable feeling instead. “Hey, the energy in this place is quite rich, suitable for practice. My strength would probably have soared to greater heights if that rabbit had locked me up in here.” The water monster quickly accepted its situation, already ac
“Do you mind if I keep a pet? I’ve developed some feelings for this guy and can't bear to kill him for the time being.” Philip was taken aback by the water monster’s weird mischief, but he had to admit that it was a good way of getting back at the grandmaster. Rabbit shrugged. He had no objection. Although the subject in question was the grandmaster, he had joined the wraiths. The rabbits always drew a clear line between love and hate. Joining the wraiths meant being an enemy of the rabbit family. The water monster smiled at Rabbit and gave him a thumbs-up. Everyone knew about the wraiths. “I always hear that the rabbits value friendship and loyalty, and I have to agree. This guy must be stupid to turn against you.” The grandmaster was shocked by the water monster’s strength. He had always thought that the other party surrendered obediently because it could not beat him, but it was just because it could not leave this place. “You concealed yourself really well. In that ca
Philip nodded after hearing the water monster’s remarks. “In that case, get rid of that rabbit. Show me what you can do.” Although Philip felt that this rabbit was difficult to deal with, he could still handle it with his strength. The grandmaster had only grown so big at the cost of reducing his strength. The water monster rubbed its hands excitedly at Philip’s agreement and pushed him aside. “Let me show you what I can do. That guy has been annoying me for a long time. I’ll let him have a taste of my fists!” It was simply goofing around with Philip when they fought earlier. Although it was scared of Philip’s exotic fire, it had been old rivals with the grandmaster for many years and had nothing to fear. “Old furball, get ready to die. After so many years, I think you've lived long enough!” After saying this, the water monster rushed to the grandmaster excitedly. Philip simply watched from the sidelines without getting involved. He could gauge their strength and see how
Due to that reason, the grandmaster captured the water monster and imprisoned it in this place. When his transformation into a wraith was completed, he could absorb the power of the water monster and use it to regain his strength. It was all part of his grand plan. He even triggered a conflict between the water monster and the rabbit family. Even if the water monster escaped, the grandmaster had nothing to worry about. The water monster would find ways to attack the rabbit family and would never leave them in peace. He simply had to assist the wraiths in destroying the rabbit family. “Something doesn’t seem right with your eyes. They're glowing green.” Rabbit suddenly looked at the grandmaster doubtfully as if he had discovered something. The rabbits’ eyes usually glowed red. Why were the grandmaster’s eyes glowing green? The grandmaster turned around to avoid making eye contact with Rabbit. “You don’t have to worry about my eyes,” the grandmaster said, obviously nervous.
“That rabbit has always shown up alone, so I don’t know who he is.” Rabbit said in embarrassment, “I know who that is. He’s none other than our grandmaster.” Although Rabbit had lost most of his memories, he remembered that he had a grandmaster who had a tuft of black fur on his head. His grandmaster was very strong, so he was always picking fights everywhere. If Rabbit was not mistaken, his grandmaster had tried every means to capture the water monster so that it could protect this place for him. “Your grandmaster is quite capable to have caught this water monster alive.” Philip could sense the water monster’s resentment and felt helpless about it. He thought that the grandmaster was quite inhumane. “Are you talking about me?” Before Philip could find out more, a voice suddenly rang from the side. Philip and the others turned around curiously and saw a white rabbit looking at them. Philip wondered if this was the so-called grandmaster they had been talking about. T
The water monster did not expect its army to be so weak that they could not withstand Philip’s attacks at all. It thought they could put up a fight, but Philip destroyed them easily. “That's not something I can control,” the water monster said helplessly. It could not expose the person behind him. “The person behind me is a force to be reckoned with, a powerful member of the rabbit family. Although I’m now under their control and I hate them to the core, I have no choice but to give in to them.” Philip said, “In that case, why don’t you tell me your story?” Philip was curious about this matter. After looking at Rabbit, the water monster chose to remain silent as if this matter was unspeakable. “Just speak your mind. This rabbit won’t do anything to you,” Philip said with a smile. Philip knew that the rabbit family was keeping a secret, but Rabbit had lost his memory and could not recall the past. After seeing Philip's reaction, Rabbit seemed a little conflicted as if wo
The many people in the group had to deal with a water monster each. The monsters were made of water, so no number of attacks caused any damage to them. Some monsters could even reproduce after being split into two. Philip frowned at this scene. Indeed, they were a force to be reckoned with. Philip and his team were dealing with the water monsters while Rabbit was bickering with the main guy. As the argument grew louder, the water monsters that Philip and his team were dealing with became more powerful. The water monsters appeared out of nowhere, but they were very strong. “We have to get rid of that guy or there'll be no end to these water monsters!” Philip was annoyed by this powerful opponent. They could not hurt him, which was annoying as hell. Aslan was caught up in the fight too. “These attacks of yours are just tickling me!” Aslan mocked the opponent. The next moment, the water monster waved its hand and froze Aslan on the spot. Aslan never dreamed that the oppo
Under normal circumstances, this monster would never get the better of Aslan. “Cut the crap. I’m not targeting you but this ugly rabbit. I’ll have fun with you after I deal with this rabbit!” The water monster stretched out its hand and grabbed Rabbit. To everyone, it looked like a gush of water rushing toward Rabbit. At this time, Rabbit chose the smartest and safest option, which was to hide behind Philip. Hiding behind Philip not only ensured his safety but also allowed Philip to help him deal with this thing. “Philip, I just recalled. This guy has a grudge against my rabbit family. It was captured and imprisoned in this place because it insulted my predecessor. This place is my family’s forbidden land!” Rabbit said excitedly, recalling many things. Philip nodded. He knew that this place was definitely related to Rabbit but did not expect that it was his family’s forbidden land. Thinking of this, he was full of expectation. A forbidden land should contain various treasur
