“Slap her mouth!”Tim ordered coldly. The chill reflected in his eyes was as fathomless as 3,000 feet of ice!No one could insult the Clarke family, and no one could insult the future heir of the Clarke family!Hark!Two burly bodyguards behind Tim walked out. Without another word, one man dragged Martha, who was struggling and hissing, from behind Charles and held her in a death grip.“You, what are you doing? This is my home. If you dare to touch me, I’ll call the police!”Martha got a fright. She was struggling and kicking out wildly.However.The other person waved his hand!Smack!A crisp slap resounded throughout the hall of the villa.Now, Martha glared at Tim and shouted, “You dare to let someone beat me? Do you know where this is? This is Longford Park, the territory of the Longford family! This villa is mine! I’ll call the police to arrest you!” Martha yelled like a shrew, her cheeks red and swollen. “Continue,” Tim leaned back on the sofa and said coldly. Sm

“Martha Yates! You’re simply incorrigible! I’ve had enough of you! Don’t think I don’t know what wicked things you’ve done! Things have progressed to this stage, can’t you face the reality?”Charles roared and the whole living room resounded with his angry voice.Martha was stunned.She had never seen her husband in such a rage before.“You… You dare to hit me? You hit me!”Martha went mad and attempted to scratch Charles.Charles was getting a headache, so he shoved Martha away, entered the study alone, and locked the door from the inside.Martha sobbed and howled as she sat on the ground, beating her chest and wailing.“Damn you, Charles Johnston, you’ve finally admitted it. You despise me for being old and dislike me for being unreasonable, right?”Martha wept and bawled. “Divorce! I want to divorce you! I can’t stay in this family any longer! You and Wynn are turncoats, siding with Philip all the time. What’s so good about that wretch? He just has a bit of money now. Who k

“I don’t know, it just feels weird that such an important person has personally come to the company to discuss terms with you.”Philip muttered to himself. He knew that with Wynn’s personality, should Blake try to threaten her in any way, things would not go well for either of them.“What’s wrong with that? Beacon has worked with the Michaels for several years now, and their chairperson is personally dropping by to visit. Perhaps it’s because there’s some large-scale project involved. If we make it work, that’ll mean a raise for all of us.”The male colleague said with a chuckle.Ignorance was bliss, huh.While Philip was still fretting about how to handle Blake Michaels, the head of the marketing department Minerva Cain was already approaching Blake.All smiles, she said, “Mr. Michaels! You’re here earlier than expected. We’re still in the middle of preparing for your arrival.”Minerva was a professional, after all, and she chose her words very wisely. The fiery-red short skirt

“According to our current contract, Michaels Corp will only take 30% of the profit. At the board meeting, we decided that if we don’t pull out, we’ll have to pour a lot more resources into this project. That would mean an investment far beyond anything else we’ve risked so far, so we’ll need more potential profit to balance that risk.”Blake was very adept at reading the room, and his next words immediately shut down the chaos that had erupted in the conference room. “50%! We want 50% of the ROI, and we require Beacon to give us the patent and data for the new drug.”“Impossible! That’s not how business works! 50% is higher than we can afford. As for the data, we already agreed that it will only ever belong to Beacon!”Wynn’s expression turned cold and her tone sharp. “You’re violating the contract without reason!”Wynn was now extremely unfriendly to Blake. He was clearly trying to get everything for nothing!Blake’s eyes twinkled. He never expected Wynn to agree off the bat eith

Wynn had no way of knowing, and she did not have the time to wonder either.Blake chuckled coolly and stood up, patting down his suit. “You have much to learn, Madam Johnston. 40% is your bottom line, but 50% is mine. Again, take your time to reconsider. I’m in no hurry to get an answer.”Blake stood up and left.When Blake walked out of the conference room and passed by the marketing department's office, he suddenly heard a call behind him.“Come quick, Philip!” a colleague shouted.Philip had had nothing to do, so he went to the washroom, but then he heard someone calling his name as soon as he walked through the door.Blake frowned deeply, his face instantly ice-cold. He looked at Philip’s smiling face and imprinted that image into his heart!That was the man! That was Philip Clarke, the one his son had mentioned!The man who had repeatedly interrupted his plans.They truly were enemies, fated to meet. Philip could feel the intense hostility emanating from the man behind hi

At around three or four that afternoon, the company suddenly called for a management meeting, leaving everyone worried.To make things worse, someone somehow leaked the news that the Michaels were pulling out of their deal!“Damn it! Who leaked it? Who spread the rumor? Find out!”In the chairwoman’s office, Wynn was so furious that her body shook with rage. “Also, get every member of the management to the conference room for a meeting later!”Nina had never seen her boss so angry before, and she said hurriedly, “Yes, ma’am. I’ll get right to it.”With that, she hastily left the chairwoman’s office and stood outside the door to catch her breath.“What’s the matter, Nina?”That sudden voice startled Nina into looking up. It was Philip.“Why did you come up here?” she asked.Philip scratched his head and glanced at the chairwoman’s office, saying bewilderedly, “Madam Johnston asked me to drop by.”Nina nodded and suddenly reminded him, “Be careful what you say later. She’s rath

Smack!The moment Shirley spoke, Philip instantly slapped her across the face.Without an ounce of hesitation!Right in front of Houston, without a hint of fear!Shirley was stunned. She held her cheek, which had a scarlet handprint on it, and she looked at Philip with widened eyes for a long time before screaming hysterically, “How dare you hit me! Mr. Michaels, he hit me!”Houston was taken aback by Philip’s ferociousness too. The next second, he erupted in rage!Philip had smacked his woman before his very eyes!Houston pointed at Philip and howled, “The sheer nerve! How dare you! Don’t you know who she is?!”“I know. She’s your little honey baby,” Philip said off-handedly.“You!”Houston was so furious that his face was crimson, and he raised his hand, swinging it at Philip.Of course, he was no match for Philip. They had barely crossed swords when Philip twisted his arm and pressed him against the wall!“Let go! I’m the vice-chairman here! Lay a hand on me and I’ll fir

“Damn punk, you asked for this!”His expression darkening, one of the guards pulled the baton from his waist and rushed forward, swinging it down at Philip’s head!If that hit landed, it would definitely crack Philip’s skull!Philip raised a brow, his expression rapidly turning cold. His aura suddenly turned sharp as a knife!He never expected them to come for the kill like this!The next instant, Philip had taken the baton from the guard’s hand. At the same time, while the guard was still stunned, Philip lashed his foot out and sent the guard flying out through the glass window!Crash!The glass shattered and the guard flew out of the window. He crashed into the ground and stayed down!The remaining guard was terrified and trembling now. He hurriedly fell to his knees and begged, “Please, Brother Clarke, spare me! We were just proceeding on Mr. Michaels’ orders, please don’t…”Bam!Philip simply kicked the guard out of the door.The entire door fell on its hinges from the i

“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

“Now that the spider people have found new blood, I’m afraid that things will worsen.” At this point, Fitz sighed helplessly. Rabbit jumped out at this time. He hated the spider people. Hearing their shameless behavior, Rabbit was agitated. “Sure enough, those spiders are up to no good. Philip, why don’t we just get rid of them? Take it as revenge for me!” Rabbit waved his paw and looked at Philip excitedly. He knew that only Philip could help him. The spiders might not be strong, but they had strength in numbers. They were not people to be trifled with. While Philip and the others were chatting, Ariadna and her people found the spider people. Arachne was very excited and smug, waiting to take all the credit. “As I said, we can find something we've been looking for if we enter this place! Sure enough, following Philip can help us overcome all difficulties and find our ancestral land and predecessors. So what if they're trapped here? They must have many more treasures and secr

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
