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
At the Riverdale branch of the Clarke Group.The chairman’s office on the highest floor.Philip stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with his hands behind his back, looking out at the sunset outside. There was the red sky the color of wine and the busy streets below.Hudson Cash was standing behind Philip respectfully.“The Michaels family from Golden City wants to pull out of their deal with Beacon. Mobilize our businesses in the pharmaceutical industry to fill the gap the Michaels will leave behind.”Philip said calmly, his eyes faintly cold.Hudson looked pale. “Young Master, that might be slightly difficult.”“Difficult?” Philip turned around, his expression cold as he looked at Hudson.Hudson had broken out into a cold sweat as well, his waist bowed low. “Young Master, you don’t have the right to use any of the family’s resources anymore. Madam Wallis put a family restraining order on you, just an hour ago. She even froze the billion bucks you wanted to invest i
“What’s going on?”Philip walked over in a hurry and held her hands, asking her.Wynn sobbed, “They said that the villa doesn’t belong to us anymore, so they’re here to kick us out.”Philip frowned deeply. This was clearly Giada’s doing.Indeed, George had been the one who initially bought this villa, and he used the family’s assets to do so.Giada was well within her rights to take it back.However, this was mere child’s play to both Giada and Philip. It was more like she was just causing him trouble on purpose.“Stop, this is our home! What right do you have to throw our stuff out? This is robbery, it’s trespassing! I’m calling the cops!”Martha was covered in sweat as she desperately tried to stop the bodyguards in black.However, they ignored her and merely shoved her aside, sending her falling onto her butt on the floor.“Help, robbers! Daylight robbery! Oh, where is the justice?!”Martha just sat on the floor and wailed, slapping her thighs and making a scene.Her hai
Philip’s expression was cold and his fists clenched as he walked toward the guard he had sent flying.That was the man who had shoved Wynn and caused her to cut her hand open. He even shattered their wedding photo.He deserved hell!The guards exchanged a look and stepped forward, trying to stop Philip. One of them said, “Please leave the villa, sir.”Bam!Philip lashed out his foot abruptly, kicking the man who spoke in the chest. The latter fell quite a few steps back!“As expected of dirty Wallis dogs. You’re stupid enough to bark at me!”Philip said coolly, his eyes devoid of warmth as he stared at the dozen or so men. There was no hint of fear anywhere in his demeanor.That was how he held himself!Strong enough to stand his ground against more than ten men on his own!Anyone who witnessed this would think that he was overestimating himself.However, those guards could only swallow their protests and keep warning him. “Please leave the villa immediately, or else we’ll h
Meanwhile, Philip and Wynn arrived at the hospital, where they treated their wounds.Wynn was very worried. Looking at Philip, she asked, “Did those men say that you lost access to the family funds?”In other words, her husband was now penniless and broke, right?Wynn was worried that Philip would do something irrational as a result.Philip held Wynn’s soft little hand and said with a gentle smile, “It’s alright, don’t worry. At the worst, we’ll just start over. We made it this far, haven’t we? I can solve any problem as long as I have you.”Wynn smiled, tears in her eyes. Her heart was full as she leaned into Philip’s chest, saying, “If it really comes down to that, honey, I’ll resign from the company, and we can move out of the villa. I think my mom has some money too, so we can buy another house and start a small breakfast shop. How does that sound?”Philip hugged Wynn and nodded. “Sure, sounds good.”‘Don’t worry, honey, we’ll be fine.‘I’ll sweep away every obstacle in you
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
