Steve was excited by Philip’s words. Although Philip was reprimanding him, he revealed some details too. Philip would not give him anything this time because he had just offended Philip and lacked sincerity. Steve believed he could get something if he apologized with more sincerity next time. It was normal for a powerful person to have his pride. A humble being like him would not dare to say a word. “Yes, you’re right, it was my fault. I wouldn’t have disturbed you if I hadn't been deceived by a villain.” Steve was very humble and planned to deal with Camden when he returned. It would be best to expel this guy from the guild. They would not have decided to deal with Philip if Camden had not given them the wrong information. Steve was happy that Philip spared his life. It was best if he remained alive. It would be a blessing if he could ride on Philip’s coattails. “That’s enough. You may leave. Bring me more gifts when you visit me next time, preferably ones that can sat
“There’s this place called the Heavenly Path’s Carrefour. I don’t think you have heard of it before. Anyone who can survive there is the chosen successor of the heavenly path. “Every year, the Heavenly Path’s Carrefour will appear in a different location, taking people who have the chance to enter that place. They can only return alive once they're identified as successors. “Even if they don't return, they can thrive inside.” Steve explained smugly. This was the result of his investigation over the years. He expended a lot of effort to find this information and was quite certain that it was true. Becoming the successor to the heavenly path was everyone’s dream come true. Who would not want to take charge of the heavenly path that could dominate everything? “Some people were not strong enough to withstand the power of the heavenly path and were killed in the process. Countless corpses will be transported out every year, and the sight was horrendous. “More importantly, the se
Steve was unlikely to lie about this. Moreover, he had been severely humiliated earlier, so he had no reason to give up pursuit. Based on Steve’s character and temper, he should have gone all out to join forces with other guilds to seek revenge. However, reality proved otherwise. His actions spoke a million words. Although Steve was useless in practice, Ted had to give credit to his brain. “What should we do next? We've offended him quite badly this time. If we don’t prepare generous gifts to show our remorse, he’ll never forgive us.” Ted did not know what to do. He was a failure when it came to interpersonal relationships. “What else can we do? Kill Camden and Dwight and send their heads to Philip as an apology. We need to offer the treasures we've collected too!” Steve decided to go all out. After all, he had collected a lot of good things over the years. It was less embarrassing to offer these things, and they might catch Philip's eye. Ted scowled. He had collected man
Rusty smacked the table after saying that, ending the discussion. Seeing this scene, Ted waved his hand. “Hey, I don’t mean that. I want to tell you that I recently learned a secret…” Ted excitedly told Rusty about the secret he learned from Steve. Ted was all fired up at the thought of becoming a candidate for the heavenly path. The two quickly discussed it seriously. Rusty longed for it too. After all, no one would be uninterested in the so-called Heavenly Path’s Carrefour. Philip had no idea that the matter would turn out this way. He simply wanted to bluff Steve. That guy seemed silly and easy to deceive. Soon, Steve prepared a lot of treasures and went to Philip’s store again. He wanted to try his best to please Philip. These were the treasures that he obtained from various places with great difficulty over half his life. He felt the pinch at the thought of giving them away. Lyle saw Steve approaching with things in his hands from a distance and was surprised
At Riverdale Public Hospital. “Excuse me, make way!” Philip Clarke was carrying an unconscious little girl as he rushed into the hospital, yelling madly, “Doctor! Doctor! Quick, save my little girl!” The nurses and doctor who had rushed out quickly took the child from Philip’s arms, and entered the emergency room. “Oh, you can’t go in!” A nurse in an azure-colored uniform with a face mask stopped Philip from entering into the emergency room. Just then, the rapid sounds of high heels clicking against the ceramic tiles could be heard from the back, squeezing his heart with every click. “Philip Clarke!” roared a woman’s voice. ‘Slap!’ A crisp slap came in firm contact with Philip’s cheek. Before him, stood Wynn Johnston with an enraged expression as tears pooled in her beautiful eyes. “If anything happens to my daughter, I will never forgive you!” Her tone was cold and laced with full fury. This scene frightened quite a few patients and their family members in the hospital
Philip’s expression changed, frowning slightly. Seeing Philip in his delivery uniform, looking shabby, Lily pointed at the door and said, “Get out now, we don’t allow delivery men here.” “I’m not here for delivery,” explained Philip. Lily tidied her bangs before crossing her arms and said icily, “This is not the first time I hear this. Everyone that comes in here says they’re not delivery men. Please!” “I’m not. I’m here to see George Thomas.” Feeling exasperated, Philip headed inside after saying that. “F*ck! Are you mad? Didn’t you hear what I was saying?” Lily was furious. It was her first time seeing such a shameless delivery man who would just force his way in after being denied entry. Just then, a department manager seemed to have heard the commotion and came out with an ugly expression. “What’s going on?” “Manager Stuart, this delivery man is trying to force his way into our office!” Lily pointed at Philip and then continued with much disdain, “I’ll get security to
“It’s just money. Who said I didn’t manage to borrow any?” Philip glared viciously at Juan. Juan was dumbstruck as his expression froze. When the surprise was still evident in his eyes, Philip tossed the plastic bag in his hand in front of him and Wynn. The bag fell with a loud thud and rolls of cash appeared before their eyes. The corner of Juan’s eye twitched slightly as his lips trembled. His hands had subconsciously balled into fists. Wynn was surprised. She stared at the money Philip had tossed in front of them, confused, but then her expression immediately turned cold as anger surfaced in her eyes. Where did Philip get all this money? If he had this, why didn’t he take it out earlier? I even had to keep another man company by chatting happily with him! Doesn’t he know how tiring it is? “Here’s a hundred thousand. I’m paying you back all at once, including the past loans! Don’t ever come here again,” said Philip coldly. Juan did not take the money. To be frank, this
Wilson was now boiling with anger! That madman blocked the new boss’ Bentley! Was he looking for trouble? “Philip Clarke, what are you still standing there for? Get out of the way!” Wilson pointed at Philip and barked at him. Philip had only just parked his scooter when he received another round of scolding from Wilson. “Oh no! Philip’s done for this time. Brother Wil’s going to have a fit.” “Ten complaint calls, and this crazy guy still has the guts to come back!” “This will cost at least two hundred in deductions, that’s a day’s work!” A few staff were gossiping quietly, and some others were enjoying the show. Among them were some old staff who used to work for Philip. When they saw the man reduced to the point of having to become a delivery man just like them, they started becoming more mean toward him. Philip was already used to it. Just then, Mr. Tanks glanced at Philip coldly. He looked annoyed and asked, “Manager Young, is this your staff?” Wilson quickly answere
