Mason soon led his people away from Philip's location. Philip was still collecting the herbs and was not anxious at all. “Philip, are you sure we don’t need to hurry up? I have a feeling that Mason is up to something or he wouldn't be so confident. He was the first person to mention the King’s Ruins, so I’m sure he knows something. Maybe he even has a map of this place.” Yule was very nervous when he thought about the stakes. If they lost, would they really have to run around the city naked? That would be too embarrassing. He could never face anyone again if he did that. “Don’t worry, someone is already exploring the area and will map out the place soon.” Philip calmly ordered everyone to collect the herbs, and no one seemed anxious at all. Yule could only bite the bullet and bear with it. Since Philip was so calm, it would be embarrassing to act like an ignorant greenhorn.Very soon, Rabbit hopped in front of Philip. “Philip, I found everything you wanted to know. Don't
Philip held the map drawn by Rabbit and walked ahead without a care in the world. Since rabbits were creatures with keen senses, the route they took was relatively safe and bypassed all the danger zones. Mason was not so lucky. He had taken another more dangerous route. Something felt wrong about this route. “I feel that we’re going around in circles." “Yeah, are you sure this is the right way?” The people of Deadly Arena were puzzled, wondering what was going on. This path was not only full of danger, but they also seemed to be getting farther and farther away. Mason looked at the map in his hand carefully. He did not find anything wrong with it. “This is definitely the correct route drawn on my map. We just need to follow the directions shown on the map to reach the King's Ruins. We can’t miss the treasures there.” As Mason walked, he recalled Philip collecting herbs along the way. Maybe he could do the same. He said expectantly, “Pay attention to the plants you see
Mason scowled unhappily. However, he did not ask them to continue collecting herbs for him but led them forward. “Forget it. Let’s go on and leave the herbs alone.” Mason was not an alchemist, so he had no idea what the herbs were used for. He simply did not want to miss out on good things. “Listen up, let’s just focus on traveling and get this done.” Mason quickly rushed forward with the team. With his strength, it should be easy to catch up with Philip. However, he was sorely mistaken. Philip was calmly collecting everything he could find in his path. After all, it was too easy for him to reach his destination with his strength. Philip and his men went through a narrow road and arrived at a vast area. Philip saw a field of strange plants in front of him. “Are my eyes playing tricks on me? I see towering mountains here.” “You’re not mistaken. I see various birds, fish, and bugs in front. Wow, are we really underwater?” “I seriously doubt what I’m seeing right now. So
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
“Why are you here?” Wynn frowned and glanced at the Bentley beside Philip. Did he just come out from that car? Is this my wretched husband? Or do delivery companies now deliver meals in Bentleys? “I… I uh…” Philip stammered then swept a look at George who was smiling like a flower through the window. The old man quickly put out a hand and said, “Young man, thank you. It’s thanks to you that I finally found this place. Let this old man treat you to a meal next time to show my gratitude.” Philip smiled and nodded politely. “That’s okay, sir. Please take care on your way back.” The tone of his voice hinted to the elderly man to leave quickly. George did not say anything but smiled and nodded at Wynn before asking the driver to move away. Wynn froze in shock! Wasn’t… wasn’t that the chairman of Apex Group, President Thomas?! The wealthiest man in the city! And Philip was just in the same car with him! “Do you know George Thomas?” Wynn looked back at Philip, surprised. Philip

He could never face anyone again if he did that. “Don’t worry, someone is already exploring the area and will map out the place soon.” Philip calmly ordered everyone to collect the herbs, and no one seemed anxious at all.

Mason did not think the herbs looked valuable. He would have treated them as weeds and ignored them. Of course, his attention was not on the weeds but on Philip. “Damn it, you’re so persistent. I’m surprised to see you here.” Mason scowled. Mason subconsciously wanted to run away at the sight of Philip. The fear Philip caused him was too strong. Philip sneered at Mason and said, “I’m surprised to see you alive. I thought you were dead.” Indeed, Philip was surprised. Nothing happened to Mason on that terrifying snake island, and he returned in victory instead. He was too lucky for words. “Bad luck will only change for the better. It’s time to teach you a lesson now. Are you ready?” Mason said vehemently, hating Philip to the core. Yule watched on the sidelines, while Mason’s party sneered without a word. With various conflicts within Deadly Arena, Yule knew he could not control these people. “Since you’re so confident, let’s have a competition.” Philip did not intend to
“Mr. Yule is having the time of his life now. I heard that he has gained immense power. In short, we can't afford to offend him. I think we should think twice about this.” Although Mason was in charge of them for the time being, they were somewhat indignant about it. This guy had no ability but wanted to control them. What a joke. However, they wanted to find the Binary Herb for their goddess. On the other hand, it was difficult for them to fight head-on against Yule. “You losers don’t even have an ounce of courage. What’s the big deal with Yule? Once our mission succeeds, I guarantee that Yule can only kneel in front of you and beg for mercy.” Mason promised them many things. He knew that they simply wanted more benefits, not that they were too afraid. “After this is over, I’ll make a powerful weapon for each of you, something worth your while. Don’t worry about it.” Mason managed to convince them with empty promises. Everyone smiled brightly and knew that the plan went we
There was a large platform ahead of them that gave them a sense of comfort. “Philip, are you mistaken? I don’t see anything wrong around us, and I think I can already breathe on my own after arriving on this big platform,” Lyle said in surprise, excited by this finding. “Since we can breathe in this place, our preparations are useless,” Lyle added in puzzlement. Philip shook his head and said, “This place is very strange. We should be careful. We may get into trouble if we drop our guard.” Everyone approached the platform and basked in that comfortable feeling. “Sure enough, it feels more comfortable than breathing on land. This is amazing.” Everyone squeezed their clothes dry. They had never felt so miserable before. As practitioners, handling such matters had always been easy. Ordinary things such as water could not touch them at all. However, this seabed was very strange and drenched everyone to the skin. “Let’s move along this sea area and maybe we can figure out th
“Mr. Yule!” Although they did not know why Yule was there, they greeted him. “I’m surprised that Deadly Arena sent you to work for this guy. Don’t you know what a loser he is? You’d better watch out and don’t mess with my guys or I won’t let you off.” After saying that, Yule jumped into the sea with his men. Mason snorted as Yule vanished from his sight. “In that case, one pill won’t be enough.” He knew that they would definitely fight if they met at the bottom of the sea. Although he did not know how the other party could breathe underwater, he had to be cautious. “I’ll give all of you another pill each. Keep it safe. We have to find the Binary Herb at all costs!” Mason distributed the pills reluctantly. He was heartbroken and felt he had made a huge loss this time. He could exploit these people if there were no enemies to hinder him, but this situation did not allow for it. Mason hated Yule to the core for his disgusting behavior. “Sure enough, there are no good peo
Yule once thought highly of his strength and came to this area when he was a brash young man. “I jumped into the sea without hesitation and soon had difficulty breathing. Fortunately, I reacted quickly and climbed ashore in time or I would've been buried in this seabed by now!” Yule felt a lingering fear. Although he had Philip's Water-Repelling Orb in hand, he was still apprehensive. As a practitioner, it would be too embarrassing to drown in this strange sea. Philip noticed his fear and patted Aslan on the shoulder. “Give them a demonstration to put their minds at ease.” Philip winked at Aslan. Aslan and the others jumped into the sea and entered the depths, coming out again after ten minutes. “It feels pretty good,” Aslan said with a smile, swimming around happily as if he did not feel any pressure at all. “As expected of the Water-Repelling Orb made by Philip, the effect is simply wonderful.” Philip's men jumped into the water and swam around freely. Seeing that,
Hearing that, everyone looked at Philip curiously, wondering what it was. “Is that the legendary Water-Repelling Orb? That’s amazing!” Aslan and the others were very knowledgeable and quickly mentioned the name. Philip nodded and said, “As long as you hold it in your hands, the water won’t pose a threat to you.” Philip knew that half of the problem would be solved once they could breathe normally underwater. Everyone they brought was elite among elites, whether his men or Yule’s men. Things would be different once they could move freely. Philip and his party were so fast that Mason and his party could not catch up, allowing Philip to take the head start. “Philip, did you go through a lot of trouble to get this?” Lyle was surprised. He had heard of the Water-Repelling Orb. It was considered a rare treasure for ordinary people but useless for practitioners. This item would not play any role unless they had to visit a dangerous place such as the King's Ruins. “They're a
