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
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
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
Philip casually made a call to George Thomas. “George, help me check for the latest projects that Wynn Johnston is handling within Beacon Pharmaceutical. Is there a million-dollar order? Let me know who is the client and the person in charge.” From the other end came George’s respectful voice, saying, “Young Master, Beacon Pharmaceutical is one of the companies that the Clarke family invests in. I’ll get President Hall of Beacon to visit you personally.” Huh? Beacon Pharmaceutical is actually one of the companies our family invests in? My dad is too awesome! Philip suddenly regretted not inheriting the family business earlier. “No need to. Investigate quickly and have the client smoothen the whole process so that they won’t give Wynn a hard time,” said Philip calmly. “Young Master, I recommend you to just buy over that client’s company. You don’t lack the money,” George suggested. What the f*ck! Buy over? As expected of a butler from a wealthy family. Oh George, old man, do
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.

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.

“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
