The second young master of the Quaid family was hurt.Philip was so reckless.Riverdale would not be peaceful anymore.Back to Philip. After he got out of the hospital, he said coldly, “Investigate her. Also, any updates on the investigation on Hull Clan?”Rick followed behind Philip, looking as sluggish as ever. He said, “We can’t do anything about Hull Clan for the moment. That clan is a tricky one. They have branches all over the important cities in the country. The head of the clan is the Hull Organization. With the restraining order on you, we can’t do anything to them, Young Master.”Philip frowned. Things were getting complicated now.As per Rick’s explanation, if Juan was really the one behind this, then he would be able to exploit the Hull Clan, so was the Hull Organization involved in this as well?Philip would not allow any dangers to be around him.Especially now that he had a restraining order on him. He could not do a lot of things.He wondered how George was doi
Clank!Cynthia shuddered. She turned around and looked at Philip in disbelief.How did he know?“Who are you?”Cynthia’s expression changed. She looked at Philip cautiously.Philip chuckled and scratched his head. “I heard Melody and the gang saying that you’re from the Larsons in Fernvale. Are they powerful?”Cynthia frowned and turned around. She replied coldly, “You shouldn’t ask about this. I hope you can shape up.”After she said that, Cynthia walked away.Philip shrugged and walked into the elevator.Inside Room 8429, the atmosphere was tense. Wynn’s face was red and she looked mad. It was obvious that she was just in a fight. Blake and two of his subordinates sat opposite her with a female secretary. They looked like they were forcing Wynn to submit to them.“I won’t agree to this!”Wynn said coldly.Blake chuckled dryly and said profoundly, “Madam Johnston, I hope you understand now that Beacon has crossed the Quaids in Capital City. It’s impossible for you to stay
With a faint smile on Blake’s aged face, he asked, "Philip, I’ve heard about you a long time ago. You’re just a small employee of Beacon. Can you even negotiate with me on behalf of Beacon?"Philip crossed his arms and sat down while crossing his legs. He had an arrogant expression on his face as he asked, "Why not?"Blake frowned slightly. He looked at Wynn who was sitting beside Philip. Then, Wynn’s expression changed flawlessly as she said, "If you want to talk, you can talk to him, Mr. Michaels. He’s responsible for all matters related to Beacon."Philip turned his head, blinked, and gave Wynn a big thumbs-up. His wife was able to adapt very quickly.Upon hearing these words, Blake’s face sank. He did not understand what they were trying to do. However, he still smiled faintly and said, "Okay, let me talk to Mr. Clarke then."“Alright, what do you want to talk about, Mr. Michaels?”Philip squinted his eyes and smiled.“You should know that the person you beat up tonight is t
Wynn stood up hurriedly and said coldly, “Mr. Michaels, aren’t you worried that I’ll report you to the chamber of commerce for ganging up with the board of directors to pressure a local business?”“Hehe.” Blake chortled. There was malice in his eyes. “Chamber of commerce? Everyone in the chamber of commerce in Riverdale is from my side! Madam Johnston, if you’re smart, you should sign the contract like a good girl. If not, don’t blame me for turning my back on you!”“You!”Wynn pointed at Blake. She was so mad that she was going to explode.She had never seen such a shameless person before!Philip sighed suddenly and pulled Wynn behind him. He looked at Blake coldly before saying, “Mr. Michaels, what if we don’t agree?”Blake scoffed. At this moment, the door of the room was opened from the outside.Eight bodyguards in black suits and sunglasses entered in a single file. All of them had malice on their faces. One would feel scared looking at their tall and sturdy physique.In t
The corner of Philip’s eyes twitched. He made a fist with his right hand and punched the corner of the eye of the man who was charging toward him!Smack!There was a muffled sound!Under the strong impact, the man felt like his head was being struck by a hammer!His head was buzzing, and the whites of his eyes were quickly filled with blood!The man tilted his head and collapsed stiffly. It was unknown whether he was still alive or not.Then, Philip snatched a dagger from that person using that opportunity.Woosh!Philip lifted his right hand and the dagger made a whooshing sound as it was raised through the air.In the next second, another man who attacked Philip from behind felt a sharp pain in his raised arm.In an instant, that man’s entire arm was penetrated by some huge inertia!Blood started spraying out!That man let out a scream of pain. His whole arm was bloody and it looked extremely gory.At the same time, another man rushed toward Philip and threw his fist at
Wynn looked at Philip with shining eyes. At this moment, she noticed that her husband was looking extremely dazzling and bright.He was like a knight in the dark, always at her side protecting her.He would appear at any moment and give her the most secure feeling.If her husband was a man like this, then why should she bother with his identity?Wynn’s eyebrows were curved like crescent moons. She smiled and said, “Okay, I'll wait for you to tell me.”Philip touched Wynn's fair and delicate cheeks. Then, he said, “When I solve the matter in front of me, I’ll tell you everything. Then, I’ll take you home.”Right.Philip was ready to take Wynn and Mila home back to the Clarke Family.Philip was feeling very agitated tonight.The arrogance of the Quaid family and the uninterrupted manipulation of the Michaels were making Philip sick to the stomach.The Michaels had Giada backing them up, and that was why they were so fearless.Also, the woman they just met, Margot Pearson, was
Yale said a lot of tempting conditions in one single breath. Everything he said was extremely tempting, but Philip was not swayed at all.Philip grabbed his chin and shook his head. With a playful smile on his face, he pointed at Yale and said, “You, slap him. Don't stop unless I say so!”Boom!Blake was completely stunned!Philip’s request was beyond weird. He wanted Yale to slap Blake!Yale furrowed his eyebrows and looked at Blake who was kneeling beside him. He saw fear in his eyes.“Philip, I’ll strangle you to death!”Blake quickly got up from the floor and rushed over to strangle Philip!As a result, Philip raised his hand and slapped Blake loudly. Blake was distracted after being slapped like that.“Are you slapping him or not?”Philip stared at Yale coldly and said, “If you don’t slap him, I’ll slap you!”When Yale heard these words, he decided to forgo his relationship with Blake. He got up and slapped Blake's aged face with a loud slap.The sound of his slap was
“Yes.” Cynthia nodded. “If you have any ideas, you can help me make an appointment with your wife. I want to talk to her.”Philip did not understand what Cynthia meant. He asked, "Are the Larsons from Fernvale venturing into the mainland again?”Cynthia saw Philip's ignorant expression and smiled suddenly. “Don’t you worry. It’ll be beneficial to you and your wife.”Philip laughed dryly as well.However, at this moment, more than a dozen black commercial cars arrived at the entrance of Shangri-La. All of them were speeding over aggressively. Then, thugs with steel bats and sabers started getting out of the car one by one.“Huck, all of our best men are here!”A man ran to the backseat of the car leading the motorcade and said to the person inside through the window.As he said that, the entrance of the Shangri-La was occupied by 40 men now. They were all wearing black shirts and had tiger tattoos on their right arms. They were burly with scary-looking muscles. Some of them even
Another guest noticed Philip’s confusion and kindly explained, “It’s time for a break, or rather, time to prepare more money. Everything costs a lot of money here. Didn’t you see how many crystal stones that thing costs?” After hearing the other party's detailed explanation, Philip finally understood what was going on. The auction house was quite considerate. Worried that the guests would not have enough money to bid for the subsequent items, they chose to take a break. Philip felt a little annoyed. He thought he could quickly explore this world after the auction. This development was out of his expectations. Before Philip and the others could leave for a walk, an old man appeared in front of Philip, smiling brightly as if he wanted to have a good chat with Philip. “Young man, let’s have a chat. I know you put the pills up for sale. Don’t worry, I mean no harm. I just want to discuss a deal with you.” The other party's attitude was good, and he did not look like a bad guy.
No one thought highly of the stone but felt exasperated instead. “The function of the stone is nothing more than ripping off some money, just like everything else. I believe the lapdogs are looking forward to it.” Aslan only thought it was a complete waste of money and could not see anything special about it. Philip shook his head. He felt that this stone contained a special power. Moreover, Rabbit was fidgeting in his arms as if it wanted to get this thing. “No matter what, we have to buy that thing. We won’t make a loss either way.” Philip had many spirit mines, so buying it posed no problem. He could easily wipe the place clean if he wanted to. Besides, he had put some valuable things up for auction as a guarantee. He was sure he could get some good things in exchange. Philip quickly bought the stone. The audience was not interested in it, so Philip won it with one bid. At this time, an employee of the auction house took out Philip’s pills from the pile of auction it
Everyone examined Beck and found no problem. The result could not be faked. There was no way Beck was making things up about the pill. Besides, no one knew who provided the pill, so a cover-up was not possible. Therefore, the pill was genuine with no problem with it. The effects of Philip’s pills were the same as described, so they only tested one pill. They knew how precious these pills were. “Let the host promote these items. The highlight of our auction tonight will be the pills.” Beck immediately decided. With his experience and foresight, he knew the sensation this would cause. Everyone quietly waited for the auction to start. Suddenly, the beautiful auctioneer walked out and looked at everyone in disbelief. “I have good news for everyone. This time, we've received some very powerful weapons and medicines to heal our bodies, so we’ll be adding some items to the auction tonight.” Despite the announcement, they did not clearly state what they would add. They planned
Soon, the higher-ups at the auction house knew about the weapon, and everyone was very excited. Everyone wanted to take it for themselves. It would be great if they owned such a weapon. It was not only an honor to have the same weapon as the true god but also a symbol of status. Thinking of this, the higher-ups were eager to attend the auction. The appraisal had just begun, and the other items had not been appraised yet. “By the way, stop dwelling on that item and look at other things instead. What if he has other good things on hand? We would've discovered a hidden talent this time.” Elio calmly picked up Philip’s pill and studied it. “Isn’t this the favorite plaything of humans? I've heard it's called a pill, but I’ve never seen one in circulation. Ever since humans were banned, I’ve never heard anything more about it.” Everyone was quite knowledgeable and could tell its origin. “I don’t think it can hold a candle to our potions. Humans have never promoted pills, so t
The old man was an appraiser with a distinguished status in this auction house. Nothing would go wrong with the things he appraised. When he received the items that Philip put up for auction, he frowned in disbelief and looked at the things in his hands over and over again. “What is this?” He looked very doubtful as if he could not believe that someone would auction such things. “Mr. Wind, what’s wrong? Did someone send something weird to play a prank on you again? These people are really interesting, sending in some junk to pass off as treasures for the auction.” Seeing Elio Wind's awful expression, other appraisers joked and thought that someone had to be playing a prank on them again. “No, no one is pranking us this time. These things are the real deal.” He carefully held Philip’s items in his hands and studied them carefully as if he had seen some treasure. “This can be considered a B-grade high-quality weapon. It's almost perfect, just shy of reaching the next level.”
Seeing the other party’s appearance, Philip asked in mock surprise, “Why does this person look like a human? I thought there were no humans now. Why is he here?” Before Philip finished speaking, the man smothered his mouth as if Philip just mentioned some taboo. “Watch your words. That guy isn’t someone to be trifled with. “Back then, the humans left many descendants in the world of the gods, and this man is just one of them. Maybe you have heard of those ugly merfolk, but some lucky ones inherited the good genes between races. “Only those who have inherited good genes can wander around so openly. Ugly things like the merfolk have no right to appear in our world.” After chatting with the other party, Philip finally understood the situation. The people in this world were obsessed with appearance! No wonder he did not see any traces of the merfolk along the way. They had been exiled because they were too ugly. The genes that failed to produce a good match had no right to en
“This auction seems quite upscale to have the local authorities maintain order.” Philip marveled as he led everyone into the city, which was very crowded with people moving in one direction. Everyone was clearly here to attend the auction so Philip followed the crowd into a huge palace. “Wow, this place is so extravagant. I feel like a villager who has never seen the world,” Aslan marveled at this luxurious place. Since they did not have an invitation letter or proof of assets, they were assigned the lowest tier. There was nothing but some stools at the lowest venue, which looked empty and frigid. “This is too much. People who have no right to enter the venue are not even worthy of a cup of tea,” Philip sighed with emotion. Philip smiled brightly as he observed the surroundings. Sure enough, they saw no humans. The other guests looked weird but not ugly, definitely not as disgusting as the merfolk. “I can tell at a glance that you come from a remote village. You don't
“Let’s put that aside for now and talk about it after our situation recovers. The world of the gods is not big. I believe Philip can understand the situation soon. He may be disappointed by then,” Marina said seriously after sorting out her emotions. Now that her family was not around, Marina had to take charge. The others nodded without a word. They knew that they had to avenge this. Maybe everyone would have been killed or injured if Philip had not been there. Philip was hurrying along the way with his people and could not care less about the mermaids’ thoughts. With Marina's reminder, they knew that they had to abandon their human identity for now. In that case, they could pretend to be monster beasts because they already had some in the team. “Okay, you can show off your ears or tails from now on, the weirder the better. The world of the gods isn’t short of monsters anyway,” Philip said. Everyone sprang into action with great relish. It was quite fun. As they hurrie
“I think we should go out and find out more about this world. I can’t avenge my family at my current level. It's better to improve myself and make preparations for it.” Philip almost applauded Katie’s suggestion. He did not expect that she was a girl with such substance. Katie knew that she was very weak so she decided to prepare for it instead of looking for trouble now. “In that case, let's take a look around. It’s not too late to go after them once we find out more. We’ll definitely take care of them. You don't have to worry about this. We have a common enemy. I’m just afraid you couldn’t wait,” Philip said with a smile. Philip exchanged contact information with Marina and agreed they would not take revenge for the time being. Marina had things to deal with, so they went their separate ways. “You’ll find a large city if you head in this direction. The city is quite prosperous and filled with different races. By the way, it's best to disguise your appearance.” Marina poin
