Instantly, these middle-aged women all picked up their bags and fled the living room in a swarm. “Martha, we’ll come back another time.” Before they left, they did not forget to say a polite remark to Martha. Very soon, the living room was left with Martha, who was flushed red, Philip, his wife, as well as Anne who carried Mila upstairs. Wynn held her forehead and looked at Martha. She was absolutely disappointed with her mother. “Mom, I’ve had enough of you. You’re a retired university lecturer after all. How have you become so unreasonable now?” Wynn asked helplessly. Martha was still irritated as she said, “Are you already so grown up that you can speak to me this way?” Martha was very angry that her daughter was so protective of Philip. She just did not like Philip. Even if he had some money now, Martha just could not like him. He was like her enemy from the previous life. “Mom, can you stop being so unreasonable? You know Philip is the one who bought this vil
Just as Wynn was about to drink it, the bedroom door was pushed open. Mila ran in crying, her small mouth pouting. She looked very sad. “Mommy,” Mila called out childishly and pounced into Wynn’s arms. Wynn had to put down the cup. She carried Mila and put her on her lap, laughing as she teased her and asked, “What’s happened to Mila? Why aren’t you happy?” Mila sat on her mother’s lap, inhaled her comforting scent, and said, “I want to play outside.” Wynn thought for a moment and said, “Okay, wait for me. I’ll bring you out to play, okay?” “Okay!” Mila nodded heavily, smacked a loud kiss on Wynn’s cheek, and got down from her lap. She pestered Wynn and pulled her into her small bedroom to show her the mermaid princess doll. Wynn could not help but oblige. It was her day off anyway, so she started playing with Mila. Anne started her cleaning duties. She walked into the master bedroom, saw the two cups of herbal tea on the table, took them downstairs, and poured the cont
Philip was supposed to meet Cynthia in a western restaurant. Cynthia, who was here early, was dressed very simply, but her appearance was not inferior to other women because of her good image and poise. Even in just a simple white dress, she was like a lotus flower in the water, attracting the eyes of most men in the restaurant. Cynthia noticed Philip walking in from the door and waved happily with a smile on her face. Philip also waved briefly and walked through the crowd toward Cynthia. He pulled out the chair and sat down. Cynthia grinned and handed him the menu. “This restaurant is newly opened. There are a lot of delicious dishes. You can look through the menu and see if anything interests you.” Philip obliged. He picked up the menu and thought for a long time before he ordered a few dishes casually. “That’s it. I don’t really know what to eat.” After that, Philip finally asked, “Cynthia, why are you looking for me? Is something wrong?” Larson family of Fernvale, his m
Philip shrugged but said nothing. Cynthia continued, “Perhaps everyone in the world thinks that Clarke Group is very rich and holds a capital flow of more than 100 billion, but in Capital City, there are many families better than them.” Philip smiled and said, “Cynthia, why are you saying this to me? I’m just an ordinary guy, not the young master you’re talking about.” This woman was very smart. She had guessed it. Cynthia did not say anything else. Right at this moment... “Cynthia Larson, you’re here too?” Suddenly, a noble and handsome man in the restaurant appeared in front of Cynthia and Philip. He looked at her with a grin. This handsome man wore a suit and looked quite decent. Philip was drinking coffee when he was suddenly disturbed. Naturally, he was a little unhappy. He glanced around casually and found that the other person was looking at Cynthia with desire in his eyes. Philip frowned and glanced at Cynthia. He found that she had already stood up and was
Chad frowned. Impatience was written all over his face. He sneered. “Brother, who the hell are you? I’m talking to Cynthia. Who are you to interrupt us?” “Excuse me, she’s my girlfriend. Is there something wrong with your eyes? Can’t you see she has rejected you? Why are you still here? Are you just looking for a fight?” Philip raised his face slightly. He could not help being amused at Chad’s frozen smile. He seemed to have used this excuse before. The words just came out automatically. Chad frowned and watched as Cynthia leaned against Philip. His hand was still tightly grabbed by Philip. A bout of fury suddenly welled up inside him! He almost exploded in anger, but this was a Western restaurant and he was the general manager of Worsett International Hotel. He naturally had to maintain his composure and display a gentlemanly demeanor. Chad smiled and touched his nose. His expression was changing rapidly. He stood up, glared at Philip, and said, “You’re her boyfriend? Ho
Chad looked at Philip provocatively and sneered. “It looks like you’re unconvinced, but so what? Tonight, Cynthia Larson will be my woman.” Smack! A loud slap resounded throughout the entire restaurant! No one thought that Philip would land such a fierce slap on the opponent’s face! Clean and decisive! Philip jerked his hand away, shrugged, and said, “Didn’t your mother teach you to speak and behave appropriately? Weren’t you taught not to be impertinent and arrogant?” Chad held his red and swollen cheek. He took a long time to react. His face immediately turned somber. He pointed at Philip and shouted, “You dare hit me? Do you know who I am?” “What has that got to do with me?” Philip looked at Chad as if he was an idiot. He was totally unconcerned about this Mr. Fadden. Chad held his face and was so angry that he was about to explode! When had he ever been slapped in public before? The other party was seeking death! “You’re courting death!” Chad roared furiousl
Philip and Cynthia were on the way home. To be more precise, Philip was sending Cynthia home. The latter finally could not stop herself and said apologetically, “Philip, I’m really sorry, I…”Philip immediately shrugged and said nonchalantly, “You don’t have to apologize to me. I understand. You can’t avoid certain business relations.” Since when did the Larson family start to swallow their anger and watch other people’s moods before acting? What position did Cynthia Larson hold in the Larson family? Cynthia lowered her head, fiddled with her fingers, and said, “Chad Fadden is the general manager of Worsett International Hotel. It happens that our hotel is currently collaborating with Worsett, so I’m afraid that rejecting him will affect our cooperation.” Philip nodded and said, “I understand. However, I still want to remind you that sometimes girls have to learn how to protect themselves. That guy obviously has ulterior motives toward you. If you agree to his demands for the
“Brat, you’re very gutsy, huh? You think I’m a joke?” the lead hooligan said viciously. He circled Philip, pulled at his clothes, and said sarcastically, “Looking at your little pale face and weak arms and legs, you probably can’t withstand a beating at all. We just want to have a drink and chat with your girlfriend. We’ll send her back to you tomorrow, how about it?” As soon as this person finished speaking, those guys all laughed and chimed in with a bunch of crude words! At this time, many residents were walking in and out of the apartment, but no one dared to stop them. The other party was obviously gangsters. Furthermore, every single one of them looked and dressed like evil villains too, so most people dared not be too nosy! This night, Gary brought a bunch of men specifically to close in on Cynthia and Philip. He received an order from Mr. Fadden of Worsett International Hotel to take these two people back! Chad Fadden was the general manager of Worsett International H
Rabbit hopped around the grandmaster and felt that the latter was not lying. Rabbit had weathered many storms with Philip. He knew that according to human legends, the elves should be noble creatures. They were always arrogant and avoided contact with other creatures. “Anyway, since we’re here, let’s take a look inside. Who knows if any surprises are waiting for us?” Rabbit comforted Philip, and Black Rabbit was startled by his words. “You seem disappointed by this discovery. It doesn’t make sense to me. Are you really not aware of this situation?” Amid Black Rabbit's confusion, everyone entered the territory to watch the fun. Since the guard was enjoying his wonderful life, he did not pay attention to the invaders. He was supposed to be on duty with another guard today, but he swapped the other guard out because he wanted to be on a date with this female elf. The two were having a great romantic time in the room. Philip and his people entered the territory of the elves w
Later, the humans attacked the stone monsters, leaving the stone woman the only remaining survivor. Then, the elves found her. In the end, she was enslaved and became the gatekeeper of the elves. “Don’t blame me for your bad luck if you refuse to believe me. The humans are not to be trifled with. I’m sure you guys are no match for them,” the stone woman said vehemently. She came here with good intentions to report her findings. She wanted to claim the credit, but the other party disregarded her. The stone woman fought Philip earlier and knew exactly how strong he was. Although she was weaker than the elves, she knew that Philip could crush them easily and they would not be able to do anything about it. The elf warrior who received the message did not report the incident but returned to his station happily. He had been flirting with his female companion before they were interrupted. He had finally found a suitable female elf after so many years of being single, so he had no
Black Rabbit squeezed out a flattering smile and nodded excitedly at Philip. “Don’t worry. I’ll lie to anyone but you. I’ve decided to see you as my master and follow you from now on.” Rabbit was disgusted by Black Rabbit’s flattering look. “We’ll arrive soon. Although that woman is a bit scary, she’s nothing compared to you.” Meanwhile, the stone woman arrived at the elves’ location. Since the forest belonged to them, and coupled with the natural characteristics of a stone, she was very fast and arrived at the elves' territory before Philip and the others. The stone woman knelt at the door and stared ahead in a panic. “Are the elves around? Please come out. I need to speak to you,” the stone woman shouted at the door anxiously. An elf walked out unhappily with a weapon in hand. “Why are you making a fuss here? Do you want to die?” The elves were very arrogant and would never allow such an ugly thing to make a fuss at their door. It was not only impolite but also affect
“I know how you managed to survive, but I’m not interested in it. Don’t worry, we’re not one of those people. I won’t do anything to you.” When the stone woman collected the stones, Philip realized that the stones were connected to the woman's body. The stones felt different from ordinary stones because they had been carefully nurtured by the woman, which was quite amazing. “Leave now. Stay no longer. I’m afraid to see humans now.” The stone woman trembled and took several steps back. She entered a cave and refused to show herself again. The stone woman had done no actual harm to them, and she was truly afraid of them. Philip waved his hand and led everyone away without further ado. He was not interested in that ugly woman. Black Rabbit hugged Philip's thigh in fear along the way, feeling extremely nervous. He had thought that Philip and his people were warriors of a certain race, but they turned out to be humans. After joining the humans, he had no way of backing out. He hat
Trapping her opponent with stones was the stone woman’s strongest killing move. Once this method failed, it proved that the opponent was strong—at least not someone she could deal with. At this point, she had no choice but to surrender. However, she had said so many harsh words earlier that she felt too embarrassed to back down now. “Why are you so strong?” Philip and the others did not hide their identities or disguise their appearances with fake ears and tails. The stone woman looked at them in puzzlement. “You don’t have any clear racial distinction, and I don’t sense any racial power in you. Are you humans?” the woman yelled in horror, shocked to see humans roaming freely in the world of the gods. Philip was puzzled, wondering how she came to that conclusion. He thought they looked pretty good. She could hardly determine that they were humans simply because they had no ears or tails. Seeing Philip's confusion, the stone woman knew her guess was right. These people in fr
“Are you looking for the elves? If so, you came to the wrong place. You might've had the chance to see the elves if you had taken a detour at the front, but now that you’re in my territory, you have no chance of getting out alive no matter how strong you are.” Philip nodded at her explanation. “In other words, you’re nothing but a watchdog raised by the elves,” Philip said with a smile. The woman was furious by that remark. “Damn it, go to hell!” The woman waved her hand at the stones on the side, and the stones moved. Everyone watched her actions curiously. “Did you think I managed to live to this day by relying solely on my domain? Hehe, you’re greatly mistaken. I have exactly what it takes to deal with you!” The stones attacked Philip. They were not ordinary stones but humanoid creatures made of stones! They were very tall and seemed determined to crush Philip with sheer size. His exotic fire did not affect them. They were not ordinary stones, and stone was not afraid
The woman was clearly startled by Philip’s remarks. “That’s none of your business!” Before she could say anything else, there was a loud crack, and the domain that the woman was so proud of suddenly shattered. Everyone’s vision was restored to normal, and they saw an ugly woman in front of them. The woman stood in front of them, spitting blood as she glared at Philip with anger and disbelief. “How did you break my domain? That’s impossible! Someone of your level is no match for me!” Philip sneered at the woman’s confidence, “If you had other underhanded tricks, maybe I’d be no match for you, but your level is nothing worth mentioning." Although her domain was powerful for normal people, it was nothing to him. Philip had awakened his own domain ages ago, so he had done some research on this topic. In reality, he did not destroy the other party's domain with his strength but simply shrouded his people in his domain, which he had full control over. After everyone entered h
“No way! Then who held my hand just now? I felt a woman holding my hand. It couldn't be Katie, so who else could it be but you?” Everyone complained, and Philip felt something was wrong. “I didn’t!” Katie quickly clarified. Hearing everyone bickering over it, Philip said, “To be honest, I felt someone holding my hand too. If it’s not one of us, there must be other people in the dark. We need to watch out and don’t let them get their way!” Everyone scowled, surprised by Philip’s remark. At this time, Black Rabbit tentatively grabbed Philip’s pants. “I told you to hurry, but you guys refused to listen. There’s a strange woman who has been living here for a long time! She’s a force to be reckoned with. If possible, we should grope through the dark and leave this place quickly. Don't stay here any longer. It’ll be bad if we lose our lives here!” Black Rabbit said nervously. He had never been here but he had heard the legend of this woman. It was rumored that the woman would c
Black Rabbit had led Rabbit’s brother to join the wraiths. Although he regretted it, he felt proud to have groomed such a loyal subordinate. “Everyone, you need to give it your all. We have no time to lose.” Seeing the sky getting darker, Black Rabbit seemed worried. Everyone felt annoyed by Black Rabbit’s order. “You dare to order us around when your strength has been taken away?” Aslan complained about the arrogant guy. Black Rabbit looked at Philip nervously without a word. He knew that Philip was the final decision-maker. The others were Philip's subordinates. Philip did not notice anything strange. Black Rabbit was up to something. Philip did not think he would give them a warning for no reason. While everyone traveled as fast as they could, the whole forest went dark. Everyone frowned at this sudden change. They were traveling under the scorching sun one second ago, but their vision went dark the next second. Something was clearly wrong. “Philip, I can’t see y
