Martha was terrified. Philip’s gaze was eerie, looking directly at her.What did he mean by that?“I hope you watch your step from now on.”Philip said coldly before turning and leaving First Palace. He got into Theo’s car and headed for the hospital.Now Martha was standing along in the villa, watching in a fluster as the crowd dispersed.That damned Philip, what was he being so high-and-mighty for?What did they even mean by the main and branch families?Martha’s chest felt tight with fear and panic.Philip’s last words to her gave her an especially inexplicable feeling.Was it a warning?Meanwhile, Philip arrived at the hospital and immediately ran to the wards. When he saw Wynn lying in bed and resting, his heart finally settled back in his chest.He sat on the side of the bed and gently touched Wynn’s fair forehead. The wound on her face was still so gruesome to behold.That cursed branch family!The flames of rage still burned in Philip’s chest.Wynn opened her eyes
That was just what Uncle Tim was like. Bold and decisive, just like an ancient military general.If that had not happened back then, Uncle Tim’s daughter would probably be about Philip’s age by now.To be honest, Philip rather missed his cousin.Was that brat Ethan Clarke doing well over there? Philip could not help but wonder.He hoped Ethan could pull through.After all, Philip had survived that place himself. Everyone in there was a genius in their own rights, and they had a really good way with words too.Philip hoped that the boy could shake off his terrible spoiled-brat attitude and reemerge a changed man.After he stayed at the hospital for a while, Philip stood up, about to go back to the villa and get something.On the way, though, he suddenly sensed something amiss.Philip paused and abruptly looked behind him. There were two blindingly bright lights coming right at him at breakneck speeds!The lights grew brighter and brighter. Anyone else would be temporarily blin
The scantily-dressed Vivi was quite animated. “I finally met you in person! You’re pretty good-looking, hehe.”Philip was exasperated, his face twitching. “We just happen to have the same name. I’m nowhere near that impressive.”Well, f*ck!Philip had forgotten all about that.Chase Fisher, huh?From the Dragonstone Mountain Race Course back then, huh…Vivi pouted. “So you’re not him? Aww, what a bummer.”Philip was rather flabbergasted. “Aren’t you worried I’ll do something to you, gorgeous?”“Nah, what’s the point of worrying? Now that I’ve seen what you’re capable of, it’s not like I can stop you if you do want to do anything to me.”Vivi said with a shrug, as though she was truly not worried about Philip at all.The black car behind them kept chasing Vivi’s car, but they just could not close the distance, perhaps due to the undeniable difference in the two cars’ specs!“F*cker! Is he a motherf*cking superman? How did he worm in there?”The driver of the black car could
Vivi slammed the accelerator and said angrily, “You jerk!”The men in the black car behind them did not expect Philip to pull that either, but it was too late by the time they tried to stop!More than ten armed cops rushed out of the station and surrounded both cars!Vivi pouted and crossed her arms in front of her chest, getting out of her car in a huff. She made a call and looked in the direction Philip had disappeared into, frowning as she muttered, “Just you wait, I’ll definitely find you!”The three would-be assassins were in much worse shape. They were dragged out of the car and pinned onto the ground, babbling in Thai.As for Philip, he managed to shake them all off and saunter back to the villa, whistling away.…At the same time, in a fancy presidential suite somewhere in Capital City…“Damn it! Those three are useless! They couldn’t even capture one man!”Marcus Quaid threw a fit, his expression stormy as he stood before the floor-to-ceiling window. He looked at the
Houston stood behind Blake, watching as the cruise gradually entered the port. “Why are you so nervous, Dad? He’s just a young master from the Quaid family, right? Do you have to be so scared? It’s not like we can’t live without their help.“Don’t forget, we have an even more powerful patron!”They had the Wallises from Golden City!Now, that was a powerful empire!Houston sounded quite miffed. He had only gotten beaten up because he tried to defend Marcus last time. At first, he thought that Marcus must surely be capable, since he was the young master of the Quaids and all, but after what happened last time, he realized that he had been mistaken.The Quaids from Capital City really were not all that. Their reputation must have been exaggerated.After all, they did not even dare to do anything to that trash, Philip.He had waited for so long, but the Quaids did not do a thing.So much for having four generals in one family!They were probably bluffing.That Marcus Quaid was e
Marcus stepped out of the Lincoln limo and tugged at his suit, looking up at the skyscraper in front of him. There was a cold smile on his lips.Behind him stood Len, Blake, Houston and the others.The security guards at Beacon hurriedly approached them with a bow when they saw this line-up.Blake invited Marcus into Beacon’s building with a gentlemanly bow, as though he truly owned the place.As for the young beautiful girls at the reception, when they saw that the visitors were Mr. Blake Michaels, the vice-chairman, and another extremely eye-catching young man, their first instinct was naturally to contact the chairwoman’s secretary.Soon enough, the news that Blake was here with a mysterious young man spread all throughout Beacon.Philip was in a good mood today. He was chatting idly with the other members of the marketing department, watching live streams with Julia Jones and the others as they snacked and gossiped. Just then, they saw Nina and a few others run out of the doo
“Madam Johnston, I came here personally. Don’t you think that means I represent the Quaids when I speak? Efficiency is most important these days, and a partnership will be a win-win situation. I’m sure you can read the trends, Mada, Johnston. No one in the entire Riverdale can compete with my family. If I say that Beacon can enter the top ten with us, I mean it. If I say that Beacon can enter the Capital City market, then you can. I hope you understand what I’m getting at, Madam Johnston.”Arrogantly, Marcus stood up and put his hands in his pockets, walking toward the floor-to-ceiling window. He looked out at the entirety of Riverdale and spoke with utmost certainty. “Our family has the funds and resources. We’re here today not only to discuss a deal with Beacon, but also with Everlast Glory, Starlight, and United International.”Marcus turned to look at Wynn, smiling confidently. “Beacon is merely my first stop here. You won’t disappoint me, will you? Madam Johnston?”Wynn frown
Marcus stood up and held his hands behind his back, telling the old man Len next to him, “Uncle Len, take her away.”Len nodded slightly. Wynn saw the old man take one step after another toward her, the pressure rolling off him in dangerous waves!“Sorry, girl.”With that, Len reached his hand out and grabbed Wynn!Just then, the door to the chairperson’s office flew open. Philip stumbled in, smiling sheepishly. “You asked for me, Madam Johnston?”They were at work, after all. He should not call her honey.Everyone in the office froze and stared at Philip, who was standing at the door.Some of the gazes were enraged, others suspicious, nervous, grateful, confused…As for Philip, he just walked in obediently and closed the door behind him.“Um, Madam Johnston, what’s happening here?”Philip had been standing outside for a long time now. He came in and feigned ignorance, though.“Philip Clarke! Well, well, you saved me the trouble of going to you.”The embers of rage in Mar
“Are you sure you want to go in?” Rabbit jerked awake from its daze and crawled out of Philip's arms. “In that case, you should choose someone who isn't afraid to die,” Rabbit said tauntingly as if it was ready to watch the fun. Yule was startled by Rabbit’s sudden appearance and nasty remark. Although Philip had not formally introduced Rabbit, he knew that Rabbit was Philip’s pet, a powerful creature that most people could not afford to offend. Although rich people would tend to mess around with similar monster pets, a creature like Rabbit that had developed intelligence and could speak to humans were few and far between. “With all sorts of dangers below, you can give it a try if you’re not afraid to die. Of course, I’d advise against it. After all, you’re very weak,” Rabbit scorned Yule while telling him the truth. It was very mean, indeed. Philip shook his head helplessly while Rabbit intimidated others. He was more determined to cook Rabbit now. “Based on the informatio
“Are these things good enough for you? You haven’t seen anything yet.” Yule was embarrassing. If his people dared to do this, Philip would explode. He would never allow his people to act this way. “Yeah, the pills and weapons we found along the way are simply amazing. I can’t imagine what we’ll find in the real treasure vault. I’m sure even you’ll be won over.” They did not encounter any dangers or difficult creatures along the way as if they had passed the test. However, they did not find any trace of the King’s Ruins either, which puzzled Philip. “Is the so-called King’s Ruins referring to these useless things?” Philip frowned and glanced around. If this was the so-called King’s Ruins, he would be very disappointed. Rabbit popped out and waved its paw at Philip, clearly trying to say something. “Philip, you’re too much. Do you really think these things are worthless? Maybe you don’t find them valuable, but they're seen as priceless treasures to others. Most people can’t e
“Yule's father is seriously injured, and his strength has reduced significantly. He’ll die if he can’t find an expert to cure him. Do you think Yule can act so arrogantly if his father dies? There’s no way he can do that anymore.” Mason’s words gave everyone the hope to replace Yule. Yule had used his identity to gain a lot of benefits in Deadly Arena. Although no one said anything, they longed to do the same too. “If you can do this for me, I promise you the same treatment. You'll enjoy no less than what Yule has.” Mason was confident that since Sienna was on his side, it would soon be his time to soar to greater heights. It would then be impossible for these people to mess with him. He could easily deal with anyone from Deadly Arena who dared to oppose him. With Sienna’s strength, he could do whatever he wanted. “As long as you help me get what I want, I’ll give you whatever you want. That’s a promise,” Mason said smugly. Everyone was surprised and looked forward to i
“I’m surprised that these golems are so difficult to deal with. I thought we could crush them easily!” “If we had known earlier, we would've taken our time and let Philip’s people deal with them!” Everyone regretted it, but no one knew what to do now that the golems were in front of them. Mason gritted his teeth and led the fight. It was a matter of life and death, and no one could be excluded. These golems were difficult for Lyle to deal with, not to mention these losers. They suffered heavy casualties, and everyone was injured to some extent. Fortunately, they brought a lot of supplies with them. They had many pills to heal wounds and could save their lives for the time being. “One golem caused us such casualties. We’ll be in trouble if more golems turn up.” Someone glanced at Mason in a panic. The same man who spoke gulped and expressed his opinion, “I think we should work with Yule and the others. Maybe we can quickly reach our destination with them. More importantl
Philip's men quickly divided the golems between them. Seeing several golems left unattended, Yule gritted his teeth and ordered his men to fight. They could not stand by and do nothing. Everyone quickly joined the fight, and Philip had a better understanding of their abilities. Yule and his men fought with all their strength, so their improvement was quite obvious. Mason and his people arrived one after another and saw the fight at a glance but did not intend to get involved. Since the other party was distracted by a powerful foe, there was no point in joining the fun. He even hoped that Philip could face all the dangers alone. “Let’s wait here and don’t waste time fighting. Don’t you see how powerful the golems are?” Mason was excited. As a weaponsmith, he had a passion for such powerful items. He drooled at the sight of the huge golems and wanted to take one for himself. Philip quickly got rid of many golems, which was an easy task for someone of his strength. However,
“Philip, we need to run. That thing is a bronze golem, and it’s freaking me out. Just look at it. I think it can kill me easily.” Rabbit was terrified, at a loss for what to do. “What? A bronze golem?” Philip was surprised to encounter something like that. Everyone gasped and became more interested in the King’s Ruins. It was very difficult to make a bronze golem. The craftsman had to extract the souls of large monster beasts and infuse them into a humanoid bronze golem. It was a cruel and grueling process. No ordinary person could produce a golem of this difficulty. Everyone grimaced at the sight of the golem and felt that it was difficult to deal with. “This golem is not easy to deal with. It’s a force to be reckoned with!” Yule winced, clearly trying to act tough. “We’ll probably be at a disadvantage if we fight that monster head-on.” After much deliberation, Yule decided to follow Philip’s order. It would be best if Philip was willing to fight. With Philip’s strengt
Philip’s men quickly left the spot. No one believed that Mason could last long. Before leaving, everyone left words of ridicule. Mason was so angry by their taunts that he almost passed out. “Damn it, I won’t let you off. Just you wait!” Mason yelled vehemently, wishing he could rip Philip apart. No matter how much he yelled, Philip had left and could no longer hear him. He and his group had returned to normal after a brief rest. Mason was anxious, but there was nothing else he could do. “Let’s go, everyone. We have no time to lose. Philip has surpassed us. At this rate, they’ll take the lead,” Mason urged the team. He had a feeling that he would lose the competition if he missed the head start. Everyone nodded in agreement. They gritted their teeth and moved forward. Philip and his team were in good condition and full of energy, but Mason and his team looked lethargic and pitiful. “Philip, I’m amazed by the effects of your pills. I feel as if you can do anything. Can w
“Wow, some people are in such a hurry to die,” Yule marveled at the stupidity of Mason’s people. They had watched as the door emerged and could tell how dangerous it was. However, Mason rushed in without a care in the world. “Let’s follow them. Since they've entered, there shouldn't be any big danger,” Philip said. Philip led them into the bronze door of the King's Ruins with a smile. His only concern was whether he could find something he wanted in the King’s Ruins. He had to find the Binary Herb. He could not let others steal it from him. It was an important material for alchemists and weaponsmiths. It was also helpful in restoring one’s strength. After his men entered the bronze door, Philip noticed that the door was quickly sinking to the bottom of the lake. “Hurry up. The door is about to close.” Philip was the last to enter and knew what he should do. They felt uncomfortable all over when they entered the door. Their internal organs seemed to be under tremendous p
Seeing that it was getting dark, Philip decided not to do anything at night. He told everyone to find a few big trees and set up camp on the trees. “We’ll set up camp for the night and set off tomorrow morning. This place is very strange, so it’s best not to rush in blindly.” Everyone was persuaded by Philip’s reminder. They nodded and started to set up tents. No one thought of making a fire. Anyway, practitioners were resistant to cold. They would simply feel uncomfortable in extreme climates. Very soon, the moon appeared above everyone's head. Suddenly, a strange sound came from the pool of water, and waves surged. A huge bronze door emerged from the bottom of the pool just like that. Water flowed over the bronze door with a thunderous roar. Gusts of cold wind whipped up from the bronze door, and the temperature nearby plummeted. Hearing this commotion, Philip and his friends emerged from the tents and saw these changes. “Could that be the entrance to the King’s Ruins?”
