In truth, she wanted to ask Philip how he was going to settle the problem with Marcus Quaid.After she thought it over, though, she decided to let it be. Her husband was pretty mysterious.He probably would not let her interfere.Wynn got up and cleaned herself up, changing into clean clothes. Only then did Philip run back into the room, all smiles.“Do you feel better now, Wynn honey?”Philip wiped his sweat with a towel and asked her with a chuckle.Today, Wynn was dressed like a girl next door, wearing some exercise clothes and her hair tied in a ponytail.“I’m fine.”Wynn said, doing a few simple stretches. She showed off her figure perfectly, giving Philip quite the knock-out punch this early in the morning!“Are you going out for a walk?”Philip guessed based on how Wynn was behaving. Was she still tormented by what happened yesterday?“Yeah. I’m going out jogging for a bit.”Wynn replied, leaving the villa without hesitation in a jog.“Hey, wait for me. I’ll come wit
He then turned around and looked at the distant lake surface, his expression turning dark. He curled the corners of his lips into a cold smile and then kicked off against the ground, dashing toward the lake.Everyone thought he was useless trash.What they did not know was that he was rich, powerful, and also an inhuman fighter!Although he was not as good as Rick, he was much better than most normal people and even some trained assassins!After all, Reed’s demonic training was no child’s play. It was practically a suicidal regiment!On the surface of the lake, the female assassin codenamed Rosa was also observing Philip at the same time. When she saw that he was rapidly running toward her, she was quite startled!Was he even still human?Not only did he run at breakneck speeds, he even ran in a Z-shaped trajectory, making him impossible to aim at!Bang bang!Rosa pulled the trigger several times in a row, but the bullets just missed him!Or rather, he deftly managed to dodge
Rosa was furious. She kicked the deck, jumped up with the momentum, and performed a somersault!Philip immediately pushed the irritable woman away and touched his neck. He was quite fortunate. He almost got his throat cut!“I say, do you need to take this so seriously?” Philip shrugged as he asked.Rosa squatted on the ground, her eyes glinting with cold light like a sword ready to launch!“Again?”In an instant, Rosa dashed out and her double sabers were aimed directly at Philip’s chest!Philip was annoyed this time. A chill spread over his eyes. Increasing his intensity, he flipped sideways and raised his knee for a block!When Rosa finally noticed that her opponent leaked a trace of frightening intent, it was already too late!She was knocked away by Philip’s knee, crashed on the cabin, and fell heavily on the deck. It took a long while before she could even move!Philip crossed his arms over his chest and looked on coldly as Rosa struggled on the ground. He had not held ba
Wynn stared at Philip in bewilderment. She had no idea what he was talking about. “Phil, what do you mean? What about your identity?” Wynn was a little confused. Looking at Philip’s steadfast manner, it did not seem to be a farce. Could it be that Philip wanted to tell her about his true identity? Philip rubbed Wynn’s head fondly and said with a gentle smile, “Wynnie, don’t worry. Just leave everything to me. Make preparations for the press conference that will be held in Beacon Group's name. After this, there'll be new funds and new investors coming to Beacon.” New investors? Who? Wynn was very puzzled. She stared at Philip with wide eyes and suddenly tilted her head with a smile. “Has your friend returned from overseas?” Philip was startled for a bit before he replied, “Something like that. Go on and make the preparations first. The press conference is scheduled for tomorrow night. All the major media and related entrepreneurs have been invited, including Blake Michae
Back to a villa somewhere. For Houston Michaels, the past few days were not pleasant at all. His freedom had been restricted by his father and all his credit cards were frozen. He stayed at home every day, staring at the ceiling in a daze. Marcus Quaid, the second young master of the Quaid family, suddenly returned to Capital City two days ago. This had caused Blake Michaels to be overwhelmed and all plans were canceled at the last minute. According to the news received from Capital City, it was the eldest son of the Quaid family, Lawrence Quaid, who would replace Marcus’ position in Riverdale to plan the overall situation. A guy in a wheelchair was qualified to talk business? What was the Quaid family up to? Blake was not familiar with Lawrence, but he knew some secrets about the Quaid family. The fact that Lawrence could take charge of Riverdale indicated that something must have happened to Marcus. To avoid any unnecessary trouble, he decided to put his son in confinem
Blake hurried to Cirrus Manor and met Giada. This woman, Giada Wallis, was born with a glamorous and noble temperament. When she stood there unmoving, she was exactly like an iceberg with a cold demeanor. She was holding a Persian cat in her arms. “Madam, something must have happened to Marcus. I’m afraid that the Quaid family will not give up so easily this time. A disaster is brewing in Riverdale. When should we take action?” Blake stood in the hall while bending slightly, looking very respectful. Giada stood there with a calm expression and said in an unhurried manner, “I see. I'll contact the Quaid family. You can just do your own thing for now.” Blake nodded and asked again after a brief hesitation, “Madam, there’s something I don’t understand. Who on earth is this Philip who's so audacious that he can still be alive after hitting the second son of the Quaid family? Are you and he…” Giada’s face turned cold. She stared at Blake and said, “Don't ask questions that you s
“Tell Len, if he doesn’t bring that person back, he won't be able to return to the Quaid family forever!” Quentin flapped his sleeves in fury. The butler wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and nodded in response. “Yes, Old Master.” After that, he backed up and prepared to retreat. The intensity flowing from Quentin’s body was too scary, especially his battle-tested and murderous aura. It was absolutely daunting! “Wait a minute!” Quentin stood on top of the high hall with his hands behind his back. With his pair of ferocious eyes glaring, he coldly said, “Contact the Longford family of Riverdale.” After a while, the butler handed over the phone. Quentin answered the phone. There was a hearty and complimentary greeting on the other end. “Mr. Quaid, what has happened for you to call me in person?” “Hmph! Trent Longford, my son was incapacitated on your territory. Don’t tell me you don’t know about this!” Quentin said sternly, his face covered with frost. “Ah, you’r
After Philip and Theo left, Trent picked up the phone to call Quentin. “Trent, where is he?” Quentin was in a bad temper and asked directly in a cold voice. “Quentin, I advise you to stop while you can. The person Marcus offended is not someone you can afford to provoke.” Trent did not want to ruin his relationship with Quentin. After all, he belonged to the Quaid family of Capital City and had immense power as well as a profound background. Although the two were very close at one time, they parted ways because of an incident. “What are you talking about? Is there someone I can't afford to offend? Are you afraid to catch that person? Fine! I’ll personally bring my men to Riverdale!” Quentin was furious and roared angrily. However, on the phone, Trent just replied solemnly, “Quentin Quaid! This world is not owned by your Quaid family! There are larger forces out there! Don’t forget how your eldest son was incapacitated back then!” Lawrence? Hearing this, Quentin trembled
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
