She refused to believe this.Ruby did not believe this.Kyle and Jacob did not believe this either.Lynn also did not believe this.She knew what kind of person her brother-in-law was. He was just a spineless coward who lived off of a woman.He even borrowed money from everyone to cure his daughter. How would a man like him have 30 million to buy 100 BMW bikes?Where did he get the money?However, at this moment, Philip put his hand behind his back and said indifferently, “I never said I had no money. You’re the one who put a label on me. So what if I have no money? So what if I do? Everyone only has one life and this is the first time everyone became human. There’s no reason for me to submit to everyone else because I have no money nor power. Also, there’s no reason to bully someone because one’s rich or powerful. I didn’t ask you to be kind, I just wanted to tell you some principles.”Philip’s voice was resonating.Now that everyone’s eyes were on him, his words were amplifi
On the other end of the phone, a boorish male voice roared, “Which f*cker dared to offend you? Do they want to die?”“Tiger, you have to stand up for me. Sob…” Ruby looked so pitiful when she cried.“Okay, stop crying. Tell me who that is and I’ll f*ck him up for you!”On the other end of the phone, a heavily built man and a few of his men were eating at Jade Pavilion.It was none other than Tiger. At that moment, he was shirtless.Tiger was a hot-tempered person, so he was extremely irritable.Ruby was his lover. Anyone who crossed Ruby would be slapping Tiger across the face.He had to find that person!He had to make that person know that no one could touch his woman. He did not care who that was!Half an hour later, Ruby and the girls came to Jade Pavilion. Ruby still looked wretched at that moment. Although she redid her makeup, she also added some fake bruises on the corner of her eyes and lips. When they saw each other, she was like a sticky carp. She slid coquettis
Derrick was sitting in the middle of the meeting room. He looked at his staff and coughed. Then, he said, “I’m sure you’ve all heard of Mr. Zach’s dismissal. Don’t make random guesses. The reason he can’t stay as the general manager of the marketing department is because of his health. So, I’ve decided that Wynn should be the general manager of the marketing department of our company.”After he said that, applause sounded in the meeting room.Wynn was still spacing out. She was thinking about that mysterious man. She only came back to her senses when the person next to her poked her. She stood up hurriedly and said gratefully, “Thank you for trusting me, Mr. Hall. I’ll do my best.”Mr. Hall had already told her about the promotion earlier on.Wynn had already mentally prepared herself.After the meeting was dismissed, Wynn went back to her office. After a while, Rose walked in angrily and shrieked unreasonably, “Wynn Johnston! Why? You vixen! You must have slept with him! If not,
Should he pick up the call?Philip was confused. He called Agnes and told her what was going on. He said, “Muddle through this.”Agnes nodded and motioned with her hands to signify ‘okay’. She answered the call gracefully, “Hello, who’s this?”On the other side of the phone, Wynn was clearly shocked. She did not expect the other party to be a woman.Plus, her voice sounded nice.However, at the same time, she let out a sigh of relief. It was not him.Had she been overthinking?Hehe, right.Would she not know what kind of person Philip was?She pathetically came up with that illusion despite that.“Hello, Mrs. Clarke. I am Wynn Johnston. Maybe you don’t know me, but I was saved in Celestial Club that day thanks to you.” Wynn had prepared a speech on how to thank her.“Oh, it’s fine. I’m just happy to help. We’re all women, and I hate it when men force women to do dirty things,” Agnes said. She was skilled in making conversation.As she said that, she glanced at Philip who wa
Philip snapped his fingers.After that, ten tall waitresses with slitted cheongsams walked into the private room in a single file. They were all holding delicate BMW boxes in their hands. When the boxes were opened, the BMW keys were displayed for everyone to see.At this moment, everyone was stunned.“F*ck me! What is this? BMW... keys? There’s about 100 of those. Philip, what are you doing? Are you changing your career to be a key maker?”According to their knowledge of Philip, he would never buy 100 BMWs just because he was a nouveau riche.However, he did spend ten million to buy the company and become the new boss.The BMW keys, though… This could not be...Suddenly, someone from the crowd sucked in a deep breath and yelled, “Gosh! Did you guys forget about the BMW bikes at the parking lot?”At this moment, everyone sucked in a deep breath.Right!There were 100 BMW bikes in the parking lot.They were still discussing heatedly. They were wondering which nouveau rich
Philip Clarke lifted his gaze and was met with a familiar face. That person was wearing an expression of mocking sarcasm.“Weslie Warren?”Philip frowned. They had been classmates during their university days. In fact, they both fell for Wynn Johnston, making them more of rivals to be exact.However, Wynn had chosen to be with the talented Philip Clarke in the end.In regards to that, Wesley still held grudges.He was not any less of a man than Philip was as far as he was concerned. Yet, why did Wynn choose Philip over him?Not to mention, Philip did not have much going for him from what Wesley had heard. Philip’s plan to start his own business failed and he now resorted to earning his keep through delivering food. His daughter was diagnosed with Congenital Heart Defect, and his marriage with Wynn was no longer the way it used to be.The worse the turn Philip Clarke’s life had taken, the more hatred Wesley felt in his heart.It was only normal for men to hold grudges when the l
“Wait, Philip, hold on. Why the rush? It’s not always that we get to meet old classmates. Let’s talk for a little longer.” Wesley ran after him.Philip’s eyebrows furrowed further, his expression darkening. There was little he and Wesley Warren had in common. Philip would very much rather not deal with old classmates like him anymore.They had changed—changed into people of greater statuses.Philip shook his head and said coldly, “Back then, you were but a piece of trash to me, Wesley Warren. Though I did not expect that you’d still be a piece of trash now.” Wesley froze. “What did you say?”He did not expect a sentence like that to come out from the mouth of a good-for-nothing like Philip Clarke.He called him a piece of trash?Who was the real piece of trash here?“You think that now you’re the manager of Arc de Triumph, you’re at the top of the world? So cool now, are you? So you’re showing it off to rub it in my face? What’s wrong with us delivery boys? You think you’re
“Young Master, it’ll cost you 18 billion to buy Arc de Triumph as there are 50 branches throughout the entire country.”On the other side of the line stood George before the floor-to-ceiling window. He was reading off the data report in his hand. His secretary had gotten him a full list of Arc de Triumph’s assets and financial statements pretty much the moment Philip asked. “I don’t care how many billions it costs, I want it bought.” Philip Clarke sounded evidently annoyed. “Very well, Young Master,” George replied and made another call. Instantly, numerous direct calls were made from Riverdale to Arc de Triumph’s headquarters in Capital City. That night, a mysterious force began to operate secretly in Riverdale and Capital City. By the side, Wesley stared coldly at Philip and mocked. “Oh? It has been so long since we met. I see your ability to lie through your teeth has gotten better. Purchasing Arc de Triumph? What a bold statement to make.” ‘Who does he think he is, b
“Don’t worry. He’s not as powerful as you think. Besides, you can take control of my body at the critical moment, can’t you?” Abele patted her chest confidently. Hearing that, the mysterious voice stopped wasting its breath on Abele. They arrived at Philip’s residence at this point. They were surprised to find the door wide open as if Philip was waiting for their arrival. “That’s strange. Does he always leave the door open, or is he prepared to deal with us?” Abele was puzzled and pushed the door open carefully. Maybe the door was too old, so it made a creaking sound, which was quite unpleasant. There was no one behind the door. “What’s going on?” The ugly elves entered the garden but only saw some empty teacups with no sign of anyone. “They must have heard the news and ran away in advance or this place wouldn’t be empty now!” Abele was disappointed that they ran so quickly. In reality, Philip had stuffed everyone in Verge Tower while he watched the scene in a hidden co
“Take this pill and you won’t have to go around with this scary face anymore. Even if it doesn't scare our women, it's not good to scare other people.” Philip helped Loony as a show of his sincerity. He was a pitiful man, after all. “That’s great. I’ve not seen a pill for many years!” He seemed to trust Philip and swallowed the pill Philip gave him without hesitation. He looked very satisfied as if he was Philip’s devoted follower. After he swallowed the pill, his injuries healed before everyone’s eyes, and he was soon back to normal. Loony was surprised by that powerful force and trusted Philip even more. Philip set a barrier around Loony and gave him a room to rest. The barrier he set could shield Loony and buy them some time. He knew that the ugly elves were right on their tail, and it was also about time for the merfolk to find them. Philip would be in trouble if everyone showed up at the same time. Therefore, it was better to conceal Loony and take care of the thin
“I’m running out of time. I have a curse on me, and they can find my whereabouts. I’ll die if you don’t help me.” “You said you can help me escape from this world. What do you mean by that?” Philip was more interested in this topic. After all, everyone would think that the world of the gods was a good place. Why would anyone choose to leave? Unless that person was a fool. This world was full of energy and resources. If humans were not seen as outcasts, Philip could not understand why anyone would want to leave. “This world is nothing but a huge cage. Those people are unaware of it because they're trapped inside. No one knows that they're nothing but the playthings of the so-called upper gods. They’ll be abandoned once the interest wears off one day!” Hearing that, Aslan came to a conclusion. This guy was no doubt a mental patient who should be sent to the hospital for treatment. “Philip, do you believe him? I think he’s nothing but a patient from a mental asylum.” Aslan f
“What’s this vintage family?” Philip had never heard of this family in all the worlds he traveled, so he had no idea what the other party was talking about. “My family is proficient in voodoo and has always used it to embark on the path of practice. But our powerful practice makes us a prime target for those with ulterior motives too.” The people of this family were very powerful, so everyone envied them and tried to harm them. “The members of my family led a normal life back then, but later, many people were deceived into marrying people of other races. As a result, the offspring of such pairings became monsters without legs! “We'd only find one normal child among a dozen children, which is a great blow to our family. No one could accept it! “I’m the only normal child among my batch of children, so I have a distinguished status. Something happened to my family after I was born, so I’m probably the last descendant of my family.” Philip was very excited to hear the other p
Meanwhile, Philip sensed that someone was fast approaching them. “Everyone, watch out. I sense something coming for us,” Philip said warily. There was a loud knock on the door. Lyle walked over curiously and opened the door. He saw a disheveled man standing at the door and staring at him. It was a scary sight, indeed. “What the hell? Dude, don’t scare me in broad daylight! What are you doing?” Lyle cursed in fright. He never dreamed that he would see such a horrible scene. The man was covered in terrifying wounds, some so deep that the bones could be seen. He had clearly been injured for a while. His face also looked incomplete as if his flesh had been gnawed alive by something. He was just unpleasant to look at. Aslan and the others rushed over, curious to see what frightened Lyle so badly. Everyone frowned at the sight of the man, shocked by his terrifying appearance. “Whoa!” Even the talkative Aslan was at a loss for words. While he sympathized with the other party,
Sure enough, the pill was nothing special. Apart from appearing quite tasty, the pill had no other effect. It was considered a useless item. “Humans are quite good at making pills. It’d be great if I had that ability too,” Akash said eagerly. He had studied this topic with others before, but they concluded that no other race had the talent to make pills apart from humans. Philip continued chatting with Akash, all the time wondering who he was. He could easily tell whether the other person's face was real or fake. This person did not disguise himself. His face was real. “Philip, I sense something wrong,” Lyle muttered under his breath. He sensed a strange vibe. A strong fishy smell was coming from a distance. Philip immediately recognized the source of the fishy smell. Who else could it be but the ugly elves? Abele was heading to the city with her troops. They knew that attacking these people was a matter of life and death. “We need to watch out. Don’t give them a chance
At this time, Akash ran over as if he were shocked to hear that sound. “Did you hear a deafening sound just now? I felt uncomfortable all over after that as if something was staring at me!” Akash said in a panic. He was now very jittery and afraid of everything. “Don’t worry, it’s probably an explosion somewhere,” Philip said. Akash was startled as if he could not understand Philip’s meaning. “Explosion? Is it a demon? That’d be very bad!” Akash looked around anxiously, feeling nothing else but panic. “Anyway, this is strange. No one knows what’s happening, so let’s just take it one step at a time. If a demon appears, we have no choice but to face it.” Philip waved his hand, not interested in this topic. They would have to face it, come hell or high water. Akash nodded and sat drinking his cup of tea with a bad premonition lingering in his heart. “Let’s hope you’re right.” Philip sat down and felt that something was wrong with Akash’s reaction. He probably knew something
The captured elves would suffer various hardships and become the humans' pitiful plaything. To prevent it from happening again, Akash forbade his people from stepping into the outside world. Therefore, it was ironic for him to summon his people here. “Find a room and have a good rest while you wait for your people to arrive.” Philip pointed to one of the empty rooms. Akash was exhausted after a long journey. Even though he had drunk a pot of tea, his mental state was not very good. He would collapse very soon without a good rest. Akash nodded. He did not refuse Philip's kindness because he knew he could not hold on much longer. He felt very unhappy at the thought of the upcoming battle.… At this time, the place responsible for imprisoning humans was getting restless as if the barriers were weakening. “Comrades, keep it up. I can feel the barriers weakening. We can leave soon!” A man shouted, and his words motivated everyone. Everyone was excited and worked harder to bre
“That’s great. I knew that our sacred tree would never lie to me. Only you’d dare to help me in this situation.” Akash was moved to tears by Philip’s words. He never dreamed that Philip was willing to help him. “I’ll try to contact the other elf warriors and see if I can summon them. Our combat effectiveness will improve significantly with their help.” Akash went to a corner to contact the elf warriors using a special method. They would sense it if they were still alive. However, he forgot an important thing. Abele was once a member of the family and knew about it too. She could feel the call the same as other warriors. As Akash summoned the warriors, Abele smiled wickedly. She did not expect Akash to summon his people so soon. “This took no effort at all. I was thinking if I should use my bloodline to search for his trace, but he turned up right at my doorstep. How convenient.” Abele found Akash’s location but was puzzled by his choice. “Is he crazy? Why is he in the h
