Philip’s heart thumped when he heard the first half of the sentence. “It was a threatened abortion. They’re both fine at the moment, but your wife is too weak and needs to be hospitalized for observation.” The doctor said mildly, “The subsequent conditioning and antenatal treatment are very important. If something goes wrong, it’s easy to have a miscarriage. You'd better be prepared mentally.” The doctor left as soon as he finished speaking. Philip nodded vigorously in gratitude, then watched Wynn get pushed out of the operating room to be transported directly to the intensive care unit. Theo had arranged for it personally. In the ward, Martha sat on Wynn’s bedside in a considerate manner, holding Wynn’s delicate hand tightly. She said, “Wynnie, I’m here. Don’t be scared. The baby’s okay.” Wynn's eyes were red as she finally breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Philip standing at the door and said weakly, “Phil, why don’t you come in?” As soon as Philip wanted to en
Swoosh! A black commercial vehicle stopped at the entrance. The group of people dragged a man with broken limbs covered in blood and hung him directly on the lamppost in front of the door! After the group left, another group of people rushed out of the eight-story red building, looked at the man covered in blood who was hung up high, and were shocked! Instantly, the entire Golden City was in an uproar! Back to the Shangri-La Hotel, two hours ago. After the incident with the bald guy, Philip’s gaze swept across the hall. Those who thought of protesting just now were now silent! Too ruthless! He was the devil reincarnated! Blake, Houston, and the rest also shook in fear. They did not expect a useless man like Philip to act so harshly. “I’ll ask again, who touched my wife!” Philip roared once more. This time, many people pointed at Shirley who stood beside Houston! Shirley Wellington, who wore high heels and a short skirt, was terrified. She pulled Houston's arm ti
Destroy the Michaels family of Golden City? Blake sneered, his eyes full of menace. He said, “Philip, you’re really brash! Do you think the Michaels family of Golden City can easily be destroyed by a good-for-nothing like you? I’m a rich man worth hundreds of billions! How can you compare with me?” Pretentious! Was he under the impression that knowing Theo Zander was enough? This society was no longer ruled by guns and fists. It was connections and money! “Blake Michaels, you’re very sure of yourself. This is your strength and also your weakness. The Michaels family of Golden City will end in your hands,” Philip said mildly as a trace of chill appeared in his eyes. He had not dealt with the Michaels family because he did not want to alert the enemy. However, Blake did not know what was good for him and kept challenging his limits. He deserved death! Blake laughed, raised his eyebrows, and said, “Very well. I want to see what powerful means you have that can destroy th
Until now, Blake had not connected Philip to this matter. “Five minutes ago,” the voice on the other end said. Five minutes ago? Was that the time when Philip had made the call? Instantly, Blake stared at Philip and asked, “You did this?” As soon as these words were spoken, Blake started dripping cold sweat. The people present also realized that something was wrong! Right at this moment, someone held his phone and exclaimed, “Look at the trending news! The Michaels family of Golden City is currently under investigation. They’re suspected of smuggling, illegal fund-raising, and tax evasion!” “Also, the stocks of Michaels Corp took a plunge and plummeted by 30 percent. They’ve already stopped trading!” “Michaels Corp is suspended pending investigation!” All of a sudden, everyone in the audience looked at their mobile phones, and each piece of news was blasted out like a broadcast! Blake was utterly frantic! He quickly scrolled through his phone. As he read each pi
Giada watched all this calmly, still teasing the Persian cat in her arms while smiling faintly as she said, “Philip, why are you in such a temper?” Philip stood in the hall and was followed by Theo and his men. There was a total of 45 bodyguards in black suits! They were elites all carefully selected by Theo! Despite that, even with these men, Theo was still a little worried. As he could see, all the guards at Cirrus Manor were specially trained professionals! These people could easily take out his men with a flick of their fingers! Even so, Theo would follow Philip without any hesitation. “Giada, are you going to feign ignorance?” Philip's face was covered with frost, and his eyes were ferocious as he stared at the calm Giada. Giada put down the Persian cat and stood up gracefully. She crossed her arms over her chest, the diamond rings and jade bracelets between her hands in full display. She smiled breezily and said, “Philip, I’m your stepmother after all. Is this
Philip silently watched the enraged Giada and said, “Giada, now it’s my turn to negotiate terms with you. Remember, Miguel is on the highest floor of Golden Mansion now, 200 meters up. If he falls, he’ll be crushed.” Giada clenched her fists bitterly and said, “What do you want?” Damn it! She had been too negligent. She did not expect Philip to make early preparations! However, the Wallis family… How could anyone take Miguel away? There was only one explanation! A professional! Half an hour later, Philip left Cirrus Manor. Before he left, Philip walked up to Giada. Smack! A crisp slap was heard in the hall! Giada looked at Philip incredulously, stunned. She covered her cheek with her hand, her expression changing rapidly. Philip actually dared to hit her! “This slap is for Hannah! If you dare mention her name again in front of me, I’ll never let you off, nor will I let the Wallis family off!” Philip said sternly, his eyes reflecting the cold light like a sharp
Wynn sat up on the bed with Martha’s support, her face still a little pale. She took the cup from Martha’s hand and saw some ginger and lemon slices in it.“Wynnie, this is good for you and the baby. Drink it slowly,” Martha said with a smile and sat next to Wynn. With her kind and benevolent expression, it really made people feel warm. Wynn smiled slightly, took the cup, raised her delicate neck, and took a few sips. Martha watched as Wynn drank about half the cup. In her heart, she could not bear it, but at this point, there was no retreat. After drinking, Wynn lay down to rest. Martha’s emotions were in turmoil at this time as she asked, “Wynnie, how do you feel? Does your stomach hurt?” Wynn shook her head and whispered weakly, “It’s fine.” Martha was startled when she heard that. Was the medicine not working? Had it not taken effect yet? It was also at this time that Philip returned. He saw the scene just now, frowned, rushed in, walked straight to the cup that Ma
Martha had difficulty breathing. She suddenly felt that all her small movements had not escaped Philip’s eyes. That humiliation and that sort of urge that made her want to kill herself made her feel very uncomfortable. Charles was not a fool either. He picked up the packets and asked, “What is this? What has been swapped?” “Poison!” Philip gritted his teeth and shouted coldly as a murderous chill flashed in his eyes! P-poison! Instantly, the temperature in the ward dropped to a freezing point! Charles stared at Martha, full of uncontrollable anger! Bang! Charles also had a bad temper. At home, he just endured it most of the time, but today, he was livid. He went up to Martha and immediately slapped her on the face, following with a violent kick! “Martha Yates, are you still a human?! You actually… You did such an inhumane thing! She’s your daughter and he’s your son-in-law! You… You!” Charles trembled all over and slumped on the sofa, holding his forehead as a massi
At this time, Philip noticed something on the ground. He walked over and picked it up curiously. “Philip, that thing fell from the old octopus just now. I wonder what it is. Maybe it’s a rare treasure!” Rabbit popped out and looked at Philip excitedly, attracted by this shiny object. “Isn’t that the core of a monster beast? Wow, this octopus was so powerful that it could even produce a core! It’s a pity that it bumped into someone like me, who eats octopuses without leaving anything behind.” Philip collected the core that the octopus had developed for tens of thousands of years and grinned at the carcass that lay in his space. Only monster beasts that had practiced for tens of thousands of years could produce such a precious thing, so Philip hardly saw any. Philip had not killed any beasts with tens of thousands of years of practice, so he had only heard of it. “I’m surprised that this guy gave me such a precious thing. In that case, we must have a good meal to show our a
“Philip, I sense a weird presence. I think something is after us. Do you think it’s the octopus’ father?” Rabbit scowled, feeling they should leave at once. “Didn’t you explore the cave thoroughly just now? Did you find other monsters inside?” Philip frowned and explored with his senses. Although he was very strong and sensitive, he could not sense approaching danger like a monster beast. A normal monster beast could sense up to tens of thousands of yards but Philip could only sense thousands of yards at most. That was the ultimate difference between humans and monster beasts. Rabbit was worried. It did not consider this problem. “I was so busy looking for the way out just now that I overlooked this problem. Who would know that the octopus had a father?” Before Philip could retort, they felt the world spinning around them, and a huge tentacle hit Philip. Philip pressed Rabbit down and turned around to dodge as quickly as he could. He knew that a powerful being was here. “
“Haha, but I never planned to let you go either. In that case, don’t blame me for doing this!” The octopus' huge tentacle twitched as if it were going to teach Philip a lesson. Philip sneered at this scene. This little octopus was quite interesting. Although the octopus claimed that it would not harm Philip, Philip could read its thoughts from its eyes and actions. This octopus was more than met the eye. He would have died if he listened to its nonsense. “Hehe, I'm not hungry now. I’ll keep you and the rabbit as my food rations. Let’s see if you can escape my clutches!” The octopus swung its tentacles and sent all the surrounding gravel flying, creating chaos. “Philip, that thing is so full of itself. Let’s stop wasting time with it and leave at once. I've found the exit. It’s right in front of us!” Rabbit hopped up to Philip and pointed out the route it found. Philip let Rabbit go earlier so it could find the way out. Although Philip wanted to eat the octopus, he knew that
“I wanted to let you go, but I've changed my mind. Leave this rabbit behind as my supper and you can leave safely. Otherwise, you can never escape. Since you're here for the ruins, you won't leave empty-handed. Let’s make a deal.” The octopus seemed very confident that Philip would give Rabbit up. Rabbit glared daggers at the octopus, shocked that it wanted to eat it for no reason. “I know many secrets about this place. If you strike the deal with me, I can tell you some secrets so that you can go through the King’s Ruins smoothly.” The octopus seemed to read Philip’s thoughts and tried to convince him to agree to the deal.Seeing that, Philip pretended to be tempted. “Really? That's great. It’s a good deal to get so many secrets with just one rabbit.” Philip placed Rabbit on his palm and shook it in front of the octopus. “But you have to tell me the secrets first or I’m afraid you won’t keep to your promise. I’m definitely no match for you. I won't gain anything if you go
The tentacle’s target was the bird in front of Philip. “It’s really strange to see a bird in this place.” Philip grabbed the bird and threw it to the tentacle, which caught the bird without noticing Philip’s presence. Philip followed along, curious to see what the tentacle belonged to. The tentacle looked like it belonged to a squid, which seemed quite appetizing. However, Philip did not think the tentacle was an easy opponent to deal with. The other party was clearly a force to be reckoned with, but it was not very sensitive to its surroundings. Philip had been here for quite long, but the tentacle had not discovered his presence. It was clearly a creature with a poor reaction. He was very curious to find out what creature this tentacle belonged to. He followed the direction where the tentacle disappeared but saw no end to the path. His hard work finally paid off, though. Through his relentless tracking, Philip finally found the body of the tentacle but was surprised by
“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
