Philip did not have time to think about it and hailed a cab to hurry back to the villa. She was Wynn’s mother, after all. If anything really happened to her, it would be difficult for him to explain. The cab headed directly toward First Palace. Before he even entered the door, he could already hear Martha’s wails. “Ah, I can’t live like this anymore. I don’t want to live anymore!” Martha was in the hall right now, clamoring to hang herself. Even she did not know what her own objective was. Charles tried to persuade her on the side to no avail. When Martha Yates went crazy, she was the shrew among shrews. “What are you doing? Why are you suddenly trying to kill yourself?” Charles looked at Martha while keeping an eye on the door, feeling relieved when Philip finally returned. “Philip, please persuade your mother. She’s trying to kill herself and I can’t do anything about it,” Charles quickly called out to Philip. Philip put his hands into his pants pocket. He could t
“Damn… B*stard! Let go of me! I’ll call the police! Ah! Help!” Chloe was very drunk and could not even stand firmly on her feet, but she at least remained awake. She shouted angrily, but how could a weak woman like her be a match for a few hooligans? “Haha, don’t be anxious. We’ll bring you out for a few more drinks. I know a place where we can enjoy ourselves!” However, as soon as his fat hand reached out, a heavy kick landed on his back. He was slammed into the corner of the bar counter, screaming as blood gushed out of his head! Holding his head, the fat man got up from the ground and looked at Philip who was standing behind him nonchalantly. He roared, “Where did this brat come from? Are you tired of living?” “I’ll give you ten seconds to get the hell out of here!” Philip was obviously very angry, especially when he saw them molesting Chloe. Anger brewed in his heart! She was his ex-fiancée after all, so how could he allow her to be insulted like this? “What the f*c
Long before Philip even arrived, all the previous customers who were drinking and dancing had run away, leaving a few bartenders left in the huge bar. Philip glanced at the few figures that just arrived and could not help but sneer. Then, he simply sat on the sofa while resting his head against the cushion, ready to watch a good show. The group of people that rushed here for reinforcements saw Philip sitting on the sofa. Their bad temper from before quickly dispersed as they turned to look at the fat man. That guy saw Ray coming, so he ran over immediately before pointing at Philip and shouting, “Ray, you’re finally here. I was hit by that brat over there. He even hurt many of my boys. Get rid of him quickly!” Ray heard his words and noticed the look in Philip’s eyes. Smack! Before the fat man even finished speaking, Ray went up and slapped him viciously on the face until that man was dizzy! “Boss… Ray, why’d you hit me for? I’m Fat Bill! He hit us…” His face was full o
Philip simply took Chloe to a nearby one-star hotel. He opened the door and put Chloe on the bed, but this woman had thrown up quite a lot along the way. Both she and Philip were dirty all over. Philip looked around, turned his head, and wanted to leave. After all, he could not take care of others. Moreover, there should be a distance between a man and a woman. Even if she was his ex-fiancée, they should not stay in the same room. However, Chloe was obviously drunk and had vomited all over her body. Despite that, he restrained himself. He was not a monk! He could not do that! He put her on the bed and placed the quilt over her. Philip sat on the side of the bed and looked at her for a while, finding that Chloe was really beautiful from this angle! For an inexplicable reason, tears rolled down from the corner of Chloe’s eyes while she was asleep. Philip’s heart suddenly ached when he noticed it. Philip sighed. This lass must be troubled by something. Otherwise, she would
Philip frowned, stared at Chloe, and remained silent for a long time before he said, “No.”Frowning, Chloe turned around and ignored Philip, walking into the villa by herself. He was still pretending at this moment? Very well, then. She would see how long he could carry on the act. Seeing that Chloe had lost her temper, Philip touched his nose in embarrassment before following her. She was the one who asked him to attend the banquet with her, but now she made it seem like he had done something wrong. In the luxurious villa, many long tables were laid out with food and drinks served on top of them. Beautiful waitresses in uniform were walking around while dozens of young men and women were full of smiles and chattering with one another, each holding a wine glass. This was a private banquet, hence the people invited were all well-known rich second-generation entrepreneurs from the East Business District. They were not here simply to eat, drink, and have fun but to talk about
However, he had no other choice. He turned around and said to the young waiter, “Hurry up and apologize.” With tears welling up in his eyes, the young waiter gritted his teeth and said, “Manager, I just looked at her once. Why right does she have to hit me? I won’t apologize!” The woman frowned and said, “Excuse me? Did I allow you to look at me? You’re nothing but a lowly waiter. Who do you think you are? So what if I hit you? You’re poor, dirty, and perverted. No wonder you can only hide in a dark corner and peep! Pah!” The service manager frowned and said coldly to John, “John, hurry up and apologize. Otherwise, I have to let you go. I don’t need an employee like you here.” The young waiter’s eyes turned red immediately. He bit his lip and glared at the coquettish woman viciously. After a long while, he still forced out the sentence, “Madam, I… I’m sorry. I apologize for my behavior just now. I hope you can forgive me.” The woman sneered and mocked, “Forgive you? Why don
A glint of coldness flashed through Philip’s eyes. He narrowed his eyes and said, “Juan Parker, you actually employed such underhanded methods. Is it interesting?” Unexpectedly, Juan was also invited to this private banquet. Juan was startled and instinctively took a half step back, but when he saw so many people in the hall, he felt confident again. He sneered in his heart as he looked at Philip and said, “Stop bullsh*tting in front of me! How dare you molest a woman in front of so many people? I’ll call the police to arrest you! If you have anything to say, tell it to the police! I really didn’t expect this. Wynn is still in the hospital but you’re fooling around here!” Naturally, there were many women in the audience. When they saw how Juan stood up for another woman, they felt delighted. “Mr. Parker’s right. Arrest him! This person is too despicable!” “Where did this hooligan come from? How dare he barge into our private banquet! Security, get rid of him!” Just as eve
Especially in Riverdale, Juan Parker had taken the center spot recently! With three companies under his name, he had strong connections and funds! This was also the reason why Juan was invited to the banquet tonight. The main thing was, they did not expect a woman like Chloe Sommerset to be so intense. Her every word and every slap was so full of severity, and one could not help but admire such a woman! Especially the question that Chloe posed just now, would one rather molest someone else than her... This sentence made many men hot and bothered. It was simply too exciting! Philip looked at Chloe with a broad grin and said, “Miss Sommerset, I didn’t expect you to be so domineering.” Chloe took a sip of wine from her glass and said lightly, “Don’t call me Miss Sommerset in the future.” “Why not?” Philip was taken aback. Suddenly thinking of something, he hurriedly asked, “Did you quarrel with your father?” Chloe gave him an angry look, put down the wine glass, and cros
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
