The atmosphere suddenly froze! The bodyguards behind Levi wanted to rush forward! “Get lost!” Philip roared domineeringly, glaring at the two bodyguards. They were stunned on the spot, not daring to take another step forward. “Look, does your bodyguard dare to lay a finger on me? Everything you own, including the branch family, is given by the main family. Just remain in your place obediently!” With that said, Philip released his hold on Levi’s collar. Levi was so angry that his face was flushed red. In the end, he could not help it and taunted, “Philip, I really didn’t expect this. After seven years, you’ve grown up a lot. You’re no longer the taciturn and useless kid from before. Very well. Things have become interesting between us.” “Levi, don’t try to challenge me. Otherwise, I’ll make you regret it!” Philip threw down these final words, turned, and left. Standing in the rest area, Levi stared at Philip’s back, fury raging in his heart. This damned little trash!
“Is what? Do you know him?” Martha interrupted as she stared fixedly at Philip. Philip was taken aback. He saw that Wynn was also staring at him and explained, “Uh, yes, you can put it that way.” “Really? Why do I doubt that? He’s a rich young man with hundreds of billions worth of personal assets. You know someone like that?” Martha looked at Philip dubiously, her eyes betraying her contempt. This Philip started to become arrogant just because his family had some money. “I heard that someone’s family seems to be bankrupt,” Martha added. She met Juan a couple of days ago for a meal. At the dinner table, Juan told her that the Clarke family used to be very rich, but now they were bankrupt, so he was still a useless wretch. Therefore, Martha started to swagger around again. If not for her mistake last time, she would never have tolerated Philip for so long. How could a bankrupt wretch have the right to become her son-in-law? That was Martha’s thoughts right now. Phi
“What are you thinking?” Cynthia said while smiling alluringly. She turned and went in while swaying her full figure.Philip stood awkwardly behind the door before pretending to cough a few times and followed. Cynthia tilted her head and wiped her wet hair with a towel as she walked. She said, “Come here and have a seat. Why are you so nervous?” Her voice was sweet and soft with a tinge of coyness in her tone. Philip’s body went taut when he heard it. Following Cynthia, Philip sat down on the sofa in the living room of the suite. She walked to the coffee table and asked with a smile, “Tea or coffee? Or do you prefer red wine instead?” Wow, Cynthia was acting strange tonight! Philip frowned as he looked at her, wondering what tricks this woman had up her sleeves. With that thought in his mind, Philip shook his head and said, “Cynthia, why are you doing this in the middle of the night? Let’s just discuss business if there’s anything to discuss. I still have to go home afte
Philip laughed faintly and said, “Don’t tell me that you like me and are totally obsessed with me. Otherwise, I really can’t understand what’s the meaning behind all of your actions tonight.” Cynthia glared at him angrily before kicking him in the knee, saying, “Damn you. I won’t like you even though you don’t look too bad…” In the end, Cynthia blushed visibly and her voice became soft. Huh? What was this situation? This woman would not like him, right? “Ah, it’s all because of what you did. I forgot what I wanted to say now.” Cynthia glared at Philip. He pillowed his head on his arms and said maliciously, “I didn’t do you.” Cynthia frowned and asked, “What do you mean?” When she heard him cough awkwardly, she finally realized what he meant. She immediately blushed like a red apple and glared at Philip angrily. “Scoundrel! Pervert!” “Is there anything else? If not, I’d better go now. After all, it’s not good for a man and a woman to stay in the same room,” Philip sa
Suddenly, at the window, a flash of light hit Philip’s eyes. Huh? Philip’s heart suddenly tightened as his gaze became extremely sharp and filled with a piercing chill. He stared straight at the large French window that reflected himself and Cynthia! Abruptly, Philip chuckled and said, “I think you should come into my arms because something unexpected may happen next.” Startled, Cynthia’s face started burning in panic. She immediately scolded in shame, “Scoundrel! What are you saying?! How can you do this?! What about Wynn?!” Before she could finish her words, Philip suddenly pulled her into his arms! “You… B*stard! How dare you molest me?!” Although Cynthia shouted indecent assaults on her lips, her heart thumped rapidly and she kept pulling herself closer into Philip’s arms! Could it be that this man had finally come to his senses? Philip’s intensity was so strong that it made Cynthia’s heart thud, but before she finished scolding, the French window shattered with a
Cynthia stared at Philip in bewilderment, not understanding what he meant. At that moment, Rick rushed over, raised his leg, and kicked Philip's side fiercely! Bam! The person who wanted to sneakily attack was kicked directly in the chest by Rick and flew out like a cannonball, hitting the coffee table by the sofa! Everything happened in a blink of an eye. The remaining two assassins quickly sieged Philip and Rick! Both of them held double sabers and were ready to attack Rick, giving him no chance to survive at all! With a firm resolve in Rick’s eyes and his movements lightning fast, he raised his hand to grab one guy’s arms before snapping it broken with a loud crack! The other person saw the opportunity and pierced Rick's neck with two sabers! With less than a body’s distance from Rick, ordinary people would hardly be able to escape and could only die! However, at the critical moment, Rick turned his body and flipped behind that person before raising his hand for a
“Argh! I’ll talk! I’ll tell you! Please spare me!” The man had torn his mask to pieces and scratched his face until it was bloody. It was truly a horrifying sight to the eyes. Philip was pleased. It seemed that this pill was quite effective. He said, “Prepare more for future use.” “One million each,” Rick said solemnly. Philip’s face turned dark. This brat must have been too poor in his past life! “The Beauty Killers! The Beauty Killers sent us!” The man was enduring great pain to squeeze this sentence from his throat, then he cried and begged Philip to let him go. Philip’s expression sank as his brows furrowed! The Beauty Killers? He turned to Rick and asked, “Can you check?” Rick’s face also changed as he said, “No need for that. I know this group.” Philip snorted, looked at the other guy, and said, “If you don’t want this to continue, go back and tell your boss not to cause any more trouble for me. Otherwise, I have 100 ways to make all of you disappear from th
Philip had never heard of such an illogical request. Smack! He raised his hand, slapped her, and scolded sternly, “Martha Yates, have you forgotten your promise? Are you up to your tricks again?” The slap was so loud and clear that Martha was immediately stunned. She was originally angry, but now, she had come back to her senses. However, she was still dissatisfied and cursed adamantly, “Philip, why’d you hit me? I’m your mother-in-law! I just fired someone, so what? I don’t like Anne Foster! If she’s here, then I’ll go!” With that said, Martha covered her face and sat angrily on the sofa. Philip was too audacious! No, he was getting more and more audacious! If this continued, she would lose her position in this family. She must think of a way to suppress him! “Fine, you can get lost then!” Philip said coldly, not to be outdone at all. “You! You’re going to be the death of me! I must tell Wynn! You must get a divorce!” Martha threw the pillow angrily, glared a
Fitz felt particularly bad at the thought that he failed to protect his people. He vowed to take revenge. People of other races shared the same thoughts. Everyone thought that their people had gone out to seek ways to leave but were met with an accident. Unexpectedly, they were harmed by the spider people, which was simply despicable and unacceptable. “You just need to sacrifice one more person for everyone to leave this dangerous place and lift the curse from us,” Weaver said. Everyone's eyes turned bloodshot at his words, shocked that Weaver would say that so openly. “Hehe, you’re really bold to perform a sacrifice. Why not use one of your own?” Fitz laughed and stared at Weaver. Weaver scowled. Of course, the idea crossed his mind, but the records stated that they had to use other races for sacrifice. Using their own people as sacrifice would void it, so they had to use others. This would not only reduce the other party’s manpower but also save a lot of effort. However,
Philip wanted to figure out what the spider people were up to. It looked like they had been planning this for a long time, which was terrifying. He had to let the others know about this. Everyone had the right to know. Moreover, the pitiful magpie woman was scared out of her wits. Philip had to bring her home. “Let's go back now. We’ll explore this place later. Do you want to stay here or go out with us?” Philip looked at Celeste curiously. He did not think she was brave enough to venture out. Sure enough, Celeste tugged at the corner of her clothes as she pondered. “I'll go out with you!” Celeste finally decided after much deliberation. Since she had decided to follow Philip, there was no point in hiding here anymore. She had to pluck up the courage. Celeste had lived in the forest for very long and had never gone out before, so she was curious about the outside world. “I want to see the outside world!” Celeste said nervously. Philip simply nodded without a word. The
At this point, Philip sprang into action. He appeared in front of the other party, catching them off guard. “Who allowed you to kill people for no reason?” The spider people were shocked by Philip’s sudden appearance. They were frightened to see someone there, and he was none other than the human who had strayed into this place by accident. The spiders panicked and wanted to run, but Philip quickly released Puffy. The spider people could not escape because of the curse placed on them and also because of Puffy's existence. The passage only allowed entry, not exit. When anyone stepped into that passage, they would not only come under Puffy’s attack but also suffer a gut-wrenching pain. They felt something was wrong when they tried to escape. Someone noticed Puffy approaching them and yelled in fear, “It’s that deadly thing!” Someone recognized Puffy and ran away screaming. They had no chance of winning against Puffy, so they had no choice but to run. Seeing someone running aw
Philip could tell that Celeste wanted to help, but she was too weak to do anything. “Don’t worry so much. Let’s wait and see what happens. If possible, we won’t stand by and do nothing. These people are simply outrageous.” Philip did not have a good impression of the spider people, and this incident made it worse. “Not bad!” Rabbit hopped onto Celeste’s shoulder excitedly. Ever since he found out that Celeste had no ability, he liked her even more. He liked people who had no combat power. Except for that extra eye, there was nothing strange about her. Besides, she was quite a beautiful woman, so Rabbit was fond of her. “Philip will take care of it. Don’t worry about it. He’s an outstanding man who fights for justice. You’ll have a good life if you follow Philip, especially since you have that ability but are powerless to take care of yourself. I’m sure you need someone to protect you,” Rabbit chattered away. Rabbit knew how special Celeste’s ability was. She would be of gr
Celeste seemed simple and kind, and after she told Philip everything she knew, Philip and Rabbit gradually changed their minds about her for the better. “We actually learned such a big secret this time. What a surprise!” Philip exclaimed. He followed Celeste to the altar, which was very far away. Before they reached the altar, they smelled a strong stench of blood. Philip frowned at this unexpected development. Rabbit covered his nose in surprise at the strong stench of blood. “Wait, I don’t think it’s human blood.” Philip sensed that the blood came from the few pitiful races. “I can smell it. Except for the spider people, I smell the blood of other races!” At this moment, a soft sound came from the side. Celeste quickly pulled Philip and Rabbit to hide in the corner. Celeste had lost the ability to be invisible, so she could only take Philip to hide in a panic. She knew that they could not expose themselves. “Someone is coming. Stay here and don’t do anything. You’ll f
“No one ever comes to my place. You must be outsiders.” Celeste was curious, wondering who Philip was. Celeste knew about the four unique races, but Philip’s appearance and form did not fit any of them. “You’re right. I’m an outsider. I wanted to know something, so I came to the forest. It’s best if you can give me an answer. I don’t intend to harm anyone. If you can answer my questions, I’ll leave and remove the curse on you as well,” Philip persuaded her. He felt that the woman was quite sincere, different from what he imagined. In that case, there was no need to make things difficult for her. Besides, he did not feel a murderous vibe in her, so she had probably never done anything bad. Philip had no reason to make things difficult for someone who liked to hide and sing. “Go ahead. I’ll answer you if I know, but I don’t really know much. I usually stay in my own territory and have no contact with the outside world. Even the other races don't know of my existence.” Rabbit
Philip felt that there was no problem with his hearing. Someone was humming a song, and the tune sounded very strange and spooky in the dark forest. Rabbit frowned and nodded. He also heard the strange sound and was scared. “Who has nothing better to do but to sing here?” Rabbit nervously grabbed the corner of Philip's clothes, afraid that Philip would leave him behind. Philip shook his head. According to the others, no one would come here for no reason. Due to various dangers in the forest, they would only wander around the edge without seeking trouble in the depths. In that case, the abrupt singing voice was very strange, indeed. “Philip, don't be nervous. Stay calm.” Rabbit's voice was trembling. Although Rabbit kept telling Philip to stay calm, he was already freaking out, so scared that he nearly wanted to run away. Philip knew Rabbit’s character, so he did not comment. He simply observed the surroundings and listened carefully to the sound, which was so ethereal tha
Philip took Puffy along and quickly arrived in a forest where the other races usually hunted, so they should not face any danger here. As soon as Philip left, a woman appeared in the corner and looked in the direction where Philip left with a conflicted look on her face. “Should I follow him?” Ariadna had been left behind in the snake people’s village. She had no friends, and no one paid her any attention. Sometimes, they even displayed their ridicule and disdain for her. She did not get good treatment even though she was a junior from the outside world. In desperation, Ariadna decided to follow Philip. Unexpectedly, she saw Philip with a cute kid the next second. Ariadna was surprised to see that Philip had such a big and cute child. “Wait, that kid looks a little weird.” Due to the distance, Ariadna could not see what the kid looked like, but his color and body shape seemed different from that of normal people. After much deliberation, Ariadna decided to tag along, co
“I’ll look around and find out what’s going on. Don’t worry about me. Look for Ronan if anything crops up.” Philip decided to leave Ronan in charge. Ronan did not object. He knew that Philip wanted to train him. He rarely interacted with others, so he had poor social skills. He had improved with Philip’s help, but his skills were still nothing compared to Philip’s subordinates. He was deeply moved by the opportunity that Philip had given him. “Sure enough, heroes will emerge from the youth. You two will have a bright future!” Wren said excitedly. Philip did not comment. After a few pleasantries, he wandered around with Rabbit. Selma and her people had no time for Philip. They finally found their predecessors, so they had many questions to solve. Philip was most interested in getting to the bottom of this mysterious place. It felt more like a cage designed to trap them. It was devoid of rich energy and other resources suitable for them. What was the purpose of the person b
