“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
However, the only response she got was a kick! Philip kicked Martha cruelly until she stumbled. Then, he shouted grimly, “Martha Yates, don’t think too highly of yourself! You’re not worth anything in my eyes!” Martha got a fright. She did not expect Philip to make a move. She was both frightened and resentful as she cursed, “You dare to hit me? I’ll report you!” Smack! Her response was another slap, and another seven or eight slaps in a row! Philip went straight up to her, pulled Martha’s hair, and dragged her outside the villa as if he was dragging a dead dog, saying, “You still have 50 minutes. I hope you know what to do. If I don’t see Anne Foster back by then, we’ll settle all your past mistakes in one go!” Frost! Wrath! Martha truly felt the changes in Philip at this moment. She was scared and felt guilty, so she begged for mercy, “Don’t hit me anymore. I’ll go. I’ll go now.” After Martha exclaimed miserably, she tidied herself up with her face flushed. She
A powerful practitioner could see things without solely relying on vision. After surveying around, Philip felt that it was a waste of time and decided to take everyone out. No matter what, he had to get hold of what he wanted before the other party tried to wiggle out of it. They were about to return the same way they came when they saw that the way had been blocked by something unknown. Aslan rushed forward and tried to force it open but to no avail. It had to be something special that they could not overlook. “They used something to trap us here. Those people are quite interesting. Do they think they can keep us here? What a joke!” Lyle cursed angrily. Those people were too much to play such underhanded tricks on them. Moreover, Philip and the others did not intimidate them or try to take their treasures by force. They could have negotiated a deal over it. However, the other party’s attitude seemed a little abnormal as they had no intention of cooperating. “Buddies, l
“Also, I smell a stench on them. How did they end up with that smell of decay and fish?” Katie joined in the complaints. As a woman who grew up in a fishing village, Katie knew that anyone would somewhat smell a little fishy if they had been in close contact with the sea and sea products for a long time, but elves were legendary nobles and had nothing to do with fish. She could not figure out why they smelled like that. Philip simply moved forward without a word. He had no answer to those questions either. The cave was dark and felt a little weird. Although he could sense his surroundings, the cave was filled with a strange and off-putting vibe. “I’m sure that the elf queen is up to no good, trying to trick us into entering this place. She’s probably going to deal with us. I have a feeling that something terrible lies ahead!” Aslan cursed, shivering as he thought of the other party’s ugly appearance. No one disagreed with his words. After all, they had seen for themselves h
“Take a look inside the cave if you’re up for it. I can consider giving you what you want if you leave the cave alive.” Philip nodded with satisfaction at the elf queen's cooperation. Although he knew that this was the other party’s trick to send them to their deaths, she clearly underestimated their strength. Once he was given the chance, it would be no different than delivering the treasure to his doorstep. “I look forward to this challenge. If possible, I hope all of us can enter.” Philip was excited. In his opinion, this was a great opportunity. The elf queen smirked smugly at Philip’s eagerness to die. This was exactly the effect she wanted. “No problem. All of you may enter. You can name your request if you can return alive, and I won’t turn you down.” The elf queen felt that Philip had totally fallen for her trick. Once they entered the cave, they would die for sure. The other elves looked at Philip warily. All hope was lost. They could only rely on their own strengt
“I’m surprised to find the long-lost humans in my territory. I've heard a lot about you.” The elf queen walked up to Philip elegantly. Hearing this voice, Philip looked back at the so-called elf queen, who sounded quite good. “What the heck?! She's so ugly.” Everyone could not help but curse after seeing her for the first time and had to cover their mouths, including Katie. Everyone clearly had the same opinion about this so-called elf queen, whose appearance was simply indescribable. “Is it true that only the ugliest elf has the right to become the boss? I thought the guard was ugly enough, but you bring ugliness to another level. How interesting.” Aslan was as outspoken as ever, and everyone burst out laughing at his crude remarks. Philip smiled at his sharp tongue. “You must be the queen of the elves.” Philip shook his head helplessly at the sight of the other party's goblin-like figure and shriveled wings. Although he had a smile on his face, the other party thought
The female elf put on her clothes in a panic and ran out in fear. The appearance of humans in the territory was a very serious matter. They had to report this incident at once. Philip did not stop the other party. He could tell at a glance that these two were very weak, almost at the bottom of the rung. There was no need to waste any time on them. It would be better to wait for an elf in charge to speak to them. “You've seriously neglected your duties. I’m afraid that I’ll have to report this,” Lyle said on purpose, smirking at the guard. It was ridiculous for a guard to neglect his duties to this extent when he was protecting the safety of all the elves, and Lyle hated such people the most. After leaving the room, the female elf ran to the elf queen in a panic. It was very serious to find outsiders in the elves' territory, not to mention that they were the legendary humans, a bunch of notorious evildoers. No one could imagine what chaos they would bring next. At this mom
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
