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
Cynthia had appeared behind Philip without him realizing it. Her voice was so sweet that a man would die from hearing it. As soon as Philip turned his head, he saw the glamorous iceberg beauty with her arms crossed. She was looking at him with a half-smile. She was gorgeous! Especially in such a bar under the illumination of the colorful lights, Cynthia was cast under a mesmerizing mood. “I’m a married man. How can I act so casually?” Philip flicked a glance in the direction of the woman who just left and spoke to Cynthia again, “If it’s someone like you, I might reconsider.” It was empty talk. He just wanted to figure out what Cynthia was up to. She had just asked him out before, and she made another appointment again. It seemed that the Larson family was really eager for this cooperation and to reenter the domestic market. “Wishful thinking.” Cynthia patted Philip’s shoulder, sat down next to him, and took a sip from the wine glass on the table. She did not seem
Cynthia had her own exclusive deck in the bar. When she was in a bad mood, she would come here and sit. On the side of the second floor near the window sill, the prosperous night view of Riverdale was in full display. At the bottom, one could see the dancing crowd in the popular bar. Normally, Cynthia rarely came here, so the place was vacant most of the time. The waiter would also vacate the deck, which was reserved for the boss all the time. “I didn’t expect a boss to get such treatment.” Philip was surprised. If Philip opened a bar, he would build an exclusive deck made of glass and put it in the center of the stage to be surrounded by wild dancing girls. That way, he could enjoy the figures and dance moves of each girl. However, that was just a thought. “You want to be your own boss?” Cynthia sneered, “Don't look at the superficial glamor of being a boss. In fact, there are a lot of things to worry about. It’s not as simple as you think.” Philip nodded in agreemen
Philip clearly felt Cynthia trembling slightly. Perhaps her emotions were too agitated, or she was suppressing her anger. “My dear sister, why don’t you say anything? Is it because I inherited the family company so you don't want to see me? I finally got the chance to come here. You should buy me a drink.” Jaden stood there smugly while holding a wine glass in his hand. He was ostentatiously looking at the friends beside him, which caused all of them to laugh uproariously. His sole purpose of coming here was to mock Cynthia Larson! What did it matter if she was the eldest daughter? His father liked him and even gave him full control of the family’s company. Cynthia was nothing but a b*stard child who no one wanted! Cynthia flicked a scornful glance at Jaden and said, “I’m not your sister. Stop calling me so fondly. It’s disgusting!” “It’s not right for you to say that. Although we don’t share the same mother, we do share the same father, after all. As the younger brothe
Jaden really enjoyed the changes in Cynthia at this moment. He allowed her to grab his arm before he suddenly pulled away and said nonchalantly, “Eh? Didn’t you just say I’m not welcomed here?” Cynthia wiped her tears and stabilized her emotions, but her trembling lips still betrayed her excitement at the moment. She asked, “What do you want?” Laughing, he turned his head and gestured to his companion before turning back to say, “My good sister indeed. I’ll say it directly then. I want you to leave the Larson family and sever all ties with them! Give me your share of the property as well!” Jaden was very upset because he accidentally learned that Cynthia still had her share of the family property. Moreover, his grandfather was actually secretly helping Cynthia and seemed to be preparing for the cooperation with Beacon. Was this an arrangement so that Cynthia could officially return to the fourth branch family and compete with him for the family property? Boom! Cynthia’s f
Philip approached Jaden in a few steps and observed him solemnly. He said, “She’s your sister, after all. Is it really appropriate for you to treat her this way?” At this time, the woman in the black tank top glanced at Philip disdainfully and said very arrogantly, “Who are you, little squirt? Our Jaden here has no time for you. Go play in the corner and mind your own business!” Jaden furrowed his brows. He had already noticed this man next to Cynthia earlier on. Her boyfriend? No, it did not look like it. Philip glared at the woman next to Jaden solemnly and said, “I’m talking to him. Who the hell are you?” “You! Watch your language!” When the woman heard Philip talking to her rudely, she naturally could not accept it. “Do I need you to teach me how to talk? As if you’re any better.” Having said that, Philip did not intend to continue chatting with them. He turned to Jaden and said with a cold expression in his eyes, “I finally understand. You’re here to find fault
The woman was not a match for Philip. After being dragged around by her hair and suffering two slaps, she immediately went dizzy! She kept struggling and shouting, waving her arms around like a dog digging for bones while trying to scratch Philip’s arms. Nevertheless, Philip just smacked her arms away lightly, then pulled her hair vigorously and continued to drag her around like a dog! Philip’s actions were crude. He was not holding back just because she was a woman and was brutal to the extreme! Under such overwhelming pressure, the woman could not escape at all. She held the roots of her hair with both hands, bent her back, and stepped on her high heels as she staggered to follow Philip around. She felt that her hair was almost being torn from the scalp! “Ah! Let go of me!” However, toward such a persistent and ignorant woman, Philip was impassive! He just continued to pull the woman’s hair like that and dragged her around! After walking a few laps on the second floor
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
