Martha was terrified. She could not lose the villa. It was her life. “Philip, what are you doing?” Martha asked in a panic although she had already guessed the answer. On the sidelines, Bernard and Amelia also pointed at Philip sharply and cursed, “Martha, just look at this wastrel. He’s actually treating us like this. Is he in charge of this family?” These words annoyed Martha. As such an overbearing person, how could she accept it when others thought Philip was the head of the family instead? Martha simply sat on the ground, beat her chest, and cried out, “I was really blind to have allowed Wynnie to marry you. You’re nothing but an unscrupulous turncoat who ate and lived in my house for the past three years. Now, you even want to kick your mother-in-law out of the house. Where’s the justice in this?” Martha kicked up a big fuss, and her voice was loud, irritating the ears of those who heard her. The security guards who rushed in also exchanged glances with each other, at
The manager took one look at them before he went to deal with it. It was done in just a moment. Martha’s name was no longer on the certificate. In other words, from now on, First Palace had nothing to do with Martha Yates! Martha was completely dumbfounded. Everything was gone. It was retribution. “You son of a b*tch! You actually did this to me! I’m your mother-in-law. Are you trying to drive me to my death?! No way, you must add in my name again. This is my villa! My daughter bought it. This kept man deceived my daughter!” Martha went berserk and kicked up a big fuss in the sales department. She sat on the ground as she wailed and sobbed, unconcerned about her image at all. Philip just stared at Martha coldly and said, “Have you forgotten what Wynn said? I bought this villa myself!” With that said, Philip left the office. Martha continued her rant for a while longer before she ran back in disarray. It was already done, so she could only try to restore it. How
Mila was not afraid of strangers and greeted Levi. Levi also showed a gentle side and played with her. Martha glanced at them a couple of times before glaring at Mila, then turned to Anne and said coldly, “Bring her upstairs.” Anne knew that Martha disliked Mila, so she quickly carried her upstairs. “Uncle, can I play with you again later?” Mila’s teeth twinkled as she waved her little arms toward Levi. Levi smiled with a wink, made a gesture with his hands, and said, “Sure.” “Levi, are you married?” Martha suddenly asked with a broad grin as if she was his mother. “Oh, not yet,” Levi responded with a smile. The two burly bodyguards behind him stood not too far away. Martha was ecstatic at his reply. He was not married. That was great news. Martha began to make plans. It was impossible to get Philip and Wynn to divorce, but Lynn was still available. They were members of the Johnston family. If they got together, she could still benefit from it. While she was t
The two of them left the hospital and drove for half an hour before they came to a quiet alley. In the city of Riverdale today, such an alley was no longer found. At the end of this alley, there was an attic of an ancient building. The first and second floors were built with the design of tropical gardens. The car stopped at the door and Philip looked at the building carefully. He rarely came to such a place and found it quite unusual. “This small building must be worth at least hundreds of millions, right?” Philip was puzzled. “Why’d you bring me here?” Wynn straightened her clothes and hair, smiled, and said, “It belongs to my best friend. She’s a stylist and just returned from abroad. Her skills are very good and people usually have to make an appointment with her. I brought you here today to get some styling done.” Best friend? He thought her best friends were those few he had already met. “Me?” Philip looked at his clothes. Uh, they were really old fashioned. Wyn
Rachel smiled and blinked her beguiling eyes that revealed a trace of sexiness as she said, “Of course.” Philip chuckled. “Haha, you think too much. I’m not one. I’m just my wife’s knight in shining armor.” After saying that, he looked at Wynn and asked cheekily, “Am I right?” Wynn blushed at his question. Her husband was too much, showing such affection in front of outsiders. Rachel smiled faintly and did not continue this topic but led Wynn and Philip into the building. The decoration of this studio was very classic. Although there were not many customers, those occupied were doing styling seriously. Moreover, the identities of the guests seemed quite unusual. There were even some popular young celebrities there. When Rachel passed each room, she would greet the people inside with smiles and chatter. Rachel took the two of them to a luxurious single room on the second floor. Obviously, this was an exclusive studio designed for Rachel's private styling, and it seemed t
Steady! He could not cheat on Wynn! The next step was the overall look. Rachel Clarke was indeed a top stylist. Within half an hour, she had created an entirely new look for Philip. His aura and demeanor were totally different from before. Now, he looked exactly like the Prince Charming who came out of the fairy tale world—Grand and fashionable! Philip’s appearance was actually not too bad. It was just that he had never paid any attention to it before. “Tsk, tsk, Wynnie’s taste is excellent as ever. A diamond waiting to be polished, very handsome.” Rachel stood behind Philip and scrutinized her handiwork. She found Philip’s temperament quite unique. “Thanks for your compliment. Handsome is my middle name.” “Okay, that’s enough of your sweet talk. Come with me to the dressing room and I’ll help you choose some decent clothes.” Rachel patted Philip’s shoulder and headed toward the dressing room. Philip followed behind her, eyes fixed on her figure. There were ripples al
“You’ve misunderstood,” Philip grinned broadly and said, “I wasn’t joking.” Following that, Philip took a step forward. The dressing room was not too big in the first place, so Philip could almost press his body against Rachel! “Did you think I was joking with you?” Rachel raised her eyebrows and frowned slightly. She had clearly sensed a hint of threat from Philip! Especially those clear eyes with a hint of coldness in them! Could it be that he found something? Philip did not respond, so Rachel remained quiet too. Nevertheless, the atmosphere in the fitting room had long since become ambiguous and even Rachel’s breathing turned rapid, which meant there was something suspicious about her! At her silence, Philip pressed closer! The latter’s body tightened at this time, making her breathing more rapid. Her expression also turned unpleasant. She said, “Anyone can enter here at any time. I’m warning you, don’t do anything!” Philip stared coldly at the panicked woman in fr
Philip smiled and made a grasping motion in the air with one hand, making his opponent cower back in fright!Rachel’s breathing became rapid for fear that this scoundrel would make unruly moves!“Why, are you afraid?” Philip did not make any further moves. It was just a ploy. He said, “You should’ve prepared for the consequences when you tried to test me. A lone man and woman in the same room… Are you really not worried that I’d do something to you? Your body is invaluable in the eyes of men, but you still did it, which means you have an inexplicable reason to do so. “I guess there are no more than two reasons. First, I have something valuable to you. Second, you’re entrusted by others, or there’s someone behind the scenes controlling you, right?” Rachel trembled all over, her breathing became faster as a look of horror appeared in her eyes! Obviously, Philip had guessed one of them correctly! For this reason, Philip did not bother hiding anything but merely said with a playf
Mason frowned at Aslan but did not respond. Philip said, “This guy has become Sienna’s underling. He’s here to find the Binary Herb for Sienna, which coincides with our purpose. Now, he wants me to hand it over or he’ll ask Sienna to kill me. I’m very scared,” Philip said sarcastically and could hardly contain his laughter. Hearing that, everyone was startled before bursting into laughter. They had been with Philip through thick and thin, so they knew who Sienna was. “No way, this guy is using Sienna to threaten Philip. Is he kidding?” “I’m sure he’ll be scared out of his wits if he finds out what really happened. This is ridiculous.” Philip’s men scoffed at Mason’s arrogance. Yule’s men were puzzled, wondering what was going on. “Before this, Philip almost killed a snake monster named Sienna. Unexpectedly, the snake monster escaped and found herself a human servant. On top of that, this human servant thinks so highly of himself as if he's very proud of his identity.” L
“Go and grab that thing for me. We have to get hold of it! Don’t let that guy steal our treasure. And remember to find the thing I want!” Mason ordered his men in a panic. Mason was startled by Philip’s speed of collecting things. Everyone quickly sprang into action. They were not fools. They would be penalized if they did not get things done. They raced against time to grab the treasures from Philip, but Philip was unfazed. He knew that all the treasures would fall into his hands in the end. Besides, the piles of treasures simply contained some pills and other stuff, nothing much. “Sir, we didn’t find the Binary Herb.” At this time, someone stepped forward to report their findings. Everyone was anxious when they realized they could not find the most important Binary Herb. Mason scowled at the bad news. “Impossible. The Binary Herb must be around somewhere.” The location of the Binary Herb was marked on his map. It had to be nearby. Mason looked around with the map
“Of course, an ignorant guy like you wouldn’t know what’s going on. This place is full of danger and had a powerful monster as a guardian. You don’t know anything because you’re unworthy.” Mason jerked his chin smugly, clearly proud that he knew some inside information. “If you beg me, I’ll consider going with you to deal with this monster.” In Mason’s opinion, Philip was no match for this monster. The bloodstains had to be from some weak monsters killed by Philip. According to his understanding, the legendary guardian snake monster was very powerful, not something ordinary people could deal with. “Don't you know why you’re here?” Philip said smugly. He knew that Mason was nothing but a pawn. Philip had seen through everything and was full of scorn for Mason’s nature. Mason was horrified that Philip knew him so well. “How did you know? I've been keeping this secret very well. No one should know about it. Did that snake woman tell you? That's impossible. She hates you very
Seeing this scene, Rabbit applauded excitedly. “You must be dreaming if you think you can fight Philip!” Rabbit said excitedly. Philip quickly killed the snake. He was surprised to find that the snake only had half of its body. He thought half of the snake was trapped in the stone, but it only had half a body left. “Did it grow from the stone?” Rabbit was shocked, wondering what was going on. “Something is wrong with this monster beast. It’s actually growing from the stone. How strange!” Philip was surprised by the strange discovery. “Indeed. It looks very strange, not like a good guy at all.” Rabbit was horrified and felt that the snake was more than met the eye. “Philip, look at this. Is it a description of this monster beast?” Rabbit looked at a huge stone tablet on the side in puzzlement. “Philip, look, I think this snake has something to do with that snake woman!” Rabbit was surprised to see what was written on the stone tablet and pulled Philip over for a look. The
“No matter what, we need to get our hands on it and don’t let it fall into the hands of others.” Before Philip could take the stone, he saw a snake coiled around it. “Hey, Philip, that’s a male snake. Maybe it’s related to that snake woman. Why don’t you ask and find out?” Rabbit joked. Philip shook his head with a smile. The two snakes were of different species. How could they be related? “If you’re interested, go find out for yourself. Don't blame me for not saving you if the snake decides to eat you. Curiosity kills the rabbit. Don’t forget it,” Philip said with a hint of taunting, clearly teasing Rabbit. The snake’s reaction was better compared to the two dumb octopuses. After noticing Philip’s presence, it flicked its tongue at Philip and rushed over. Philip noticed the difference in its tongue. Normal snakes had a forked tongue, but this snake had numerous tongues. The sight looked very weird and sent a chill up their spines. When the snake opened its jaws, numerous
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
