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
Hannah Clarke?! Philip immediately got up, rushed out of the room, and came to the door. He looked around but saw no one. At this moment, Philip felt very agitated. How did this happen? Was it really his sister? Philip turned back and opened the small paper box that Wynn handed to him. He quickly opened it and saw that it was a piece of jewelry with a note attached. It said, ‘For my beautiful sister-in-law.’ The words directly pierced through Philip’s heart! Was it really his sister Hannah Clarke? Why did she not appear before him then? Philip became very excited. Wynn naturally noticed Philip’s strange behavior and said, “What’s wrong, Philip? Has something happened?” Naturally, she also saw the jewelry in the box. At first glance, it was not plain jewelry. The design and style looked very expensive. Philip held the note tightly in his hand, his eyes red. He took a deep breath, put the note away, and squeezed out a smile before saying, “It’s fine. This is a gift
Philip shrugged and reminded, saying, “Juan Parker, I advise you to keep a low profile.” “Why do you care? Philip, I used to treat you as my friend, but from now on, I’m coming at you.” Juan was furious. Philip was already bankrupt, so how could he still act like this? What right did he have? A well-known wastrel was actually the young master of Clarke Group. Back then, when Juan first found out about it, he was also shocked. However, it was different now. He had no fear! Philip Clarke would forever be rubbish! Moreover, with so many people here today, he refused to believe that Philip would dare to do anything to him. Philip frowned and said coldly, “Juan, where did you get the courage to talk to me in such a manner? From the person behind you? Was the last beating not enough for you?” Upon hearing this, Juan subconsciously stepped back and yelled a few words along the lines of, “Just you wait, I’ll deal with you later!” Then, he entered the hotel lobby with his fe
Bang! At the pivotal moment, someone kicked the toilet door open from outside! Philip rushed in, and the huge destructive power shocked the man so much that he faltered for a split second. In these few seconds, Philip had already stood in front of him, lifted his foot, and kicked out! Bam! Philip kicked the man's abdomen viciously! It was very straightforward and brutal without any hesitation at all! Philip’s kick was not light. The man curled up in a fetal position and flew out, crashing into the wooden door of the toilet cubicle! Boom! The door was directly knocked down by a huge impact! That man remained there and could not move for a while! Wynn was so frightened that she squatted on the ground, holding her head and not daring to look. When she finally noticed the familiar figure standing in front of her, she threw herself directly into Philip's arms, shaking all over! “Phil, I’m so scared!” Wynn cried in panic. If not for Philip, the outcome was unimaginabl
Carlos thought Philip would do something to him, but Philip simply handed him something he took out of his pocket. “Try practicing this technique.” After Philip handed him the item, he stared at Carlos, waiting for the result. Carlos was relieved to hear it. He had thought Philip was going to do something to him, but it turned out that Philip simply wanted Carlos to try a technique out. Carlos smiled and shook his head. “We can’t practice other techniques different from our own unless someone can make improvements to our existing technique. Only then do we have the chance to learn something new. But do you know how difficult it is to improve a technique?” Carlos smiled helplessly. Their people had been trying to improve their technique forever. After all, the side effects of the technique were simply annoying, but it was easier said than done. Their predecessors had been studying it for years but to no avail. They had no choice but to give up. Now, only one elder was resp
“Since she’s one of your people, she can stay, but don’t try to do anything,” Philip said. Philip glanced at the holy maiden. Before he could say anything else, something appeared in his mind. It was the technique she practiced. Philip had no idea what happened. He had merely glanced at her when her technique appeared in his mind. Although it was weird, Philip did not think it was a bad thing. Instead, he was happy. He knew that it was a special ability. Thinking of this, Philip was in a good mood. He went back to his room after excusing himself. He wanted to study the technique carefully. It would be best if he could discover something. The holy maiden watched indignantly as Philip left. Jamie knew that Celeste’s biggest advantage was her looks. She was so beautiful that the holy maiden felt the pressure. “Stay here with peace of mind and treat it as your own home. No need for formalities,” Celeste said to them with a smile as if she were the mistress of the house. Jam
Philip waved his hand. That was not what he meant. At this time, Celeste walked out of her room. She had fallen in love with cooking and always immersed herself in the kitchen, figuring out different recipes. In the past, Celeste lived alone in the gloomy forest without freedom or friends. After meeting Philip, she became more vibrant. Celeste would feel a sense of achievement whenever Philip ate the food she cooked. Seeing her, Philip greeted Celeste and introduced the visitors to her. “I don’t need a maid. I already have someone to take care of the household chores. Thank you for your kindness,” Philip said with a smile. Celeste had been doing a good job, so Philip did not think he needed another woman to take care of him. The more women around, the more trouble there would be. The holy maiden froze in surprise at the sight of such a beautiful woman around Philip. Although she was not ugly, she had to live with this ugly appearance until her marriage because of that nas
“That’s enough. Stop talking about me. You might as well think about how to deal with Hogster and the others. The Hexa Guild will definitely come after you.” Philip greeted Jamie calmly without taking the incident seriously at all. Seeing his reaction, Jamie thought that Philip was more and more unfathomable. The Hexa Guild was making a big fuss over this case. Many guilds had accepted the Hexa Guild’s gifts and now stood in opposition to the Celestial Palace. Although this matter had nothing to do with those guilds at all, they accepted the Hexa Guild's gifts in exchange for hyping the news up. It would be best if the two guilds fought. Maybe they could take advantage of the situation in the process! The other major guilds were waiting to watch the excitement too. They hoped that the Celestial Palace would be affected by this incident and it would maybe result in them losing the guild competition. Philip was also quite interested in the guild competition but was more curious
“Vanna mentioned that you enjoy drinking, so I prepared some fine wine for you.” Ronan said it so smoothly that he must have practiced it. Jamie was surprised to see Ronan taking a bottle of wine from his pocket, not at the wine itself. It proved that Ronan had a storage space. Thinking of this, Jamie felt better. Since Ronan had a storage space, he had to have a strong backing. Carlos had determined from various aspects that Ronan was a man with good character. In that case, Jamie had nothing more to worry about, and he could feel at ease again. “We’re about to hold a competition between the guilds. You can join us if you’re interested. Since you’re already part of us, you should do your best. If you can win the competition, I’ll consider officially acknowledging your identity.” Jamie seemed like a gentle and easygoing person. Ronan was excited by his words. He never dreamed that he would have the opportunity to be acknowledged. Ronan thought that he was unworthy of Vann
Jamie was startled. He never thought that someone would speak to him in this manner. With his high and mighty status, everyone spoke to him politely except Carlos. He was not used to someone treating him so frivolously. “I'm here to look for someone,” Jamie said with a smile. The rabbit meant no harm, so Jamie did not have to act like a domineering guild leader. Rabbit stepped aside. “Of course, I know you’re here to look for someone. There’s no other reason to be here otherwise. It's just a matter of whether you can see them.” Rabbit hopped away. He just wanted to see if it was a good or bad guy. After all, troublemakers would be taught a good lesson. Carlos walked out calmly with a teacup. He had fallen for the taste of tea. Philip’s tea was simply perfect. He would feel a fluctuation in his strength after drinking it. He was ecstatic at the discovery and was unwilling to return to the guild now. Taking a sip, he realized that someone familiar was standing at the door and
“I’m surprised that the Celestial Palace would be so shameless. Since they refuse to do things my way, they shouldn't blame me for doing this.” Alain decided to make good use of this incident to guilt-trip the Celestial Palace. He told his people to spread the news of the Celestial Palace to the public. All of a sudden, everyone knew that the young lady of the Celestial Palace had married another man without consent. The incident caused an uproar, and everyone was talking about it. It was one of the most explosive pieces of news in the world of practitioners. The Celestial Palace was a large guild that valued the personal conduct of their guild members. A member would be punished for doing such a thing, but their young lady had rebelliously chosen to be with a man of unknown origins. The news was all hyped up, and everyone waited to watch the excitement. Of course, the people of the Celestial Palace heard the news too. The guild leader scowled upon receiving it. He did not th
Sure enough, Alain was very angry. He stared at Dennis in disbelief, surprised at his defeat. “How did you end up losing? Is he really as strong as the rumors said? I refuse to believe that a little brat can bring you any harm!" Alain subconsciously felt that Dennis had not done his best. Alain was sure that Dennis was being overdramatic. Dennis had always been a powerful god of war. This unexpected outcome was simply impossible. Thus, he felt that Dennis had not done his best to fulfill his duty. “Although I only exchanged one move with that young man, I could easily tell his level. I could feel that he’s more talented than Hogster. I believe it’ll be a great help for us if we can take him under our wing.” Dennis was doing it for the benefit of the guild. It would be an advantage to the guild if they could get Ronan. However, his words infuriated Alain instead. He was angry at Dennis’ stupid suggestion. “Ronan is clearly not the same as us. No matter how strong he is, he
Although Dennis could not be bothered with Hogster, he had to fight for the chance to recruit Ronan. However, Ronan shook his head. “I already have Philip, so you can forget about it. So, do you still want to fight? I don't mind showing you my strength.” Ronan had simply executed a casual move just now, so it could not be considered a full-blown display of his powers. If Dennis still wanted to fight, he would oblige. Dennis shook his head. He could clearly tell that he was no match for Ronan. Although he wanted to teach Ronan a lesson, he would only end up tragically if he went ahead with it. He did not doubt that Ronan could easily crush him. “Please excuse our intrusion today.” Dennis bowed to Ronan and left without another word. He did not want to stay in this unpleasant place any longer. He was the third elder, a person of high status. Not to mention suffering an easy defeat, but he also had to apologize to the person who defeated him, which was simply woeful. The perso
