Her brown chestnut hair was set high behind her head, revealing a fair swan-like neck. A pair of dewy brown eyes gleamed like deep fathomless pools. The long red evening dress wrapped around her sexy and graceful torso, highlighting her almost perfect golden ratio figure. She was just like the brightest star in the night!It was Vivi Joo! The people in the audience could hardly contain their excitement now! She was an international superstar. Only in her 20s, she had reached the point where many people could only admire her from a distance! Vivi Joo, also known as little Britney, was practically the darling of the world. She started as a child star at the age of seven and her career to stardom took off smoothly since then. She appeared on the cover of Time Magazine a few years later and was voted ‘Most Popular Female Star’! Moreover, if a curious bystander checked into her background, they would find that the supporting pillar behind Vivi Joo was none other than the Joo family
Vivi already met the personnel of Beacon Group before attending this event and also understood that Wynn was the chairwoman of Beacon Group. Vivi had always been very confident about her figure and beauty, but now, she was looking at Wynn with a trace of hostility. She loved a challenge! Wynn smiled slightly and looked at Vivi who stood in front of her. This woman was a big star. She was still contemplating whether to greet the other party or not and was just about to reach out when Vivi had already taken the lead in stretching out a slender little hand. “Hello, I know you. You’re Chairwoman Wynn Johnston of Beacon Group.” Vivi was full of smiles and looked extremely friendly. Wynn was taken aback slightly. Why did this superstar who just returned from abroad put herself down and showed her such courtesy? Her actions did not make any sense, puzzling Wyn. Strong rival! Since the other party showed her courtesy, she needed to do the same. Wynn nodded and said with a sof
“I’m sorry, but I’ve no idea what you’re talking about,” Philip said calmly as his eyes twitched. His expression was slightly cold. Vivi was silent for a moment before stretching out her hand and smiling warmly. “Oh, it’s okay. I might be mistaken, but I really seem to have met you somewhere before.” The audience went into an uproar at those words! Everyone’s jaw dropped wide enough that it could fit an egg! Vivi Joo took the initiative to greet a man and said she had met him somewhere before! She even repeated the same sentence twice! This was simply every man’s dream! Moreover, this opening remark sounded familiar. Following that, under everyone’s astonished gaze, Philip glanced at Vivi indifferently. He said disdainfully, “I say, Miss Joo, do we really know each other? Your pickup line is too old-fashioned. Can you try something more creative next time?” Philip's joke undoubtedly detonated the whole hall's discussion! Too c*cky for words! How could he say such
Wynn looked at Philip weirdly at this time. When the latter noticed that, he shuddered and asked weakly, “Don’t look at me like that. I feel very puzzled too. Wynnie, it’s really not what you think.” “You still say you don’t know her?” Wynn said coldly, looking exactly like a cat that got its tail stepped on. She was about to throw a hissy fit. “I don’t. How could I? She’s an international superstar!” Philip shook his head and said with certainty. “Go on upstairs and have a fruitful chat with your international superstar,” Wynn said lightly, her tone slightly cold. “Ah, what are you saying? No way, even you don’t believe me?” Philip thought his ears had to be playing tricks on him. What happened to Wynn? Was she jealous? “I'll go home by myself in a while. You don't need to come down to see me off.” After Wynn finished speaking, she held the skirt of her evening dress up and walked out of the hall. She felt very upset at this moment. Philip Clarke dared to fool around
Jaden gritted his teeth and said, “I don’t know how you got the information about my great-grandfather, but I’ll tell you this, don’t try to scare me! I’m not afraid of you! Also, I won’t agree to your terms!” What a joke. How could Jaden give up this opportunity to bring Cynthia down so easily? Impossible! Besides, the news about Cynthia’s mother was his trump card. He would never hand it over! “Oh, in that case, there’s no discussion then.” Philip snickered coldly with chills in his eyes, looking at Jaden who just got up from the ground. As soon as Jaden made eye contact with Philip, goosebumps spread all over his skin and his body turned cold as if he was being watched by a tiger. “You!” Jaden shouted. As soon as his voice fell, Philip went up and kicked him again! With this kick, Jaden felt that he was almost dead. His ribs seemed to be broken in his chest. The pressure made him unable to breathe! “Jaden Larson, you still don’t understand your situation? Don’t t
Philip flicked a glance at the dazed Cynthia and fished something out of his pocket. A glassy jade bangle! Since the last incident with Martha Yates, he had always kept it with him. When the bangle appeared, both Jaden and Cynthia were dumbstruck! They recognized this jade bangle! This was the token given by the Clarke family to the Larson family back then. It was originally a pair and there was another one in the family. The other jade bangle was taken out when Great-grandfather celebrated his 90th birthday. Basically, all members of the Larson family at the core level knew the value of this jade bangle. Moreover, Grandaunt’s name, Charlotte Larson, was engraved on the inside of the bangle. “You’re really Grandaunt’s son?” Jaden was flustered and truly in a panic! What the hell?! Although the Larson family had withdrawn from the mainland, they still knew a little about the Clarke family. However, due to family restrictions, they hardly had contact with the Cl
Philip did not expect Wynn to appear at this time and overhear the conversation between him and Cynthia. He was taken aback. How was he going to explain this? Cynthia seemed to notice Philip’s hesitation and quickly explained, “Miss Johnston, you got it wrong. I was talking to Philip about Beacon’s new drug. Actually, I want to cooperate with you as a representative of the Larson family.” When Wynn heard that it was about cooperation, she immediately became interested. The two women quickly started talking. In the end, Wynn even expressed her dissatisfaction toward Philip. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Philip chuckled and said, “Well, I’m just trying to observe them for a little while.” Wynn rolled her eyes at him and said, “Let’s go home.” Philip did not move. He glanced at Cynthia and said, “I’ve something to deal with. Let Miss Larson send you home.” “What is it?” Wynn suddenly became nervous as she thought of Vivi Joo's invitation to Philip just now. Phi
“Nothing much. I just want to see for myself what kind of person is this so-called Young Master Clarke.” Vivi said, “Hehe, you're the first man to see me wearing this while still keeping calm.” Calm? “Don’t talk to me about such useless things. A superstar like you invited me to your suite late at night. Now, you’re dressed like this just to see what kind of person I am?” Philip tried his best to shift his gaze away from Vivi. Really, she was going to be the death of him. “Well, you can say that I’m trying to get close to you, but I’m really just being curious.” Vivi said with a smile, “I’m curious to find out how you kicked the Quaid family out of Capital City and how you’re planning to deal with the Hane family. Maybe, I just want to know the location of Arcadia Island.” “You’re playing with fire! The Joo family too!” Philip’s eyes froze over! Vivi shuddered. Seeing Philip’s frosty gaze, she suddenly realized she overdid it. Moreover, she was alone in this suite. If
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
