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
Sure enough, the pill was nothing special. Apart from appearing quite tasty, the pill had no other effect. It was considered a useless item. “Humans are quite good at making pills. It’d be great if I had that ability too,” Akash said eagerly. He had studied this topic with others before, but they concluded that no other race had the talent to make pills apart from humans. Philip continued chatting with Akash, all the time wondering who he was. He could easily tell whether the other person's face was real or fake. This person did not disguise himself. His face was real. “Philip, I sense something wrong,” Lyle muttered under his breath. He sensed a strange vibe. A strong fishy smell was coming from a distance. Philip immediately recognized the source of the fishy smell. Who else could it be but the ugly elves? Abele was heading to the city with her troops. They knew that attacking these people was a matter of life and death. “We need to watch out. Don’t give them a chance
At this time, Akash ran over as if he were shocked to hear that sound. “Did you hear a deafening sound just now? I felt uncomfortable all over after that as if something was staring at me!” Akash said in a panic. He was now very jittery and afraid of everything. “Don’t worry, it’s probably an explosion somewhere,” Philip said. Akash was startled as if he could not understand Philip’s meaning. “Explosion? Is it a demon? That’d be very bad!” Akash looked around anxiously, feeling nothing else but panic. “Anyway, this is strange. No one knows what’s happening, so let’s just take it one step at a time. If a demon appears, we have no choice but to face it.” Philip waved his hand, not interested in this topic. They would have to face it, come hell or high water. Akash nodded and sat drinking his cup of tea with a bad premonition lingering in his heart. “Let’s hope you’re right.” Philip sat down and felt that something was wrong with Akash’s reaction. He probably knew something
The captured elves would suffer various hardships and become the humans' pitiful plaything. To prevent it from happening again, Akash forbade his people from stepping into the outside world. Therefore, it was ironic for him to summon his people here. “Find a room and have a good rest while you wait for your people to arrive.” Philip pointed to one of the empty rooms. Akash was exhausted after a long journey. Even though he had drunk a pot of tea, his mental state was not very good. He would collapse very soon without a good rest. Akash nodded. He did not refuse Philip's kindness because he knew he could not hold on much longer. He felt very unhappy at the thought of the upcoming battle.… At this time, the place responsible for imprisoning humans was getting restless as if the barriers were weakening. “Comrades, keep it up. I can feel the barriers weakening. We can leave soon!” A man shouted, and his words motivated everyone. Everyone was excited and worked harder to bre
“That’s great. I knew that our sacred tree would never lie to me. Only you’d dare to help me in this situation.” Akash was moved to tears by Philip’s words. He never dreamed that Philip was willing to help him. “I’ll try to contact the other elf warriors and see if I can summon them. Our combat effectiveness will improve significantly with their help.” Akash went to a corner to contact the elf warriors using a special method. They would sense it if they were still alive. However, he forgot an important thing. Abele was once a member of the family and knew about it too. She could feel the call the same as other warriors. As Akash summoned the warriors, Abele smiled wickedly. She did not expect Akash to summon his people so soon. “This took no effort at all. I was thinking if I should use my bloodline to search for his trace, but he turned up right at my doorstep. How convenient.” Abele found Akash’s location but was puzzled by his choice. “Is he crazy? Why is he in the h
“I have a natural aversion toward demons, so I felt very uncomfortable when I saw Abele, but everyone was in a hurry to leave at that time, so I didn't say anything. Abele probably colluded with the demons to get rid of Akash and his people, so Akash wants to seek help from us.” Everyone nodded at Katie’s analysis and thought she had a point. “Anyway, we’ll find out after a short wait. I’m sure he’ll get here very soon. We can figure out the details if he needs our help.” Philip distributed the precious elf water while calmly waiting for Akash’s arrival. He knew that he owed the elves a favor. Philip was not guilty about taking Akash’s elf water, but he felt embarrassed about Rabbit tricking the elf tree away from the elves. With the elf tree, Philip was not short of elf water. With the help of his pills, the elf tree would recover soon, so the yield would be much higher. Philip felt conflicted at the thought of Akash’s earnest behavior and decided to help if he could after
As long as Abele had full control over the elf tree, others would have no choice but to believe her identity no matter how ugly or deformed she looked. Now that the elf tree was missing, however, they could not find the elves’ treasure even if they turned the place upside down. “It seems that we can’t spare those people no matter what. You have to do me a favor. We have to find Akash and get the elf tree or all our efforts will be in vain.” Abele gritted her teeth and finally decided to kill Akash.… Meanwhile, Akash had escaped and knew that a great calamity had befallen his family. It was a total disaster. “Luckily, I have the pills from Philip, or I wouldn’t have been able to escape that woman’s clutches.” Akash felt a lingering fear. Although a pill had been taken from him, he felt better now. At least he still had many pills from Philip. “I have no choice but to find Philip next. If he’s unwilling to help me, I’ll have to beg someone else.” Thinking of this, Akash
Akash had been injured by the black energy emitted by Abele. He would be in trouble if he did not heal himself. Seeing this scene, Abele rushed over and snatched the pill from Akash’s hand. Abele had been waiting to get hold of one. “Give it to me.” Abele moved very fast after being possessed by the demon. Akash did not have time to take the pill before Abele snatched it from him. Seeing this scene, Akash looked around for his warriors, but everyone had left. Akash felt relieved. As long as his warriors had fled to safety, he had nothing to worry about. Seeing that Abele was admiring the pill, Akash quickly ran away. It was the best opportunity for him to run. He would have a future as long as he ran. He had to survive before he could make a comeback. Where there was a will, there was a way. Akash was quite good at running and soon vanished from everyone’s sight. Abele scoffed at Akash’s disappearance. Although she did not want to let him go, there was no point in cha
“I think those are pills made by humans. I wonder where he found such powerful pills. Get them for me. I’m very interested in studying them.” At this moment, a voice rang in Abele’s ear, most likely the person behind the scenes. Abele rolled her eyes. Who would not be interested in such a good thing? Everyone wanted to get one but it depended on individual ability. “According to my understanding over the years, even the best potions can't produce such a strong healing effect, not even the potions made by Merlin. These pills are a force to be reckoned with, and I want to get them now. Do something about it. Don’t let me down,” the voice forced Abele to solve the problem. “You know who has the pills. He’s very powerful, and I’m no match for him at all unless you help me.” Abele gritted her teeth and finally suggested. She knew that Philip was a human, so it had to be him. However, Philip had left, and no one knew where he went. In that case, she could only start with Akash.
They had suffered badly enough over the years, so Abele just wanted to resist. Akash had to die at all costs. Akash watched in sorrow as his warriors fought to their deaths. He wondered where Abele found her reinforcements, but that was not important now. His people were about to surrender, so that question was meaningless now. “Run!” A warrior saw Akash standing in a daze and was filled with panic. He rushed through the attacks and urged Akash to flee. “As long as you’re still alive, the elves will have a chance to make a comeback. No matter what, we can't let the enemies have their way. You have to make a comeback and show them how powerful we are!” The warrior was stabbed several times, but his face was full of determination as if he would never give in to these people. Tears welled up in Akash's eyes. He never thought that his people would say such sorrowful words one day. “I’ll die if you don’t leave now.” The warrior had no choice but to use his death to threaten
