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
Philip hastily chased after her till he was outside, but after he turned a corner, there was no sign of that person.Philip searched around frantically. However, that figure seemed to have disappeared into thin air. Why? Was that Hannah? Philip grabbed his hair and felt confused. What exactly was going on? Suddenly, Cynthia appeared, and her words sounded full of meaning as she joked with him. However. She noticed that Philip seemed unwell and asked, “What’s wrong?” “Ahem.” Philip coughed drily, forced out a smile, and touched his nose as he said, “Nothing. The other party was just too enthusiastic. People who’ve returned from abroad are different indeed.” “Be careful or I’ll tell Wynn what you just said!” Cynthia glared at him contemptuously. “I’ve sent your wife home safely. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going back too.” Cynthia turned around and looked suspiciously at Philip again. “Are you really okay? I can’t help feeling that you’re troubled by somethi
Unexpectedly, he had not heard about this person for several years. It turned out he was actually in Riverdale! No wonder the old master was so concerned about him and even told Vivi to go there in person. “Ash, bring a team and station yourselves in Riverdale. Monitor the movements of Philip Clarke and Beacon Group closely,” Ivan instructed before he got up and left the gym. Philip Clarke, he had finally returned! He looked forward to the day they would meet! Back to Philip. He had just returned to the villa. In the living room, he saw Martha sitting upright, and Wynn, sitting beside her. She was making eyes at Philip with a look of helplessness. “Philip, you’re back already?” Martha looked all puffed up with the certificate of property ownership on the table. She said coldly, “Since Wynnie is here tonight too, you must give me an explanation about this and add my name again. Otherwise, you don’t have to return to this house any longer. I’ll move out together with Wynnie
Philip was taken aback when he heard those words! “How is it? Is she still alive?” Philip asked. “Young Master, I re-investigated the information about Young Miss and found that it was manipulated. I haven't found out who this person is, but what can be confirmed is that the lady is likely to be alive,” Rick said. Still alive! Philip’s eyes turned moist. After so many years, he had been living in self-guilt. Now that he heard the news, even if his heart was hardened with resolve, he would inevitably be excited! “Check it out! Find out to the end! No matter who stands behind it, find everything out for me!” Philip took a deep breath, his expression getting colder. His body was filled with a dormant but soaring chill! He was aware that since his sister’s information was manipulated, it meant that someone had to be interfering with it. Their motives must be terrifying! However, no matter what their motives were, Philip would get to the bottom of this! No matter who it
How should he put it?He definitely could not tell Wynn the truth. That brat Jaden Larson had dug a pit for him. Ten minutes passed. Philip remained silent and maintained his posture of pinching his chin with his eyes closed in deep thought. Wynn frowned and called out to him, “Philip, you’re sleeping again!” Right then, Philip woke up and said leisurely, “I see, it’s okay. Just leave it to me.” “You? What do you plan to do?” Wynn did not trust Philip entirely with this matter. After all, the other party made an assassination attempt. This sort of thing only happened in the movies. “I have my ways. Don’t worry about it,” Philip stretched as he said. Seeing that Philip did not plan to tell her anything, Wynn did not pursue the matter but asked worriedly instead, “Juan just invited me for dinner. Do you think I should go?” “Juan invited you for dinner?” Philip raised his eyebrows and could not help feeling that there was a trap somewhere. Was he really trying to
Very soon, Philip reached the door of the research room. He quickly entered the password and went through the iris detection system. Fortunately, Wynn had his details entered into the system the last time. Otherwise, no matter how resourceful Philip was, he could only rely on explosive weapons to break in! There was an explosion in the research room! It was too sudden. Although judging from the sound, the scale of this explosion was not too large, but it would be deadly enough if ordinary people were caught in the center of the explosion! After going through the four-fold security door of the laboratory, Philip could see that the entire laboratory was enveloped in smoke. He could hardly see what was in front of him at all! The visibility was less than two meters! Smoke bombs! Philip had gone through the devilish training by Reed Williams after all, so he could naturally tell that the smoke around him was caused by smoke bombs. Instantly, his tumultuous heart relaxed. Smo
Philip roared a few times, but the research room was chaotic and no one listened to him. After all, their lives were at stake here! Several people squeezed their way toward Philip. He grabbed two of them and pushed them back, but when he grabbed the third person, a cold light abruptly flashed at his neck! The dagger shining with a cold light was like a poisonous snake protruding out of the smoke, aiming at Philip’s neck while baring its fangs! The opponent’s movements were very fast. Even at a glance, one could tell it was a professional! Moreover, the timing of this sneak attack was very accurate. When Philip noticed the crisis, the dagger had already pierced through the shirt on his chest! “Damn it!” He could not fight head-on. The opponent came prepared, and with the thick smoke surrounding him, Philip could not tell the position of the opponent at all. He could only dodge out of the way quickly and arch his back to avoid the attack from the man in the dark! The dagger
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
