Philip came to Wynn’s office. After experiencing the incident in the morning, Wynn was not affected at all. She still displayed the persona of a Snow Queen, but from Philip’s perspective, he was keenly aware of a difference in her. Wynn’s eyes looked a bit confused and absent, and she was also unable to concentrate whether she was looking at documents or reports. Sometimes, her eyes would even linger on a page without moving. This was unlike Wynn. Obviously, she was restless. Philip sat across from her and noticed her expression clearly. He said, “Are you still thinking about what happened this morning?” Wynn shook her head in firm denial. “Stop pretending. I can tell.” Philip suddenly felt that she was a little cute. She was obviously very upset but still pretended to be calm. Why was she being so hard on herself? Wynn was not Philip, so she would naturally take some time to digest everything. “You won’t be used to it at first. That’s human nature. But you’ll get u
Wynn said with a frown, “There are hundreds of employees in Beacon Group. If we start an investigation now, it’s going to take a long time. It’s not going to be something that can be done in half a day.” “You don’t have to worry about this. With me around, everything will be resolved. You can just continue working as usual,” Philip said. “And then?” “And then, I’ll just…” As he said that, Philip got up and walked to Wynn’s side. Leaning his whole body over to her, his cheeks almost pressed against Wynn’s ear! “You… What are you doing?” Wynn had no idea what Philip was doing and thought he was going to… They were in the company, but her husband was being so bold. How embarrassing! “This is a secret operation. Of course, I have to get closer. What if the wall has ears? It’ll be exposed then,” Philip said earnestly. “This…” Wynn blushed furiously. She had misunderstood Philip and became more bashful because of that. Philip’s mouth went very close to Wynn’s ears. Th
Fabio and the others did check the place carefully just now and confirmed that there was no one in the research room. However, the figure that suddenly appeared was puzzling. It turned out that when Fabio and the others were carefully inspecting the various rooms in the research lab, the figure came in quietly through the door and jumped up into the air like a gecko, spreading his limbs and firmly attaching to the ceiling. No one noticed him there at all! After Fabio and others left, they returned to the duty room to rest. Naturally, it was unlikely for them to check the place again, and there were also people in the monitoring room. If anything happened in the research room, it would show up on the monitors, so they were relatively at ease. However, in the monitoring room at this moment, the people staring at the screens did not realize that the monitors had been tampered with. What they were seeing was just a static screen! Therefore, whatever happened in the research roo
Fire Serpent immediately expressed his intention to negotiate. “You’re already standing at death’s door and still dare to negotiate terms with me?” Philip went up and kicked Fire Serpent on his head! After this kick, Fire Serpent felt a buzzing in his head as countless little gold stars were flashing in front of him. The opponent was too brutal. There was no hesitation at all! Fire Serpent's eyes went dark as he fell to the ground while holding his head. His strength seemed to be drained completely. He could not figure it out at all. With just one kick, he was incapacitated with no strength to resist at all! Was he still human? After all, he was the top killer in the organization, but he could not even handle one strike from the opponent! Philip saw that he was lying on the ground and could not recover, so he could not be bothered with him anymore. Instead, he walked to one side and switched on the laboratory lights! In an instant, the entire laboratory was brightly
Wynn’s heart was shaken when she received the text message. Hannah Clarke! Was that the woman who gave her the necklace the other day? Come to think of it, when Philip heard the name that day, he got quite agitated. This woman’s last name was Clarke too. Did she have any special relationship with Philip? Wynn looked at the content of the text message, thought for a long time, and replied, ‘Who are you? How are you related to Philip?’ Ding-dong. A reply came in. ‘If you want to find out, come to the café.’ Should she go? Wynn fell into deep thought. If she went, it signified her distrust of Philip. If she did not go, she would let herself down. After all, Philip was getting more and more unpredictable. Back to the Beacon research lab. The dagger in Fire Serpent’s hand glinted with a cold chill, piercing toward Philip! Unexpectedly, the dagger did not stab into Philip’s chest as Fire Serpent had hoped for! The dagger stopped about an inch away from Philip’s
“Follow you?” Fire Serpent was still in a daze. He did not expect the other party to make such a request. At this moment, he started to be in a dilemma. After all, he was already affiliated with Stinger. If he agreed to Philip’s request, it meant betraying Stinger! It was possible that he would be hunted down due to the betrayal! No one understood the strict discipline of Stinger better than Fire Serpent. If he agreed to Philip’s request, then he would be on Stinger’s wanted list. Things would not be so simple by then. Thinking of the big boss of Stinger, Fire Serpent could not help shivering. Betraying Stinger was a thought that had never crossed Fire Serpent’s mind. However, the reality of it now was giving him dramatic choices. If he did not agree to Philip, he would die immediately! If he did, he was likely to face Stinger’s pursuit! He was puzzled. Philip did not seem to be a member of any organizations, so why would he take him under his wing? Philip looked
“Hello, are you Hannah Clarke?” Wynn stood up and asked doubtfully as she shook hands with the other person. The woman smiled brightly, shook her head, and said, “I’m her friend. Something urgent came up and she was unable to make it. This is something she told me to give you.” While speaking, the woman took out a USB flash drive from her bag and handed it to Wynn. Then, she leaned over slightly and said, “She said that everything you want to know is in there. You may decide if you want to look at it.” With that said, the woman smiled slightly and turned to leave. Wynn was stunned. She held the flash drive in her hand and was speechless for a while. She had to make the decision? Just when she was still in a daze, a sudden shout brought her back to her senses. “Wynnie, what are you doing here?” At this moment, Philip trotted over anxiously. He glanced around but saw no one else. Had they met already? Maybe they had not. “Oh, I’m meeting someone. What’s up?” Wyn
However, Philip abruptly sneered, “Third Uncle, don’t think highly of yourself. Your whole family is now staying in my villa. If you don’t wish to continue staying here, you’re most welcome to leave anytime.” At this point, Martha could not just sit back and watch. She got up and yelled, “Okay, Philip, you really think you’re in charge now? Are you not treating the Johnston family as humans anymore?” Martha was furious. What did Philip mean by that? Was he in charge now? “Martha Yates, what exactly are you trying to say?” Philip’s face was very grim. With a pair of cold eyes, he stared at Martha as he asked. With Charles, Amelia, and Bernard backing her up, Martha was not afraid at all. With a sullen face and furrowed brows, she took out an agreement from the drawer. She slammed it on the table and said, “Nothing much. Just sign this agreement and it’s done.” An agreement? Philip glanced around. Apart from Charles who was shaking his head helplessly, the other three h
Philip did not intend to kill Tom. On the contrary, he wanted Tom to live well so that he could suffer in pain all the time. Philip smacked Tom's body several times. Tom felt something was wrong the moment it happened. He looked distorted as if he was controlled by someone. His body was also twisting in weird angles. “I’ve destroyed your practice. You can never regain your power even if the demons help you. What do you think of this reward?” Philip sneered at Tom’s twisted posture. Philip severed all of Tom’s veins and imprisoned him in the swamp so that he could suffer the erosion of the swamp day and night. He wanted Tom to watch over Marina's remains forever. “I don’t have any grudge against the merfolk. I promised to help you back then, but you were stupid enough to believe the words of a treacherous villain to the point of killing your holy maiden. This is really sad and ridiculous.” The merfolk had suffered a tragic end, which was pitiful, so Philip did not want to dwel
“Chief, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and finish the ritual. Don’t let that guy get his way. We have to get back at him for his disrespect.” After saying this, Tom charged at Marina. He knew that he needed Marina’s blood to have a fresh start. At this time, Moray took out the merfolk's pearl. They hid the pearl very well and finally found it in the warehouse. Marina smiled in despair at the sight of the pearl. She obviously did not expect things to go so out of control. “Philip, I’m sorry to have wronged you earlier. It seems that you’re the only good person around. Everyone else has an ulterior motive and is always thinking about using me. In that case, I’ll do the last thing I can do to seek your forgiveness.” After saying this, Marina rushed to the pearl in Moray’s hand with sorrow in her eyes. Philip had a bad premonition and had a guess about what Marina was about to do. “Stop her!” Philip waved his hand, and everyone rushed over. Some people pinned Moray down
Although Tom had been tortured beyond recognition, he was still rational and yelled out his plan. Moray was hesitant. He knew what Tom was referring to. The merfolk had a powerful secret technique to create an immortal body by merging the blood of the holy maiden with a powerful warrior of the family. Tom was in such a bad condition that he would be dead if they did not save him now. However, once Marina and Tom’s blood were merged, it meant that they would have to be together and never be separated again. Marina shook her head in rejection. Not to mention the damage it would cause her, but she did not want to share the rest of her life with Tom. No one could live an eternal life with someone they did not love. However, Moray had gone crazy. He was bewitched by Tom and only had victory in his eyes. Although Tom was in a bad state, Moray believed that Tom could turn the tables with a little help. With that thought in mind, Moray grabbed Marina and pushed her to Tom reluctant
“Very well. I approve of this marriage. After you defeat Philip and return in victory, we’ll proceed with your wedding.” Hearing that, Tom sneered inwardly. He was an ambitious man. He was unwilling to let Moray control him. He planned to get the merfolk's treasure now. As long as he got the pearls from the merfolk and fish creatures, he could dominate the world with the treasures that could store energy, and everyone would have to bow down to him. He could force Marina to provide her blood and activate the pearl.When Marina was in despair, the mud that trapped Philip suddenly moved. Everyone was astounded by this scene. No one thought that Philip could survive. He was very strong, indeed. Before Tom could attack again, the swamp exploded. Tom was shocked. He had a bad feeling that everything would progress differently. Thinking of this, he kept attacking Philip with every means he had. However, it was futile. Philip easily broke through Tom’s defense and attacked him.
Now that they had started fighting, it seemed that things would not end well. Moby had no idea whether he should root for Philip or not. “Philip, don’t give up!” After much deliberation, Moby finally decided to cheer for Philip. He stood a better chance to survive once Philip won. He would pay with his life if anything happened to Philip. Besides, he had just decided to join Philip when Philip generously rewarded him with some precious elf water, which proved that this was a boss worth following. He might get more benefits by sticking with Philip, so he did not want anything to happen to Philip. Meanwhile, Philip was stuck in the swamp. He was just about to break free from the swamp when he felt something strange. The swamp did not hurt him but strengthened his body instead, making his skin unusual. Philip already had a divine body, and combined with all the powerful pills and various herbs he had consumed before, his body was far beyond anyone’s imagination. It turned out
“You want the merfolk's pearl, but the fish creatures haven't given it to me yet. I don’t have it right now. Even if you defeat me, what’s the point? The fish creatures can run with it while you’re distracted. It’ll be a waste of time for you to fight me,” Philip said. He was really worried about Tom’s IQ. He could understand if he attacked Moby instead. “The thing is in Moby’s hand, but you want to attack me instead of dealing with him. Is it because you can't get the woman of your dreams?” Philip had a sharp tongue, and Tom trembled at his words. Philip dared to humiliate him like this. However, Philip had a point. He should deal with Moby instead. He was just annoyed that his beloved Marina liked Philip. Tom was infuriated by Philip’s words and attacked him. He had to kill Philip at all costs and show Marina the scene of Philip's defeat. The two were quickly engaged in a fight, and Tom moved fluidly in this disgusting swamp. Philip maintained a superior position and foug
“This is an agreement between me and Chief Moray. It’s not up to you.” After saying this, Tom took out a sharp dagger from his pocket. Philip thought Tom was going to attack him, but Tom used the dagger to cut himself instead, leaving everyone wondering what he was doing. After injuring himself, he took out a bottle of potion and poured it on the wound, which healed in a few seconds. Philip was surprised by the rapid recovery. The potion had to be a treasure. At this time, everyone realized that Tom's strength was increasing rapidly to the point of being daunting. Aslan stepped back cautiously, surprised by this unexpected turn. He had always been a fearless person, but he felt a sense of oppression from this weak person. It proved that the potion was powerful enough to pose a threat to him. Thinking of this, Aslan scowled and reached out for Philip, hoping that Philip could take care of it. After all, he and Lyle were equally strong. If he could not deal with Tom, Lyle
“Tom, if you can take care of this matter, I’ll give you Marina’s hand in marriage. I’m sure the two of you can work together to lead the merfolk to glory.” Everyone was shocked, including Tom, who was in disbelief. No one expected that Moray would ask Tom to marry Marina. Even the fish creatures were shocked. Although they were enemies, they knew that Marina was the merfolk's holy maiden. Tom had been protecting the holy maiden over the years, so he was a servant without a doubt. It was ironic to hear that a servant was worthy enough to marry the holy maiden. Marina was shocked and subconsciously glanced at Philip, who was indifferent about it. After all, it was the merfolk's affairs, nothing to do with him. Philip would not bother even if Marina had to marry an old man. “However, you must prove your ability before you can marry my daughter. If you get the item, I’ll hand her to you.” Moray had been seriously injured before this and could no longer fight normally. The merf
Philip took out a small bottle of elf water from his pocket and handed it to Moby. He wanted to see what the ugly creature would look like after taking the precious elf water. Moby was shocked to see Philip handing him some elf water and felt unworthy of it. At Philip’s insistence, he walked over and respectfully took the small bottle of elf water from Philip. He took a sip cautiously and wanted to marvel at its wonderful taste. Philip felt exasperated at Moby’s caution. Moby probably had no idea how Lyle and the others treated the water. They not only used it to bathe but also drank it casually like normal drinking water. Marina and the others watched with envy. They knew how precious the elf water was, so they were shocked by Philip’s generosity in giving it to the humble fish creatures. Even the merfolk found it difficult to get some elf water, but these lowly creatures got it. No one would be happy at this scene. Philip glanced at everyone. The other fish creatures st
