“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 finished signing it in less than three seconds. Martha picked up the agreement and looked at it for a long time. She could hardly contain her smile as she said, “Excellent, this villa belongs to me now. Tomorrow, you’ll go through the transfer procedure with me.” After that, Martha gave Philip a fierce glare. That wastrel dared to fight with her! She would get rid of him! Philip’s expression was grim. He did not even spare a glance to the triumphant trio who had gathered around to see the agreement and walked directly to the second floor. It was just a villa. He did not care for it. What he cared about was Wynn’s opinion of him. On the second floor back in the master bedroom, Philip looked at Wynn who was lying on the bed and tiptoed over. Wynn was not asleep. When Philip got on the bed, she turned sideways, hugged Philip, and asked, “Phil, are you hiding something from me?” Philip hugged Wynn, took a deep breath, then smiled before saying, “Of course not. Go t
For instance, the tea set he took down from upstairs was previously given to him by Anna Carter. He had completely forgotten about it and just left it at home.How much was it? It was a handcrafted clay tea set worth 800,000. It could be considered an expensive gift. Seeing Philip returning with a gift box, Martha held back and said nothing. Amelia’s family was also there and they had only brought simple gifts with them. Those gifts were actually swiped from the villa and were things that Philip bought for Wynn, such as honey and royal jelly. She was really thick-skinned as she kept a few boxes for herself too. Once Wynn returned, the entire family headed toward the granduncle’s house. It was a small villa of more than 300 square meters that cost ten million. As soon as they entered the living room, they found that almost everyone was there. The second uncle’s family had already arrived, and some relatives were talking in full swing while complimenting each other.
Philip grabbed hold of Wynn before she turned around and said with a smile, “What are you going to say? I’m bankrupt now. If you tell them about it, it’s the same as telling them that I’m still that trash. Forget it. I’ve already endured it for so long. I don’t care about this time.” Wynn looked at Philip aggrievedly, took his hand, and said, "Phil, I don't want you to be treated unfairly. “It’s fine, silly. Let’s go over there. They’re waiting to talk to this successful entrepreneur.” Philip bopped Wynn on her nose and chuckled. Wynn rolled her eyes at him coyly. “What entrepreneur? I’m just your wife. Besides, if not for you, I’d still be an ordinary employee.” Philip did not say anything. He continued making tea and brought it into the living room. Coincidentally, he overheard the relatives discussing Beacon. “Wynn, I heard that your company received an investment from Milanelson Angel Investment Group?” Bradford’s son, Kirk Green, asked with a smile while drinking tea
Martha’s wishful thinking was very meticulous. She would not force it if Wynn really did not like him, but the more investments the better. She refused to believe that someone would invest in Beacon for no good reason. The other party had to be up to something. It just so happened that Jacey returned at this time. She just came back from the company. Recently, the company’s business had declined and they were short of funds, so she was very busy. As soon as she entered the door, Jacey made a face, obviously unhappy. She threw her handbag on the sofa. Everyone could tell that Jacey was in a bad mood. At this time, Seth approached with a cheeky smile and said, “What’s the matter, Jacey? Are you still worried about the company?” As he said that, he served Jacey the tea that was prepared by Philip. It was very well-played. Jacey took a sip of the tea, then took out the gift she had prepared before handing it to Bradford She said, “Grandpa, I wish you many happy returns of
Had Philip gone mad? How could he say such words?! He could help them? What could a piece of useless trash like him do? Jacey and Seth also looked at Philip blankly before they sneered, “Philip, what right do you have to speak here? What do you mean you can help? What can a good-for-nothing like you do?” Jacey’s gaze was sullen. She was wishing that she could give Philip a big slap right now. This guy actually dared to speak out now? Was he showing off just because his wife was the chairman of a big company? “Hehe, his wife is in a big position and he thinks he can brag about it.” Seth mocked dispassionately. He stared at Wynn pointedly as if he could see through her clothes. Seth had coveted Wynn for a long time but had no chance to act on it. Now, when he imagined a woman like Wynn betraying her body for status, he was both angry and excited! Wynn was such a b*tch! Other relatives also looked at Philip mockingly. “That’s enough, Philip, this matter has nothi
Kirk could tell that Wynn was in a difficult position, so he suggested another alternative. “Wynn, if you really can’t help us, can you help us contact the person in charge of Milanelson Angel Investment Group? I think, with your connections, you can help us get an investment of ten million, right?” Kirk’s plan was very meticulous. Seth agreed excitedly. “Yes, Dad is right! Wynn must know the person in charge. Let alone ten million, even 100 million won’t be a problem! Right, Wynn?” Seth deliberately dug a pit for Wynn. Once she agreed, she would be humiliated if she could not get an investment of 100 million. Jacey also jumped in. “Wynn, our whole family is begging you for help. Just say the word if you’re willing to help us.” Wynn was in a pickle. On the other side, Kirk’s wife spoke to Martha. Martha could not withstand the pleas from the relatives. She pulled Wynn and said, “Wynnie, just help them out.” Having said that, Martha looked at Kirk and continued, “However
“You’re right. The mermaid is such a mysterious creature. How can anyone cure its poison?” Stanley smiled wryly, feeling sorry for himself. “Philip, you have to find a way to save my father. I’ll do anything for you if you can save him!” Yule grabbed Philip’s shoulders with agitation. He begged Philip and almost knelt at his feet. In Yule's opinion, Philip was an omnipotent and powerful existence. There was nothing he could not do. Likewise, Aslan and the others shared the same thought. Therefore, they were surprised when Philip said that he could not save Stanley. Philip sighed. In the past, he had been to places of a lower civilization where the natives were not very strong. He could do whatever he wanted and no one could do much to him even if they wanted to. However, Philip was not familiar with places of a higher civilization. Even Rabbit only knew a little and was hesitant to speak. Hence, Philip was not confident he could save Stanley. “Maybe that creature came fro
“Let’s stop making wild guesses and wait for Yule's father to explain. This creature doesn’t belong to this continent, so no one knows what’s going on.” Philip reached out and gently touched the scales in amazement. He felt that something was wrong with this mermaid. With that touch, he found that the mermaid’s scales were better than those of a dragon. Philip once found a dragon scale by chance, but the dragon scale was not as tough as the mermaid's scales. Moreover, the mermaid's scales could change into various shapes, which was amazing. “If the scales are used to make a weapon, it’ll definitely be the best treasure. Not only can it attack and defend, but also…” Before Philip could finish his words, he heard Yule's father coughing violently. He seemed in pretty bad shape. “Rascal, go and look at the fish. She’s not an ordinary fish but a mermaid I found by chance! According to ancient records, there are many similar creatures in the world of the gods, and they're a force
Almost everyone knew about the condition of Yule's father, and most of them were there to watch the fun. When Yule and the others appeared, some people could not wait to start taunting him. “Oh, you’re such a good son. Your father is already in this state, but you’re still in the mood to fool around outside. You should start preparing for your father’s wake!” “The miracle doctor has given a diagnosis, saying that your father has only a few more days to live. Stop wasting time and start preparing for the funeral!” Everyone mocked Yule, who was respected simply because of his father’s position. Now that Yule's father was dying, no one wanted to show him that respect anymore. Some people even planned to steal things from Yule’s house! With no one else to back him up, everyone thought that Yule did not deserve to stay in that luxurious house anymore. Hearing everyone’s taunts, Yule was so angry that he trembled all over, but now was no time to argue. He had to find out his fath
Very soon, everyone left the King’s Ruins. Philip had taken care of the danger, so they just had to collect the treasures. Yule and his team were grateful to Philip and flattered him along the way. After all, they would not have been able to leave the place alive so easily if not for Philip. The King’s Ruins were still dangerous even though they did not face any monsters head-on. They knew they managed to avoid most dangers because of Philip. At this moment, Yule’s communicator vibrated. Only his close family members had his contact, so Yule immediately felt a bad premonition. He walked to the corner with the communicator and spoke anxiously. It seemed that he had encountered some big trouble. Philip waited for Yule to return to the team without a word. Ten minutes later, Yule returned to the team. He looked very depressed as if he had encountered a big problem. Philip noticed his reaction but did not take the initiative to approach him. He knew that Yule would approach h
“Philip, look, I solved half the problem for you. The rest is up to you.” After saying this, Yule laughed triumphantly, blatantly disregarding Mason’s cold glare. Mason frowned and looked at Philip with apprehension. He could not verify Philip’s story, but if Philip was telling the truth, he would have lost the bet again. “Get out of our sight. We've wasted a lot of time because of you. Don't blame us for attacking you if you stay here any longer!” Aslan had a hot temper and kicked Mason when he noticed Mason's hesitance. Mason fell to the ground miserably and looked at Philip with murderous intent. “Let’s go and stop wasting our time here!” After saying this, Mason took the lead and ran away, unwilling to stay here a second longer. Philip’s strong power deterred him greatly, and Philip was not afraid of Sienna at all, which crushed Mason’s final confidence. Mason was best at using other people’s influence, but it was on the premise that others were willing to bow down to
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
