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
“What? You want to see me kneel down and apologize?” Seth deliberately raised his voice, looked at Philip amusedly, and poked him on the chest rudely with one finger. He said, “Philip, do you have a screw loose somewhere? How dare you say such words?” Philip grinned broadly. “Very soon.” Very soon? All the relatives were confused by Philip. They had no idea what he was talking about. “Philip, are you done humiliating yourself? It’s really my bad luck to have a son-in-law like you!” Martha got up, pointed at Philip, and began to swear unscrupulously, “Get lost, get lost at once!” Martha really hated Philip for embarrassing her. She was finally able to brag in front of her relatives, but Philip ruined it for her. She loathed him! Fortunately, the brat had signed the agreement. Otherwise, she would be at a loss. Following Martha’s scolding, the relatives also added their two cents’ worth. Seth chuckled and patted Philip on the shoulder as he said, “What did you mean
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
