Samuel’s expression darkened even more after seeing how overbearing the other party was. He gritted his teeth and said angrily, “Mr. Clarke, please forgive where you may. There’s no need to be so extreme.” Philip stared back quietly. Samuel could not hold himself back anymore and lashed out in rage. “Philip Clarke, don’t you dare push your luck! I have been dealing in Riverdale for many years now. My net worth is beyond hundreds of millions! The people I know are those you absolutely can’t afford to provoke! If you know what’s best for you, leave this as it is, otherwise, I’ll be fighting you to the very end!” He was truly enraged. He had never suffered such an injustice in his life before. Even after taking a step back, the other party still refused to yield a step. However, Philip remained silent. “Alright, just wait and see!” With that, Samuel dug out his phone and dialed Johann’s number. “Brother Johann, you must help me out! There’s a kid who’s determined to mess wi
The crowd dispersed and left the hotel. Philip found a corner to smoke a cigarette so that he could relieve the pressure in his chest. However, at that moment, a familiar voice sounded not far behind him.“Philip, what are you doing here?” Philip turned around and saw a puzzled Wynn walking toward him with her bag slung over her shoulder.The look on her face showed that she was displeased.Smoking again!Philip quickly stubbed out the cigarette butt and greeted her with a sly smile. “Oh, I’m here for a company dinner.”Philip was anxious and worried as he thought back to when Wynn contacted his other phone before. He was worried that his true identity had been revealed. Wynn walked closer to him and rolled her eyes as she asked, “Where’s Mila?”“Someone from my company is bringing her. I’m meeting her in a bit,” Philip replied with a chuckle. Suddenly, another familiar figure appeared before him.“Philip, I didn’t expect to see you here.” Juan had just parked his ca
Crazy!Philip must have gone mad!Was he allowed to enter that place?Did he not see the parking lot filled with BMW motorcycles? What was he planning to do?Wynn quickly hurried behind Philip, worried that he would do something stupid.Philip, on the other hand, was filled with annoyance. He strode toward the parking lot and pushed away one of the motorcyclists standing beside his bike. Then, he snatched the helmet away from his hands. Everyone naturally turned their gazes toward him. With a helmet in one hand, Philip stretched out both arms as a conceited sneer spread across his face. He gestured to the parking lot full of BMW motorcycles and roared at Wynn who was running toward him and Juan who was standing in the corner, “Wynn, let me tell you this. All the BMW motorcycles in this very parking lot belong to me, Philip Clarke! I bought them all!”His voice was as loud as rolling thunder as it echoed in the parking lot.“And this, the Arc de Triumph Hotel, is mine! I
“Wynn! Honey!” Philip snarled like a maniac as he pounced forward to hold Wynn, pressing his hands hard on her abdomen. “Don’t be afraid, it’ll be alright! You’ll be alright!” Wynn’s lips had turned white as layers of cold sweat beaded her forehead. It hurt! The hooligans instantly panicked as well and fled the scene without hesitation. It was a mess. People were taking pictures and videos to post on the internet but nobody made any calls. Juan chased behind the men but soon returned with his phone. “Hello, I’m calling from Arc de Triumph Hotel. Someone has been injured here, please send help right now! Hurry up please!” Without thinking through, Philip carried Wynn in his arms and rushed out of the parking lot like a madman. He stopped a taxi and yelled in the driver’s face, “To the hospital! Quick, to the hospital!” The driver remained calm and collected as he sped toward the hospital. However, it was the evening rush hour, so traffic was extremely congested! Time
Philip’s eyes were ice-cold, his demeanor daunting. George dared not speak at all as he kept quiet. This demeanor of his that had disappeared for seven whole years was finally revealed once again at this very moment. Tonight, the gang of hooligans was about to face the wrath of a dragon that had just awakened from the abyss. “Drive,” George ordered. The S-class sedans slowly drove away from the hospital grounds, still lined up together.Meanwhile, Lynn and her parents who were walking briskly toward the hospital entrance coincidentally passed by Philip’s car. Being the money-obsessed woman she was, Lynn could not help but eye the five to six luxury sedans as they drove past her. The cars were especially impossible to miss at nighttime. Who was this rich man? Lynn’s heart immediately jumped when she saw the car occupant’s face. The person sitting in the car that just drove past her was no other than her good-for-nothing brother-in-law, Philip Clarke. Lynn was stunned
Back at First Palace. Philip stood firmly under the pouring rain with two of his bodyguards by his side holding umbrellas over him, his demeanor stern and threatening. Meanwhile, four men were left on the grass. One or two were on their knees while the rest were crumpled on the ground. They had no clue that the person they were supposed to beat up was someone who was not to be provoked. They were beyond terrified. “Who’s Tiger?” Philip finally asked. His tone was as cold as the devil’s, and one could not help but cower at the harshness in his tone. “Tiger, Tiger Zander of Lord North Street,” one of them spat out as he continued shaking with fear. A cold look flashed in Philip’s eyes. On the other hand, George who was standing behind Philip under the umbrella let out a deep sigh as he pulled out his phone to call Theo. In the meantime. At Theo’s manor. It was the middle of the night when he received a call from an anxious Tiger saying that something bad had happene
Philip ran straight into the hospital. His face instantly paled when he saw Wynn lying in the hospital bed. There were a few other people gathered in the room. His mother and father-in-law, Martha and Charles, stared at Philip unpleasantly. They desperately wished for this good-for-nothing to disappear from their life forever.Lynn and her parents were present in the room as well, each of them giving Philip an odd look as if he had committed a huge mistake while they muttered to each other under their breaths.“How’s Wynn?” Philip asked as he jogged toward the hospital bed. However…Slap! A crisp smack rang through the air. Martha had slapped Philip across the face angrily. Her face turned red with anger as she set her frosty gaze on him. “How dare you show your face here again? Look what you did to Wynnie! I will never forgive you if anything happens to my daughter!” Martha shrieked as she began throwing punches at Philip, venting all her anger and grievances on him.
Listening to Philip's scream felt as painful as having thorns all over your body.When Philip stopped talking, the atmosphere in the ward became heavy. Just then, Juan, who had gone out, returned. He saw that everyone was present, including Philip. “How dare you come here?” Juan grabbed Philip angrily by his collar. “Haven’t you done enough to Wynn? Why are you even here?” Juan did not want to see someone as useless as Philip here.If it were not for him wanting to show off, would Wynn be in the state she was in now? Philip shook free of Juan’s grasp and glared at him, his eyes dark as he spoke, “Juan, what business do you have here? Wynn is my wife, you get out of here!” When in front of his in-laws, Philip had no choice. However, in front of Juan, he could never be vulnerable. “Shut up!” Charles spoke up at this point. He pointed toward the door as he bellowed at Philip, “You’re the one who needs to get out!” Lynn watched in silence as she tapped on her phone, rep
Fitz felt particularly bad at the thought that he failed to protect his people. He vowed to take revenge. People of other races shared the same thoughts. Everyone thought that their people had gone out to seek ways to leave but were met with an accident. Unexpectedly, they were harmed by the spider people, which was simply despicable and unacceptable. “You just need to sacrifice one more person for everyone to leave this dangerous place and lift the curse from us,” Weaver said. Everyone's eyes turned bloodshot at his words, shocked that Weaver would say that so openly. “Hehe, you’re really bold to perform a sacrifice. Why not use one of your own?” Fitz laughed and stared at Weaver. Weaver scowled. Of course, the idea crossed his mind, but the records stated that they had to use other races for sacrifice. Using their own people as sacrifice would void it, so they had to use others. This would not only reduce the other party’s manpower but also save a lot of effort. However,
Philip wanted to figure out what the spider people were up to. It looked like they had been planning this for a long time, which was terrifying. He had to let the others know about this. Everyone had the right to know. Moreover, the pitiful magpie woman was scared out of her wits. Philip had to bring her home. “Let's go back now. We’ll explore this place later. Do you want to stay here or go out with us?” Philip looked at Celeste curiously. He did not think she was brave enough to venture out. Sure enough, Celeste tugged at the corner of her clothes as she pondered. “I'll go out with you!” Celeste finally decided after much deliberation. Since she had decided to follow Philip, there was no point in hiding here anymore. She had to pluck up the courage. Celeste had lived in the forest for very long and had never gone out before, so she was curious about the outside world. “I want to see the outside world!” Celeste said nervously. Philip simply nodded without a word. The
At this point, Philip sprang into action. He appeared in front of the other party, catching them off guard. “Who allowed you to kill people for no reason?” The spider people were shocked by Philip’s sudden appearance. They were frightened to see someone there, and he was none other than the human who had strayed into this place by accident. The spiders panicked and wanted to run, but Philip quickly released Puffy. The spider people could not escape because of the curse placed on them and also because of Puffy's existence. The passage only allowed entry, not exit. When anyone stepped into that passage, they would not only come under Puffy’s attack but also suffer a gut-wrenching pain. They felt something was wrong when they tried to escape. Someone noticed Puffy approaching them and yelled in fear, “It’s that deadly thing!” Someone recognized Puffy and ran away screaming. They had no chance of winning against Puffy, so they had no choice but to run. Seeing someone running aw
Philip could tell that Celeste wanted to help, but she was too weak to do anything. “Don’t worry so much. Let’s wait and see what happens. If possible, we won’t stand by and do nothing. These people are simply outrageous.” Philip did not have a good impression of the spider people, and this incident made it worse. “Not bad!” Rabbit hopped onto Celeste’s shoulder excitedly. Ever since he found out that Celeste had no ability, he liked her even more. He liked people who had no combat power. Except for that extra eye, there was nothing strange about her. Besides, she was quite a beautiful woman, so Rabbit was fond of her. “Philip will take care of it. Don’t worry about it. He’s an outstanding man who fights for justice. You’ll have a good life if you follow Philip, especially since you have that ability but are powerless to take care of yourself. I’m sure you need someone to protect you,” Rabbit chattered away. Rabbit knew how special Celeste’s ability was. She would be of gr
Celeste seemed simple and kind, and after she told Philip everything she knew, Philip and Rabbit gradually changed their minds about her for the better. “We actually learned such a big secret this time. What a surprise!” Philip exclaimed. He followed Celeste to the altar, which was very far away. Before they reached the altar, they smelled a strong stench of blood. Philip frowned at this unexpected development. Rabbit covered his nose in surprise at the strong stench of blood. “Wait, I don’t think it’s human blood.” Philip sensed that the blood came from the few pitiful races. “I can smell it. Except for the spider people, I smell the blood of other races!” At this moment, a soft sound came from the side. Celeste quickly pulled Philip and Rabbit to hide in the corner. Celeste had lost the ability to be invisible, so she could only take Philip to hide in a panic. She knew that they could not expose themselves. “Someone is coming. Stay here and don’t do anything. You’ll f
“No one ever comes to my place. You must be outsiders.” Celeste was curious, wondering who Philip was. Celeste knew about the four unique races, but Philip’s appearance and form did not fit any of them. “You’re right. I’m an outsider. I wanted to know something, so I came to the forest. It’s best if you can give me an answer. I don’t intend to harm anyone. If you can answer my questions, I’ll leave and remove the curse on you as well,” Philip persuaded her. He felt that the woman was quite sincere, different from what he imagined. In that case, there was no need to make things difficult for her. Besides, he did not feel a murderous vibe in her, so she had probably never done anything bad. Philip had no reason to make things difficult for someone who liked to hide and sing. “Go ahead. I’ll answer you if I know, but I don’t really know much. I usually stay in my own territory and have no contact with the outside world. Even the other races don't know of my existence.” Rabbit
Philip felt that there was no problem with his hearing. Someone was humming a song, and the tune sounded very strange and spooky in the dark forest. Rabbit frowned and nodded. He also heard the strange sound and was scared. “Who has nothing better to do but to sing here?” Rabbit nervously grabbed the corner of Philip's clothes, afraid that Philip would leave him behind. Philip shook his head. According to the others, no one would come here for no reason. Due to various dangers in the forest, they would only wander around the edge without seeking trouble in the depths. In that case, the abrupt singing voice was very strange, indeed. “Philip, don't be nervous. Stay calm.” Rabbit's voice was trembling. Although Rabbit kept telling Philip to stay calm, he was already freaking out, so scared that he nearly wanted to run away. Philip knew Rabbit’s character, so he did not comment. He simply observed the surroundings and listened carefully to the sound, which was so ethereal tha
Philip took Puffy along and quickly arrived in a forest where the other races usually hunted, so they should not face any danger here. As soon as Philip left, a woman appeared in the corner and looked in the direction where Philip left with a conflicted look on her face. “Should I follow him?” Ariadna had been left behind in the snake people’s village. She had no friends, and no one paid her any attention. Sometimes, they even displayed their ridicule and disdain for her. She did not get good treatment even though she was a junior from the outside world. In desperation, Ariadna decided to follow Philip. Unexpectedly, she saw Philip with a cute kid the next second. Ariadna was surprised to see that Philip had such a big and cute child. “Wait, that kid looks a little weird.” Due to the distance, Ariadna could not see what the kid looked like, but his color and body shape seemed different from that of normal people. After much deliberation, Ariadna decided to tag along, co
“I’ll look around and find out what’s going on. Don’t worry about me. Look for Ronan if anything crops up.” Philip decided to leave Ronan in charge. Ronan did not object. He knew that Philip wanted to train him. He rarely interacted with others, so he had poor social skills. He had improved with Philip’s help, but his skills were still nothing compared to Philip’s subordinates. He was deeply moved by the opportunity that Philip had given him. “Sure enough, heroes will emerge from the youth. You two will have a bright future!” Wren said excitedly. Philip did not comment. After a few pleasantries, he wandered around with Rabbit. Selma and her people had no time for Philip. They finally found their predecessors, so they had many questions to solve. Philip was most interested in getting to the bottom of this mysterious place. It felt more like a cage designed to trap them. It was devoid of rich energy and other resources suitable for them. What was the purpose of the person b
