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
No one thought highly of Moray, and they did not even know what level he was at, but they knew he was not that strong or he would not have ended up in this miserable state. The stone man waved his hand calmly, and Moray fell to the ground, gasping heavily with fear in his eyes. Moray thought he could easily take the stone man down with that sneak attack, but he was sorely mistaken. The stone man was much stronger than he imagined. “I hate sneak attacks the most. Since you think so highly of yourself, go to hell.” The stone man engulfed Moray in the black energy, and Moray died before he could do anything. Philip watched the scene indifferently without taking it to heart at all. Moray’s death had nothing to do with him. The merfolk were in disbelief. They watched the scene with conflicted emotions but had to accept reality in the end. After going through so much, they were disappointed in Moray and had long wanted to leave him. Now that he was dead, they could finally choo
The stone man fell silent at Philip’s remark. He felt as if Philip was staring at his stone core and could rip him apart at any second. More importantly, he was different from ordinary practitioners of other races. He would die once he lost his stone core, and he could forget about taking over another person’s body to resurrect again. He simply wanted to become stronger, not look for trouble. “H-How did you know?” His eyes flashed with fear, clearly scared. Many people around heard Philip’s remark. They looked at the stone man thoughtfully. Since Philip was here, the stone man could not do much. In that case, they could find a way to kill the stone man. They could leave once they get the so-called stone core from the stone man. “Philip, do you mean we can leave once we get that stone core?” Lyle asked thoughtfully. He was curious because this was the first time he had heard of the stone core. Philip nodded. That was indeed the case. Suddenly, Moray, the merfolk chief, spr
“How can we leave this place?” Philip looked around but found no exit. The arrogant stone man had to tell them or no one could leave. Hearing that crucial question, everyone pricked up their ears expectantly. They could not wait to find the way out. The stone man sneered at Philip’s reaction. “Do you want to leave? Forget it. Maybe I can destroy the barrier and take you out if my strength improves, but I can’t do it at my current level. “My initial plan was to kill all of you and level up. By that time, all your flesh and blood will be part of me, so me leaving is the same as you leaving.” Philip frowned when he heard about the barrier. He closed his eyes and observed his surroundings. Sure enough, something was blocking his senses. The stone man noticed Philip’s reaction. He smiled smugly as if he had Philip in his grasp. The stone man always felt that Philip was a force to be reckoned with. On top of that, Philip was very smart. He had to know some secrets that he did n
Philip could not read their minds, but he was not interested in their opinions anyway. After all, they were nothing in his eyes. “Philip, you’re finally back. Where did that guy take you? Were you trapped in some secret realm?” When Philip appeared, Aslan approached him and handed some roasted meat to him. Aslan did many things in the last six hours, including grilling several rounds of meat. Philip took the food and glanced at Aslan. “I found a good training ground, and all of you can’t escape from that place. Get ready to be tortured.” He smiled as he took a bite of meat. Only he and Rabbit knew how dangerous that place was. Although it was no big deal for Philip, it would be a nightmare for ordinary practitioners. Aslan patted his chest confidently, not afraid at all. “What matters is your safe return. As for us, we can do anything. That guy threatened to eat us if you didn’t return in six hours!” Aslan told Philip everything that happened while he was away, and some
Although Rabbit was afraid, he felt Philip’s anger. As creatures of flesh and blood, this scene was so shocking that anyone would want to tear the murderer into pieces. More importantly, the corpses looked similar to humans, so Philip empathized with them. Apart from the ears that looked different from humans, the rest were similar. Philip went up along the river and soon heard someone talking. He saw several burly guys chatting. Although they were of different races, he could understand what they were saying. “Where did you come from?” The burly guys looked at Philip in confusion. They thought they had killed everyone, but another one popped up. However, they quickly noticed the difference between Philip and those people. He was not one of them. “Did you kill all these people?” Philip did not answer the question but asked in puzzlement. These people reeked of blood. They were obviously the murderers, but Philip wanted to hear it from them. The guys laughed arrogantly
After getting rid of the crocodile, Philip jumped up and returned to the shore with Rabbit. Although he had been fighting in the water for a while, Philip was not wet at all—a stark contrast with Rabbit. “Philip, are your clothes waterproof? Maybe I should see if I can make my fur waterproof?” After he was back to safety, Rabbit started shooting his mouth off excitedly again. He never thought he could survive. Philip was expectant when he felt the sudden increase in his power. He dragged the crocodile ashore. He thought this creature was weird. It was not a monster beast and did not have a monster core. However, it was very powerful and could fight Philip with its body alone. The monster beasts he had seen in the past could spray fire or water, fly in the air, or burrow underground. In short, they had some abilities to a certain extent. However, the crocodile in front of him did not display any abilities. It was just like an ordinary crocodile in the zoo. Despite that, ev
When they arrived at the oasis, Philip found that it covered a large area. This place could be considered a large island that looked quite luxurious and extraordinary. “We can finally have a good rest.” Rabbit leaned against a big tree comfortably. He felt relaxed as soon as he entered the oasis, which was not so hot and had abundant water resources. “The environment is quite good, but I wonder if there’s any danger.” Philip looked around with satisfaction. Suddenly, an ugly monster rushed toward them, so fast that Rabbit could not react. Rabbit was very close to the water and was taken by the monster before he could react. Philip immediately gave chase. The monster bit Rabbit and plunged into the water. Philip reached out and grabbed the monster. He knew that Rabbit was useless in such cases. Rabbit would probably be dead if the weird monster took him away. “Philip, save me!” Rabbit spluttered in the water, bobbing up and down, feeling very scared. He regretted staying
“This may look very cruel, but it wouldn’t have happened if they hadn’t attacked us,” Rabbit said with a sigh. He knew that Philip would not have done this if the ants had not treated them as food. He knew Philip too well. He would avoid trouble as much as possible. Philip would not attack for no reason even if he had to take a detour. However, the ants’ killing intent was too strong. It was bad enough if Rabbit felt scared. He just wanted to cheer for Philip. “Philip, did you notice that this place is not a secret realm but more like a world?” Rabbit said doubtfully. At first, Rabbit thought that the stone man had teleported them to a terrible secret realm, but after some time, he felt a difference between this place and a secret realm. “Although we can find various natural environments in a secret realm, they're generally false and can't appear in front of us, but everything around us is real!” The monsters they usually encountered in a secret realm would attack their s
“Wait a minute. Do you think that the black energy is approaching us?” Moray stepped back in a panic and looked around in disbelief. Hearing that, everyone looked at their surroundings. Sure enough, the black energy was getting closer. Aslan estimated that it would take six hours for the black energy to trap everyone. Aslan was calm. All the people under Philip’s command did not find the black energy dangerous. Only the losers would find it dangerous. Now that Philip was trapped, it was useless for them to worry. Aslan took out some recliners from his space ring and asked everyone to wait quietly. “Now that we’re free, let’s prepare some food and drinks. Let's not get into trouble.” At Aslan’s order, everyone took action. They had nothing to worry about. The others stared at them in surprise and amazement. Now that danger was upon them, how could these people laugh and eat without worries? They did not take the stone man seriously at all. However, they could not do
