George immediately explained. “Young Master, the other party’s name is Caesar Bailey, a bigwig in the entertainment industry. With three film and television companies under his name, his assets are worth over 10 billion! Besides, he’s the benchmark in the industry, commonly known as Master Bailey within the ranks. He has a very good relationship with the bosses and popular stars of many well-known companies, and they often work hand in hand. If we make a move against him, that means launching an attack on almost half the entertainment industry. It might affect our very foundations.” Philip’s face had already turned very sullen at this time. He snorted coldly. “Are you telling me to swallow this down?” “You’ve misunderstood me, Young Master. The circle of influence involved in this matter is very large, so I hope that you can think twice about it. You can easily clear all public opinion on the internet, but how are you going to deal with Caesar Bailey? Regardless, of course I’ll lis
Ten billion. For his coffin?! This was intimidation! Naked threat! Caesar’s expression instantly turned unpleasant. He had never been threatened like this. There was silence on the phone as if a storm was brewing. After more than ten seconds, Caesar enunciated each word, “Young man, your thoughts are dangerous. Are you threatening me? If you can find my number, you should know who I am. Do you really think you have the ability to fight against my Bailey family?!” This was Caesar’s pride. He had many resources on hand. Moreover, he had three film and television companies and ties to many corporate bosses. He was completely fearless! A worthless live-in son-in-law dared to open his mouth in front of him! What foolish wishful thinking! However, on the other end, Philip said in a calm but frigid tone, “Caesar Bailey, I advise you to prepare for it, because the Bailey family will collapse in the next 24 hours. No matter who you are, what means you have, or how many trump
At the same time in the Bailey family’s standalone villa. Caesar Bailey sat on the luxurious leather sofa in the living room with two maids standing beside him, waiting on him. Robbie stood silently on the side, one arm in a plaster cast. “The other party refused to back down and wants to fight to the end,” Caesar said slowly. It was really the first time he had met such an uncompromising person. Robbie’s expression sank, but he said nonchalantly, “Godfather, I think that Philip Clarke is just putting on airs. How can he compare to you? He’s nothing but a live-in son-in-law who thinks too highly of himself. Now that the entire web is attacking his wife, I’m afraid he must be wondering how many times he has been cucked!” There was only one Philip Clarke. As long as his godfather made a move, even ten Philip Clarkes would not be his opponent. That was how strong Robbie’s confidence was. Caesar flicked him a cold glance and said, “Okay, I'll take care of this by myself. St
Immediately afterward, the people on the screen came to blows. Seeing this, Caesar exploded! Furious, he smashed the remote on the floor. The butler then handed him an iPad. The discussion regarding Wynn and Mila had already disappeared from the forums. Now, it was replaced by reports of the anonymous female staff talking about Beyond Media! It completely flooded the entire network! There were even some people who had gotten to the bottom of the inner workings of Beyond Media’s film and television company, and of course, Caesar Bailey was on the list. Subsequently, all the dirty linen involving Caesar was exposed in batches. It was getting more and more intense! Within half an hour, the stocks of all three film and television companies under Caesar Bailey’s name took a dive! Caesar quickly contacted his staff and yelled with a roar, “What the hell is happening? Hasn't this matter been suppressed? Why did it come out again?! What are the reporters doing? I gave them
Caesar smiled bitterly and said, “I know. He told me that the other party has fatal evidence against me, but I refuse to believe it. I’ve done this for so many years. Everything has been cleaned up properly. For this person to frame me like this, he must be someone in the industry. It’s most likely one of those old guys!”“Okay, I see. I’ll talk to Jim Todd.” On the other end of the line, Hank York also became serious. At this moment, he was sitting in an office somewhere. The environment was very luxurious, befitting of his status as a big boss. The southern headquarters of the Film and Television Association was in charge of the resources of film and television companies in 12 cities along the coast. It had deep influence and great authority. Hank thought for a moment before he took out the phonebook and dialed a number. At the same time in a general manager’s office of a particular network channel. Jim was excitedly looking at a piece of antique porcelain on his table w
Back to the press conference by the medical association branch. Half an hour earlier. At the scene, more than a dozen media attended while hundreds of people watched. They were mostly related agencies and normal citizens. At half-past eight, Wynn and her team in three black Mercedeses stopped at the entrance of the medical association branch office. “They’re here! It’s Beacon’s director, Wynn Johnston!” A sudden shout came from the crowd, and a group of media with cameras of different makes and sizes rushed over. When Wynn stepped down from the car, she received warm greetings from the media. “Madam Johnston, what do you have to say about Beacon’s disqualification from the medical association branch this time?” “Madam Johnston, can you confirm that your daughter belongs to your husband?” “Madam Johnston, exactly how many lovers have you had in the past? Did you rely on your body to get to this position today?” The remarks from the media were each more scathing tha
Sirius Worley was full of anger at the moment. He never imagined that Wynn would snub him and actually dared to slap him in public so brashly like that! He was livid! “You dare to hit me? B*tch! You’re asking for it!” Sirius exploded on the spot, staring at Wynn with cold eyes like he was going to swallow her whole. Several bodyguards behind Wynn also stepped forward and stood in front of her, staring at Sirius. “Mr. Worley, I appreciate your kindness, but I have to say that someone like you is really scum in the medical world. Please excuse me!” Wynn said coldly, no longer looking at Sirius. “Very well, just you wait. You’ll be begging me on your knees very soon!” Sirius glanced at the security guards brought by Wynn, waved his hands angrily, and left. He would definitely seek vengeance for this slap! After Sirius left, he walked to the door, quickly dialed a number, and gritted his teeth while saying, “Hurry up and arrange for more people to come over. I want to sha
With that said, Hendricks turned around and left. Wynn stood there. Mindy and the others also hurriedly walked over and asked, “Madam Johnston, how did it go? Did he agree?” Wynn shook her head and said, “Try to contact President Smyth of Golden City as soon as possible.” Mindy said anxiously, “We can’t get in touch with him. His phone is switched off.” Wynn frowned, turning her head to look at the press conference site. The media were still entering the premises. It seemed that she had made a decision. She said, “Let me do it.” With that, she walked aside with her mobile phone and dialed Muriel's number. There was no other way but to ask her for help. As soon as the call was connected, Muriel's contemptuous laughter sounded. “Oh, what’s the occasion today for Chairwoman Johnston to call me personally?” Wynn restrained her emotions as much as possible, lowered her stance, and said, “Muriel, on account that we’ve been classmates for so many years, please help me get in t
“Don’t worry. He’s not as powerful as you think. Besides, you can take control of my body at the critical moment, can’t you?” Abele patted her chest confidently. Hearing that, the mysterious voice stopped wasting its breath on Abele. They arrived at Philip’s residence at this point. They were surprised to find the door wide open as if Philip was waiting for their arrival. “That’s strange. Does he always leave the door open, or is he prepared to deal with us?” Abele was puzzled and pushed the door open carefully. Maybe the door was too old, so it made a creaking sound, which was quite unpleasant. There was no one behind the door. “What’s going on?” The ugly elves entered the garden but only saw some empty teacups with no sign of anyone. “They must have heard the news and ran away in advance or this place wouldn’t be empty now!” Abele was disappointed that they ran so quickly. In reality, Philip had stuffed everyone in Verge Tower while he watched the scene in a hidden co
“Take this pill and you won’t have to go around with this scary face anymore. Even if it doesn't scare our women, it's not good to scare other people.” Philip helped Loony as a show of his sincerity. He was a pitiful man, after all. “That’s great. I’ve not seen a pill for many years!” He seemed to trust Philip and swallowed the pill Philip gave him without hesitation. He looked very satisfied as if he was Philip’s devoted follower. After he swallowed the pill, his injuries healed before everyone’s eyes, and he was soon back to normal. Loony was surprised by that powerful force and trusted Philip even more. Philip set a barrier around Loony and gave him a room to rest. The barrier he set could shield Loony and buy them some time. He knew that the ugly elves were right on their tail, and it was also about time for the merfolk to find them. Philip would be in trouble if everyone showed up at the same time. Therefore, it was better to conceal Loony and take care of the thin
“I’m running out of time. I have a curse on me, and they can find my whereabouts. I’ll die if you don’t help me.” “You said you can help me escape from this world. What do you mean by that?” Philip was more interested in this topic. After all, everyone would think that the world of the gods was a good place. Why would anyone choose to leave? Unless that person was a fool. This world was full of energy and resources. If humans were not seen as outcasts, Philip could not understand why anyone would want to leave. “This world is nothing but a huge cage. Those people are unaware of it because they're trapped inside. No one knows that they're nothing but the playthings of the so-called upper gods. They’ll be abandoned once the interest wears off one day!” Hearing that, Aslan came to a conclusion. This guy was no doubt a mental patient who should be sent to the hospital for treatment. “Philip, do you believe him? I think he’s nothing but a patient from a mental asylum.” Aslan f
“What’s this vintage family?” Philip had never heard of this family in all the worlds he traveled, so he had no idea what the other party was talking about. “My family is proficient in voodoo and has always used it to embark on the path of practice. But our powerful practice makes us a prime target for those with ulterior motives too.” The people of this family were very powerful, so everyone envied them and tried to harm them. “The members of my family led a normal life back then, but later, many people were deceived into marrying people of other races. As a result, the offspring of such pairings became monsters without legs! “We'd only find one normal child among a dozen children, which is a great blow to our family. No one could accept it! “I’m the only normal child among my batch of children, so I have a distinguished status. Something happened to my family after I was born, so I’m probably the last descendant of my family.” Philip was very excited to hear the other p
Meanwhile, Philip sensed that someone was fast approaching them. “Everyone, watch out. I sense something coming for us,” Philip said warily. There was a loud knock on the door. Lyle walked over curiously and opened the door. He saw a disheveled man standing at the door and staring at him. It was a scary sight, indeed. “What the hell? Dude, don’t scare me in broad daylight! What are you doing?” Lyle cursed in fright. He never dreamed that he would see such a horrible scene. The man was covered in terrifying wounds, some so deep that the bones could be seen. He had clearly been injured for a while. His face also looked incomplete as if his flesh had been gnawed alive by something. He was just unpleasant to look at. Aslan and the others rushed over, curious to see what frightened Lyle so badly. Everyone frowned at the sight of the man, shocked by his terrifying appearance. “Whoa!” Even the talkative Aslan was at a loss for words. While he sympathized with the other party,
Sure enough, the pill was nothing special. Apart from appearing quite tasty, the pill had no other effect. It was considered a useless item. “Humans are quite good at making pills. It’d be great if I had that ability too,” Akash said eagerly. He had studied this topic with others before, but they concluded that no other race had the talent to make pills apart from humans. Philip continued chatting with Akash, all the time wondering who he was. He could easily tell whether the other person's face was real or fake. This person did not disguise himself. His face was real. “Philip, I sense something wrong,” Lyle muttered under his breath. He sensed a strange vibe. A strong fishy smell was coming from a distance. Philip immediately recognized the source of the fishy smell. Who else could it be but the ugly elves? Abele was heading to the city with her troops. They knew that attacking these people was a matter of life and death. “We need to watch out. Don’t give them a chance
At this time, Akash ran over as if he were shocked to hear that sound. “Did you hear a deafening sound just now? I felt uncomfortable all over after that as if something was staring at me!” Akash said in a panic. He was now very jittery and afraid of everything. “Don’t worry, it’s probably an explosion somewhere,” Philip said. Akash was startled as if he could not understand Philip’s meaning. “Explosion? Is it a demon? That’d be very bad!” Akash looked around anxiously, feeling nothing else but panic. “Anyway, this is strange. No one knows what’s happening, so let’s just take it one step at a time. If a demon appears, we have no choice but to face it.” Philip waved his hand, not interested in this topic. They would have to face it, come hell or high water. Akash nodded and sat drinking his cup of tea with a bad premonition lingering in his heart. “Let’s hope you’re right.” Philip sat down and felt that something was wrong with Akash’s reaction. He probably knew something
The captured elves would suffer various hardships and become the humans' pitiful plaything. To prevent it from happening again, Akash forbade his people from stepping into the outside world. Therefore, it was ironic for him to summon his people here. “Find a room and have a good rest while you wait for your people to arrive.” Philip pointed to one of the empty rooms. Akash was exhausted after a long journey. Even though he had drunk a pot of tea, his mental state was not very good. He would collapse very soon without a good rest. Akash nodded. He did not refuse Philip's kindness because he knew he could not hold on much longer. He felt very unhappy at the thought of the upcoming battle.… At this time, the place responsible for imprisoning humans was getting restless as if the barriers were weakening. “Comrades, keep it up. I can feel the barriers weakening. We can leave soon!” A man shouted, and his words motivated everyone. Everyone was excited and worked harder to bre
“That’s great. I knew that our sacred tree would never lie to me. Only you’d dare to help me in this situation.” Akash was moved to tears by Philip’s words. He never dreamed that Philip was willing to help him. “I’ll try to contact the other elf warriors and see if I can summon them. Our combat effectiveness will improve significantly with their help.” Akash went to a corner to contact the elf warriors using a special method. They would sense it if they were still alive. However, he forgot an important thing. Abele was once a member of the family and knew about it too. She could feel the call the same as other warriors. As Akash summoned the warriors, Abele smiled wickedly. She did not expect Akash to summon his people so soon. “This took no effort at all. I was thinking if I should use my bloodline to search for his trace, but he turned up right at my doorstep. How convenient.” Abele found Akash’s location but was puzzled by his choice. “Is he crazy? Why is he in the h
