A female assistant walked in quickly and shouted in shock, “Mr. Worley, we suddenly received five billion in our account!” Chink! Instantly, the entire conference room fell into a pin-drop silence! Hendricks was in disbelief and asked repeatedly, “Are you sure? Five billion?!” The female assistant nodded with certainty and even showed Hendricks the transaction details. At one glance, Hendricks already knew that something was amiss! He stared at Philip fixedly. This guy actually transferred five billion to him just like that! Who the hell was he? At this moment, Hendricks was full of apprehension. He understood very well that a person who could transfer five billion at will was definitely not an existence he could easily provoke! The combined value of the Worley brothers was merely a few hundred million! Terrifying! At this moment, Sirius just learned of the transfer of five billion and immediately whispered in Hendricks’s ears, his gaze full of murderous intent!
“You… You scheming son of a b*tch!” Hendricks’s eyes widened as he stared at Philip incredulously. Damn it! He still refused to let them off the hook despite paying the three billion! Obviously, he had not planned to let the brothers leave right from the very start! Philip sneered, “Hendricks Worley, I’ve never intended to let you off. I already said that the Worley brothers will meet their downfall today!” Hahaha! Hendricks laughed, not intending to conceal anything any longer. He roared angrily, yelling, “Philip Clarke! Always leave a way out for others and don’t drive us to our wits’ end! We’re not pushovers! I have the medical association backing me up. If you dare to lay a finger on me, you, Beacon, and your wife will pay a hefty price for it!” Hendricks had no other choice but to make use of the medical association to threaten the other party. He realized that Philip was serious about not letting him go. “The medical association, huh? Hehe, then I’m not afraid t
At Caesar Bailey’s single-unit villa. Although Hank York had just called to inform him that the matter was resolved, he was still uneasy. The reason was simple. Caesar had no idea who was behind the attack on him this time. Moreover, the opponent's move was clearly aimed to screw him over! Caesar had been in this business for so many years and had not faced any tough opponents so far. Furthermore, his circle was not only in Riverdale but also in Golden City and Capital City. He was Caesar Bailey—one of the three big names in the entertainment industry. Who would he be afraid of? That kind of person simply did not exist. However, if that person made a move against him, then he needed to be on guard. “Robbie, are you sure the other party is nothing but a live-in son-in-law?” Caesar suddenly asked. This was because he recalled Philip's previous threats and warnings to him. Moreover, they were exposed shortly after Philip threatened him. It was too much of a coincid
This time, Caesar Bailey finally lost his composure! He did not expect all his artists to quit his company and for his movies to be taken down. This was enough to ruin him! Caesar anxiously asked, “What’s the exact situation? How could a new film and television company suddenly pop up? Who’s the other party? Who has the balls to dare to fight with me?” Caesar’s brain churned rapidly when he immediately realized. The other party was obviously coming at him. First, they poached his artists. Then, they took his films down. The people behind this had great means! Caesar understood that someone who could employ such methods was definitely a heavyweight! This was not only about having money but also about having connections. More importantly, how could released movies be taken down so casually? That person must have used some connections! Moreover, it was no small feat to take down so many movies so rapidly! The staff on the other end of the call also looked blank and
As soon as the call was connected, Hank’s laughter came from the other end. “I knew you’d call me. Don’t worry. I already found the one behind this, and I also checked the newly established film and television company.” Caesar breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Who is it?” “I haven’t found the actual person yet, but the boss of the film company has agreed to meet us. We can go over there to discuss it,” Hank said. Caesar was startled for a moment before saying coldly, “What’s there to talk about? They actually dare to show their teeth and claws at me. They must be tired of living.” Caesar was very angry. “Hey, Old Bailey, we’re similar people after all. Let's talk about it. Maybe we can cooperate. Just think about it. They’re an opponent who can catch you off guard. If we don’t cooperate with them, plenty of other people will.” Hank suggested. “Okay.” Caesar finally nodded and agreed. After all, he was also interested to find out who the other party was. Soon, Caesar
Caesar laughed cruelly and sinisterly. Unexpectedly, the other party ignored his warning and insisted on fighting with him. Good! Very well! He looked forward to seeing what resources this Philip Clarke had to cause his downfall! Caesar narrowed his eyes and sneered, “Since you’re unwilling to talk, don’t blame me for being ruthless! Make my company go bankrupt? Very well, let’s see what methods you have! However, before that, I must remind you, be careful or you’ll end up dead yourself!” “Very good, Caesar Bailey. I hope you can still remember what you said to me today when you finally kneel and beg me!” With that said, Philip looked at Hank coldly and warned. “If you insist on getting involved, I don’t mind dragging the Film and Television Association down with him.” Hank was stunned. The other party's tone was too arrogant! Did they want to deal with the Film and Television Association too? A reshuffle? Hank’s shoulders shook. At first, he thought that he cou
Theo looked at him coldly and said, “Hank, I advise you not to get involved in this matter. Mr. Clarke doesn’t want additional trouble. But if you insist on protecting Caesar Bailey, then don’t blame me for being merciless!” Hank frowned and glanced at Caesar, seemingly having a silent discussion. Caesar even gestured two fingers at him. Philip naturally saw this communication. However, he was unperturbed. They were just some small potatoes. The outcome would be the same anyway. Then, Hank stood up straight and chuckled. “Theo, I used to call you Mr. Theo in return for your kindness, but now, the world has changed. If you want to use your identity as the underground king of Riverdale to pressure me now, I'm afraid you won't be able to suppress it.” Was Hank not afraid of Theo? Of course, he was. However, the current situation was no longer something that could be solved with fear. Hank and Caesar were already on the same boat. One could not do without the other. A
“Mr. York, you haven’t called me in such a long time. I thought you didn’t need us anymore.” There was a teasing laugh on the other end of the call. Hank’s tone was low as he said, “Tony, I don’t have time to chat with you. Gather your men. There’s a big job today.” The other end fell silent, seemingly moving to a quiet area. He said, “What happened, Mr. York? Did someone mess with you?” Hank nodded and said, “Yeah, I’ll send you the information right away. I don’t care what method you use, just try to abduct him. If that’s impossible, you may kill him on the spot, but I want to see the corpse with my own eyes. After it’s done, I’ll give you ten million!” Hank was quite generous. Tony immediately agreed. “Okay, I’ll arrange for it immediately.” After the call was disconnected, Caesar asked, “Tony? The guy on the international wanted list?” Hank nodded and said, “That’s him! He started as a mercenary, known for his ruthlessness and high kill count. He came here six years
“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
