At this moment, Klein really could not control himself any longer, and his tone became a lot colder. The other party had humiliated him over and over again. It was absolutely obnoxious! Wynn just sat there quietly and had no intentions to intervene at all. She seemed to have understood what Philip was about to do. When they first entered, the entire private room was dominated by Klein Hane. Now, the situation was completely reversed with Philip in control now. “Haha, Mr. Hane, don’t be angry. I’m just an uncultured person. Let’s stop beating around the bush and speak directly.” Philip flicked a glance at Klein’s sullen face and said, “Mr. Hane, I don’t think we need to state the true purpose for the dinner invitation tonight. Everyone should be well aware of that. Since we’re all in sync, why continue wasting time here? Isn’t it better for us to go straight to the main topic?” Klein looked at Philip and suddenly felt a hint of coldness in the air. At the same time, he also
Several of his nephew’s ribs were broken and his internal organs were damaged. If not for his nephew’s good fortune, he would have died long ago! This man dared to say he had shown mercy? He was obviously gunning for his life! Klein could not stand by and watch as a member of the Hane family was oppressed like this. It was such a blatant degree of bullying at that! The Hane family was one of the most affluent families of Capital City! They would never tolerate such abuse from outsiders! “You haven't experienced his pain. He’s now covered in bandages and has lost his previous sunny disposition. He has become a gloomy person and it’s all caused by you! You ruined his life and his future!” Klein’s words are completely exaggerated. He was setting up the stage first! “Hehe, I ruined his life?” Philip mocked, “Excuse me, but you need to wake up to reality. A rotten person like your nephew must have ruined countless lives. Aren’t you embarrassed to talk to me about this? All
After hearing this, Philip decided not to leave. He pulled a chair, sat down, and said, “It sounds as if you have some unspoken grievances. Say your piece. I’m all ears.” Klein said solemnly, “It’s simple. You must accept the penalty.” “Did I hear it right?” Philip was stunned for a few seconds when he heard the words. Then, he mockingly said, “Are you talking to me about punishment? In that case, I believe that good-for-nothing nephew of yours should have been arrested a long time ago.” Klein frowned and retorted, “You don’t have to worry about that. If you committed the crime, you have to bear the consequences.” He knew in his heart that even though his nephew might behave badly, he was still his nephew after all. As his uncle, he had to avenge him! Philip shook his head helplessly at Klein’s insistence. “Whether this matter is my fault or your nephew's fault, you should know better than anyone else. You just want to vent some frustrations on your nephew or the Hane fam
Wynn took a few steps forward, stopped in front of Chip, and frowned as she said coldly, “Who are you? Why are you taking him away?” Chip gave Wynn a sideways glance and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he immediately scorned. “Why do you care? Don’t stick your head into the Hane family’s business!” “Is that so?” Wynn’s face was stony. “Is the Hane family above the law?” Wynn wanted to say more, but Philip pulled her clothes gently and said with a grin, “Don’t worry. I’ll be fine. Just go outside and wait for me.” Wynn was hesitant but finally nodded. “By the way, I’ve made arrangements for your safety too,” Philip said with a grin. Looking at Philip’s serious eyes, Wynn was still a little worried. “What about you?” Philip said, “Don’t worry about me. Small potatoes like them can’t kick up a big storm. I have my ways.” Wynn’s expression gradually eased. She knew that she had to make some preparations in advance. If something really happened to Philip, she ne
“What are you waiting for? Take him away now!” Chip shouted at his men. The men noticed that their leader was angry and quickly tried to grab hold of Philip. However, the latter suddenly turned around. A pair of gloomy eyes was bursting out with a cold light, staring at Chip. Chip frowned. He had never seen such a fierce gaze before. His heart thumped as he shouted, “Why are you still in a daze? Take him away!” This time, Philip did not resist but allowed them to take him out of the private room. Philip narrowed his eyes and stared at Chip. “Do you know Chuck Norton?” Philip suddenly asked. “What do you mean?” Chip did not understand why Philip had suddenly asked this question. However, he did know Chuck Norton because Chuck was his brother! His brother was in charge of external affairs back then, and he was responsible for unorthodox matters. Moreover, Chuck was the most outstanding talent in his generation. His martial arts skills were superb! However, it was
Klein let out a sigh of relief when everyone in the private room had left. Wynn was very intense. However, Klein Hane would not fear anyone! After all, he was a member of the Hane family of Capital City! Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, Klein took a sip of the red wine. At this moment, the door of the room was also pushed open from the outside. A man with a sullen face walked in. Dressed in a black leather jacket, the aura he exuded was very cold. As soon as he entered the door, he sat down and started eating the food on the table. Klein looked at the man with a smile and said, “Why? Are you done?” The man took a few mouthfuls, nodded, and said, “How is it?” Klein sat down, poured him a glass of red wine, and said, “He has been taken away. I hope you can take care of the rest.” The newcomer was none other than Baloo! He wiped his mouth silently, took a sip of red wine, and got up before saying, “I’m off.” “Wait a minute.” Klein called out to Baloo, took
“Hehe, what’s the point of saying this now? Now that you’re in my hands and this place is full of my people, getting you to talk is a piece of cake. Of course, it’ll be better for you if you don’t force me to do it. We’re not bloodthirsty people after all,” Chip said impatiently. He did not want to waste time talking to Philip. However, in the next second, his eyes widened as he inhaled in shock. Philip raised his hands and clenched his fists. Immediately, he saw the handcuffs changing shape right in front of his eyes! In just a few seconds, Philip had broken the pair of shiny silver locks! Chip was so shocked that he took a few steps back. Was this the strength a human could possess? After breaking the handcuffs, Philip sneered faintly and flexed his wrists. Looking at the three dumbfounded people in front of him, he said, “Do you know what happened to Chuck back then?” Chip was stunned, his back already drenched in a cold sweat. Of course he knew about how his brother h
Chip was not a fool. Philip’s nonchalant attitude was enough to indicate some problems! This man could not be provoked. Otherwise, he would end up just like Chuck! However, he had already offended him! Under tremendous pressure, people would be prone to wild imagination, just as Chip was facing now! Philip looked at the flustered Chip, the smile on his face still as bright as summer. In Chip’s eyes, however, that smile was terrifying! “I’d advise you to not make any judgments before making sure of the situation, or you’ll get yourself into trouble. Just like the Hane family, acting all high and mighty like this. They’re really not afraid of death,” Philip said indifferently. “Boy, don’t try to scare me. The Hane family is not as wretched as you say!” Chip scorned. “Perhaps in your eyes, the Hane family is very impressive and unattainable.” Philip continued calmly, “But in my eyes, they’re nothing but insects.” Chip was completely flabbergasted by Philip’s intensity now.
Aslan and the others were aware of Akash’s fake identity too. No one wanted to interact with him, but they had to greet him to avoid exposing themselves. At the same time, Marina arrived with her father and other family members. To be on the safe side, they did not meet Philip collectively but left some backup plans. “Marina, as your father, I have to remind you that I won’t treat him kindly if I find out that he’s not a good person,” the chief said solemnly. He felt a little uneasy at the thought of meeting his daughter’s crush. He wondered if Philip had a good character, how many people he had in his family, and whether he was worthy of his precious daughter. However, even if Philip was worthy, he would not agree to their relationship. After all, they belonged to two different species. What if they gave birth to a fish creature? The beautiful merfolk would never allow those ugly creatures to tarnish their reputation. “Dad, you think too much. I have no ideas about him
The call between the two ended after a brief exchange. Rodney smiled in disdain. He was aware of his mission, but he had no idea that the Loony he was looking for was right next to him. He only knew that Philip was quite strong and had many treasures on hand. “Everything will be different once I get the elf water. At that time, this bunch of stupid guys…” Although the demons could not comprehend the book very well, they understood the general content written on it. They needed elf water if they wanted to get rid of the identity of demons. Although it was harmful to them, it could purify their bodies in combination with certain spells. Unfortunately, they just found the secret and finally found the elves when they realized that someone had wiped out the elves, which was infuriating. Rodney found Philip because he knew that Philip had the elf water. Loony was his second mission.… The night passed quickly, and Philip and Loony were chatting so exuberantly that they forgot
“I have to take responsibility for it. Demons were not so strong back then. They became so powerful because of my book. That book can be considered a divine artifact, and its contents have a great effect on all creatures.” Philip was interested in Loony’s explanation. He wanted to know why the book had such a powerful effect. “Everyone always calls me a lunatic. Indeed, I do go crazy from time to time, but I never lose my awareness. I know what I should do and what the consequences will be if the book falls into the wrong hands.” Loony looked at Philip earnestly, clearly asking for a favor. In his opinion, only Philip could save him. “That book is the first half, and its content is difficult to understand. Even I could only comprehend a little. I hope you can help me get it back. If you succeed, I’ll give you the second half. It’d be best if you can practice it.” To be honest, Philip was not in favor of this suggestion. Practicing such things might affect his path and bring h
“Is that person human?” the chief grasped the key point and asked the crucial question. Everyone nodded. They knew Philip’s identity and did not care that he was human. They saw him as a friend. “I entered Philip’s world by chance, and he helped me return. If it weren't for him, those things would probably have killed me by now. They're very strong, indeed.” Marina felt a lingering fear when she recalled past events. She knew how powerful those ugly creatures were. The fish creatures had become very strong for some reason as if they could overwhelm the merfolk at any time. “He opened the passage to this world, sent me back, and restored our people back to health. We would've died if not for his help. Philip is our friend, not foe,” Marina defended Philip. The chief was heartbroken to hear his daughter defend a man like this. His precious daughter had grown up or she would not have said such a thing. “Okay, in that case, I look forward to seeing this young man named Philip
“If you don't save me right now, I’ll die and leave you with nowhere to go!” Abele screamed in her mind. Very soon, Akash felt a strong force surging over him. The strong force broke his hold and burned his hand. “Such a strong burning force. What did you encounter to become so powerful?” Akash was taken aback, surprised that Abele was so lucky and became so powerful. He was very envious and thought of taking the ability from her. “You don't need to worry about it!” Abele clutched her neck in fear and ordered the elves behind her. “Leave. Don’t fight this person head-on. His technique is very strange!” Abele took the lead and ran away, clearly afraid of the other party. Akash did not give chase. He thought it was enough to drive them away. He was afraid that the matter would get out of hand and attract Philip's attention. He still wanted to remain undercover, disguised as Akash. He had no idea that Philip had been hiding in the dark and watching as everything unfolded, no
“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
