Everyone was dumbstruck. Who was Deaton Wade? He was the boss of the top bodyguard agency in Riverdale! At this moment, he was willing to act as a valet and open car doors. One could imagine how amazing the identity of the person sitting in the Cadillac was! Vivi Joo stepped out in her black high heels. She could be seen wearing a black dress. She got out of the car with a stern face and smiled at Deaton. “Third Young Miss.” Mack, Hardy, and Roy walked over and greeted her respectfully. Vivi nodded, looked at the private residence of the Hane family, and asked coldly, “Where is he?” Mack was a little nervous as he glanced at Klein. He said, “Still inside.” Vivi frowned slightly and glanced at Deaton. Deaton immediately called out to Klein, “Hey, Klein, come here.” Klein was already stunned. He was not a fool. He knew at first glance the identity of the woman who had just gotten out of the car! The third young miss of the Joo family! The Joo family was in the top f
Klein sneered inwardly, but on the surface, he made a lot of effort for his performance that was full of excitement. In fact, he was taking advantage of the situation to say this to Vivi. In other words, he was saying that he represented the Hane family while Vivi was not qualified to talk here. Of course, he dared not say this openly. “Shut up!” This time, Klein was being shouted at! However, it was not Mack, or Hardy, nor Vivi who shouted at him, but Deaton instead! Getting shouted at in public, Klein’s dignity suffered a blow as his expression collapsed immediately. He never expected that at such a time, Deaton would actually yell at him and make him lose face! No matter what, he was still the third master of the Hane family. Even if Deaton was powerful, he was just one person with an agency under his name. He did not have a family as his backing! After Deaton was done shouting, he looked at Klein and said in a low voice, “Stop your blathering and quickly bring
He never expected that Philip would know Old Master Joo! Baloo's heart had already sunk to the bottom of the sea. If not for his many years of social experience that he could still control himself, he might have run away with his tail tucked between his legs long ago! It was also at this time that Baloo heard the sounds of rushing footsteps! The footsteps were very rapid, both light and heavy. It seemed that many people were heading this way! Philip also heard the footsteps and the corners of his mouth curled up. Baloo shuddered at the sight. However, Baloo also knew the people outside. With Klein around, there should be no problem. It seemed likely that Klein was unable to withstand the pressure from Mack. Nonetheless, time was almost up. Baloo pondered his options. He had already asked all that should be asked. His only worry now was that Philip knew Old Master Joo, which would make things a bit difficult for him. In just a moment, however, Baloo had already made
The few of them had had verbal disagreements right from the start and none of them took it seriously before, but once a person made a physical move against the other party, then the nature of the conflict would change! When Hardy saw that the other party actually dared to talk back to Third Young Miss, he naturally disregarded his status and directly pressed the dignified Third Master Hane on the wall. If word spread out, the Hane family would completely lose face! As the president of the bodyguard agency in Riverdale, Deaton’s expression also became awkward at the moment! This turn of events was totally beyond his control. The other party was the third young miss of the Joo family, after all. He could not provoke nor dared to provoke her! Furthermore, Philip Clarke was also sitting across them! That was the big shot one had to be aware of! Philip acted like nothing had happened. He sat there quietly, shaking his propped leg with his arms folded across his chest as if he wa
Clarke family? Which Clarke family? Klein was dumbfounded. He frowned as clouds of suspicion flashed across his face. That Clarke family? No, impossible! He had made thorough investigations about this person. He was nothing but a good-for-nothing son-in-law! How could he be related to that Clarke family? No way! “Hehe, Philip Clarke, are you trying to bluff me? I’m Klein Hane!” Klein roared. Smack! As a result, Vivi slapped him across the face! Instantly, the crisp slap resounded throughout the room. Klein was stunned as he stared at Vivi blankly with eyes full of anger! “Unacceptable! How dare you hit me? Miss Joo, even if you’re the third young lady of the Joo family, this is my private property. You’re disregarding the entire Hane family by doing this. I can bring this up to Old Master Joo!” Klein looked furious. It was disgraceful to be slapped by a junior! “Hehe, you can try,” Vivi replied coldly, completely disregarding Klein. “I think there’s no
Looking at Philip's young and immature face, Baloo suddenly felt his heart twitching violently! This guy was no ordinary person. Their previous investigations were wrong! He had to be the young master of an affluent family in Capital City with an identity that countless people could not even imagine! Juan Parker had gotten him into deep sh*t! No wonder the boss kept emphasizing that he could not alert the enemy! Baloo felt a little dizzy. He thought he had a chance of winning, but the tables were suddenly turned against him! “Klein Hane, I hope you think this over carefully and don’t do anything you’ll regret!” Vivi’s eyes were cold while her tone was stern, making those who heard her tremble. “Miss Joo, this area is under the Hane family’s jurisdiction. Your aggressive actions are simply too unreasonable!” Klein frowned deeply. He hoped to avoid making an enemy out of the Joo family if he could help it. After that, he continued bitterly, “Regarding Philip’s matter,
“Wait there. I’ll go to Riverdale at once!” Shawn Hane, the head of the Hane family, said. Click! Then, the phone was disconnected! Klein was stunned for half a minute before reacting. What was the situation? Shawn was coming to Riverdale? This place was several hours away from Capital City. At the same time on the elevated highway leading to Riverdale, a Rolls-Royce drove along at high speed. Inside the car, Shawn’s face was full of horror as he sweated profusely while saying, “Take me to Klein’s private residence as fast as you can!” After saying this, Shawn’s heart started thumping rapidly. He was flabbergasted! As the head of the Hane family in Capital City, this panicked expression on his face was really rare and unusual. Even the driver was as quiet as a mouse at the moment. The atmosphere in the car was freezing. How could the third brother provoke him?! Damn it! Was the Hane family going to go through the crisis eight years ago again? Back at t
However! Bam! Shawn directly kicked Klein in the stomach and shouted fiercely, “Shut up!” At that moment, Klein fell to the ground and looked at his elder brother with eyes full of disbelief. Why did this happen? Shawn glared at Klein angrily. He was a martial arts practitioner and had held back the strength in that kick. Otherwise, his brother would be crippled already! “Patriarch Hane, is there anything you want to say?” Vivi turned to Shawn and asked coldly. “I’ll take responsibility for this matter. Let me remove the cuffs for Mr. Clarke.” Shawn looked grim. When his gaze fell on Philip, his entire body broke out in goosebumps! Sure enough, it was him—the harbinger of doom! “Shawn, what are you doing? He beat up Kenneth and Francis! Are you that afraid of the Joo family?” Klein did not understand and asked frantically. His eldest brother rushed all the way here just to admit defeat? “Shut up! What do you know? If I hadn't come to Riverdale in advance, you’d
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
