Upon hearing this, Martha smiled contentedly. ‘Wynnie, don’t blame me. I don’t want this to happen either.’ In the evening, Martha cooked many dishes. Philip came home and found this scene strange, but he did not say anything. During dinner, Martha kept piling food on Wynn’s plate, which made Wynn a little flattered. “Mom, is there anything wrong?” Wynn put down her fork and asked. Philip also raised his eyebrows and glanced at her. Martha was startled, but she immediately smiled and said, “How could anything be wrong? You’re pregnant, so I want to make sure you have enough to eat.” Wynn nodded and said nothing. The next day, Philip left early in the morning. Martha hid in the bedroom and made sure that Philip had left before taking Wynn to the mall. According to the plan, she took Wynn to the mall and walked around before bringing her into a back alley. She then took the opportunity to go to the toilet. Martha ran aside, dialed Pockmarks’ number, and whispered, “
Wynn had been abducted! Damn it! A sneer sounded from the phone. “If you want your wife and the child in her stomach to survive, bring two million to the farmhouse. By the way, bring your jade thumb ring along. I’ll give you half an hour! Remember, don't call the police! Otherwise, you’ll see your wife with her stomach cut open and two lives will be lost!” Beep, beep, beep… The line was disconnected again. The last sentence was full of threats. Without hesitation, Philip immediately turned around and ran out of the villa, and at the same time, he dialed Theo’s number. “Bring people to the farmhouse. Wynn has been abducted!” The other party’s demand for money was a fluke. Their target was the Sovereignty Seal! In this world, few people knew about it. Was it Giada’s people? Martha breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Philip rushing out. Then, she quickly dialed Pockmarks’ phone and asked, “Is my daughter alright?” “She’s fine, don’t worry. You’re the employer. Of
Just when Martha was secretly watching the movement outside, Philip had already made his move against several thugs. “Brat, you’re very arrogant. You still dare to act this way in the territory of the Northern Six Wolves? You must be tired of living!” Pockmarks stood up and pointed at Philip’s nose loftily. In the eyes of desperadoes like them, Philip was alone and looked very delicate. To handle a guy like this, they did not even have to use their full strength to obliterate him! This job was simply too easy. With a cold face, Philip scanned the six people in the yard. They exuded a brutal and reckless aura. At first glance, they did not look like ordinary people. It was likely they were wanted criminals! “Northern Six Wolves? Sorry, I’ve never heard of you. But today, you’ve pissed me off!” Philip’s voice was very cold, and when he said those words, there was a fearsome meaning behind it. Would Giada have found these people to deal with him? Probably not. This
Martha was flustered and scared. If they could subdue Philip, then naturally she would not be afraid. However, if they failed and if he found out who instigated them, then would there be a way for her to survive? No! Therefore, Martha was very nervous and looked forward to those people hacking Philip to death! Only in that way could she survive safely. ‘Philip, don’t blame me. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being too arrogant. Why do you put on airs in front of me? The Johnston family doesn’t have a son-in-law like you!’ Martha thought bitterly. However, in the time she was distracted, she clearly saw some people sprawled on the ground outside! Philip was standing in the yard unscathed! This... How could this be possible?! Was this guy so skillful? In the yard, the six wolves of the north fell on the ground. Everyone had bruises on their faces, and some even had their arms or legs severely broken by Philip! There was no need to show any mercy to
This roar shook the entire yard! Martha was hiding in the room at the moment, shaking with fright! She was doomed! Did she dare to go out? Of course not! Even if she did not end up dying, she would be no better! Besides, she had made use of Wynn this time. In the eyes of that trash Philip, Wynn was his limit. Even if she was his mother-in-law and Wynn's biological mother, Philip would not hesitate to strike out at her. Thinking of this, Martha dared not go out. However, in the yard, Philip continued to roar. “Martha Yates, I’ll count to three. Get the f*ck out here right now!” “One!” Philip said. Martha circled around anxiously and glanced at Philip furtively. He was still stepping on the burly man in the yard. Recalling the events just now, Martha was scared. “Two!” Philip continued counting as he glared at the closed wooden door. This was the last chance for Martha. If she still refused to come out, he could not be blamed for being unfeeling. “Three!
Martha glared at the brawny man. As Philip reached out for the phone, the frightened Martha mustered the strength from nowhere. She got up and rushed over to grab the phone. However, Philip just kicked her and knocked her to the ground once again. Then, in the entire yard, the recording of Martha's initial contact with the man sounded. Each one of her words was chilling to the bone. Philip was already shaking with anger while holding the phone in his hand. With red eyes, he stared at Martha who was already at a loss on the ground. He said angrily, “I’ve already warned you a long time ago that if you dare to lay a finger on Wynn and Mila, I’ll never let you off! Today, you’ve completely crossed my bottom line!” When Martha heard this, she knew Philip was really angry.She knelt and climbed over to Philip in fear, hugging his leg while begging for mercy. “Philip, I was wrong. I’m your mother-in-law, after all. I was really wrong. I won’t dare to do it anymore. Please let me go.
Miguel Wallis?! The most beloved youngest member of the Wallis family and also Giada’s nephew. However, he was an arrogant, domineering, and insolent boy. In the past, Philip had taught him a lesson or two. As such, the two bore grudges. Why did he suddenly appear in Riverdale at this time? Philip frowned. He was just about to turn around and go out when a figure barged in. It was accompanied by a burst of very disgusting laughter. “Haha, Philip Clarke, it’s been a long time since I saw you. Are you surprised to see me?” Miguel Wallis wore a well-fitting white suit that looked expensive. A luxury watch worth millions adorned the wrist of this man who had a handsome appearance and a well-proportioned figure. This was the appearance of a celebrity on TV. He was followed by four bodyguards in black suits with serious expressions, all of them death warriors of the Wallis family. Miguel carried with him an air of frivolous nobility. Everything on his body added up to
At the door, Miguel got into the red Aston Martin sports car, beckoned to the man standing by the door, and said, “Go, get some people and make trouble for Beacon.” The subordinate bent down respectfully and said, “Yes, Young Master.” Miguel glanced at the hospital entrance and sneered conspiratorially. Philip Clarke… He had failed to beat this man in the past. Now that Philip had left the Clarke family, would he still lose out? What was so great about the Clarke family on Arcadia Island? Here, in the ward, the atmosphere was a little awkward. Wynn sat on the hospital bed, looking at Philip who was across from her. She asked after a long while, “What did he mean just now? Philip, are you hiding something from me?” Wynn frowned. She was not stupid. She had gone through many things recently and everything seemed to be related to Philip’s identity. From the good-for-nothing son-in-law of the Johnston family, Philip gradually became different. He was richer and more power
“You never considered the consequences when you tried to take advantage of us. We brought them here, and they have the right to choose. Don't think about taking advantage.” Philip nodded at Fitz’s attitude. Sure enough, he liked this earnest man and was happy with his point of view. “If you want something, you need to pay a price for it. As I mentioned, I’m a businessman, so I prefer fair trade. I’m more than happy if you want to discuss a deal with me.” In fact, they had reached an agreement before the spider people arrived. Philip would not help the other three races for free, but he was not bad enough to charge them fees either. However, the spider people were different. Not to mention that Philip had a bad impression of them, but Rabbit’s grudge also remained unavenged. The spider people scowled at Philip’s disrespect, which was simply outrageous. The other races laughed gloatingly. The spider people had always been arrogant and domineering, preventing their developme
“I'm afraid that the snake people will strike a deal with him and monopolize everything.” The old man anxiously led everyone in the direction of the snake people. They could not miss the chance to share a piece of the pie. However, he did not intend to tell his people about it. The other two races no longer existed in the outside world, so it did not matter if they could not leave. It would be best to let their legends fade away in history. That idea was very selfish. Just when he thought he could grab all the benefits by stealth, the snake people shared the information without keeping it a secret. However, the snake people only shared the news with the other two races. They did not have a good impression of the spider people and even had the idea of leaving them behind. When the spider people hurried over, they found a crowd. They saw not only the young ones of the snake people but also those from the other two races. The other two races were the turtles and magpies. Just li
The old man felt annoyed when he saw the two women not getting along. He knew that the holy maidens of the family would face a lot of struggles. Ambitious women would try every means to cause trouble just to destroy the status of the holy maidens. By doing so, they could find ways to replace them. It was an underhanded method but effective. After all, not everyone could cope with the distinguished status of the holy maiden. One mistake could be fatal. Therefore, a holy maiden had to be prideful and flawless, just like an untainted and pure white lotus. The old man nodded thoughtfully. He did not think that Arachne looked like the holy maiden, and his suspicions were confirmed. She was not the holy maiden at all. Actions spoke louder than words. Arachne did not carry a regal bearing, so she would not act like a queen even if she wore a crown. At first, the old man wondered why the spider family would choose someone so unbefitting for the role of the holy maiden. Now that
At this point, an old man walked over. Although they usually maintained their true form, they sometimes took on a human form. Unlike the snake people who did not look very different between the two forms, the spider people looked outrageous in their true forms. “Are you one of the younger generation from outside?” The old man was curious to see the younger children's arrival at this place today. As someone who could not wait to make an impression, Arachne rushed forward and began to introduce herself. In short, Arachne was gradually taking over Ariadna’s position. Although the others were annoyed, they did not say anything because Arachne was really putting in some effort. There was no point in arguing about such things. The most important thing was to remove their curse. The old man was very excited and could not wait to welcome them. “This is wonderful. It has been thousands of years since we saw an outsider!” His eyes gleamed with excitement. “Tell me how you got in,” he
“Now that the spider people have found new blood, I’m afraid that things will worsen.” At this point, Fitz sighed helplessly. Rabbit jumped out at this time. He hated the spider people. Hearing their shameless behavior, Rabbit was agitated. “Sure enough, those spiders are up to no good. Philip, why don’t we just get rid of them? Take it as revenge for me!” Rabbit waved his paw and looked at Philip excitedly. He knew that only Philip could help him. The spiders might not be strong, but they had strength in numbers. They were not people to be trifled with. While Philip and the others were chatting, Ariadna and her people found the spider people. Arachne was very excited and smug, waiting to take all the credit. “As I said, we can find something we've been looking for if we enter this place! Sure enough, following Philip can help us overcome all difficulties and find our ancestral land and predecessors. So what if they're trapped here? They must have many more treasures and secr
They could also see some toddlers, which proved that the predecessors were living quite a good life. “We thought you had ascended to another place. Is this the place you ended up? It doesn’t look like the paradise described in the books!” Selma blinked innocently, wondering why this place looked like this. This place was not rich in energy, and there was nothing special about it, so it was not attractive at all. “We didn’t ascend but have been trapped in this place over the years with no way to leave.” Fitz did not want to deceive them and simply told them the facts. Now that they had entered, the newcomers had no way of leaving either. “Didn’t you notice? The passage that led you in has been sealed. There’s no way to leave now.” Selma turned her head curiously and looked at the exit. Philip followed suit and found that it was indeed the case. The exit was blocked by a huge stone. No one knew when the stone appeared. It felt like it appeared out of thin air. Philip's ex
When Philip’s eyes adjusted to the light, he saw a gurgling stream in front of him. There was a small village beside the stream and many more villages along the stream. Philip counted four in total. The villagers who lived along the stream observed Philip as he looked at them. “Outsiders?” A man standing in the front stared at Philip in surprised disbelief. Philip noticed that he had a snake tail. Hearing the man's words, everyone ran out. Without exception, they all had a snake tail. It was clear that they belonged to the same race as Selma. Selma covered her mouth in shock at this scene. It was true. Their predecessors were staying there. The man mellowed down after seeing Selma. He felt a familiar vibe on her. It seemed that they shared the same bloodline. Philip nudged Selma, who quickly understood his meaning and showed her true form. Cavin followed her cue. Seeing this scene, the man laughed and applauded. The spider people arrived at this time. They were surpri
Philip finally realized that Ariadna was not wealthy enough to do business with him. “This emerald pendant is very valuable! Don’t look down on it just because you’re strong!” Ariadna grumbled under her breath but had no choice but to accept it. After all, Philip had the final say about its value. Maybe her treasure was worthless to Philip because he was too strong for it. After taking the emerald pendant, Philip told Ariadna what he knew per their agreement, which was the secret about people living in the ancestral land. As expected, Ariadna was shocked by the news too. “Are you serious? This is too far-fetched. Are you saying that our predecessors have been trapped here and haven't left for another place?” Her outburst gave Philip a different idea. When he spoke to Selma earlier, he subconsciously believed that these so-called predecessors had ascended. It was strange that they reached a very odd place of ascension. After hearing Ariadna’s remark, however, it seemed mor
No one knew if their predecessors would treat them as their own. Although they had the same bloodline, they had not seen each other for such a long time. Besides, they sneaked into the ancestral land without permission. Maybe they would be killed before they stepped inside. Philip’s information was very useful, indeed. Selma quickly returned to her family members in a panic and discussed with them. With only a few of them, the discussion was very brief before they reached a decision. Cavin grimaced at this unexpected development, and he was more in awe of Philip. He was shocked by Philip’s strength. If Philip could sense that, his observation skill was nothing in front of Philip! Cavin felt helpless about it. It felt a little embarrassing to have shown off his skill in front of Philip now. “Selma, what should we do now? We have to consider the stalkers behind us. They won’t give up that easily. We may be in trouble if we don't find a way to get rid of them.” Cavin glanced at th
