When Charles heard Martha’s words, his face darkened with a frown as he said, “What are you talking about? You hired someone to kidnap and kill! It’s a criminal offense and you can be jailed! Fortunately, nothing happened. If something really happened, the rest of your life would be over!” Charles could not believe that this sentence came out of Martha’s mouth. Was she crazy? “Bullsh*t!” Martha cursed hysterically, “I don’t care if that piece of trash dies. What does it have to do with me?” Charles was helpless while Martha was completely consumed by hatred. Martha stared at the ceiling, hissing and crying in pain. The continuous pain made her resentment for Philip grow deeper. Damn it. She would kill him sooner or later! Just as Martha was cursing Philip to the heavens and back, a few people suddenly appeared at the door of the ward. First, two bodyguards in suits entered the ward and looked around. Then, an old man sitting in a wheelchair was slowly pushed in. Imm
Martha trembled in fear. This was her first time meeting the in-law, and the scene was actually like this. He looked very old and sickly, but his eyes were full of vicissitudes and profound depths. Martha felt as if she was stripped naked in front of Roger, where even her thoughts could not be concealed at all. That feeling was mortifying! Moreover, at this moment, Roger’s aura was very intense. Although it was already being suppressed, Martha, who was lying on the hospital bed, was still overwhelmed by the kingly presence. She could not help swallowing a mouthful of spit, cold sweat running down her forehead! The entire ward was filled with killing intent! Charles dared not say anything as well. Seeing Roger at this time was even more terrifying than the time he saw his immediate boss back then! This was Philip’s father, his in-law! How terrifying! Although it was just a look, Charles’ knees went weak. The man’s next sentence made Martha panic. “I heard that
Roger coughed a couple more times before saying indifferently to Martha, “Remember what I said and don’t go too far. In my eyes, Philip breaking your arms is just a small lesson for you. If I were to make a move, you won’t even be alive now.” Martha quickly nodded and replied, “I know. I won’t do it again.” She could not help but give in. Compared to that wimpy Philip, this in-law was much stronger. Until now, she still could not accept Philip riding on top of her head. Furthermore, even his father was putting airs in front of her now. She was upset and dissatisfied. However, Martha could only endure it, grit her teeth, and swallow her grievances. Did she dare to talk back? No! She was afraid of death. Martha could tell that if Roger nodded, the people around him would kill her in an instant. Roger glanced at the uneasy Martha and said lightly, “I really hope you keep it in your mind instead of just saying it to me. If I ever find out that you’re up to no good, do
Martha was panicking now, shaking all over. If she was not afraid of these people before, including Roger, then she was truly scared now. These people could do anything! “You! Don’t come over! I'm his in-law! If you do this, aren’t you afraid that your employer will settle the score with you?” Martha shouted hysterically with panicked eyes. However, her arms were broken and suspended in mid-air in plaster casts. She could not run away even if she wanted to. “My master’s kindness has nothing to do with me. Anyone who’s disrespectful to the lord should be killed, even if you’re the in-laws!” The man wore the white gloves as his dark eyes flashed with killing intent! No one in this world could insult the master! Violators had to be killed! “Charles, stop him! He’s crazy! They’re a bunch of crazy people!” Martha shouted desperately. At this time, Martha could only rely on Charles. However, Charles’ knees had already gone weak. He wanted to go up and stop the man, b
In that instant, Philip felt as if he was struck by lightning. He froze on the spot and stared at Wynn in disbelief.The expression on his face changed constantly, revealing his suspicion. He said awkwardly, “What are you talking about? How could my dad be here?” Philip did not believe it. His father was in Riverdale? What was he doing here? Did something happen in Arcadia Island? Wynn already predicted that this would happen. She took out the token, handed it to Philip, and said, “Look at this. Father-in-law gave it to me.” Philip turned around. When his eyes fell on the token made of pure gold in Wynn's hand, he was stunned! The Dragon Seal! It turned out to be the Dragon Seal! Father was really here! Philip’s heart pounded. He took the token from Wynn's hand, looked at it in disbelief for a while, then turned to Wynn before asking, “You met my father?” Wynn nodded in assent. “What did you say?” Philip asked again. Wynn shook her head and said, “Nothing muc
At the gates of Cirrus Villa. When Roger's Rolls-Royce convoy appeared, the guards at the villa were a little confused. Who was this? Four Rolls-Royces. Such pompadour. However, there was no notification that Madam Wallis was expecting guests today. The convoy was stopped. The leader of the Wallis family's security team was dressed in black combat uniform, combat boots, and armed with a tactical headset. While holding a gun, he walked toward the first car. “Hello, this is a private manor. You’re not allowed to enter without the invitation of the owner. Please leave quickly.” The vice-captain was quite polite as he stated the facts. However, the two shadow guard members sitting in the first Rolls-Royce car slowly rolled down the window, and the driver glanced at the vice-captain standing next to the door with disdain before saying coldly, “Open the gates.” The vice-captain frowned. He had never met anyone who dared to barge into Cirrus Villa before! Even if the oth
All the Wallis family’s guards were stunned silly at those words and exchanged glances with each other in shock. How dare they order Madam Wallis to come out here? This person was too arrogant! What did he take this place for? “Who are you? It's a capital crime to break into the private residence of the Wallis family!” This time, a person with a bit of authority finally appeared. He was the captain of the Wallis family’s guards. “Ignorant fool!” Fulton raised his eyebrows and put his two fingers together. He shot a flying knife from his waist, almost in a split second! Swoosh! The air distorted! A flash of cold light exploded! Thud! The captain of the guards was about to continue speaking when a cold light flashed in front of him. Immediately following that, he covered his neck with both hands as blood gushed! A flying knife had directly penetrated his throat, the blade glinting under the sun! “Ahem… You… Ahem.” This happened too quickly! In the next s
After her words fell, Giada stepped out while leading her people and walked out of the hall. Miguel did not bother to get involved, so he pulled a maid into the room and started his wonderful life. Here, at the gates of Cirrus Villa, all eight shadow guards had gotten out of the cars. They were confronting the dozens of death warriors and guards of the Wallis family. In fact, the shadow guards could easily deal with all these people. Even if another platoon turned up, it would be a piece of cake for them. However, the master had given orders for them to keep a low profile. The eight people looked indifferent. Compared to the dozens of death warriors standing nervously on the opposite, they were simply strolling around leisurely. The atmosphere on both sides could not be more different. One side was flustered while the other was laid back. In the eyes of the shadow guards, these people were shrimps that were not worth mentioning. After a while, there was a commotion
Unfortunately, Philip was not affected by such things. He had always thought that such women were disgusting. Since everyone had a backer, he did not mind resorting to force. He would not back off if the woman decided to use some crooked tricks on him. “I don’t mind talking to you, but you need to put on some clothes first. If you can’t even dress properly, I have no reason to talk to you,” Philip said with an arrogant air of superiority. Hearing that, the woman could not help but burst out laughing. “You’re such a nice young man. I always thought you were a lecherous guy, but you’re so earnest. It seems that you can be a good business partner. I like you very much.” After saying this, a jacket appeared in the woman’s hands, and she draped it over her shoulders. Katie gritted her teeth at the woman’s actions. She was annoyed to see someone having ideas about Philip. Although Katie could be considered Philip’s apprentice, Katie had a secret crush on Philip. However, Katie
“I think everyone is underestimating humans. There are powerful formation masters among the humans. Although such things can restrain humans, how long can they last? Humans are constantly improving. They're simply looking down on humans!” Loony spoke with pride, clearly satisfied with the strength of humans. “Don’t blame me for bragging, but the humans were imprisoned for millions of years, and we've been making progress over the years. Other races would have faced a dead end if they were in our shoes. Not to mention escaping, most of them would have died of depression, so I can’t speak for them.” At this point, the pride of humans was fully reflected. Philip agreed with Loony. These people really underestimated the humans' abilities. “I don't know where they’ll go after escaping, but humans need social interaction, so I’m sure they won’t hole themselves up in a cave or something.” Philip frowned at this statement. In that case, many humans had probably entered the city. Th
The demons gave Moby a potion to make him stronger. Although Moby was ugly, it did not mean that he was stupid. On the contrary, he was more cautious than other races. He simply took a drop for an experiment without taking the entire thing. The creature that took the potion did become much stronger but ended up as an empty husk with a soul after one hour. The other party could control this body like a puppet if they had the relevant spell on hand. Moby was shocked by this discovery. It would have been the end of his life if he had taken the potion. He would have been seeking death by turning himself into a toy in the hands of the other party. Due to this reason, he decided to betray the demons. Black Rabbit was conflicted. The demons gave him the potion too. He simply kept the potion without using it because of his caution. He had thought of using it as a last resort, but he was so good at hiding things that he forgot where he kept it. In the end, he never used it. Blac
Everyone knew that the guy was just putting on a show. It was stupid to confront humans recklessly. Only a fool would mess with humans. Lyle and Aslan looked at each other. They knew the severity of the matter and could not wait to tell Philip about it. “Let's listen to what they have to say. We’ll tell Philip the whole story after figuring it out,” Lyle said calmly. They knew that they could not take this matter lightly. Although they did not know who sold their information, the other party was definitely up to no good, so they had to be careful. “Philip is the leader of a large organization. I heard that he’s here to turn the world of the gods upside down. He’s not from among the imprisoned humans but came from another world, which proves that he’s a force to be reckoned with. We may end up suffering if we confront him!” “Did the man named Philip release the humans?” “His goal is to destroy and take over the world of the gods!” Everyone was shocked by that declaration.
Moby quickly told Philip everything he knew. He knew that he had to tell Philip the truth to gain Philip’s approval. The fish creatures would get a lucky break once Philip approved of them and accepted them as their followers. Meanwhile, the demons knew Philip's strength through Akash’s escape. Not only were they not deterred, but they became more interested in Philip. They were curious to find out more about him. They even spread news about Philip in the city, but no one knew if they were doing it for revenge or to stir things up. While Philip learned more about the situation, Lyle and the others went out again. They simply could not sit still at home. Although the outside world was a mess, they could learn more about local sights and customs. Lyle and Aslan preferred to sit in a tavern and listen to gossip around them. At this time, the storyteller arrived excitedly, almost bursting with important news. “I heard something big today. Guess what?” Everyone looked at him e
Philip did not intend to kill Tom. On the contrary, he wanted Tom to live well so that he could suffer in pain all the time. Philip smacked Tom's body several times. Tom felt something was wrong the moment it happened. He looked distorted as if he was controlled by someone. His body was also twisting in weird angles. “I’ve destroyed your practice. You can never regain your power even if the demons help you. What do you think of this reward?” Philip sneered at Tom’s twisted posture. Philip severed all of Tom’s veins and imprisoned him in the swamp so that he could suffer the erosion of the swamp day and night. He wanted Tom to watch over Marina's remains forever. “I don’t have any grudge against the merfolk. I promised to help you back then, but you were stupid enough to believe the words of a treacherous villain to the point of killing your holy maiden. This is really sad and ridiculous.” The merfolk had suffered a tragic end, which was pitiful, so Philip did not want to dwel
“Chief, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and finish the ritual. Don’t let that guy get his way. We have to get back at him for his disrespect.” After saying this, Tom charged at Marina. He knew that he needed Marina’s blood to have a fresh start. At this time, Moray took out the merfolk's pearl. They hid the pearl very well and finally found it in the warehouse. Marina smiled in despair at the sight of the pearl. She obviously did not expect things to go so out of control. “Philip, I’m sorry to have wronged you earlier. It seems that you’re the only good person around. Everyone else has an ulterior motive and is always thinking about using me. In that case, I’ll do the last thing I can do to seek your forgiveness.” After saying this, Marina rushed to the pearl in Moray’s hand with sorrow in her eyes. Philip had a bad premonition and had a guess about what Marina was about to do. “Stop her!” Philip waved his hand, and everyone rushed over. Some people pinned Moray down
Although Tom had been tortured beyond recognition, he was still rational and yelled out his plan. Moray was hesitant. He knew what Tom was referring to. The merfolk had a powerful secret technique to create an immortal body by merging the blood of the holy maiden with a powerful warrior of the family. Tom was in such a bad condition that he would be dead if they did not save him now. However, once Marina and Tom’s blood were merged, it meant that they would have to be together and never be separated again. Marina shook her head in rejection. Not to mention the damage it would cause her, but she did not want to share the rest of her life with Tom. No one could live an eternal life with someone they did not love. However, Moray had gone crazy. He was bewitched by Tom and only had victory in his eyes. Although Tom was in a bad state, Moray believed that Tom could turn the tables with a little help. With that thought in mind, Moray grabbed Marina and pushed her to Tom reluctant
“Very well. I approve of this marriage. After you defeat Philip and return in victory, we’ll proceed with your wedding.” Hearing that, Tom sneered inwardly. He was an ambitious man. He was unwilling to let Moray control him. He planned to get the merfolk's treasure now. As long as he got the pearls from the merfolk and fish creatures, he could dominate the world with the treasures that could store energy, and everyone would have to bow down to him. He could force Marina to provide her blood and activate the pearl.When Marina was in despair, the mud that trapped Philip suddenly moved. Everyone was astounded by this scene. No one thought that Philip could survive. He was very strong, indeed. Before Tom could attack again, the swamp exploded. Tom was shocked. He had a bad feeling that everything would progress differently. Thinking of this, he kept attacking Philip with every means he had. However, it was futile. Philip easily broke through Tom’s defense and attacked him.
