Rachel Clarke! Wynn’s best friend who returned from abroad! How could she be here as a mysterious guest of Phoenix Pavilion?! Who could she be?! At this moment, Philip’s mind flew in different directions, and his emotions were extremely complicated. It seemed that he had overlooked something important. Melody was also taken aback by Philip’s sudden reaction. She glanced at the woman who was greeting everyone in the main hall and deliberately said with jealousy, “Philip, is she really that beautiful? Why are you so excited? Sit down quickly. Everyone is watching you.” Philip came back to his senses and saw everyone around casting strange glances at him. After sitting down again, Philip crossed his arms over his chest and stared at Rachel Clarke in the main hall. This woman was really the focus of the audience, sitting directly in the first row with the four Phoenix brothers, Ken Cooke, and Yana Young. However, it was obvious that Rachel's seat was in the middle—the spo
All this was overheard by Philip who was sitting not far away! Right now, his whole body was taut and his pupils were constricted! He was trembling slightly from the excitement! His mother’s belongings! It was actually his mother’s jade and gold phoenix! Philip took a deep breath and felt a slight sadness. He clearly remembered that he used to play with that jade and gold phoenix when he was young! Unexpectedly, more than ten years had passed and he had come across his mother’s belongings again today! What a surprise! Philip never imagined that he would be in Phoenix Pavilion and would soon see his mother's relics! At that moment, Philip's eyes sparkled coldly as he stared at the auction booth in the main venue. The auction was well underway by now. Melody, who sat beside Philip, naturally noticed the change in Philip’s aura. Before this, he was nonchalant and aloof, but at this time, she clearly felt his sharp intensity! It was like a cold sword soaring tow
“Dear guests from afar, as well as all the visitors, let us now invite the finale of the night, Cleopatra’s Jade and Gold Phoenix!” Following the shouts of the master of ceremonies in the booth, two pretty ladies dressed in gowns walked into the venue while holding a high-end brocade box It was here! The moment everyone had been waiting for! The people in the audience started breathing rapidly, countless eyes locked fixedly on the brocade box. Many prominent figures at the scene had already received advanced notification. Tonight, the jade and gold phoenix of Cleopatra had already been reserved for the mysterious guest and only that person could get it! Therefore, they were merely here for the excitement. After all, the four golden phoenixes of Phoenix Pavilion had said the word, so they could only abide. Wallace had made arrangements for some people in the crowd to act as bidders to drive up the auction price. In this case, even if others followed suit, no one could
The crowd suddenly became excited. “20 million!” Sure enough, Conrad, who was sitting on the chair calmly, ate the grape that the beauty stuffed into his mouth while the other sexy lady beside him started bidding! Conrad, still dangling his propped leg, seemed very relaxed and at ease. “Wow, this is the life of the rich. He’s raised the price to 20 million already!” “I’m so envious. The rich young master is so straightforward. He added five million just like that!” “Well, in their eyes, money is nothing but numbers. What about us? We work our *ss off but are still desperately struggling to survive. The gap is too big.” After hearing Conrad’s bid, many tourists in the outer hall started talking about it. They were envious and jealous, even expressing their hatred for the rich. Unfortunately, society had forced them to be like this. Of course, with the bidding in the main hall, the entire auction venue became lively. Naturally, the price was hiked up all the way.
Yes, it was Philip! With cold eyes, he sat on his seat and raised his right hand before shouting, “250 million!” He raised the price again! Everyone at the auction got a shock! Whether it was Melody next to him or the prominent figures in the main hall, they were all stunned! Everyone exchanged sideways glances. He was a very young man but was dressed quite shabbily. 250 million? What a joke! “Where did this idiot come from? How dare he make a random offer like that? Doesn’t he know that each bid is recorded in Phoenix Pavilion?” “Haha! He’s just a show-off! Just look at him! What a d*ck!” “How dare he make a bid against Second Young Master Kingsley. I’m afraid he doesn’t even understand the concept of 250 million!” In the outer hall, there were naturally a large group of people who did not know Philip. After all, the previous conflict with Al Gator had not spread around. Next to Philip, the few people who had witnessed the previous dispute with Al were all du
“Sir, please show me your admission ticket.” The two security guards stood beside Philip with serious expressions. The people around who did not know Philip gloated. Philip handed the admission ticket to the security guard indifferently. The two security guards took a few glances and carefully confirmed with the service staff in the front hall that the admission ticket was not a fake. Then, they looked at each other and said coldly, “Sir, I'm sorry, your admission ticket is fake. Please leave the venue now!” A fake? This was twisting the facts around! Philip frowned and looked at the two security guards beside him. He said with dissatisfaction, “Are you sure this is a fake?” Interesting. They were trying to kick him out. When the tourists around heard what the security guards said, a look of realization crossed their faces. They then started to mock and taunt. “Haha, this is going to be the death of me! A fake! What a d*ck!” “It’s over for him. Using a fake ti
“Miss Clarke, I need to handle some things. I’ll be back right away.” Wallace nodded and bent over respectfully to Rachel before getting up and walking to the outer hall. Those tourists who were watching the excitement in the outer hall were naturally nervous and excited when they saw the big boss of Phoenix Pavillion in person at this moment. They automatically stepped aside and created a pathway. “Look quickly! He’s Wallace Phoenix! He’s the big boss of Phoenix Pavilion and also the eldest brother of the four golden phoenixes!” “He’s here! The brat who called out the price randomly is doomed for sure!” “But of course. How dare he cause trouble in Phoenix Pavilion? He’s in trouble now.” The tourists looked at him gloatingly and could not wait for Wallace to kick Philip out. As Wallace approached, the two security guards and Emcee Wilson all nodded respectfully at him. “What's going on? Can’t you handle a small matter like this? Since it’s a fake admission ticket, just
Ken, Yana, and the rest looked sideways and understood after a few glances. Wallace, on the other hand, returned to his seat and said rather apologetically to Rachel, “Miss Clarke, I’m sorry, but they’re also VIP guests.” Rachel said coldly, “I get it, but make sure there won’t be any more incidents after this.” “Of course, please rest assured, Miss Clarke.” Wallace quickly nodded and promised. At the same time, he whispered in the ear of his second brother. Wallace’s younger brother, Jerome, got up and looked at Philip who was seated in the back row. He then hurried out of the main hall. Anyone who dared to challenge the authority of the Phoenix brothers would end up in a sorry state! Among these wealthy people, the second young master of the Kingsley family, Conrad, was the most excited and happiest. He sat in the first row and looked back at Philip who was sitting behind with his arms folded. His face appeared calm. The more he looked at him, the more interesting he
“No one ever comes to my place. You must be outsiders.” Celeste was curious, wondering who Philip was. Celeste knew about the four unique races, but Philip’s appearance and form did not fit any of them. “You’re right. I’m an outsider. I wanted to know something, so I came to the forest. It’s best if you can give me an answer. I don’t intend to harm anyone. If you can answer my questions, I’ll leave and remove the curse on you as well,” Philip persuaded her. He felt that the woman was quite sincere, different from what he imagined. In that case, there was no need to make things difficult for her. Besides, he did not feel a murderous vibe in her, so she had probably never done anything bad. Philip had no reason to make things difficult for someone who liked to hide and sing. “Go ahead. I’ll answer you if I know, but I don’t really know much. I usually stay in my own territory and have no contact with the outside world. Even the other races don't know of my existence.” Rabbit
Philip felt that there was no problem with his hearing. Someone was humming a song, and the tune sounded very strange and spooky in the dark forest. Rabbit frowned and nodded. He also heard the strange sound and was scared. “Who has nothing better to do but to sing here?” Rabbit nervously grabbed the corner of Philip's clothes, afraid that Philip would leave him behind. Philip shook his head. According to the others, no one would come here for no reason. Due to various dangers in the forest, they would only wander around the edge without seeking trouble in the depths. In that case, the abrupt singing voice was very strange, indeed. “Philip, don't be nervous. Stay calm.” Rabbit's voice was trembling. Although Rabbit kept telling Philip to stay calm, he was already freaking out, so scared that he nearly wanted to run away. Philip knew Rabbit’s character, so he did not comment. He simply observed the surroundings and listened carefully to the sound, which was so ethereal tha
Philip took Puffy along and quickly arrived in a forest where the other races usually hunted, so they should not face any danger here. As soon as Philip left, a woman appeared in the corner and looked in the direction where Philip left with a conflicted look on her face. “Should I follow him?” Ariadna had been left behind in the snake people’s village. She had no friends, and no one paid her any attention. Sometimes, they even displayed their ridicule and disdain for her. She did not get good treatment even though she was a junior from the outside world. In desperation, Ariadna decided to follow Philip. Unexpectedly, she saw Philip with a cute kid the next second. Ariadna was surprised to see that Philip had such a big and cute child. “Wait, that kid looks a little weird.” Due to the distance, Ariadna could not see what the kid looked like, but his color and body shape seemed different from that of normal people. After much deliberation, Ariadna decided to tag along, co
“I’ll look around and find out what’s going on. Don’t worry about me. Look for Ronan if anything crops up.” Philip decided to leave Ronan in charge. Ronan did not object. He knew that Philip wanted to train him. He rarely interacted with others, so he had poor social skills. He had improved with Philip’s help, but his skills were still nothing compared to Philip’s subordinates. He was deeply moved by the opportunity that Philip had given him. “Sure enough, heroes will emerge from the youth. You two will have a bright future!” Wren said excitedly. Philip did not comment. After a few pleasantries, he wandered around with Rabbit. Selma and her people had no time for Philip. They finally found their predecessors, so they had many questions to solve. Philip was most interested in getting to the bottom of this mysterious place. It felt more like a cage designed to trap them. It was devoid of rich energy and other resources suitable for them. What was the purpose of the person b
A woman like Arachne who pursued her own happiness was usually frowned upon. A person who was willing to sacrifice for the family would be recorded in history forever. Weaver patted Ariadna's shoulder expectantly, believing she could carry it out. After all, he did not know what had happened between them earlier. Everything was a big mistake. “I don’t think I can complete this difficult task,” Ariadna said nervously, afraid that Weaver would put too much hope on her. Ariadna knew that Rabbit had a grudge against her. Moreover, some of her actions had offended Philip, who might ignore her because of that. Thinking of this, she wanted to decline the task, but Weaver was very firm about his decision. “As the holy maiden of the family, this task is yours. No one else can do it but you.” Weaver put Ariadna on a high pedestal, so all the pressure fell on her. Weaver left with the others, leaving the poor holy maiden behind. Arachne looked at Ariadna resentfully. The opportunity
“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
