(Alternate Title: The Glorious LifeMain Characters: Philip Clarke, Wynn Johnston) “Oh no! If I don’t work harder, I’d have to return to the family house and inherit that monstrous family fortune.” As the heir to an elite wealthy family, Philip Clarke was troubled by this…
View MoreIf it was proven that the culprit behind this was the Lovelace family, Philip would never let them off. After sending Mila home, Philip felt a bad premonition. Based on Grisha's memories, Philip found a danger zone in Rhineville. He searched through Grisha’s huge memory bank and found the exact location. The slum? What a coincidence. The danger zone that Grisha knew was the slum! The slum was not highly populated, and those who lived there had no fixed dwelling. The environment and living standards were no match for other places. Philip hurried to the slum and found that it was shrouded in gloom. He did not notice anything strange when he was last here. He was surprised to find such a huge change in less than one day. Something must have appeared! Philip frowned and cautiously entered the slum. “There are reasons why this place became a slum.” Philip frowned and pondered, wondering how this place ended up like this. It was broad daylight, but the slum felt
After being rescued by Philip, the woman gratefully took out a business card. “Hello, I’m Officer Megan Herr. Thank you very much for saving me!” The box was translucent, so Megan could see what had happened outside the box. She had witnessed Grisha and Philip's interaction. This old man that she found so difficult to deal with was easily taken down by the other party. “You’re very strong.” Megan looked at Philip seriously. She was about to praise him when Philip turned around and walked away. Mila followed her father, skipping and jumping as they headed outside. She was still young and had no idea what had just happened, but she knew that her father had exposed the identity of a very bad guy! “What an interesting and amazing person,” Megan sighed. She took out her handcuffs, cuffed Grisha, and took him back to the office. “If we can get such an amazing guy to join our unit, it can surely increase our crime detection rate significantly!” Megan had always dreamed
“You’re the first person with such strong pressure to force me to use this trick! You should be proud of yourself! I’ll give you a chance. Become my slave and I’ll consider sparing your miserable life.” He had a wonderful idea. His identity had to be kept under wraps, but this guy was different. He could walk in the open on his behalf. “Your guess is right. I’ve been in close contact with those so-called evil things and have developed an indestructible body. My blood can have terrifying effects on so-called good people such as you!” That was why Philip's energy had a strong suppressive effect on him, but he had to take a gamble in order to survive. Philip felt a little disgusted at the thought of this guy’s foul blood. Philip was trapped in the mist and could not see his surroundings clearly. Grisha took this opportunity to hide himself, hoping to sneak up on Philip. Philip calmly took a step forward at the critical moment. He reached out into the mist and grabbed somet
Mila looked at the man in black cautiously and said, “Dad, this man said he’s the person in charge and wants to give me a lollipop.” Philip curiously glanced at this sneaky man with a hat. He saw the person in charge heading to the washroom when he came over just now. The difference between them was obvious. The real person in charge was a woman! “Who are you?” Philip asked gravely and grabbed the man’s collar. He stared at the other party carefully. Something smelled fishy for him to appear here so openly. Was he a human trafficker? Philip frowned seriously as his killing intent surged. If this man turned out to be a bad person such as a human trafficker, he would be doomed. “If you know what's good for you, let go of me,” the man in black said indifferently with a sinister glint in his eyes. “Tell me who you are.” Philip pulled off his robe to reveal an old face. There was almost no flesh on his face, and he looked very fragile as if he was seriously ill, but
Wynn had to hold an important meeting this morning. She left Mila in Philip’s good hands and drove her car to the company. Philip held Mila’s hand and walked on the street. Her school was about a ten-minute walk from their home. “Dad, will you watch my dance performance today?” Mila looked at Philip expectantly. She really hoped that her father could watch her dance. “I’ve been learning this dance for a while and always wanted to show you, but you’re always busy and away from home. I really hope you can stay and watch my dance performance!” After hearing his daughter's requests and complaints, Philip quickly agreed. Nothing was more important than Mila! The man in black walked on the street aimlessly and came across an elementary school after half an hour. He became excited at the sight of this bustling elementary school. Where could he find lots of children? A school, of course! Although dangerous, riches came with risks. When he thought that he could summon th
The man in black was very nervous. He took off his black robe and appeared on the streets like a normal person. His time was running out. He must find suitable prey immediately. It was midnight, and Philip fell into a deep sleep when he got home. Wynn and Mila got up early the next day. Mila was going to dance at school today, so she got up early in the morning, put on light makeup, and wore a beautiful princess dress. Philip kept praising Mila's cuteness. He did not know how to comb her hair, and Mila got a little angry at his failed attempts. “Dad, you made me look so ugly. I want to be beautiful! It’s a shame that I haven’t seen my deskmate Fatty for almost a week. I saw Fatty’s mother crying the other day!” Philip was a little puzzled. He squatted in front of Mila and asked softly, “Mila, did something happen to your classmate? Or did he transfer to another school?” Philip was very concerned about Mila's deskmate. “I always play with him, but he hasn’t come to sch
The man in black used a knife to mark a cross on the boy’s body. Blood flowed and stained the floor red. The boy woke up drowsily and screamed in shock at the sight of his gushing blood. “Please let me go, I’m begging you. I’m really an old man in my 40s. Check my bone age if you don’t believe me!” The boy wailed, hoping that the other party would let him go, but his words had no effect. No one heard him! “Haha, stop your desperate struggles and just accept your fate.” The man in black laughed brightly. He knew he would achieve his goal very soon, and the boy would offer up his life. Suddenly, all the candles went out. Some of the runes he carefully carved shattered, and even the classroom table cracked. “What's going on? Why is this happening?!” The man in black roared with anger. His sacrificial ritual was ruined! He looked around warily for the culprit but could not find anyone within a radius of ten miles. He finally focused on the boy. “What’s wrong with yo
“I finally achieved this month’s target. This little boy is pretty good.” His voice sounded hoarse and unpleasant, and the boy trembled upon hearing it. Although he was tough and sensible, he was an eight-year-old child, after all. How could he remain calm in this incident? The man in black took off his robe, revealing an extremely ugly face. He looked like he was 80 years old, and his face was a little out of shape. The little boy struggled in fear. Although he could not see anything in detail, he could see the other party’s outline with the help of the candlelight. The man in black looked like a terrifying skeleton! Soon, the man in black took off the child’s gag. “Mister, please let me go. I didn't see anything. I don't know anything!” The boy sobbed and begged the other party to let him go. He screamed in misery, wondering why he was so unlucky to encounter this. “Only cute and lively little boys and girls can become sacrificial objects. You should feel honored,
Philip frowned in annoyance. He had no intention of having dinner with other women. “Sorry, I never have dinner with women who have ideas about me,” Philip said bluntly and left, unwilling to stay in this karaoke joint any longer. He did not like the atmosphere in the karaoke joint and hated the loud music the most. Sandra pestered Philip for his phone number, but Philip simply ignored her. Although Sandra had the intention to help Philip, her help was of no use at all. In fact, everyone knew that Sandra was after something else. Thus, saying thank you to her was the most Philip could do. Philip held this bank card while feeling a little wistful. He was not short of money at all. This amount of money would not have any impact on Wynn. As the female CEO of a huge company, Wynn's business acumen was beyond doubt. She had not spent extravagantly over the years simply to keep a low profile. Philip finally decided to give the money to Jenny. Fenrir helped him a lot b
