Salem smiled and said, “All of you have been used by Philip. To be precise, we’re Philip’s pawns. After all the trouble yesterday, everyone's eyes are now on the branch family and Philip. If anything happens to Philip from now on, everyone will suspect the branch family. When the time comes, even if we didn’t do it, it’ll become our doing. So, do you still want to make a move against Philip?” “This…” Instantly, everyone was speechless! When they thought about it carefully, it was true! “Damn it! That brat is actually using us as pawns and shields!” Desmond was not a fool and instantly figured it out. Not only could the branch family not make a move against Philip, but they even had to try to protect him now! That was because now everyone knew that the conflict between the branch family and Philip had escalated to the point that it could not be resolved! If an interested party used this to attack Philip and anything happened to him, everyone’s eyes would be focused on th
Levi and Lex had never gotten along. They had little interaction with each other. Today, Lex actually came to see Levi, which caused a sense of foreboding to well in his heart. While thinking, he said to the butler, “Send him in.” Soon, Lex walked into the hall and saw Levi sitting on the sofa in the living room. At this moment, Levi's cheeks were still flushed and his body reeked of alcohol. When Lex entered, he first bowed and said, “Hello, Levi.” Levi glanced at Lex indifferently and said with a smirk, “Oh, my second brother is here. I wonder why you’re looking for me. This is the first time you’ve visited my humble abode in recent years. I always thought my place was too shabby for your liking.” A dagger was hidden in his smile. Levi’s words were to give Lex a tongue-lashing. Lex smiled and said, “Levi, you must be joking. It’s just your mighty reputation that prevented me from visiting.” “Hehe, since you’re here today, are you saying that my reputation isn’t as
After that, Lex turned around, returned to Levi’s side, and said, “Levi, this matter is actually very simple. Since Philip is already on bad terms with the branch family, we can do this…” After half an hour of conversation, Lex bowed and left Levi’s residence. At this moment, Levi stood in front of the gate with his hands behind his back and looked at Lex’s departing back. The smile on his lips gradually solidified, replaced by coldness! “Men, monitor Lex’s every move. No matter what he does and whoever he meets, even what he eats, I want a detailed report on everything!” Suddenly, Levi said solemnly. “Yes, Young Master Levi.” Behind him, a guard replied. … Back to Lex’s villa. In the living room of the villa, a burly man sat on the floor with his eyes fixed on the TV as he played video games. The woman with a sultry figure sat on the side, fiddling with her phone. She was live-streaming on a live broadcast platform. After he returned, Lex stood in the living room and
In the residence living room, Philip sat on the sofa and looked at Lex who was sitting on the side. He smiled and asked, “Why did you come to see me?” Lex took a sip of the tea made by the servant and placed the teacup on the table. With a smile, he said, “I’m here to admire the mighty air of the young master of the main family.” Philip chuckled with a subtle glint in his eyes and said, “Hurry up and state your business. I have to accompany my wife out later.” Lex nodded and said directly, “I want to cooperate with you.” “Cooperate?” Philip chuckled and asked, “Have you mentioned this to Levi?” Hearing this, Lex raised his brows slightly, nodded, and said with a smile, “I have, and he has agreed to it.” “In that case, by coming here to talk to me, are you going to be the middleman who puts on a show just so you can sit back and watch the two of us fight while waiting to reap the benefits?” Philip asked smilingly as the look on his face gradually darkened. Lex nodded,
In the afternoon, Philip took Wynn away from Clarke Manor. As Wynn had just arrived on Arcadia Island and was unfamiliar with many places, Philip planned to bring her out and go shopping. Secondly, Philip wanted to see how Arcadia Island had changed over the years and to see how far the branch family’s hands had reached. At the first stop, Philip brought Wynn to one of the main family’s business properties on Arcadia Island. George Thomas was the butler responsible for several of the main family's properties on Arcadia Island. “Young Master, you’re here.” George smiled flatteringly and said to Wynn, “Young Madam, you look much better now.” Wynn smiled and said to George, “Mr. Thomas, I still can't believe that you’re the Clarke family’s butler.” George smiled and said, “Young Madam, there are still many things you won’t believe in the future, so learn to accept them as soon as possible.” Wynn took a deep breath and looked at Philip who was grinning broadly beside her.
George stroked his beard and said, “Yes, this is the card.” Then, George said earnestly, “Young Madam, is there a golden island symbol on the bottom left corner of this card?” Wynn took a look and really saw it. In the past, Philip gave her this card and told her that there was some money in it that she could use on a rainy day. At this moment, Wynn looked at Philip and pursed her lips. Philip put his hands in his trouser pockets and smiled faintly. If he remembered correctly, this card was issued at the bank in Riverdale last time. There should be one billion in it. Back then, when Martha went to check the balance, she was almost scared to death by 100 million! When Philip opened an account for Wynn, he deposited one billion. George knew about this. After all, Philip’s property distribution must be done through the Clarke family’s vault. Thus, George contacted the bank president at that time. The card issued to Wynn was also the Clarke family’s exclusive card! Howeve
“What made you so flustered? Tell me.” The manager was in full leadership mode and spoke while drinking tea. “Manager, look!” While saying so, Mary handed Wynn’s card to the manager. “A woman outside said she wants to withdraw all the money in here!” Pfft! As soon as the manager saw the golden island on the card, he spewed a mouthful of tea on the wall. Was this not the Clarke family’s exclusive Gold Island Card? The Clarke family’s Gold Island Cards were issued by the head office of more than 200 bank alliances. As they were only used by members of the Clarke family, the number of issuances was very small. This card was only recognized by bank executives and the like. However, this was Arcadia Island. All bank staff could recognize this card! The manager was stupefied. He held the bank card up, flipped it back and forth, and kept mumbling, “Yes, that’s right. This is the Clarke family’s Gold Island Card!” Mary said, “Right? Manager, if you say this is the Clarke
Arrest her? Hearing that, Wynn was dumbfounded. What did she do wrong? Why would she be arrested over a cash withdrawal? “W-What are you doing? What did I do wrong?” Wynn asked in a panic, her face full of confusion. One of the security guards wearing a bomb suit stood in front with a shield. He pointed at Wynn fiercely and said, “Don't talk nonsense and give up resistance. We’re following the instructions of our superiors. Please cooperate with our investigation. Otherwise, we’ll have to take coercive measures!” Another security officer said, “Put your hands up and walk slowly toward us! Hurry!” Wynn did not know what was happening, and she was very nervous. She raised her hands slightly and approached the security personnel. She thought that since it was the bank’s security personnel, they should not be bad people. Hence, there should be no problem in cooperating with the operation. If there was any misunderstanding, she would just cooperate with them and clear things
“It’ll take a long time for this little fox to become a human. I think you would've found your other half before that happened.” After exchanging some pleasantries, Philip bade farewell to the shopkeeper and left without further ado. They had to hurry up to find the person Adam was looking for.… Meanwhile, Luther hurried back home unhappily. He never dreamed that he would suffer such humiliation one day. As soon as he returned home, a man greeted him. It was none other than his father, who doted on his son. “What's wrong?” He was surprised to see his son ignoring him. His son was always flashy and arrogant, so his behavior was quite unusual. Luther was in no mood to pay attention to his father. He returned to the room angrily without saying a word. “Guard, what’s going on? Did someone bully my son?” Luther's father, Klein, glared at the guard unhappily, blaming the guard for everything. The guard kneeled in fear and felt sorry for himself. “The young sir was brows
The shopkeeper was clearly relieved by Philip’s remark and direct approach. However, he was also embarrassed by Philip’s bluntness. He smiled at Philip awkwardly as an apology. “Why don’t you recommend a pet for my buddy? It should be a stronger one, preferably a combat type!” Philip glanced at Carlos. He knew that Carlos was too embarrassed to take the initiative. Carlos looked at Philip gratefully, letting out a shy chuckle. The shopkeeper recommended several pets to them. Carlos was dazzled by the sight and wanted them all. Adam looked at the scene with satisfaction. Although he had a high position, he did not have a decent pet either. It was difficult to have a pet in their world. With a wave of his hand, Philip generously bought a pet for each of them. At this time, Philip heard a whine from somewhere. He turned his head curiously and looked for the source of the sound. “What’s that noise?” Philip looked at the shopkeeper in confusion, unable to find the source of
Luther was at a loss for how to react. If the rabbit could speak, it had to be stronger than his pet. Although his pet was very powerful, it was just an ordinary creature that could understand some basic instructions and handle normal interactions. A talking pet was simply to die for. “Wow, how can that monster pet speak? It’s a force to be reckoned with.” Luther was shocked to see a talking pet. It was enviable to have such a powerful monster. Before this, he mocked the rabbit for not having any ability, but the tide had turned. He was almost going crazy with jealousy and wished that he could take the rabbit for himself. “I didn't bring my pet along, so I’m afraid I can’t show it to you. Losers like you don’t deserve to see my pet.” Luther acted full of snobbery and disdain, but he clutched his purse awkwardly. In fact, not only did he bring his pet out, but he had also been ready to show it off at any time. After all, his pet was very powerful and could grow bigger or sma
Philip was annoyed by the guy’s ridicule and simply wanted to keep a distance from him. “I don’t care who you are. I don’t want to pay attention to a loser.” After saying this, Philip could not wait to leave this disgusting place. He felt sick at the sight of the guy’s ugly face. Carlos lost the mood to watch the fun. He shook his head helplessly and turned around to leave. However, that guy was used to getting his way. He did not plan to let them leave in one piece. Anyone who offended him had to die. “Surround him. Don’t let him run away!” The man glared at Philip with disdain, sure that Philip would die. Philip was quickly surrounded by a large group of people. They were angry that Philip dared to go against their boss. “Who are you? Where did you come from? How dare you disobey our boss? Didn't he tell you to stop?” a guard yelled angrily. He was clearly a competent lackey, loudly accusing Philip as if he was going to stand up for his boss. “What are you looking at?
The street was very crowded with not only various pet monsters for sale but also a myriad of pills and techniques, which looked impressive. Philip was happy to see this. This place was clearly better than any other place he had visited before. It was very different from the other places he knew. “This is the place I’ve always wanted to visit.” Philip could not contain his excitement and wanted to bring all his friends and family over. “After finding your crush, I’ll bring all my people over and show them this place.” Rabbit was surprised to hear Philip’s high evaluation of this place. He simply felt that something was unusual about this place, but it was nothing too special. “Don’t miss this great bargain. Our pets are the best. You look unfamiliar. Is this your first time here? I can tell you some things and satisfy your curiosity. I’m sure my goods are nothing you've seen before.” Seeing that Philip and the others did not own a pet monster, the seller kept promoting his g
“You must be referring to the lark people. What do you want with them? They're not to be trifled with. You’ll be in trouble if you mess with them.” Everyone was delighted to hear about the lark people. It was great that someone knew something. Adam was very excited to find a clue as soon as they arrived. He had thought it would take a lot of effort to find something, but reality proved otherwise. “The lark people can be regarded as the overlords here. You can find out about them easily. I'm just an ordinary old woman, so I can't tell you too much. You should approach other people if you want to find out more. Maybe you can find a storyteller. I’m sure they can tell you some very important information.” The old lady was clearly unwilling to disclose anything, so everyone was disappointed. In that case, they could not force her. “Thank you very much. At least you gave us an inkling about what to do. We wouldn’t know so many things if it weren't for you.” Adam thanked the old
“I heard that her family is quite complicated. They seem quite troublesome.” Hearing that, everyone wondered what Adam meant. It seemed that he would face problems in pursuing a relationship with this woman. Carlos looked at Adam awkwardly and sighed. “It doesn't matter. We don’t have to worry about that. Let's just take things one step at a time.” Rabbit calmly drifted around with Philip, feeling quite good. “What's there to worry about? I say the old monk has nothing better to do than worry about trivial matters. It’d be embarrassing if so many of us couldn’t bring a woman back.” Until now, Rabbit felt that the other party was just an ordinary woman, so he did not think that there was anything to worry about. They quickly joined the line to enter the city. To Philip's surprise, there was no entrance fee at all. Moreover, their appearance and attire looked no different from the others. Philip and his friends calmly entered the place, and Philip stood on guard. He had a
Philip felt helpless at the sight of this vast starry sky and suddenly felt that maybe coming here was not the right choice. They arrived without knowing anything about this place, so they might encounter various dangers. “I’m curious about the woman you've been looking for. She must be quite extraordinary,” Philip said curiously, baffled about this matter. Hearing that, Adam shook his head helplessly. He was really clueless about everything. “I only know that I can come here and find her with the key. I don’t even know where she is. We can only search aimlessly in this starry sky.” Philip was dumbfounded by Adam’s incompetence. “I thought we’d be teleported to her home or a fixed location, so I don’t know what’s the deal with this. I have a feeling that I’ve been tricked.” Adam sighed helplessly. “Let's just wander around. I’m sure we can find something somehow,” Carlos comforted Adam, but he was not optimistic about it either. He knew that they probably could not find the
Adam had to reevaluate Philip’s strength. He used to think that Philip was simply the best of his generation. Although powerful, he was not invincible. However, the ability to change certain orders and rules was not something that just anyone had. It would not be far-fetched to call Philip the chosen one favored by the heavens. Philip told Carlos to bury Bryce before forgetting about him. Carlos quickly handled his affairs, packed his bags, and got ready to set off with Philip. Adam also waited for Philip without much luggage on hand. Philip stuffed Rabbit into the Verge Tower space. He had to bring Rabbit along with him or the latter would be up to no good. “Rabbit, stay in Verge Tower and stop bothering me.” Rabbit was upset to hear that he had to stay in Verge Tower but still felt happy that Philip was willing to take him along. “Next, the two of you need to relax. I’ll wrap you with my energy. Don't try to resist or you’ll only end up hurting yourself,” Philip said.
