For instance, the tea set he took down from upstairs was previously given to him by Anna Carter. He had completely forgotten about it and just left it at home.How much was it? It was a handcrafted clay tea set worth 800,000. It could be considered an expensive gift. Seeing Philip returning with a gift box, Martha held back and said nothing. Amelia’s family was also there and they had only brought simple gifts with them. Those gifts were actually swiped from the villa and were things that Philip bought for Wynn, such as honey and royal jelly. She was really thick-skinned as she kept a few boxes for herself too. Once Wynn returned, the entire family headed toward the granduncle’s house. It was a small villa of more than 300 square meters that cost ten million. As soon as they entered the living room, they found that almost everyone was there. The second uncle’s family had already arrived, and some relatives were talking in full swing while complimenting each other.
Philip grabbed hold of Wynn before she turned around and said with a smile, “What are you going to say? I’m bankrupt now. If you tell them about it, it’s the same as telling them that I’m still that trash. Forget it. I’ve already endured it for so long. I don’t care about this time.” Wynn looked at Philip aggrievedly, took his hand, and said, "Phil, I don't want you to be treated unfairly. “It’s fine, silly. Let’s go over there. They’re waiting to talk to this successful entrepreneur.” Philip bopped Wynn on her nose and chuckled. Wynn rolled her eyes at him coyly. “What entrepreneur? I’m just your wife. Besides, if not for you, I’d still be an ordinary employee.” Philip did not say anything. He continued making tea and brought it into the living room. Coincidentally, he overheard the relatives discussing Beacon. “Wynn, I heard that your company received an investment from Milanelson Angel Investment Group?” Bradford’s son, Kirk Green, asked with a smile while drinking tea
Martha’s wishful thinking was very meticulous. She would not force it if Wynn really did not like him, but the more investments the better. She refused to believe that someone would invest in Beacon for no good reason. The other party had to be up to something. It just so happened that Jacey returned at this time. She just came back from the company. Recently, the company’s business had declined and they were short of funds, so she was very busy. As soon as she entered the door, Jacey made a face, obviously unhappy. She threw her handbag on the sofa. Everyone could tell that Jacey was in a bad mood. At this time, Seth approached with a cheeky smile and said, “What’s the matter, Jacey? Are you still worried about the company?” As he said that, he served Jacey the tea that was prepared by Philip. It was very well-played. Jacey took a sip of the tea, then took out the gift she had prepared before handing it to Bradford She said, “Grandpa, I wish you many happy returns of
Had Philip gone mad? How could he say such words?! He could help them? What could a piece of useless trash like him do? Jacey and Seth also looked at Philip blankly before they sneered, “Philip, what right do you have to speak here? What do you mean you can help? What can a good-for-nothing like you do?” Jacey’s gaze was sullen. She was wishing that she could give Philip a big slap right now. This guy actually dared to speak out now? Was he showing off just because his wife was the chairman of a big company? “Hehe, his wife is in a big position and he thinks he can brag about it.” Seth mocked dispassionately. He stared at Wynn pointedly as if he could see through her clothes. Seth had coveted Wynn for a long time but had no chance to act on it. Now, when he imagined a woman like Wynn betraying her body for status, he was both angry and excited! Wynn was such a b*tch! Other relatives also looked at Philip mockingly. “That’s enough, Philip, this matter has nothi
Kirk could tell that Wynn was in a difficult position, so he suggested another alternative. “Wynn, if you really can’t help us, can you help us contact the person in charge of Milanelson Angel Investment Group? I think, with your connections, you can help us get an investment of ten million, right?” Kirk’s plan was very meticulous. Seth agreed excitedly. “Yes, Dad is right! Wynn must know the person in charge. Let alone ten million, even 100 million won’t be a problem! Right, Wynn?” Seth deliberately dug a pit for Wynn. Once she agreed, she would be humiliated if she could not get an investment of 100 million. Jacey also jumped in. “Wynn, our whole family is begging you for help. Just say the word if you’re willing to help us.” Wynn was in a pickle. On the other side, Kirk’s wife spoke to Martha. Martha could not withstand the pleas from the relatives. She pulled Wynn and said, “Wynnie, just help them out.” Having said that, Martha looked at Kirk and continued, “However
“What? You want to see me kneel down and apologize?” Seth deliberately raised his voice, looked at Philip amusedly, and poked him on the chest rudely with one finger. He said, “Philip, do you have a screw loose somewhere? How dare you say such words?” Philip grinned broadly. “Very soon.” Very soon? All the relatives were confused by Philip. They had no idea what he was talking about. “Philip, are you done humiliating yourself? It’s really my bad luck to have a son-in-law like you!” Martha got up, pointed at Philip, and began to swear unscrupulously, “Get lost, get lost at once!” Martha really hated Philip for embarrassing her. She was finally able to brag in front of her relatives, but Philip ruined it for her. She loathed him! Fortunately, the brat had signed the agreement. Otherwise, she would be at a loss. Following Martha’s scolding, the relatives also added their two cents’ worth. Seth chuckled and patted Philip on the shoulder as he said, “What did you mean
On the other side, Seth eagerly said, “Hahaha, don’t forget we have someone by the name of Clarke here too, right, Philip?” The crowd immediately turned unfriendly eyes toward Philip. Him? How could he ever be the billionaire Mr. Clarke? What a joke! “Hehe, if Philip is that Mr. Clarke, I’m most willing to kneel and apologize to him,” Jacey said contemptuously, her eyes full of disdain toward Philip. “You really do have to have to kneel down and apologize,” Philip said indifferently, a trace of chill in his eyes. “What? Did I hear it wrongly? Do you really think you’re that Mr. Clarke? Rubbish!” Jacey immediately jumped to her feet, pointed at Philip’s nose while cursing. She was even about to hit him. Seth also defended his wife. He pushed Philip and chastised, “Worthless bum! Stop being so shameless. Wynn is the one who helped us on this matter. What has anything got to do with you? Besides, can you be that Mr. Clarke? That person is worth hundreds of billions of as
Wynn watched as Ian trotted over while sweating profusely. It seemed as if he was about to meet someone important. Furthermore, at this moment, Ian actually reached out his hand to Philip. With a face full of utmost respect, he said, “Mr. Clarke, I’m finally meeting you. I rushed here especially for this.” Mr… Mr. Clarke? Wynn’s jaw dropped open as she stared at Philip incredulously! What was going on here? Ian Sawyer was known as the person in charge of Milanelson Angel investment Group. Now, he was actually speaking in such a respectful manner to Philip. Moreover, he referred to Philip as Mr. Clarke! “Phil… Philip, what’s going on here?” Wynn was flustered, and her eyes were wide in shock. Ian quickly greeted Wynn, “Madam Johnston, hello, I’m here to see Mr. Clarke. The 100 million investment for Seaton Trading Company was agreed by Mr. Clarke just now.” It really was him! Wynn could no longer stay calm. She stared at Philip with bright eyes and asked, “Philip
After getting rid of the crocodile, Philip jumped up and returned to the shore with Rabbit. Although he had been fighting in the water for a while, Philip was not wet at all—a stark contrast with Rabbit. “Philip, are your clothes waterproof? Maybe I should see if I can make my fur waterproof?” After he was back to safety, Rabbit started shooting his mouth off excitedly again. He never thought he could survive. Philip was expectant when he felt the sudden increase in his power. He dragged the crocodile ashore. He thought this creature was weird. It was not a monster beast and did not have a monster core. However, it was very powerful and could fight Philip with its body alone. The monster beasts he had seen in the past could spray fire or water, fly in the air, or burrow underground. In short, they had some abilities to a certain extent. However, the crocodile in front of him did not display any abilities. It was just like an ordinary crocodile in the zoo. Despite that, ev
When they arrived at the oasis, Philip found that it covered a large area. This place could be considered a large island that looked quite luxurious and extraordinary. “We can finally have a good rest.” Rabbit leaned against a big tree comfortably. He felt relaxed as soon as he entered the oasis, which was not so hot and had abundant water resources. “The environment is quite good, but I wonder if there’s any danger.” Philip looked around with satisfaction. Suddenly, an ugly monster rushed toward them, so fast that Rabbit could not react. Rabbit was very close to the water and was taken by the monster before he could react. Philip immediately gave chase. The monster bit Rabbit and plunged into the water. Philip reached out and grabbed the monster. He knew that Rabbit was useless in such cases. Rabbit would probably be dead if the weird monster took him away. “Philip, save me!” Rabbit spluttered in the water, bobbing up and down, feeling very scared. He regretted staying
“This may look very cruel, but it wouldn’t have happened if they hadn’t attacked us,” Rabbit said with a sigh. He knew that Philip would not have done this if the ants had not treated them as food. He knew Philip too well. He would avoid trouble as much as possible. Philip would not attack for no reason even if he had to take a detour. However, the ants’ killing intent was too strong. It was bad enough if Rabbit felt scared. He just wanted to cheer for Philip. “Philip, did you notice that this place is not a secret realm but more like a world?” Rabbit said doubtfully. At first, Rabbit thought that the stone man had teleported them to a terrible secret realm, but after some time, he felt a difference between this place and a secret realm. “Although we can find various natural environments in a secret realm, they're generally false and can't appear in front of us, but everything around us is real!” The monsters they usually encountered in a secret realm would attack their s
“Wait a minute. Do you think that the black energy is approaching us?” Moray stepped back in a panic and looked around in disbelief. Hearing that, everyone looked at their surroundings. Sure enough, the black energy was getting closer. Aslan estimated that it would take six hours for the black energy to trap everyone. Aslan was calm. All the people under Philip’s command did not find the black energy dangerous. Only the losers would find it dangerous. Now that Philip was trapped, it was useless for them to worry. Aslan took out some recliners from his space ring and asked everyone to wait quietly. “Now that we’re free, let’s prepare some food and drinks. Let's not get into trouble.” At Aslan’s order, everyone took action. They had nothing to worry about. The others stared at them in surprise and amazement. Now that danger was upon them, how could these people laugh and eat without worries? They did not take the stone man seriously at all. However, they could not do
“What the hell did you do? Give Philip back. Stop messing around!” Aslan threatened the stone man. Aslan knew that the stone man must have taken Philip to a dangerous place. Philip must have been taken into a barrier or an unknown and terrifying place. Anyway, the stone man must be up to no good! The stone man calmly ignored them. “I’m your only opponent. I don't know how many stone people there are in the outside world, but as far as I know, I’m the only stone man in this world. “Since Philip is that powerful, I’ll give him six hours. If he can leave my secret realm, I’ll let you go. If not, be prepared to die.” After saying that, the stone man laughed wickedly and vanished from the spot, leaving everyone looking at each other in bewilderment. No one knew where he had gone, and no one knew what was going on. The people of the major races summoned their people in a panic. No matter what, they had to find the way out. “Hurry up and find an exit. We can't put all our hope
“Let’s walk ahead. I believe this is an illusion created by the stone man to confuse us. As long as we stay calm, he can’t do anything to us,” Philip said calmly as if he knew what was going on. He and Rabbit walked forward and soon saw a huge oasis in front of them. Rabbit was delighted to see the oasis because that meant there was still hope for them. Although the desert environment was harsh, they should be able to bump into some indigenous people and figure out what was going on. “Philip, are my eyes playing tricks on me? I see an oasis ahead of us. This is great. In that case, we can find a way out!” Rabbit knew that Philip had been looking for a way out but to no avail. Something had to be preventing him from doing it. They might have to pass a test before they could leave. In that case, they had to figure out the secret. Philip glanced at the oasis in front of him and relaxed a little. At least, he could tell that it was not a mirage. They excitedly ran to the oasi
The black shadow was not bothered about revealing its identity because it liked being a stone man. “The stone people have strong minds and a firm resolve. They're never as disgusting and selfish as humans. It's a pity that we didn't have a chance to develop. I found a fragmented scroll that recorded some techniques for development. Among them is a technique most suitable for the stone people to become stronger through a sacrificial ritual.” The stone man seemed very earnest as he explained the details, but he was, in fact, using this time to solidify his body until he was finally complete. “Haha, everything is over once I get rid of you!” the stone man laughed. His figure shook, and clouds of black energy formed again. However, the black energy was only aimed at Philip. In his opinion, the others would die once he got rid of Philip. Philip was surrounded by black energy before he could react. In a split second, he could not see anything around him. Seeing this, Rabbit rushe
Before this, these people kept insulting Philip and wished they could tear him into pieces. They even thought it was unlucky to see him here. Surprisingly, events took a sudden turn, and Philip became their savior instead. “Enough with the crap.” Philip did not want to respond to their gratitude. He just wished they could get the fight over and done with so that they could leave. “By the way, I'm curious about something.” As the fight reached the boiling point, Philip turned to the black shadow curiously. The black shadow was taken aback by Philip’s sudden remark. “What are you curious about?” The black shadow wanted to buy some time. It was just a step away from forming a solid entity, which could improve its strength significantly. Philip would have to think twice about dealing with it by then. Thus, the black shadow was excited that Philip wanted to chat with it. “How did you make that mysterious old man convey the news?” According to most people, they found out about
The black shadow gained strength by devouring other people’s flesh and blood. Philip knew that he might be no match for the black shadow once it devoured everyone present. After going through all the trouble, it would not let all its efforts go to waste. Philip's appearance had ruined its plan. It would probably go crazy if it could not devour these people. “No one can stop me today. So what if you’re strong? I don't believe you can save everyone!” After saying this, the black energy rushed to the merfolk. The merfolk ran to Philip in a panic, hoping that Philip could protect them. “Lyle,” Philip said. Philip was exasperated by these stupid merfolk. Lyle rushed forward and attacked the black energy. Back then, Philip had given them sachets to ward off evil energy. Lyle had a sudden idea and hurled a sachet at the black shadow. It was just an experiment, but it worked. After sensing the powder in Philip's sachet, the black energy shrank back and stopped moving as if it h
