“Let’s go!” Vance shouted and left with his men. Philip sneered as they left. They were pretty strong but not as good as he thought. “Watch out for their retaliation,” Philip reminded Granite. Granite smiled and said, “Don’t you think I can't deal with that guy?” Granite was pretty confident about himself. With Philip’s help, he had improved by leaps and bounds. He was totally different from before. “I know you’re very confident in yourself, but it’s better to be prepared.” Philip could tell that Vance was not someone who would give up easily. As an outsider, he would never accept this indignity and would strive to make a name for himself. Granite was not very concerned about it, but he took Philip’s advice seriously. “Don’t worry, I’ll watch out. I won’t let him get me.” Philip reminded everyone to always be prepared for the worst. Even though they could get rid of the guards, what if the other party found more powerful helpers? Philip’s worries were not unfounded.
Now that Vance's mother was in charge of the finances, everyone had to please her to gain a foothold in Cosmo City. Vance returned to the inn in a huff. This commotion attracted the attention of many people. As the most distinguished son of the family, his mood was very important. Vance did not contain his temper. They had reserved the inn, so only his family members were present. “Mom, someone bullied me!” Vance leaned close to his mother and angrily told her what happened. He did not realize his mistake but felt that Philip was deliberately making things difficult for him. “Why does someone like me have to queue up to buy something? Do they really think we're losers just because our city has been destroyed by beasts?” His mother was furious to hear his inflated story. “What? Where did that brat come from? How dare he attack you? Although we had no choice but to move here, it doesn’t mean we’ll always remain as refugees! We're above commoners! If anyone dares to mess w
Vance was sullen and felt that Philip had hurt him. As a person of high ranking in Breeze City, Vance was not used to such humiliation. “I have to let him know that I’m a person of noble status while someone like him can only hope to remain a shopkeeper for the rest of his life!” No store ever dared to kick him out. Philip was the first. Jeff looked at Vance nervously, wondering why this store messed with Vance. Although he wanted to figure out how the conflict started, it was not the time to speak while they were out in public. Jeff noticed Vance’s air of superiority and sighed. “Do whatever you want, but you have to bear responsibility for your actions! I suggest that we divide our family property so that we can protect ourselves if something goes wrong," Jeff finally stated his thoughts and purpose. Everyone finally realized how important energy stones were after they encountered the beast stampede and were forced to flee from Breeze City. “I think we can consider your
At Riverdale Public Hospital. “Excuse me, make way!” Philip Clarke was carrying an unconscious little girl as he rushed into the hospital, yelling madly, “Doctor! Doctor! Quick, save my little girl!” The nurses and doctor who had rushed out quickly took the child from Philip’s arms, and entered the emergency room. “Oh, you can’t go in!” A nurse in an azure-colored uniform with a face mask stopped Philip from entering into the emergency room. Just then, the rapid sounds of high heels clicking against the ceramic tiles could be heard from the back, squeezing his heart with every click. “Philip Clarke!” roared a woman’s voice. ‘Slap!’ A crisp slap came in firm contact with Philip’s cheek. Before him, stood Wynn Johnston with an enraged expression as tears pooled in her beautiful eyes. “If anything happens to my daughter, I will never forgive you!” Her tone was cold and laced with full fury. This scene frightened quite a few patients and their family members in the hospital
Philip’s expression changed, frowning slightly. Seeing Philip in his delivery uniform, looking shabby, Lily pointed at the door and said, “Get out now, we don’t allow delivery men here.” “I’m not here for delivery,” explained Philip. Lily tidied her bangs before crossing her arms and said icily, “This is not the first time I hear this. Everyone that comes in here says they’re not delivery men. Please!” “I’m not. I’m here to see George Thomas.” Feeling exasperated, Philip headed inside after saying that. “F*ck! Are you mad? Didn’t you hear what I was saying?” Lily was furious. It was her first time seeing such a shameless delivery man who would just force his way in after being denied entry. Just then, a department manager seemed to have heard the commotion and came out with an ugly expression. “What’s going on?” “Manager Stuart, this delivery man is trying to force his way into our office!” Lily pointed at Philip and then continued with much disdain, “I’ll get security to
“It’s just money. Who said I didn’t manage to borrow any?” Philip glared viciously at Juan. Juan was dumbstruck as his expression froze. When the surprise was still evident in his eyes, Philip tossed the plastic bag in his hand in front of him and Wynn. The bag fell with a loud thud and rolls of cash appeared before their eyes. The corner of Juan’s eye twitched slightly as his lips trembled. His hands had subconsciously balled into fists. Wynn was surprised. She stared at the money Philip had tossed in front of them, confused, but then her expression immediately turned cold as anger surfaced in her eyes. Where did Philip get all this money? If he had this, why didn’t he take it out earlier? I even had to keep another man company by chatting happily with him! Doesn’t he know how tiring it is? “Here’s a hundred thousand. I’m paying you back all at once, including the past loans! Don’t ever come here again,” said Philip coldly. Juan did not take the money. To be frank, this
Wilson was now boiling with anger! That madman blocked the new boss’ Bentley! Was he looking for trouble? “Philip Clarke, what are you still standing there for? Get out of the way!” Wilson pointed at Philip and barked at him. Philip had only just parked his scooter when he received another round of scolding from Wilson. “Oh no! Philip’s done for this time. Brother Wil’s going to have a fit.” “Ten complaint calls, and this crazy guy still has the guts to come back!” “This will cost at least two hundred in deductions, that’s a day’s work!” A few staff were gossiping quietly, and some others were enjoying the show. Among them were some old staff who used to work for Philip. When they saw the man reduced to the point of having to become a delivery man just like them, they started becoming more mean toward him. Philip was already used to it. Just then, Mr. Tanks glanced at Philip coldly. He looked annoyed and asked, “Manager Young, is this your staff?” Wilson quickly answere
“Why are you here?” Wynn frowned and glanced at the Bentley beside Philip. Did he just come out from that car? Is this my wretched husband? Or do delivery companies now deliver meals in Bentleys? “I… I uh…” Philip stammered then swept a look at George who was smiling like a flower through the window. The old man quickly put out a hand and said, “Young man, thank you. It’s thanks to you that I finally found this place. Let this old man treat you to a meal next time to show my gratitude.” Philip smiled and nodded politely. “That’s okay, sir. Please take care on your way back.” The tone of his voice hinted to the elderly man to leave quickly. George did not say anything but smiled and nodded at Wynn before asking the driver to move away. Wynn froze in shock! Wasn’t… wasn’t that the chairman of Apex Group, President Thomas?! The wealthiest man in the city! And Philip was just in the same car with him! “Do you know George Thomas?” Wynn looked back at Philip, surprised. Philip
