Philip listened silently as he formed a judgment in his heart. Now was not the time to deal with this old guy yet. However, his mother's accident had something to do with him. He had to make a trip. “Teacher, if I’m about to deal with him, will you help me?” Philip asked. After a moment of silence, Reed said, “I won’t step in, but you’re free to utilize the Dragon Warriors.” After all, this involved the former supreme, and very often, Reed could not be involved. He could only help Philip pacify the threats from the rear as much as possible. With these words from Reed, Philip felt some reassurance. He smiled and said, “Thank you, teacher.” Haha! A hearty laugh came from the other end of the phone. Reed said, “You rascal. You’re getting more and more powerful now. Even the former supreme is now your target.” Philip chuckled and chatted with Reed for a few minutes before he hung up the phone. On the other side, Reed's face gradually became very grave after he hung up
The next day, Philip brought Mila to the hospital to visit Hannah. However, before he entered the door, he saw a lot of people gathered at the entrance of Hannah's ward. They were pointing and talking. “Gosh, these ruffians are treating that young lady so harshly!” “Yes, that little girl is so pitiful. Why is no one from her family here yet?” Philip had just walked in. When he heard these comments, he panicked. He pushed aside the crowd and saw four or five people in the ward. Among them, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes was sitting on the sofa with one leg propped over the other. He had a broad back and a slightly chubby figure. He was smoking a cigar while looking at Hannah whose head was buried in the pillow on the hospital bed. The other four bodyguards in black suits stood beside her with a solemn expression! “Hannah Clarke, what’s wrong? Don’t you recognize me anymore after returning to the country? When will you pay back the money you owe us?” The mi
The ward suddenly fell silent! The middle-aged man looked at Philip with astonishment before laughing mockingly. “What did you say? Do you want me to kneel and apologize to her? Friend, I'm afraid you still don't know who I am. Let me introduce myself. I’m a subordinate of Lord Hades from the 12 Sacred Halls of the West!” Philip frowned as his expression chilled. The 12 Sacred Halls, huh? It turned out to be them. Seeing the frown on Philip, the middle-aged man continued coldly and said, “Haven’t you heard of it? Let me give you a detailed introduction to our Lord Hades, then. He rules the seven western cities with seven great envoys under him, each of whom is a successful entrepreneur with abundant wealth! People like you can’t even begin to imagine the wealth and abilities of the seven great envoys! The status and strength of Lord Hades are not something you can figure out! “Just to give you the simplest example, even if Mr. Gates were to meet our Lord Hades, he must be r
At this moment, the middle-aged man was finally flustered. He frowned and looked at Philip who was walking toward him and shouted, “How dare you do this to the people belonging to the lord envoy? You’re looking for death! “Hey, what do you want? Don't come over!” Looking at Philip's cold face, the middle-aged man was so scared that he backed away again and again. He tripped his heel on the sofa and fell onto it. “Apologize to my sister!” Philip said coldly with eyes that looked like he wanted to kill. The middle-aged man was quite stubborn and shouted directly, “Impossible! I'm a member of Envoy Kells under Lord Hades! Except for the envoy and the lord, no one is qualified to make me apologize!” Bam! Philip went straight up and stepped heavily on the middle-aged man's chest! Crack! Broken ribs! The middle-aged man screamed as big beads of sweat rolled off his forehead. “You... Let go! You’ve offended lord envoy! Only death awaits you!” The middle-aged man scream
Doverton, Shore Manor. This manor was the symbol of the entire Doverton. The owner of this manor was the largest family in Doverton and also the top family in national martial arts, the Shore family! The Shore family had resided in Doverton for hundreds of years. Without a doubt, it was a family with the most branch families in Doverton. Moreover, the entire Doverton respected the familial concept. As the largest family in Doverton, the Shore family naturally had deployments and contacts everywhere in Doverton! It was not an exaggeration to say that the Shore family reigned supremacy over the entire Doverton! No matter where they went, the members of the Shore family would garner full attention and respect. Today, the entire Shore Manor was crowded with people! There was a huge arena stage in the square of Shore Manor, and the surrounding stands were already full of people at this moment! In the uppermost central position, the patriarchs and disciples of the four gre
Everyone’s expressions became very unpleasant, especially since they were being publicly chastised by an Ace. Sebastian Lloyd’s eyes were cold as a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. He said, “Jacob, do you really think you can defeat all of us here? You’re on your own. No matter how strong you are, you can’t withstand it.” Lupin Gold, the patriarch of the Gold family, sneered in agreement. “Senior Jensen, being able to compete in 32 matches at your age has already made you a role model for my generation. However, you’re seriously injured now. Do you think you can continue fighting the next 32 matches?” Hmph! Jacob waved his hand and shouted angrily, “For the justice of national martial arts, even if I fall on this martial arts stage today, I’m better than rats like you!” After speaking, the intensity of an Ace soared within Jacob once again and swept across the audience! Everyone was stunned again! As expected of an Ace! He actually had such strong dominance!
On the stands, the patriarchs of the smaller national martial arts families and the heads of certain forces rushed out at this moment, pouring onto the martial arts stage! Instantly! Jacob was now fighting with more than a dozen people! Several patriarchs of the smaller families and the heads of other forces were almost taken out with only one blow, flying out and crashing on the ground! However, as time dragged on and on, the balance of scales also started to tilt! Finally, Jacob began to run out of energy and started to retreat steadily! Elliot saw the right opportunity and punched Jacob’s chest with an iron-like fist! Pfft! Jacob suddenly spurted blood from his mouth, his whole body flying upside down. He fell heavily on the competition stage! The old man in his 80s whose energy had almost run out slowly stood up from the ground. Looking disheveled, he glared at the dozens of people in front of him! He shouted coldly, “Vermin, come at me again!” Elliot remained
Old Lady Walid stared doubtfully at the extended Lincoln sedan. Of course, everyone else was also looking at it too. It was because they could clearly see that the six experts were standing on both sides of the Lincoln like they were guarding the master in the car. The doors at the front opened first with Theo and Master Bell stepping down. “Is that Master Bell of Uppercreek and Theo Zander of Riverdale?” Someone recognized these two people and suddenly shouted. Elliot frowned. Why had people from the underground world come to his Shore family in Doverton to participate in the affairs of the martial arts world? Immediately after, under the nervous gazes of everyone, the rear door of the extended Lincoln sedan finally opened. A tall and handsome figure walked out of the car. He was dressed in a navy blue suit and had a pair of sunglasses on his face. He looked energetic and majestic while exuding an extremely powerful aura. Even from afar, he gave many people an invisi
“Philip's strength mostly comes from his very powerful pet rabbit. Although it's a monster beast, it's a force to be reckoned with. It isn't something anyone can deal with,” Hogster said with lingering fear. He could not forget how Rabbit had beaten Alain to a pulp. “Yes, the rabbit is a force to be reckoned with. You'd better not mess with it for no reason. I really wonder where such a powerful monster beast came from.” Alain seemed very steadfast, but he was already having a mental meltdown. However, he did not want to embarrass himself in public, so he gritted his teeth and hung on. The hooded man looked at Alain and sneered inwardly. He took out a pill from his pocket and handed it to him. “Take this or I’m afraid you’ll collapse soon.” He could notice Alain’s condition at a glance and knew he would not last long. “Forget it. I won’t hide it from you. In fact, the rabbit inflicted all these injuries on me. I wouldn’t be in this miserable state if the rabbit weren’t that
Although the strength of the test subject had increased, he was not highly valued at all because his talent was not affected and did not meet the guild’s requirements. “Okay, you may leave now. Your strength has improved, so make sure to practice hard and don’t let us down,” Alain said grandly, sending the other party away. He knew that this person was nothing but a loser. The guild member who was the test subject had no idea how pathetic he was. Instead, he looked at Alain with excitement and gratitude. Hogster swallowed the potion without hesitation. He quickly felt the changes in his body as if he had become very powerful in just a few seconds. Hogster looked at the hooded man in surprise. He never thought that he could become so strong. “Wow, this is amazing!” Hogster was shocked by this unexpected outcome. His lack of self-esteem was quickly replaced with brimming confidence, and he even had the urge to mess with Philip. In his opinion, Philip was nothing special. Now
“Don’t worry, I mean no harm. That thing is quite good.” The silly member took the potion nervously and looked at Alain expectantly. “Sir, I think I’m getting stronger!” The silly guy showed off his strength excitedly. Alain stepped forward and examined the guild member curiously. Sure enough, his strength had increased. Alain found the increase in strength quite incredible. Moreover, he did not find any side effects on the other party, which was the most surprising. This potion was amazing beyond anyone’s imagination! Alain was very excited and wished he could take it too. “I believe you should know the value of this potion. Just win the competition and stop worrying about the rest.” Alain and the hooded man stepped aside to discuss offering the boys and girls. Hogster was taken aback to hear them. The two quickly reached an agreement as they knew how unethical this transaction was. “Father, you actually agreed to his request! Aren't you afraid that it’ll be expose
By taking the potion, a person could increase their overall strength, and there would be no side effects. It was a miracle potion, indeed. Alain was stunned to hear that. He felt that the hooded man was bragging. How could there be such an amazing potion? “Are you serious? It can’t be that simple.” Alain took the potion from the other party and sized it up, wondering if he should trust this thing. “If you don't believe it, you can give it a try. I don’t mind. You have many people under your command anyway. You can choose to use them as a test subject.” The hooded man was quite cold and aloof in both his actions and speech. Alain nervously clenched the potion tightly. “In that case, I’ll give it a try. Let me find someone.” Alain did not fully trust the hooded man’s words. In his opinion, it was better to play it safe. Who knew if anything would happen? He was nervous about giving something like this to his precious son. At this time, a guild member who was not highly valu
“I won’t be joining your guild, but I don’t mind being a spectator. At least I can watch the fun. I know that you’re quite strong, so you don’t need me. As long as nothing unexpected happens, I don’t think you’ll face a problem.” Philip smiled indifferently, quite confident that nothing much would happen. The overall strength of the Celestial Palace had improved significantly, so they really had nothing to worry about. Jamie was relieved to hear that. In that case, he could rest assured.… The guild competition officially kicked off, and everyone was ready to battle it out. The battles were not something that simply required strength to resolve. Occasionally, the competitors required tactics too. As Alain was feeling anxious, his reinforcement finally arrived at the scene. The hooded man turned up with some potions, ready to carry out his task. “Hey, you’re finally here. I thought I wouldn’t see you again.” Alain was worried. He knew that he was in a precarious situati
“Father, what happened to you? Don’t scare me!” Hogster sat by Alain’s bedside and asked in a panic. Hogster would not have been worried about Alain in the past, but things were different now. They were facing various crises. Without his father to take care of things, they would be doomed. Alain coughed violently and fumbled around for some healing pills before stuffing them into his mouth. The pills were not useful for his injuries but could at least relieve his pain. After Alain took the pills, Hogster hugged him excitedly. “This is great! I thought you were about to drop dead.” Alain almost died in anger over his son’s remark. “Hogster, you have to take part in the competition on behalf of the guild. This is the best chance for you to become stronger. You’ll make a name for yourself if you do this.” Alain held Hogster's hand and placed all his hopes on him. Hearing that, Hogster said awkwardly, “Father, although I’m quite strong, you can’t do this to me! How am I suppose
The rabbit had a very expressive face as if it was watching Alain make a fool of himself. “You’re quite the smooth talker. If you have more words of encouragement, let’s hear them.” Hay dangled from Rabbit's mouth, and he seemed disdainful. Alain seemed conflicted at the sight of Rabbit and felt like he was looking at Philip instead. “Why are you here?” This rabbit was weird, and no one could control it. As far as Alain knew, the rabbit was famous in major cities and good at picking fights. “Of course, I’m here to teach you a lesson. Do you think I traveled this far to buy you a meal?” After saying this, Rabbit jumped up and kicked Alain, who started spitting mouthfuls of blood. Alain was strong in his own right, so there was no way he would be helpless against an attack. However, he simply could not resist Rabbit and could only suffer a beating. The guild members in the surroundings closed their eyes, feeling sorry for their guild leader. No one thought they could win th
It seemed that Alain had overestimated his importance. “Hey, wait a minute. Don't be so hasty. I just want to think about how to make things better. You should know that things are not as simple as you think. If I agree so easily, others might target me.” The hooded man sneered inwardly at Alain’s flattering appearance. He knew that Alain was probably trying to bargain with him. “I thought you wouldn’t consider it, but you seem quite willing to work with us.” The hooded man smiled calmly as if mocking Alain from the bottom of his heart. Although Alain was being ridiculed, he could not say a word. The hooded man held the reins, so Alain had no choice but to obey. “I don’t mind this cooperation, but we need to plan this thoroughly. If you can help my guild to make a comeback in this competition, I can agree to your condition. Since you found me, you should know the trouble my guild is facing right now. Philip and his people are messing with us, and the Celestial Palace is keepi
Alain was a smart man and quickly grasped the key point. It seemed that this man was here to help him. “Tell me what you want. Stop wasting my time. If you’re here to help me, let’s have an open discussion.” Alain was no longer nervous and stared at the other party calmly. Hearing that, the hooded man smiled smugly. “I know that your guild is facing a crisis. I can help you with that. I can get rid of all your problems and also ensure that your guild scores victory. Although I can't guarantee that you’ll win the championship, taking one of the top spots won’t be a problem.” The hooded man spoke calmly as if he was confident that Alain would agree. Sure enough, Alain was expectant to hear this man’s offer to help him. At a moment of crisis, it was every man for himself. Right now, no one was willing to help him or lend a helping hand. Alain thought that this was too much of a coincidence. “There’s no such thing as a free lunch. What do you want in return?” Alain knew that
