“Venom, that’s enough. Don’t cause trouble.” At this moment, the alluring woman beside the black-robed man suddenly spoke up. Her voice was pleasant and enticing. While speaking, she also raised her eyebrows and looked at Philip with a smile that was meant to be provocative. Hearing that, Venom Paine reduced his aura, looked at Philip meaningfully, and said, “You’re very interesting. I hope we can meet again later.” After saying that, Venom stopped looking at Philip. The woman beside him looked at Philip with a charming smile before she turned around and followed the other two people in front into the Concord Hotel. It was not until they left that Philip breathed a sigh of relief. The feeling just now was too strange. These people from the Nonagon were indeed extraordinary. Philip took a deep breath before walking into the Concord Hotel while being led by the attendant. Soon, he came to the main hall. At the scene, many glamorously dressed men and women were gathere
Hearing this, the crowd looked sideways and could not hide the fire in their eyes. It turned out there was such an opportunity tonight. In other words, if they obtained the favor of Sheryl Larson, they would have one foot in the Nonagon. This was a decisive opportunity! Many descendants of large families present at the venue initially had little hope at first and were merely trying their luck. However, when they heard about this, all of them rushed enthusiastically to Sheryl, uttering all kinds of flattering words. Sheryl dealt with them one by one, appearing very gracious. Philip sat in the corner alone, watching all this indifferently. A sneer of realization appeared at the corners of his mouth. Good for Sheryl Larson. It seemed she had been setting up a trap for him. A special guest enforcer? Interesting. Philip’s eyes were slightly cold as he stared at Sheryl who was surrounded by the crowd. The other party seemed to have seen him as well. She signaled her subor
“Miss Larson, you must take a good look. This kid is just an ordinary person. He’s nothing! I’m the head of the Seed family in Uppercreek, and I’m willing to pay 500 million dollars! I only ask Miss Larson to recommend me to the enforcers.” At these words, the crowd raised their hands and shouted. “The Wood family will pay 800 million dollars. I hope Miss Larson can put in a few good words about me in front of the enforcers.” “The Sutton family will offer one billion dollars!” “1.5 billion dollars from the Leeds family! The Leeds family will definitely get the spot in Miss Larson’s hand!” For a moment, the hall suddenly turned into an auction. Countless people started bidding and even came to blows! However, Sheryl only smiled lightly and said to the agitated crowd, “I appreciate your kindness, but the Larson family has already selected the most suitable candidate.” “Who?” someone asked indignantly. “It can’t be that guy, right?” someone pointed at Philip and asked. S
When Sheryl heard that, her body shuddered slightly as she mumbled, “I’m not hiding anything from you.” Seeing Sheryl’s evading eyes, Philip chuckled and pushed Sheryl away. He was about to walk out. At this time, Sheryl panicked. She quickly chased after him and clutched Philip’s arm, saying coquettishly, “Don’t be in such a hurry to leave. Since you’re already here, don’t you want to meet the people from the Nonagon?” Philip turned around, raised his eyebrows, and said with a snort, “Sheryl, what exactly are you up to? Do you really think I’ll help you?” Sheryl let go of Philip’s arm, crossed her arms over her chest, and said, “You will because I have a secret that you want to know.” Philip frowned and asked, “What secret?” Sheryl replied, “It’s about your mother’s accident. Don’t you want to find out something?” “Are you threatening me?” Philip’s face turned grim, the chill in his eyes absolutely frightening. However, Sheryl seemed unperturbed. She smiled and said, “
Sheryl smiled sweetly and said, “You don't have to worry about that. I have my own arrangements. I can get you into the Nonagon safely. As for whether you can pass the final selection of the Nonagon and successfully enter the door, it depends on your own strength.” Hehe. Philip sneered and said, “As far as I know, the Nonagon is filled with a bunch of freaks. Do you think I can find what my mother left me and take it out under the noses of that bunch of freaks and the Five Pavilions? “Besides, it’s been so many years. Why do you think I can find something that even the Five Pavilions can’t? Sheryl Larson, this lie you’ve made up is too unreliable. Even if you want me to work for the Larson family, there’s no need to tell such a lie.” Philip said suddenly, his eyes looking icy cold. Sheryl smiled as if she had expected Philip not to believe her. She said, “If you don't believe me, you can meet the people from the Nonagon with me and listen to what they have to say.” Philip t
Instantly! The atmosphere in the entire hall became somewhat cold and awkward. Who was this kid to talk to the people from the Nonagon like that? Did he know the kind of people he was dealing with? These were the four enforcers of the Nonagon! Moreover, that sturdy man exuding chills was the most belligerent, malicious, and vindictive among the four! Hiss! Everyone gasped, and many looked at Philip in confusion. They also looked at Sheryl who sat beside him. Was this the talent chosen by the Larson family? How arrogant. He was young and fearless. At the same time, the man in the black robe slowly removed his hood, revealing his hideous and vicious face. He had dark skin and a tattoo of a tiger on his arms and neck. This tattoo alone was enough to make the people present tremble. People from the Nonagon were not ordinary people. These people were freaks who had entered the door. The man's eyes were savage. The scar at the corner of his mouth was now raised,
Venom withdrew his attack but the belligerent killing intent in his eyes did not dissipate. With a broad sneer, he said, “Young man, I’m very interested in you. You’re the first person who can stand in front of me without fear. I really hope to see you in the Nonagon.” After that, he turned around and returned to the side of the coquettish woman. The four of them sat down. Sheryl was extremely frightened just now. She quickly got up and asked with concern, “Philip, are you alright?” Philip shook his head and breathed a sigh of relief. The tremendous pressure he felt from Venom had disappeared at this moment. He smiled and said, “I’m fine.” Immediately after, his eyes swept over the four enforcers of the Nonagon. The other two removed their hoods as well and Philip finally got a good look at their faces. One of them was a middle-aged man about 40 years old with a gray goatee. His eyes were closed throughout, making it difficult to guess his thoughts. The other was a rath
Smack! A person in the hall angrily and abruptly slapped his palm on the table. Then, with a face full of chills, he pointed at Philip and shouted sternly, “How dare you?! Who told you to interrupt? Do you know what this place is? Do you know who the person you’re talking back to is?” “Miss Larson, is this the person chosen by your Larson family? I think he’s just an ignorant young man! How dare he question the decision of the Nonagon? Is he tired of living?” The man turned his head angrily and shouted at Sheryl. The coldness in his eyes could not be hidden! He was already angry and jealous of Sheryl for becoming a special guest enforcer. Now, the person she chose actually dared to question the decision of the Nonagon on such an occasion. No, he was questioning the four enforcers in front of him! Simply audacious! Was he unaware of who these people were? In these people's eyes, ordinary people like them were mere ants that could be wiped out at will! In their eyes, pe
A powerful practitioner could see things without solely relying on vision. After surveying around, Philip felt that it was a waste of time and decided to take everyone out. No matter what, he had to get hold of what he wanted before the other party tried to wiggle out of it. They were about to return the same way they came when they saw that the way had been blocked by something unknown. Aslan rushed forward and tried to force it open but to no avail. It had to be something special that they could not overlook. “They used something to trap us here. Those people are quite interesting. Do they think they can keep us here? What a joke!” Lyle cursed angrily. Those people were too much to play such underhanded tricks on them. Moreover, Philip and the others did not intimidate them or try to take their treasures by force. They could have negotiated a deal over it. However, the other party’s attitude seemed a little abnormal as they had no intention of cooperating. “Buddies, l
“Also, I smell a stench on them. How did they end up with that smell of decay and fish?” Katie joined in the complaints. As a woman who grew up in a fishing village, Katie knew that anyone would somewhat smell a little fishy if they had been in close contact with the sea and sea products for a long time, but elves were legendary nobles and had nothing to do with fish. She could not figure out why they smelled like that. Philip simply moved forward without a word. He had no answer to those questions either. The cave was dark and felt a little weird. Although he could sense his surroundings, the cave was filled with a strange and off-putting vibe. “I’m sure that the elf queen is up to no good, trying to trick us into entering this place. She’s probably going to deal with us. I have a feeling that something terrible lies ahead!” Aslan cursed, shivering as he thought of the other party’s ugly appearance. No one disagreed with his words. After all, they had seen for themselves h
“Take a look inside the cave if you’re up for it. I can consider giving you what you want if you leave the cave alive.” Philip nodded with satisfaction at the elf queen's cooperation. Although he knew that this was the other party’s trick to send them to their deaths, she clearly underestimated their strength. Once he was given the chance, it would be no different than delivering the treasure to his doorstep. “I look forward to this challenge. If possible, I hope all of us can enter.” Philip was excited. In his opinion, this was a great opportunity. The elf queen smirked smugly at Philip’s eagerness to die. This was exactly the effect she wanted. “No problem. All of you may enter. You can name your request if you can return alive, and I won’t turn you down.” The elf queen felt that Philip had totally fallen for her trick. Once they entered the cave, they would die for sure. The other elves looked at Philip warily. All hope was lost. They could only rely on their own strengt
“I’m surprised to find the long-lost humans in my territory. I've heard a lot about you.” The elf queen walked up to Philip elegantly. Hearing this voice, Philip looked back at the so-called elf queen, who sounded quite good. “What the heck?! She's so ugly.” Everyone could not help but curse after seeing her for the first time and had to cover their mouths, including Katie. Everyone clearly had the same opinion about this so-called elf queen, whose appearance was simply indescribable. “Is it true that only the ugliest elf has the right to become the boss? I thought the guard was ugly enough, but you bring ugliness to another level. How interesting.” Aslan was as outspoken as ever, and everyone burst out laughing at his crude remarks. Philip smiled at his sharp tongue. “You must be the queen of the elves.” Philip shook his head helplessly at the sight of the other party's goblin-like figure and shriveled wings. Although he had a smile on his face, the other party thought
The female elf put on her clothes in a panic and ran out in fear. The appearance of humans in the territory was a very serious matter. They had to report this incident at once. Philip did not stop the other party. He could tell at a glance that these two were very weak, almost at the bottom of the rung. There was no need to waste any time on them. It would be better to wait for an elf in charge to speak to them. “You've seriously neglected your duties. I’m afraid that I’ll have to report this,” Lyle said on purpose, smirking at the guard. It was ridiculous for a guard to neglect his duties to this extent when he was protecting the safety of all the elves, and Lyle hated such people the most. After leaving the room, the female elf ran to the elf queen in a panic. It was very serious to find outsiders in the elves' territory, not to mention that they were the legendary humans, a bunch of notorious evildoers. No one could imagine what chaos they would bring next. At this mom
Rabbit hopped around the grandmaster and felt that the latter was not lying. Rabbit had weathered many storms with Philip. He knew that according to human legends, the elves should be noble creatures. They were always arrogant and avoided contact with other creatures. “Anyway, since we’re here, let’s take a look inside. Who knows if any surprises are waiting for us?” Rabbit comforted Philip, and Black Rabbit was startled by his words. “You seem disappointed by this discovery. It doesn’t make sense to me. Are you really not aware of this situation?” Amid Black Rabbit's confusion, everyone entered the territory to watch the fun. Since the guard was enjoying his wonderful life, he did not pay attention to the invaders. He was supposed to be on duty with another guard today, but he swapped the other guard out because he wanted to be on a date with this female elf. The two were having a great romantic time in the room. Philip and his people entered the territory of the elves w
Later, the humans attacked the stone monsters, leaving the stone woman the only remaining survivor. Then, the elves found her. In the end, she was enslaved and became the gatekeeper of the elves. “Don’t blame me for your bad luck if you refuse to believe me. The humans are not to be trifled with. I’m sure you guys are no match for them,” the stone woman said vehemently. She came here with good intentions to report her findings. She wanted to claim the credit, but the other party disregarded her. The stone woman fought Philip earlier and knew exactly how strong he was. Although she was weaker than the elves, she knew that Philip could crush them easily and they would not be able to do anything about it. The elf warrior who received the message did not report the incident but returned to his station happily. He had been flirting with his female companion before they were interrupted. He had finally found a suitable female elf after so many years of being single, so he had no
Black Rabbit squeezed out a flattering smile and nodded excitedly at Philip. “Don’t worry. I’ll lie to anyone but you. I’ve decided to see you as my master and follow you from now on.” Rabbit was disgusted by Black Rabbit’s flattering look. “We’ll arrive soon. Although that woman is a bit scary, she’s nothing compared to you.” Meanwhile, the stone woman arrived at the elves’ location. Since the forest belonged to them, and coupled with the natural characteristics of a stone, she was very fast and arrived at the elves' territory before Philip and the others. The stone woman knelt at the door and stared ahead in a panic. “Are the elves around? Please come out. I need to speak to you,” the stone woman shouted at the door anxiously. An elf walked out unhappily with a weapon in hand. “Why are you making a fuss here? Do you want to die?” The elves were very arrogant and would never allow such an ugly thing to make a fuss at their door. It was not only impolite but also affect
“I know how you managed to survive, but I’m not interested in it. Don’t worry, we’re not one of those people. I won’t do anything to you.” When the stone woman collected the stones, Philip realized that the stones were connected to the woman's body. The stones felt different from ordinary stones because they had been carefully nurtured by the woman, which was quite amazing. “Leave now. Stay no longer. I’m afraid to see humans now.” The stone woman trembled and took several steps back. She entered a cave and refused to show herself again. The stone woman had done no actual harm to them, and she was truly afraid of them. Philip waved his hand and led everyone away without further ado. He was not interested in that ugly woman. Black Rabbit hugged Philip's thigh in fear along the way, feeling extremely nervous. He had thought that Philip and his people were warriors of a certain race, but they turned out to be humans. After joining the humans, he had no way of backing out. He hat
