Leon’s words had fully expressed his opinion. No matter who the young man in front of him was, he would bear the brunt. Firstly, it was for the dignity of Cherry Villa. Secondly, it was to cherish the young talent. It had been a long time since there was such a young and powerful disciple in the southern supernatural community. Such a person could only be the guest of honor sought after by major families. Leon knew very well what the young man in front of him meant to the disciples in the southern world. There were three kings in the north but only one king in the south. Now, the young man in front of him had the strength of a disciple in the fifth zone. Leon decided to have him join Cherry Villa. “May I have your name?” Leon asked with a kind smile that formed a stark contrast with his stern angular face. The onlookers were amazed at this moment. They could naturally tell that Leon was showing goodwill to that young man. Yes, at such a young age, he had the abili
The sky was about to fall! That was the Singer family, one of the ten great disciple families in the north! They were one of the three masters of Terrain Villa! There was also a king of disciples in the Singer family! The Singer family was one of the top three existences in the northern disciple community! An absolute behemoth! This time, Ronan Singer and Mr. Burdock were killed in Cherry Villa. This must be a magnitude-10 earthquake! The entire northern community would be shaken! Not to mention the Singer family! “M-Mr. Moon, Young Master Ronan Singer has been killed!” Cory Trent stammered with cold sweat on his forehead. It was because he could clearly feel the anger and chill from the other end of the phone! “Who did it? What’s wrong with Cherry Villa? Are they trying to turn on the north?” Mr. Moon was in a rage, his heart full of anger and fear! His anger was toward Cherry Villa. His fear was of the Singer family. “Mr. Moon, this matter has nothing
After being called to gather in the middle of the night, feelings of resentment were inevitable. Quentin Moon wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, stood humbly in the hall, and lowered his head. He panted and stammered, “Villa Masters Hopper, Singer, and Turner, something has happened.” “Just spit it out already!” Villa Master Hopper, the middle-aged man with an unhappy expression, was wearing a black suit and fidgeting with two stress balls in his hand. He had an imposing demeanor, a ruddy complexion, and exuded a harsh intensity. Quentin glanced at Villa Master Hopper before his gaze landed on the person on his right. This was the current patriarch of the Singer family, one of the top ten disciple families in the north, Jenkins Singer! He was also one of the founding families of Terrain Villa and one of the three villa masters. His face was dignified as he sat upright. He wore a gray suit, and his hair was gray. He had a pair of deep-set eyes that looked very chao
After that, the atmosphere in the main hall plummeted to freezing point. It seemed that any movement would cause a catastrophic ending. Jenkins stood on the high platform, his eyes were full of anger. He clenched his fists and asked, “Did the people of Cherry Villa just watch my son get killed by an unknown junior?” Quentin quickly bowed and replied, “Villa Master Singer, Villa Master Leon Jefferson of Cherry Villa stepped in later. If I understood Cory Trent correctly, Leon wishes to protect the young man named Philip Clarke.” “Leon Jefferson? How dare he?!” Jenkins roared and shouted, “Immediately gather all the experts of the Singer family and go with me to Cherry Villa. I want to see who Leon Jefferson dares to protect in front of me! After killing my beloved son, no matter who the other party is, I’ll kill him with my bare hands!” As he said that, Jenkins clenched his fists tightly. Below the hall, a guard from the Singer family bowed in response and immediately walk
Back to Philip’s side. He followed Leon Jefferson through the lobby and passed through several doors before entering the core area of Cherry Villa. He saw a clear lake with a white arch bridge over it. On both sides of the lake, fully armed guards strictly kept watch. They were equipped with weapons specially targeted at disciples. These guards would be able to tackle any disciples of the fourth zone and below. A magnificent white castle stood across the lake and arch bridge. A sense of solemnity could be felt from the castle even from across the lake. In front, Leon invited Philip, “Philip, please come with me.” Philip glanced at the surrounding environment. The security measures in this place were quite impeccable. “Thank you.” Philip said politely and followed Leon to the arch bridge. They made their way to the white castle. When Philip got closer to the white castle, he realized that there was a special energy pressure around it that constantly suppressed the p
Everyone eagerly waited for Philip’s next words but after a long while, Philip said nothing. This made some people unhappy, and they said coldly, “Villa Master Jefferson, this young Philip seems very arrogant and only said his name. Does he look down on us?” “Hehe, Villa Master Jefferson, we have no objections if you bring newcomers in, but such a newcomer is too ignorant of the rules!” “Are you done talking?” Suddenly, Philip spoke and interrupted everyone’s reprimand that stemmed from their dissatisfaction with him. Hiss! Everyone’s faces tensed with anger. Smack! A middle-aged man slammed the table, stood up suddenly, pointed at Philip, and said angrily, “Presumptuous! This is Cherry Villa and the conference for the southern disciple families. How dare an unruly kid like you be so rude to the elders? Didn't the adults in your family teach you any manners and etiquette?” “Exactly! Even if you were personally brought here by Villa Master Jefferson, you should mind t
The middle-aged man was extremely furious. This was the first time someone dared to say such arrogant words to him here! He was told to get lost? Hehe, ridiculous! Everyone else crossed their arms indifferently, waiting to watch the excitement. After the middle-aged man scolded, he pointed at Philip and said sharply, “Junior! You’re simply too audacious. Now, I want you to kneel and apologize!” However, Philip shook his head and repeated with a sneer, “You said just now that those who get to sit here are judged by their strength. I think I’m stronger than you, so shouldn’t you get lost?” “Hahaha!” That middle-aged man laughed uproariously, but a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes. He said, “You think you’re stronger than me? How dare a young brat like you brag like that? Very well, then. Let me show you my strength!” Bang! After that, the middle-aged man slammed the table, jumped into the air, and threw a punch at Philip’s stomach! He did not hold back at all with
Philip looked at everyone coldly and imposingly. Following his scrutiny, no one dared to raise any objection. Leon clapped his hands at this moment, stood up with a smile, and said to the subordinates behind him, “Men, bring Patriarch West to treat his injuries.” Then, he walked to Philip's side, patted him on the shoulder, and addressed the crowd, “Everyone, this is the new member of Cherry Villa. Please welcome him!” After saying that, Leon clapped heartily while sparse applause was heard from the crowd. However, Philip said, “Villa Master Jefferson, I didn’t agree to join Cherry Villa. I’m here to look for someone.” Leon smiled and said, “Philip, don’t worry. The Miss Johnston you’re looking for should have already gone back.” “Gone back? With whom?” Philip was anxious and frowned. Sure enough, Wynn had gone back. Leon motioned for everyone to continue the conference before he walked out of the main hall with Philip and said, “Philip, the person who brought Miss
“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
