Without waiting for Hans’ response, Fennel smiled and said, “We’re friends of Hans.” “Friends?” Rick frowned slightly before he smiled and said, “As the owner of this place, I must advise you that there’s no benefit in making friends with Hans. Why don't you be friends with me instead?” Fennel immediately chuckled and refused. “I don’t think it’s necessary. We have different paths. In the eyes of the Westerners, Easterners like us don’t seem to be worth mentioning.” Rick smiled and said, “No, I’ve always respected the Easterners and like being friends with them. To me, the East is a mysterious and ancient place. I yearn to pay a visit. If I have the opportunity, I’d love to visit the ancient countries in the east. I heard that the people there are not well fed and don’t have decent living quarters. Some even have to go through the trash for a bite to eat. Is that true?” In the first half of the sentence, everyone thought that Rick Michael was a gentleman. However, the second
Rick turned his handsome face to Fennel, his eyes flashing arrogantly as he said, “Friend, I don't think I want to get out of the way. Why don’t you crawl out from under me on your knees and I’ll forget about what you did to my friends earlier? What do you think?” After saying that, Rick looked at Georgina. He smiled very gentlemanly and said, “Of course, Miss Georgina doesn't need to do that. You’re the goddess in my heart. I hope to have dinner with you later.” Georgina immediately scowled at him and said, “Rick, I advise you not to play with fire! Otherwise, even your Michael family won’t be able to bear the wrath from the Sun Hall!” “Oh, I’m so scared!” With a faked scared expression, Rick said, “Miss Georgina, you only have two great envoys here, while I have more than a dozen men inside and the experts of the Michael family outside. I don’t think even you can escape unscathed. Also, don’t forget that the patriarch of the Michael family, my father, is also a great envoy.”
Payback was a b*tch? Obviously, Rick did not believe in this. He frowned in disbelief and stared at Philip angrily. He sneered and said, “Very well, you’re a good friend, indeed. Messing with me will only end badly! Are you sure you want to speak up on his behalf?” Philip shrugged, relaxed his eyebrows, and said with a smile, “Young Master Michael, you should understand that we Easterners have always been the most loyal. Since he’s my friend, I’ll naturally stand by his side unconditionally. Moreover, I must advise you not to think of messing with my friend because you can’t afford it!” Hahaha! Rick laughed, his handsome face full of chills. He said, “Interesting! This is the first time I've met someone who says I can't afford to mess with them! You Easterners are really interesting. Is this what you call courtesy before a fight?” Philip thought about it and said, “It’s not wrong for you to understand it that way. We have shown you due courtesy by telling you the consequenc
Philip had slapped Rick across the face vehemently! He used about 70% of his strength, which knocked a few teeth out of Rick’s mouth. It caused blood to gush! Hiss! All the onlookers watched with wide eyes and covered their mouths. Their faces were full of incredulity as they stared at Philip who had attacked first. Then, they shifted their eyes to Rick who was covering his mouth in anger. “Holy sh*t! What the hell did that stupid Easterner do?” “He actually hit Rick Michael? He must be insane!” “They’re dead for sure now! No one can ever hit someone from the Michael family in the face!” “And he’s an Easterner too. Rick will definitely kill them!” The onlookers started going crazy, screaming and talking. It was mainly because Philip’s actions were too drastic! Here, on this street, the Michael family was king. Anyone who saw the golden cobra symbol must bow their head in respect. However, these crazy Easterners actually dared to do such a thing to the young mast
Clang! Hans pulled out a dagger, threw it at Rick’s feet, and said coldly, “Go ahead and do it, then.” Rick looked at the shiny dagger at his feet and suddenly felt that he had suffered great humiliation. He immediately roared. “F*ck you! Kill them!” In an instant, this group of more than a dozen armed bodyguards from the Michael family surrounded Fennel and the others. Fennel glanced around helplessly and asked Philip next to him with a smile, “How about we have a competition to see who can take on more?” Philip found it interesting and said with a smile, “Okay.” As soon as the words left his mouth, Rick exploded in anger. What? At this time, they still had the mood to compete on who could take on more opponents? Damnable! They simply did not give a damn to the Michael family! “Fire!” Rick shouted frenziedly. At his command! Rat-tat-tat! Several bodyguards pulled the trigger while aiming at Fennel and the others! However, the two figures that stood in fro
Inside the bar, sounds of gunfire and sparks from the firearms were endless. Bottles of liquor exploded from the shots. The bar counter and booths were full of human figures being constantly knocked down and then flying out. They hit the walls, bar counter, or were sent flying through the windows. In the end, only Fennel and Philip were left standing in the bar. Hans and Georgina protected them by their side. Well, Rick Michael was left standing too. The other customers who came to the bar for fun held their heads while squatting or lying on the ground. They screamed incessantly. At this moment, Rick was dumbfounded as he looked at the bodyguards who had all fallen to the ground haphazardly. They could no longer get up. How could this be? These were the elite bodyguards of the Michael family! All of them were dead! Rick looked up and saw the two men walking toward him like Grim Reapers. “W-Who the hell are you?” Rick panicked. With such skills, they could not
As soon as Colson Michael stepped out of his car, the crowd on the streets burst into discussions. “Oh my God, it’s Colson Michael! He’s the patriarch of the Michael family.” “Why is Colson here all of a sudden?” “Look! Someone must be making trouble in the bar! These are all the elite bodyguards of the Michael family. They all have the golden cobras!” Amid the chatters, Colson walked up to the bar’s entrance. At this moment, the bar was a mess. Rick roared at Fennel and the others. “F*ck you, damn Easterners! How dare you act so arrogantly in the Michael family’s territory? I’ll definitely make you kneel and beg for mercy! Especially you two, I’ll skin you alive!” Rick was furious! He had never been so humiliated by an Easterner before! This was the greatest shame since he was born! Fennel was still indifferent. At this moment, the door of the bar was pushed open. The first to walk in were four special bodyguards in white suits with golden cobra badges on their
Meanwhile, Fennel put his hands in his pants pockets. With a faint smile, he looked at Colson with his golden cobra walking cane and said with a smile, “Colson, it’s been a long time. You look older now.” Boom! Hearing this, Colson could not stop his legs from shaking. Then, in the shocked eyes of all the Michael family’s bodyguards and Rick, Colson knelt on the ground. He slammed his head on the cold floor and shouted, “Honorable Sun God Apollo, I didn't expect you to come to my bar.” Hiss! The whole place was dead silent! One could hear a pin drop! Sun God Apollo! Holy cow! He was really the famous Sun God Apollo of the 12 Sacred Halls of the West! The mysterious Eastern man! The man who caused the entire West to tremble in its boots at the mention of his name! The Sun God! This highest honor! Apart from Zeus, he was the strongest existence on equal footing with Hades! Rick was shocked beyond words at this moment! He saw with his own eyes how his fathe
“Since that’s your request, I’ll oblige.” Philip flew up the stage and quickly landed next to the old monk. Everyone was jealous to see Philip forging a connection with the old monk. Many people at the scene recognized Philip and knew who he was. “Look, isn't that Philip? I can’t believe that the old monk is so interested in Philip. It seems that we can’t take Philip lightly.” “I always thought Philip was a loser, but maybe I’m mistaken.” “He’s on very good terms with the Celestial Palace. Why would you think he was a loser?” Everyone discussed this topic with great interest. Carlos was quite close to Philip, so he felt proud to hear those comments. He knew that everyone was just jealous of Philip. The old monk stretched out his hand and invited Philip to go to his room. Philip nodded at his indication. “You look like a newcomer. Sure enough, the younger generation is taking over the world. For someone at your age to reach this level, you’re certainly a force to be
No one had ever seen the old monk, so they did not know what he was like. Philip and his party soon arrived at Zenith, which looked very grand just like a palace. The large arena in the middle was crowded with people. Everyone was looking at the stage, waiting to pay homage to this legendary old monk. Some people had seen the old monk and heard his lecture in the past. They felt that they had benefited from it, so they arrived early this time to grab a good spot. Others had never seen the old monk, but they knew they would benefit from his lecture about practice. Philip and Carlos squeezed into the middle of the crowd and found seats. Philip was very curious about the old monk and could not wait to see him. Soon, the old monk appeared in front of everyone. He looked very impressive. Seeing his attire, Philip felt that this old man was definitely not an ordinary person. His clothes were very expensive, not something anyone could afford. It was not only in reference to the pr
Rabbit was attacked by the spell before he could react. He stood on the spot blankly, wondering what was going on. Rabbit tried to move when he felt that something was wrong with him. He seemed to have lost control of his body and could not move. “You have no say in this matter. Since you left with me, it means that you've agreed to follow me.” The hooded man was calm. He did not think that Rabbit could escape his clutches easily. After all, the piece of yellow paper was not an ordinary item. He had gone to great lengths to get it. He could control the rabbit’s mind and body fearlessly with that piece of yellow paper. Over time, the rabbit would eventually become his puppet. The hooded man was very excited to think that he would have a powerful helper. Rabbit lost his senses and had no idea what happened. Subconsciously, Rabbit wanted to resist, but he could not for some reason. He could only stand and wait for orders. “Hey, bring me a glass of water,” the hooded man said
“I sense a familiar vibe from you. Where are you from?” Rabbit asked curiously. He had a feeling that this man did not belong to this world. He felt familiar. The man stared at Rabbit while thinking about how to take it away. “I have many secrets. Do you want to know more? Come with me, then. I can give you a good life and help you quickly level up. You can become the best rabbit in existence and stand at the top of this world!” Rabbit hopped over and nodded excitedly. He knew that this person was mysterious and weird, so he wanted to find out more. The hooded man was shocked that this rabbit was dumb enough to leave with him. However, he did not reveal his smugness and just held the rabbit in his arms devoutly. He never thought that he could have such a powerful pet. Thinking of this, he decided to do something to make this rabbit his own. This rabbit had developed intelligence, so it would not agree to become his pet so easily. Rabbit was just leaving with him, but being
The hooded man was very interested in Rabbit and wanted to make contact with him to find out more about him. He quickly found Philip’s house and was surprised to find that it was surrounded by a barrier that blocked all his perceptions, which made him conflicted. It was not a place he could enter at will. He felt some energy fluctuations from formations too. If he was not mistaken, entering this place would be dangerous for him. After much deliberation, he turned around and left without staying any longer. His visit here was enough to verify his guess. Since Philip could come up with such a powerful formation and barrier, he was certainly a force to be reckoned with. At the very least, Philip was not someone he could deal with so easily. As for Rabbit, the hooded man was not bothered by him at all. He just wanted to know how Philip subdued such a powerful pet. The hooded man had dealt with many monster beasts in the past but failed to subdue any. He had even suffered badly un
“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
