Back to Philip’s side. Not long after he and Fennel arrived, a waft of fragrance came from behind them. Then, a pair of soft arms covered his eyes from behind as a sweet voice said, “Guess who?” Philip was a little exasperated and helpless. He blurted out almost without any emotion, “Vivi Joo, how old are you that you’re still playing such childish games?” Hmph! With a cold snort, Vivi released her hands. She crossed her arms with a pout, glared at Philip unhappily, and said, “Philip, you’ve been out for so long but you didn't tell me. You made me look around everywhere for someone to contact the SPEAR Bureau.” Philip turned around and looked at Vivi. Tonight, she wore a long red dress with white butterfly crystal shoes on her feet. With her curvaceous figure and long wavy brown hair that fell like a waterfall, she looked very classy and elegant. With her exquisite and delicate features, she looked like a fairy even with light makeup. Not to mention, she had the natural
“An aristocrat! He’s from the Smith family of Country Y. He’s an undeniable aristocrat!” Hearing the discussions, Philip and Fennel also understood the identity and status of the newcomers. He was an aristocrat from Country Y, and he was a viscount at such a young age. It was quite interesting. Steven seemed to enjoy the admiration and envy of the people around him. He raised his chin arrogantly, looked at Philip and Fennel, and introduced, “Gentlemen, the one next to me is Commander Warwick, the person in charge of Port Sendona with a naval battle group under his command. He’s also eager to meet the two of you.” Warwick nodded with a smile, but his lecherous gaze kept falling on Vivi at Philip’s side. It revealed his undisguised admiration for her. He ignored Philip and Fennel but bowed slightly toward Vivi instead. He said, “My lady, I wonder if I may invite you for a dance.” Steven did not expect Warwick to be so direct, disrupting his following plans. However, his min
Steven said helplessly, “Commander Warwick, please calm down. Let me talk to them.” “No! I don't need you to talk to them. Today, I want this Eastern woman to dance with me!” Warwick roared and completely abandoned his fake pretense. He turned to Philip and said with a sneer, “As for you, damned Easterner, you must apologize to me for what you did just now! I want you on your knees! Otherwise, my battleship parked in Port Sendona will blast you into pieces!” Faced with Warwick's arrogance, Philip shook his head helplessly and said, “Your name is Warwick?” Warwick snorted coldly and poked Philip's chest with his finger. His tall figure was half a head taller than Philip. He said smugly, “Boy! You should call me Commander Warwick!” Philip looked down at Warwick’s finger poking his chest and said coldly, “Get your dirty hands away from me.” Hearing this, Warwick laughed and looked at the people around him. He said, “Listen, this damned Easterner actually wants me to take my ha
As soon as Philip finished speaking, Warwick yelled, “Just wait, you lowly Easterner! I'll make sure you die a horrible death!” After saying that, Warwick was taken away to have his injuries treated. The onlookers looked at Philip and his gang, feeling a little afraid. It was the first time they saw such an arrogant Easterner. Messing with Warwick meant certain death. Philip took Vivi and turned to leave. Steven came up immediately and said with a smile, “Mr. Clarke, young lady, I'm sorry. I didn't expect Warwick to act like this. I hope it won’t affect our discussion.” Philip looked at Steven and asked, “Do we know each other?” Philip’s question caused Steven’s next words to get stuck in his throat. Damn it! This young Easterner was too arrogant! He was the young master of the Smith family of Country Y. He was a nobleman, a viscount, and a dazzling presence everywhere he went! If not for his father’s orders, Steven would not be here in search of opportunities.
A group of fully armed guards in combat uniforms rushed into the hall of the manor at this moment, and the frightened guests scattered in all directions. All the guards had epaulets on their shoulders. At a glance, it was obvious they had gone through formal training! As soon as they appeared, everyone broke out into discussions. “Oh my, those are the guards on duty at Port Sendona! They’re Warwick’s people!” “Whoa! Now, that stupid Easterner will have to pay the price!” “Hehe, he messed with Commander Warwick and even injured him. Even if he’s executed, nothing will happen.” The foreigners around scorned with all their might, full of gloating hostility toward Philip and the others. Philip merely glanced around briefly with a slight chill in his eyes. Wherever he went, he was bound to encounter annoying guys. Warwick seemed like he was not going to let Philip off. At this moment, Warwick stepped forward while flanked by two guards in combat uniforms. He walked up to
“Haha, look. The face of that Easterner has turned pale. He’s probably pissing his pants in fright right now.” “Commander Warwick, teach him a lesson. Make him kneel on the floor and bark like a dog!” Warwick tilted his head and seemed to have thought of something interesting. He sneered at Philip and said, “I think what he said is very interesting. As long as you kneel and bark like a dog, I may consider letting you go. Easterners like you should be the best at barking. Hahaha!” Warwick laughed arrogantly, his expression and words full of sarcasm. On the side, Steven almost died of anger at this scene! This damned Warwick had no idea who the Easterner standing in front of him was and how terrifying he was! Steven rushed out and tried to be the peacemaker. “Warwick, don’t make a big deal out of this. Why don't I be the host and invite the two of you for dinner to resolve today's misunderstanding? On my account, Warwick, you should be generous as a Westerner.” “F*ck! Steve
Hearing the guard’s report, Warwick’s expression became flustered as he asked, “What’s happening? F*ck!” The tall guard was also flustered and said, “Commander Warwick, our battleship has been seized!” His previous report and this sentence were not loud, but everyone heard them! “Oh my God! What happened? Warwick's battleship was seized?” “This is Sendona. Who dares to attack Commander Warwick’s battleship?” “Did that Easterner do it? How is it possible? That’s a naval battle group.” The crowd chattered, full of disbelief and astonishment! Warwick was also stunned, his face full of disbelief and anger! Just ten minutes ago, Port Sendona was shrouded in darkness. Four battleships were anchored and fully loaded with combatants. All weapon systems were also in combat mode. That was because a few minutes ago, they received an order from the captain of this naval battle group. Commander Warwick had ordered them to enter combat mode. All weapon systems were locked on Kest
Instantly, the sirens on the battleships blared! The battleships were filled with rapid gunshots, and the scene was ablaze! However, in just five minutes, the foreign guards of the four battleships were all subdued! On one of the battleships, a man wearing a combat uniform with a weapon strapped over his chest took off his helmet. He revealed a handsome face with a smile on the corner of his mouth. It was none other than Tyler Wood who fought with Philip the other day! At this moment, he dialed the satellite phone of his boss, Hans. He said, “Hans, these people are too weak. The job is done.” Hans was just outside Kestor Manor, leading dozens of combatants from the Hall of the Sun to surround the entire manor! In front of them, seven or eight of Warwick's men were in a panic at this moment. Hans smiled and waved his hand. The people behind him rushed up and took these people down! After that, Hans adjusted his clothes and carried a machine gun on his shoulder. He was
“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
