Swoosh! Instantly, the entire hall fell silent! This was too exciting! Steven actually expressed his love for Alice Elizabeth in public and in front of Louis XXVI! At this scene, many people even took out their mobile phones and recorded this explosive event! They then posted it on their respective online social platforms and groups. In no time, the internet was full of news about Steven! [Explosive news! Lapdog Steven boldly proposes to Princess Alice! Louis XXVI too angry for words!] At first glance, this headline was the handiwork of an Eastern editor! At the scene, many men and women covered their mouths and looked at Steven with wide eyes. Although they did not understand why Steven called himself a lapdog just now, it sounded like a compliment. At this moment, Alice also looked at Steven in disbelief, her big twinkling eyes full of excitement. Louis XXVI exploded with anger. He grabbed Steven's collar and snarled. “F*ck you, Steven. Do you know what you’re t
Hannah Clarke?! The moment the young woman entered, Philip saw Hannah’s shadow on her. However, the other party wore a veil over her face that masked her true appearance! At this moment, Philip’s sudden action also attracted everyone’s attention. “What’s the matter? What does this Easterner want to do? Is he going to express his love for this lady like Steven?” “It’s a little odd. I seem to have seen that Eastern man somewhere before.” “Look, Steven is sitting with them. And Steven was the one who brought them in just now. What’s their relationship with the Smith family?” A group of people whispered. Even Louis XXVI, who was sitting and explaining something to Alice Elizabeth, was attracted by Philip’s actions. His dark blue eyes flashed suspiciously and coldly as he stared at Philip. Then, he glanced at Steven at Philip’s side and gritted his teeth in resentment. The Queen's youngest princess, Alice, naturally also looked at Philip. However, her gaze did not linge
Vivi’s voice came from behind. “Philip, what’s wrong?” Philip reined in his emotions but could not calm down. He took a deep breath, and his gaze fell on the veiled woman for a brief moment. It was a very strange feeling! There was clearly Hannah’s shadow on this woman, but the other party’s eyes just now seemed as though she was seeing him for the first time. Her gaze was full of doubts and even a hint of panic. Even now when she saw Philip staring at her, the woman who looked like a young girl would turn her head away shyly. She would only peek at Philip from time to time with her big eyes. She looked like a young girl who had just entered society and felt curious about everything. Philip sat down again, feeling a little irate. Fennel asked, “So, is it her?” Philip could not be sure. He shook his head before nodding again. “I don't know. I can see the shadow of my sister in her, but her eyes tell me that she doesn’t know me. It shouldn't be like this. What went wrong
Hearing the woman's words, Philip’s face darkened as his eyes wandered between Susan and the woman for a moment. Then, he bowed slightly and said, “Excuse me.” After that, Philip turned around and returned to his seat. Fennel and the others also sat down. “Steven, didn't you say that your Smith family has information about that organization? Do you know those two?” Philip thought for a moment and asked. Steven smiled, shook his head, and said, “Mr. Clarke, it’s the Smith family that knows some information about that organization, not me. I don't know much about them. Most of the information is with my father. I don't know the two of them. However, as you can see, those eight guards are not simple characters. The armor they’re wearing costs at least three million per set! It should be the most advanced and powerful set of armor at present with very good defense.” Philip was not very interested in Steven’s explanation of insignificant things. His eyes lingered on Susan an
As Vic’s enthusiastic voice rang out, the audience burst into discussions. “Oh my God! It’s the essence of life no. 4 that can slow down the aging process for 15 years!” “The Marcus family must get our hands on this thing!” “Immediately notify the family. No matter how much money or what resources are needed, we must get this essence of life no. 4!” For a while, everyone’s faces were full of confidence as they were determined to get this essence of life no. 4. Only Philip’s party looked a little disengaged. The essence of life no. 4? Philip was a little confused. If he remembered correctly, the highest grade essence of life in the Nonagon was level three, so why was there a no. 4 here? Could it be that the organization behind the other party had gone a step further than the Nonagon? With that thought in mind, Philip turned to Fennel, who shook his head and said softly, “This thing isn’t worth believing. The research on the essence of life in our country has only reach
Hearing this second request, the expressions on Philip and the others changed rapidly! Moses also frowned and glanced at Vic before he turned to Philip and Fennel. He said in a low voice, “Is he trying to infiltrate our country and gain a few puppets?” Philip’s eyes were cold as he frowned and said, “Don't say anything yet. Let's see what happens next.” If it was really as Moses said, Philip would definitely take action and get this essence of life no. 4. At the same time, he would find out who the boss behind Vic was. Anyone who dared to harbor any intentions toward Cochly Mountain must be destroyed! Everyone in the inner hall fell into silence after Vic’s words. They spoke quietly among themselves. Among them, Louis XXVI and Alice Elizabeth also spoke to each other, determined to get the essence of life no. 4. Louis XXVI was the first to raise his hand and said, “Vic, I want to get this essence of life no. 4 to present it to the Queen on her birthday. In that case, ar
As for Philip’s side, it was very quiet and no one got involved. Several times, Steven had wanted to raise his hand, but seeing the reaction from Philip and the others, he finally gave up. “Mr. Clarke, aren’t you going to fight for it?” Steven smiled and asked tentatively. Philip shook his head and said, “An unstable product is of no use to me. I just want to know who the boss behind this transaction is. Steven, you should have information about him, right?” Upon hearing this, Steven smiled, nodded slightly, and said, “You’re right, Mr. Clarke. I do have information about this boss. Do you want to trade for it?” Philip narrowed his eyes and looked at Steven with some oppression. Steven felt the oppressive aura from Philip and laughed a little uncomfortably. He said, “Haha, Mr. Clarke, don’t look at me like that. We’re good friends, aren't we? In that case, I’ll make the decision and give you this information for free.” Hearing that, Philip said flatly, “If it's of value,
Hearing this sudden voice, Vic pushed his glasses up his nose bridge as a faint smile appeared in the corner of his eyes. He looked at Philip. Not only him, but all the foreigners in the hall also focused their attention on Philip and his gang. It was this Eastern man again. What did he mean by asking this question? Vic smiled and said, “Sir, do you have doubts about our essence of life no. 4?” Philip's eyes drooped slightly as he said, “As far as I know, the research on the essence of life is currently at no. 3. Product no. 4 is still unstable. By trading the test product no. 4 in such a hurry, isn’t it a little too irresponsible?” Vic said sternly, “Sir, the essence of life no. 4 has been developed successfully. This is an internal secret not made known to the public, so we don’t blame you for doubting it. However, I can tell you with certainty that the essence of life no. 4 has been certified by our relevant institutions and can be guaranteed.” “What guarantee? Since i
“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
