Roger walked in, looking much better. His complexion was rosier, but he was thinner. Philip looked up with an aloof expression and asked, “Are you feeling better?” Roger smiled kindly, glanced at his son, and said, “Much better. It's the first time you’re showing concern for me.” Philip frowned and said stubbornly, “You think too much. I don't care about you.” Seeing this, Fennel shook his head helplessly. He bowed slightly to Roger and said, “Patriarch Clarke, are you sure you want to do this?” Roger walked over, looked at Fennel with admiration, and said, “I’m sure. The Lovelace family's affairs are the Clarke family's affairs. The affairs of the Lovelace family are related to the future direction of the world. Time is running out for us, and I want to find out what the Lovelace family has been up to over the years. I also hope to see some old friends whom I haven't seen for a long time.” Fennel frowned and asked, “I thought you didn’t know much about the Lovelace family
Philip frowned, looked at Roger, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and said, “Then I’ll become stronger. Sooner or later, I’ll get rid of the Lovelace family! Not for the sake of your great righteousness but for Wynn’s sake!” Roger smiled and said, “You’re quite devoted.” Philip glanced at Roger. The latter thought for a moment and said, “I already know what happened to Wynn. In fact, this matter has little to do with the Lovelace family. It was Wynn’s decision. If she wants to understand the Lovelace family, become a part of them, or even get her hands on them, she must forget everything from the past and completely integrate into the Lovelace family. When you left the country to come here, Wynn once approached me to discuss this matter. This is what she left behind for you.” With that said, Roger took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Philip. He got up, patted Philip on the shoulder, and said, “Read it carefully. Besides your mother and me, Wynn is definitely th
With Roger’s consent, Georgina spread the news about Roger’s injury to the Lovelace family’s servant. Sure enough, the Lovelace family was very concerned about this news and immediately dispatched many computer experts to track the source of this news as well as Georgina's IP address. “They've taken the bait!” Georgina shouted excitedly. Philip and Fennel stood by Georgina's side, closely watching this war of information technology without gunpowder. “How long will it take to determine their location?” Philip asked. Georgina thought for a moment and replied, “At the current speed, half an hour will do. Likewise, if we can't hang on for half an hour on our side, our position will be exposed.” The look on Georgina's face became obviously grave. Although it was not the first time she had done this, the previous servers were rubbish. She could do it in five minutes. Even for the most powerful server in the Octagon, Georgina only spent 25 minutes getting in. This time, it
The hot and sexy goddess Athena walked out of her swimming pool in her bikini, which revealed her perfect body. She shook off the water droplets in her hair, took the lace robe handed by the maid, and draped it over her graceful body. Then, she lay on the beach chair and took a sip of whisky. A guard walked over at this moment, bowed, and said, “Lord Athena, something has happened to the Hall of the Sun.” Hearing this, Athena sat up abruptly, turned her head to look at the female guard, and asked, “Apollo?” “Yes, Lord Athena. According to the information we received, the Hall of the Sun has entered a state of defense. All their bases are closed to prepare for battle. I think they must be in big trouble,” the guard replied. Athena got up, exposing her pair of straight long legs that countless women envied and a proud figure. She walked out of the open-air swimming pool and said coldly, “Prepare my battle suit. I’m going to the Hall of the Sun!” Soon, Athena put on her platin
Hearing this, Fennel was obviously exasperated and said, “Ares, do we have to fight today?” Ares said coldly, “Yes, today. I have to go to Northfrost and may be away for a few months. Before that, I must fight with you.” Fennel’s face darkened as he asked, “Northfrost? Is he coming out?” After saying this, Athena and Hephaestus both looked at Ares with a flash of worry in the corners of their eyes. They asked, “Ares, is your father coming back?” Ares nodded with gloom in his eyes and said, “His punishment is almost over and he’ll return. This time, I’m going to Northfrost to pick my father up. When the time comes, the fallen Hall of the Dragon King will make a comeback, which will pose a huge threat to the 12 Sacred Halls of the West and the sacred city. However, he’s my father, after all. I’ll choose to follow him.” There was silence. Time was at a standstill in the hall for a moment. Ares' father was the dragon king who once ruled the Western underworld for 20 years—the
Fennel wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at Ares, who was also gasping for breath and injured. He said with a smile, “As expected of War God Ares. Such combat power is very strong.” Ares looked at Fennel coldly, took a deep breath, and said, “Apollo, you’re stronger than I thought. You’re the second person I admire in my life. The first is my father, and you’re the second.” Fennel raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, “Then I should be very proud.” Ares laughed, his soaring fighting intent exploding once more. The next second, he yelled, “Again!” Boom! In an instant, the two fought again. A shocking energy pressure and the power of rules erupted! The training ground was reduced to rubble! Athena stood in the distance and used her field of kingship to shield the energy dispersed by the two’s battle. At the same time, she shouted, “That's enough! Ares, stop it! Apollo, stop fighting!” However, once two men were in battle mode, they could not sto
Mystic City in the Northwest? Philip trembled when he heard this name. He looked at Fennel in bafflement and asked, “What is this place? In today’s information technology age, are there still places that are not displayed on maps or known to the world?” Fennel shook his head, his face getting more serious by the minute. He said, “You misunderstood. It’s not that this place is not known to the world, but that the people who know this place are not ordinary people of the secular world. The reason it’s not shown on the map or marked out is due to human doings. To a certain extent, every country has places that they don’t want outsiders to know about. Take this place, for instance. It’s divided into many districts with many bases for secret research, which are confidential and not marked on the map.” Philip nodded and more or less understood Fennel’s meaning. He continued to ask, “Then what exactly is this Mystic City of the Northwest?” Fennel sighed and said, “I don't really know
Fennel looked at Georgina, who had her head lowered. Her face was a little haggard. He said, “Georgina, it's not your fault. Don't worry. We’ll take care of the rest. You should rest.” After saying that, Fennel gently patted Georgina on her shoulder and ordered a subordinate to bring Georgina back to rest. At this time, Athena and Hephaestus walked over from the side where they had been watching. With doubts and worries on their faces, they asked, “Who has locked your position?” Fennel looked at Athena without any intention to hide it and said, “The Lovelace family.” “The Lovelace family?” Hearing this name, Athena was taken aback. She frowned and said, “How did you mess with them?” Philip said, “It’s because of me.” Athena still wanted to ask when Fennel said, “Stop asking. It’s better if you don’t know some things. Now that the Lovelace family has locked our position, we need to keep an eye on their actions. I think they’ll launch an attack on the Hall of the Sun.” At
The cynocephaly tried to beg Philip but to no avail, so he had to give up in the end. Brett returned to the cellar at this time. He wanted to pretend to have a good relationship with Philip and take something from him so that he could control the minotaur. Brett felt a gust of wind blowing over him when he arrived at the cellar. He opened the cellar door and looked around in confusion but did not see anything. “That’s strange. What’s that feeling just now?” Brett scratched his head in puzzlement. Although he could not figure it out, he was not bothered. The cellar was not well-ventilated, so it was normal for there to be a gust of wind when the door was opened. He had nothing to worry about. The pitiful prisoners ran out in a panic in their invisible mode. They were worried that they would be discovered, but they quickly realized that no one could see them. Philip's pills were too amazing for words. Everyone etched Philip’s name in their hearts and saw him as their hero
The cynocephaly did not notice any strange reaction on Philip’s face. After much deliberation, he decided to go for it. He had to find a way to leave this hellhole with Philip at all costs! “Hey, I can see you have extraordinary talents. You must be a powerful person. In that case, why don’t you take us away?” the cynocephaly said with a smile, and everyone around him glanced at him in disdain. They knew how disgusting the cynocephaly was. It was obvious that he wanted to take this opportunity to please Philip. Everyone hated the cynocephaly because he always caused trouble. Since everyone was a pitiful prisoner, no one could be bothered about him, but they were angry at his actions now. “Cynocephaly, you’re so shameless. I think you should be turned into a human puppet!” “I’ve never seen such a shameless guy like you in my life!” Everyone reprimanded the cynocephaly, feeling disgusted by him from the bottom of their hearts. “Buddy, don’t listen to them. I never said anyt
“Don’t worry, everything will be fine now that I’m here! With my help, you can surely survive in this place!” Brett kept promising the minotaur excitedly, wishing he could take the minotaur under his wing immediately. “Hold on, let me inform my family head about this!” Brett planned to attack the minotaur at first, but hearing that he had his family with him, Brett wanted everyone instead. “Okay, I’ll wait.” The minotaur sat aside and waited for Brett. The plan was going well so far. The minotaur suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment. He never thought that he would trick someone one day. In the past, they never interacted with others because they could not outwit them. Meanwhile, Brett headed to his father’s room to inform him about this matter in detail. He knew that this matter would definitely cause a sensation. The minotaurs were a precious commodity to them. “Now that I have the minotaur under control, we just need to ask him to summon his people here, and everything
It was a win-win situation for Brett. Everyone else was exasperated by the Spade family’s plan. Everyone thought that being turned into a puppet was terrible enough, but the Spade family had plans to put them to work on top of that. “Wow, this herb is really good, but you just entered the secular world, so you must be uncomfortable. I have some good things for you. Why don’t we take a look in private?” Brett was very hospitable and acted like a great guy. Everyone looked at him thoughtfully. Brett was obviously up to something. “I don’t mind visiting, but you need to make ample arrangements. Philip has promised to prepare a lot of herbs for us. Although he hasn't fulfilled his promise yet, I believe he can do it,” the minotaur said meaningfully. Brett smiled excitedly at the minotaur’s dumb reaction. “No problem, I’ll make arrangements right away!” Aslan did not get involved. He knew that he had to give them some time. “Will you come with me?” Brett invited the minotaur e
Brett knocked on the door, which a minotaur opened. Brett was excited at the sight of the minotaur. Sure enough, Maven was telling the truth. There really was a minotaur! “Wonderful!” Brett blurted. The minotaur was puzzled. Why would anyone say that at first sight? Was this person a lunatic? “What are you doing? Are you looking for Philip?” This minotaur was none other than the leader. He knew about the plan and fully supported it. He was angry to find out that Brett was a vain and scheming guy. “I'm here to look for Philip. It’s okay if he's not around. Let me go in and wait for him. I have an appointment with him. He should be back soon.” Brett quickly stepped in through the door as if he would not take no for an answer. The minotaur did not stop Brett. It was part of the plan anyway. “Hehe, just hang around and wait until Philip returns then.” With that, the minotaur turned around and left. He knew that Brett was here for him. “Don't leave. It’s my first time seeing
Maven decided to tell Brett about the minotaurs. “Brett?” Maven went looking for Brett as if she had something important to say. Hearing that, Brett walked over, wondering what Maven had to say. “I almost forgot something important. I saw a minotaur when I took Philip away earlier. “It seems that the minotaur brought his family over and planned to join Philip. What do you think we should do?” Brett was excited by Maven’s news. He never dreamed that he would hear about minotaurs. As someone who grew up among the major families, he knew what minotaurs meant. “If they're really minotaurs, that'd be great!” Brett exclaimed in delight. He invited Maven into his room to discuss it. If she was telling the truth, he had to get hold of the minotaurs. “Are you sure you’re not mistaken? The minotaurs have always been cooped up in their small territory and unwilling to venture out. What made them change their minds?” Maven shrugged in response. “I didn’t have time to ask about it
Brett patted his chest in assurance and displayed his concern for Maven. After taking care of things, Maven turned and left without another word as if she had lost interest in this matter. Brett was surprised to see Maven leaving so decisively. He was glad at her compliance and the fact that she showed no interest in what they were going to do. “Since you have no interest in competing for the position of the head of the family, I don’t have to keep an eye on you anymore, and we can still work together,” Brett muttered under his breath. It would be perfect if he could develop Maven into one of his own. His path to dominating the world would become smoother with such a powerful person helping him. After Maven left, she returned to her room without any intention of interfering. It was a step in one of their plans to fool the other party into thinking that she had nothing to ask for so that they would drop their guard. In the meantime, Philip stood on the spot in a trance. Br
Hercules knew that minotaurs were very strong and loyal. More importantly, they would not enter the secular world for no reason. They were a mysterious existence, indeed. It would be great to turn them into human puppets. Hercules had developed his own thoughts. He was no longer the mindless puppet he used to be. However, since human puppets could only remain loyal, he could not do anything except serve the Spade family wholeheartedly. Philip noticed Hercules’ reaction. He had been paying attention to him since he knew that Hercules was a human puppet. Similarly, he had to put on an act with Maven if he wanted to get rid of the Spade family. “You've made the right choice.” Philip smiled and asked Aslan to take care of them while he and Maven went to the Spade family. Brett was getting impatient by now. He knew that Maven was very good at deceiving others, so it was strange that she could not get it done quickly. He never dreamed that Maven had reached an agreement with
The minotaur quickly took his leave and returned home. Philip shook his head helplessly at his hasty departure. “That minotaur really has a one-track mind, but he’s quite simple. Maybe the minotaurs will be good teammates.” Philip wanted to take these good people under his wing. Black Rabbit ate the remaining spiritual herbs happily. Philip had never given him such good things to eat before. He always lived on pills. He had fallen in love with these spiritual herbs. His strength would definitely improve by leaps and bounds if he could live on them. Rabbit knew where the herbs came from, so he looked at Black Rabbit in disdain. “You’re such a disgrace.” He had seen these herbs in the Verge Tower space but had never taken any notice of them. Although spiritual herbs were valuable, Philip’s pills were better. He could get more premium herbs for a few pills. Black Rabbit ignored him. He preferred the herbs.… The minotaur returned home. He wanted to share the herbs with hi
