At the sight of this small alien creature, everyone in the room was dumbfounded! The eyes of the female researchers shone brightly as they stared at the little creature that had poked its head out from the cracked meteorite. They clenched their fists, blinked their large eyes, and exclaimed in excitement, “Wow, this little guy is so cute! I really want to hold it.” Fennel and Marquis Ron were also stunned. The little creature kept looking around at the outside world with its pale golden eyes. Then, it jumped out lightly from the broken shell, all shrouded in a golden glow. It was just like a pale golden lamb but with two red antlers on its head. Other than that, its four hooves were also bright red as if it were stepping on magma. It just stood on the laboratory table, staring at everyone and chirping. Fennel came back to his senses and said gravely, “Oh no! This is a royal monster! A monster born as royalty must be killed at once!” From the color and horns of that creatu
“What? Keep it? Are you crazy? That’s a creature from the other shore, a brutal monster! Countless human warriors have died under their fangs and become their food! No way, we must kill it immediately!” Fennel’s attitude was very tough and unrelenting. However, Philip smiled and said, “I’ll bear the responsibility if anything happens. I’m keeping it because I can feel the trust it has in me. Moreover, I can find out more about the door and the world of the other shore through it.” Fennel frowned. Philip was right. The Black Dragon Heart that was previously guarded by the royal monsters had been absorbed by Philip. Since the royal monster had displayed its dependence and trust in Philip, it might be a way for humans to understand the world of the other shore through it. However, this approach was too risky because there was no evidence that the monster was 100% submissive to the Black Dragon Heart. What if it was an act put up by this little creature? Maybe it also wanted
Mila had been taken away? Philip jolted and asked, “Mom, what happened? Isn’t Mila under close watch?” On the other end of the phone, Martha was very anxious. She sobbed and said, “It's all my fault. I was careless. Mila said she wanted to go out to play, so I took her out. I didn't let your people follow us. I just turned around to chat with my friends and Mila was gone. Oh, but they left a letter for you.” Martha was very anxious, afraid that Philip would blame her. She had no choice. Her son-in-law was now the young patriarch of a wealthy family. She could not afford to offend him at all. Martha had come to terms with it. In the future, she would depend on her son-in-law. “What letter?” Philip frowned and asked coldly. At the same time, he asked Fennel to arrange for a private plane to return to Orienta. “The words written on the envelope read the Singer family.” Martha said and asked, “Philip, who’s the Singer family? Will something happen to Mila?” At the other
“Hmph!” Philip snorted and said, “When the Singer family reached their hands out to Mila, their ending was already set in stone! Without the Singer family, any Tom, Dick, and Harry family can still take charge of the Northern supernatural disciple world!” Philip had made his intention clear. Fennel said no more and told his subordinates to pack up. He got ready to return home with Philip on a private plane. After all, it was impossible for Philip to go to Mystic City in the Northwest alone. He left things in the Hall of the Sun to the Strategist. Before leaving, Fennel also called Athena up and asked her to take care of the hall. Of course, Athena was quite willing to do so. She also emphasized that she would definitely go to Orienta to look for Fennel. As for Roger, he would remain in the Hall of the Sun to recover from his injuries for the time being. Roger had his plans that Philip did not know nor intended to find out. Philip did not even tell Roger about Mila.
The next morning, the private plane landed at the Riverdale airport. Philip and Fennel got off the plane. They got into the car prepared by Theo Zander and headed straight to First Palace. All the streets in Riverdale were on lockdown! In less than ten minutes, Philip returned to First Palace, where Charles and Martha were sitting in the living room. Martha’s eyes were red from crying, while Charles paced around anxiously. “Stop crying. What’s the use of crying now? If not for your carelessness, Mila wouldn’t have gotten kidnapped.” Charles had not slept a wink last night. Martha sobbed and said, “You can’t blame me for that. I didn't know that someone would lay their hands on Mila. If Philip hadn’t messed with someone outside, who would have done such a thing to Mila?” “Enough! Are you still blaming Philip now?” Charles said angrily. Martha only said this because she was nervous and worried. She quickly asked, “Charles, do you think Philip will blame me when he comes
George received news about Mila’s kidnapping last night and suppressed the news within the Clarke family for fear that the people of the branch family would find out. If they found out, maybe the branch family would get involved too. In that case, things would get tricky. George immediately dialed the intercom of the family guards’ base camp and ordered, “The young patriarch has given the order to mobilize four teams of sea, land, and air to head to the Northern Singer family! Do this immediately without fail!” “Yes!” The guards of the base camp immediately sprang into action! In less than three minutes, the land guards assembled a hundred fully armed guards, all of them the most elite guards of the main Clarke family. On the sea, five escort cruise ships were mobilized with all ammunition fully loaded. They headed straight for the Northern port of Beechwood City where the Singer family was located. Four fighter jets also lifted off from the Clarke family’s airport with
Jenkins snorted and said, “Hehe, Leon Jefferson is very gutsy. Let’s see if he dares to fight the Singer family head-on for the sake of that young brat!” After that, Jenkins said to the middle-aged man, “Pass him my message that we won’t let her go. The Singer family will invite Villa Master Leon Jefferson as a guest here with open arms!” “This…” The elder of the Singer family was hesitant and said, “Patriarch, is this reply really appropriate? He’s the master of Cherry Villa, after all. If we really provoke him, I’m afraid it’ll be detrimental to the Singer family and Terrain Villa.” Jenkins snorted and said, “I’m not afraid of Leon Jefferson!” Hearing that, the elder of the Singer family nodded and said, “I’ll send him the reply now.” Instantly, the atmosphere in the hall went cold. After the middle-aged man left the hall, seven or eight other core members of the Singer family remained seated. A middle-aged man with a hooked nose and thin face said, “Patriarch, I think
The great Southern supernatural disciple community had been relying on Leon Jefferson to support them and fight against the Northern supernatural disciple community. After all, in recent years, the number of talents in the South had dwindled. Leon stood with his hands behind his back, his face cold. He looked at the raging Jenkins and said, “Patriarch Singer, I only have one piece of advice for you. Let her go.” Hearing that, Jenkins snorted and said, “Leon, why should I let her go just because of a word from you? My son Ronan died in your Cherry Villa. As the master of Cherry Villa, not only did you not capture the murderer but you’re even defending the murderer now? Is that how you do things in the South?” Leon replied frankly, “Ronan wasn’t as skillful as others yet he provoked him. Philip had already held back but Ronan was unrepentant and tried to assassinate him. In the end, he was killed by Philip. What’s wrong with that?” “Bullsh*t!” Jenkins shouted angrily, “My son
“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
