The figure raised his hand, and a golden magic circle covered with obscure symbols appeared in front of his palm, absorbing Chip’s blow. This person who suddenly appeared was dressed in a black suit and had a stern face with a hint of anger. He lightly retracted his hands and stood with his hands behind his back, glaring at Chip on the opposite side. Chip saw the man's appearance clearly at this moment. He was shocked and said, “H-How could it be you?” Philip also saw this figure that suddenly appeared in front of him and frowned. The master of Gentleman Court, Benny Larson! Benny frowned, glanced sideways at Philip, and said, “Leave with your people. I’ll take care of this.” Philip thought for a while and asked, “Why help me?” Benny said, “You can't die yet. You’re a piece in the chess game and a key component. Besides, you also have the blood of a Larson flowing in your body.” After saying that, Benny raised his hand and made a grabbing motion at the sea, hauling Fe
Philip scowled. He did not expect the foundation of the Larson family to be so solid. “Uncle Tango, apart from these three elders, what else does the Larson family have?” Philip asked. Tango frowned, crossed his arms, and thought about it carefully. He said, “Young Patriarch, the Larson family could be considered a behemoth back then too, a family on par with the Clarke family. As for their foundation, not many people know about it. If you want to find out, maybe you can ask the lord.” Philip frowned and turned to look at Hogan, who shook his head and said, “Silva never let me get in touch with such matters.” At this time, someone walked in from outside, and an elderly voice rang out. “The Larson family's foundation is not something you can challenge now.” “The Larson family has existed in this world for a long time. Even if they’re cowering in Fernvale now, their foundation is still here. “Otherwise, the Larson family would’ve been wiped out by its enemies in secret over t
Hearing this, Philip frowned and asked Benny, “What secret does the Larson family have?” Benny scowled, and an indescribable look of helplessness flashed in his eyes. He said, “Let the Larson family’s secret fade with time. Just remember that you’re not a match for the Larson family now. As for your father, he has no time to take care of you for the time being. The Clarke family will also not help you to take action against the Larson family easily. “This is a chess game, and every chess piece has a reason to exist. As a piece in this chess game, you shouldn’t fight for no reason but follow the arrangements of this world and walk your own path.” After Benny finished speaking, everyone frowned as if they could not understand his words. However, Philip vaguely understood Benny’s meaning. He was a pawn in this game of world chess. However, did he have to live by obeying the wishes of others? Was he willing to be this chess piece? Of course not! “Court Master Larson, you
Seeing Benny’s departing back, Philip’s expression was very solemn. Benny’s final remarks echoed in his ears. What did Benny mean? What destined person could help him with life-or-death situations? Was his trip to Mystic City in the northwest going to be that difficult? Since he could not figure it out, Philip stopped thinking about it. He turned to Hogan and the others to ask, “Do we really have to send Grandpa back?” Hogan nodded and said, “Young Patriarch Clarke, I know you’re worried about the grandmaster, but he’s the symbol of the Larson family, after all. Besides, Fifth Uncle has mentioned that he’ll go to the Larson family in person. I think the grandmaster should be very safe.” Philip frowned, thought for a while, and said, “I’ll bring Grandpa back tomorrow.” … The next day, Philip’s injuries were almost healed. As Fennel had contacted someone to send the essence of life over, Philip recovered quickly. Early in the morning, Philip pushed his grandfather's w
“Grandpa, what did you say just now?” Philip asked. The grandmaster narrowed his eyes and said, “Brat, Mystic City in the northwest isn’t a place you can easily set foot in. There are a lot of secrets out there with a mix of people. It’ll be a tough battle for you to get what you want there. I have nothing to give you. I can only remind you not to go to Mystic Cave at the center of Mystic City. There’s something in there that once injured your father.” At this point, the grandmaster stopped talking. Philip was already too shocked to speak. Was Grandpa faking it? However, after a while, Grandpa had forgotten what he said and asked Philip cheerfully, “Who are you? Why are you here?” Philip frowned. He accompanied his grandfather for a while and left the yard. Before Philip left, a nanny outside the yard left quickly and went to Silva’s residence. “What did you say? The secret vault is in Mystic City in the northwest?” Silva stared at the nanny kneeling on the ground, his
In the afternoon, the people of the Berry family finally arrived in Fernvale. The leader was the third young master of the Berry family, Mick Berry. As soon as he arrived in Fernvale, he acted in an arrogant and domineering manner. When the Larson family’s guards went to greet him, they were reprimanded, saying that the pomp and splendor were lacking, which caused Mick to lose face! Wherever he went, Mick was used to being welcomed by a huge crowd, complete with live broadcasts by various media such as TV stations and so on. The streets would also be full of women yelling his name. When Silva heard this, he was exasperated and asked with a frown, “How long will it take?” “It won’t be long now, Patriarch. But the young master went to Tulip Club first and will only come to the Larson family once he’s done. I'm afraid it will take a while,” a servant replied. “Tulip Club?” Silva frowned upon hearing this. Tulip Club was a well-known entertainment club in Fernvale that was
Clatter! The Larson family’s guards were driven out of the private room. … Larson Manor, central hall. Bang! Silva smashed the tea set in anger and shouted, “Mick Berry is too arrogant! He’s just the third young master of the Berry family. How dare he treat my Larson family’s guards like this?! He doesn’t respect the Larson family at all!” Zayn was also full of anger and said, “Silva, do you really want to invite him in person? Do you think the Berry family is making things difficult for us on purpose and wants to make us bow our heads to them?” Hmph! Silva snorted coldly and said with a wave, “Let’s go! I want to see how high and mighty this Third Young Master Berry can be!” After that, Silva and his people headed to Tulip Club. Meanwhile, in Tulip Club. Philip, Fennel, Cynthia, and the others also walked in. Everyone said that Tulip Club was the place to visit in Fernvale, so Philip wanted to take a look after some thought. He planned to build several entert
Philip sneered and said, “Oh? So you’re a member of the Berry family and the third young master too.” Hearing this, Mick immediately felt a burst of confidence. He held his chin up, clutched his hand, and said, “That's right! I’m the third young master of the Berry family, and my eldest brother is Stanley Berry! If you dare to mess with me, you’re doomed! “However, seeing that you didn’t know, I can let you go, but you have to kneel and apologize to me, break your arms, and crawl out from here on your knees! “Also, I’ve taken a fancy to the woman next to you! Let me play with her for a month and I’ll return her to you after that!” After Mick finished speaking, his face was full of evil smiles! There was no woman he fancied that he could not get his hands on! An ignorant kid in Fernvale actually dared to make a move against him. He was simply tired of living! When he returned, he must inform his father and eldest brother to manage Fernvale properly! These people were too
After getting rid of the crocodile, Philip jumped up and returned to the shore with Rabbit. Although he had been fighting in the water for a while, Philip was not wet at all—a stark contrast with Rabbit. “Philip, are your clothes waterproof? Maybe I should see if I can make my fur waterproof?” After he was back to safety, Rabbit started shooting his mouth off excitedly again. He never thought he could survive. Philip was expectant when he felt the sudden increase in his power. He dragged the crocodile ashore. He thought this creature was weird. It was not a monster beast and did not have a monster core. However, it was very powerful and could fight Philip with its body alone. The monster beasts he had seen in the past could spray fire or water, fly in the air, or burrow underground. In short, they had some abilities to a certain extent. However, the crocodile in front of him did not display any abilities. It was just like an ordinary crocodile in the zoo. Despite that, ev
When they arrived at the oasis, Philip found that it covered a large area. This place could be considered a large island that looked quite luxurious and extraordinary. “We can finally have a good rest.” Rabbit leaned against a big tree comfortably. He felt relaxed as soon as he entered the oasis, which was not so hot and had abundant water resources. “The environment is quite good, but I wonder if there’s any danger.” Philip looked around with satisfaction. Suddenly, an ugly monster rushed toward them, so fast that Rabbit could not react. Rabbit was very close to the water and was taken by the monster before he could react. Philip immediately gave chase. The monster bit Rabbit and plunged into the water. Philip reached out and grabbed the monster. He knew that Rabbit was useless in such cases. Rabbit would probably be dead if the weird monster took him away. “Philip, save me!” Rabbit spluttered in the water, bobbing up and down, feeling very scared. He regretted staying
“This may look very cruel, but it wouldn’t have happened if they hadn’t attacked us,” Rabbit said with a sigh. He knew that Philip would not have done this if the ants had not treated them as food. He knew Philip too well. He would avoid trouble as much as possible. Philip would not attack for no reason even if he had to take a detour. However, the ants’ killing intent was too strong. It was bad enough if Rabbit felt scared. He just wanted to cheer for Philip. “Philip, did you notice that this place is not a secret realm but more like a world?” Rabbit said doubtfully. At first, Rabbit thought that the stone man had teleported them to a terrible secret realm, but after some time, he felt a difference between this place and a secret realm. “Although we can find various natural environments in a secret realm, they're generally false and can't appear in front of us, but everything around us is real!” The monsters they usually encountered in a secret realm would attack their s
“Wait a minute. Do you think that the black energy is approaching us?” Moray stepped back in a panic and looked around in disbelief. Hearing that, everyone looked at their surroundings. Sure enough, the black energy was getting closer. Aslan estimated that it would take six hours for the black energy to trap everyone. Aslan was calm. All the people under Philip’s command did not find the black energy dangerous. Only the losers would find it dangerous. Now that Philip was trapped, it was useless for them to worry. Aslan took out some recliners from his space ring and asked everyone to wait quietly. “Now that we’re free, let’s prepare some food and drinks. Let's not get into trouble.” At Aslan’s order, everyone took action. They had nothing to worry about. The others stared at them in surprise and amazement. Now that danger was upon them, how could these people laugh and eat without worries? They did not take the stone man seriously at all. However, they could not do
“What the hell did you do? Give Philip back. Stop messing around!” Aslan threatened the stone man. Aslan knew that the stone man must have taken Philip to a dangerous place. Philip must have been taken into a barrier or an unknown and terrifying place. Anyway, the stone man must be up to no good! The stone man calmly ignored them. “I’m your only opponent. I don't know how many stone people there are in the outside world, but as far as I know, I’m the only stone man in this world. “Since Philip is that powerful, I’ll give him six hours. If he can leave my secret realm, I’ll let you go. If not, be prepared to die.” After saying that, the stone man laughed wickedly and vanished from the spot, leaving everyone looking at each other in bewilderment. No one knew where he had gone, and no one knew what was going on. The people of the major races summoned their people in a panic. No matter what, they had to find the way out. “Hurry up and find an exit. We can't put all our hope
“Let’s walk ahead. I believe this is an illusion created by the stone man to confuse us. As long as we stay calm, he can’t do anything to us,” Philip said calmly as if he knew what was going on. He and Rabbit walked forward and soon saw a huge oasis in front of them. Rabbit was delighted to see the oasis because that meant there was still hope for them. Although the desert environment was harsh, they should be able to bump into some indigenous people and figure out what was going on. “Philip, are my eyes playing tricks on me? I see an oasis ahead of us. This is great. In that case, we can find a way out!” Rabbit knew that Philip had been looking for a way out but to no avail. Something had to be preventing him from doing it. They might have to pass a test before they could leave. In that case, they had to figure out the secret. Philip glanced at the oasis in front of him and relaxed a little. At least, he could tell that it was not a mirage. They excitedly ran to the oasi
The black shadow was not bothered about revealing its identity because it liked being a stone man. “The stone people have strong minds and a firm resolve. They're never as disgusting and selfish as humans. It's a pity that we didn't have a chance to develop. I found a fragmented scroll that recorded some techniques for development. Among them is a technique most suitable for the stone people to become stronger through a sacrificial ritual.” The stone man seemed very earnest as he explained the details, but he was, in fact, using this time to solidify his body until he was finally complete. “Haha, everything is over once I get rid of you!” the stone man laughed. His figure shook, and clouds of black energy formed again. However, the black energy was only aimed at Philip. In his opinion, the others would die once he got rid of Philip. Philip was surrounded by black energy before he could react. In a split second, he could not see anything around him. Seeing this, Rabbit rushe
Before this, these people kept insulting Philip and wished they could tear him into pieces. They even thought it was unlucky to see him here. Surprisingly, events took a sudden turn, and Philip became their savior instead. “Enough with the crap.” Philip did not want to respond to their gratitude. He just wished they could get the fight over and done with so that they could leave. “By the way, I'm curious about something.” As the fight reached the boiling point, Philip turned to the black shadow curiously. The black shadow was taken aback by Philip’s sudden remark. “What are you curious about?” The black shadow wanted to buy some time. It was just a step away from forming a solid entity, which could improve its strength significantly. Philip would have to think twice about dealing with it by then. Thus, the black shadow was excited that Philip wanted to chat with it. “How did you make that mysterious old man convey the news?” According to most people, they found out about
The black shadow gained strength by devouring other people’s flesh and blood. Philip knew that he might be no match for the black shadow once it devoured everyone present. After going through all the trouble, it would not let all its efforts go to waste. Philip's appearance had ruined its plan. It would probably go crazy if it could not devour these people. “No one can stop me today. So what if you’re strong? I don't believe you can save everyone!” After saying this, the black energy rushed to the merfolk. The merfolk ran to Philip in a panic, hoping that Philip could protect them. “Lyle,” Philip said. Philip was exasperated by these stupid merfolk. Lyle rushed forward and attacked the black energy. Back then, Philip had given them sachets to ward off evil energy. Lyle had a sudden idea and hurled a sachet at the black shadow. It was just an experiment, but it worked. After sensing the powder in Philip's sachet, the black energy shrank back and stopped moving as if it h
