The two jeeps stopped because everyone had to get out of the cars and walk from there. They got out of the cars, looked at each other, and walked toward the guards at the gate. Several guards came over and glanced at Philip and the others. They looked at their documents and asked, “You don't belong to this area. Why are you here?” Philip was wearing the uniform of the guards of Cochly Mountain and said in a low voice, “We need to escort the guardian maiden back.” “The guardian maiden?” The captain of the guard raised his brows and looked sideways at Janike behind Philip. Immediately, he stepped forward and asked for Janike’s documents with a respectful expression on his face. Then, he said to Philip and the others, “We’ll take over the escort duty from now on. You can go back to the first line of defense!” Hearing this, Philip’s face darkened, but the other party could not see it through his mask. Janike quickly said, “No need, they’ll escort me.” The captain of the g
Philip still held the gun against the man’s head and watched as Fennel and the others went through the gate smoothly with Janike before he slowly walked inside. After they entered, the man angrily threw his hat on the ground and roared, “What's going on with this first line of defense? Are they crazy?” As he vented his anger, a voice suddenly came from the headset, “Everyone, alert! Outsiders have infiltrated Cochly Mountain! The seventh squad of the first line of defense has been killed!” Hearing this, the man's expression changed. His eyes widened as he looked at the departing backs of Philip and the others. He roared, “After them! They’re spies!” In an instant, several teams gave chase. After Philip and the others passed through the huge city wall, they strayed off the main road and braved the wind and snow to enter the nearby mountains. At this moment, they lay on the edge of a nearby cliff and looked down at the search parties. Fennel sneered and said, “He guessed it
While Owen flew into a rage, a group of people in special combat uniforms stopped in front of the building in a jeep. Several men stepped out of the car with special medals on their shoulders. They were wearing snow robes. They looked around with icy eyes before walking into the building. The guard at the door wanted to stop them but stepped aside and let them through after seeing their documents. They walked directly into the meeting room in the deepest part of the building. “Commander Greene, the people from the Supernatural Bureau are here,” a secretary barged into the meeting room and said. Owen was venting his anger. Hearing the secretary’s words, his eyes became cold, and he said with a frown, “Let them wait outside.” However, as soon as he said that, those people barged into the meeting room and looked around coldly. The man in the lead had a square jaw, a beard, a serious face, and cold eyes. He looked at Owen and said, “Commander Greene, how are you?” Seeing
Derek looked at Owen and said, “Commander Greene, the Supernatural Bureau would like to have a detailed report about the guardian maiden’s incident.” “Derek Pascal, don’t go too far! The guardian maiden is Cochly Mountain’s important secret! It's impossible to tell you anything!” “Deputy Commander Pascal, you’re getting ahead of yourself. This is only your first day on duty. Be careful of attracting too much attention.” Some people began to reprimand harshly. Owen’s face was dark, and he frowned tightly. After a beat, he said, “Hand the report to Deputy Commander Pascal.” Soon, a secretary took out a detailed report about the guardian maiden’s getaway. Derek took it, got up, and said with a smile, “Thank you.” After that, Derek strutted away. After he left, Owen punched the table and said coldly, “Damn that Derek Pascal!” “Commander Greene, what’s the Imperial Preceptor trying to do? Why did he let the Supernatural Bureau work with us?” “We need to report this matte
After these four tall and burly men landed on the ground, their icy gazes swept over Philip and the others. Seeing the four guys who suddenly fell from the sky, Philip and the others got ready to fight. That was because the other party’s strength was not low. They were at least disciples from the sixth zone. The man in the lead even had the strength of the seventh zone. These four burly guys wore black steel armor, and their bulging muscles were exposed in the cold air. All of them held weapons, and the man in the lead had a giant sword emblazoned on his chest. His gloomy eyes swept across Philip and the others before he looked at Janike and said in a hoarse, low voice, “Guardian Maiden, come with us.” Janike stood behind Philip and the others with Beelzebub in her arms. With struggle and hesitation in her eyes, she finally shook her head and said, “I won't go back with you. I want to follow them.” The leader held a huge sword in his hand. He frowned, looked coldly at Phi
The burly man bellowed angrily. Philip frowned and backed away. At the same time, he pointed the snow sword in his hand to the sky, where a white sword formation suddenly appeared. The drifting snowflakes froze in the sword formation and merged into snow swords. With destructive sword intent, the swords pierced through the air and stabbed the man on the ground like missiles! Buzz! One after another, the white snow sword energy blasted at the burly man’s attack! Boom! In an instant, a terrifying energy vortex storm engulfed this area! Snowflakes danced in the air, and the cold wind felt like small knives cutting the skin! Philip’s eyes were filled with snowflakes, and he could not see the surroundings at all. The burly man also disappeared from his sight. Philip stood on the spot with the snow sword in his hand. His eyes became abnormally sharp as he searched for the burly man in the snow. Bang! Suddenly, a figure as strong as a mountain with a giant sword fell fro
Hearing the burly man’s words, Philip’s face grew darker and darker. The other party seemed very confident. “By the way, before you die, I want to tell you that my name is Reynold. I hope you remember my name.” The burly man sneered maliciously, and killing intent filled his eyes. Boom! Reynold suddenly jumped up, and the giant sword in his hand slashed at Philip with a sword intent 10 times stronger than before! Philip jumped back, and the huge sword intent cut a huge crack where he was standing! Rumble! The cliff was cut off, and the huge stone rolled from the top of the mountain, causing an avalanche! Reynold turned sideways and slashed out at Philip again! “One sword flattens the mountains and rivers!” Reynold roared as strong killing intent radiated from his giant sword! Philip’s eyes were cold, and his eyelids jumped. The other party’s attack method suddenly became very strong and full of explosive power! Philip quickly evaded and punched out at the same
Reynold stood in the distance, the giant sword dragging a long mark in the snow. He looked at Philip who was covered in injuries and said, “Young Patriarch Clarke, as I said, I’ve found the method to defeat you. Your meaningless struggles are futile. In my eyes, you’re already dead. The only reason I’m fighting you is to verify the method I found.” With that said, Reynold was already standing less than two meters away from Philip. He raised the giant sword in his hand and said, “Let me take your head now!” Whoosh! With a gust of wind, the giant sword slashed at Philip’s head! Clang! However, suddenly, a shocking change happened! A hand covered in blood grabbed Reynold’s sword blade! Reynold was shocked at this sight. He frowned and said coldly, “Do you still want to resist?” Philip’s head was lowered as one hand was raised to his ear, firmly grasping the blade of the giant sword. He said in a low voice, “You know my attack methods well, but what about its attack met
Other members of the family had been so pampered that no one could fight Ronan either. All of them were sent flying, and some of them hung on the tree miserably. Philip laughed at the scene. These people had always treated Ronan as a pushover when, in fact, Ronan was a force to be reckoned with. None of them was a match for him. “I know that other than my uncle, some other people were also involved in harming my mother, but I don’t know who they are. You'd better hand them over or no one will leave this place alive today.” Ronan’s killing intent was very intense. He was clearly very angry. Everyone panicked and looked around carefully, at a loss for what to do. They saw the fear in each other’s eyes. The family head had taken Ronan's uncle and some other people to a city. It was difficult for them to find a decision-maker when the elders were not around. The instigator from back then was not around either. Who else could they look for? “Calm down. This matter has nothin
Ronan’s uncle did not hesitate to force his elder sister to her death just to kick the most promising descendant out of the family. This grudge was unforgivable. Everyone laughed at Ronan’s audacity to seek revenge. Only a fool would dare to do that. “Do you know how powerful your uncle is?” “Although he’s not here now, he’s not someone you can afford to mess with.” Everyone mocked Ronan without taking him seriously at all. “Did you hear what I said?” Ronan scowled. These people kept disregarding his request and paid no attention to him. He felt very upset. “Since you won’t hand him over, I’ll beat you until he appears. If he’s not here, other people can take his place.” He knew that his uncle was quite powerful and would often go to other towns or cities for networking. While it was true that he might not be around, it did not mean that Ronan would not make trouble for the others. Everyone looked at Ronan arrogantly, waiting to see what Ronan would do. Suddenly, Rona
The guards were taken aback by Ronan’s sudden arrogance and looked at him doubtfully. “What’s up with you? Do you want to take action?” “After all these years, have you finally decided to avenge your mother?” They kept taunting Ronan without realizing how angry he was. “I repeat—I want to see the people who forced my mother to her death back then!” Ronan stomped his foot in anger and glared at everyone around him. The guards were startled because they finally felt Ronan’s strength with that stomp. They did not expect him to be that strong. Maybe because of Ronan’s fury, they finally realized his might and quickly scrambled into the manor. Philip saw the name on a plaque—Claude Manor. The place looked pretty imposing, and Philip felt a stab of longing as he looked around. Philip stood without a word. His main objective was to help Ronan. The guards ran away in a panic. They knew that Ronan was going to make things difficult for them. “It’s bad. Ronan is at the door
The man could not resist because he was alone. Next time, he would bring more people to deal with Philip. Philip saw his resentment but took no notice of it. No matter how much he resented Philip, he would not survive tonight. Such an arrogant and domineering person would not live to see the sun tomorrow. “Y-You hit him?” Ronan looked at Philip in disbelief, shocked that Philip would stand up for him. Although he usually appeared simple and kind, he was not a fool. He knew that Philip hit that guy to protect him. “If you meet such people again, just fight them and don’t worry about unnecessary things. You don't want to fight because you’re afraid of losing the right to enter the town, but you’re my brother from now on. “I can take care of your wine supply, and we can find other ways to make money. You don’t have to waste your efforts and live under someone else's roof anymore,” Philip said arrogantly, not taking these people seriously at all. Hearing that, Ronan nodded with
A man stepped forward at this time. “Ronan, have you completed your task? I have another task for you. Hurry up with it! I want you to hunt a thousand rabbits, and I’ll pay you one crystal for them. What do you think?” He had a smirk on his face. He was clearly trying to rip Ronan off. Ronan frowned. “Based on the market price, you should pay me at least ten crystals.” Hearing that, the man was unhappy. “That’s the price for a human. Who do you think you are? Giving you some money is good enough for you!” Ronan clenched his fist, and the man stepped back. “What are you doing? Do you want to pick a fight here? Once you make a move, someone like you will lose the chance to enter the town again! And you can forget about getting another task!” the other party threatened Ronan fearfully. He knew that Ronan was very powerful, but he had a good temper, so everyone always bullied him. “Is there a rule in the town that prohibits fighting?” Philip asked curiously. The smirking ma
Ronan and Philip moved forward and finally arrived at the human town. Philip looked around curiously and found that it was a large city. Humans had done quite well in developing a city. “If you’re not happy with this place, you can consider going to the city in the west. You can find many human territories nearby. I don’t know why humans are unwilling to live together but prefer to build cities everywhere!” Ronan was not human, so he could not understand it. “Although my mother is a human, I’m not. I only remember living in that hut since I was born. No other race is willing to accept me, including humans.” Ronan was embarrassed because he had scales on his body that were clearly visible at sea but not so much on land. Humans were unwilling to classify Ronan as a human because of that. Philip nodded, surprised to hear his pitiful plight. Not only did he not have his own race, but his mother’s race was unwilling to acknowledge him too. “That’s awful. Why don't you join u
“This is it, crystal! This little stone can get me a big bottle of wine! Since I’m lucky enough to meet you today, I’ll give it to you!” Ronan clearly had no concept of money. Philip took the stone from Ronan’s hand and found that it was no different from an energy stone. He tried to return the stone to Ronan, who rejected it. “I don't have much concept of money, but I know that money is indispensable if you want to go to the place where humans live. Just take it. I'm afraid that you’ll be detained if you don't have money. I was detained once before!” Philip was touched by Ronan’s words. He took out a bottle of wine from the space ring and handed it to Ronan. Although the wine was nothing to Philip, it was a rare treasure to Ronan, who had never tasted good wine. “What’s this?” Ronan curiously took the bottle of wine that Philip handed to him. He put it to his nose, sniffed it carefully, and was soon bursting with excitement. “This is good stuff! Do you want to sell it to m
“You’re not from a big family? In that case, how did you become so strong at such a young age?” Ronan looked at Rabbit in surprise too. “I thought you were from a big family, one of the best! After all, only such families have the power to capture summoned beasts for their descendants!” Obviously, Ronan had misunderstood Rabbit’s identity. Rabbit blinked blankly, wondering what Ronan was talking about. “Summoned beast? I'm not a summoned beast; I'm just an ordinary rabbit!” Seeing Ronan’s confusion, Rabbit smugly introduced himself. Although he had no idea what a summoned beast meant, it did not sound imposing, so Rabbit did not like it at all. Ronan was startled to hear that Rabbit was not a summoned beast but a creature with intelligence. He felt very powerful. “Indeed, he’s not a summoned beast but my pet. You can think of him as my partner. I’m more curious about this place.” Philip was puzzled, wondering what was going on in this world. He had not seen any towns so f
“This is the survival of the fittest! We were much stronger than them, so they were at our mercy, just like how we’re at your mercy now!” Someone stepped forward, his voice trembling as if he wanted to rebuke Philip. Seeing his timid appearance but bold attempt, Philip sneered, “In that case, I’m stronger than you, so there’s nothing wrong with killing you. You should pray that I won’t kill you in the cruelest way possible.” Philip raised his sword and killed the fish creature who voiced up. Any sign of weakness and these people would think they had a chance to survive. Ronan applauded Philip’s decisiveness and quickly joined the battle. Philip smiled at Ronan’s excitement. He simply wanted to vent. Over the years, he had been working so hard for his family and their future that he had almost lost sight of himself. He realized that maybe he should live for himself from now on. He wanted to become stronger and dominate the world. He knew that this was a real world. Although
