As Philip stacked the planks at the door, several people suddenly rushed over. “Are you the one who beat up our buddies sent by Leopard?” Philip noticed that these people wore similar outfits and knew they must belong to the same gang as the three burly guys. Philip nodded and said, “Yes, that’s me!” Those people sneered at Philip and said, “Come with us, then!” After the man finished speaking, he grabbed Philip's arm. Philip wanted to fight them at first, but when he turned around, he saw Emily and the old man who just stepped out and suppressed the urge to do so. “Kid, you’d better behave, or I can’t guarantee what we’ll do!” Hearing that, Philip glanced at the man who spoke. “You don’t have to grab me. I can walk!” Philip said calmly and started walking. Emily had helped him before, so when he saw these people bullying Emily, Philip chose to help her. However, his action offended these people. Philip followed them and soon saw a place similar to an undergro
At this moment, Leopard started a betting pool. “I’ll open a handicap betting pool today. Let’s bet on how long this kid can survive!” “One minute. I’ll bet 1,000 star dollars!” “I bet 2,000 star dollars that he can only survive for 30 seconds!” In an instant, everyone was attracted by Leopard’s handicap betting pool. Everyone placed a bet, and most of them were guessing how long Philip would survive. In the arena, the two people controlling the mechas were already sweating profusely. That was because they realized that even with the mecha’s protective shield, they could not compete with Philip. Philip's movements were very agile, simply beyond their expectations. Although Philip did not know much about the mechas of this new world, he did have one experience fighting a patrol mecha. He did not attack any other places but focused on the heads of these two mechas. Philip moved and barely avoided the punch a mecha threw at him. Then, Philip jumped onto the mecha.
At this point, anyone could tell that something was wrong, but the problem was that this person could take down two mechas single-handedly. People like them were hardly a match for him. Pointing a gun at Philip, Leopard asked, “Did you do this?” Philip raised his eyebrows and said with a chuckle, “Of course, who else?” However, although Leopard was holding a gun in his hand, he said with a smile on his face, “Buddy, since you’re so strong, why don’t we work together? We can organize a battle between man and mecha. It’s guaranteed to make a profit!” Everyone's expressions changed upon hearing Leopard’s suggestion! They also put away their guns. Philip smiled lightly and said, “Sounds good!” Hearing that, Leopard was full of smiles with a hint of smugness. However, Philip’s next words made his face go dark. “But why should I work with you? Are you worthy?” Leopard sneered and said, “Fine, you have guts. But let’s see if your guts are tougher than my gun!” Before h
Philip pulled Emily into the house and said, “Don’t worry, I’m fine. I just had a few words with Leopard, that’s all.” At this moment, a tall and slender woman suddenly walked in. Several men followed behind her. Although they also held guns in their hands, Philip could see that they were a little weaker than Leopard’s men. “Emily, we’ll go to Leopard’s place for the rescue now.” However, before she finished speaking, her eyes fell on Philip's hand that was holding Emily. “Jerk, let go of Emily!” the woman shouted angrily. Philip finally took a closer look at this woman, who had light makeup on her delicate face. Although she was not exactly gorgeous, she still had her charms. With her curvy figure, she was enough to be considered a first-class beauty. Emily quickly broke free from Philip's grab and said to the woman, “Iris, you misunderstood.” Before Emily could finish speaking, Iris shielded Emily behind her. “Don't be afraid, Emily. With me around, no one can h
Iris looked at Philip meaningfully and said, “Emily knows the place. Let her bring you there at night. Don't be too late!” This time, Iris finally left. As Iris left, her men asked her, “Madam, what are you doing?” Iris said with a smile, “Over the years, no man has ever touched me. He actually dared to take advantage of me. I’ll make him drink his fill tonight and let him make a fool of himself!” Iris was very smug. Thinking of Philip’s silly antics after he got drunk, Iris almost laughed out loud. On the other hand, Emily looked at Iris’ departing back and muttered, “Iris is so strange today.” Philip touched Emily's head and said, “I’m starving. Is there anything to eat?” Hearing that, Emily returned to her senses. “Oops, Grandpa hasn't eaten yet!” Only now did Emily remember that she still had to take care of her grandfather in this dilapidated house. Emily moved quickly. Perhaps it was because she was taking care of the elderly, but the food she prepared mostly
Philip looked at the middle-aged man, and Emily's face flushed with anger. The man walked up to Philip and Emily. He merely took a glance at Philip before turning to Emily. “Hehe!” A wicked gleam suddenly flashed in the man's eyes. “What a good-looking girl. If you take good care of me tonight, I’ll forget the fact that you almost hit my aircraft!” As he spoke, he reached out to grab Emily. Emily was frightened and was about to hide behind Philip. When the man saw this, he grabbed Philip's collar. “Get out of my way!” However, the man could not budge Philip. Philip narrowed his eyes and said to the man, “Didn’t you learn to be civilized and polite when you were a child?” As he spoke, Philip grabbed the man’s hand and twisted hard. Crack! Argh! The middle-aged man screamed. “You almost hit someone, but you still think you’re in the right?” Philip snorted coldly. The people around noticed the commotion and gathered around. Someone immediately recognized th
In short, this world was much bigger than Philip imagined. As for the powerhouses above the holy tier, Emily had no idea. After all, she was just a commoner of the underground city, and everything she knew, she heard from Iris. Philip sighed inwardly. It seemed that he had much to learn. As for the middle floor, it was occupied by low-class people and mecha masters. Philip and the others were now on the lowest floor, which was full of low-class people like them. Anyone with a mecha was considered superior, although those mechas were mostly old and damaged. Those with magnetic flying aircraft were equivalent to having a supercar. In fact, this place was similar to the original world. Philip looked around and saw some shops here, but compared to Earth, this place was equivalent to the slums. Soon, the two arrived at Iris' bar. At this time, the bar was full of people, and this was the only place where low-class people could vent their emotions. Philip followed Emily in.
Philip did not hesitate at all but picked up a glass and started drinking! Seeing this, Young Master Curry also picked up a glass and snorted. Philip’s strength had reached a half step to the other shore. According to Emily, he might be an eight-star talent in this world, so a few drinks posed no threat to him. Anywhere in this world, eight-star talents were an existence that all organizations in various countries would compete for and were treated as distinguished guests! Even the speed at which Philip was drinking could not compete with the speed at which his power of the rules could break down the alcohol. A drinking contest could be seen as comparing strengths. Young Master Curry was only at the level of a three-star now. He was drinking his first glass now, and everyone cheered when the match began. However, when Young Master Curry was on his third glass, he found that the speed of his alcohol breakdown had slowed down. On the other hand, not only did Philip not
At this time, Cameron and his men returned in the middle of the night. He saw the Claude family members crying as soon as he returned. They were bruised and battered from a beating, looking utterly miserable. Cameron was furious that someone would dare to bully his family members while he was away. “What's going on? Why are you in this state? Did someone cause trouble while I was away?” Cameron was angry and in disbelief, feeling that something was strange. Everyone nodded nervously. “Ronan is here!” The old woman who suffered the worst beating was very upset and glared viciously in Ronan’s direction. “Cameron, although you left me in charge while you were away, I can’t do it anymore. Ronan kept messing with us and even brought some people to beat us up!” The old woman made up stories and described Ronan as an unforgivable evildoer. Cameron scowled, but he could not believe it. “What did you say? Ronan actually hit someone?” He was unwilling to believe it. Although Ronan
Philip took out some fine wine, which was worthless to him but priceless to Ronan. Ronan laughed at Philip’s nonchalance and patted his shoulder. The two of them sat down and started drinking. Rabbit joined in the fun and swallowed the wine in big gulps. Although the alcohol content was a bit high for Rabbit, he enjoyed it happily. They quickly felt slightly tipsy. Although they were practitioners, they did not use any techniques to sober up. It was okay to be a little intoxicated as long as it did not affect them too much. It was rare to find a friend who they could click so well with, so it was a blessing to get drunk together. As they drank happily, the aroma of the wine wafted out. Everyone smelled the fragrance and looked for the source of the scent. They quickly found Ronan's residence and scowled. That smell proved that he had to be drinking good wine in there. “How is he worthy of such fine wine?” “Just a whiff of that wine clears my head, so it has to be good s
Although victory was not confirmed, they had to take part. Since the other party said so, they had no choice but to win. At the thought of the other major families, Cameron scowled as he felt the pressure. “I heard that you have a non-human descendant in your family,” the other party said with a smile, but it was uncertain if his intention was to mock Cameron or to find out some information. The Claude family scowled as they instantly figured out who the other party was talking about—Ronan. This person had disgraced the whole family. “We do have someone like that in our family. Back then, one of our youths was restless and impulsive…” Cameron wanted to explain, but the other party interrupted him. The mysterious man smiled with satisfaction at Cameron’s admittance. “If that’s the case, it’s great. Let this person take part in the competition. I’m interested in his strength and want to try it out in person. “Other than your victory, this person has to take part in the comp
By treating Ronan badly, the people would receive some rewards from the higher-ups. After a while, everyone got used to it. Even the wine sold to Ronan was cheap wine that no one wanted. “There’ll be a place for me in the world somehow!” Philip shook his head. These people’s attitude was strange, indeed, but he did not think that they could not find a roof over their heads. Since the Claude family was so arrogant, they could take over their place. Thinking of this, Philip took them back to the Claude family's manor and knocked on the door with a smile on his face. The guards were horrified to see Philip and Ronan again. They did not forget how badly they were beaten earlier. Thus, no one dared to stop them from marching in for fear that they would be beaten again. They could not afford the consequences. The Claude family quickly learned about their appearance. They scowled, their faces turning ashen. “Why are you here again?” “We already told you that they won't be ba
Even though everyone was angry, they could not help but taunt the culprit. The cowardly man coughed at their sarcastic remarks. “Let’s wait until the family head returns tomorrow. I don’t believe Ronan will be so arrogant when he’s around!” After saying that, he ran to his room and hid, unwilling to say more to the others. Ronan did not know what happened back then. As long as he refused to admit it, he believed that Ronan could not do anything to him. It was a conspiracy against Ronan’s mother back then. If the family head refused to protect him, he would tell Ronan everything to save himself.… After Ronan left the luxurious manor, his mood instantly became better. He never thought that he would do something so spectacular one day. “Thank you.” Ronan lowered his head to Philip humbly. He was grateful to Philip and wanted to pledge brotherhood with Philip. Philip waved his hands awkwardly, surprised by Ronan’s courtesy. He did not do much; he just gave him some confiden
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
