Philip thought that he and Panther could just stay in the hotel, as they had already planned to avoid the guards and head to the hotel. However, at this time, something dropped from one of the guards’ hand. It was not anything important but a piece of armor he got from the Square Cage. It was an important part of the armor that they could use to upgrade their armor. When he passed by Panther and Philip, the thing fell to the ground. The guard glanced at Philip and Panther and immediately knew that they were civilians. Otherwise, they would not be wearing such ordinary clothes, not even simple armor. The guard raised his eyebrows and yelled at Philip, “You, pick that up for me.” He seemed used to bossing others around, so when he spoke to Philip, he was not polite at all. Seeing Philip motionless, just standing there looking at him, he was immediately unhappy. As he walked toward Philip, he cursed, “I'm talking to you. Are you deaf?” Seeing this, Panther immediately
At this moment, Philip was furious. Seeing the guard pouncing on him, he crashed into the guard, knocking him into the prison van transporting the prisoners of the Square Cage. There was a muffled bang. The prison van swayed. This van was no different from the normal ones, except that the bottom part was the structure of an aircraft while the top was steel cages. Seeing this, Panther’s heart dropped to rock bottom. If this incident became serious, it was hard to say if they could return to the lower floor safely, not to mention go to the upper floor. However, now that things had happened, there was no other choice. The worst they could do was to provoke the guards and fight with them. If they could find a suitable opportunity, maybe they could escape. To his surprise, Philip did not seem prepared to escape. He strangled the guard's neck tightly. The guard's face was already flushed red, obviously unable to breathe. The guard did not expect that the young man in front
The guard who heckled Philip earlier asked tremblingly, “Did you really kill Mr. Cusack?” Philip did not answer. Although his hand loosened a little, it did not leave the guard’s neck. However, his action all the more convinced the guards that Philip had really killed Mr. Cusack. And that was the reality, but few people admitted it. The guards exchanged a glance with each other before they persuaded Philip, “This is just a misunderstanding. Please don't take it to heart.” Although they had weapons and equipment and seemed in a much better shape compared to that of the lower floor, facing a person who killed Mr. Cusack, they simply had no courage to put up a fight. “Sir, on the account that I’m a first-time offender, please forgive me this time.” The guard who was strangled by the neck started begging for mercy. In their opinion, anyone who could deal with Mr. Cusack on the middle floor must not be a simple character. This was not a person they could afford to mess with,
This was a place that did not exist on the lower floor. Philip also saw many different places but as he did not know what those were for, he did not enter. Panther was afraid of any accidents. After all, what happened just now was scary enough so he did not want more trouble. With that thought in mind, Panther stepped in front of Philip. He faced the hotel front desk and showed the information displayed on his communicator. He said, “Give me a rest cabin.” Although this place was called a hotel, the room was called a rest cabin. Philip only realized that when Panther mentioned it. With Panther’s identification, they successfully checked into the rest cabin of the hotel. Although beds were also available here, most were places to replenish energy for armor or weapons. There were many devices operated by voice or a virtual panel. This hi-tech atmosphere was not seen in the ancestral land. Philip also discovered at this time that some traces of the missing civilizati
Before they fell asleep, there was a knock on the rest cabin door. The knock sounded unhurried and courteous. Panther immediately stood on alert. Although he entered the middle floor normally, Philip did not, so he could be regarded as a smuggled immigrant. Philip also sat upright. Although he did not know who the visitor was, it should be related to the previous incident. After all, looking at Panther's expression, it was obviously not someone he knew. Philip was all the more unknown on the middle floor so this result was easy to judge. However, they were now stuck in this rest cabin, almost impossible to up and leave. Philip said to Panther, “Open the door. I think they’re here for the incident earlier.” Panther stared at Philip grimly without speaking. However, he knew how troublesome this matter was. If Philip's identity was found out, he would be implicated too. “If I didn’t speak later, don’t say a word either. Don’t let the cat out of the bag.” Panther glan
This was the only way out. Panther’s delay tactic was a failure, so Philip had to take the initiative. Joy spread over the faces of the Draco Corps, and they followed Philip out. Panther followed them out of the rest cabin anxiously too. Panther walked next to Philip and was about to say something when Philip stopped Panther with his eyes. They already made a blunder so anything they said would only arouse more suspicions. So Philip stopped Panther from talking. Soon, they followed people of the Draco Corps and came to a place similar to a technological fortress. From a distance, they saw a golden dragon soaring into the sky. However, it was not a golden dragon but a customized light effect, presumably the logo of the Draco Corps. After following them through a long corridor, Philip finally saw the main lead. The captain of the Draco Corps. He was sitting upright on a chair, his face dark without any expression. Seeing Philip and Panther walking in, he just glan
“That’s enough. He’s our invited guest after all, so don’t worry about such red tapes.” The captain of the Draco Corps attracted Philip's attention. He was around after all, so he would never allow someone to bully his team members in front of him. He simply chose a more tactful way to resolve it. Philip knew that this was their territory, so he could not carry things too far, only to remind them. The intimidation just now was enough. Panther was shocked. He had heard some things about the Draco Corps. They were the core guards in charge of the whole middle floor, maintaining safety here. Although a little lacking compared to some big families or big forces on the middle floor, their strength should not be underestimated. Especially their head captain, he could be considered invincible among the six-star powerhouses of the same level. Coupled with his strong attributes, Panther heard that he had even defeated a seven-star powerhouse before. “Head captain, let's ge
“Wait a minute!” the head captain exclaimed. “For a lower floor person like you to come to the middle floor, anyone here has the right to kill you on the spot.” Philip stood still and turned his head back abruptly. Sure enough, the head captain already knew about it, but after careful thought, since they were able to catch these people, and Mr. Cusack knew Philip's identity at that time, it was easy to find out about it during interrogation. “Then let’s stop wasting time and just tell me what you want,” Philip said lightly. Philip was ready to fight. The captain of the Draco Corps signaled with his eyes and his team members got ready to fight too. “Okay, since you’re so forthright, I won’t beat around the bush anymore. As long as you hand over the item belonging to Mr. Cusack, not only will I let you go, but I can also take you for the combat evaluation.” Philip frowned upon hearing that. He had no idea what Mr. Cusack had. After killing him, Philip passed out. Under
Anyone with any ideas could only shake their heads helplessly after hearing Philip’s remarks. At the same time, they were amazed by the ring’s function. “Wow, that’s great. The person who made this thing must be a genius!” Cameron clapped his hands excitedly. Of course, he was worried that someone would steal his treasure. After all, owning a treasure was a sin in itself. It was inevitable for others to covet his treasure. It would be bad if they attacked him because of greed. With Philip’s explanation, his trouble would be reduced. “That sounds amazing.” The patriarch of the Lamy family seemed dissatisfied. He had some crooked thoughts too. With their family’s financial resources, they could not buy so many rings, so he planned to steal the other two as well. He was not that stupid to steal from Philip, so he could only set his sights on the other major families. Everyone wanted the rings anyway. As long as he refused to admit it, no one would know that he was guilty.
It was too much to use half of the family's assets and properties in exchange for one storage space. “Are you sure about this? Do you know how much that would cost?” “The Lamy family must be crazy to go all out for this treasure!” Everyone complained helplessly. They might be in trouble if the Lamy family insisted on doing it this way. “I know you guys can’t afford it, so stop wasting your time. The Lamy family has made an offer. If you can up the price, go ahead. Don’t stop us from buying that treasure!” the patriarch of the Lamy family said smugly. He felt that his offer was high enough and no one could afford it, so this thing would definitely belong to him. Even Ronan was surprised by this development. He had heard of the Lamy family before. Ronan had worked for the Lamy family before, but their attitude toward him was the same as that of other families—indifferent and disdainful. Therefore, Ronan had the same bad impression about everyone. The Lamy family was not
Rather than saying that they were unwilling to believe it, it was more likely that they did not dare to believe it. Ronan calmly put the ring aside. “I'm wearing a ring that looks better than the ones you're about to get. Watch this.” After saying that, Ronan demonstrated to everyone what a real storage space could do. Anything he took in his hand vanished and appeared at will, which looked simply amazing. Everyone was jealous at this scene. They stared at Ronan’s hands nervously, trying to see if he was performing a magic trick or showing off the storage ring. After Ronan's many demonstrations, they finally confirmed that Ronan was not lying. Everything was true. Everyone exclaimed in amazement. “Wow, I can’t believe that I really saw a storage space in action!” “It’s amazing!” “I have to get hold of one!” Although Sadie had been dealt a heavy blow, she hid in a corner and observed the situation instead of leaving. She wanted to see how things would develop. When S
“Heh, look at those crazy family patriarchs. They can't wait to suck up to Ronan! Do you think they’ll question the Claude family after hearing about the storage space? They’ll only turn up in person to find out about it! “With so many of them putting pressure on us, what do you think we can do? Now, we may not even get that amazing storage space because there are too many people competing with us!” Cameron was furious and almost passed out in anger because of this stupid woman. Sadie scowled at the yard in disbelief as she realized that the crowd causing the commotion was the patriarchs of the other major families. She thought that they were servants sent by the families, but everything was different from what she imagined. “How did this happen? I planned everything perfectly. We just need to throw the wool over their eyes. Things shouldn't have turned out like this!” Sadie almost had a mental breakdown at this bad news. “No way. This is impossible…” Seeing the family
“Forget it. I won't talk to you anymore. I want to claim the credit for what I’ve done!” Sadie quickly turned and left. The butler wanted to stop her, but she vanished before he could say anything. In the end, he remained silent. “The plan really backfired on her. Unfortunately, she can only blame it on her bad luck.” The butler knew the situation the family was facing now. Their residence would probably be turned upside down. The Claude family could have owned a storage space, but everything was ruined now. Not only would they fail to get one, but others would also humiliate them! Sadie quickly arrived at the yard and rolled her eyes at the crowd. “Dad, over here!” Sadie beckoned her father excitedly as if she had great news for him. Cameron was very anxious at this point and wished he could find a solution. When Sadie called him, he thought his solution had appeared. He rushed over and looked at Sadie curiously. “What’s up? Is there any good news?” He was very excited
Everyone was excited to hear that Ronan had those legendary items. It was great. “Our family has to get one!” The patriarch of the Lamy family was the most excited. The members of this family had always been strong-headed and were determined to get it. The other families were unhappy to hear that. They were not that bad either, so they were annoyed by that high-handed remark. “All the major families are powerful in our own rights. I think there’s no need to conclude so quickly.” “I agree. I’m afraid you’ll hide and cry if you fail to get one. That'll be embarrassing.” “Even the major families are not confident about this. Who do you think you are to get it?” Everyone targeted the swell-headed Lamy family even though they were indeed big and powerful enough to steal the treasure from them. The Claude family was the most excited yet regretful. Instead of feeling happy that the families were bickering with each other, they were worried. Although the families were fighting
Besides, Philip mentioned that he would help Ronan make a name for himself. The storage rings that Philip provided were quite meager, with only 30 to 70 cubic feet of storage space each. However, that did not stop Ronan from admiring Philip. He knew that Philip had various treasures, but he was willing to share them with Ronan, which was too generous for words. To prevent Ronan from getting the short end of the stick, Philip also provided some common things for doing business. Due to this, Ronan wanted to serve Philip. In their world, the best way to express gratitude was to acknowledge the other party as their master. It was not only to seize the opportunity but also to find a good roof over their head. Thinking of this, Ronan did not dare to call Philip his brother anymore. Ronan decided to approach Philip at night and find a way to acknowledge him as his master so that he could serve Philip wholeheartedly. Philip had no idea about Ronan’s thoughts. He was still think
Everything Rabbit owned, including the storage space and various treasures, was given by Philip. So, Rabbit could come up with some amazing things for these people to please him. Rabbit felt very proud of this accomplishment. “Ahem, everyone, follow me! I know you’re eager to see Philip, but you have to follow the rules. Don't be as rude as the Claude family!” Rabbit said calmly. He was very unhappy with the Claude family. Hearing that, members of the Claude family were livid. They were shocked by Rabbit's words. He was deliberately putting them down! Those remarks were likely to affect their status among the major families. That off-handed tone might cause other major families to reject them. “I’m surprised that this family would be so arrogant and disrespect you!” “How could they treat that precious storage space so carelessly? I say, those people are too bold to disregard such a valuable treasure!” “This family is stupid and arrogant. Let's ignore them to avoid any ass
However, Cameron and his people were arrogant enough to lock Philip up. How dare they?! “Cameron, you went too far!” “I never knew that the Claude family were such people. I really misjudged you before. You’re really too much for treating such an amazing person that way.” Everyone pretended to be angry and kept speaking up for Philip, trying to please Rabbit and indirectly please Philip. Cameron was startled by Rabbit’s words, which easily landed him in trouble. “No, that's not exactly the case. I didn't lock Philip up but gave him a place to stay. How would I dare to lock up such a powerful person? You really think too highly of me.” However, Cameron’s explanation was useless. Everyone believed that Cameron locked Philip up on purpose, so they wanted to get him into trouble. Whether Cameron locked Philip up or treated Philip as a valuable guest, they wanted to ruin Cameron’s reputation. Once they got rid of Cameron, they could focus on pleasing Philip. “You must be
