[Run!] Although it was just one word, no one else but Philip could have reacted so quickly at this time. When Philip finally stood steady, he saw long-awaited sunshine. This must be the other side of the space gate, a one-way teleportation portal with only one chance to use it. Philip realized that this was the same place he had arrived in. This should be the upper floor. An electronic key appeared out of thin air in his hand, but he did not recognize this key. However, he knew that as long as he inserted the electronic key into his communicator, he would know all the information about the key. The difference this time was that Philip now had a special pass. Although his appearance was very abrupt and many patrol mechas came forth to question him, they immediately relaxed when Philip showed them his special pass. After all, people with a special pass had extraordinary identities that patrols like them had no right to question. Philip looked at his surroundings. The
“Why? Why make us leave our homes?” “This place was left to us by the hero back then. Just because Starfire Alliance wants to build a base here, you’re going to chase the descendants of the hero away from here?” Philip frowned. He did not know what had happened, but from their conversation, he discerned something. Starfire Alliance wanted to occupy this land and make them move away. However, he had no idea what the so-called descendants of the hero meant. In this current situation, he could not go over and ask either. “What bullsh*t hero are you talking about? If you didn’t have Starfire Alliance to develop various defense systems, you’d have died in the previous turmoil. How dare you speak to me about that useless hero now?” The woman spoke without courtesy, and her words aroused fierce disapproval from these people. “If there was no former hero, how could there be your so-called Starfire Alliance now?” Questions were thrown out, and the woman scowled angrily. The
Philip had just received the key, and there might be clues left by his mother hidden in this house, so there was no way he would allow them to destroy it. Philip quickly used his earth element to build an earth wall right in front of the house. Although this method blocked Starfire Alliance's attack, it also angered that woman. “I really didn't expect that someone from Montana Alliance would dare to oppose Starfire Alliance. In that case, I don’t have to hold back anymore!” After saying this, she was about to rush toward Philip. He felt a strong fluctuation of the water element from her. Several water jets gushed out next to the woman like water dragons and pierced through the earth wall. They circled around and swirled toward Philip. Seeing this, Philip's face turned cold. He could see that this woman went all out with this move. He decided not to hold back either. In that case, everyone would go all out! Water dragons also appeared beside Philip, swirling toward tha
Philip knew that since the other party could say that in front of everyone without hesitation, it meant he had noticed something special about Philip. Philip replied blandly, “I never said that I was a member of Montana Alliance.” Hearing that, everyone looked at Philip warily because the only other people here were those from Starfire Alliance. Philip looked at Elder Whitmore. He could not explain himself either. Elder Whitmore said to Philip, “Then who are you? And why did you come to Montana Alliance?” Although he spoke the words slowly, his tone was heavy. Obviously, if Philip could not give Elder Whitmore a reasonable explanation, something would happen. Philip said softly, “I came here from the forbidden abyss through a portal. If my guess is correct, this place should be related to my mother!” Hearing that, Elder Whitmore’s expression changed. “Did you say your mother?” Not only Elder Whitmore but the others were also surprised. Everyone was taken aback and
Looking at the room and furnishings, Philip sighed heavily. Everything seemed so familiar yet far away. Philip touched everything one by one. There were many nostalgic things around, such as an old record player. Philip wiped the player gently and put a record on it. He felt very close to everything here without any sense of unfamiliarity at all, and Elder Whitmore sighed softly at this sight. “It seems that you have an affinity with this place, but I have to explain some things to you. If you want to gain a foothold on the upper floor, look for me at Montana Alliance.” After Elder Whitmore finished speaking, he gave Philip a card. Philip looked at the card without speaking and just took it. Elder Whitmore left and closed the door behind him. Philip started digging around, trying to find some clues about his mother. However, he only found some traces of daily activities here and no clues at all. Moreover, maybe due to the room being closed off for many years, there was
Elder Whitmore's face darkened. For a person with an unknown identity to make such a request, Elder Whitmore could not help but wonder. However, Elder Whitmore suddenly changed the subject and said, “Starfire Alliance isn’t a big problem, so you don’t have to worry about it. Why don't you just stay here at Montana Alliance and get familiar with this place first?” Elder Whitmore spoke very naturally as if he did not care about Philip’s identity at all. However, Philip knew that the other party clearly doubted his identity and wanted to restrict his movements within Montana Alliance. Even so, Philip decided to go with the flow. Besides, Philip had to gain a better understanding of the upper floor too, so he was not concerned about this arrangement. “In that case, I’ll accept your kindness.” Without further ado, Philip was prepared to stay in Montana Alliance, but Elder Whitmore was obviously worried about Philip and deliberately arranged for someone to keep an eye on him.
The man looked at Philip doubtfully and said, “Do you know how powerful the people of Starfire Alliance are? Even the top experts on our side can barely maintain a tie with them.” Philip merely smiled. “I think I can give it a try. If I can deal with them, it won't be too late to tell them that I’m from Montana Alliance. If not, they won’t know any better. Either way, there’s no harm. What do you think, Elder Whitmore?” Philip tossed the ball to Elder Whitmore’s court, knowing that Elder Whitmore wanted to take this opportunity to test his skills. If he was strong enough, the other party would actively recruit him. If not, the other party might even kick him out. Perhaps out of respect, he would let Philip leave of his own accord. Philip had realized the other party’s intentions, but he could not care less. It so happened that he would be able to see what the herb was and also get an initial estimate of the strength of these people on the upper floor. Elder Whitmore narro
Seeing someone in their way, Commander Graham immediately shouted, “Who dares to interfere in the business of Starfire Alliance?!” Philip grinned at Commander Graham. “We just parted ways not long ago, but you’ve already forgotten me.” Philip's tone sounded a little frivolous as if he was teasing Commander Graham. How could Commander Graham lose her dignity in front of her subordinates? “So it’s you, you reckless fool. Get out of the way, or I’ll make you.” Commander Graham’s face was frosty. Such friction and probing were not uncommon on the upper floor. Philip said, “It's impossible for me to get out of the way, but if you want to have your way with me, I don’t mind.” If it was just a hint of teasing just now, but it was blatant provocation now. Hearing that, everyone on Montana Alliance’s side burst into laughter. Of course, Philip did it on purpose. He was not such a frivolous person but just wanted to infuriate this woman. His purpose was to get Starfire Alli
“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
