Philip grabbed the man and landed slowly on the ground. At this time, Scarface was devoid of his previous arrogance. His legs shook like jelly, and a stream of yellow liquid flowed out from the hem of his trousers. “Tell your men to stop and take me to your boss,” Philip said coldly. After some arrangements, Scarface changed into a pair of pants and led Philip to a black hover car. Soon, they came to a private residential area, and the car stopped outside a villa surrounded by strange rocks. Ignoring Scarface’s objection, Philip pushed open the two security doors and walked in. With his senses, he detected eight people on the second floor—four sitting on the sofa and the remaining four standing aside as if discussing something. After hearing the noise from downstairs, those people standing hurried down. Seeing a stranger barging in, the four immediately tried to take Philip down. All four were in the late stage of six stars, so they were not too bad. Philip weaved through
After the car had gone far, Philip put a hood over the boss’ head and walked to Jack and Jess’ house. “Philip, you’re back!” Jack opened the door for Philip before he turned and called out to Jess, “Jess, I told you Philip will be able to help!” The siblings led Philip into the house, only to find a man with a cloth bag over his head following behind him. “Who’s this?” Jess asked. “Don't worry about it. Is there someone more influential in this area?” Philip asked. “Yes, of course!” Jack replied quickly. Seeing that Jack was about to blurt out the man's name, Philip put his hand over his mouth. “Shush.” He glanced at the person wriggling to and fro beside him. Jack understood instantly, and Philip said, “Take me to him.” On the way, Philip took off the boss' communicator. To prevent the GPS function, Philip turned it off and put it into his space ring. Jack took Philip to an old house at the end of the village that looked fortified with defense equipment. He p
Before leaving, Philip came to the dimly lit room and said to the boss sitting in the corner, “As long as you cooperate, you’ll be fine.” After a few more reminders, Jack and Philip returned home. It was getting late. Philip called the siblings to the only table, took out a photo of their family of four, and handed it to Jess. Jess was stunned for a while before she burst into tears with the photo in both hands. Jack stepped forward to comfort his sister and also saw the photo. Although Jack was young, he understood the significance of finding this photo, so he burst into tears too. The siblings hugged each other and sobbed bitterly. Philip looked at the two who only had each other to depend on for the rest of their lives and did not know how to comfort them for a while, so he just watched and waited for them to calm down. Jess stopped crying first and asked Philip with red eyes, “Did you find the remains of my parents?” As she spoke, she sobbed again. Philip nodded. Af
Then, he said seriously, “If you want to repay your benefactor with this method, it’ll only cheapen you and your benefactor at the same time.” The girl lowered her head and did not speak for a long time. Philip patted her on the head and said, “Never do such a stupid thing again, no matter who it is—unless you meet someone worth entrusting your life to for the rest of your life.” “Can’t you be the one?” the girl asked with wide eyes. “Uh, another girl has entrusted her life to me.” Philip smiled and said, “What you need to do now is to take good care of yourself and your brother. When your brother grows up, you can leave this place too.” “Yeah.” The girl was a little lost. Walking to the window, Philip stared at the moon outside the rust-stained window for a while and said to the girl behind him, “You should go back to sleep.” Soon, Philip heard the sound of the door closing. Early the next morning, Philip left without saying goodbye and only left a short letter. He a
There was a huge venue similar to Square Cage that caught Philip's attention—a robot battle. A huge screen introduced the contestants in a loop. This was the first time Philip saw this kind of venue. It piqued his interest, so he bought a ticket and went in. As soon as he entered, he saw a row of damaged robots. According to the venue’s introduction, as long as a robot was good enough, it could even be used as a mass-produced robot on the battlefield. It seemed that this sort of venue was available in every city. Following a robot’s direction, Philip came to the auditorium. The next two robots due for the next match were being tested. The seats weren’t filled yet, so this should not be an important match. After waiting for about half an hour, the match started per schedule, and the two robots went into the square cage. This battle was very simple with no gorgeous moves. The robots were designed to use all their strength to blast the opponent into pieces. However, judg
This also led to a great increase in the labor force in society. People did not have to work but simply left it to the robots at home. Philip lamented that the gap between the rich and the poor was not so big here, and traces of happiness could be found on the faces of people on the street. However, if that was the case, such a good thing should be promoted across all continents, so why was it not? After finding a tour guide robot, Philip expressed his doubts. The robot replied, “The green ox royal family actively reformed because this place was in an infinite crisis. Other royal families including the upper echelons rejected this reform because it would destroy their collective interests, so they joined forces and collectively boycotted the robots produced by the green ox royal family on the grounds that they were trying to use robots to rule over the continents.” “What crisis?” Philip asked. To Philip’s surprise, the robot warned Philip, “Insufficient authority, consultat
Seeing that Philip was an imposing young man, this person said quite politely, “We’ve already issued a war notice. Why are you here with your hover car?” Philip did not receive any notice, so he took out his temporary pass and replied, “I just arrived here yesterday. I’m not a local.” Seeing this, the officer asked his subordinates to take Philip to make a statement before letting him go. A brown-haired female officer who was five feet nine and wearing a dark gray combat uniform brought Philip to make a statement. This person had exotic features. “You can leave after making a statement. Do you need someone to lead you out of this area?” the female officer said. Feeling the pressure around, Philip shook his head and said, “That's not necessary. I can still protect myself.” The following routine questions included his name, where he came from, what his occupation was, and what he was doing on the fifth continent. Before Philip finished answering patiently, the battleship sh
“You should reconsider. You have great potential,” the woman tried to persuade Philip. Philip thought to himself, ‘Are the people of this battle group selected this way?’ After shooting down a few enemy planes, the first wave of offensive launched by the two parties ended, and the opponent’s remaining aircraft retreated. As survivors, Philip's aircraft also flew back. However, the situation was not optimistic. One battleship of the green ox royal family made an emergency landing while another one out of three had a hull billowing with thick smoke. There were few surviving aircraft here, and it was likely that everyone would be wiped out in the next wave of attack. In the command room, a middle-aged man with gray sideburns said, “In the next wave, we’ll send all the flying robots through the forest and catch them by surprise.” “But we don’t have enough manpower for the maintenance,” a young man next to him said. The middle-aged man pondered before asking, “When will reinfo
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
