“You’re almost in my face. Why are you yelling so loudly? Is there something wrong with your eyes?” Philip sneered before continuing, “I’m the one messing around. What’s the problem?” “I advise you not to be so cocky. You’ll get beaten up like this.” The middle-aged man saw that this man was so arrogant and spoke coldly. The manager hurried up to this man, told him what happened, and was scolded by the boss, “Trash! How dare you believe in magic tricks? You let a beggar into my casino. I think you must be tired of living!” “Boss, please spare my life. I won’t dare to do this anymore!” The manager fell to his knees and begged for mercy. The man kicked the manager away and said, “Hurry up and get out of my sight. Don’t let me see you again.” The two continued to glare at each other, and Philip said, “Where's the money I won?” “What money? You didn’t win any money.” The boss tried to play dirty and said arrogantly, “Don't think that you can win money from me by playing
Philip had long noticed the boss’ movements but did not call him out. Suddenly, a cold light flashed in front of his eyes. With a fierce killing intent, the middle-aged man wanted to stab Philip's eye socket with a dagger. When he thought he was about to succeed, a huge gust of air gushed out from Philip's body, and the man could hardly open his eyes from the huge pressure. When he opened his eyes again, his dagger was firmly clamped by the man in front of him with two fingers. Philip’s hair was all messed up by the strong wind. His eyes pierced into the boss' mind like sharp swords, and his dagger could not break free from that vice-like grip no matter what. “You have no chance. Tell me how you want to deal with this.” As Philip spoke, he took a step forward, grabbed the man by the collar, and lifted him. “M-My father is the leader of Mountain Wolf Squad! You can't do anything to me!” Although the middle-aged man lost his composure, he still tried his best to keep his
The group of people insisted on buying Philip dinner to repay Philip for saving them. Philip tried his best to refuse but to no avail. Carl got anxious in the end before Philip finally agreed. However, Philip detected someone with his senses from the Golden Lotus Casino who had been following them the entire way. It seemed that the boss was unwilling to give up. That so-called Mountain Wolf Squad would probably find trouble with them later. There were five men and three women in this group of nine, and all of them looked quite inexperienced. If Philip were not here, they probably would not have noticed the danger. A quirky little girl in the team kept asking Philip why he did not cut his hair and beard when he was so rich. She was the one who advanced with the help of the stone fruit. Philip finally replied, “I'm afraid you’ll faint from my good looks.” The girl was stunned for a moment before she laughed loudly and said, “Sir, you’re so funny.” Next to her, Carl grabbed
After the meal, Philip left with Carl’s contact details, and the other party returned to the hotel. “Where are you from?” Philip asked loudly. At this time, three people came out of the shadows between the buildings. Philip had seen one of them before. He was one of the captors. “The leader of Mountain Wolf Squad would like to see you. Can you come with us?” Although the man in the middle posed it as a question, he adjusted the gun on his waist, meaning that things would turn rough if Philip refused. Philip felt amused. Among the three, two were in the middle stage of seven stars while the other one was in the early stage of seven stars. It seemed that the power he displayed just now was not a strong enough deterrent. “Lead the way,” Philip said with his hands behind his back. “Okay, you’re smart enough.” The man thought Philip was a fool who had no fear of death and said with a grin. Philip and the three walked out of the building and came to an independent high-rise
The smell of meat permeated the whole room, and those who did not know would think they were having a barbecue. “Damn boy, how dare you?!” the wolfman bared his fangs in pain and glared at Philip as he howled. With the help of his subordinates, the flames were extinguished, but the neatly groomed hair on his body was now scorched and burnt, making him look unkempt. “I’m going to rip you apart!” The wolfman growled and rushed toward Philip again. His sharp claws flashed with cold light as he swiped at Philip’s neck. Seeing this, Caelum Sword flashed with a fiery red as Philip blocked his attack. With a bang, Philip staggered a few steps back, his arms numb from the impact. The wolf was unbothered. A piece of flesh was burned off his arm, but it posed no threat to him. Immediately, he launched a fierce attack on Philip, and the wolfmen gained the upper hand for a while due to their advantage in numbers. On the other hand, Philip resisted in a leisurely manner. He was th
In a mountain forest at this time, the wolfman leaned against a tree and panted heavily. He was almost killed in the fight just now. Even though he ran fast, he was still seriously injured. He could not help the lingering fear at the thought of Philip, wondering how the hell his stupid son offended such a guy. “Damn, I was careless, but where there’s a will, there’s a way. I definitely won’t let him go for messing with me!” the wolfman said coldly. He got up and was about to leave, but in the next second, a leaf pierced through the tree trunk beside him. “You have no chance now. If we were in the city, maybe it’d be inconvenient for me to do anything, but I have no restrictions in this remote place.” At this time, Philip walked over from a distance and said unhurriedly, holding the Caelum Sword in one hand and fiddling with a few leaves in the other. “H-How is this possible? How did you catch up?” At this time, the wolfman looked at Philip oddly. He ran so far, but this g
This incident happened so fast that Philip did not notice it at all. Philip was thinking about some things on the way back. He was thinking about what sort of clothes he wanted to make with this fur. After thinking about it, Philip could not figure it out and simply stopped thinking about it. As Philip pondered, the Caelum Sword in his hand suddenly vibrated. It broke free from his hold and scrawled a few words on the floor. [Just look at Little Kai and then look at you. Do you need to think so long about making some clothes? What a shame.] The writing on the ground made Philip’s mouth twitch. He held his forehead. The sword spirit of Caelum Sword was really naughty. However, he did not think too much about it. He was used to it anyway. What could he do in comparison with Emperor Kai? “Okay, you can give me some advice when the time comes and I’ll follow your idea. After all, you’re a great sword spirit, and even Emperor Kai listens to you, so I believe in your taste.” Ph
Without further ado, the snake rushed at Philip at an extremely fast speed. It arrived in front of Philip in an instant and bit his head. “Have you brushed your teeth?” Philip could not help scowling. He slapped the snake on the forehead, and a burst of energy burst out from the snake's body in an instant. The figure that was more than 30 feet long flew away and smashed several trees before barely coming to a stop. It was covered all over in blood, obviously seriously injured. “How dare you come out and eat people with your skills? I’m speechless.” Philip could not help mocking. Compared to the wolfman earlier, this snake was worse off. With that thought in mind, Philip rushed forward, intending to kill the snake quickly. However, in the next second, there was a whistling sound through the air, and Philip dodged sideways. The next moment, an arrow pierced into the ground beside Philip. “Who’s there?” Philip asked coldly as his eyes swept in the direction of the arrow wi
“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
