“How is it possible? How can you still move freely?” The woman looked at Philip in disbelief. She had used this method no less than dozens of times and had never missed. Why did she fail now? She had stolen a lot of good stuff with this method and escaped unscathed every time. That was why she could wear branded clothes as a thief. They were easy pickings! “Nothing is impossible. Your mistake was bumping into me. And now I’m curious. Why did you take this token?” Philip asked, puzzled. He had many good things on him, so why did this woman take this token given by Sophie? Was there anything special about it? “Cut the crap and kill me if you want. I won’t tell you anything!” The woman looked at Philip and said coldly, looking as if she was resigned to her death, but Philip was in no rush upon seeing this. He struck the woman on her chest, and energy poured into the latter’s body in an instant. The woman promptly realized that she could not utilize her elemental power now.
At this time, the little white cat looked at Philip curiously before it jumped from his shoulder to his hand. It looked at the wound and shook its head, and a puzzled look crossed its eyes. It stuck out its tongue and tentatively licked the wound. In the next second, its eyes lit up as if it had eaten something delicious. It started to frantically lick Philip's palm. Philip looked down at the strange touch and was confused by the little white cat’s action. What was that little thing doing, eating poison? “What the heck? Don’t poison yourself to death.” Philip exclaimed and tried to push the cat aside, but he was stunned the next second. He found that his wound had healed and the poison had disappeared completely as if nothing had ever happened before. “Did the little thing do this?” Philip looked at the little white cat that was still unsatisfied and felt doubtful. This was his first encounter. After all, even if there was an antidote, it was impossible to recover so qu
“Who dares to kill my grandson? They’ll pay for this!” The old man said coldly, and a murderous aura made everyone around him breathless. “Send someone to keep an eye on the major ports and find the murderer. Find the two useless men too and feed them to the dogs!” The old man said coldly, and a group of people left the manor. Philip had no idea about this. He was still chatting with Dion and Laurie leisurely. Dion was not interested in Philip but rather in Philip's little white cat, and Philip had a flash of inspiration. “Why don’t I appoint you as a poop-shoveling officer and you can help me raise this cat?” Philip spoke, and Dion was taken aback when she heard that. “What post is a poop-shoveling officer?” As Dion had never set foot in the mundane world since she was a child, she was not familiar with modern popular terminology. She asked Laurie beside her, but she had no idea as well. “Uh, don't worry about such details. This cat is yours now, but I have a request
“I’m curious to know who you are. Why did you follow me as soon as I got off the ship? If you want me to go with you, shouldn't you announce yourself first?” Philip asked lightly, and his calm demeanor startled them. “Kid, you should know the answer. You killed the young master of our family. Of course, we’ll keep an eye on you. As for who we are, you’ll know after you come with us. Don't worry, we won't kill you!” The leader said, and a slender whip with sharp barbs appeared in his hand. If he hit someone, he could definitely tear off a piece of flesh from the other party. “Okay then, I'll go with you.” Philip said indifferently. He was quickly surrounded and led in one direction. He got into a car that finally stopped after a long time. Philip got out of the car and looked around. It was a modern manor with a stone signboard at the door with the words ‘the Finn family’. It was very grand but nothing more than that. “The Finn family. Is the person I killed a member of th
Seeing this, Philip dared not let his guard down. Caelum Sword came out of its sheath in an instant and fought with the four short sticks. With a bang, a flame flashed in the hall, and the ground under Philip's feet exploded. “What mighty strength!” Philip frowned. He had underestimated these two women. Philip's arm was slightly numb from the impact, but that was all. Philip retracted Caelum Sword and kicked one of them. The latter raised a short stick in a block. With a bang, Philip sent her flying with a kick. Before Philip pulled his leg back, another woman at the side threw a whip kick directly at Philip, which carried a strong fire elemental aura on it. Philip raised his arm in a block. With a bang, Philip was kicked out of the hall and staggered a dozen steps back before he steadied himself. At this time, the clothes on his arms had long been burned to ashes. “Another shirt is ruined. You have to pay for this!” Philip looked at his clothes and muttered ruefully. P
“You think too highly of yourself!” The old man sneered as if he could already see Philip’s death. “I’ll beat you to death today to avenge my grandson!” As the old man said that, green rays of light burst out from his eyes, and bursts of lightning flowed on the long stick in his hand. In a flash, the old man appeared in front of Philip. Seeing this, Philip struck out without reservation as the old man swung his stick at Philip. In an instant, a dazzling light burst into the sky above the manor. A few seconds later, the light dissipated. Philip and the old man took a few steps back, both looking a little disheveled. Philip was still okay, but his clothes were unsightly after the fight, and the old man was bleeding from all his orifices, looking a little pathetic. “How is it possible? Who are you? Why do you have such strong star-level talent?” The old man looked at Philip in shock. He thought Philip was just an overconfident kid and did not expect him to be so strong.
The head of the Finn family was killed, and not even a corpse remained, so who would want to mess with Philip now? If they stopped Philip now, they would not be messing with him but seeking death! However, Philip was unaware that after he left, the woman holding her sister's body looked at his departing back and the murderous intent in her eyes increased instead of diminished. “I’ll definitely kill you and avenge my sister!” The woman mumbled under her breath and left with her sister's body in her arms. As for where she went, no one knew. Meanwhile, Philip returned to the hotel. Laurie and Dion were practicing, so Philip did not disturb them. He returned to the room and found that the female thief was writing something. Philip approached her and could not help his mouth from twitching after taking a look. This thief was actually writing a diary, full of thoughts on how to kill him. The entries were very detailed with many methods and backup plans. “This person is a genius
While talking and joking, the group of four arrived at a restaurant with many people inside, seemingly very lively. Philip sat in a remote corner and ordered some food. After all, they were not here to enjoy but for the Heroes Conference, so no one minded. Moreover, Philip was here for another reason, which was to investigate the situation. People from different walks of life mingled in the restaurant, so maybe he could get some information. “Isn’t the food you ordered a bit too simple? It’s all vegetables. Do you think we’re rabbits?” Dion said in a huff, and Philip was speechless. “Uh, if you’re a rabbit, am I a wolf? You should watch your words around a wolf,” Philip teased. Laurie could not help laughing when she heard that, and Dion pouted. “You, a wolf? You look more like a creep,” Dion said angrily as she petted the cat. The food was served soon, but Philip had no intention of eating. Instead, he was listening to the voices from a private room next door. “I bel
“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
