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
Laurie and the others were waiting for Philip to settle the bill before leaving. Unexpectedly, several strangers walked over, and one of them stared at them with a creepy expression on his face. It immediately made the three women a little disgusted, but they did not say anything because they did not know what these people were doing. “Hey pretty lady, I saw you just now and think we can be good friends. How about it?” The young man looked at Laurie and said with a smile, trying his best to look like a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Laurie frowned. “Sorry, we don't know each other, and I'm not interested in getting to know you,” Laurie said lightly. The young man's face changed when he heard the words. Laurie had obviously insulted him. “Why don’t we get to know each other first? You have nothing to do anyway,” the young man said with a forced smile, and there was a hint of chill in his words. Laurie frowned and slapped the other party. The latter staggered back, which went to
Laurie's strength was really impressive. She was able to take on the young man and his followers, and her skills were more than adept, which showed that she was not using her full strength at all! “I underestimated this woman. She’s so powerful, and I never realized it before. What a shame!” Philip muttered and continued watching the show while snacking. Someone soon appeared beside Philip, twisted his ear, and cursed aloud. “Are you a man? How can you watch my sister fight alone? What if she gets hurt?” “But this matter has nothing to do with me!” Philip shrugged as if he knew nothing about this, and Dion gritted her teeth in anger, wishing she could eat Philip alive. Everything was fine if she did not know about it before, but seeing Philip's expression now, she was absolutely sure that this matter must have something to do with Philip! “Bullsh*t! How does it have nothing to do with you? Even if that’s true, you brought us here, so my sister being harassed does have s
“Maybe not. I think that guy’s a little odd, so it’s not impossible to be afraid.” “I think the other party is up to something. With his strength, I’m sure he can’t be afraid of that guy!” “I don’t know, but I think something is up with that guy’s popcorn. After all, if you think about it, how would a normal person have so many beauties around him? That’s obviously impossible.” Everyone had all sorts of ideas. Philip did not comment but kept staring that the young man who was frowning at Philip while lost in thought. After a long time, the young man finally said, “What are you trying to do? What’s up with the popcorn?” “Nothing’s up. I just want everyone to have some popcorn. Won’t you oblige?” Philip asked evenly. There was no emotion in his words, and everyone was taken aback. “Someone wants to take his women away, and he wants to offer them some popcorn?” “Yeah, is he right in the head?” “Uh, I don't think so. What if he has some tricks up his sleeves?” Many peop
The old man bowed to Philip and refused to get up no matter what Philip said, and Philip could do nothing about it. “My lord, you don’t have to compensate me. It’d be my honor if you can visit my shop more often in the future!” The old man explained, and Philip nodded upon hearing this. Well, it seemed that the old man was frightened out of his wits today, so Philip threw the check on the counter without a word and left with the ladies. They were just out for dinner, and no one expected things to turn out this way, but it did not matter since Philip would not be here for long. Any trouble he caused was fine. As long as he got the Multidew Herb, nothing else mattered to Philip! Philip and the others did not return to the hotel but wandered on the streets instead, buying some things and relaxing. “Say, did you have any idea what happened just now?” Laurie could not help asking, and Philip nodded upon hearing that, not intending to hide it from them. “I did, but I was cu
However, Philip did not call Laurie out on it. After all, this matter had nothing to do with him. If Philip tried to get to the bottom of it, he probably would not find anything out and would be mocked by Dion on top of that. “Okay, I don't know much about these things, so I hope you can help me out by then.” Philip smiled and said to Laurie, who nodded. For some reason, Philip felt that the other party seemed to be blushing! “Is it an illusion?” Philip muttered, but it was not convenient to verify it, so he passed it off as an illusion. However, Philip had to admit that Laurie’s blushing face made Philip's heart flutter a little, but just for a heartbeat. Philip promptly put aside this idea and continued to chat with Laurie. Very soon, they returned to the hotel, and Philip lay on his bed, thinking about something. At this time, the thief looked at Philip with a puzzled look on her face. “Why are you looking at me like that?” Philip asked curiously. The thief was a lit
“That’s right. Everyone is here for the prizes, so we should unite. If we meet each other in the competition, we can hold back a little, as long as it doesn't affect the ranking,” Philip said. Everyone nodded upon hearing that. Humans were creatures of emotions, after all. No matter how grand an event was, everything was rigged behind the scenes. As long as people were present, there must be something behind the scenes, so this was nothing unusual. “In that case, we can be considered allies, but others are probably doing the same too.” Laurie said, and Philip nodded. The Heroes Conference this time had probably attracted many powerful people, and there would be many cliques among them. Whatever they could think of, the other party could definitely think of it too, so they had to take advanced precautions! “Let’s not worry about others. After all, many people have not arrived yet. We don't need to plan ahead. Let’s just take one step at a time and act accordingly,” Laurie said
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
