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
This person’s face was obscured by black strips of cloth, which made him look very strange, but from his figure and general appearance, he was most likely local. “Who are you?” Philip asked coldly. The other party did not reply but drank his wine, looking at Philip with a contemptuous smile at the same time. “So it’s you. This is really not worth my time, but since I'm here, let me tell you that you’re too weak to even be called trash!” The man in black said lightly before his figure disappeared in a flash. “You want to leave? How can it be so easy? How dare you leave after putting on a show like that?” Philip snorted coldly. He did not say anything before because he wanted this guy to say his piece. Who knew that this guy would run after saying that? Philip chased after him without further ado and struck him. The latter quickly dodged but still got hit. With a bang, the latter fell from the air and disappeared, not even leaving behind a speck of dust. “This is the ou
