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
While thinking, Philip looked for the voice in front and walked over to see if it was Dion. However, after walking for a long time, he found that the sound was still far away from him, and he seemed to be walking on the same spot. This shocked Philip. What was wrong with him? After walking for a while longer, Philip decided to stay put. There was no point in walking further, and Philip felt as if he was trapped in an illusion at this time, but he did not encounter any strange things. How did he enter the illusion in the first place? Who did this to him? Could it be that strange guy in cloth strips? Had Philip not killed him? “You guessed it right, but there’s no reward.” A familiar voice sounded. The surrounding environment became clear, and a figure appeared not far from Philip in the next second. He was none other than the guy who was drinking and taunting Philip earlier, and as expected, this guy was still alive. “You had already cast the illusion when I attacked
However, that was all, and nothing else happened. Not to mention a way out, but there was not even a ripple. “Damn it!” Philip could not help swearing at this sight. He crossed his arms and started thinking. It seemed that he could not rely on his strength now and could only wait. Meanwhile, in a mountain forest outside, Philip stood quietly in an open space. There was a handprint on the ground, which was obviously done by him. “Are you still resisting? But what else can you do to a surreal illusion like this?” The man with cloth strips looked at Philip and sneered as he held a golden token in hand. This token was obviously the one given to Philip by Sophie earlier, and the man was very interested in it. “The lad who can make that woman take the initiative to give him the token is nothing to shout about.” The man muttered as he fidgeted with the token before putting it away. He was about to leave. He had lost interest in Philip because, in his opinion, Philip was alread
“Unrepentant fool!” Laurie snorted coldly and slashed the cold light in her hand at the opponent. In an instant, the whole mountain forest was filled with killing intent. Meanwhile, in Philip's illusion, the sky suddenly changed drastically. The cold wind howled as if welcoming a brewing storm, which made Philip a little confused. “Why is the weather in this illusion so unstable? What’s happening?” Philip muttered, wondering where to find a place to shelter from the rain, but after searching for a long time, he could not find one, so he simply stopped. “It seems that the change in the weather is related to the outside world. If I’m in an illusion, where is my real body now?” Philip muttered. He felt that his consciousness should be trapped in an illusion, not his body. However, if that were true, it would be dangerous because even a passerby could kill him! Thinking of this, Philip could not calm down anymore. If he did not die in the hands of the strong but was slaughter
Philip felt as if someone touched him and immediately touched his shoulder. He felt a delicate hand as if it belonged to a woman. “Did a woman find me? What if she thinks that I’m handsome and has thoughts about me?” Philip could not help his thoughts running wild. In the next second, his body was pulled violently, and he fell to the ground in an unsteady heap. There seemed something strange under his body. It was soft and comfortable. “Isn't this going a little too fast?” Philip was a little stunned, but what he did not know was that the man was about to attack him just now, and Laurie pulled him, resulting in his unsteady balance and causing him to pin Laurie on the ground. “Philip.” Laurie looked at Philip on top of her and could not help blushing. A strange feeling came over her, but before she could think about it, there was another gust of wind. Laurie quickly pulled Philip and dodged it. The hook gouged a deep pit in the ground, still exuding a trace of heat. “
