The Page family was quite a big family in Asteroid City and even had a say within the upper echelons. When Philip found out about this, he looked at Jonas. Philip never realized that Jonas was a rich kid. The Page family occupied a huge land area, and the architectural style was quite classic. Two five-star guards stood at the door, which displayed the strength of the Page family. Philip could not help but look at Jonas curiously. “Jonas, you should have nothing to worry about growing up in such a family. Why did you leave in the first place?” Jonas was silent for a moment, nostalgia and helplessness in his eyes—as well as a hint of guilt. “It’s because of my practice.” Jonas sighed. “My family doesn’t allow me to practice Fortuna fortune telling. I insist on practicing it, so I had to leave the family.” Philip was startled and confused. Logically speaking, there was no reason to stop Jonas. Fortuna fortune telling was very mysterious. Why not pass on this technique? Phil
Philip finally understood why Jonas’ family did not allow him to learn fortune telling. With this example, who would dare to let their children and grandchildren learn this skill? If Philip were in the same shoes, he would not agree either. “I see,” Philip said with a sigh. Jonas said no more but walked quickly to his father, wanting to help him. Linus seemed to sense Jonas' movements and stopped in place, waiting for his son's arrival. He held no hatred or resentment for his son, only heartache. Soon, Jonas came to his side and supported him. With tears in his eyes, he said, “Dad, I'm back.” “Welcome home,” Linus responded simply. “Do you have friends with you?” As if aware of Philip and the others, Linus asked. “Yes,” Jonas said without hesitation. Linus paused and said, “Ask your friends to come in. I have something to ask that man too.” Jonas was startled and had a hint of doubt in his eyes but said, “Okay.” Philip walked forward, supported Jonas' father
Linus did not beat about the bush and said, “Indeed, I lost my eyes because of fortune telling. When Jonas was nine years old, I had a whim to predict his future, and that prediction totally blinded me. I saw a secret that I shouldn't have seen.” The muscles on Linus' face twitched as if he was grimacing, and there was also a sense of helplessness and loneliness. Philip chose to remain silent, waiting for Linus to continue. “The prediction stated that ‘the Fortuna shall follow the visitor with the last name Clarke, the crisis of the Page family will be resolved. This son shall turn to dust. By helping this son, holiness can be expected.’” Hearing this prediction, Philip had a guess in his mind, but he did not speak. Linus said, “Do you know what I think about this prediction? “A person with the last name Clarke will come to the Page family, which specializes in Fortuna fortune telling. Since the prediction was made for my son, he’ll follow you when you arrive. The crisis of
An angry voice sounded at the entrance of the Page family's residence. “Linus, you old man, get out here! Who the hell told you not to vote for me? Do you really think your Page family is what it used to be and you don’t have to take anyone else seriously?” “Get out here at once or I’ll massacre your entire Page family today!” Linus took a deep breath. Trouble had arrived. Linus recognized the person who spoke. His name was Diggory, a nine-star powerhouse who grew up relying on his father. He was not very strong, but he had the backing of someone Linus could not afford to mess with. It was a pseudo holy being who controlled four paths. Based on the current categorization, they were at level four of the pseudo holy tier. This person alone was enough to destroy the whole Page family! On the other hand, Philip's face turned cold. He definitely wanted to protect Jonas. Jonas would be of great help to him in the future, and Philip was well aware of this. Moreover, the pr
Philip had comprehended the laws. Even though he used ordinary moves, they became extraordinary as a result of the laws. The surrounding energy poured into Caelum Sword, making it more vibrant. The next moment, Caelum Sword glowed with a green luster. Dozens of wind blades with immense power appeared above the sword energy. Boom! The two men who rushed toward Philip were hit by that energy. Their clothes were ripped apart, and numerous wounds appeared all over their bodies. Many women who saw this scene could not help closing their eyes. Pained expressions appeared on the faces of the two, and they clearly sensed that their energy was being absorbed by the Caelum Sword. The wind blades exploded with terrifying lethality. In just a few seconds, they could not bear it any longer and collapsed. Screams resounded in all directions, and everyone looked at this scene in astonishment. Diggory was petrified, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes. “W-Who the hell is this
Everyone looked at Philip with pity and sympathy. In their opinion, Philip was doomed. Haley, Jonas, and the others came out of the Page family's residence. After seeing this scene, Jonas' expression changed, and he quickly appeared beside Philip. “Mayor, this is bad. You should leave now! There’s a high-level pseudo holy being in Asteroid City, who's also the founder of the mecha unit in Asteroid City. He hates it most when someone destroys his mecha.” Philip frowned. As he was about to speak, Diggory said, “Hahaha, you’re dead! Just you wait!” Suddenly, a roar sounded from the east of Asteroid City. “Who destroyed my mecha?!” A tremendous aura followed, and half of Asteroid City turned red. Philip scowled darkly. He sensed the power of that aura. “This is getting dangerous.” Philip took a deep breath. He might have to use a trump card today. Thinking of this, Philip released the pseudo holy mecha beast in Sin Capital. He was here to get the exotic fire, not to
“If you kill me, this mecha beast will self-combust. You can try if you don’t believe me.” Hearing this, Wilmer froze and looked at Philip with dissatisfaction. “Young man, are you threatening me?” Philip nodded and said, “You're right, I am threatening you.” There was an uproar, and everyone looked at Philip in astonishment. They had seen some bold ones before, but not someone who was so unafraid of death! He dared to admit that he was threatening Wilmer to Wilmer’s face! Was this not the typical act of courting death? Wilmer was stunned as he looked at Philip blankly. He had never encountered someone like Philip before. Jonas looked at Philip speechlessly. As time passed, Wilmer’s expression changed rapidly. After a while, he gritted his teeth and asked, “Tell me what you want before you’re willing to give this mecha beast to me.” Philip laughed. Indeed, this old man could tell it was a mecha lifeform. “You have a good eye to tell that this is a mecha beast,
After a while, Wilmer finally spoke with a grimace, “I can't agree to this. Although I can leave Asteroid City at any time, I grew up here, after all. Diggory and his elder are high-level executives of Asteroid City. I can’t put Asteroid City in danger because of my selfish interests, so I can’t agree to this.” Hearing this, the smile on Philip's face brightened. He liked a person with principles and bottom limits. This proved that Wilmer would also be loyal if he chose to help Philip in the end. At least, he would not betray Philip for profit. On the side, Diggory breathed a sigh of relief and said in delight, “Mr. Wilmer, I think you should just kill him! This guy was just saying empty threats just now! Even if the thing is destroyed, it’s no loss. It’s just a mecha beast. Can’t you just make one?” Wilmer glanced at Diggory in exasperation, his eyes full of dissatisfaction. Maybe others could not tell, but he could. This mecha beast had its individual awareness! In other wo
