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
Wilmer took the document folder while Philip and the others stood beside Linus without looking at it. After that, they saw the anger that had disappeared from Wilmer's eyes slowly burning again. The anger grew more intense, and even his energy became a little unstable. After a while, Wilmer raised his head, and his confident voice became a little hoarse. “Linus, is the information in this document all true?” Linus nodded firmly and said, “Elder, you should know my character. Although I’m not a good person, the Page family has contributed a lot to the development of Asteroid City until this day, and we hold much affection for this city too.” Hearing this, Wilmer took a deep breath. He turned to Philip and said solemnly, “Philip? Does your condition just now still count?” “Of course!” Philip said without hesitation. He had lost all hope that Wilmer would make a move and planned to subdue him directly. He did not expect Linus to come forward with information that overturned
Before Diggory finished speaking, Wilmer slapped him hard on the face. The anger that was suppressed to the extreme exploded in an instant. Diggory was sent flying by that smack and fell hard to the floor in front of everyone. “You didn’t do any of these, huh? Then tell me why every piece of information in this document points to you and your Lew family? “I may be a little muddle-headed sometimes, but I’m not stupid! I watched you grow up? You wouldn’t do such a thing? Do you really think I don't know how many times your father has wiped your ass?! “How dare you send me a message for me to come here?” Wilmer got angrier as he spoke. He walked up to Diggory, lifted him with one arm, and slapped the man angrily. Diggory's head swung to one side as blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. He looked at Wilmer in horror. “I really didn't do it, Mr. Wilmer. You have to believe me! I'm not that kind of person!” Wilmer was so angry he laughed instead before slapping Diggory a
“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
