Lumi felt nervous at the sight of Philip laughing, but she said no more and simply looked at him. Philip's expression gradually changed from smiling to indifference. “Lumi, you seem to have misunderstood the meaning of submission. If you can't submit to me unconditionally, why would I need you?” Lumi tensed upon hearing this. She opened her mouth but could not utter a word. Everyone around looked at Lumi silently, but no one dared to intervene. Even Portia did not transmit her voice to Lumi anymore. She could not decide on Lumi’s behalf. Philip looked at Lumi indifferently. “You have two choices now. One, forget everything, sign a contract with me, and obey me unconditionally from now on. Two, you die. “I won’t allow a talent with great potential to go back and stand against me. Only a fool will do that.” Hearing that, Lumi said without hesitation, “I submit!” Philip's expression relaxed slightly. He glanced at her and said, “Let’s sign the contract, then.” With t
Portia immediately understood Philip's meaning. She took two steps forward, raised her head slightly to look at Philip, and said calmly, “Mayor, please take care of me from now on.” Philip smiled and formed the contract again, similar to the earlier process. Then, he turned to Verdant and the others calmly. “Okay, can we have a chat now?” Verdant was just about to speak when a figure in a golden robe ran over from a distance with a smile on his face, looking at Philip. “Hello, Philip. Let me introduce myself. I’m Renault, a revived sealed talent of the Beelzebub royal family. I was ordered to come to protect you, but judging from the current situation, you don’t seem to need me anymore. The Beelzebub royal family has underestimated you and your opponents.” Renault's tone seemed a little enthusiastic, and Philip could not help raising his eyebrows in amusement. Renault was quite the sweet-talker. He had elevated Philip’s status in just a few sentences, and at the same time
Hearing this, Renault looked at Philip and said with a smile, “Philip, the patriarch wants to speak to you.” Philip was taken aback and frowned. Reinhart was about to step into the holy tier. Although Philip was famous now, he was not at the level where he could have a private conversation with Reinhart yet. It was interesting that Reinhart made this approach. After thinking about it, Philip nodded and took the communicator. “Hello, Patriarch,” Philip said calmly. A light voice came from the other end of the communicator, “I’ll leave Renault in your good hands. In a few days, I’ll ask Regus to look for you too. I won’t stop the resources that they should be getting. At the same time, I can also provide you with some resources or even some ancient ruins, but I have two requests.” Philip could not help being surprised. Although Reinhart's tone was domineering, his proposal was beneficial to Philip. Thinking of this, Philip calmly replied, “Please go ahead, Patriarch. “F
Verdant said, “I can sign a contract with you, and I can even find my own practice resources. I just want to ask you one question. When we confront the royal families, whose side will you take?” After reaching nine stars, the desire for normal practice resources would reduce. Instead, they needed more things that could help them comprehend and control the power of the laws. Based on their personal abilities, it would not be very difficult to obtain some practice resources for their personal use. Philip smiled and said, “Isn't your main purpose to deal with the nine royal families? In that case, why do you need to ask this question?” Philip had never taken the nine royal families seriously before. In his opinion, the nine royal families might be out of reach now, but one day, Philip would leave them to bite the dust. They were nothing more than a stepping stone for him. If the White Marsh and Beelzebub royal families deliberately stood against him, Philip would definitely atta
Portia fell silent. If that was the case, they could consider giving it a go. Nixon added, “It also seems that the competition rules for the stone of path order have changed this year. If we can gain an allocation, it’ll be a great help to us! Philip, do you dare to compete with the nine royal families and the ancient Heavenly Court?” Nixon looked at Philip fixedly, his eyes impassive and emotionless. Verdant understood Nixon's intention. It was a test! Philip looked thoughtful. He had no idea what the stone of path order was. Thinking of this, Philip sent his thoughts into Verge Tower where the big roc was. “Big Roc, do you know what the stone of path order is?” Although Kane and Haley were not from small forces, those were not considered big forces either. They might not be aware of this. The big roc was dozing with its eyes closed. Hearing this, it opened its eyes and looked at Philip doubtfully. “Why are you asking this?” Philip told the big roc what happened ou
At this point, the laws of earth posed no difficulty for Philip because there was a forbidden area containing the laws of earth in Big Dipper City, which should be able to help in his comprehension. However, he could not say the same for the laws of metal. ‘If I can comprehend the laws of metal through the stone of path order, the laws of five elements should be a success,” Philip thought. After that, Philip looked at the big roc and said with a smile, “Thank you, Big Roc. I need to go now.” The big roc nodded and closed its eyes again without further comment. The conversation between Philip and the big roc only took a few seconds. After Philip returned to his senses, he smiled and said, “If you want to see if I dare to develop my forces under the noses of the nine royal families and compete with them, I think you can give it a rest.” Nixon’s heart sank, thinking that Philip was going to refuse. The people around them relaxed noticeably. In their opinion, Philip's safety wa
In the meeting hall of the white tiger royal family, Patriarch Oslo was speaking to the elders under his command in a low voice. Several people walked into the hall slowly, their eyes cold and indifferent with a trace of sarcasm. Patriarch Oslo stopped talking, frowning as he looked at those people. “What are you guys doing here? Since all of you are talents, you should stay in your rooms and focus on your practice!” The hall fell into silence at Patriarch Oslo’s words. Everyone looked at the talents in wonder. The talents raised their heads, and the leader was Jay! Jay smiled a little mockingly and said, “Are we not allowed to attend a meeting of the Oslo family?” Patriarch Oslo frowned. Strictly speaking, they did have the right to attend the family meeting. Patriarch Oslo thought about it and said indifferently, “Of course, you’re allowed to attend, but we’re just discussing some trivial matters now, so we won’t take up your time.” “You have a point, but I think yo
Patriarch Oslo's pupils constricted as he looked at the white tigers in front of him. The corner of his mouth twitched uncontrollably as he scowled darkly. “Tyrone, are you going to meddle in the affairs of the Oslo family?” Tyrone White was the current patriarch of the White family. Hearing Patriarch Oslo's words, Tyrone raised his head and glanced lazily at Patriarch Oslo. “I don't really want to get involved, but I can't stop these little guys from doing it. As you know, the White family takes pride in bloodlines, and some of these little guys have stronger bloodlines than mine, so I have to help them. I don’t want to fight you, so you should just do as they say.” Patriarch Oslo grimaced. The thing he was most worried about still happened in the end. The talents had joined forces with the White family to turn against him! Patriarch Oslo took a deep breath and looked at Jay. He knew that he had to take care of Jay and the others to resolve this problem. “Jay, I don’
