Very soon, the group of people arrived at the Stein family's residence. They seemed prepared as they had people waiting at the door. “You must be the head of the Skater family. Follow me, please.” The butler, who was at the door, led them into the yard with a smile on his face. Seeing his smile, Lucius became angrier. He had just lost his daughter, but everyone in the Stein family had a bright smile on their face. They were obviously laughing at him! Lucius trembled all over and was so angry that he almost passed out. He was an expert in the late stage of the fourth zone and would soon reach the fifth zone after putting in some hard work to get to the peak. He should be admired by everyone, but the other party was laughing at him instead. Very soon, the butler led the Skater family into a spacious living room. He bowed slightly and turned to leave with a smile on his face. “Damn it, they're going too far!” “I think so too! How can they treat us this way despite knowin
Preston thought he was doing good for mankind. The patients who had suffered for many years became much better after his treatment. It not only trained his medical skills and mental state but also accumulated merit for his family. “How could a practitioner get sick? That’s ridiculous!” “If you can treat practitioners, why do you still treat ordinary people? What benefit does it bring to you?” Audrey cursed loudly as if she wanted to pick a fight with Preston. Douglas stopped Preston from retaliating. It was unbecoming to argue with such a woman. “Why are you here today?” Douglas walked to the living room and sat down unceremoniously. Preston had told him everything about Celia, and he was very clear about this matter. It was a small matter to take the blame for this incident. They had long wanted to deal with this family anyway. “Your family better give us a reasonable explanation for what happened to my daughter,” Lucius said seriously. He must get some benefits
“The Skater family is really ignorant. You took the lead and obtained a technique ages ago, but the level of your strength is still so low. Do I have to tell you how you managed to level up?” Douglas said coldly. Ever since he read the booklet his son got from Philip by accident, his understanding of medicine had increased significantly. He had been stuck in the middle stage of the sixth zone for a long time. This time, he felt as if he was about to level up, so he was in a very happy mood. “Douglas, let’s put things out in the open. This matter wasn't done by you guys, right? Tell me who the real culprit is and I’ll forgive you for what you did,” Lucius said smugly. In fact, he had guessed that the Stein family did not do this. They admitted it so quickly because they wanted to hide the identity of the true culprit. Hearing that, Audrey quickly stopped her husband in a panic. “What are you doing? We finally found an excuse to get something from them, but now… No way, they
Audrey looked at her foolish son unhappily. She wanted to get compensation from the other party. With this exposure, her daughter was entirely to blame! “Mom, Dad, why are you looking at me like this? I found the culprit. It must be Philip! Celia was going to deal with Wynn and Mila and humiliate Philip at the same time. "In the end, she died before she did anything. Something fishy must be going on here! I think we should look into that guy named Philip Clarke. How dare an outsider like him act so arrogantly?” Cole was furious. He did not expect Philip to act so brazenly even though the Clarke family was gone. Logically speaking, Philip was an ordinary person, so he should kneel and beg for mercy for his mistake! “Step aside!” Lucius cursed angrily and dragged his stupid son back, stopping him from saying another word. Although they were about the same age, Preston was in the third zone, while his brainless son was in the first zone! He only reached the first zone with t
Douglas smiled at his son’s reaction. In fact, he envied his son very much. It was amazing that Preston could make friends with Philip and get such a precious booklet at the age of 16. When Douglas was that age, he was beaten by his father because he refused to study. “You must interact more with Philip. He’s not an ordinary person and will soar to greater heights when the opportunity strikes. We’re very lucky to meet him. “Next, people from various places and major families will compete with us for Philip. We have to hold on to him.” Preston was surprised by Douglas’ remark. “Is that possible? The Clarke family has been keeping a very low profile so far, and various major forces are searching for the descendants of the Clarke family. If his identity is made known to the public, his enemies will come after him soon enough.” Preston did not take this seriously. Based on the information he knew, the Clarke family had many enemies. If Philip’s whereabouts were exposed, o
Philip nodded in response. “You’re the first person to believe my message. I posted the message a few days ago, but everyone seems to be scolding me. Why do you believe me? Is it because you’re a descendant of the Clarke family?” Montel did not want to hide what he knew. His purpose for coming here was to assist Philip. The Clarke family had fallen into the hands of villains, and their family could not help Philip openly. They could only get an unknown person like him to assist Philip. Philip's eyes lit up at Montel’s remark. “You're…?” Philip vaguely remembered a family that specialized in fortune telling under the Clarke family. This family had been passed down for hundreds of years and made a living through fortune-telling. Philip had never approached them before, so he did not know them very well. “That’s right.” Montel looked at Philip with pride and excitement. “I’m the second young master of the Zucker family. My family can't stand forward for the time being,
In the next hour, Philip and Montel talked about everything, and Philip roughly understood what had happened in the past three years. At the end of the chat, Philip stood up with satisfaction. He had a better grasp of what he wanted to know. “This place is a bit small. I live with my parents-in-law, so I can’t take you in,” Philip said awkwardly. There were only three rooms here, one for Charles and Martha, one for Mila, and the last one for Philip and Wynn. Thus, there was really no room for Montel! “It’s okay. I already bought the house next door. I’ll stay there from now on, and you can look for me when you need me.” Philip nodded and sent Montel next door. He was more interested in what had happened in the past three years. Within three years, major families and forces had disappeared one after another. The newly founded families seemed very naïve. For them to develop so rapidly, someone must be driving them behind the scenes. Who was supporting the Skater family?
“Let’s go and see what’s happening. Tell the security guards to drive them away. If that doesn't work, get the police to control the situation. Remember to handle the media properly. "Don’t let anyone seize the opportunity to spread wild rumors!” Wynn issued the orders quickly and decisively. The secretary sprang into action. Some people contacted the media, some called security, and some contacted the police station. After everything was done, Wynn went downstairs. She saw banners filled with all sorts of obscenities. If other members of the Skater family were to see this scene, they would be dumbfounded in horror. When the Skater family left the Stein family, they informed all the family members not to lay a hand on Philip for the time being. Even if everyone was angry, they had to be patient. However, this young master thought differently. Instead of messing with Philip, he could deal with his wife! They were from the same family anyway. Whether he dealt with Phi
“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
