Philip looked at the three punks rolling in the corridor and snorted. He said, “If you want to stay alive, get out of my sight. Don't let me see you again.” “O-Okay, we’ll leave right away!” the three quickly replied in fear. After this beating, their fear of Philip was over the top. Even though their legs were broken, they had to get out of there even if they had to crawl! The neighbors saw this scene through their windows. They looked at the young man in stunned silence, surprised that he was so powerful. The doors opened one after another, and the neighbors began to applaud. They cursed the punks and praised Philip. As Philip entered her shabby apartment, Jenny felt an inferiority complex. “Thank you for helping me just now. If not for you, I can’t imagine what would've happened.” Jenny thanked Philip from the bottom of her heart. At the same time, she was grateful that her father was so smart to have met such a powerful and handsome guy. He saved her life at a criti
Philip did not expect so many things to have happened in this duration. Who exactly betrayed him, the Clarke family, and even harmed his good buddy? “Do you know how that person is?” Jenny trembled at Philip’s sudden serious tone. “I only know that the other party was referred to as some king? I didn’t hear the details clearly. My father didn’t let me get involved in such things.” Jenny told Philip everything she knew. Although Philip roughly knew what Fenrir had gone through, he still could not identify the person who wanted to harm Fenrir. “My father has served the young patriarch of the Clarke family all his life. He once told me that he and the young patriarch of the Clarke family have a very good relationship. Even my mother and I cannot hold a candle to the other party! "I want to know who this person is to make my father so fanatical about him!” At this point, Jenny got a little agitated and seemed to have a lot of opinions about this young patriarch. Philip sm
Jenny’s phone rang at this time. She answered the phone, and her expression quickly became upset. Jenny hurriedly ended the call, rushed into the room, and took out some change from the box. “Philip, I'm sorry, I can't stay with you anymore. Something happened to my mom. The doctor asked me to go over and see her for the last time,” Jenny choked. She did not expect to receive bad news from the hospital at this time. “I'll take you there.” Philip got up and drove Jenny to the hospital. Jenny clutched the bag of change and counted it carefully along the way. Out of the corner of his eye, Philip could tell the total was about 1,000 dollars. Although Philip had been away from this place for three years, he knew that this amount could not bring the patient back from the brink of death. The two soon arrived at the hospital. Jenny rushed to the operating room just in time to see the doctor open the door. “Doctor, I’m the patient's daughter. How's my mom?” Jenny asked ner
The doctor had given a professional diagnosis of her mother’s condition. Jenny was looking for help just for her psychological comfort. “Don't worry, I won't stand by and do nothing.” Philip went through the dry needling method several times in his mind and quickly memorized all the contents. He was quite proficient in practice, but not in this aspect. It was too late to get Preston. Jenny's mother's vital signs were rapidly declining, and she would die in ten minutes at most. “Are you serious?” Jenny looked at Philip with anticipation. Dr. Lee saw this scene and stepped forward to persuade Philip. “You must be this young lady’s boyfriend. Her mom’s condition is very weird. You don’t need to comfort her anymore. You should let her accept reality as soon as possible! Even God can't save her now!” The doctor was certain that no one could save Jenny's mother. “Dr. Lee, can I borrow some silver needles from you?” Philip asked seriously. Dr. Lee thought Philip's reques
“Outrageous! What are you doing?!” A serious-looking doctor in his 50s rushed over. As soon as he left the operating room, he heard someone using dry needling to resurrect someone from the dead. He was so frightened that he rushed over. As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw the other party poking a needle into a fatal point! “Dr. Stein, you're here!” Everyone exclaimed and made way for the other party. His full name was Goddard Stein, a well-known traditional medicine practitioner in Rhineville. More coincidentally, he was Preston’s uncle. Goddard scowled darkly. He entered the ward and cursed angrily, “Who will take the responsibility once something happens to the patient? The doctor or the nurse?” Goddard sternly questioned the people in the ward. It would be the hospital's responsibility if something went wrong because they allowed this young man to act recklessly! At this moment, the weak frequency of Jenny's mother's heartbeat became normal again! “She came
Philip awkwardly pulled his hand from Goddard’s grasp. He had no medical skills at all. Why did these people insist on taking him as their teacher? Dr. Lee stared at this scene dumbfounded. The legendary old miracle doctor actually behaved so humbly in front of a young man in his 20s and even requested to become his student! Although Goddard was not a director of the hospital, his status was far higher as he was a well-known doctor that no money could buy. It was a shock to see this scene today! However, Dr. Lee also knew very well that it would be easy for this young man to reach the pinnacle of life with such medical skills. Dr. Lee looked at Philip expectantly, hoping that he could become his student too. Philip paid no attention to them and turned to Jenny with a smile. He said, “Let’s get your mom cleaned up. She can be discharged from the hospital this afternoon.” Philip explained as he started packing the things. This hospital was very expensive. Without hesi
Tricia’s hospitalization had already cost Jenny hundreds of thousands, and she still had hundreds of thousands more to pay. All the machines at the hospital require huge amounts of money to maintain, so this sum was not high, but it was a sky-high price for Jenny. They did not earn much from the street stall, so 100,000 dollars was all of their savings. It was almost impossible to come up with another huge sum of money. If they paid off the expenses this time, Jenny and her mom would be in debt for the rest of their lives. Philip fell into deep contemplation upon hearing Goddard’s promise. Indeed, they needed a huge sum of money to pay for the medical expenses. It would be great if Goddard could help with it. Philip nodded and said, “Find me a piece of paper and pen. I’ll write down my contact number for you. You can take care of the medical expenses.” Philip did not promise to be Goddard's teacher, but giving out his contact number was acknowledgment enough. Goddard ha
“It's Jenny Walsh. She studied abroad before this and returned when energy was revived. I heard that she charmed someone to beat Crusty up.” “Oh, so that guy has some skills!” “So what? Toro has announced that he’ll find Jenny and deal with her tomorrow, as well as that guy!” As the punks chattered, Jenny’s expression became uncertain. She did not expect this incident to cause such a big fuss that even the punks on the street knew about it. Even her reputation had spread so widely! The man called Toro was going to find fault with her too! “Toro is very powerful. Do you know the Skater family in Rhineville? Toro is one of theirs! It’d be wonderful if I could join the Skater family and get a technique too.” “Philip…” Jenny trembled all over. Although she did not know who Toro was, everyone had heard of the Skater family. The family was famous for being large and wealthy, and their reputation was notorious. Since Toro was one of theirs, he must be a vicious person. If
“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
