The man in black used a knife to mark a cross on the boy’s body. Blood flowed and stained the floor red. The boy woke up drowsily and screamed in shock at the sight of his gushing blood. “Please let me go, I’m begging you. I’m really an old man in my 40s. Check my bone age if you don’t believe me!” The boy wailed, hoping that the other party would let him go, but his words had no effect. No one heard him! “Haha, stop your desperate struggles and just accept your fate.” The man in black laughed brightly. He knew he would achieve his goal very soon, and the boy would offer up his life. Suddenly, all the candles went out. Some of the runes he carefully carved shattered, and even the classroom table cracked. “What's going on? Why is this happening?!” The man in black roared with anger. His sacrificial ritual was ruined! He looked around warily for the culprit but could not find anyone within a radius of ten miles. He finally focused on the boy. “What’s wrong with yo
The man in black was very nervous. He took off his black robe and appeared on the streets like a normal person. His time was running out. He must find suitable prey immediately. It was midnight, and Philip fell into a deep sleep when he got home. Wynn and Mila got up early the next day. Mila was going to dance at school today, so she got up early in the morning, put on light makeup, and wore a beautiful princess dress. Philip kept praising Mila's cuteness. He did not know how to comb her hair, and Mila got a little angry at his failed attempts. “Dad, you made me look so ugly. I want to be beautiful! It’s a shame that I haven’t seen my deskmate Fatty for almost a week. I saw Fatty’s mother crying the other day!” Philip was a little puzzled. He squatted in front of Mila and asked softly, “Mila, did something happen to your classmate? Or did he transfer to another school?” Philip was very concerned about Mila's deskmate. “I always play with him, but he hasn’t come to sch
Wynn had to hold an important meeting this morning. She left Mila in Philip’s good hands and drove her car to the company. Philip held Mila’s hand and walked on the street. Her school was about a ten-minute walk from their home. “Dad, will you watch my dance performance today?” Mila looked at Philip expectantly. She really hoped that her father could watch her dance. “I’ve been learning this dance for a while and always wanted to show you, but you’re always busy and away from home. I really hope you can stay and watch my dance performance!” After hearing his daughter's requests and complaints, Philip quickly agreed. Nothing was more important than Mila! The man in black walked on the street aimlessly and came across an elementary school after half an hour. He became excited at the sight of this bustling elementary school. Where could he find lots of children? A school, of course! Although dangerous, riches came with risks. When he thought that he could summon th
Mila looked at the man in black cautiously and said, “Dad, this man said he’s the person in charge and wants to give me a lollipop.” Philip curiously glanced at this sneaky man with a hat. He saw the person in charge heading to the washroom when he came over just now. The difference between them was obvious. The real person in charge was a woman! “Who are you?” Philip asked gravely and grabbed the man’s collar. He stared at the other party carefully. Something smelled fishy for him to appear here so openly. Was he a human trafficker? Philip frowned seriously as his killing intent surged. If this man turned out to be a bad person such as a human trafficker, he would be doomed. “If you know what's good for you, let go of me,” the man in black said indifferently with a sinister glint in his eyes. “Tell me who you are.” Philip pulled off his robe to reveal an old face. There was almost no flesh on his face, and he looked very fragile as if he was seriously ill, but
“You’re the first person with such strong pressure to force me to use this trick! You should be proud of yourself! I’ll give you a chance. Become my slave and I’ll consider sparing your miserable life.” He had a wonderful idea. His identity had to be kept under wraps, but this guy was different. He could walk in the open on his behalf. “Your guess is right. I’ve been in close contact with those so-called evil things and have developed an indestructible body. My blood can have terrifying effects on so-called good people such as you!” That was why Philip's energy had a strong suppressive effect on him, but he had to take a gamble in order to survive. Philip felt a little disgusted at the thought of this guy’s foul blood. Philip was trapped in the mist and could not see his surroundings clearly. Grisha took this opportunity to hide himself, hoping to sneak up on Philip. Philip calmly took a step forward at the critical moment. He reached out into the mist and grabbed somet
After being rescued by Philip, the woman gratefully took out a business card. “Hello, I’m Officer Megan Herr. Thank you very much for saving me!” The box was translucent, so Megan could see what had happened outside the box. She had witnessed Grisha and Philip's interaction. This old man that she found so difficult to deal with was easily taken down by the other party. “You’re very strong.” Megan looked at Philip seriously. She was about to praise him when Philip turned around and walked away. Mila followed her father, skipping and jumping as they headed outside. She was still young and had no idea what had just happened, but she knew that her father had exposed the identity of a very bad guy! “What an interesting and amazing person,” Megan sighed. She took out her handcuffs, cuffed Grisha, and took him back to the office. “If we can get such an amazing guy to join our unit, it can surely increase our crime detection rate significantly!” Megan had always dreamed
If it was proven that the culprit behind this was the Lovelace family, Philip would never let them off. After sending Mila home, Philip felt a bad premonition. Based on Grisha's memories, Philip found a danger zone in Rhineville. He searched through Grisha’s huge memory bank and found the exact location. The slum? What a coincidence. The danger zone that Grisha knew was the slum! The slum was not highly populated, and those who lived there had no fixed dwelling. The environment and living standards were no match for other places. Philip hurried to the slum and found that it was shrouded in gloom. He did not notice anything strange when he was last here. He was surprised to find such a huge change in less than one day. Something must have appeared! Philip frowned and cautiously entered the slum. “There are reasons why this place became a slum.” Philip frowned and pondered, wondering how this place ended up like this. It was broad daylight, but the slum felt
Philip was puzzled upon hearing that. He thought about it seriously and soon felt chills running up his spine. The Skater family wanted to trap these people in the danger zone of the slum. Their objective was to use these people as nourishment for that being. After learning more about the slum, Philip looked around for anything unusual. After walking around, he saw a rundown and dangerous building. This building was so shabby that no one lived there. He entered the building and found that the way up had been blocked. The only available passage was down to the basement. Philip carefully walked down the stairs and saw a rusty iron door. The door was full of bloody handprints and charms that looked very spooky. Philip smelled a stench similar to Grisha’s foul blood. This place must be connected to Grisha somehow. Philip was certain that the Skater family was responsible for what was going on with the slum. However, it was hard to say who was behind the Skater f
Yule was amazed by the person in the portrait, not expecting to see such a beautiful woman. He was somewhat skeptical after seeing the drawing. He had never seen such a beautiful woman in his life. Could it be the other party’s imagination? “Don’t worry, Yule. This woman is definitely real. I have an eye for beauty, so I’d never make a mistake.” Yule nodded at his subordinate's suggestive expression. Even if he was unreliable in other aspects, he would never mess up in this area. He was notorious for hanging out in various entertainment venues and was not a good guy. Yule quickly made copies of the woman’s portrait and spread the news everywhere. He looked forward to meeting this beautiful woman as soon as possible. In the meantime, Aslan finished his meal and walked on the streets idly. Yule stood on the streets, confident that he would find the woman with so many people helping him. “Hey, what's going on? Why is Foxy’s portrait posted everywhere? Has someone discovered he
“No matter what I do next, you and your people just need to go with the flow. If you agree, I’ll do my best to take care of the beast problem immediately. Of course, you don't have to worry about my source of information. My lips are sealed on this topic.” Yule quickly reached an agreement with these people. Then, Yule arrived at a remote house where all his men were hiding. He asked his men to do something unlawful for him, and they entered the beast forest by mistake because they wanted to escape justice, but they ran into Foxy by accident. Foxy realized from birth that she and her kind had a grudge against humans, but she was an inexperienced youngling, after all. She did not know much about humans and failed to notice their ulterior motives. The other party took note of Foxy’s appearance and made a detour back to safety. Yule arrived at his subordinate’s house anxiously. “Tell me everything you know about that person again. I have some information but it’s not compreh
“Let’s do it this way. We can treat this as a test. If he can solve this problem, we’ll give him a chance.” “That’s a good idea. The beasts have always been a thorn in our sides. It’ll be great if we can take care of this once and for all.” “Since he looks so confident, maybe he can really resolve this. We might as well make use of him to get rid of this problem.” “The beasts have been fighting with us for many years. We can save a lot of trouble if this plan succeeds.” Everyone expressed their opinion and seemed very keen to rely on Yule to solve this difficult problem. Ten minutes were soon up, and Yule quickly returned to the room. He looked very relaxed and even had a drink in his hand. “So, gentlemen, are you done with the discussion? Do you have a better suggestion for my future development?” Yule smiled triumphantly, obviously certain of his victory. As he expected, everyone chose to give in. After all, this was not something anyone could do. Yule would be the best
Yule felt very smug after seeing everyone’s reactions. Clearly, these people could only rely on him to take care of this problem. “Since you’re so curious, let me explain. Indeed, someone is controlling the situation behind the scenes. She can easily control the beasts with her ability. However, I don’t know the woman’s identity. Maybe she’s a powerful being or just an ordinary person. Who knows?” Yule's subordinates were the ones who told him what they saw that day. “I know that woman’s appearance, so I know what to do. You don’t have to worry about it.” Everyone glanced at each other with a grim look, wondering if they should believe Yule. After all, Yule knew something they did not. “Hehe, I just wanted to tell you my plans, that’s all.” Yule wanted to take control of the initiative. The elders and people in charge looked worried. They knew exactly what Yule wanted. “I want a certain authority. Of course, it should be higher than my father’s limit. As you know, I’ve al
Compared to the money they earned at Deadly Arena, the accommodation fee was nothing. Therefore, many people chose to stay in the living quarters provided by Deadly Arena and thought the environment was quite good. The people of Deadly Arena knew about the crisis they were facing. Something felt wrong, so they had to pay attention to it. “Don’t you find the beasts acting strangely this time? They didn’t seem interested in our things but simply left after giving us a warning.” “Yeah, I think something is wrong too. There must be a secret behind it. We have to figure it out.” The people in charge of Deadly Arena gathered for a meeting over this major incident. Yule looked at everyone with disdain as if he thought they were worried over nothing. “The beasts obviously recognized our strength, so they backed away. Stop worrying over nothing.” Yule had always thought highly of himself and looked down on everything. Hearing this, everyone scowled and wished they could teach Yule
“Foxy was the one controlling the beast stampede earlier. The beasts would've razed this place to the ground if I hadn't stopped them in time.” Philip shook his head helplessly. The fence around Deadly Arena had been flattened during the stampede, enough to prove how terrible the earlier battle was. “But of course!” Foxy nodded smugly. The people here would probably be in bad shape if she had not stopped the attack in time. Philip smiled and shook his head. “This young lady is a force to be reckoned with. She simply had to blow a flute to control all the beasts.""I'm sure that all the guilds will try every means to capture Foxy if they find out about her ability,” Lyle said, envious of her ability. Aslan sighed awkwardly. As a monster beast, he had no ability in other areas at all. He could only use his brawn to intimidate others. As if he felt the difference in strength, Aslan lowered his head and was too embarrassed to say another word. Foxy chatted with everyone happil
Aslan was surprised to see Philip bringing a petite and beautiful woman back all of a sudden. “Hey, Philip, where did you pick up such a beautiful woman? I'm so envious.” “You sure have luck with women, Philip. You picked up such a beautiful woman just by going out. It’d be great if I have such luck too.” Aslan and Lyle started teasing Philip, annoying him so much that he almost knocked them out. “Cut the crap. Her name is Foxy, and she's our new teammate. Come with me, everyone. We need to find a safe place to discuss our next plans.” Philip quickly took everyone away. He looked very excited, obviously looking forward to his next plan. Everyone nodded excitedly at Philip’s appearance. They were also curious, wondering what Philip was going to do. Since the beasts had retreated, everyone returned to the lounge area for a break without further ado. Deadly Arena would also be closed for the day and reopen the next day. The inn Philip chose for them was quite luxurious, an
Since their master was dead, these subordinates had to approach the people of Deadly Arena for help. They would be bullied without a master to take charge. They finally found a chance to join a strong employer. Now that he was dead, everyone was at a loss for what to do. “What? He’s dead? This is too much. Find out who those people are. I don’t care which force they belong to or who they have behind them, we need to wipe them out!” This person was Amos, the second in command of Deadly Arena. He knew how to deal with such provocation. “These people are too bold to touch a member of my family. Everyone knows that our children are powerful and undefeatable on this battlefield.” The second in command was annoyed and not in the mood to deal with this incident. His anger over this matter added to his initial agitation. His subordinates were surprised to see his irritation. “What’s wrong, Amos? Why are you so upset? Are the beasts up to something again?” As the second-in-comma
On the battlefield, Aslan was puzzled by the beasts’ sudden retreat. “Maybe the beasts are scared shitless by our strong combat power and decided to give up.” “You got that right. I killed several of them at once and looked really cool.” “But I have a feeling that the beasts this year are much stronger and have greater potential.” Everyone spoke excitedly. The people who killed many beasts had returned for their rewards. They thought highly of the rewards and could not wait to take all the treasures of Deadly Arena.… “Can you control the beasts from a distance?” Philip asked curiously. Foxy nodded. “I can control these beasts no matter where I am. It’s my individual talent.” Since everything went as planned, Philip pondered what to do next. “You should come with me. I’ll tell you about my next plan in detail.” Philip decided to bring Foxy into Deadly Arena. Foxy nodded seriously. She trusted Philip very much and never doubted him at all. He felt a little embarra
