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
After graduating, everyone lost contact with each other, but someone in the group chat mentioned that Justin had gone back home to farm. Philip was surprised to see him here. This place was very spooky, and Philip suspected that this was related to the Zucker family’s prediction half a month later! “Hehe, I caught a few more prey.” He tossed several men in the sack to the ground without noticing Philip. They quickly woke up after their release. These homeless people from the slum looked very frightened and struggled desperately to avoid the other party’s stabs. However, they were tied up and could not move at all. No matter how hard they struggled, it was in vain. “After I take a bath with your blood, I believe the quality of my strength will improve.” Justin smiled cruelly. He could already see his level skyrocketing. “So it’s you! The recent disappearance of so many people in the slum is all your fault!” One of the homeless men roared angrily. “Haha, you’re quit
Justin was stunned. He had no idea where this person came from! He felt that Philip looked familiar as if he had seen him somewhere before. “Who are you? Why are you here?” he frowned and asked. This guy must be here for him. Philip was taken aback that Justin did not recognize him anymore. He chuckled and said, “You seem to have forgotten me, Justin.” Justin was surprised and panicked that the other party could call out his name. He tried hard to recall the identity of the other party but to no avail. In that case, he might as well kill him! “I was wondering where to find my next target, but someone appeared right at my doorstep. Seeing how young you are, the quality of your blood must be very good.” He took out a dagger and approached Philip. As a practitioner, he was not afraid of a stranger who popped out of nowhere. Philip felt Justin’s energy fluctuations and was surprised. Like the old man who was captured, Justin surged with dark energy. More terrifyin
“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
