Numerous dried corpses were piled in the corner, and there was a huge pool filled with blood in the middle of the basement. A dead man covered in blood lay on the floor, his right leg obviously broken. Strangely enough, the words ‘I am the murderer’ were written in blood next to him. Megan composed her emotions and pointed at this dead guy as she said, “After investigation, this person is the murderer. Let's deal with this quickly and write a report. The recent frequent missing homeless people in the slum is all his doing!” Although Megan had no idea what was going on, she was smart enough to put the pieces together after seeing the situation in the basement. Megan was shocked to solve so many unsolved cases one after another. Whether it was the missing children or homeless people, they were major cases that stumped them for a while. They were lucky enough to solve two major cases in a row. “Boss, how on earth did you find this place? None of us has ever been to the slu
Philip wanted to deal with the Skater family, but he knew he could not act rashly due to his current situation. He contacted his student in name to send some herbs to the Johnston family house. Preston was very intrigued by Philip’s request and volunteered to deliver the package in person. Then, he found an excuse to stay. However, Philip did not bring the materials into the house but went to the empty house next door. Montel gave the key to Philip before he left. He said he wanted to find other subordinates for Philip, who did not stop him. “Teacher, what are you doing?” Preston followed Philip and watched as the latter sorted through the ingredients. Although Philip's practice level had dropped, his pill-making skill was not affected. It took Philip a while before he recalled some low-end pill recipes. Unfortunately, he only knew a few of those. Philip searched through Verge Tower expectantly but failed to find any books on pill-making and could not help feeling
“Teacher, are you sure you want to use a pressure cooker to make pills?” Preston gulped, feeling that Philip was joking around with him. Philip nodded. Without other tools on hand, he could only use a pressure cooker to make pills. Preston was doubtful of Philip’s actions. He could not help feeling that Philip was kidding him. “Good luck, Teacher,” he said. Preston hid in one corner. Preston had a hunch that this so-called pill would definitely cause an uproar. Philip poured all the ingredients into the pressure cooker according to the recipe in his mind and used his energy to stir the mixture in the pressure cooker. The ingredients turned into powder, and Philip added mountain spring water to turn the powder into a liquid. After an hour of brewing, the liquid became thick. Philip used his energy to form the mixture into little pills. Preston watched this scene in disbelief. He was surprised that his teacher succeeded. He thought his teacher was kidding, but the f
Preston was pretty sure that these pills would be worth a fortune out in the market. It was not impossible for someone to give up all their savings for one. He witnessed with his own eyes as Philip went from the peak of the first zone to the early stage of the third zone, and it only took several pills! The higher the level, the more difficult it was to advance. It was a miracle that 13 pills could produce this result. If they could produce a large number of these pills, they could groom ordinary practitioners on a large scale and develop a strong force in no time. Preston was extremely excited at this thought and looked at Philip expectantly. “Teacher, can I mass produce this?” Philip choked on the water he was drinking. He glanced helplessly at his silly student. “No.” After saying that, he cleaned everything and started on the second batch of pills. Next, he made the camouflage pill and the energy replenishment pill. The latter, in particular, was a must-have in hi
“That person looks very young, seemingly only in his 20s, but he's an expert in dry needling. I shamelessly begged him before he was willing to accept me as his student.” Goddard sighed. He had never acted so humbly in his entire life. In the past, others would beg him to accept them as students, but things took a complete reversal now. He knew that his action would indeed surprise everyone, but he did not think there was anything shameful to take someone so capable as his teacher. Especially now that energy had been revived, some young people were likely to receive a powerful heritage. Maybe the legendary reclusive families could also shock the world if they appeared and displayed their abilities to the public. After hearing Goddard’s description, Douglas and Preston looked surprised. They immediately thought of a likely candidate. “Uncle, is that person named Philip Clarke?” Preston asked. Goddard shook his head and said, “I don't know his name, but he took my mobil
Goddard saw his teacher in Preston’s video! Goddard's eyes widened in disbelief and shock as he looked at the man operating the pressure cooker in the video. “W-What is he doing?” Goddard was even more surprised by Philip's action. He had no idea why Philip was using a pressure cooker to cook herbs, and his actions looked very strange too. Douglas approached curiously, and his eyes widened at the scene. “Is he making pills?” Douglas seemed doubtful. He thought that statement was absurd. Goddard also looked at Preston in confusion, waiting for him to give a reasonable explanation. Preston started applauding the two. “Not bad, you guys are quite smart. Indeed, my teacher was making pills.” Preston looked very proud of his teacher. Goddard and Douglas shook their heads. They refused to believe that someone could make pills. “Although the teacher's medical skills are indeed very good and worthy of my admiration, making pills is no joke. If everyone could do it so
“My teacher’s level isn’t very high, only in the first zone. But after he ate a pill, he immediately reached the early stage of the second zone!” Goddard and Douglas were shocked by Preston’s words. They were simply amazed by such a miracle pill! Even though it only worked for people in the fourth zone and below, it was great! “Since he made it so easily, maybe we can mass produce it,” Douglas said. Goddard and Preston interrupted him, “Are you crazy? You want to mass produce this? If he has so much time, why wouldn't he do other things?” “Uncle Goddard is right. My teacher is very busy and has no time to do that! It’s good enough that he can spare me a few pills!” Preston was very unhappy with his father's idea of asking Philip to mass-produce pills. The two shrewd old men acutely caught some key points. “He gave you a few pills? What are they? Show them to us quickly!” They were so surprised just now that they had not looked at the pills Preston had taken out yet.
“You have to get into your teacher’s good books. It’d be great if you could learn how to make pills!” Douglas completely surrendered to Philip. Why should he refuse to follow such a capable person? Moreover, based on the information he found, Philip was a member of the Clarke family too. It was expected for the young patriarch of the Clarke family to be so amazing. “I declare that from now on, our family will always be loyal to Philip!” Douglas swore upon his soul, and everyone in the family instantly had a soul imprint in their hearts. No one dared to raise any objections about this. Douglas knew very well that Philip would definitely rise to the top, and this was the best opportunity to ride on his coattails. If they could make Philip notice them in advance, they would become legendary elder-level figures once Philip developed his force. “Go and hang out with your teacher as much as you can. After all, we're his student’s family. No matter what, we should forge a cl
“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
