Through the fragmented memories, Philip saw a familiar shadow in this planned massacre. The Tampa family. This family held a high position in the Clarke family, was proficient in various poisons, and lived in recluse. They were trusted partners of the Clarke family. Philip judged from these scattered memory fragments that something was wrong with the Tampa family. However, he could not put all the pieces together, so he had no choice but to find the Tampa family. If the Tampa family had helped the Clarke family in the battle, they should no longer exist. On the other hand, if the Tampa family was still alive and well, something must be wrong with them. Those crazy people were out to destroy all the major families and factions. How could they let go of the powerful Tampa family? At the thought of the Tampa family, Philip recalled the Zucker family. A few days ago, Montel said he wanted to look for other partners, and he disappeared without leaving any contact informati
Philip looked up at the impressive mountain and headed up. At this moment, everyone in the Tampa family was standing guard nervously. Ever since Montel turned up at their doorstep, no one had a good night’s sleep for several days. Everyone was worried that the cat was out of the bag and someone would come after them. After several days, however, there was no movement from the outside world. The Tampa family eventually relaxed. As they were about to go for a good rest, the doorbell rang. Everyone tensed up again. “Who’s there?” Patriarch Tampa looked cautiously at the door. The butler pulled up the surveillance footage and saw a young man. “Patriarch, it’s a young man who seems familiar.” The butler frowned and observed the person in the surveillance footage. This angle could not provide a clear picture of the visitor. The patriarch waved his hand and asked the butler to open the door. “We’ll know once we see him. Open the door and let him in.” Patriarch Tamp
Ivan knew very well that Philip was an outstanding talent, so he dared not have any reckless ideas about Philip. Back then, they tried to poison Philip to destroy his practice base, but Ivan had no idea if the plan was successful. Thus, he dared not take a gamble. Ivan struggled for a while and decided to play dumb. “Young Patriarch, we don’t know anything about this. The boy from the Zucker family did come here some time ago, but he left after a short visit! “Do you mean he’s missing? This is bad. We need to organize a search for him! “This place is a mess, not as safe as the big cities. Something may happen to a lone kid like him!” Philip was shocked to hear his feigned ignorance even though he had already put it so bluntly. His appearance at their doorstep clearly meant that he was adamant about causing trouble for the Tampa family. “Since I’ve mentioned this so clearly, you don’t have to play dumb either. Don't think I don't know what has happened during the years I
Ivan was surprised to hear that the memory erasure case had been exposed. “Did someone from the Skater family tell you?” Ivan asked. He was not worried about the Skater family. They would not betray him. “Don’t worry about them. They're dead.” Philip sneered and sat on the couch, unfazed. Seeing Philip’s nonchalance, Ivan felt a flash of annoyance. “You killed them? Did you read their memories?” Ivan said in surprise as if he remembered something. He knew one way to read another person’s memory, but this method was only available to demonic practitioners. He could not believe that Philip used this method! It proved that Philip had dealings with demonic practitioners! Philip frowned. Of course, he knew that only demonic practitioners would use such a vicious method in this world. The memory-reading method he used came from the books in Verge Tower, not demonic practitioners. However, he did not intend to explain anything to these losers. Philip sat there and wait
Ivan was extremely nervous. He knew that Philip's actual strength would only be stronger than the fifth zone, not weaker. If Philip was really that powerful, he had to weigh the situation carefully. Only a few members of the Tampa family were left, and they could not afford to lose anyone. Philip came at the right time, and all the remaining members of the Tampa family were here. It would be difficult to escape now. “What happened back then was all a misunderstanding. We aren't traitors,” Ivan said awkwardly, not avoiding the topic. Philip sneered at Ivan’s explanation. Ivan was really good at bluffing. Why did he not realize that Ivan was such a hypocritical person? Montel finally regained some strength after Philip fed him some water. He struggled to stand up and glared at Ivan. “You liar! You pretended to welcome me when I first arrived to gain information about the young patriarch. When I wasn't paying attention, you spiked my food and knocked me out! You’re such
Montel looked at Philip anxiously. “Young Patriarch, you have to believe me! Ivan is a big fat liar! Everything will be over if you believe him! This shameless old man is really one of a kind!” Montel cursed angrily without caring about his image. The grudge between him and Ivan was already set in stone. Ivan sneered at Montel, unfazed. He simply wanted to buy time and wait for help to arrive. Ivan was not sure if Philip had other reinforcements, so to be on the safe side, he would wait for the Practitioner Society to deal with Philip. Even though Ivan was an expert in the seventh zone, he was apprehensive when facing the former young patriarch. “That’s enough. Stop it.” Philip stopped Montel. “Ivan’s reinforcements should be here now. If not, I won’t wait any longer.” Philip stood up and smiled at Ivan. Ivan froze, shocked that Philip guessed his plan. He did everything in secret. No one should know anything about it, but Philip did! It was enough to prove that
Montel coughed awkwardly, astounded by these fangirls. Philip was speechless too. He had imagined many scenarios. Maybe he would be arrested on the spot. Maybe the Practitioner Society would insult him before taking him away. Maybe other various undesirable situations might happen. However, it never occurred to him to see a bunch of fangirls. Philip facepalmed in embarrassment. He did not want things to turn out this way! The man in the lead did not share the same thoughts. He was very unhappy with their reactions. “So you're the demonic practitioner. Surrender at once!” he said gruffly. Montel frowned in disdain. Even though he did not drink much water in the past several days, his voice was not that gruff. This guy sounded like a quacking duck, and his voice was very unpleasant to the ears. “Sarah, don't be fooled by the faces of these demonic practitioners. They look handsome and charming to create a false impression!” the guy said seriously, trying to destroy th
“Are you guys trying to defend him?” Ivan asked solemnly. He was very unhappy with these fangirls, so he placed all his hopes on Gruffy. Gruffy looked very gloomy seeing that his junior had taken a fancy to a man as soon as she arrived. Hence, he was certain that Philip was a demonic practitioner. No matter what background he had, there was no way he could leave in peace today. Jealousy could turn someone into a green-eyed monster. Over the years, his junior never had the hots for him. She never cherished the man beside her but chose this loser instead?! What a waste! Gruffy walked over briskly and stared at Philip seriously. “Did you use a demonic technique to retrieve another person’s memories?” Gruffy asked solemnly as if he was conducting official business. Seeing this scene, the other women seemed anxious. They knew very well that Philip was absolutely innocent. In an era where appearance took precedence over justice, they were undoubtedly torn. “No.”
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
