“Hmph, don’t you dream of ever finding them. We discovered a research lab by chance and threw the Larson family there. With a magic circle outside, they’ll never get out! There’s nothing in the lab. If they want to survive, they’ll have to start eating each other!” Ivan smiled evilly. He threw all the Larson family members into the lab back then. After three years, he did not believe anyone would be alive. However, he knew that Philip would not miss the chance to find them. “The location of the research lab.” Philip exerted force in his right hand, tearing Ivan's collar. Ivan sneered and refused to speak. “Montel, kill one member of the Tampa family every minute until he starts talking. I’ll find the Larson family sooner or later, but the Tampa family will be wiped out today,” Philip said coldly. He had already made up his mind to kill everyone in the Tampa family. Ivan felt a chill up his spine at Philip’s words. He did not expect Philip to threaten him like this.
Philip laughed at Ivan’s obvious embarrassment. As he thought, this guy was really crooked. “Since you don't want your wife to die, start talking!” Philip threatened. Montel increased the force of the dagger, leaving a streak of blood on the woman’s neck. “Ouch! Start talking already! I’m going to die if you delay any longer!” She was usually the most favored, and her orders carried some weight. Now that her husband was unwilling to speak, this woman became anxious and started yelling. Ivan glanced at her and sighed. “Northwest, Dreary Mountain.” Ivan revealed the location of the research lab and told Philip how to enter it. Nodding, Philip knocked Ivan out. “Tie everyone up. I’ll deal with them after I verify everything.” There were only a few members of the Tampa family left. Philip subdued them easily and tied them to the pillars. “I know all of you are practitioners. Although you’re not very strong, you should be fine without food for two weeks. I’ll look
“I once heard that the Tampa family sent a family member to explore the world, and it seems that he was headed in the northwest region where Dreary Mountain is located. Although I don't know what he did there, I’m sure he knows a lot about the Larson family.” Montel quickly concluded based on the information he knew and the prediction he made. They had to find this guy named Garth Tampa. He was none other than Ivan’s son. Philip was not familiar with the Tampa family, so he did not know what Garth looked like. However, this was the best time to set off. They bought plane tickets and quickly headed to the northwest region. Dreary Mountain was located in an extremely remote location in Townsville that was mostly made up of barren landscapes. Most people could hardly tolerate the climate. However, it posed no problem for practitioners. “Young Patriarch, I made a prediction on the plane. He’s currently working in an entertainment company. I’ll take you there.” Montel hail
The women made no sound for fear of annoying Philip. Philip asked Montel to stand guard outside the door. He closed the broken door and watched silently as Garth pranced around. Garth yelled for a while but got no reply, so he became a little angry. “Are you dumb? Can’t you make a sound?” Philip sneered. Garth heard his sneer and was surprised to hear a man's voice in his office. He took off the stockings on his head in horror. “Who are you?!” A man stared at him sinisterly. Garth was so frightened that he slumped on the floor, his knees weak. He looked at Philip in shock and fear. This guy was quite good at entering his office without making a sound. “Guards, come and save me!” He shouted at the door anxiously, but he specially modified this office, so no one outside the door could hear anything. Even if Garth screamed himself hoarse, no one would come to his rescue. Seeing Philip's indifferent look, he felt a little embarrassed. He was playing some indec
Philip pointed the letter opener at Garth. “Your father loves you very much to spend so much money on you. All other members of the Tampa family are dead now, and you’re the only one left. Do you want to stay alive?” Garth shuddered in fear at Philip's cold voice. He wanted to kneel to Philip! Philip’s remark scared him the most. The Tampa family was gone? How could that be? He just spoke to his father Ivan on the phone two days ago. Everyone was doing very well. “You don’t have to doubt it. I did everything.” Garth was shocked and scared. He was surprised that this person claimed to have destroyed the Tampa family, and he was also afraid that Philip would make a mistake and destroy his lifelong happiness. “Do you know where your father's research lab is?” Philip asked without beating about the bush. Garth scowled at Philip’s question. He did not expect that Philip would ask about his father's research lab. “Who are you?” he asked warily. No one in Townsville
Garth knew very well that once he took Philip to the research lab, he would be dead for sure. “The research lab is far away from this place. It’s not the right time to go now, or…” Garth coughed awkwardly, trying to gloss over the topic. However, Philip gave him no chance. He smacked Garth on the head and grabbed something from the closet for Garth. “I’ll give you five minutes to leave with me.” During this time, Montel was not idle either. He used his hacking methods and found some strange things about Dreary Mountain. As a professional web surfer, Montel was quite good at looking for information. Philip was curious about what Montel found. “There seems to be a research institute on Dreary Mountain. It's used to research some very scary things. I found out about it when I came across a post by chance. Furthermore, Dreary Mountain is heavily guarded, and ordinary people are not allowed entry. Many travelers who went exploring lost their lives on that mountain!” Montel
“Young Patriarch, we've arrived at Dreary Mountain, but there are several roads leading up. Which one shall we take?” Montel asked Philip at the foot of Dreary Mountain. Philip tossed the question to Garth. Garth cursed Philip inwardly but said good-naturedly on the surface, “Just take the road on the right until we reach the end.” He knew that the research lab was being strictly guarded because of the scientists inside. Philip would be finished once he reached the research lab. Garth would take revenge for all the humiliation he had suffered today. He would make Philip run buck naked through all the alleys and streets! Garth felt extremely happy at the thought of Philip’s miserable plight later. Philip speechlessly looked at Garth as the latter laughed wildly one second and looked melancholic the next. Philip almost thought that Garth had gone crazy. “Hey, wake up.” Philip slapped Garth on the head so that he would stay rational and not be immersed in his own wo
Once Philip entered the research lab, he would be a fly trapped in the spider’s web. Garth was no fool. He knew exactly how to contact the guards. At that time, not only would Garth be rescued, but Philip and his ignorant follower would also die in the crossfire! So what if Philip was a powerful practitioner? He could not hold a candle to technology! The Tampa family had been studying various kinds of practitioners and had invented many potions. Some potions could allow ordinary people to gain the power of practitioners! Similarly, they had also developed countless poisons that made practitioners lose energy and transfer that energy away. They did not make the results public. After all, too much information lay behind these potions, and the Tampa family was not sure that they could withstand the attacks from other practitioner forces. The Tampa family’s initial intention was to create their own force. Their family was not large, and most of them were unable to practice,
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
