At this moment, Philip heard the sound of light and familiar footsteps. Philip subconsciously looked outside and saw Clementine. He felt exasperated at the sight of Clementine sneaking around and shooting her videos. This woman would be easily discovered if she walked around here openly. Everything would be over if she attracted the attention of the guards. Without further ado, Philip opened the lab door and pulled Clementine into the room. Clementine was completely focused on taking photos around the lab and did not even notice another person next to her. The next moment, Clementine was pulled into a laboratory. She was horrified and wanted to elbow the assailant but caught a familiar smell. Clementine was just about to turn around when Philip shoved her aside. “It’s you!” Clementine smiled brightly at Philip. She knew she was in safe hands now. Although Clementine had some skills, at least enough to keep herself alive, the feeling was different when she was wi
“I-In the past three years, we've probably sacrificed tens of thousands of people, but many of them are homeless,” the old man admitted as if his sin would be lesser if he did so. Clementine scowled. She did not speak but recorded everything with her camera. The camera was hidden in Clementine's clothes, so she only had to face the other party to get a clear picture. The recorded videos would be uploaded directly to her cloud storage where no one could steal or hack the information inside. Clementine had been collecting these precious materials for a long time, and they could be considered priceless. Compared to her usual exploration and uncovering secrets, Clementine was doing something serious this time. She was delighted at the thought of the social repercussions after this case was made public. “Where's the Larson family?” That was Philip's biggest concern. He wanted to know if any harm had befallen the Larson family over the years. The old man was extremely tor
Sure enough, Albert fell into despair at Philip’s words. He did not expect Philip to know so much. Philip felt amused at Albert’s foolish reaction. “I know everything you’ve done over the years,” Philip sneered. It was obvious that Albert had been up to no good. “Now that you know everything, I’ll tell you the truth! Philip, I can tell that you’re a powerful expert. I want to recruit you to join our team. Have you seen this lab? Do you know how much time and energy have been spent on building it? We run all kinds of genetic research in this lab, including focused research on practitioners!” At this point, he grabbed a document on the table and handed it to Philip. “Aren't you amazed that these studies can help ordinary people become practitioners?” Philip flipped through the document thoughtfully. In general, the content showed that they had discovered a way to transfer the power of practitioners to ordinary humans. Once this approach could be implemented on a large s
The other party was clearly making use of him, but he was grateful to them instead. Once this matter came to fruition, Albert would not gain anything at all. Other families had contributed money, effort, and talents. How could they allow the credit to go to a brat who popped out of nowhere? Albert would not be able to continue living a luxurious and enjoyable life when the day came. Since he had betrayed the Larson family, there was no more use for him. The other party was still willing to keep him simply to display the contrast between his luxurious life and the sufferings of the Larson family. Over time, the other family members would gradually choose to give in. “Do you think that's possible?” Philip mocked. This guy was really naive. Albert scowled at Philip’s retort. Even though his position was far superior, Philip still refused to respect him! Philip was the young patriarch of the Clarke family, an outstanding genius, while an ordinary person with an average
“I can see that you really have no brains,” Philip said flatly, not taking Albert seriously at all. Albert scowled, wishing he could kill Philip. He vowed to kill this man who stole his limelight and record the whole process to show everyone. He, Albert Larson, who was totally crushed by Philip back then, could now easily take him down! Thinking of this, Albert took out his mobile phone and put it on recording mode. “Today, I'm going to show everyone how good you are, you loser!” Albert smiled brightly as if he could already see himself killing Philip. Philip laughed from the bottom of his heart. He had concealed his strength all this while. Although he was already extremely powerful back then, Philip always claimed that he was only slightly better than the most outstanding people. Furthermore, Philip always controlled his performance to showcase exactly that. However, when someone surpassed him, they would quickly discover that he was another step farther from th
Albert seemed very smug upon hearing Philip’s words. He hoped that he could persuade Philip to join his team too. He usually worked alone and felt a little lonely. Although this guy was a talent, things were different now. He must be stronger than Philip. If Philip joined him, Philip could only become his subordinate. “If you want me to join your team, you have to give me some good conditions. What do you have to attract me?” Philip said seriously without beating about the bush. Albert shook the potion in his hand at Philip’s interest. “This thing will be good for you.” Albert flicked the cap open with a smile and swallowed it in one gulp. He was so fast that Philip could hardly react. It was as if Philip would snatch it away if Albert was a second slower, so he had to be cautious. Philip watched Albert silently. Clementine helped Grandpa up and stood aside while staring at the scientists warily, not forgetting to record everything. Probably only Clementine coul
Philip walked to the door. Albert kept urging him along, which annoyed Philip. Clementine gritted her teeth, helped Grandpa up, and followed them. This lab was not safe. She would probably be trapped if she remained here. Soon, Philip followed Albert to a training ground where they usually trained. Philip subconsciously used a camouflage pill to modify his appearance. Although he looked somewhat similar to his original appearance, there were subtle differences in other areas. Most of the people training here wore the same uniform with the word ‘guard’ on their chests. Philip was surprised to find himself in the thieves’ den. However, he could feel that these people were not that strong and not that difficult to deal with. Clementine staggered over with Grandpa in tow and saw this scene. She backed away in fright and found a room to hide in. With so many guards around, Philip would definitely arouse everyone's suspicion if he rushed in. A fierce battle would inevitably
Philip knew that this guy was no good, so there was no need to waste time with him. Albert patted his chest. “If you can beat me, I’ll introduce you to Mr. Tate, and we’ll flourish under his command. Doesn’t that sound wonderful?” Albert said smugly. He had always envied others for having underlings, but no matter how he tried to please those people, no one was willing to follow him. Now that a family member was here, there was an extra layer of kinship binding them compared to others. Although Albert was upset with Philip, there was no problem in taking advantage of him. His objective was simply to show Philip how strong he was. Philip laughed. This guy was ignorant and idiotic, shameless to the extreme just to show off his strength. He believed that even if Albert was fully prepared, it would never occur to him that Philip had far surpassed him. Philip would teach him a good lesson and dig all of Mr. Tate’s information out of him. “Cut the crap and start fightin
“Since that’s your request, I’ll oblige.” Philip flew up the stage and quickly landed next to the old monk. Everyone was jealous to see Philip forging a connection with the old monk. Many people at the scene recognized Philip and knew who he was. “Look, isn't that Philip? I can’t believe that the old monk is so interested in Philip. It seems that we can’t take Philip lightly.” “I always thought Philip was a loser, but maybe I’m mistaken.” “He’s on very good terms with the Celestial Palace. Why would you think he was a loser?” Everyone discussed this topic with great interest. Carlos was quite close to Philip, so he felt proud to hear those comments. He knew that everyone was just jealous of Philip. The old monk stretched out his hand and invited Philip to go to his room. Philip nodded at his indication. “You look like a newcomer. Sure enough, the younger generation is taking over the world. For someone at your age to reach this level, you’re certainly a force to be
No one had ever seen the old monk, so they did not know what he was like. Philip and his party soon arrived at Zenith, which looked very grand just like a palace. The large arena in the middle was crowded with people. Everyone was looking at the stage, waiting to pay homage to this legendary old monk. Some people had seen the old monk and heard his lecture in the past. They felt that they had benefited from it, so they arrived early this time to grab a good spot. Others had never seen the old monk, but they knew they would benefit from his lecture about practice. Philip and Carlos squeezed into the middle of the crowd and found seats. Philip was very curious about the old monk and could not wait to see him. Soon, the old monk appeared in front of everyone. He looked very impressive. Seeing his attire, Philip felt that this old man was definitely not an ordinary person. His clothes were very expensive, not something anyone could afford. It was not only in reference to the pr
Rabbit was attacked by the spell before he could react. He stood on the spot blankly, wondering what was going on. Rabbit tried to move when he felt that something was wrong with him. He seemed to have lost control of his body and could not move. “You have no say in this matter. Since you left with me, it means that you've agreed to follow me.” The hooded man was calm. He did not think that Rabbit could escape his clutches easily. After all, the piece of yellow paper was not an ordinary item. He had gone to great lengths to get it. He could control the rabbit’s mind and body fearlessly with that piece of yellow paper. Over time, the rabbit would eventually become his puppet. The hooded man was very excited to think that he would have a powerful helper. Rabbit lost his senses and had no idea what happened. Subconsciously, Rabbit wanted to resist, but he could not for some reason. He could only stand and wait for orders. “Hey, bring me a glass of water,” the hooded man said
“I sense a familiar vibe from you. Where are you from?” Rabbit asked curiously. He had a feeling that this man did not belong to this world. He felt familiar. The man stared at Rabbit while thinking about how to take it away. “I have many secrets. Do you want to know more? Come with me, then. I can give you a good life and help you quickly level up. You can become the best rabbit in existence and stand at the top of this world!” Rabbit hopped over and nodded excitedly. He knew that this person was mysterious and weird, so he wanted to find out more. The hooded man was shocked that this rabbit was dumb enough to leave with him. However, he did not reveal his smugness and just held the rabbit in his arms devoutly. He never thought that he could have such a powerful pet. Thinking of this, he decided to do something to make this rabbit his own. This rabbit had developed intelligence, so it would not agree to become his pet so easily. Rabbit was just leaving with him, but being
The hooded man was very interested in Rabbit and wanted to make contact with him to find out more about him. He quickly found Philip’s house and was surprised to find that it was surrounded by a barrier that blocked all his perceptions, which made him conflicted. It was not a place he could enter at will. He felt some energy fluctuations from formations too. If he was not mistaken, entering this place would be dangerous for him. After much deliberation, he turned around and left without staying any longer. His visit here was enough to verify his guess. Since Philip could come up with such a powerful formation and barrier, he was certainly a force to be reckoned with. At the very least, Philip was not someone he could deal with so easily. As for Rabbit, the hooded man was not bothered by him at all. He just wanted to know how Philip subdued such a powerful pet. The hooded man had dealt with many monster beasts in the past but failed to subdue any. He had even suffered badly un
“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
