Clementine looked at Philip nervously, fearing that Philip would be unhappy. “I believe you. I’m just saying that Kronos might have been keeping an eye on us long ago. They want to use us to wipe out all the forces affiliated with the Clarke and Larson families.” Kronos could not possibly know why they were here, so the reason they had been keeping an eye on them was obvious. “They're waiting to catch a big fish, and we're bait. They want to use us to catch everyone in the Clarke family!” Philip said angrily, disgusted at Kronos’ plan. “Since they want a big fish, let’s give them one,” Montel sneered and took out his tablet again. He checked into the B&B on the tablet, which could confuse many people. A prompt popped up in the background. The message was sent to Kronos, which made Kronos tremble with excitement. Kronos came up with this program in advance. Once someone logged onto certain websites, their personal data would be stolen, and Montel fell for it when he book
Philip led the other two into the village, and several brawny men walked out of each house. They wore strange and primitive clothes. Everyone mumbled under their breath, but no one understood them. “Young Patriarch, do you understand what they're saying?” Montel frowned, embarrassed that his prediction was wrong. How did they stumble into this weird village? They followed the route he predicted! Philip shook his head. He had never heard such rough language in all his years of travel. “I think I can roughly understand what they mean. I once made a video that used a similar language.” Clementine suddenly stepped forward like a savior, and the two men looked at her kindly. They had been wondering how to communicate with the other party. It would be great if Clementine could do it. “Tell them we hope to stay here for a few nights. We can compensate them for it.” Philip put his hopes on Clementine. If this failed, they had to find another place to stay. It was no
“This old man is quite the authoritarian!” Montel groused, amazed to enter such a village by accident. Montel started having doubts about his fortune-telling. He hid in the corner and kept thinking about it, seemingly very worried. Clementine talked to the village chief, and the two quickly reached an agreement. “Philip, they're willing to let us stay a few nights for free. There’s a vacant hut over there.” Clementine pointed to an inconspicuous hut in the corner excitedly. They came to the mountain in a hurry and did not bring anything with them. At first, Clementine was worried that they would jack up the price. Now, it seemed that they were willing to help them unconditionally instead. She chided herself for jumping to conclusions too soon. “We can’t take it for nothing. Let’s leave them some food later,” Philip said with a smile. Respect worked both ways. That was his principle. Clementine took out some snacks from her backpack. She handed them over to the vil
“If possible, I want to move this room back home!” Montel sighed as soon as he entered the room. He felt that he would get a good night’s sleep here. “It belongs to them. Don’t even think about it!” Clementine reminded Montel. Montel shrugged helplessly. “Fine, I get it. Do you really think that I’m a devil of destruction?” The two bickered, and Montel even gave the villagers different nicknames. Philip smiled and relaxed. The children in the village ran around happily with snacks in hand, the same with many adults. Clementine had given them a large bag of delicious snacks, and it was an eye-opening experience for them. They had been living in the mountains forever and had never left the village. The farthest they went was the surrounding areas. Their daily life only consisted of farming and hunting. People like them who were out of touch with society had no idea what these snacks were. Everyone was extremely excited to see them for the first time. Some people e
Philip could only ask Clementine to tell the villagers to remain alert and not to trust anyone easily. At this time, Kronos members were having a fit at the B&B. Kronos found out the trio’s whereabouts and wanted to ambush them, but they saw no traces of the group. They did not register at the B&B, but they chose to check in early in the morning, which seemed very strange. In the past two days, they turned the surrounding B&Bs upside down and caused a great panic, but it was all in vain! At the sight of his impending failure, the man in charge seemed frustrated and panicked. “Young Master Brutus, don't worry. If they're really here, they can’t stay in hiding for long. Someone found out that a treasure will be appearing here soon. I'm guessing they're here for it.” No one was a fool and quickly concluded after some observations. “In that case, let’s go into the depths to explore.” Brutus felt that his subordinate had a point and immediately decided to lead his men into
“Let's go this way. It should be around here.” Montel pointed to a huge boulder on the ground. According to his software, the treasure was under that boulder. Philip was delighted. He picked up the shovel and started digging several meters under but found nothing. Montel frowned at Philip’s questioning gaze. “Maybe we’re not supposed to dig for it but wait for it to appear,” Montel explained awkwardly. Philip sat on the spot without a word. As soon as Philip and the others left the village, a large group of people arrived. Philip never thought they would turn up so soon. Kronos members walked for several hours and finally saw a village. Everyone was very thirsty and wanted a drink right away. They had to travel lightly for this operation, so they had nothing on them. The village chief was uneasy when he saw this group of people. At his age, he was good at observation. He knew that these people were up to no good. Unlike the three people earlier, this group of
“Who are you? What are you doing?” Everyone shouted angrily, wishing they could kill Brutus. Brutus smiled and waved his hand. His men surrounded the villagers. He brought many people with him in this operation. Dealing with these primitive villagers was a piece of cake. Brutus signaled with his eyes, and a gust of wind rustled everyone’s clothes. This gust of wind was so strong that the villagers fell to the ground. They stared at Brutus in surprise, not sure what was going on. “What is this?” The village chief was a little panicked to encounter such a weird thing. The people in this village were born with great strength, but that was all. They had never heard of controlling the elements. “You don’t know? Let me tell you, I’m a god.” Brutus sneered as he waved his hand at the village chief. The next moment, the village chief fell to the ground and spat a mouthful of blood. He looked miserable. “W-What's going on?” The villagers were trembling. Even though
“I don’t know!” The village chief frowned, unwilling to reveal the other party's whereabouts. After a few days of interaction, they developed a very deep friendship with each other. This group of people was obviously out to kill Philip. Although they were villagers and very simple farmers, they would not betray others for this reason. The brawny men also insisted they had no idea and seemed resigned to their fate. As Brutus gave the village chief a good thrashing, the brawny men tried to stop the former. However, no matter how strong they were, they were ordinary people, after all. After a brief pause, Brutus stretched his arm to the village chief, who appeared in his hand the next moment. He could grab things out of thin air. The men in black took down the brawny men while Brutus grabbed the village chief in a chokehold. “Tell me what you know or this old man will die,” Brutus threatened. The brawny men hesitated. They were unwilling to reveal Philip’s wherea
“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
