“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
Everyone smiled at Clementine's description, which was quite interesting. Montel carefully adjusted his device and found that the location was back in the village. “I’m sure this thing can move around, but I adjusted my equipment and found that it’s now in the village. Maybe the thing will come out from the village we stayed in earlier!” Montel patted his chest and assured them, seemingly very confident. Philip nodded. Such treasures were indeed very cunning. The better they were, the smarter. “Let’s go back to the village,” Philip ordered, and they set off. They looked forward to returning to the village. The villagers were simple yet interesting. After interacting with devious people in the secular world for a long time, they thought it was wonderful to interact with such simple villagers. The three hurried back to the village. A few hours later, Brutus led the Kronos members to the location where Philip and the others were earlier. “Their scent ends here. I thi
All the villagers were good people, and Philip felt extremely guilty that they suffered this tragic misfortune because of him. “L-Let’s bury the villagers.” Philip sighed, feeling a little down. With a wave of his hand, numerous deep pits appeared in the ground. The three of them put the villagers into the pits and buried them. No one spoke during the whole process. They were lost in their own thoughts. “It’s all my fault! Kronos probably killed them out of anger.” Philip clenched his fists and vowed to bury those people with the villagers! Montel nodded seriously, thinking of ways to deal with Kronos. Clementine looked around and picked up a bag of snacks in despair. The package was full of footprints. Maybe they could identify the brand of the shoes. “It’s really them.” Clementine was furious. The very existence of these guys was a mistake. “I believe they’ll come back if they can’t find us. Let's just wait here. They won’t go back in one piece!” Philip clea
After hearing Philip's words, Montel and Clementine looked at each other. They thought Philip was right! “You have a point. I think that’s exactly what it is!” Montel smacked his thigh excitedly and quickly reached out for his tablet. Philip walked around the village and observed the surroundings. He knew the treasure must have brought some changes to the villagers. Philip walked around the hut and noticed a painting hanging on the wall. The painting appeared to be pieced together with various bones and shells, with nothing special about it. However, Philip noticed that it was a picture of a bull, and its eye seemed a little different. The eye was not made of shells but a black shiny stone like a diamond. It was not conspicuous. Even if Philip and the others were to stay here for ages, they might not notice anything strange. “Hey guys, look at this painting.” Philip took down the painting. As soon as he touched the bull’s eye, a bright light dazzled. Philip’s
“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
