Philip’s lightning energy was far stronger than a normal electric shock. “Damn, there's something wrong with this switch!” Many people were dizzy from the electric shock and cursed aloud. They tried to turn off the main power but to no avail. Montel sighed at their actions. “Are they right in the head?” Aslan nodded, thinking that something was wrong with them. “If they’ll get an electric shock by touching the switch with their hands, why don’t they just do it with mind control?” Aslan sighed and increased his volume so that everyone could hear him. Some people followed his instruction, but the next moment, they clutched their heads and stumbled to the floor, rolling back and forth in agony. Philip's lightning energy had destroyed all the circuits inside. If they touched it with their hands, they would get an electric shock at most. If they touched it with their minds, it was an invitation for Philip to leave a brand on them. Philip silently gave Aslan a thumbs-up for
“This thing was giving me directions, but I didn’t know it was hiding in my pants. How embarrassing.” Montel's face turned red, and he stopped explaining before following the direction pointed out by the chain. Philip knew that now was not the time to joke around and followed Montel quickly. At this moment, Noelle was tied securely to a bed. “Haha, you've been given an Energy-Dispersing Potion, and you won’t be able to utilize your energy for the whole day. With no energy, you can’t even break free from ordinary ropes.” A man appeared in front of Noelle. If Philip and the others were here, they would recognize this man as the maintenance guy just now. “I didn't expect to see the high-and-mighty person in charge to end up lying here in such a wretched state today. The top brass has mentioned that as long as I can capture you, I’ll be in charge of the Trove Guild.” The maintenance guy smiled brightly as he realized his ambition step by step. “Stop dreaming. They’re lyin
Although the detox pill Philip gave everyone back then could neutralize most poisons, the Energy-Dispersing Potion was not poisonous. The maintenance guy added this potion that could disperse energy into a glass of water and gave it to Noelle. It was no wonder that Noelle did not notice anything fishy. “Pin him down,” Philip instructed Aslan and squatted in front of the maintenance guy. “This foul smell… The Venom Guild?” Philip looked at the honest man in front of him with disgust. An honest-looking face did not mean that he was a kind person. Based on the earlier conversation, Philip knew that Noelle saved this pitiful man, but he repaid her with spite instead. The father and son Noelle saved ended up harming her instead. Noelle gradually regained consciousness, and Philip frowned. Her identity had been exposed, so she could no longer remain in the Trove Guild. With Kronos’ spies everywhere, it was almost impossible for Noelle to find a place to hide. “Why did y
Noelle was the victim, so she could decide. “I saved you and brought you back to the Trove Guild. Is this how you repay me?” Noelle sneered. The next moment, the maintenance guy was strangled by an invisible rope. He grabbed the thing choking him in horror but found that there was nothing he could do. That thing was intangible! As the maintenance guy's eyes widened, Noelle's eyes became colder. “What a turncoat.” Noelle felt a lingering fear. Fortunately, Philip and the others saved her in the nick of time, or she would have chosen to end her life. Seeing how Noelle dealt with the maintenance guy so decisively, Philip found her impressive. If Noelle had relented and chosen to let him go, Philip would think twice about letting her join his team. Noelle sighed and grimaced. “Since the top brass has decided to take action against me, something must have happened. Although I don't know what’s going on, I can't stay in the Trove Guild any longer.” Although Noelle did
After Noelle changed her appearance, she followed Philip and the others to the auction hall. A small auction was being held here, and everyone gathered around excitedly, admiring the list of items in the auction. “As expected of the Trove Guild, the auction items are all of the highest quality.” “I want this human cauldron. It sounds amazing.” “I think many weird items have appeared in the Trove Guild’s auctions this year.” Everyone exclaimed in surprise at this incident. The Trove Guild always held many auctions, large and small. However, the auction items were either natural precious treasures or rare treasures made by various factions. There was something called a human cauldron among their auction items this time. Some people had heard of it, but not everyone. “Dude, what’s this human cauldron?” A guy in his teens curiously turned to ask the man next to him. The middle-aged man said smugly, “Young man, have you never heard of it? A human cauldron can make your
“Oh, are those the human cauldrons? Buying one will not only improve your strength but it'll also be a feast for the eyes!” Everyone smiled with disgusting excitement and quickly started bidding. Although they claimed to be upright people, their crimes were no less than the Venom Guild. The Venom Guild’s ugly sins were done openly. They were not afraid of critique, which was quite aboveboard. On the other hand, these upright people always did unjust deeds in the name of justice. The only difference between them and the Venom Guild was that their practice methods were more mainstream, and their faces would not be disfigured due to long-term practice. Noelle looked at these so-called upright people tauntingly. If it were under Noelle’s management, she would never allow such a thing to happen in the Trove Guild. She never thought that the Trove Guild would end up this way today. The women were quickly auctioned off, and an older man walked out. He seemed quite energeti
After figuring this out, many people smiled brightly and stepped forward to exchange contact information with the other party. However, some upright people who did not take part in the human cauldron auction chose to leave in disgust. Jenga did not force them. His purpose was to seek some families for cooperation. He always thought that Kronos was extremely powerful, but he changed his mind after joining them. Kronos simply did a good job at publicity and made everyone think that they were unfathomable. After getting to know them, Kronos was just an empty husk. The only great thing about Kronos was that they led him to the Trove Guild. Without the Trove Guild, he would have fallen out with Kronos. Philip and the others did not know that Jenga had learned many secrets of Kronos. If Philip had known this, he would have used the cruelest means to read his memory. “On top of that, the Venom Guild will provide some spots for ordinary people to become practitioners. We'll b
“Humans are really arrogant. When you find monster beasts not pleasing to your eyes, you find all ways to subdue the monster beasts and turn us into your playthings. "Now that this twisted faction wants to gain a foothold in the world of practitioners, they can openly change how things work.” Aslan really disliked these people from the bottom of his heart. Normally, he would swallow them in one gulp. However, since it was the Venom Guild, he felt disgusted and even worried that he would suffer from indigestion. Besides, things were different now. He no longer had the strength he used to have, and since he was following Philip, he had to curb his temper too. “This old geezer is very strong. We can’t go head-on with him,” Philip said as he led everyone away. Although there were many things in the Trove Guild, nothing caught Philip's fancy. This place even gave Philip a feeling of disgust. Maybe Philip no longer had a good impression of the Trove Guild because of their con
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
