Clementine looked at Philip eagerly, hoping that she could enjoy a potion bath too. “Philip, why don't you let me try it out after Mila is done?” Clementine knew that this potion was extremely valuable, so she did not ask for much. She simply wanted to find an opportunity to get some scraps. Philip laughed at her pitiful look. “Are you not afraid of the pain now?” Philip clearly remembered Clementine’s look of pain just now. Clementine felt a little embarrassed at Philip’s teasing. She waved her hand nonchalantly and said, “Although it does hurt, it’s nothing compared to my future!” Clementine knew the value of this potion and would fight for it no matter what. “I’ll prepare this potion for all of you in a few days. As long as anyone is sincere about joining my team, everyone will have to go through this torture!” Philip chuckled. Since he wanted to build his team, he had to ensure that everyone was the strongest elite. Clementine jumped for joy at Philip’s words
Neither the classmates nor the teachers at her school dared to mess with Mila. Of course, there was one exception, a little girl with excellent family conditions. Although not as good as Mila's family, she could be considered a little princess in Highford. This girl always bullied Mila back then. Mila had always been a kind and gentle kid. Even if someone bullied her, she would not take it to heart, let alone use her family's power to oppress others. Besides, Mila was still a child back then and did not know such things. As Mila grew up, she recalled how that little girl bullied her and felt unhappy. She remembered where the girl lived. Since she was in Highford, she would visit the girl and confront her about it. Mila soon arrived at the door of a luxurious villa. The butler was curious about the sudden appearance of this little girl. “I’m looking for Fanny,” Mila said delicately. The butler’s heart melted at the sight of this cute girl. He guessed that this li
Mila did not plan to cause trouble. She simply wanted Fanny to apologize to her. When Fanny was in Riverdale back then, she always bad mouthed Mila, even saying that she must be a bad child because her father was always never around. However, Mila was very sensible and knew that her father was busy, so she never caused trouble. Even if she heard such things, she simply kept them in mind. Now that Mila found out that her father was a practitioner, Mila felt more resentful toward Fanny. “My dad is just very busy. It’s not that he’s not around.” Fanny was confused by Mila’s abrupt statement. “My dad said that your dad is always not at home, and he went missing later. He must have run away!” Fanny's words became more and more unpleasant, and Mila could not bear it anymore. Mila’s energy surged, and a wave of energy rushed at Fanny. This energy was so rich and abundant that even old-time practitioners would think that it was amazing. After practicing for a while, their
In comparison, Fanny was lagging for not coming into contact with practice yet. Fanny was jealous and wished she could take over Mila’s life. Mila frowned. She did not remember who Harry was. “I don’t care. You said it in front of me, so you must take responsibility for it.” After saying this, Mila released her restraint on Fanny, and the latter dropped from a high altitude. Mr. Guthrie quickly stepped in. He was employed by the Lowell family, so he could not let anything happen to Fanny. Fanny was overjoyed at the sight of Mr. Guthrie. She knew that Mr. Guthrie was very powerful and could crush Mila easily. Mila looked at the old man in front of her nervously. She felt an extremely powerful pressure from the other party. Although the pressure was less than what her father accidentally unleashed, this person was far stronger than her. Mr. Guthrie was surprised that his pressure did not intimidate the little girl. If he knew that Mila was used to this pressure,
By this time, Mila had completed her revenge and returned to the academy leisurely. She even bought some delicious pastries along the way, which caused a sensation among the others. Everyone thought Mila went out to buy food and did not think too much about it. Only Philip was solemn. He was not a fool. Of course, he knew Mila was out for mischief. He had noticed the moment Mila vanished. At first, Philip thought she went out to buy food like everyone else. He finally realized something was wrong when someone arrived at the door. Mila was new to this place, so what could she do? “Philip, someone from the Lowell family wants to speak to you!” Montel barged in and said to Philip. The Lowell family was not very powerful. Before they had children back then, they earned a living by reselling some inferior goods. In an unexpected turn of events, they made a name for themselves. The Lowell family had enjoyed their fame for ten years. It was time for another family to
Dillon spoke calmly with a trace of displeasure on his face. He hated these parents who did not discipline their kids well. Although Fanny was in the same situation, he watched her as she grew up, after all. This feeling of non-related kinship was not something others could compare with. Dillon sneered and walked forward. “I hope you can teach this brat a good lesson! Little girl, you’re finished. I won’t repeat myself. This is my last chance for you and your family. Of course, I can consider forgiving you if you do something for me.” Dillon smiled as if he was a different person. Mila glanced at her father and smiled awkwardly and innocently. “Dad…” Philip was confused, wondering what happened. How could his daughter hurt someone? Nonetheless, he patiently invited Dillon to the reception room for a chat. All the rooms in this villa were very lively. The others received the potion from Philip and quickly went for a soak. As a result, everyone screamed and howled i
Mila glanced at Philip awkwardly and hugged her mother. Although Mila liked her father very much, she was afraid of him when she was in the wrong. Mila could not imagine how her father would deal with her when no one was around! Wynn was confused, wondering what happened to Mila today. Mila usually acted like a baby with her father, but she approached her instead. However, Mila’s antics looked so heartwarming that everyone simply looked at her cheerfully. At this moment, Montel approached Philip with his tablet. “Philip, I found something.” Philip had told him to check up on Greg, and he made arrangements for someone to carry it out. Among so many new students recruited into this academy, some would come from ordinary families and have simple personalities. These people were Montel’s target. Montel secretly recruited a group of students in Philip’s name. He used his specialized means to test these people. After weeding out several undercovers, he successfully recrui
Philip explained his idea in detail and everyone was moved. Their plan would be more than half completed if they could join Kronos. Noelle was particularly excited. Noelle had served the Trove Guild wholeheartedly for so many years but got nothing in the end. Instead, she was harmed by the other party. Trove Guild and Kronos were deeply engraved in Noelle’s heart, and she vowed to seek revenge. “Philip, leave this to me. I can't wait to destroy Kronos,” Noelle said anxiously, fearing that Philip would deprive her of the opportunity. The others looked at Philip solemnly, wanting this opportunity too. Philip felt very satisfied with their fighting spirit. “Don't worry, everyone will get the chance to infiltrate Kronos.” Philip grinned brightly. He knew that this was the best way to enter Kronos. After they finished discussing the plan and were distributing camouflage pills, Mr. Hobart knocked on the door of their villa anxiously. Clementine opened the door and saw t
“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
