Aslan stepped forward with disdain. These people were not worthy of Philip’s attention. “Does this thing belong to you?” Aslan tossed the token to the floor in disdain. Joseph looked at the token at his feet and trembled in fright. As members of the Oncidium Guild, they knew who this token belonged to. “So, are you here to cause trouble?” Joseph said angrily. Putting aside the token, they had to deal with these enemies first. “Hand Preston over.” Aslan beckoned with his hand, and Joseph felt a force pushing him toward Aslan. Before Joseph realized what was going on, he was already in front of Aslan. “Hand him over without pulling any tricks.” Aslan raised his brows, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes. Philip stood behind Aslan and stared at the elders. Although they were not weak, he was not an uninformed fool either. He alone could easily deal with them. Joseph shuddered in fright at Aslan’s oppressive threat. “John, report this situation t
John trembled in fear and horror. He recalled vividly how Joseph was pulled over just now. He would have passed out in fright if that were to happen to him. He was just an ordinary elder in charge of administration, not someone with powerful practice! He was truly helpless in the face of such an enemy. “It’s not the Stein family but a bunch of young people,” John said nervously, afraid of offending Shawn. Shawn said in disdain, “Let’s see what they can do!” After saying this, he walked out without taking this matter seriously at all. Preston smiled brightly upon hearing the conversation between the two. He was right. Philip was here to save him, but he did not expect Philip to arrive so quickly! “Tend to my son properly. If you can’t bring him back to normal, I’ll bury the whole Stein family with you!” Shawn threatened Preston before leaving the room with John. John was quite good at administration, but his strength was too weak. If he had not groomed a few talented m
That man was standing in the crowd without any sense of presence as if he were invisible. If not for the technique he practiced, Shawn would not have noticed Philip’s existence. A man who could merge into his surroundings was the most terrifying. If this man appeared behind him without him knowing, he would be dead for sure. “Your friend or the friend of the person behind you?” Shawn said thoughtfully. Shawn stared at Philip apprehensively. He actually felt fear! The leader of the Oncidium Guild, whose strength had reached a half-step to the other shore, was actually afraid of a young man? He was very upset with this feeling, even humiliated. This man had caused him such a serious psychological impact without even doing anything but standing there. Had this young man reached a half-step to the other shore too? Shawn explored with his senses but found that his consciousness was like a drop in the ocean without causing a ripple. He had no choice but to stand on gu
No ordinary character could manipulate lightning to knock them out without resorting to techniques or energy fluctuations. Everyone was afraid of Philip, so they chose to avoid his group and attack the members of the Smith Guild instead. They were on par with each other and should not suffer a huge disadvantage. The elders did not stand by idly either. They knew that these members could not deal with them, so they had to make a move. John stood silently behind the crowd. He was not very strong, and his participation would not make a difference. Shawn looked at them in disappointment. He thought it would be easy to deal with them, but that was not the case. His men could not even deal with the other party’s followers. “Damn it, I spent so much time and money on you guys, but you’re nothing but wimps and losers when it's time to take action!” Shawn could not take it anymore and wanted to take action himself. However, with his status as the guild leader, he would be labe
Others stopped what they were doing and turned to look at the screaming Leonard in confusion. In their impression, Leonard was an elegant young man who acted calmly in any situation. It was interesting to see Leonard in such a miserable state today. The members who were always bullied by Leonard smiled mockingly but quickly composed themselves. They did not dare to laugh at the young leader in front of so many people. Aslan and the others glanced at Leonard’s miserable state with interest. The women turned their heads away. Leonard’s clothes were as good as not wearing any. They were extremely unsightly. Aslan had never been a shy person. He looked at Leonard thoughtfully and mockingly. “I always thought that humans would never lose to monster beasts. This has finally unraveled my quandary. Are all humans like this?” Aslan looked at Philip and Montel curiously. Philip averted his gaze in embarrassment. Who would be willing to answer that question? Montel coughed a
Shawn vowed to kill everyone! “How dare you?!” Shawn was so angry that his whole body was shaking. A sword appeared in his hand. Waves of sword energy attacked Philip while everyone went running. This guy was getting serious. Philip stood motionless amidst the sword energy. He raised his chin slightly and sneered mockingly. Philip waved his hand. With a roar, lightning struck, neutralizing the sword energy. Thunderstorms raged throughout the Oncidium Guild, making it difficult for everyone to open their eyes. Philip made a grabbing motion at the sky. The pouring rain stopped, replaced by a biting cold wind. As the cold wind blew, many members were frozen into icicles. Even the elders who did not run in time faced the same plight and looked miserable. It was not over yet! Philip moved again, and flames appeared next. Their frozen legs were burned by the mysterious flames, and the sight of burning flesh was ghastly. Shawn tried to use his energy to block the
The elders panicked and stood aside in silence. Everyone was scared out of their wits. The attacks just now did leave some traces on them, but Philip was focused on dealing with Shawn and did not target them. No one could imagine what would happen if all the attacks landed on them. Since Philip was dealing with Shawn, Montel and the others took care of the rest. The guild members had lost the ability to resist and put up no fight. The only problem was the elders. They were prideful and would not give in so easily. However, Philip had frightened them so much that they did not resist either. “Is that it?” Montel found it unbelievable. He thought the Oncidium Guild was very powerful, but this was all they had. The people from the Smith Guild were ecstatic and proud to have taken down these arrogant people. They were usually not allowed to fight, not to mention dealing with large factions like the Oncidium Guild. Thanks to Philip, they managed to clean up the trash an
It was interesting to hear everyone claim that their leader was a half-step to the other shore. Shawn panicked as his secret was exposed. Would the image he had finally established in front of these members be destroyed today? “What? The seventh zone? Really?” John, the only survivor, was puzzled. As he was too weak, Philip did not target him at all. That was why he escaped unscathed. John was extremely surprised to hear that. He had fought alongside Shawn before and knew Shawn could not be in the seventh zone. “Since we've found Preston and taught them a good lesson, let’s go.” Philip issued the command and left with his people. He was not curious to find out what happened to Shawn. He just needed to know that Shawn was a loser. Aslan promptly followed suit, unwilling to stay here a second longer. The members of the Smith Guild looked back with every step. Although rueful that they could not continue to deal with the Oncidium Guild, they were proud of today’s battl
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
