The best way to avoid future retaliation was to get rid of everyone. Philip's thinking was always so simple and crude. In his opinion, it was not too difficult to deal with them, but he had to watch out for their underhanded tricks. “I feel so happy here that I don’t want to return to my guild anymore,” Delia grumbled with anticipation. Philip smiled helplessly. Delia had to return to her guild. She was the young leader of the Smith Guild. How could Philip keep this talented girl here for no reason? With the protection of Philip and the others, the children did not pay any attention to what just happened. They soaked in the potion baths and gradually relaxed. To Philip's surprise, the twin siblings were the strongest among them. They did not feel much pain, and their potion turned clear the fastest. Philip was very surprised by their talents and decided to groom them properly. Simply based on their good personalities alone, Philip would never treat them badly. … Mea
Shawn noticed everyone’s dissatisfaction and finally decided to use the most extreme method to solve this problem. “Don't worry, everyone. I’ll contact someone from the reclusive faction to avenge us. Leave this to me. I’ll handle it perfectly,” Shawn said smugly, confident that he could take care of Philip. “Since you have a way to resolve it, we’ll leave it to you. I hope you can restore the guild's reputation as soon as possible and stop those arrogant guys from getting their way,” Joseph said loftily, very unhappy with Shawn. He would take this opportunity to sow discord between other elders and the leader. After dealing with Shawn, his status would rise quickly. Taking the position of guild leader would not be a problem. Shawn nodded. He knew exactly what Joseph was thinking. “Don’t worry, Great Elder Joseph, I won't let you down,” Shawn said through gritted teeth. He turned around and returned to his room without wasting any more time with these people. He had to
The other party spoke nonchalantly without regarding Philip as a difficult opponent. Shawn told him everything he knew about Philip, and the black figure vanished after that. As the energy fluctuations dissipated into thin air, Shawn relaxed. The few minutes of conversation were enough to fill him with fear. He wondered how the other party became so powerful. Since he had received the promise from the reclusive faction, he believed he could make a comeback with the Oncidium Guild soon. Shawn felt a little nervous as he stared at the crack that just appeared on the jade token. He recalled how he met the other party. The Oncidium Guild was not very powerful back then and was in a state of stagnation. Just when he thought there was no hope left, he saw an old man in plain clothes walking past his door. The old man said that he had a good impression of Shawn and wanted to give him a technique, which could help him take over other factions that were about to close down.
Philip did not ask Montel to make a prediction for him, but the senior members of the Zucker family were doing it for him at this time. Their existence was to serve the descendants of the Clarke family. Other than completing some daily duties, their most important task was to make predictions for Philip and pay attention to every movement in his life. Therefore, the Zucker family had to be very strong to prevent any backlash. “Patriarch, based on my prediction, I think something is wrong.” An old man with gray hair frowned. He was someone with stronger fortune-telling abilities in the Zucker family. The others also looked at their prediction results with troubled expressions. “There's something wrong with this. This prediction points to someone from a reclusive family or faction. Are those old freaks making a comeback?” The Zucker family was puzzled and nervous. The secular practice world usually did not interact with the reclusive world. The reclusive faction was ver
“Dad, why didn’t you contact me through the software like you usually do? Is there an emergency?” Montel could not figure out why his father would call him. Did he miss him so much? His father chastised Montel before he finished talking, “Have you forgotten all about your fortune-telling abilities already? I can tell at a glance that you haven't made any predictions for the young patriarch recently. We noticed something in our predictions.” Montel listened to his father’s message and froze. From his father, he learned a lot about the reclusive factions, which he had never heard of before. After the call, Montel was a little confused and could not react for a while. Several minutes had passed before he returned to his senses. Montel quickly grabbed hold of Philip and took him to a corner. “Why didn’t you answer your phone?” Philip was puzzled and took out his phone, which had turned off because the battery was out of power. “It’s been a while since I’ve used a mobile p
The outside world was far better than the reclusive world in every aspect. If the other party came into contact with the secular world and fell in love with this place, they would have certain thoughts about it. With their strength, taking over this world was a piece of cake. Philip sneered. That stupid guild was simply asking for trouble. “What should we do next? Fight them?” Montel was wary. If the other party was really that powerful, it would be difficult for them to resist. Philip was cautious. He knew that this was the biggest problem he had ever encountered. Montel had never seen such caution in Philip before. He felt a little nervous and wanted to comfort Philip. “Tell Aslan and the others to leave the women here to look after the children. Let’s gather in the study.” Philip waved his hand and went to the study. Montel became serious and informed everyone about it. Everyone was laughing and joking earlier, but they fell silent upon seeing Montel’s expressi
“Cut the crap and spit it out,” Philip said in a huff. Aslan cowered in fear. Only Philip could intimidate him like this. “I’ve known about the reclusive factions long ago, but I’m most familiar with the Beast Taming Guild. That damned guild captured many of our people back then, and even I was not spared from harm. "Fortunately, my father was amazing enough to take me back from them, or I’d have been their slave now!” Aslan briefly recounted his story, and Philip's expression became serious. Through the Beast Taming Guild, he could already tell the difference between their practice levels. In today's secular world of practitioners, almost no one could raise a monster beast as a pet. However, the reclusive world had a specialized guild that captured and trained monster beasts. Philip had to admit that the reclusive world was very much ahead of the secular world. “Although the reclusive world sounds small and mysterious, there are many guilds as far as I know! Of course,
After Philip left some instructions for the upcoming arrangements, he locked himself in the room. With Arthur's help, all the villas nearby belonged to Philip. The whole area was surrounded by high walls, clearly marking their territory. Arthur was very supportive of their actions and did not raise any objections. With this move, Philip had clearly decided to stay and develop his force in this place. Arthur was very excited to help his old friend keep an eye on his grandchild. At this moment, Greg and his puppets stared at the towering walls eagerly. After studying at the academy for some time, he made some breakthroughs in the art of controlling puppets. Greg was a smart person and could integrate the knowledge taught in the academy into his twisted techniques. Thus, his art of puppetry had reached new heights. “It’s embarrassing to have these losers as my puppets. I should have the best puppets!” Greg said with disdain, very dissatisfied with these useless puppets.
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
