Wynn awkwardly apologized to Aslan and seemed very embarrassed. “I’m sorry that my mother caused you so much trouble. That's just the way she is. I hope you don’t mind. Just turn a deaf ear to her!” Wynn was very gentle and did not put on any airs at all. Everyone was taken aback. As Philip’s wife, everyone would greet her with respect when they saw her. However, Wynn was so nice. She was neither arrogant because of Philip nor blamed them without cause. Everyone was very touched and respected Wynn all the more. Wynn realized that they would be unhappy if she ignored this matter. It would also ruin the team spirit that Philip had worked so hard to build. As a sensible woman, Wynn knew what she had to do. Aslan did not expect that Wynn would actually apologize to him. Aslan had always felt that Wynn should be a powerful woman, and arrogance came with power. However, Wynn’s gentle demeanor gave him a very strange feeling. “I didn’t mean to treat her that way either.
“Many years ago, I suggested moving our businesses to the secular world. If my suggestion had been accepted back then, we’d have moved there already! After wasting so many years, we're still finding ourselves having to send someone to explore the world!” The elders had strong opinions about this. They felt that their leader had overlooked their suggestions back then. The leader was embarrassed to hear everyone’s harsh criticisms. “That’s enough, everyone. Let’s stop with these comments and focus on sending someone to the secular world instead. The Espada Guild was very quick to send someone to enter the secular world. We, the Scirocco Guild, have to catch up!” The leader waved his hand and decided on a candidate to enter the secular world. He could not wait any longer. The Scirocco Guild had always been at loggerheads with the Espada Guild. They were on par with each other and always competed with each other for first place. Now that the other party had sent someone into
Cadmus wondered why he took a fancy to Shawn back then and even gave him the chance to develop. “Sir, there’s nothing I can do. That brat is very powerful!” Shawn said awkwardly. He really hated Philip to the core. Cadmus snorted and said, “You’re really useless. I wonder how you caught my eye back then! Give me his address. I’ll capture him, turn him into an invalid in front of everyone, and restore your reputation!” Shawn felt relieved at Cadmus’ promise. No matter how Cadmus humiliated him, Shawn was happy as long as Cadmus was willing to help him. “This guy is on good terms with the Smith Guild, so I believe the Smith Guild is supporting him. The Highford Practitioner Academy is also his support, and he lives there now!” Shawn said anxiously. Shawn kept painting a bad picture of Philip and disclosed everything he knew about Philip, including the forces behind him. Cadmus was very disdainful of Shawn’s obvious fear. “What’s the big deal about these two forces? The
Although Arthur had heard of mighty beings of the other shore, he had never seen one. This was his first encounter! He quickly arrived at the periphery of the villa and found it intact despite the great impact. “A protective boundary? Is it a formation?” Arthur carefully explored the villa area and found that his senses seemed to vanish into thin air. An old man stood at the villa entrance, peering inside angrily. “Damn it, what formation can actually withstand a full blow of mine?” In addition to anger, there was also fear in his eyes. A person with this formation was not that simple. If he had a huge force behind him, Cadmus could not afford to mess with him. “Where did this old man come from? Why are you cursing and attacking other people’s homes for no reason?” Aslan said unhappily. He knew that this old man was quite strong and not someone he could afford to offend. Although Aslan had restored his level to the late stage of the seventh zone, he was still no m
“Mr. Hobart!” Philip was a little flustered. He knew that Arthur was no match for that old man! Arthur gently patted Philip on the shoulder and said, “Let me do this.” His tone was heavy, even sad! “In that case, let me kill you first.” Cadmus snorted coldly. His five senses were much better than Arthur's. He could easily dodge Arthur's attacks. Although Arthur was old, he was very fast. He could nimbly handle three or four half-steps to the other shore attacking him at the same time. As he darted in front of Cadmus and was about to draw his sword, Cadmus made his move. He raised his right hand lightly and made a slapping motion. An explosion was heard in the air, and Arthur was hit as he darted through the air. Arthur spat out a mouthful of blood, but he fought on courageously without backing down. He stomped on the ground, flipped his sword around, and attacked Cadmus. The battle between two people at the peak of their strength distorted the air around them. Cha
Philip carefully helped Arthur to Aslan's side. He turned back and stared at Cadmus indifferently. “Cut the crap, old man,” Philip sneered, angry at the other party’s arrogance. He would not let Arthur suffer for no reason! Cadmus was surprised that Philip was so stubborn in the face of death. “Stop acting tough, you brat. Let me teach you a good lesson!” After thinking about it, he decided to pry the information about the pills from Philip. If he could get hold of those pills, he could practically dominate the whole reclusive practice world. At that time, anyone who belittled him before would kneel before him! Thinking of this, he softened his tone and ‘kindly’ looked at Philip. “Do you know that I’m a pseudo other shore? Does a loser like you who has not even reached a half step to the other shore dare to be my enemy? I see that you have a strong will and have some weird things with you. "If you become my subordinate, I can spare your life and allow all of you to su
“Sure enough, talents emerge at a young age. Philip is indeed worthy of admiration!” Arthur looked at his wounds in shock. He was healed! The other party had given him a fatal blow, but he managed to heal a few minutes later! Although it would take some time before he completely returned to normal, he was almost healed! The pills given by Philip were simply a wonder! At the same time, Arthur knew that these pills would definitely attract Cadmus’ attention. If the other party could not get them from Philip, he would do his best to kill Philip! Although Philip seemed to have the upper hand, Cadmus had not taken action yet! Cadmus sneered at Philip’s display. “You’re very strong, indeed. But that’s nothing to me!” Cadmus' eyes flashed with malice. He thought of sparing Philip’s life at first, but this brat was ignorant and did not know what was good for him. Cadmus swung his hammer and clashed with Philip’s sword. Sparks flew, and lights dazzled. A burst of ene
With that thought in mind, Cadmus’ expression became malicious as he planned his next fatal attack. He had no time to waste. That guy could heal rapidly with those miracle pills in hand. If this continued, he might end up dead instead! Everyone watched the fight in silent distress. They had a feeling that Philip was not going to make it! They felt sad and depressed, but they knew that Philip would not admit defeat so easily. Wynn looked at Philip nervously, her eyes filled with tears. This was the first time she saw Philip in a fight. Although Philip was not in a bad situation, he was covered in blood and looked pretty miserable. Wynn could hardly imagine how Philip managed to survive alone in the outside world! Philip took a few seconds to quickly regain his strength, and his depleted energy was restored. This time, he decided to take the initiative without holding back. Everyone would suffer if he could not defeat the enemy with one move! Countless sword shado
“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
