Everyone thought Martha was in trouble again, but the truth was that she had arranged a blind date for Wynn! This was simply unbelievable. Wynn was happily married with kids. How could she go on a blind date? “What are you talking about? What about Philip?” Noelle was furious and wished she could kill Martha. Montel frowned and made a prediction. He scowled and said, “According to my prediction, this woman will force Wynn to go on the blind date!” Montel's eyes were filled with murderous intent. They knew that Wynn would never cheat on Philip. She valued kinship very much. Maybe she would choose to compromise and go on the blind date under Martha's pressure, but they did not want to place Wynn in a difficult spot. “We have to do something about this,” Aslan said flatly. He did not like Martha at all. Philip was obviously a man with the best potential, but Martha was still dissatisfied with him. Who else would treat Philip in this manner? If not for the sake of f
Everyone was surprised by Philip’s sudden appearance and shuddered in fright. They fell into an awkward silence, at a loss for what to say. Philip should not be listening to their topic of discussion. Everyone had not discussed how to break the news to Philip when he returned. Seeing their awkward expressions, Philip became even more confused. He caught hold of Aslan as he was about to sneak away. “What’s going on? Spit it out,” Philip urged. He knew that something big had to be happening. Aslan turned to the others for help but no one knew what to say. Seeing the fearless Aslan looking so hesitant, Philip smiled brightly. “What are you afraid of?” Philip teased. After much deliberation, Aslan finally told Philip the truth. This matter could not be hidden for long. Philip was not angry as if everything was within his expectations. Everyone panicked at his stoic face. They thought he was heartbroken with despair. Everyone gathered around anxiously to console
Wynn left the room. She did not want to pay attention to Martha even though she was her mother. Martha was angry about Wynn’s attitude. She had no choice but to contact the rich young practitioner. “I'm really sorry. My daughter hasn't been feeling well lately, so she can't see you for the time being.” Martha lied awkwardly, at a loss for what to say. She had promised him to get things done, but everything turned out differently. She could not control Wynn at all. “It’s okay. I have a good feeling about your daughter. Let me visit her this afternoon.” The other party ended the call after saying this, and Martha was dumbfounded by the beeping tone. How did things turn out like this? She would be doomed if the other party really turned up at her doorstep. The most important thing was Wynn’s unchanging attitude. It would be embarrassing if the two of them met. While Martha panicked, she heard the news of Philip's return. Martha was stunned. She thought Philip w
Martha was doing everything for Wynn’s good. Moreover, Philip obviously had no bright future. Why would Wynn stay with him? “Don't talk to me about the money. You transferred it to me. If I’m not mistaken, you earned the money. Why give him the credit? If you weren't that good at earning money, Philip wouldn’t be a kept man.” What did it matter if Philip got lucky recently? He was no match for other practitioner families. Martha still looked down on Philip until now. “I’m telling you, handle that guy yourself. Don’t let it affect our daily lives!” Wynn finally lost her temper and left the room without wasting more time with her mother. She would let Martha solve the problem she created. Martha panicked at Wynn’s indifference. What should she do if Wynn refused to meet the other party? After much hesitation, Martha set her sights on other women in the villa. She could ask the other single ladies to stage an act with her. Martha quickly came up with another plan.
This young sir was also the heir of the Lint family, so he should not be underestimated. Martha had gone to great lengths to introduce Wynn to him. This guy might not even take a second glance at Wynn if not for her beauty. As Martha was almost out of her mind with anxiety, the doorbell of the villa rang. Everyone wondered who was at the door. Martha's expression changed, and her face went pale. Aslan opened the door in curiosity and saw a flashy man with a bouquet of roses in his hands. Aslan frowned and made no move to let the visitor inside. This man looked familiar. As someone who was addicted to the internet, Aslan felt as though he had seen this person before. Although visitors should be treated as guests, Aslan did not share the same thought. The other party was holding a bouquet of roses, making it clear that he was here to find a woman. How many ladies in this villa were single, and who would take a fancy to this man? Aslan knew everything. “Who are
The purpose of Bruno’s visit was to meet Wynn in person. He had seen her photo and knew she was beautiful, befitting of his aesthetics. Moreover, she was a practitioner. A beautiful practitioner was definitely qualified to be his wife. Unfortunately, her family status was nothing to shout about, or she would have been perfect. Bruno had decided that if she was really that beautiful, he would overcome all odds and marry Wynn. If Martha was making things up, he would not let her off. Bruno looked at Martha expectantly, waiting for her to invite Wynn out. Martha was at a loss for what to do. Coincidentally, Philip walked by at this time. He was on his way to see the kids. Bruno saw Philip and felt something was wrong. This man seemed like his love rival. Although they did not know each other, Bruno did not have a good impression of Philip. Philip glanced at Bruno but paid him no heed. That guy looked like a thug. He was up to no good at a glance. Since Mart
Everyone was carrying some snack boxes in their hands and walking through the living room while laughing. Bruno immediately recognized Wynn, who stood out in the crowd. Mature, warm, and charming, she was a rare beauty, indeed. The women around Wynn were also very good-looking, simply a feast for the eyes. “Hello, Wynn, I’m Bruno Lint. Your mother must've mentioned me to you.” Bruno wiped his drool and walked forward like a gentleman, wanting to shake Wynn's hand. He seemed very triumphant, confident that Martha must have told Wynn every detail about him. After all, they should cherish a wealthy son-in-law like him. Moreover, no one else seemed to be a practitioner. He did not sense any vibes or energy fluctuations around them, so Bruno naturally assumed they were ordinary people. In today's society, practitioners were invincible. All practitioners could not wait to show off their energy and throw their weight around. Bruno used to be like that, but he gradually r
Bruno could not wait to teach these ignorant people a good lesson, but for the sake of his image, he had to contain his anger and continue to smile at everyone. “Wynnie, your mother said you were sick, so I’m here to see you. Are you feeling better now?” After saying this, Bruno handed the flowers to Wynn. This large bouquet of roses was very expensive, but it was nothing to a rich young man like him. Everyone felt that the flowers were an eyesore. Philip was about to say something when Aslan stopped him. As a righteous man, Aslan wanted to speak up for Philip. “With my many years of TV-watching experience, it’s time for me to make an appearance.” Aslan stepped forward and pushed Bruno with all his might. His physical fitness was not for show. Bruno could not withstand this even if he was a practitioner. Bruno never dreamed that a bodyguard would suddenly attack him and make him stagger back. The audacity of this man. Bruno lost his temper and smashed the roses
“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
