“I decided to go with you to speak to the other guilds. I’m afraid they’ve been brainwashed by now,” Philip said helplessly. He made a prediction and understood many things. Although his fortune-telling ability was not as good as that of the Zucker family, he could somewhat find something. Skeeter seemed a little worried and said in exaggeration that if this matter was not handled well, everything would end in destruction. Philip marveled at Skeeter’s wild imagination. The Pill Guild's objective was not to destroy the world but simply to control the members. Leaders and elders of major guilds would not fall for this trick, but the members were different. They were weak and had limited resources. Young people nowadays could not stay away from their mobile phones, and practitioners were no exception. Philip looked at the number on the phone that was still growing and scowled. At this time, Aslan quietly slipped away from the game he was playing with Delia. He was su
If Aslan had not wasted some time playing games with Delia, he would not have been late. ‘I must find a chance to compete with him!’ Aslan thought, his fighting spirit surging. Fennel did not say a word until they reached the Smith Guild. “Don't think about it, I won't compete with you. I comprehended all my tracking and concealment techniques on my own.” After saying this, he disappeared in front of Aslan. Aslan felt embarrassed, afraid that Fennel had misunderstood his intention. Aslan did not want to challenge Fennel for real. He simply wanted to see who was better between them. Aslan quickly chased after Fennel, trying to explain. When he found Fennel, he was already making his report to Philip. “They're gathered at this location. I didn’t expect them to occupy a cave.” Fennel frowned. They must have taken many lives in the process. “Their wild ambitions are still burning strong. They’ll definitely turn up at the Smith Guild again.” Fennel heard a lot of ne
The Pill Guild was surprised to discover that Philip was not famous in Highford at all, making it difficult to find any information about him. Even Mila Clarke, who looked like a nice girl but was actually a devil in disguise, was more famous than Philip. The people from the Pill Guild quickly found some inside information, which was released by Philip on purpose. The elder of the Pill Guild returned to the cave to report his findings to Maurice. He went to great lengths to get this information. “Guild Leader, I finally figured out the situation!” he quickly told Maurice what he knew. The others stared at him keenly, waiting to unveil Philip’s air of mystery. “He’s just a casual practitioner. He doesn’t belong to any guild at all! His family members are ordinary people in the secular world. They're his weakness!” After saying this, he pulled a woman over. This was a family member of Philip whom he captured after he received the information. The news could easily be
Martha greedily took several big mouthfuls of air but did not open her eyes for fear that someone would notice her. As a smart woman, she knew that she had been kidnapped. She had to stay calm and find a way to escape. As Martha breathed deeply, a man said, “Stop playing dead. Stand up.” Martha spat a mouthful of blood. She looked up in horror and realized that this guy was actually a practitioner. It was none other than Maurice. After the elder of the Pill Guild brought Martha in, she kept playing dead. Practitioners like them could easily tell, so Martha’s actions were completely exposed under their noses. Martha felt a little embarrassed. She wiped the blood from her mouth and stood up. Martha did not dare to show any disrespect in front of practitioners. Martha only bullied those weaker than her. The only practitioner she dared to pick on was probably Philip. These people seemed quite imposing in their long robes, but they looked very fierce and made it clear th
“I’m Philip’s mother-in-law, not his biological mother,” Martha explained nervously, afraid that they would over-complicate the relationship between her and Philip. “I see. Keep an eye on this woman. She’ll be of great use later.” Since Martha had admitted her identity, they could not refuse such good bait. Since she was Philip's mother-in-law, he could not turn a blind eye to her no matter how good or bad their relationship was.… In the meantime, the meeting at the Smith Guild had turned into a heated discussion. To be precise, Skeeter was the only person talking. Skeeter came up with a series of plans to deal with the Pill Guild. As the most senior member, he was confident that his strength could not be underestimated. He spoke in a commanding tone as if he was the boss of everyone. Aslan never liked people like him, and he could not help but snap, “Since you’re so enthusiastic about this topic, what were you doing when the Smith Guild was in trouble earlier?” S
Delia felt sick at the sight of Skeeter's disgusting face. “Wow, you’re so lucky to have been away when the guild was in trouble. And you coincidentally returned when everything was over!” Aslan was very sarcastic, making it obvious that he disliked Skeeter. Delia chuckled. Everyone knew what Aslan meant. After Skeeter heard some rumors, he quickly said that he wanted to go out to experience the world and left without hesitation. It was very unlike him. After the incident happened, everyone knew what was going on, and no one had a good impression of Skeeter. Seeing Skeeter's attitude, Emery was about to tell him of the decision to follow Philip when Skeeter said to Aslan, “Hehe, I don’t need to listen to you. Losers like you aren't worthy of speaking to me.” Skeeter did not take Aslan seriously at all. After that, he turned around and said, “You just need to follow my plans. When the Pill Guild turns up again, we can take them down by working together.” He made the de
Delia complained, “Skeeter used to work at the resource office. When our members wanted to collect their monthly practice resource, they’d be humiliated by his harsh words! We didn’t know about it until things became so serious that we had to transfer him!” Emery felt a little embarrassed too. After all, Skeeter remained at the guild with his consent. Although Skeeter’s character was not good, Emery valued his weapon-smithing skills. “I always thought that as long as his smithing talent is good, we could overlook his character flaws. But now it seems that I was too naïve!” Emery felt that he had made a mistake. He thought that Skeeter would turn over a new leaf as he grew older, but he became more and more aggressive instead. Maybe he was so conceited because he had Emery to back him up. “I think you need to take Skeeter in hand. With his character, he’ll get into trouble sooner or later!” Aslan grumbled. Philip smiled. Although he disliked Skeeter too, he had a feeli
“Hey, you’re finally awake. Some bad guys kidnapped us. They probably want to do something to our family members. I think you’re a practitioner. Can you take me away with you?” Martha felt very excited to see this groggy man. She felt that she could escape this place with his help. People from the Pill Guild were out on their missions, leaving very few people in the cave. If this guy was a practitioner, he should be able to defeat other practitioners and they could escape. Martha shed tears of joy at the thought of leaving this place. Skeeter scowled at Martha’s remarks. He thought she was a practitioner in the same plight as him, but she turned out to be just an ordinary person. He was unwilling to take such a stupid ordinary person with him. She would only drag him down. Moreover, he was not happy with the way she greeted him. Even though she knew he was a practitioner, she did not show him any respect at all. Skeeter wondered what she was thinking. He said angr
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
