Bill was very angry that someone so young dared to speak to him like that. “How dare you?!” He and his men guarded the door, waiting to teach Philip a lesson. Philip would step out of the door eventually, and it would mean certain death for him! They were not allowed to use energy inside Bijou Parlor, but no one said anything about outside. The moment Philip walked out of this building would mean his death! Everyone looked at Philip with worry, certain that he was no match for the other party. Although no one knew how strong Philip was, the age difference between the two said it all. Bill had more practical experience than Philip, and he was a very vicious and powerful henchman of the Larson family. Philip could never hope to defeat this old man. Aslan scoffed. “Who does this guy think he is? He shouldn't think he can do whatever he wants just because he's old. I won't buy that!” Everyone took their hats off Aslan’s bad temper, but they were worried about the outc
Everyone was lost in thought as Philip and Aslan commented on various pills. Some people thought Philip and Aslan could say such things because they had a strong background and foundation, while others thought they were simply showing off. How could so many amazing pills exist in this world? It was good enough for Philip to produce one. Besides, Philip had crushed the pill. No ordinary person could do such a stupid thing as turning a precious pill into powder. There were a lot of people who believed that it was an illusion conjured by Philip. Although everyone felt good after catching a whiff of that aroma, it was so crowded back then that each person only caught a whiff. Thus, it did not leave a great impact on them, so they gradually regarded it as Philip’s trick. Eventually, almost no one wanted to believe Philip anymore. They regarded him as a hypocrite instead. Philip could only express his exasperation at their opinions. Even so, he could not care less. He was
Bill could not wait to teach Philip a good lesson for his arrogance. He would never allow anyone to insult his dignity! If news of this incident spread, how was he supposed to maintain his reputation in Orbit City? Bill was arrogant because of his reputation, and no one dared to mess with him. He could not tolerate the fact that a young man slapped him in the face in public. Although Aslan only attacked his men, the result was the same. Bill reached out to grab Aslan’s throat. In Bill's opinion, this small move was enough to deal with him. Despite Aslan’s tall build, Bill was stronger. Just when Bill thought he could easily handle this, Aslan moved. He tilted his head and avoided the attack. Bill was startled at how Aslan dodged his attack so easily. He attacked with all his might just now. Aslan should be half-dead even if he survived, but he dodged the attack so easily. Bill’s mind raced. His expression became solemn, and his eyes contained a trace of ca
Figo had never cared about the lives and dignity of outsiders. They could not do anything here without money or power. As for Figo, he was practically the prince of this city. Except for his brothers and sisters who could quash him, no one could hold a candle to him. Aslan looked at him. Although Bill was wary, Aslan was unhappy with his attitude. “Stop acting all high and mighty at your age.” After saying this, he rushed out so fast that no one could react. Even Bill, who was on full alert, almost failed to respond. By the time he saw Aslan's afterimage, Aslan had arrived in front of him. Aslan attacked at full power this time. His seemingly casual move contained a lot of energy and blasted Bill into the wall across. Everyone watched in horror. Normally, they only saw Bill dealing with others and never the other way around. They finally saw it today! Some people applauded at this unbelievable scene. They had been bullied by Bill before. He was a villain i
This family had done many heinous deeds and harmed the lives of many people in Orbit City. Many practitioners chose to move away from this hellhole. Some people could not afford to live in the city and could only move to remote areas after their ability to practice was ruined. Tory could only reach out to them in secret and help them. He would be in trouble if these people knew what he did. As the mayor, Tory felt very frustrated and had been thinking of ways to restore his position. Getting rid of this vile family was the best option. However, this family’s roots had been deeply entrenched in this city for many years. As a mayor who was appointed much later, he simply could not touch them. Just when he thought there was no solution, hope appeared in front of him. It was none other than Philip in his strange attire. Although he agreed that Philip's attire was strange, Tory was an open-minded mayor. He felt that Philip could bring him many surprises. Maybe this y
Figo did not expect the person next to Philip to be so powerful. Bill was Figo's last hope. Now that Bill had been beaten to a pulp, Figo dared not say another word. After staring at Philip in horror, Figo ran away in a panic. The guards quickly followed suit, not forgetting to retrieve Bill from the wall. Philip and Aslan smiled at each other as they turned tail and left. The other party was quite strong but not enough to deal with them. Philip could torment them to death with his endless pills alone, not to mention other things. At this moment, someone walked up to Philip and handed him a letter. Philip stared at the other person cautiously. After confirming that there was no hostility, Philip accepted the letter. He knew that this letter was from a big shot. Shadow vanished from the spot after handing the letter to Philip as if he had never been here before. Philip did not expect that someone would contact him in this way. No one reacted as if they did not
Tory was surprised that Philip and Aslan arrived so quietly. Even the most powerful practitioner would leave some traces, but these two people floated over just like a gust of wind. Seeing the two in their strange attire, Tory greeted them politely, “I’m glad to see both of you.” He poured them some tea while almost choking with emotion. Aslan waved his hand and took out a can of soda. He had a recent addiction to soda and carried a lot with him. In his opinion, Philip’s storage ring was just nice to keep his snacks and drinks. Tory was surprised to see Aslan easily conjuring a strange item from the storage ring. Of course, he was more surprised that Aslan actually owned a storage ring at such a young age. With his qualifications and level, he only owned a storage bag. A person had to be at the Imperial City level to own a storage ring. Aslan scratched his head in embarrassment when he noticed Tory staring fixedly at his ring. Philip nudged Aslan. “Why don’t you
Philip smiled calmly. Even without the mayor, he could take care of this disgusting family. The mayor would simply make things faster. “It’s a deal. Don’t go back on your word!” Tory did not expect Philip to agree so readily. It was the first time a negotiation went so smoothly for him. Therefore, he was wary about this. However, as long as Philip did not deviate from the plan, he would not do anything either. After all, his purpose was to deal with the Larson family as quickly as possible. As long as he could get rid of the Larson family, many problems would be solved. However, it was easier said than done. The eldest son of the family who was far away in Imperial City played a very important role. If he found out that his family in Orbit City was destroyed, he would be angry and come after Tory. It would be great if the force behind Philip was strong enough to curb this matter. “By the way, my scout told me that you took out a pill in Bijou Parlor.” Tory w
“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
