Unexpectedly, the man turned against Scarlet. The man bowed to Philip robotically. He was terrified. The look in Philip’s eyes was terrifying, and the killing intent jolted him awake. As someone who often went hunting in the forest, he swore that he had never seen such strong murderous intent in the eyes of any beast. That made him even more scared. Scarlet pulled the man up and scolded him harshly, “What are you doing? Don’t back down now! Even if no one supports us, we need to stand on moral ground and charge him!” Scarlet had not noticed that her charm was wearing off. Seeing her smug look. Philip finally could not take it anymore. “Put away your charm spell. That thing has no effect here,” Philip said in front of everyone, and Scarlet was dumbfounded. In the past, many powerful people knew that Scarlet used this trick to bewitch others, but no one bothered to expose her. For Philip to mention it today was like a slap to her face. Scarlet lost her confidence
At this time, Aslan, who had polished his art of sarcasm, took the stage. “Don’t say that. Don’t you think she’s pretty?” Aslan was out investigating this incident when it happened and only just made it back. After learning the truth, Aslan became more annoyed. “Do you think she’s pretty?” “Hey, are your eyes giving up on you at such a young age?” “I think the employee at Treasure House is the prettiest of all!” Everyone mocked Aslan for not appreciating true beauty. Aslan replied unhurriedly, “No, just look at her beautiful eyes. She has two of them—no more, no less!” Everyone burst out laughing when they figured out Aslan’s sarcasm. He was clearly saying that Scarlet was ugly. Everyone had two eyes and one mouth, but this woman somehow looked strange. What could be done? Scarlet was dumbfounded. Her face was the pride of her life. Although the distance between her eyes was a bit wider and her nose was a bit bigger, she had big eyes and an oval face. Combin
At this time, Aslan dragged a man out in front of everyone. He was away for a while because Philip had told him to find the truth. Philip wanted the evidence to speak for itself. It was not difficult to find that second-hand dealer. Aslan simply had to ask around to find that person. This guy had always been lurking around in major hangouts to find those single and dejected people. These people would always be at a loss after a few drinks, and he could take that opportunity to sell them some pills. They would usually buy some pills without thinking, and it would be too late by the time they realized they had been deceived. After all, he was a practitioner. Once the victim turned into an ordinary human and wanted to cause trouble for him, he could handle the situation easily. Unexpectedly, the person who came after him today was a powerful practitioner who defeated him in minutes. At this moment, Aslan pushed him in front of the crowd. The man fell to the ground and
However, Philip doubted this loser’s words. Philip tapped his finger on Dickens’ head, and a golden light entered his body. Dickens quickly confessed his crimes, including the identities of the buyers. He claimed that he did not know anything, but he knew it all. These people bought his pills some time ago. They had probably eaten the pills and died of poisoning. How would he dare to admit this? The crowd was horrified when he recited a list of names. He sold the pills to so many people! Philip frowned in anger. This guy was really a menace to society. “I left a Three-Day Poison in you. As the name suggests, you’ll die from the poison in three days. “I want you to return the money to these people’s homes and give them some compensation. If you try to run away or cheat them, you’ll die.” Philip's words put Dickens under great pressure. He felt as if a knife was hanging over his throat, ready to kill him at any time. “Okay, I’ll make sure to do it!” Dickens trembled
Dickens popped the pill without hesitation with hopes that it could alleviate his condition. However, he was surprised to find no changes in the pain. “Play with fire and you’ll get burned one day. After all the harm you did, did you think you could get a good pill?” Philip waved the pill in his hand. He had swapped the pill with chocolate when Dickens took it out. No one in this world had eaten chocolate before. Dickens’ face lit up when he ate the chocolate, surprised that the pill made by Philip was so delicious. However, the delicious taste made no difference to the pain he felt. Dickens quickly realized that he could not afford to offend Philip. Philip was a menace! Dickens endured the pain and staggered up. After lowering his head to Philip humbly, he hobbled away. He had to complete the task and compensate for all the money within three days. He had some savings at home. If it was not enough, he would have to sell off his family property. Where there was
Kade was very jealous that Alton had such a strong successor. He was very unhappy because he had no heirs at his age. Therefore, he set his sights on Alton and Cosmo. Since they were rivals, Kade could not let Alton enjoy something he did not have. He found someone to concoct some poison to harm Cosmo. However, Cosmo was lucky enough to evade his attack every time. In the end, he was so angry that he took matters into his own hands. He mixed the poison and found someone to coax Cosmo into taking it. Although Cosmo was powerful and quite mature mentally, he was still a young boy and easily deceived. He fell for the trick and consumed the poison. Since then, Cosmo had fallen into a coma with no signs of waking up. As time passed, Cosmo's vital signs became weaker and weaker. To bask in his achievements, Kade found someone to monitor Cosmo's and Alton's every move. It was not easy to monitor Alton, who was elusive and difficult to track. Cosmo, on the other hand,
Niffler was an efficient subordinate and roughly found out Oz’s destination before he met Kade. “They're heading northwest, and there’s only one destination in that direction, a place called Orbit City. They're either heading to that city or into Guzo Forest, which is even more dangerous.” Niffler smiled. As an excellent intelligence officer, he knew all about Guzo Forest. Kade was puzzled. He did not know anything about Guzo Forest. “It should be quite safe in Guzo Forest. As long as they don’t enter the depths, a few hunters can protect them.” As a mayor, Kade knew that hunters could take up random missions. If they could find some hunters, they would be relatively safe as long as they could afford the reward. Niffler shook his head in response and said, “It’s not that simple. Guzo Forest has changed recently. According to reports from my scouts, Guzo Forest is unusually restless, and the beasts have become much stronger. “More importantly, there are signs of them inv
These people had never bought anything from Treasure House before, but they bumped into someone selling pills from Treasure House when they were leaving the city. They bought one out of curiosity but soon forgot about it. They did not know the exact price of the pill, but it seemed cheaper than the pills sold in Bijou Parlor. After they entered the forest, they soon encountered many raging beasts. The beasts were very aggressive and wanted to tear them apart. As hunters, they knew that they should not be hurt if they did not provoke the beasts. A well-fed beast would not mess with humans for no reason. However, things were different now. The beasts were very ferocious and wanted to attack them. This team was careless and fell under the attack. They worked together and finally subdued these beasts, but a man suddenly popped up out of nowhere. He looked a little strange, quite similar to the beasts. The team was surprised and thought that he was a monster beast that had taken
“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
