“As far as I know, we can only solve this problem by taking pills.” Arthur sighed. To be honest, he wanted to learn this technique. However, there was nothing he could do even if he mastered the sealing technique if he did not have enough pills on hand. Taking him as an example, once most of his energy had been depleted, it would take at least half a month for him to recover. Who would have that much time to waste? “To be honest, this sealing technique may not sound appealing, but we have to give it a try. What if some good Samaritans are willing to sacrifice themselves? If we make it public, maybe someone will step forward eventually!” Arthur analyzed the situation rationally before having a clear idea about it. Philip smiled helplessly. “Mr. Hobart, since I made the suggestion, it means that I have a solution.” Sealing an area would require a practitioner to sacrifice their safety for 15 days. Philip knew without guessing that no one would do it for free—other than a se
Now that Philip was so powerful, Arthur could retire behind the scenes and help Philip manage his force. Arthur quickly figured it out and decided to help Philip from behind the scenes. “On second thought, I want to hand this academy to you. I prefer to stand behind you and take charge of everything for you,” Arthur said nervously. He had made a similar proposal to Philip before, but Philip rejected the idea. Now that he was proposing it again, Philip’s reply might be the same. However, the outcome was different from what Arthur expected. “Sure, but we need to reform the academy and make changes according to my plans. All the kids I recruited have very good talents and excellent characters.” Philip could only trust them if their character was guaranteed. It was difficult to learn from Philip because everything he taught was amazing. Moreover, Philip designed different techniques for them, almost customized for each individual. If they had bad intentions and turned out to be a
Philip shook his head. “Such riffraff won’t be of any use at all. It’s a waste of time to keep them. More importantly, how do you know that they won’t turn against us at a critical moment?” Arthur nodded solemnly in agreement. Indeed, he always thought of every student as a talent, so he was unwilling to target them. After Philip's reminder, he felt that maybe Philip was right. “No problem, just leave it to me. I’ll get it done as soon as possible.” Arthur turned around and left without further ado. Philip had taken over a large force, but he was not arrogant about it and looked more serious instead. Having more power meant greater pressure on his shoulders. Philip’s priority was the sealed land. He had to take care of this problem before talking about the academy because the sealed land was of great importance. At this moment, Aslan hurried back with his family members. From their appearance, it seemed that everyone was seriously injured. “Philip, give me some pills qu
Philip had provided them with some pills for free before they set off. If they could not hang on, there was nothing he could do. “It's so dangerous. To be honest, I was scared.” Aslan sighed with lingering fear. He was scared from the bottom of his heart. For a fighter to admit he was scared proved how terrifying that place was. “Give me the location. I’ll take a look,” Philip said. He was curious about this place. He wanted to see the demons that could defeat Aslan and his family to this extent. Aslan shook his head. He refused to let Philip go there. “Don't go there. That place is scarier than you think!” Aslan's prevention had no effect. Philip would go there no matter what. “This place is clearly the most dangerous for now. If we don't seal this place and allow the creatures to roam free to other places, everything will be over!” Philip had a mentality of being a martyr and forced Aslan to give him the location. Aslan gave him the location reluctantly. After swa
“Did this place seal off by itself?” Philip wondered what was going on. The sealed land could not possibly shut away by itself. Philip believed someone must have sealed this place. At this time, Philip heard a greeting. He turned around in confusion and saw a bald man dressed in cleric robes. “I’m surprised to see someone here.” The bald guy nodded to them as a greeting. Philip scrutinized him and was sure he had never seen the other party before. “Where are you from, baldie?” Aslan said. Philip was shocked to hear that from Aslan. “What are you saying?!” Philip admonished awkwardly. This guy was really out of his mind. Aslan was familiar with that term from the TV shows and novels he watched and read, so it came naturally to him. It was quite an offensive term! Before Philip said anything, the bald guy laughed. “It’s okay. I saw you and your family fighting those creatures, but you were defeated in the end, so I decided to seal this place. However, my seal isn'
The bald guy was trying to maintain his image as a devout clergy, but Philip made him curse aloud. He did not even realize his actions as he was simply staring at Philip in shock. “Hey baldie, why are you cursing?” Aslan admonished him. The clergies he saw on TV were always prim and proper, but this bald guy was different. The bald guy ignored Aslan but approached Philip. “Heavens, you’re like a god!” The bald guy could not wait to find out what was going on, so he had to please Philip now. “Do you want to have a chat with me?” Philip said with a smile. The bald guy nodded. He simply could not refuse Philip's invitation. In his opinion, Philip was as irresistible as fine wine. “Of course. Let’s find a place and have a private chat!” the bald guy’s eyes were almost blazing. Aslan glanced at him in disgust. This baldie actually ignored him! After taking care of the crisis here, Philip took them back to the villa. “Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself just now. My name is
Abraham admired the pill in his hand, trying to study it. However, the pill did not give off any aroma, so he could not figure out what pill it was no matter how hard he looked at it. “This pill can restore your energy. No matter how much your energy has been depleted, you can restore it by eating one pill,” Aslan explained. To Aslan, Abraham was nothing more than an ignorant fool. Abraham exclaimed in surprise, “No way! Is there such a pill in this world?” He studied the pill in surprise as if trying to figure out the origin of this pill. “I've been cooped up in the mountains for a while. Has the world developed so rapidly?” Abraham sighed. Aslan laughed at his ignorance and said, “I really enjoy seeing that ignorant look of yours. Indeed, this pill is expensive and extremely valuable. You can try it if you don’t believe me.” Aslan’s suggestion worked, and Abraham swallowed it in one gulp. Philip was surprised by Abraham’s decisiveness and trust in him. “Thank you fo
Aslan spoke smugly as if he was proud of his identity. “You need to join the queue to become Philip’s follower. He has many followers, you know!” Aslan said arrogantly, afraid that this guy wanted a piece of the pie. Abraham smiled. He had no intention of becoming anyone's follower. “You’re out of your depths. Someone like me will never become someone’s follower so easily.” As an elite clergy, Abraham had a distinguished status. Although he would not act arrogantly and belittle others, he had his pride too. Therefore, Abraham would never become anyone’s follower! Abraham vowed, “I’ll never become anyone’s follower. Someone like me can only accept followers! Even if I fall off a building or die from energy depletion, I’ll never become anyone’s follower” Abraham made his stance clear. He would not compromise with other forces. Aslan relaxed. He was afraid that this guy would compete with him for the position. Since Abraham did not have this intention and even said such ad
