“Philip, we've been surrounded,” Aslan said to Philip warily. He knew that this thing was not simple, at least nothing he had seen before. “This thing is eerie Quite spooky, indeed.” Philip decided to wait and observe before making a move, sensing this strange atmosphere. At this moment, Philip suddenly felt something attacking him from behind. It was not a pleasant feeling. “Boo-hoo, is there a kind Samaritan willing to save me?” An androgynous voice rang in Philip's ears, making him feel very uncomfortable. The voice whistled in Philip’s ears like a ghost as if harassing Philip. Aslan heard the noise and frowned in displeasure. “Stop fooling around and come out at once!” he roared in anger. He wished he could catch this arrogant and domineering fellow and beat them up. Philip calmed down and searched through Verge Tower. He felt as if he had missed something. He looked around Verge Tower for a while and finally found a small flag. “I think this thing can control t
“Philip, I feel like the day is getting closer,” Aslan said in a low voice when everyone was present. His hunch was very accurate. Fennel nodded. He felt a bad premonition too. When everyone was gathered, the whole world shook. Philip frowned and looked outside. The sky had turned dark and gloomy. The others looked at Philip solemnly, waiting for his orders. They knew that the crisis was finally upon them. The people of Mistral Temple rushed back in horror. They did not expect this day to arrive so quickly. “Why has it been brought forward?” Everyone stood in front of Philip in a panic, waiting for his orders. He was the only person they could rely on now. Philip did not speak but observed the changes in the world. It was impossible to stop the changes from happening. Ordinary people huddled in their houses in fear, watching the changes in the world in shock. All communication signals had been disrupted, and only static remained on their TVs. Many people tried to ca
Moreover, many practitioners had been busy with sealing activities recently, so the rest thought this had nothing to do with them. Although they were worried and lamented their weakness in this situation, they thought someone would save them eventually. However, they were wrong. Philip had never thought of saving such practitioners. If they had chosen to join the reinforcement team earlier, Philip would not give up on them easily. However, since these people were only concerned about themselves, Philip would not help them. The practitioners who had joined Philip’s team were now gathered at the villa, observing the world nervously. Philip was grateful for their help during this time. Similarly, they received corresponding rewards for their efforts. Philip would reward them with a pill when they went out for a mission. They earned a lot of money these days. Facing such drastic changes, those with treasures on hand were more unwilling to die. “What should we do? I’m sure
Martha was nervous and grabbed the hem of her husband's clothes, at a loss for what to do. “What’s going on? They've been so busy these days, but the effect is getting worse!” Martha grumbled, unhappy with everyone's efficiency. “Powerful practitioners like them should produce good results in whatever they do, but more and more are appearing. If the location of this villa wasn’t good enough, we’d have been dead already!” Martha read a lot of news during this time and knew that many places had fallen. She was worried that this place would be next. Fortunately, because many practitioners lived nearby and this area belonged to the academy, nothing much happened around here. Other than some screams and shouts, it was quite safe. However, the sky suddenly turned dark today, and they felt the pressure even though they turned on the lights. It was different from a normal night. If they did not turn on the lights while walking on the road now, they would be shrouded in the dark a
It seemed that the spirits wanted to take over human bodies and live again. Of course, Philip had to be prepared for such spooky things. After all, most people believed in ghosts and monsters while growing up, and they were exposed to knowledge about terrifying spirits. These spirits were not only good at scaring people but also harming them! Thus, Philip knew that these spiritual entities were the greatest threat to humans. “You have to take this sachet with you no matter where you go!” The parents of ordinary families quickly educated their kids. To prevent the kids from losing the sachet, they put it in their clothes. At this time, an eight-year-old child tore off the sachet from his clothes in disdain and threw it to the ground. “Who'd believe this bullshit?” This kid was known as a local bully with a bad temper since he was a child. He was unwilling to listen to others. “This sachet has no fragrance at all. It looks like an ugly package. I’m a boy. I won’t carry
The kid had no protection and had no choice but to allow the eerie presence to enter his body. “Ah! Mom, Dad, what is this thing?” The kid screamed as if he had seen something spooky. The couple just stared at their son. They wanted to help, but there was nothing they could do. The kid had been shrouded in a black fog, and they could not even see him. “My son!” The couple sobbed and wanted to save their son, but they were at a loss for what to do. “Let’s find the practitioners. They must have a way to save my son!” The woman shoved her husband hysterically, forcing him to go out and find the practitioners. The man sighed as he looked at the dark sky outside. He took out a flashlight from the drawer and illuminated it outside. The powerful flashlight seemed to have lost its function and could not light up the area at all. In the past, this flashlight could illuminate at least dozens of meters away, which was the reason he bought it. He was really scared now. “I
The couple finally realized what it was like to be blind. As the two walked down the stairs according to their memories and headed in the direction of the academy, a familiar voice came from the right. “Teehee, Mom and Dad, why are you leaving without me?” The couple screamed in unison. The man waved the sachet back and forth in front of him. Suddenly, his right hand hit something, and the sachet in his hand fell to the floor. The next second, he lost his voice. Similar scenes happened in every ordinary family. Those who listened to instructions hid in their rooms without encountering any problems. If there was one disobedient person in a family, things would end up in a massacre. Philip had no time to bother about it. The sachets he made were meant to be salvation for ordinary people. At this moment, the sealed land had fallen. Philip saw a door of the villa slowly open. Maybe the other party chose to open this door because they sensed the presence of the sealing
“We can't know for sure if we can find something that makes people stronger, but this door is enough to drive some people crazy.” Philip could tell that something was definitely strange about this door. Just one door made so many practitioners lose their minds to the point of self-mutilation, which proved how powerful and weird it was. With a sudden buzz, the sealed door exploded with a white light that shrouded everyone. Before Philip and the others could react, the white light took everyone away. By the time everyone returned to their senses, they found themselves on a barren land. An abyss lay in front of them, clearly a dead end. They could only turn back. “Is this what it looks like in the sealed land?” Philip was confused to find himself there. “Verge Tower, why was I sucked in?” Philip could not figure it out. He had too many secrets. Everything would be over if he was exposed. Philip asked Verge Tower, curious to find out why he was taken in by the stone doo
Everyone was dumbfounded. No one thought that Ronan would take action without paying any heed to them. Cameron panicked and ordered his men to stop Ronan, “Guards, take action! You have to stop Ronan!” His face turned pale, and he wished that the guards could kill Ronan. However, he suddenly remembered the deal between the businessman and himself. “Wait, don’t kill him. I want him alive. I need him for something important!” Cameron shouted nervously as if he was sure that his guards would defeat Ronan. Other than the guards, other family members also stepped forward. They wanted to show off their strength. Seeing this, Philip waved to Ronan. He would take action if required. Ronan waved his hand indifferently in response. He did not need Philip’s help for now. He was strong enough to take care of it. At this time, Rabbit appeared drowsily. Rabbit led a carefree life, and Philip always let him be, so he was an idle rabbit. After Cameron and the others saw Rabbit, their e
Ronan became more confident after the chat with Philip. If anyone dared to mess with him, he would not hesitate to teach them a good lesson. Cameron looked around but did not see Rabbit. He was worried but went straight to the point. “My child, after all these years, have you finally decided to return to the family?” Cameron smiled as he attempted the emotional approach as if Ronan had lived outside over the years because of his own decision. Hearing that, Ronan coughed and nearly threw up. Cameron was really good at blaming him. “What do you mean? Did I ask you to kick me out of the house?” Ronan's eyes flashed with anger. As a weak and powerless child back then, he was kicked out of the house right after his mother’s death. That feeling was really humiliating. All his grievances over the years exploded at this point. He could not tolerate these hypocritical people anymore. Cameron noticed Ronan’s reaction and knew that it was bad. This matter was out of his control. Ronan
“Since you've accepted my things, you should…” Cameron rubbed his hands excitedly, looking at Rabbit smugly and expectantly. His men looked at Rabbit in delight. It would be great if they could get storage space. Rabbit shook his head in disdain. “What are you thinking? Do you think you’re worthy of me? You don’t even have a measly storage space. Who are you to bargain with me?” Rabbit kicked the nearest person away. “Don’t bother me again or that’ll be your outcome!” He hopped back into the house. He was not afraid that they would mess with him. Cameron was shocked that Rabbit would go back on his word after taking their things. He was furious. Those were the treasures of the family. It would be a disaster if they lost them. However, it was clearly not the right time to dwell on it. Cameron decided to talk to Rabbit again tomorrow. He had to talk to Ronan anyway. It would be best if he could fool them. “Let’s get some rest for the night and talk about it tomorrow morning
Cameron persuaded Rabbit excitedly. In his opinion, he was halfway to success. Rabbit nodded. “Give me what you have for now. At least show me your sincerity. You should know that the guy inside offered me a high price!” Rabbit fooled Cameron. He wanted to know what Cameron could come up with. Just crystals alone would be a letdown. Hearing that, Cameron waved to his men, signaling them to take out all the good things from the warehouse, at least to fool Rabbit for the time being. His men reluctantly went to the warehouse and took out all the treasures they had collected. Anyway, it was just for show and would not really be given to the rabbit, so they did not object. It would be a great deal if these treasures could attract a guardian beast. Rabbit nodded with satisfaction at these things. He waved his hand, and everything vanished from those people’s hands. Everyone was shocked and wondered what was going on. There was no such thing as storage space in this world. They ha
It felt good to have a capable henchman around. Philip could not be bothered to waste his precious time on these losers. Cameron and his men reached the door when a rabbit fell from the sky. The old woman and the others knew the rabbit’s habits and warned everyone to watch out. However, the elites were caught off guard and looked around blankly, wondering what was going on. The next moment, the loudmouthed man was knocked to the ground. Rabbit landed on the guy and started punching and kicking, certain that the man would suffer the utmost pain from this beating. Cameron and the others were dumbfounded by this scene. They had heard of powerful spirit pets but had never seen a rabbit as a spirit pet. The rabbit was good at fighting, so it should not be an ordinary creature. “Go away and stop bothering us. I’ll kill you if I don’t get a good night’s sleep! Let me show you what I can do!” Rabbit swung his fists seemingly at random, but every punch landed. Cameron stood far aw
At this time, Cameron and his men returned in the middle of the night. He saw the Claude family members crying as soon as he returned. They were bruised and battered from a beating, looking utterly miserable. Cameron was furious that someone would dare to bully his family members while he was away. “What's going on? Why are you in this state? Did someone cause trouble while I was away?” Cameron was angry and in disbelief, feeling that something was strange. Everyone nodded nervously. “Ronan is here!” The old woman who suffered the worst beating was very upset and glared viciously in Ronan’s direction. “Cameron, although you left me in charge while you were away, I can’t do it anymore. Ronan kept messing with us and even brought some people to beat us up!” The old woman made up stories and described Ronan as an unforgivable evildoer. Cameron scowled, but he could not believe it. “What did you say? Ronan actually hit someone?” He was unwilling to believe it. Although Ronan
Philip took out some fine wine, which was worthless to him but priceless to Ronan. Ronan laughed at Philip’s nonchalance and patted his shoulder. The two of them sat down and started drinking. Rabbit joined in the fun and swallowed the wine in big gulps. Although the alcohol content was a bit high for Rabbit, he enjoyed it happily. They quickly felt slightly tipsy. Although they were practitioners, they did not use any techniques to sober up. It was okay to be a little intoxicated as long as it did not affect them too much. It was rare to find a friend who they could click so well with, so it was a blessing to get drunk together. As they drank happily, the aroma of the wine wafted out. Everyone smelled the fragrance and looked for the source of the scent. They quickly found Ronan's residence and scowled. That smell proved that he had to be drinking good wine in there. “How is he worthy of such fine wine?” “Just a whiff of that wine clears my head, so it has to be good s
Although victory was not confirmed, they had to take part. Since the other party said so, they had no choice but to win. At the thought of the other major families, Cameron scowled as he felt the pressure. “I heard that you have a non-human descendant in your family,” the other party said with a smile, but it was uncertain if his intention was to mock Cameron or to find out some information. The Claude family scowled as they instantly figured out who the other party was talking about—Ronan. This person had disgraced the whole family. “We do have someone like that in our family. Back then, one of our youths was restless and impulsive…” Cameron wanted to explain, but the other party interrupted him. The mysterious man smiled with satisfaction at Cameron’s admittance. “If that’s the case, it’s great. Let this person take part in the competition. I’m interested in his strength and want to try it out in person. “Other than your victory, this person has to take part in the comp
By treating Ronan badly, the people would receive some rewards from the higher-ups. After a while, everyone got used to it. Even the wine sold to Ronan was cheap wine that no one wanted. “There’ll be a place for me in the world somehow!” Philip shook his head. These people’s attitude was strange, indeed, but he did not think that they could not find a roof over their heads. Since the Claude family was so arrogant, they could take over their place. Thinking of this, Philip took them back to the Claude family's manor and knocked on the door with a smile on his face. The guards were horrified to see Philip and Ronan again. They did not forget how badly they were beaten earlier. Thus, no one dared to stop them from marching in for fear that they would be beaten again. They could not afford the consequences. The Claude family quickly learned about their appearance. They scowled, their faces turning ashen. “Why are you here again?” “We already told you that they won't be ba
