Kemp was a turncoat. Although he seemed loyal now, he had started plotting against Dustin. Philip and the others did not know about this. They had signed up by now. Aslan stood next to Philip with the registration form and said doubtfully, “Is that it for the registration?” Dustin's apprenticeship registration was easier than anything he had experienced. “We need to go through various tests and review our talents when we join a guild, but we only need to fill in our names and contact details here?” Aslan laughed. Everything felt like a dream. Philip nodded solemnly. Everything smelled fishy. Dustin would never do this for no reason. “An engraver is such a mysterious profession.” Philip felt a little curious about this profession. He was repulsed by the idea of carving spells on a person’s body. A practitioner’s body could heal very quickly. After the engraved spells disappear, the effects would also vanish, bringing everything back to square one. In Philip's opini
“When my teacher comes back, let him give you a pill to erase your memories of those unnecessary things! “You’re not as smart as others. See, that little guy chose to forget those crappy things, but you want to remember everything clearly!” Mr. Lindell reprimanded his beloved apprentice. However, it was obvious that Mr. Lindell did not really mean it. Lyle shook his head helplessly. Mr. Lindell always spoke about him, making him embarrassed. “Mr. Lindell, please stop saying that. I’ve taken Philip as my teacher, so I didn't mind getting rid of my memories.” Although Lyle had a sharp tongue, he chose to defend Poppy. Philip laughed at their harmonious interaction. “You guys are getting along better than I thought during my absence.” Philip thought there would probably be some minor conflicts because of Lyle’s sharp tongue, but that was not the case. They were a little too harmonious. “Philip, you’re back. That’s great.” Lyle rushed to Philip expectantly, surprised th
Philip teased, curious about Mr. Lindell’s secret. Mr. Lindell hesitated but took a deep breath and decided to tell them the truth. “To be honest, Dustin is my younger brother. We chose different paths in our early days because we had different thoughts in life. I never liked his profession very much. In my opinion, it’s a sick profession.” Mr. Lindell looked at the sky with despair and helplessness. Everyone was curious about the story between Mr. Lindell and Dustin, especially the two young kids watching the excitement. As a nosy parker, Aslan moved forward curiously and sat on a stool in front of Mr. Lindell. Seeing their interest, Mr. Lindell laughed and said, “Since you guys are so curious, I’ll tell you about it!” Following that, Mr. Lindell told them the story about him and his inadequate brother. He seemed very disappointed with Dustin from the bottom of his heart. “This profession of his requires a lot of effort and is harmful to the human body, which is someth
In the meantime, Dustin was in his room enjoying the service from his maids. “Hurry up with the fruit arrangement. I’m not back here to suffer after working hard for so long.” Dustin grabbed a maid’s waist as if dissatisfied with her performance. “Why are you so slow?” The maid he grabbed could only wipe her tears in pain without a word. “Teacher, I've tallied up the registrations for today. This program is very effective. Many people are willing to join the training, so we can implement our plan successfully,” Kemp said smugly, happy with this outcome. “We can do whatever we want and show those ignorant fools our power!” As Dustin's subordinate, Kemp knew what Dustin was up to. He had no objections to that sick plan but found it quite exciting instead. “Okay, that's all for now. We'll set off per schedule tomorrow. I can't wait to improve my strength,” Dustin said. He had had enough of this old man’s appearance of his. By right, he should not end up so badly, but
After that, Dustin dismissed Kemp. He could not wait to regain his youth by absorbing blood essence. The maids overheard some secrets and were petrified to learn of Dustin’s heinous deeds. “Hey, come give me a massage.” Dustin grabbed a beautiful woman at random. Kemp sighed when he heard frightened screams and obscene laughter from the room. Kemp wanted to replace Dustin’s position. Before Dustin’s return, all the maids here were at his disposal. After Dustin’s return, however, he took the maids for himself again. Even Kemp’s favorite maids had been killed because they did not take care of Dustin properly. Thinking of this, Kemp gritted his teeth and suppressed his rebellious thoughts. He had to wait until he had a certain level of strength before doing anything. Dustin had once engraved a spell on Kemp’s body that was still effective today. The spell was similar to a contract, which allowed Dustin to control Kemp at all times. Once Kemp turned against him, Dusti
“Damn it, those two people dare to badmouth me behind my back. Don’t they realize they need to go farther away? How dare they say this outside my wall?” Aslan was exasperated. He closed the door and was about to return to his bedroom when he overheard the conversation between the two messengers. No matter what, he was a powerful practitioner with acute senses. No matter how quietly the two men whispered, Aslan heard every word clearly. Lyle and Philip laughed at Aslan’s frustration. “What can you do about it? Do you want to beat them up? You are a weirdo. How can you blame anyone?” Lyle said cheerfully. Now that Aslan was back, Lyle became more bubbly. Lyle usually did not have someone to bicker with, but now that Aslan was back, his life was full of fun again. “Everyone, I plan to go home tonight and tell my family about my plans. I’ll be there on time tomorrow morning,” Poppy said to everyone with a smile on her face. She had made great progress during this time and
Lyle expressed his opinion. He regarded Poppy as his sister and would never let anything happen to her. Seeing Lyle's serious expression, Mr. Lindell was relieved. “That’s good. You should set off now. Don’t be late. You have to ruin that guy’s plans!” Mr. Lindell urged. Philip washed up and set off with everyone. They were not far from the gathering place and arrived at their destination quickly. They sat and waited while chatting. No one knew that Poppy had suffered a mishap last night. Poppy simply wanted to go home and tell her parents about her recent encounters, so she only brought a few pills she made and some belongings for the upcoming trip. As soon as she returned home, Poppy saw her distraught parents. Seeing their daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Wisteria rushed forward anxiously. “Shouldn't you be out? Why are you back?” Mr. Wisteria was anxious as if he had experienced something very unpleasant. Mrs. Wisteria looked around anxiously as if watching out for someth
Several men in black pinned Poppy’s parents to the ground with daggers on their necks. Poppy hesitated at this scene. If Poppy had left without looking back, maybe she might not have been threatened by this. “What are you doing?” Poppy’s eyes filled with tears. “Come at me. Don’t touch my parents!” Poppy ran to the men in black. Poppy's strength had improved greatly, so it should be easy to deal with a few men in black. The men in black did not expect that Poppy would attack them, not to mention her powerful strength. The ones nearest to her did not react in time and were kicked to the ground with their weapons taken away. Poppy was so furious that she picked up the dagger and started slashing at them, ending their lives. Ever since Poppy practiced the skills and techniques given by Philip, she could crush them in all aspects. Poppy was very talented in her practice, and none of the other party’s attacks landed on Poppy at all. In the blink of an eye, Poppy killed
