Dustin could leave with this stone. The second round of evil spirits would appear in a few minutes. He had no time to lose. Philip smiled at Dustin’s reaction. “Other than this stone, the other way out is to survive five rounds of evil spirits, right?” Philip said with a smile and put the stone into his pocket. He had tested it earlier. They could not leave with this stone at all. The formation had been activated, and the barrier had sealed them in by now. Unless Dustin could destroy the barrier or find the key to the barrier, it was impossible to get out. Aslan and Lyle stood in front of Philip to stop Dustin from grabbing the stone. Of course, they knew Dustin's nasty plan. On top of that, they wanted to avenge Poppy, so they only wanted to give Dustin a good beating. “What are you doing? Let go of Mr. Dustin!” “If you kill him, how can we leave? Can you save us with that worthless stone?” “We have the chance of becoming his apprentice. How could you do this to
Philip nodded. Dace was quite sensible. Although he was rude earlier, he seemed okay now. “That's right. He just wants to use your blood essence to complete a sacrifice. Without weapons to restrain evil energy, no one can escape, and your blood essence will eventually summon a legendary being,” Philip explained. He had a rough understanding of the whole situation now. He received a lot of information when he found the stone, so he knew some of Dustin's plans. Dustin scowled when he heard Philip exposing his secret. He knew someone would discover his secret when the stone went missing. However, he did not expect that this person would make this secret public. “What? Is that so? Are you saying that Dustin wants to kill us?” Dace cursed. He could hardly wait to kill Dustin. Others were ready to take action. Although some of them doubted Philip, it was easy for them to die in this evil place. “Mr. Dustin, we’ll believe you if you let us out!” someone yelled. As long as
These people dared not make a fuss and simply obeyed. Their lives were in Philip's hands, so they had to listen to him. “I can guarantee other people’s safety, but I can’t say the same for you,” Philip said to Dustin with a smile and handed the stone in his hand to Lyle. “Do you want this stone to open the barrier? Let me show you if this stone is useful!” Philip motioned Lyle to go to the entrance. Without hesitation, Lyle went to the barrier with the stone in hand. Everyone eagerly looked at Lyle as he approached the barrier, wondering if they could leave after this. Dustin looked at Lyle silently, trying to find a chance to sneak out. However, he did not get this opportunity. Lyle approached the entrance, but the barrier was motionless. He waved the stone at the entrance of the barrier, but there was no reaction at all. Obviously, using the stone to open the passage was not the correct method. “How is this possible?” Dustin was dumbfounded He never imagined tha
Although Dustin was not that weak, he could not deal with these evil spirits without preparation. “I’ll do it!” “Count me in! Sir, remember your promise!” Some people rushed forward excitedly and quickly surrounded Dustin to protect him. These people were simply unscrupulous, protecting Dustin with weapons given by Philip. Lyle was furious with their actions. “What are you doing? Don't forget, the weapons in your hands belong to us!” Lyle yelled angrily, trying to remind the turncoats. However, they ignored Lyle. “The weapons are in our hands. What can you do?” “We have the right to make our choice. Keep out of it!” These people were very arrogant and refused to return the weapons. Lyle almost passed out in anger. Aslan was furious and wanted to teach them a lesson. He could easily handle some ordinary practitioners. Philip felt disgusted with these despicable people. They fully demonstrated the nature of villains. Philip beckoned to their weapons, which fle
Philip's remark left Dustin speechless. He clenched his fists, at a loss for what to do. “Since you can bring me in, I’m sure you can let me out too. Name your price.” Dustin tried to buy time. He did not want to die here. “Tell me your reason for kidnapping Poppy,” Philip asked without further ado. Dustin was startled. For a moment, he had no idea what the other party was talking about. After a while, he finally recalled who Poppy was. “Oh, are you referring to that little girl? Haha, what’s the relationship between you two?” Dustin was not happy at the mention of Poppy. That girl had given him a lot of trouble. At first, he planned to teach Poppy a good lesson. When the time was ripe, he would display a mutilated girl to that good elder brother of his to show him the consequence of being his apprentice. When he entered the room where Poppy was imprisoned, however, he was attacked unexpectedly. This girl was much stronger than he thought, giving him the impressio
“Let’s go. We’ll leave him for his brother to deal with. What do you think Mr. Lindell will do to this guy if he finds out about it?” Philip said with an insincere smile. It was the best way to torture and annoy Dustin. Sure enough, Dustin panicked upon hearing Philip’s words. He did not expect Philip to know his brother. He thought Philip was simply acquainted with young people like Poppy, but he also knew his brother, and it seemed that their relationship was quite good too. “No, don’t do this. Since you know my brother, you should know I have the same authority as him. Why don’t you work for me instead of him? I can give you the same wealth and status!” Dustin tried to entice Philip as soon as he found some information. Philip felt disdain at his words. “You’re ridiculous. Do you think Philip works for your brother? Your brother is Philip’s apprentice, alright!” Lyle could not help but mock Dustin. Everyone was shocked by that revelation, including Dustin. Most of
“Philip, that guy is really stupid. Does he really think that the God of Life can resurrect by absorbing human blood?” Lyle marveled at Dustin’s stupidity. Such a cruel and evil method could only summon a terrifying creature. By then, Dustin might even lose control of the situation and be taken over by the other party. Kemp and the others stood watch at the entrance. They tried to break the barrier by force, but after suffering a backlash, no one dared to act recklessly anymore. As more and more people walked out, Kemp was curious. He asked a few people at random, but they were confused and did not know where Dustin was. In desperation, Kemp had no choice but to wait. However, he did not see Dustin even when Philip and the others came out. “Have you seen my teacher?” Kemp asked rudely. Aslan shook his head blankly. “It was so chaotic inside that we didn’t see anything.” Aslan pointed inside after saying this. “Why don't you go in and search? He's probably lying insi
Poppy laughed excitedly at Lyle’s concern. “Don't worry. With my strength, that old man can’t do anything. He can only dream of hurting me.” Philip finally figured out why Poppy was being targeted by now. Poppy’s teacher, Declan Lindell, was Dustin’s elder brother, so Dustin targeted her because of the relationship between Poppy and Declan. “Where’s that old man now? We can’t let him go!” Poppy resented Dustin very much. Her maid would not have been injured to this extent if it were not for Dustin’s request. “Don’t worry, we've captured him. We’ll take him back and hand him over to your teacher.” After saying this, everyone returned to Imperial City happily. Although they had no carriage, they were not slow either. They returned home very soon. Declan was waiting for them. He had a bad premonition since last night. He had a feeling that something was going to happen to his precious apprentice. Amid his worry, he realized someone had entered the house. Mr. Li
“This tea is simply amazing. I’m surprised that Philip is lucky enough to find this treasure!” “By the way, why is Philip alone? Where's that rabbit?” Everyone looked around but saw no signs of the rabbit and had to give up. In the end, only a mouthful of tea was left in the pot. After much deliberation, they decided to give it to the patriarch. After all, it was a rare treasure! They quickly tied Philip up. Once Philip lost his freedom, they had nothing to worry about. They wanted to take credit for their finding and let the family know about this rare treasure.… Meanwhile, Cameron was in his room, thinking about how to carry out the competition. He had just finished talking with Ronan and was in a good mood. He was surprised by Ronan’s attitude. Ronan did not hold a grudge against them and desperately wanted to join their family, which was simply too good to be true. More importantly, Ronan was strong enough to win the competition for them. Cameron did not care whet
At this moment, Philip noticed something unusual and realized that someone had sneaked into his yard. He was amused that someone dared to mess with him. “Surround this area while I poison him. After he’s dead, don’t forget to bring the rabbit along with us. It’s best if we can figure out the rabbit’s secret. If not, just silence the rabbit too!” The person taking the lead explained the plan. He was none other than Sadie’s husband. For the sake of his position in the family and his son, he had to take the risk. Philip was enjoying his premium spiritual tea, and that fragrance could not be concealed at all. Very soon, the intruders smelled the fragrance and followed their noses to find the source. “Do you smell something fragrant? I feel that my strength has improved after a whiff of this smell!” “I feel refreshed with just one whiff as if my ailment has been relieved. That ailment has been bothering me for years. This is amazing!” Everyone was excited as they tracked the s
Cameron never thought that he would lose to a rabbit in an argument. After a brief silence, he finally decided to ignore the matter for the time being. Since the treasures were in Rabbit’s hands, he had to talk to Ronan about the competition. “Ronan, come with me. I want to tell you about the competition. Your friend can stay. We’ll treat him with the utmost courtesy!” Cameron invited Ronan kindly while signaling to everyone. As long as Ronan was not around, they could attack and even kill Philip on the spot. Philip would be useless once they figured out Rabbit’s secret. If Ronan asked, they could say that Philip decided to leave. Anyway, they had all sorts of excuses to take care of this. Ronan glanced at Philip and walked to the conference hall. Ronan knew that he had to deal with these people himself. Philip was only here to give him courage. Philip gave him a reassuring look and returned to the house. He was interested in the competition, so he wanted to figure out
“Are you talking about this rabbit? He’s not my pet. He belongs to my friend.” Ronan shrugged. He wanted such a pet, but he was not good enough. Hearing that, Cameron's face turned pale. Although the rabbit was an additional benefit, he never thought that he would fail to get it. Cameron glared at Philip. He did not have a good impression of Philip. Philip looked like a troublemaker. He suspected that Philip had influenced Ronan into making things difficult for them. Cameron wanted to drive Philip away, but Ronan abruptly said that this matter was related to Philip. Before he could weigh the pros and cons, Cameron decided to hide his emotions. At least, he could not reveal his dislike for Philip. “I see. Your friend seems like a casual practitioner. Why don't he consider joining our family? For your sake, I can give him the same treatment and allow the two of you to take part in the competition as representatives of the family. I believe you’ll do your best and won’t let me
At this time, Rabbit hopped to Philip's side. “Philip, I was out for a walk yesterday and heard some rumors. They’ll be holding a competition among the humans soon, and all major families and forces will send some contestants for the fight. “Either a family or a force that is in charge of an area can join the competition. I heard that the Claude family is taking part.” Hearing this, and combined with their reaction, Philip guessed something. They probably wanted to trick Ronan into participating in the competition, which was why they were approaching him so enthusiastically. “There’s more.” Rabbit smiled and leaned forward, clearly asking for a beating. Philip saw Rabbit’s reaction and hit his face. “Just spit it out. Stop messing around!” Rabbit chuckled and said, “I heard that the Claude family is negotiating a business deal, and the prerequisite is that Ronan must participate in the competition and win first place. Although I don't know why, that’s the only condition the
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
