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
Dustin captured Poppy to threaten Declan because Dustin was out for revenge. Although Dustin had disappeared over the years, his forces were still active. These people did not cause trouble for Poppy previously, so she could live in peace. Now that Dustin was back, the first thing he did was to go after Poppy, which was too much. “After so many years, you’re still as stubborn as ever. I’m very disappointed.” Declan sighed. He no longer wanted to waste his breath on Dustin. He would not interfere even if Dustin died here today. “Haha, kill me if you can. Let me remind you that I’m the most powerful engraver in the world. If you kill me, the royal family will definitely hold you accountable!” Dustin was very confident in his identity. The royal family would never let him die for no reason. “You really underestimate me.” Declan smiled helplessly. He did not have to rely on the royal family to survive now. He could have established his own force as a top-notch alchemist
“What do I have to do for you to let me go?” Dustin glanced at Philip gravely. He knew that Philip had the final say among them. He would be safe once Philip promised not to kill him. Philip shrugged and said, “Don't look at me. I'm just responsible for catching you. They have to take revenge themselves.” After saying that, Philip minded his own business. He had no time to waste on this person. While they bickered, a young man appeared on the streets of Imperial City. He looked troubled as if he had encountered a difficult problem. “What should I do?” he muttered as he walked and unwittingly arrived at Philip’s doorstep. He looked around in confusion, wondering how he got there. “This is weird. How did I get here?” This strange house did not have any signage, so he had no idea which wealthy family lived here. More importantly, this place was very big, not something normal people could afford. The young man was puzzled and knocked on the door gently. Someone soon
It was normal for the young man to thank him. Philip merely smiled at him without a move. He was not trying to be full of himself but simply found the young man interesting. “I’m surprised to see you again. This is wonderful. May I have a chat with you?” The young man felt as if he had found hope and stared at Philip excitedly. He longed to have a good chat with Philip. Philip did not turn him down. Obviously, the young man must have encountered a problem or he would not be walking around Imperial City with such a worried look on his face. Luck brought him to Philip’s doorstep. “Come in and have a seat.” Philip brought the young man to the garden where everyone was judging Dustin. Philip walked over without averting his gaze. The young man followed Philip and saw Dustin kneeling on the ground miserably when he passed through the garden. He was surprised to see Dustin here. As an official, he recognized Dustin's identity. It was simply unheard of for a high and mighty pe
