“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
Lance could not figure out why Dustin would reappear after he went missing for so many years and looked so old. He would not have recognized Dustin if not for his good memory and repeatedly confirming his identity. Soon, Lance followed Philip into the garden and sat down. Philip poured him a cup of tea and invited him to take a sip. “Are you curious about Dustin?” Philip said with a smile, full of expectation. He thought Lance was quite interesting. Lance awkwardly took a sip of tea. “I’d be lying if I said I’m not curious. After disappearing for such a long time, Dustin appeared in your house in such a miserable state. Of course, I’m curious.” Lance took another sip of tea. Seeing his reaction, Philip knew that Lance was a kind person. At this time, Lance could hardly think of anything else. He felt as if he was about to freak out! Lance was surprised to find that the tea he drank would contain so much energy. He was reluctant to put down his teacup and took one
Philip spoke openly, and Lance nodded. Lance had this idea in mind. After all, the culprit was that awful guy from the Larson family. The problem would be half-solved once he got rid of that guy. “If possible, I would've killed him already, but I can't help feeling that something is off about him recently. His practice level skyrocketed even though he’s a civil servant, and I heard that his household staff have mysteriously disappeared!” Since he had the idea of killing Fernand, Lance had been paying attention to Fernand’s movements. Through his observation, he discovered many anomalies. Fernand's recent behavior had been very strange. Wherever he went, he wore a black robe that covered him from head to toe as if to hide his ugly appearance. “The black robe he's been wearing recently looks very scary. For some reason, I have a feeling that I can only see a skeleton underneath the black robe. Although he’s ugly, he has always been confident. I’ve never seen him wearing a b
Lance thought excitedly as he walked, wishing he could defeat Fernand at once. Although he was unhappy with the emperor, he was not doing this for the emperor or the royal family but for the whole Imperial City and citizens of the Guzo Continent. Once the emperor made a bad decision, the whole Guzo Continent would suffer. Fernand started from being an unknown civil servant to someone holding great power now, and his wild ambitions were apparent for all to see. After sending Lance off, everyone gathered around curiously to find out what happened. “Philip, was that the young man we helped in Guzo Forest back then? Why was he here all of a sudden? From the looks of it, he seems to have received something from you,” Aslan said curiously. He had a good impression of Lance. Philip told everyone about the issue without concealing it. Everyone was surprised to hear Fernand’s wild ambitions. Declan was not very clear about official affairs. He devoted himself to practice and f
When Lance turned up at his doorstep, Tory was confused and wondered why he was there. Although he knew that Lance was not very popular in front of the emperor recently, his name still carried some weight. Tory felt uncomfortable to see him at the door. “May I help you, junior commander? Has the emperor taken some new measures?” Tory asked solemnly. The emperor changed his mind so frequently recently that it was totally unlike him. Lance smiled at his solemn expression and took out a token from his pocket. Tory was shocked to see that token. “Oh, it’s that!” Tory took the token and infused some energy into it. Philip’s silhouette appeared. After confirming the authenticity of the token, Tory was very excited. He did not expect Philip to arrange for someone to get in touch with him so quickly. “Hello, my name is Tory Jobb. I’m very happy to work with you to execute our upcoming big plan,” Tory introduced himself with a smile. He knew that they would be the closest
Dustin was not in a good mood right now. He thought he was dead for sure, but Philip and the others spared his life. Although he felt a lingering fear, he was not at all grateful. In Dustin’s opinion, Philip and the others were just worried that killing him would bring repercussions, so they decided at the last minute to let him recover in peace. He was a highly valued existence on this continent, after all. Philip and the others could not afford the consequences if anything were to happen to him. Dustin was already tortured to the brink of death. As he lay on the floor, he felt cold all over. After catching his breath, he used all his strength to engrave a spell on his body. Dustin’s skill was not as simple as giving someone strength. With his ability, it was easy to engrave a spell to heal himself. However, he could not do it smoothly due to a lack of energy. After an hour of careful ministration, Dustin's body glowed with a faint light. Next, he simply had to wait un
“By the way, how is Lyle doing nowadays? Is it true that he’s learning how to forge weapons or formations and the like?” Declan was quite concerned about Lyle. They had made a bet, after all. It would be embarrassing if he lost to Lyle. More importantly, they had the same teacher. It would be a disgrace if he learned less than half of what Lyle did! “Lyle mentioned that he has learned quite a bit, and…” At this point, Poppy glanced at her teacher sheepishly, wondering if she should continue her unspoken words. Declan was curious and said, “Just speak your mind. There's no need to hesitate. I'm not a petty person.” Declan was quite gracious about such things. Although he wanted to win, he would only do it indisputably. Hearing that, Poppy forgot her worries and said, “Grand-teacher said that Lyle is making great progress and can learn many things easily. Learning formations and forging weapons at the same time is nothing to him.” Declan almost freaked out at Poppy’s no
At this time, the Claude family’s butler found the residence's doorstep surrounded by people. The butler was horrified and quickly found the patriarch. “Oh no, something bad has happened!” The butler ran into the room in disbelief. The excited Cameron scowled at this sudden intrusion. “What’s bad? Watch your words. Have you forgotten your manners? Don’t speak so loudly in this house!” Cameron had been lost in his excitement, but it was quickly replaced by anger. He wished he could fire the butler on the spot.The butler was scared and felt sorry for himself. “Patriarch! I wasn’t kidding. Something bad has happened!” “People from other families are at the door, including the heads of their families! They keep talking about some storage space and a rabbit, demanding an explanation from us. I don’t know what’s going on!” The butler felt aggrieved because he had no idea what happened. He only knew that a rabbit that could speak human language had turned up in the family. That ra
Philip had that precious tea on hand. Just one mouthful was enough to improve Cameron’s strength. He also had that incredible storage space. What was Philip’s background? How many mysterious treasures did he have? No one dared to think about it. Especially Cameron, who felt that he had found a treasure this time. At first, Cameron bore a grudge against Philip and felt that he had messed things up, but now, he saw Philip as his salvation.… Meanwhile, Sadie had no idea what had happened. Sadie’s husband was dealing with Philip’s issue with Cameron and did not have time to report the situation to his useless wife. She was still thinking about how to deal with Philip. “The rabbit’s storage space must be very valuable. If I spread the news about it, everyone will mess with that rabbit and save me the effort!” Thinking of this, Sadie thought she was very smart and was eager to put the plan into action. After thinking about it, Sadie contacted several families who were on go
“What are you guys doing here? Don’t you have anything better to do?” Rabbit asked bluntly. This arrogant rabbit was even more outspoken after staying with Aslan for so long. The Claude family felt offended. “My child, do you have a storage space? How did you get it? Can you tell me more?” Cameron ignored Rabbit but asked Ronan excitedly, eager to find out the situation. Ronan nodded calmly. “It’s just a storage space. Stop kicking up a fuss over it. My space is not very big, just enough to contain this house at most. It’s not a big deal,” he said pretentiously. Hearing that, Philip silently gave him a thumbs-up. He did not forget Ronan’s exaggerated expression when he first saw the size of the storage space. Surprisingly, Ronan got into the role so quickly. Philip thought he was a good actor. Ronan's casual remarks nearly caused everyone a mental breakdown. They were shocked as if they heard something incredible. “What? Is the space that big?” Cameron coughed violently.
“You can form a bond with the ring. Once that’s done, no one can take it away from you. It’ll belong to you forever.” Philip’s explanation reassured Ronan, and he finally accepted the gift from Philip with confidence. Although Ronan was strong, he was not arrogant to the point of being ignorant. If someone could take it from him, he would rather not have it. Although it was gratifying to own one, it would be painful to lose it after having it. With Philip’s affirmation, Ronan fidgeted with the ring happily and wanted to express his gratitude. Philip simply waved his hand without dwelling on it. “That’s enough. Go explore the storage space on your own. I believe it’ll help you greatly. “Since they’re so interested in Rabbit's storage space, you should show it off to them. I believe they’ll immediately hold you in high regard and maybe they’ll deal with those arrogant guys in the family.” Philip was excited at this mean trick and laughed when he thought of those people’s ugly
“This tea is amazing. I feel different with just one cup.” Cameron picked up the teapot to pour himself another cup of tea but it was empty. “Is that all you have?” Cameron smacked the table angrily. He was very annoyed and believed that they had stolen his tea. The man in the lead told Cameron his discovery. “We wanted to get rid of Philip, but we found this pot of tea in his room. We were very curious, so we took a sip, and the amazing effects surprised us! “We wanted to test it for poison, but we quickly brought it to you after discovering the powerful effects!” His explanation was so sound that no one could find any flaws. “The tea is good, but it's a pity that there’s only one sip. I wonder if Philip has the tea leaves.” Cameron’s mind raced. He was eager to have more of it. “We tied Philip up. Should we search his body?” They were eager to deal with Philip. Everyone yearned for that amazing tea. Cameron shook his head. He did not think that Philip would carry it
“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
