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
The owner of the voice soon appeared in front of Philip. It was a group of eight that looked pretty imposing. They glared at Philip coldly as if peeved that Philip had stolen their prey. “Everything has to be done in turns. We saw this leopard first. When did it become your turn?” Philip sneered. The man standing in front of him was only a little over 1.5 meters tall. He looked very ugly with his seedy features, and his yellow teeth made Philip sick to the stomach. A sliver of grass dangled in the corner of the man’s mouth as if he was pretending to be suave. Maybe he thought he was quite dashing, but Philip felt disgusted. The others glared at Philip fiercely as if waiting for him to leave. “We finally found such a land of opportunities, but this guy wants to compete with us. What a joke!” “That’s right. It’s simply ridiculous to think that two little brats dare to compete with us for territory!” Everyone mocked Philip with disdain. In their opinion, Philip thought t
“Do you think the two of you can take us on?” The seedy short man wanted to deal with Philip. The others spread out, some dealing with Aslan while others targeted the leopard. If Philip was no match for them, he would be beaten severely and might even end up being at their disposal. “If you just want the beast, I can give it up to you.” Philip suddenly changed his tone as if he was backing off. Everyone was puzzled and wondered why Philip chose to compromise. Was he backing off because he thought they were too powerful? Although the short man could not figure out what was going on, he smiled brightly. “Hehe, why bother if you had expected this outcome? If you had been so sensible earlier, we wouldn’t have surrounded you.” He thought Philip was afraid of him, so he smiled brightly. Philip smiled and winked at Aslan. The two of them stepped aside. Aslan looked at Philip without a word. Aslan knew what Philip was thinking, so he simply watched the fun. Since Philip
Everyone turned their attention to Philip. They were so angry just now that they did not notice anything. The guy in front of them actually had a storage device, high-end stuff! “Hehe, kid, didn't anyone warn you not to flaunt your wealth? Since you chose not to hide it, don’t blame me for being merciless.” The short man wished he could strip Philip of everything. He was surprised to meet such a rich kid. “Wow, you guys are so smart to discover the key point right away,” Philip said with a smile. These people were not that stupid to realize the most important things so quickly. Philip did it on purpose. He wanted them to know he was rich so that they would take advantage of him. Philip could not maximize his interests without forcing them to reveal their trump cards. “How dare you be so arrogant?” The short man was very angry and charged at Philip. He raised his hand and slapped Philip on the face, trying to humiliate Philip most crudely. Philip smiled calmly at his
