“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
“He owns such powerful magical treasures on top of a storage device. This is wonderful!” The eight people chattered incessantly, not taking Philip seriously at all. Although Philip was powerful, he meant nothing to them. He was alone while they had eight people on their side. “Do you think the two of you can go against the eight of us?” The short man seemed confident of his victory. He looked at Philip with such longing that his eyes turned red. In his opinion, Philip was so strong because of his weapons. He would be nothing without those weapons. After all, Philip did not display a powerful practice level. Everyone thought he was just a rich kid. Maybe Philip spent a lot of money to buy treasures just to gain experience. Although Philip had destroyed their weapons, that did not mean they were out of weapons. Everyone had many spare weapons. After taking out their weapons, they rushed toward Philip excitedly. Philip found their unrelenting spirit unbelievable. “Yo
Philip was surprised to hear the short man’s background. “Oh, you’re quite influential. I couldn’t tell at all,” Aslan sneered. This guy was simply too noisy. More importantly, this guy ignored Aslan. Did he think Aslan was dispensable? However, Philip finally figured out why they dared to act so arrogantly. It turned out that they had strong backers. Despite that, Philip did not know anything about the Spada Guild. He was new to this world, after all. Looking at the other party’s reaction, however, the Spada Guild should be a pretty good establishment or he would not have revealed it so smugly. Nonetheless, it was a fool’s errand to intimidate Philip with a few words. Philip signaled Aslan. He could not be bothered to deal with these losers. Aslan nodded and sprang into action, appearing behind these losers in an instant. “How could you move so quickly?” The short man felt someone kicking him from behind before he could react. The next second, he saw his men flyi
“If you want to find out some information, I’ll tell you everything I know. “The Spada Guild is large and powerful in Imperial City. Your accent doesn’t sound local, so it’s normal if you haven’t heard of it. The Spada Guild is one of the five major guilds. Although not ranked at the top, it can rank third or fourth.” Philip was surprised that the short man knew quite a lot. “Wow, I’m surprised to hear that the Spada Guild is so powerful. I thought it was just a trashy place,” Philip said nonchalantly as if he was quite knowledgeable in this matter. Hearing that, the short man’s mood changed for the better, and he felt full of himself. It turned out that Philip treated him so badly earlier because he was simply too ignorant. He had no idea what was going on, so it was reasonable that he was unafraid of this guild. “Since you know everything, you should let me go. My brother is really…” The short man wanted to emphasize his brother's power when he was knocked unconscious wit
Philip stepped forward and reached for it doubtfully. It was quite hot to the touch. “Philip, what’s that? It’s quite scary.” Aslan looked at the scary thing in puzzlement. Philip was baffled by the shiny item on the ground too. Of course, Aslan was not referring to the item's appearance but its vibes. Philip grabbed the shiny little stone amid his confusion. Although it was hot to the touch, Philip made use of his exotic flame and managed to grab it. His exotic flame seemed to have a powerful taming effect, and Philip quickly took control of the stone. “This is weird. I feel like the stone is emitting some unfriendly vibes as if warning others to keep their distance.” Aslan glanced at Philip curiously, feeling baffled. Why would such a terrifying thing appear in this ordinary beast forest? The presence of this small stone was so strong that even Aslan was terrified. “Don’t worry. Let me take a good look at it.” Philip studied the stone but could not figure it out. He
“Could he have found the way to unlock the passage between the two continents and left by himself? What should I do now? I haven’t learned much from him.” Kemp sighed, feeling despondent. He had sent many people to search the land of evil spirits for a long time but found no trace of Dustin. He finally mustered the courage to join the search but to no avail. “Where could he have gone?” Kemp returned home empty-handed and sat down glumly. Meanwhile, Dustin had recovered from more than half of his injuries and sat waiting for Kemp’s rescue. “What’s taking him so long? He’s such a slowpoke!” Dustin scrambled up and looked around in annoyance. He did not dare to escape without his apprentice waiting to receive him. After waiting for a long time, he finally decided to sneak out. Dustin sneaked out of the room and left quietly. He thought that no one discovered his actions, but he was too naïve. Although Declan was very unhappy with his younger brother, he asked Philip to
It was insufficient to rely on the royal family alone. Philip could get a good position with Declan’s help. Dustin’s priority was to find someone to deal with Philip before he had time to build connections. “Since I can't use the power of the royal family, I can go to those guilds. Many guilds have settled in Imperial City anyway.” Dustin made his decision quickly. In his mind, Philip was already a dead man. It was all thanks to the guilds’ help during the beast crisis or the military could never have handled the situation all alone. It proved that the guilds occupied a very important position in Imperial City. Philip had no idea that Dustin was going to look for someone to deal with him. However, he knew that the short man would tell his brother in the Spada Guild about his plight. Philip was not worried about his situation at all. He would take one step at a time. Philip did not care what would happen. He simply wanted to watch the excitement, so the bigger, the bet
