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
Just like Lance, his men were friendly and kind-hearted people. They were generally much older than Lance, but they were outspoken and lacked the arrogance of most officials. The man who was stopped was Jax Lore. “Hey, don’t just stand there. Come over here.” The people from the Spada Guild beckoned to Jax and asked them to go through the check. Jax was not happy about it, but he knew they could not mess with the Spada Guild. “I see, it’s the Spada Guild. How may I help you?” Although Jax was angry, he had no choice but to greet them with a smile. They seemed like internal members, so Jax had to be courteous. Although he was an official, he was not highly valued, so he was inferior to the other party. “Cut the crap and just come over as I ordered,” the member of the Spada Guild snapped. Jax scowled. They went too far. The man in front of him was weaker than him. Showing him courtesy was respectful enough. However, the other party still acted so arrogantly, which humilia
Unexpectedly, someone in Imperial City was bold enough to mess with the Spada Guild. Once, someone from another guild messed with them. The small guild was annihilated overnight, and the members who were lucky enough to escape were hunted down endlessly. It was a common occurrence for a guild to be annihilated because of one member’s private dispute. Soon, several burly practitioners were stopped and brought to the gazebo. Philip happened to be one of them. The Spada Guild did not specifically aim at guild members but all male practitioners. After observing for some time at the gazebo and confirming that there was no problem, they would be released. Philip stood among the crowd and looked at the people of the Spada Guild indifferently. He had figured out by now what these people were doing. The people of the Spada Guild must be looking for him because he messed with that shorty. All this trouble was just for him. “I made an analysis and found that this batch of people
Harris’ interest was piqued. He smiled at Jax expectantly, waiting to hear more about Philip. Jax scowled at his expression. He knew that this person was not easy to deal with. Although Harris had a smile on his face, it did not carry the good intentions of a smile at all. “I don't have much contact with Philip. I only know that he’s pretty strong and has a good character,” Jax said tremblingly. He felt uneasy and wished he could run away. “Pretty strong? And you think he’s a good person too?” Harris said sinisterly, exuding bad vibes. Jax looked at him without a word. He sighed and waited. “It’s not up to a loser like you to decide if he has offended one of us. You can shut up now. It's not your turn to teach me what to do,” Harris snapped, and Jax trembled with fear. Jax wanted to say something else, but he was already petrified, at a loss for what to do. He was full of grievances but could not vent his frustration. The Spada Guild always did whatever they wanted,
Harris stood up and glared at Philip with hostility. Although not obvious, there was a faint murderous intent. He glanced at Jax thoughtfully as if doubting him. Jax felt very upset that Philip had offended someone from the Spada Guild. “Buddy, why did you mess with them? Even I can't protect you now,” Jax lamented. “What do you mean I messed with someone from the Spada Guild? I just stepped on a cockroach by accident. It's not a big deal,” Philip said with a smile. Harris had his agenda for doing this. In his opinion, Philip was simply a loser and not worth his time. He glanced at Jax so that Jax could take Philip in hand.He wanted Philip to experience the feeling of being betrayed by others. If Jax suffered any repercussions because of this, he would blame Philip for everything. Harris was very good at invoking conflicts between two people or two forces. Although Jax knew that Philip was powerful, it would do him no good to mess with the legendary Spada Guild. “
The people who criticized Philip fell silent. As residents of Imperial City, they had an inkling of the truth. Nearly everyone had bumped into that shorty during their missions before. He was best at stealing their beasts and missions. Almost everyone had experienced losing the beast that they had gone through pains to hunt. They had thoughts of taking revenge but could only wallow in anger after learning his identity. “If they stole your beast, why didn’t you report them? You can tell the mission counter about it. Although the beast isn't within the scope of the mission, the mission counter can still make a decision on it once a dispute occurs. “But you didn't do that. Instead, you're accusing someone of stealing your beast. As far as I know, this team of eight made a report.” Harris always talked about reason. He spoke to Philip normally as if he had all the right to capture Philip. The onlookers gasped at the other party’s thoughtful planning. They were the unreaso
