Manta left them some instructions, and everyone was astounded. No one thought that a gentle and elegant person like Manta would kill his fellow guild member. “Manta, isn’t this a little unethical? He’s a fellow guild member!” “Our usual tasks are killing bandits or disobedient practitioners. It’s a little far-fetched to kill someone of our own.” Some people were curious and expressed their opinions. No one had taken up this task so far, maybe still pondering over it. In fact, everyone knew that in-fighting was commonplace. However, they were unwilling to take the blame for Manta. If it were a personal grudge, killing the other party was simply taking revenge. Doing it for Manta would be a stretch. “Stop your pretentious act. Have you not killed anyone before? You were imprisoned here because you harmed your fellow guild members.” Manta felt so angry at their righteous act that his whole body shook. These shameless people dared to point fingers at him, taking the moral hig
Some of them had women they liked, but these women were often engaged in an unsavory line of work. When they finally had time to see the women they loved but they were taken by other customers, they would get angry and cause trouble. Although Manta was exasperated, he could only put up with it. After all, there was nothing he could do. These people had a special status. He had to please them if he wanted their help to complete some questionable tasks. He quickly shared the details of the mission. Then, Byron took his weapon and left Jewel Hill with a smile. With Manta's token, he could leave Jewel Hill without a hitch. After leaving the mountain, Byron breathed in the fresh air around him. “The air doesn’t seem that good. I think Jewel Hill is better. The land is vast and sparsely populated with outstanding people,” Byron marveled. Manta just glanced at him silently. He did not like such talkative people. “Hurry up and complete the mission. He’s in that room. You can ha
Byron was lucky enough to barge in, so he heard the conversation between the two. His arrival caused a bout of panic. Harris and Lark scuttled around to hide, trying to pretend that the room was empty, but the room was so small that it was futile. Harris scowled at the sight of Byron. “Why are you here?” Harris knew who Byron was, so he was shocked to see Byron out of Jewel Hill. In his position, Harris did not know about the guild's dirty dealings, so he subconsciously thought that Byron had sneaked out. “You’re one weird guy. It’s none of your business why I'm here. But I overheard your earlier conversation. Who's the man you were talking about? I may consider not killing you if I’m happy with your answer,” Byron threatened. He did not have a good impression of Harris, who looked so ugly that Byron was sick to the stomach at the sight of him. Byron was very concerned about beautiful appearances and would usually deal with good-looking people. It would be an insult t
Byron sneered at Lark’s pathetic display. “What a loser. As I said, I won’t kill you.” After saying this, Byron turned and left with his head held high. Byron had always followed the rules and would never kill anyone outside of the mission. Manta gave him two days of freedom just to kill Harris. He would not gain anything by killing Lark. “T-Thank you.” As Byron turned to leave, Lark knelt to Byron as thanks for not killing him. Without further ado, Byron went to Imperial City as quickly as possible. This place was not far from Imperial City. As a member of the Spada Guild, it took him no time to enter the city. Members of major guilds had an exclusive passage to enter the city without queueing up. After entering Imperial City, Byron searched around for traces of Philip. According to Lark's description, he glanced around the street but did not see a handsome man. Byron pondered over Lark’s words. Philip’s clothes were significantly different from the locals, obvious
Manta smiled when he saw the maid taking a hit. “After such a long time, your temper is still as bad as ever. Learning to respect others is more important than anything else.” Manta pulled up a chair and sat next to Dustin while signaling the maid to leave. The maid’s eyes lit up at the sight of the hero saving a damsel in distress. Dustin heard someone speaking and looked up indifferently. The next second, he trembled in fear at the sight of the senior apprentice of the Spada Guild. “Oh, what brings you here? Why didn't you tell me that you were coming so that I could greet you at the door?” Dustin flattered Manta like a lapdog. Although Manta was not skilled in making pills or weapons, he was so strong that he was not to be trifled with. Dustin thought he could forge a good relationship with Manta and see if they could do some business dealings. “I'm here to see you for something important, of course.” Manta's attitude was not very good. He had always looked down on
Dustin solemnly took the cleaver from Manta and observed it in puzzlement. In his opinion, this thing was quite extraordinary. He realized the gravity of the issue when Manta took it out. This cleaver was simply unbelievable! At that moment, he felt the power of a divine artifact. As an engraver, he owned something similar to a divine artifact. However, Manta’s weapon was more powerful than his engraving knife, and Dustin was tempted by it. “This weapon?” Dustin looked at the weapon longingly and stroked it gently as if he were completely mesmerized by it. “Huh? Something’s wrong. Why is the killing intent and powerful strength of this weapon declining?” Dustin said seriously as if he just realized something. He scowled. Manta silently looked at Dustin and observed his expression. He was not afraid that Dustin would steal the weapon from him. After all, Dustin was weaker than him. More importantly, it would be useless even if Dustin got hold of it. The weapon would
If that happened, Manta would be punished no matter how important his position was. Thinking of this, Manta tossed this unrealistic idea out of his mind. In his opinion, Philip was just another loser. “This person must have a powerful engraving technique on hand. He should be the most outstanding engraving expert of our generation!” Dustin was lost in his own world, already regarding this person as his idol. “Do you know who it is?” Manta asked. “I have someone in mind, but that person is already dead.” Dustin wanted to find this person too. Seeing his reaction, Manta wanted to tell him about Philip. Dustin was very curious about this person. If possible, Manta could make use of Dustin to find this person. “Do you know Philip Clarke?” Manta asked abruptly. Dustin was dumbfounded. He stared at Manta, at a loss for words. “Are you on good terms with Philip?” Manta glanced at Dustin warily. Seeing Dustin’s anxiety, Manta relaxed. “No, I have beef with him,” Manta
Manta became expectant with this thought. He would take good care of Philip once it was confirmed that Philip was behind this. He would capture Philip for his own use. After all, few people had this ability. He could forget his grudge if Philip could do this. He did not go against Philip before this. In his opinion, he could forge a good relationship with Philip if he treated him nicely. Thinking of this, he felt lucky that he did not mess up back then. His plan was good, but unfortunately, not everything would go as he wished. However, he was not aware of it. He simply wanted to find this person now. Dustin was shocked to learn that Philip had something to do with this. He did not think Philip was behind it. In his opinion, Philip was just lucky. However, he found out some information through the chat with Manta. Philip had attached something to the weapon to make it so powerful. Dustin laughed and said, “I was wondering how Philip could be so powerful. Through my interact
“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
At this time, Rabbit hopped to Philip's side. “Philip, I was out for a walk yesterday and heard some rumors. They’ll be holding a competition among the humans soon, and all major families and forces will send some contestants for the fight. “Either a family or a force that is in charge of an area can join the competition. I heard that the Claude family is taking part.” Hearing this, and combined with their reaction, Philip guessed something. They probably wanted to trick Ronan into participating in the competition, which was why they were approaching him so enthusiastically. “There’s more.” Rabbit smiled and leaned forward, clearly asking for a beating. Philip saw Rabbit’s reaction and hit his face. “Just spit it out. Stop messing around!” Rabbit chuckled and said, “I heard that the Claude family is negotiating a business deal, and the prerequisite is that Ronan must participate in the competition and win first place. Although I don't know why, that’s the only condition the
Everyone was dumbfounded. No one thought that Ronan would take action without paying any heed to them. Cameron panicked and ordered his men to stop Ronan, “Guards, take action! You have to stop Ronan!” His face turned pale, and he wished that the guards could kill Ronan. However, he suddenly remembered the deal between the businessman and himself. “Wait, don’t kill him. I want him alive. I need him for something important!” Cameron shouted nervously as if he was sure that his guards would defeat Ronan. Other than the guards, other family members also stepped forward. They wanted to show off their strength. Seeing this, Philip waved to Ronan. He would take action if required. Ronan waved his hand indifferently in response. He did not need Philip’s help for now. He was strong enough to take care of it. At this time, Rabbit appeared drowsily. Rabbit led a carefree life, and Philip always let him be, so he was an idle rabbit. After Cameron and the others saw Rabbit, their e
Ronan became more confident after the chat with Philip. If anyone dared to mess with him, he would not hesitate to teach them a good lesson. Cameron looked around but did not see Rabbit. He was worried but went straight to the point. “My child, after all these years, have you finally decided to return to the family?” Cameron smiled as he attempted the emotional approach as if Ronan had lived outside over the years because of his own decision. Hearing that, Ronan coughed and nearly threw up. Cameron was really good at blaming him. “What do you mean? Did I ask you to kick me out of the house?” Ronan's eyes flashed with anger. As a weak and powerless child back then, he was kicked out of the house right after his mother’s death. That feeling was really humiliating. All his grievances over the years exploded at this point. He could not tolerate these hypocritical people anymore. Cameron noticed Ronan’s reaction and knew that it was bad. This matter was out of his control. Ronan
“Since you've accepted my things, you should…” Cameron rubbed his hands excitedly, looking at Rabbit smugly and expectantly. His men looked at Rabbit in delight. It would be great if they could get storage space. Rabbit shook his head in disdain. “What are you thinking? Do you think you’re worthy of me? You don’t even have a measly storage space. Who are you to bargain with me?” Rabbit kicked the nearest person away. “Don’t bother me again or that’ll be your outcome!” He hopped back into the house. He was not afraid that they would mess with him. Cameron was shocked that Rabbit would go back on his word after taking their things. He was furious. Those were the treasures of the family. It would be a disaster if they lost them. However, it was clearly not the right time to dwell on it. Cameron decided to talk to Rabbit again tomorrow. He had to talk to Ronan anyway. It would be best if he could fool them. “Let’s get some rest for the night and talk about it tomorrow morning
Cameron persuaded Rabbit excitedly. In his opinion, he was halfway to success. Rabbit nodded. “Give me what you have for now. At least show me your sincerity. You should know that the guy inside offered me a high price!” Rabbit fooled Cameron. He wanted to know what Cameron could come up with. Just crystals alone would be a letdown. Hearing that, Cameron waved to his men, signaling them to take out all the good things from the warehouse, at least to fool Rabbit for the time being. His men reluctantly went to the warehouse and took out all the treasures they had collected. Anyway, it was just for show and would not really be given to the rabbit, so they did not object. It would be a great deal if these treasures could attract a guardian beast. Rabbit nodded with satisfaction at these things. He waved his hand, and everything vanished from those people’s hands. Everyone was shocked and wondered what was going on. There was no such thing as storage space in this world. They ha
