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
Although Manta was not happy about it, he finally agreed. They had to keep this a secret, after all. They might accomplish it in secret if they kept a low profile. “This is my communication token. Just contact me if anything crops up.” After saying this, Manta left. He really disliked the smell of this place. He left the cleaver that had lost all effects with Dustin. Dustin would never pay any attention to this cleaver under normal circumstances, but he held this one for a long time and treated it like a treasure. The cleaver was not attractive and looked awkward if someone carried it on the street. After Manta left, Dustin picked up the cleaver with emotion. He felt heartbroken over this loss. Philip was a fool for using this precious technique on a cleaver. After much deliberation, Dustin contacted Fernand, who was having a great time playing politics. He had infiltrated the whole office, and everyone had lost their favor in front of the emperor. The emperor only
Fernand was quite concerned about such earth-shattering news. Maybe this was his chance to overthrow the government. “Tell me about your amazing discovery,” Fernand said impatiently. He could already see himself overthrowing the government. “It's a long story. But essentially, Philip has something that can turn ordinary weapons into something more powerful than a divine artifact!” Dustin quickly summarized his findings. Fernand could not believe that something so amazing existed in the world. “Are you sure? Seeing is believing,” Fernand said indifferently. He thought it was too surreal. Philip would have made a name for himself if there really was such a thing. Seeing Fernand’s doubts, Dustin picked up the cleaver. “Look at this! It was just an ordinary cleaver, but Philip turned it into something even more powerful than my engraving knife! However, there’s a time limit to this ability, and the time is already up." After saying that, he pointed to the wall in front of
