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
“You have to iron out the details or our efforts will be in vain.” It was easy for Fernand to say. Dustin rolled his eyes inwardly. “Of course, I know that. I’m more anxious than you are.” After saying this, Dustin fumbled with the cleaver. Although the cleaver had returned to normal, Dustin was still in awe. Fernand could not bear the sight of Dustin. He left Dustin's home and quickly contacted Lance. Although he was not on good terms with Lance, he could order Lance around with his supreme authority. Lance was thinking about how to deal with Fernand when Fernand approached him instead. “Lance, I need you to complete a very important mission next.” Fernand arrived at Lance's house and stated his request without further ado. “Find a guy named Philip Clarke, kidnap him, and send him to Dustin's home. You don’t have to worry about the minor details. The emperor has approved this operation. There’s no official written order because this is a secret operation,” Fernand flat
Fernand made it clear that he bore a deep grudge against Philip. He seemed serious about getting Lance to deal with Philip. Lance arrived at Philip's house as quickly as possible and broke into Philip's room in a panic. Philip was idling his time away when someone barged into his room. “Philip, something bad is about to happen. Someone wants to screw you!” Philip was dumbfounded by Lance’s crude language. “Young man, watch your words!” Lance was not quiet about it, and Aslan heard him at the door. Aslan walked over and looked at Lance expectantly. “What’s up?” Aslan was more curious than anyone else. Philip shrugged. He had no idea. “Fernand ordered me to kidnap you and bring you to Dustin’s house, but I don’t know the details!” Lance said everything in one breath. After saying that, he took a big gulp of tea. He had run with all his might just now. Seeing his appearance, Aslan kindly gave him a pill. “Here, take a pill to restore your energy.” Lance was mov
“That’s settled. You can find an opportunity to bring Philip over. Let’s see who’s arrogant enough to attack Philip!” Aslan decided before Philip could speak. Lance nodded at the sight of Philip’s consent. “In that case, okay!” Lance wanted to get it done quickly as well. Maybe they could follow the clues and find out the forces behind Fernand. “By the way, I heard that the Spada Guild has been acting up recently,” Lance said in a low voice. He was afraid that the Spada Guild had spies around. “Are you referring to their checkpoints at the city gates?” Philip said with a smile. Lance nodded. “I don't know who they're looking for. I heard that they had a dispute with someone at the city gates and a butcher died, but I didn’t find out the specifics.” Lance was upset about it. Although he had nothing to do with the butcher, he felt sorry for him. “I heard that someone took the butcher’s cleaver. The butcher tried to take it back, but he was killed. Don’t you think it’s
Philip shook his head. “Maybe it’s more than meets the eye. These people are probably not interested in me but in my technique of turning a cleaver into a spiritual weapon.” Philip’s remark shocked everyone into realization. They thought Philip had a point. “You’re right. That must be it. In that case, should we put on a show for them?” Lance said with a smile. He thought of an idea to deal with this guild. “I think so too.” Philip and Lance quickly reached a consensus and made some plans together. Very soon, Philip was bound in ropes and transported to Dustin's house. Aslan sneakily followed behind and observed the surroundings. As a monster beast, he could conceal his presence very well. Although Aslan had nothing to fear, he was worried that the Spada Guild would send some powerful experts over. Philip was brought to the room prepared by Dustin with his head covered. Lance stared at this disgusting guy indifferently. This old man always had a bad reputation,
Seeing the woman’s horror, Philip scratched his head awkwardly. He did not expect that her reaction would be so intense. “Don't worry, I'm not a good person.” After saying that, Philip sat down nonchalantly as if he was not worried about this powerful woman. Seeing Philip’s disregard for her, the woman was so angry that she could barely speak.“As you can see, I’m one of those humans,” Philip introduced himself. Philip had nothing to hide. His identity was no secret. “So, you’re one of those disgusting humans. You look quite strong. Since you found me, I’ll accept my fate. Just kill me if you want. There’s no need to insult me any further.” This woman was quite interesting. She jerked her chin up as if she was ready to let Philip kill her. Philip sighed at her reaction. Why was someone so eager to die? “I don’t want to kill you. I’m just curious about you. I just arrived at Deadly Arena recently,” Philip said to the other party sincerely. He was very curious about the
“You’re right, someone is controlling these beasts behind the scenes. Although I don’t know if the culprit is a powerful beast or a guild, they're not to be trifled with.” Philip did not hide this information but asked his men to take action. Since they were already here, they had to ensure their safety. No one would be exempted if anything happened. “You can join in the fight, but don’t try too hard. Just kill a few beasts and wait until I get to the bottom of this,” Philip said to his people. He was afraid that his men would work too hard but end up with nothing. Everyone nodded solemnly at Philip’s instructions. They quickly joined the battlefield and casually swung their weapons around, killing the arrogant beasts. Due to their strength, they easily crushed the beasts without much effort. As the fight reached its peak, Philip observed the source of the beast stampede. “Do you see that? The beasts are coming from that direction, and they’re clearly well-organized and d
Philip noticed the change and frowned at the mysterious man, whose expression changed drastically. “This is bad. I’ve never heard this alarm before.” After saying this, he invited Philip to go with him to Deadly Arena to find out what happened. They arrived at Deadly Arena and saw everyone staring ahead nervously as if waiting for someone to speak. Philip’s guild members noticed his return and approached him nervously. Aslan ran up to Philip worriedly. “Philip, I asked around and found something wrong. Deadly Arena is a dangerous place because it’s situated next to the beast forest. This situation has happened from time to time in the past, but no one was bothered. They’d even organize teams to hunt the beasts and Deadly Arena would provide rewards for this.” Philip roughly understood the situation from Aslan’s explanation. Since Deadly Arena had been managing this place for so long, they had taken responsibility for the safety issue. Once the beasts appeared, they would ensu
Argent thought he had come up with a good plan to set Philip up, but he was the fool who was kept in the dark in the end. Philip smiled at Argent’s angry departure and invited the mysterious man to his room. Although Philip chatted with him earlier, he did not know much about him. Philip could tell that the man had concealed his true appearance. Philip was curious to see what would happen. The mysterious man noticed Philip’s anticipation but simply stared at him in silence. Philip wanted to know his identity and purpose for coming here. “I really think highly of you. It’d be best if you could join me.” He knew that Philip would not give in so easily, so his rationality told him to give up. “It’s impossible for me to join you, but I’m curious about your situation. I believe you have a grudge against that guy or you wouldn’t resent him so much.” Philip smiled at the guy. He knew that the grudge between the two was very deep. The mysterious man was surprised that Philip
In Argent’s opinion, Philip was a prideful person and would never accept this proposal. “Of course, you have the right to refuse. I just want to see what you think.” The mysterious man smiled at Philip brightly as if he did not mind Philip’s rejection.Seeing the mysterious man’s attitude, Argent was afraid that his plan would fail. Philip was not a fool. He could tell at a glance that the two people in front of him were not on the same side. Everyone had their own agendas. “In that case, I have to refuse. I’m sorry, but I’m used to leading a carefree life. Besides, I have my own force, so I won’t join other teams.” A trace of regret flashed in the other party's eyes. He was surprised to hear that Philip was capable enough to form a team of his own. “I’m surprised that you’re so strong at such a young age. In that case, I won’t make things difficult for you. Maybe we can become friends instead.” The mysterious man quickly made small talk with Philip. He clearly had some idea
Most people would be freaked out at the sight of his face. He took out a photo from his pocket and held it in his hand angrily. “Argent, you've enjoyed your life long enough. It’s time to get what you deserve.” The mysterious man smiled cruelly with obvious hatred for Argent. This whole incident had nothing to do with Philip at all. Philip was simply a pitiful pawn in these people’s hands. Philip never dreamed that someone would target him for no reason. He just wanted to improve his strength. He could not care less about what other people thought of him.… Time passed quickly. The next day, Philip did not expect these people to come after him so soon. He just wanted to have a good rest and find a suitable place to settle down, but these people were as annoying as pesky flies. “Philip, get out here at once. I want to see how strong you are. How dare you show off in front of me?” Argent yelled at Philip’s door in disdain. His right hand was bandaged tightly as if he was still
The mysterious man forced himself to contain his anger and smile at Argent. Argent knew that he had to stop asking for more. At this point, what was the most important? “I can give you Philip’s address, and we can deal with him tomorrow morning. If you teach him a good lesson, I’m sure he’ll listen to you,” Argent said smugly. His plan was simple. He wanted to use the other party to deal with Philip. Philip had messed with him earlier and crippled his right hand. He would have died if he had not stopped the bleeding in time. Therefore, the grudge between him and Philip was so deep that he could not wait to rip Philip into pieces. Argent and the mysterious man who refused to reveal his name quickly came up with a plan. “In that case, I’ll see you again tomorrow morning. I hope you won't let me down.” After saying this, the mysterious man zoomed into the distance and soon disappeared. Seeing the other party’s hasty retreat, Argent was full of disdain. “Hehe, you think too hig
“Wow, you guys are so generous to send me such a precious gift this time. Tell me more about the deal you want to discuss with me. If it’s up to my expectations, I can consider it.” Argent's mood changed for the better. He smiled brightly and did not consider other possibilities. He seemed to have forgotten the conflict and resentment he had toward Philip. “We know that a young heroic man has appeared in Deadly Arena this time. We’re very interested in him and have decided to recruit him. I heard that you fought him before. I wonder if he's as powerful as I imagined.” The other party did not introduce himself but looked at Argent with a smile. Argent scowled. He thought that this matter was over, but this guy brought it up again. He was obviously trying to belittle him. “Hehe, let’s forget it. I don’t have much of an opinion about Philip. He’s just an average person, nothing worth mentioning.” Argent was afraid of exposing his shame, so he tried to tarnish Philip’s reputati
After confirming that he could leave safely, Argent ran away quickly, unwilling to stay a second longer. Philip was so terrifying that he wanted to keep his distance from him. Argent simply wanted to rob Philip of his treasures, but he was seriously injured instead. He could not accept it. Argent quickly ran back home. He had settled down with his family after such a long time. Given his strength, no one refused his requests. Argent’s family members simply wanted to follow someone strong, so they did not mind doing anything. In the meantime, an uninvited guest appeared at Argent’s home. He did not make an appointment with Argent in advance, so Argent did not know him. When Argent returned home in a mess, they bumped into each other. “I’m surprised to see the head of the family looking so miserable. I’m here at the right time.” The man stared at Argent mockingly as if he was enjoying the show. Argent was annoyed by his reaction, angry that an outsider had seen him in his most mi
