Manta left in anger. He did not expect Philip to be so arrogant even though he had apologized. In his opinion, Philip should have accepted his apology and then discussed the deal with him. Philip signaled Lyle for him to take action. He wanted to make sure that Manta apologized sincerely. “You may return after you apologize to them. I’ll talk to you about the deal once it’s over.” Philip continued to rest. Ira was very happy and urged Manta to apologize. Manta nodded with a scowl and went out. “What’s so difficult about an apology? I can do it easily!” Manta went to the city gates and apologized to the butcher's family. The butcher’s family had no idea what was going on. They were summoned to the city gates, and a man apologized to them and paid them a lot of money. “You're the one who killed my husband,” the butcher's wife said in grief. She did not expect the murderer to appear in front of her. “Indeed, I killed your husband. I've given you the compensation. Are
“No problem, I’m a man of my word. Since you've done your part, I’ll make the deal with you. I have three charms here. Just stick one on a weapon and you can turn it into a spiritual weapon,” Philip said mysteriously. He took out three pieces of paper and placed them on the table. Everyone was surprised and confused to see those ordinary items. Those were simply pieces of paper! Manta was furious and felt that Philip was tricking them. Now that his image had been ruined in front of Ira, Manta stopped putting on an act and cursed. “Don't be fooled by this guy. You can tell at a glance that he’s trying to trick us! What’s there to brag about a few pieces of paper?” Ira had her doubts over Manta’s words, but she looked at Philip in confusion. “Can you do a demonstration?” Ira was more inclined to believe Philip. In Ira's opinion, handsome men would never lie. In fact, Philip was not lying. Everything he did was the real deal. “Since you haven’t seen it before, I do
Now that the scythe had turned into such a powerful weapon, Ira felt like she was dreaming. Manta stared at Philip in trepidation, at a loss for words. If Philip had such an ability, he should not be underestimated. He looked at Philip’s hands. Philip held three pieces of the same paper, obviously treasures with the same function. He should be planning to use them for the deal. “This thing can last for about an hour. You can verify it.” In fact, engraving produced a similar effect, but the process was not as simple and convenient. The effects from engraving could last for about half a day, but the result was not so effective. More importantly, a piece of paper was very portable and could be used anytime and anywhere. Manta could already imagine himself reigning supreme with these pieces of paper in hand. He could instantly become stronger with these papers in hand if he faced an undefeatable enemy. “What happens if we use this charm on a spiritual weapon?” Manta asked w
Even Aslan did not know that Philip had such an ability. “Philip, that’s amazing. You can actually make people stronger!” Aslan was startled and regretted not studying these charms more thoroughly. Philip smiled and looked at Ira silently. He knew that Ira had to decide. Manta was nothing but a pawn, and Philip was quite sure that he could not come up with anything that would interest him. “Okay, no problem. I’ll report the situation without missing any details. I believe that we can come up with some things that can attract your interest.” Ira smiled and left. Although Ira was very interested in the charms, now was not the time to dwell on them. As for what the guild would offer in exchange, that was out of her hands. Ira kept pondering if she had anything valuable that she could exchange. “Ira, I don’t think we should trust Philip completely. He looks very cunning and doesn’t seem like an easy person to deal with.” Manta quickly chased after Ira as she left. He was
The guild leader waved the scythe casually and found that it contained a lot of energy. “We have few spiritual weapons of this caliber in our guild. These pieces of paper look so ordinary.” The guild leader was at a loss for words. He felt he must be dreaming. Philip’s ability was amazing, indeed. They knew Philip had more of these papers on hand. “No matter what happens from now on, we have to make a good impression on Philip and hope he'll agree to work with us.” Most people in the Spada Guild looked down on Dustin, whose skills were of little use to them, but Philip was different. Philip’s ability could double the guild’s overall strength. At this time, Dustin approached the Spada Guild after waiting impatiently. He tried to contact Manta through the communication token, but Manta did not respond to him. Dustin was very anxious and finally decided to turn up at their door. Dustin was afraid that Manta would forget about him if he reaped any benefits. That was t
At any rate, Dustin was a national expert and well-respected by the whole empire. The Spada Guild should not say that about him even if they were arrogant. “The effects of your engraving can only last for some time but require a long time of preparation. More importantly, we have to make use of the effects within half a day after engraving. For people like us who have to go out for missions, who knows if we’ll encounter anything in half a day?” Manta had a point, but Dustin was unhappy. “Hehe, is this thing different? I don't believe that this thing is more powerful than my engraving. There must be a time limit to the scythe too,” Dustin scowled and said coldly. Ira laughed and grabbed the three shabby pieces of paper from the side. “We just need to stick this paper on any weapon to transform it. Don't you think it's amazing? We can bring this paper anywhere and use it anytime. It can even make people stronger, and everything boils down to one piece of paper!” Ira careful
Manta quickly convinced himself, and his attitude toward Philip gradually became friendly. Philip had no idea that he had won Manta over even though he had only displayed a fraction of his strength. “Based on your reaction, I guess Philip is responsible for this.” Needless to say, Dustin had a different idea. At his age, he could never bear the humiliation. Philip's existence undoubtedly embarrassed him. He had to take revenge on Philip no matter what. Manta simply thought that they could disregard Dustin. Dustin’s mind raced, thinking of ways to trick Philip into revealing all his secrets. Dustin could not wait to get his hands on Philip’s treasures. It would be perfect if he could figure out all of Philip’s secrets. His strength would soar rapidly, and his profession would be highly sought-after across the continent. It was true that these scraps of paper from Philip had solved the problem that had been bothering him for ages. His engraving took a long time and was ti
Philip walked past a clinic and glanced inside. It was the most luxurious store he had ever seen in Imperial City, obviously expensive at a glance. More importantly, although it was expensive, there was no lack of visitors. Everyone sat in discomfort, waiting to see the doctor. Philip was amazed by this scene. He turned around and was about to walk away when someone stopped him. The man stood in front of Philip and handed a queue number to him. “Bro, please help me with my queue for the time being. My stomach is killing me!” he groaned in pain to Philip and put a few energy stones in Philip's hand. Clearly, he was asking Philip to queue up for him. Philip was surprised to hear a practitioner suffering from diarrhea. He would be a laughingstock if word of it got out. Seeing his earnest approach, however, Philip helped him with the queue without a word. He had nothing to do anyway, so doing a good deed was not bad. The man soon returned and apologized to Philip with a smile
A young man about the same age as him was so talented. Could anyone not be jealous? However, Louis was truly not jealous. He just wanted to learn from Philip. If Philip was really that strong, he would obey. Although Louis had a high status in the guild, he was not highly valued. That useless loser was given priority when it came to most of the resources, which made Louis upset. By right, resources should be allocated to talented people, but things were different because Hogster had a guild leader for a father. Thinking of this, Louis smiled at Philip expectantly. If Philip was worth following, he would leave the Hexa Guild without hesitation. “I want to apologize for offending you earlier. I also want to follow you, but I don’t know if I’m good enough. If you won’t consider me, I hope you can give my son a chance. He’s pretty talented.” Dennis was very polite as he apologized to Philip. Philip was surprised and thought that Dennis was quite nice. Philip invited them insi
Dennis and Louis quickly arrived at the door and knocked nervously. Rabbit opened the door this time. He did not expect to see Dennis again. He thought Dennis was here to cause trouble, so he scowled. “Why are you here again, old man? Do you want to cause more trouble for us? You’d better think twice or I’m going to get angry!” Rabbit said fiercely. Rabbit easily crushed them earlier, so they would not forget about their miserable defeat so quickly. Louis was embarrassed to hear that this rabbit had defeated his father. He had always thought that Dennis was very powerful and would not lose to a younger person no matter what. Unexpectedly, Dennis was not only defeated but lost miserably too. Louis keenly perceived that this talking rabbit was Philip’s pet and became excited. If Philip's pet was so powerful, Philip should be better. Thinking of this, he was excited and wanted to see Philip immediately. Rabbit stared at Dennis and Louis, wondering what they were up to. Denni
Celeste was surprised to see that Esther had restored her appearance. She had just seen Esther wearing a veil to cover her ugly face when they first met earlier. “Amazing! You look beautiful all of a sudden,” Celeste praised Esther from the bottom of her heart. Celeste did not know how it happened, but there had to be a reason for it. Esther smiled at Celeste. “Now that I’m beautiful, I can fully focus on taking care of Philip. Don’t worry, I won’t be worse than you.” Hearing that, Celeste was puzzled by Esther’s aggression. While everyone was lost in their own thoughts, an uninvited guest turned up at the door. It was none other than Dennis of the Hexa Guild. Dennis was not alone as he had brought his son along with him. His son was quite talented and always listened to his father's opinions. After all, he knew that he would not be where he was without his father’s guidance, and most of his father’s decisions were correct. “Father, are you sure we should leave the guild
Esther never thought that her curse could be lifted so quickly. More importantly, Esther found that all the negative energy in her body had disappeared. She took off her veil and looked at them with her true appearance. Esther was beautiful by nature, but the nasty technique had impacted her self-esteem. Now that she had regained her appearance, Esther’s confidence returned as well. “Wonderful! This technique is the perfect improved version! With this technique, our members can practice like any normal person without worrying about their appearance. Other guilds can’t kick a fuss over it or try to mess with us again!” Jamie was ecstatic and abruptly remembered a very important question. “By the way, what’s the deal with this technique? Did someone give it to you?” Jamie had to get to the bottom of it. It was very important. He would be uneasy if he did not figure out the situation. “Philip gave it to me. I don't know how he got our technique, but he’s quite good at studying
Philip nodded. That was his intention too. It would be best if Carlos did all the work for him. After getting Philip's consent, Carlos rushed out excitedly. He took the booklet to Jamie. Esther and Jamie were discussing the plan of operation. “You have to catch hold of Philip. I finally got you here. Don't let us down. It’s best if you can trick Philip into joining our guild!” Jamie persuaded Esther, hoping she could trick Philip into joining the guild. Esther sighed helplessly. She knew what she should do, but Philip was clearly not buying it. She was not as pretty as Celeste, and she had this curse on her, so she could not hold her head high at all. At this time, Carlos rushed over in a panic. “Why are you in such a hurry? You’re already a father, but you’re still so impulsive—just like a child who never grows up!” Jamie sighed helplessly at Carlos’ behavior. Carlos was like a brother who grew up with him, and the two of them had always had a good relationship. Carlos w
Carlos thought Philip would do something to him, but Philip simply handed him something he took out of his pocket. “Try practicing this technique.” After Philip handed him the item, he stared at Carlos, waiting for the result. Carlos was relieved to hear it. He had thought Philip was going to do something to him, but it turned out that Philip simply wanted Carlos to try a technique out. Carlos smiled and shook his head. “We can’t practice other techniques different from our own unless someone can make improvements to our existing technique. Only then do we have the chance to learn something new. But do you know how difficult it is to improve a technique?” Carlos smiled helplessly. Their people had been trying to improve their technique forever. After all, the side effects of the technique were simply annoying, but it was easier said than done. Their predecessors had been studying it for years but to no avail. They had no choice but to give up. Now, only one elder was resp
“Since she’s one of your people, she can stay, but don’t try to do anything,” Philip said. Philip glanced at the holy maiden. Before he could say anything else, something appeared in his mind. It was the technique she practiced. Philip had no idea what happened. He had merely glanced at her when her technique appeared in his mind. Although it was weird, Philip did not think it was a bad thing. Instead, he was happy. He knew that it was a special ability. Thinking of this, Philip was in a good mood. He went back to his room after excusing himself. He wanted to study the technique carefully. It would be best if he could discover something. The holy maiden watched indignantly as Philip left. Jamie knew that Celeste’s biggest advantage was her looks. She was so beautiful that the holy maiden felt the pressure. “Stay here with peace of mind and treat it as your own home. No need for formalities,” Celeste said to them with a smile as if she were the mistress of the house. Jam
Philip waved his hand. That was not what he meant. At this time, Celeste walked out of her room. She had fallen in love with cooking and always immersed herself in the kitchen, figuring out different recipes. In the past, Celeste lived alone in the gloomy forest without freedom or friends. After meeting Philip, she became more vibrant. Celeste would feel a sense of achievement whenever Philip ate the food she cooked. Seeing her, Philip greeted Celeste and introduced the visitors to her. “I don’t need a maid. I already have someone to take care of the household chores. Thank you for your kindness,” Philip said with a smile. Celeste had been doing a good job, so Philip did not think he needed another woman to take care of him. The more women around, the more trouble there would be. The holy maiden froze in surprise at the sight of such a beautiful woman around Philip. Although she was not ugly, she had to live with this ugly appearance until her marriage because of that nas
“That’s enough. Stop talking about me. You might as well think about how to deal with Hogster and the others. The Hexa Guild will definitely come after you.” Philip greeted Jamie calmly without taking the incident seriously at all. Seeing his reaction, Jamie thought that Philip was more and more unfathomable. The Hexa Guild was making a big fuss over this case. Many guilds had accepted the Hexa Guild’s gifts and now stood in opposition to the Celestial Palace. Although this matter had nothing to do with those guilds at all, they accepted the Hexa Guild's gifts in exchange for hyping the news up. It would be best if the two guilds fought. Maybe they could take advantage of the situation in the process! The other major guilds were waiting to watch the excitement too. They hoped that the Celestial Palace would be affected by this incident and it would maybe result in them losing the guild competition. Philip was also quite interested in the guild competition but was more curious
