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
“You must be a miracle doctor! I can’t believe that I have a miracle doctor standing in front of me! You’re amazing!” He took out some money and stuffed it into Philip's hand excitedly. Philip was startled by his enthusiasm and felt a little embarrassed. “You’re welcome. This is nothing. Keep the money. I’m just here for a look.” Philip returned the money to the other party and turned to leave. At this moment, however, a ferocious-looking man stood in front of Philip and stopped him from leaving. “What’s up?” Philip scowled at the hostile man. The man who wanted to give Philip some money stood gaping, but his high spirits took a fall because he recognized the other man. “Hey dude, there’s no conflict between us. You don’t have to stop him,” the man who suffered from diarrhea said awkwardly. He felt sorry for landing Philip in trouble. “I’m sorry, buddy. Find a chance to run away. Don’t stay here anymore. This guy is out to get you!” After saying that in a low voic
The young man was holding a handful of herbs and looked like a doctor here. “Why is it so noisy outside? Don’t you know that we have to keep quiet? Go away if you don’t want to see a doctor!” His attitude was very arrogant, and he looked so young that most people would not think he was a doctor. The onlookers were very excited at the sight of the young man and started waving their hands, trying to grab his attention. However, the young man arrogantly ignored them. The young man stared at Philip condescendingly and fidgeted with the herbs in his hands. “So, you’re the troublemaker. Get out of here and stop affecting our business.” Philip simply wanted to take a look before leaving, but these people were so arrogant that he changed his mind. “Why should I leave just because you want me to?” Philip said with a smile and picked up some money that fell to the ground. The money belonged to him, and he was not about to leave it for these losers. Hearing that, both the youn
On the other hand, no one knew Philip. He was simply an unknown person who appeared out of nowhere, so no one thought highly of him. The patients in Philip’s group lamented their bad luck but fortunately, Neon said that he would take responsibility for them. “The patients in your team don’t have to pay for the treatment, and if their ailment persists, they can come back to me anytime and I’ll treat them for free.” Neon said that on purpose to stimulate Philip. He glanced at Philip provocatively, hoping to see his anger. However, he was sorely disappointed. Philip simply sat aside waiting for the challenge to begin without intending to be angry. Neon snorted coldly, and someone announced the start of the challenge. Philip glanced at the patient in front of him and immediately figured out his condition. “Eat this.” Philip handed the other party a pill made by the kids at home. Only one pill was needed to cure most ailments. Every patient here was suffering immensely. They
Philip sat aside and looked at Neon, looking like a victor mocking him. Neon glanced at Philip in disbelief. He rubbed his eyes, thinking his eyes were playing tricks on him. However, reality proved otherwise. All of the patients were alive and well without any injuries or discomfort. Seeing this scene, Neon sighed at his unexpected defeat. Everyone knew that he was a miracle doctor, so it was embarrassing to lose to someone. “Impossible. How could I lose?” Neon muttered under his breath. At this time, the burly guard stepped forward and said, “Dr. Bell, I saw him giving pills to his patients. Something must be wrong with the pills!” The man was very annoying and tried to make things difficult for Philip. He complained about Philip, thinking he could land Philip in trouble. Neon said to Philip curiously, “The pill my guard mentioned, can you show it to me?” Although Neon was devastated over his defeat, he was still rational. “I don’t mind showing it to you, but don’t
Neon gave the guard a reassuring look and savored the pill carefully. The pill melted in his mouth, and the taste was impeccable. The energy in the pill rapidly flowed into his internal organs, repairing his whole body. In fact, Neon was facing some issues. He encountered an incident when he was in his teens, so he could only maintain the appearance of a teenager. He felt very uncomfortable with this childish appearance. Thus, Neon chose to take a back seat and treat patients. Although most people would not ridicule his height and would only compliment his skills, he was worried about not finding a girlfriend. When he took the pill, a sudden change came over Neon. His dwarflike stature grew taller very quickly at a speed almost visible to the naked eye. Neon’s young and tender face also became more mature. Philip was not used to this sight but had to admit that Neon had become more mature. “This pill can actually unclog my veins and meridians. It’s amazing!” Neon yell
“I studied medicine because I wanted to treat myself, but after practicing medicine for so many years, I never succeeded. “A doctor can't heal himself. This saying makes sense.” Neon was full of emotions. All his hard work over the years was no match for a random pill given by others. Likewise, he realized the value of Philip’s pill, which Philip had given out dozens of earlier. “Are you an alchemist?” Neon looked at Philip expectantly. He was acquainted with an alchemist in Imperial City, but the other party could not make a pill to cure him. If Philip was really that good, he had to be friends with him. “Of course, I made these pills myself. I’m here just to take a look.” Philip made no secret of his achievements and admitted everything openly. Neon almost went crazy. He pulled Philip into the corner to make a personal request. Philip was curious about Neon’s sneaky actions. This guy was still a kid, after all. “I have a request. My family member is seriously il
A girl asked curiously. The bodyguard rolled his eyes. “I don’t know who he is. I thought he was a troublemaker, but he turned out to be an expert!” The bodyguard felt very embarrassed and wished he could bury his head in a hole. Fortunately, no one dwelled on his mistake or he would have been in trouble. Philip did not make things difficult for the bodyguard either. There was no point in messing with a normal human. Neon quickly took Philip back home, treating Philip as a miracle doctor by now. Philip cured him so easily. What else could he be if not a miracle doctor? “Are you a doctor?” Neon asked Philip curiously. Philip shook his head. “I'm just a practitioner who can make pills.” He preferred to keep a low profile. Neon showed a look of realization. “So, you’re just an alchemist.” Neon was relieved to hear that. The status of an alchemist was very high, better than a doctor. Neon would not have become a doctor if he could make pills. Although doctors were h
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
