Nero rushed to Philip and begged Philip to save him. “Philip, it’d be great if you could help me!” Nero looked at Philip expectantly, ready to give Philip all his fortune. “I can give you all my money. Please save me!” Nero said humbly. Philip was not used to such humbleness. “No problem. You just need to buy a pill to save your life. Your problems are not such a big deal. Here you go.” Philip handed a pill to Nero. The pill was sold in his store, so Philip did not think highly of it. Nero was moved by Philip’s words. He took the pill from Philip and swallowed it in one gulp. He respected Philip very much. Philip smiled in satisfaction as Nero took the pill. Neon and the old man stared at Nero curiously, waiting to see what would happen. After Nero took the pill, he was shocked to find some changes happening in his body. The sensation of crawling bugs disappeared, and his limbs became very warm and comfortable. “I feel like I'm back to normal,” Nero said in surprise
Nero and Neon looked at each other, shocked to hear that their father was prepared to kill for them. At the same time, they realized something. “Dad, if she’s that powerful, can we even put up a fight?” Neon asked nervously. Their family members had been suffering for a while, so none of them were very strong. They might have to hire outside help for this. “We need to find some powerful hunters to help us. We can form a large force and go to South City to hunt her down!” Nero was very pissed with the other party for harming him for no reason. Who could bear it? The conflict was between the older generation, nothing to do with them at all. Now that things had progressed this way, he was unwilling to show mercy. “That’s right. Since this woman wants to harm us, we have no reason to hold back. We should let her family members have a taste of their own medicine!” Everyone was eager to take action and vent their frustration. “Buddy, why don’t you help us?” Neon turned his
Aslan was sitting on a stool looking at the scenery, nearly bored out of his mind. Practice was not important to him at all. With his ability, he could improve his strength even if he did not practice, so he simply slept or daydreamed his day away. Aslan smiled brightly to see Philip returning in high spirits. “Hey, Philip, why do you look so excited? Any good news for me?” Aslan greeted him affectionately. Philip nodded. “Declan, I’ll give you a different pill-making method now. I want you to stay here and guide the kids in learning this new method. Learning it as soon as possible will be very beneficial to you,” Philip said with a smile, taping Declan on the head. The next moment, Declan felt as if he had an epiphany and understood many things. “That’s great! I can finally teach Lyle again.” Declan was in a good mood and ran back to his room as if he had regained his youth. The technique Philip taught him could help rejuvenate him. The more he practiced it, the yo
It would be fine if they knew these beasts, but no one recognized them and had no idea where they came from, which was worrying. “Don't panic, everyone. We prepared these beasts as mounts for everyone. The journey will be very slow without them,” Aslan said with smug disdain. These guys were so ignorant. Although Philip had found these beasts from other places, it was embarrassing to see everyone’s reactions to the beasts. Everyone was dumbfounded to hear that the beasts were meant as mounts for them. “Are you sure they can be used as mounts? I feel like they'll eat me alive in one bite!” “Are these the legendary ancient beasts? Why have I never seen them before? I never thought that I’d see one in my lifetime!” Everyone was at a loss because they had never seen these beasts before and could not even name them. They were experienced hunters, but no one knew it. Everyone was flustered and wondered if they should get in the carriage. Neon glanced at Philip. Although h
Everyone realized that the beasts were gone after hearing the wise man’s prompt. This speed was simply daunting. The people who did not get on the carriage regretted it. They finally received a big mission but were disqualified because they did not dare to get on the carriage. It was too late for regrets. The beasts had left. It was impossible for them to reach South City quickly at their speed. These people could only lament in the direction the beasts left. Neon and the others felt the world spinning when they got on the carriage. They finally adapted to it after a while. Right then, Philip knocked on the door. “We’re here. You can come down now,” Philip said. Neon was taken aback and glanced at his brother in confusion. Both of them were still dizzy. Their practice level was quite low, so they did not feel very good at this moment. The stronger people were not so badly affected. They simply felt dizzy, and a moment later, they arrived in South City. This speed was
Neon and the others were different. They were quite weak, so it would be bad if they encountered any trouble now. “Don't worry, I can take care of myself,” Neon nodded and said excitedly to Philip. This trip was indeed exciting, especially for Neon, who had never been outside Imperial City. In the mysterious valley of South City, an old woman was vomiting blood while bedridden. Many people gathered around, worried about her health. “Mom, are you okay? Your health is getting worse by the minute. What happened today?” a man said anxiously by the bedside, shocked by his mother’s condition. His mother had always been very energetic, leading everyone in the valley to practice their secret techniques. However, her health started deteriorating this morning. First, she vomited blood, and her body twitched all over. Now, she could not even walk. “Based on what you taught us, are you suffering a backlash?” the young man asked with doubt and caution. If his mother suffered a b
The young man's name was Abell Lauder, the most outstanding young talent in this valley. As the descendant of the old woman, his talent was unparalleled. “If I’m not mistaken, they’ll be here soon.” The man sat on the stool and closed his eyes as if he had anticipated everything. Abell grimaced in surprise to hear that. “Don’t worry, Dad. So what if they're here? I won’t show them any mercy.” Abell was still kept in the dark and had no idea what was going on. He only knew that he had to defend his mother. The old woman was not happy that her secret had been exposed. She had planned to keep everything a secret. In fact, the old woman had harmed more than one person. Most people who knew her secret had been killed. She left only one man to carry on the family line for her. If the old woman could stand up and resist, she would kill her husband at once. However, her strength was slowly failing. She would probably die if she did not get treatment soon. “Find a white
“Philip, are you sure we’re in the right place?” Philip nodded. Although various formations had been laid out to mislead them, Philip easily deciphered them. At this time, Philip and the others met Abell, who was looking for white ganoderma in the mountain. Abell was shocked to see outsiders on the mountain, and they broke their formations too. “Abell, do you think those people entered the formations by mistake or broke through them?” a woman asked curiously. Everyone knew about the formations in the valley, so they never went out, and no one entered by mistake either. Mr. Bell Senior was lucky enough to enter the formations by mistake without dying and experienced a romantic encounter on top of that. Later, he managed to leave with his overwhelming luck. He was the only outsider they knew over the years. Abell glanced at the group of people with disdain. “They probably broke in by mistake. Maybe they destroyed the formations, but it's not a big deal. We just need to fi
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
