As they walked, the two of them discussed clothes, furniture, passing judgment items they saw. To everyone else watching, they looked like a couple planning their married life together!For some reason, the beautiful Nina even invited Philip up to her place after he walked her to her neighborhood.“Um, I don’t think I should…”Philip scratched his head and gave her an awkward smile.So she did have an ulterior motive after all, huh?“It’s fine, just come up for a seat,” Nina continued to persuade him.Philip thought it over and agreed to follow her upstairs.Nina’s apartment was very clean, with one living room and two bedrooms. There was a simple three-seater couch in the living room, while her bedroom was much more girly, with pink decor and many stuffed animals on the bed.Philip sat on the living room couch and took a deep breath. Whoa, it smelled good!The whole apartment smelled faintly of perfume. It really raised his spirits.Nina had just changed into something less
Judging by how he was slurring his words, the man probably had one too many. Also, it was someone that Nina knew! Philip frowned and looked at Nina. When he realized that she had stumbled a few steps back in fear, Philip got up. He made a hush gesture, patted her delicate shoulder, and asked her again, "Do you know him?"Nina bit her lips. A trace of hesitation flashed in her eyes, then she shook her head desperately and said, "I don't know him!"When he heard that, Philip grinned. Nina was really relieved that Philip was there with her. She felt safer whenever he was around, especially after the previous bus experience. After that, Philip walked behind the door and glanced through the peephole. He saw that it was a drunk man who was slamming the door violently.He thought about it, grinned, and hid behind the door. He then motioned Nina to open the door.Nina clenched her fist, took a deep breath, and opened the door.As expected, as soon as the door opened, the man who s
Although Harrison was Nina's ex-boyfriend, they had never been intimate. He would usually go to a prostitute when he had the need.Previously, he had intended to force himself on her when he was drunk, but the moment was ruined by the fat lady next door!It was also because of this incident that Nina broke up with him.There was no way around it. She was a very conservative person. When they were together, she had mentioned that she would not sleep with him until they got married."Harrison, I’m warning you! If you don't leave now, I’ll call the police!"Nina grabbed her phone from her bag on the sofa as she said angrily."What’s the point of calling the police? With trash as such, we should just drown him in the toilet!"Philip had no patience to hear Harisson talk anymore. His voice came from behind the door.The tattooed man was startled. He thought that Nina was alone in the house, but he did not expect that there were other people! Moreover, it was a man!When he saw Phil
However, in just an instant, he was kicked and knocked down onto the sofa. His stomach was overwhelmed, and his dinner was vomited out!Philip just gave him one kick. He had not expected this one kick to lead to this. He turned and looked at Nina, then apologized. "I'm sorry, I dirtied your sofa."The tattooed man rolled around hugging onto his stomach, and the veins on his face were popping!He fell from the sofa to the ground. As he vomited everything that was left in his stomach, he felt like he was being torn apart!"I hate drunks. Moreover, a drunk who’s spewing bullshit! She made herself clear. How dare you still pester her after breaking up. I’ll make sure you learn your lesson tonight."Philip was stern and fierce. He walked to the tattooed man who had collapsed on the ground, squatted down, grabbed his hair, and slapped him so hard that the whole house could hear!He slapped Harison left and right without a pause!In just half a minute, Philip had slapped Harisson 30 or
“It’s fine. I know the limit. This guy can’t die yet.”Philip chuckled and said.When the tattooed guy heard what Philip said, he trembled in fear. When he was about to say something, he inhaled the cold air that smelled of blood.It was as if his legs did not belong to him anymore. He had never experienced this kind of excruciating pain before.Due to the pain in his legs, the tattooed man lied on the floor while moaning for a very long time. He was calling for help in a small voice.He opened his mouth. He wanted to scream for help.Pfft!When he opened his mouth, a very spicy powder invaded his nostrils and mouth.“You want to call for help? Why didn’t you do it before? You can’t blame others for your stupidity.”Philip’s gaze was ferocious. He was holding a bag of chili powder.The tattooed man felt as if he was going to be choked to death. The spicy chili powder was being stuffed into his nostrils and mouth. At that moment, he felt as if his soul had left his body. He wa
The entire room was filled with the pungent smell of urine. It was also combined with the smell of chili powder.The tattooed guy was beyond petrified now. He had even fainted from fear.Philip looked at Nina helplessly. Then, he spread out his hands to tell her that this guy was too timid. He yanked the tattooed man’s hair and dragged him to the kitchen. He splashed a basin of water on his face and the guy woke up.When he opened his eyes and saw Philip, he was terror-stricken. He shivered while yelling for help on the floor.His eyes were filled with tears. He was screaming until his voice was hoarse.“How is it? Are you awake now? Alright then, it’s time to talk about the compensation like civilized members of society.”Philip was smiling mockingly as he said.Compensation?The tattooed man was so touched that he wanted to cry. ‘You should indeed compensate me after hitting me!‘He’s a coward, after all. He even wants to bribe me.’ The tattooed man started plotting in his h
Nina asked all of a sudden with red eyes. She grabbed Philip’s arm bravely. She looked vulnerable and fragile. “I’m scared. I’m scared that Harrison will come back with more people.”Philip lowered his head and looked at Nina’s hands that were on his arm. He removed her hands slowly and chuckled. “It’ll be fine. That guy’s just strong in appearance but weak in reality. If he dares to come back, just call me.”After chatting with Nina for a while, Philip left.He could not stay here any longer. It was just the two of them.Philip was still defensive.Nina did not force him to stay. She walked him downstairs.Philip waved his hand and put his hands into his pockets. He hummed a song and walked away carefreely.In Nina’s eyes, Philip’s back looked broad and strong. Perhaps, this was the man she should go after.She was sure that this would be another sleepless night.When Nina got back to her house, she saw that there were three men in her house.The leader of the three men was
Philip explained. “Don’t worry about this matter, Wynnie. A friend of mine introduced Buffer to me. Don’t overthink. Just take good care of the company.”Wynn wanted to say something but stopped herself. When she wanted to ask something else, the door of the room was opened.Martha stood at the door with a grin. She did not care about their expressions as she barged in. She smiled and asked, “I heard you two saying that you’ve solved the company’s trouble?”“Mom, why are you always eavesdropping?”Wynn felt helpless. She lifted her eyebrow.Her mother did not have a limit at all. This was not the first time she eavesdropped.Martha rolled her eyes at Wynn and ignored her. Then, she turned around to look at Philip with a grin on her face. She said, “Philip, did you take care of it? You even have such an amazing friend. When can you invite them for dinner at our place? After all, they’ve helped us so much.”Martha was being extremely amiable right now.Philip smiled and said, “Ma
If Philip was at fault, Lincoln had nothing to say. However, if Hogster was the one who had caused all the trouble, he would not spare them. “I’ll get to the bottom of this. Now, tell me what’s going on with Dennis. Based on my understanding of him, he wouldn't betray the guild for no reason. He must have a reason for doing this!” Neither of them could explain what happened to Dennis. They could only say that humans were fickle. After all, they could not figure it out either. The person at fault would never admit their fault. Alain did not think that he was biased or thought that what he had done was excessive. He simply thought that Dennis looked down on him, which was why he decided to leave. Now that he was gone, Alain could say whatever he wanted, and Dennis could not defend himself. Thinking of this, Alain was very excited. He began to defame Dennis and shifted the attention away from him and his son. Lincoln scowled as he listened. Then, he returned to his room and summ
Alain was helpless. Although he had a lot to say, he could not do anything in front of Lincoln. Lincoln was stronger than him in every aspect, a force to be reckoned with. He was not someone Alain could deal with. Alain looked at Lincoln awkwardly. He wanted to appease his anger but did not know what to say. “You need to explain this to me. Why did Dennis leave? And I want to know why the guild’s reputation has become so bad. Did you do something wrong?”Lincoln heard that Dennis had been expelled and could no longer stay in the guild. Many people supported Dennis, so they were upset with Alain and tried to defame him. Hearing that, Alain knew that someone must have been talking behind his back, but he did not dare to lose his temper. He forced a smile and looked at Lincoln in a flattering manner. Before he could find an excuse, Hogster rushed over excitedly and said to his father, “Father, guess what I did to Philip? Hehe!” Hogster recounted his handiwork smugly without p
It had been years since the grandmaster went into seclusion for practice. He was not concerned about power. He once mentioned that he would not leave his seclusion unless he reached the top. Hence, no one expected to see him. “Grandmaster, you appeared at the right time. We would've been in trouble if you didn't come out!” “That’s right. Everyone is bullying us. Now that you’re out, you can help us.” Everyone complained about their grievances, feeling sorry for themselves. The Hexa Guild was in trouble, and they faced various problems too. All the major guilds were keeping a close eye on the Hexa Guild, waiting to see them make a fool of themselves. The Celestial Palace planned to destroy the Hexa Guild instead of letting them off. They could not accept the initial setup, so they decided to erase the Hexa Guild from existence. Hence, the Hexa Guild had been under great pressure, with the members wishing that someone could help them. Unexpectedly, a strong expert appeared.
Ronan was his buddy, and his wife's reputation was at stake. Philip could not stand idly by. He had to help. Jamie was very fast at ordering his people to make the matter public. No one expected another dramatic turn of events. Everyone thought that the young lady of the Celestial Palace was an unchaste woman for making that decision. Unexpectedly, the Celestial Palace found a way to solve the side effects of their technique. All the major guilds were in trepidation. Although the Celestial Palace’s technique was very powerful, the side effects reduced its allure. Now that that problem was solved, everything was different. On top of that, the holy maiden and other members of the guild showed their appearance in public. Regardless of gender, everyone was beautiful without any markings on their faces. After seeing this scene, everyone knew that the Celestial Palace was about to make a comeback. Carlos was very excited and thought that Vanna was a lucky star to bring so many
After reading the letter, Alain trembled in anger, shocked that two of his strongest members would choose to leave the guild at such a critical time. Their departure was no joke. The guild could lose the guild competition at any minute! Dennis and Louis were very strong and could hold down the fort in the competition. With their departure, Alain would have fewer people to count on, and things might end up a mess. He was furious about their abrupt departure. “I need to capture Dennis. How dare he betray us?!” Alain was very upset. As a traitor, Dennis had to be dealt with. The news quickly spread, and many members found out that Dennis had chosen to leave the guild. The other elders also wondered what they should do. They knew that Dennis was a smart man and was good at judging the situation. Choosing to leave was a sign of a change to come. Everyone had their own thoughts and a rough guess about what was going on. Alain's actions not only caused an uproar but also made
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
