The villagers finally found out the secrets she had been hiding. Abell was surprised to hear this. He had guessed something but never knew the extent of the secret. He never thought that his mother would kill someone else's mother! He loved his mother very much, so he could imagine the pain of losing her. Abell understood Neon and Nero now. This incident was clearly Julie's fault. Their father had offered to accept Julie and promised her various benefits. They could have lived happily ever after. However, Julie not only turned the offer down, but she also killed his first wife. No one could tolerate this behavior. It was common for people in this world to have several wives, so no one thought Julie should be ashamed of it. On the contrary, she should be proud to marry a famous noble in Imperial City. However, Abell could not condone the other party's actions because they wanted to take his mother away from him, so he saw everyone as his enemy. “This matter is between t
Neon and the others marched forward with Philip. They knew that Philip was trying to get more benefits for them. It was difficult to fight these people by force. It would be best if they could negotiate with the first elder to let them take Julie away. The first elder quickly invited Philip to the reception room and ordered someone to serve tea. The tea was freshly brewed in front of everyone to avoid any suspicion. “Here, no need to be polite. Have some tea,” the first elder said with a bright smile. Neon glanced at Philip, doubtful if they should drink the tea. Philip signaled to Aslan with his eyes. Aslan distributed some pills to everyone. Neon and Nero looked at each other after getting a pill each. They knew that this pill could neutralize poison. The two of them swallowed the pill without hesitation and pretended to drink the tea. Philip took a big gulp of tea and seemed quite pleased. He then put the teacup on the table after taking a sip of tea. “What shoul
Nero was very firm about it. He had always disliked this type of negotiation. Nero was not a powerful practitioner but a shrewd businessman. This exchange was clearly unequal. They were here for revenge, not treasures. “Are you saying that this deal is off?” the first elder said unhappily. He was surprised that Nero would choose to disregard him. Although the first elder knew that there was indeed nothing of value in Julie's home and that this deal was somewhat unfair, the other party should not turn down his proposal. “That's right, we won't make this deal with you. Just do whatever you want now,” Neon said viciously. At the same time, he glanced at Philip, trying to gauge his reaction. Philip looked indifferent, seemingly uninterested in this matter. The first elder smacked the table in anger and stood up. He glared at Neon and said, “If you dare to disobey me again, I’ll teach you a good lesson!” The first elder threatened everyone smugly, “Haven't you noticed anythi
This situation had never happened before, and the first elder was dumbfounded. At this moment, Philip patted Neon and Nero on the shoulders, and they spat several bugs from their mouths. The bugs had lost the protection of the water and revealed their true colors. The first elder was dumbfounded to see how easily Philip forced out the bugs he had raised. As their master, he knew how powerful the bugs were. They would burrow deep into a person's body upon entry. It was almost impossible for a practitioner to force them out no matter how powerful they were. However, Philip did it so easily. The first elder could not even imagine how strong Philip was. He was not to be underestimated! The first elder panicked after his plans were ruined one after another. He wondered if he could resist if Philip attacked him. “These bugs should be yours.” Philip grabbed the bugs in disgust. The bugs were struggling to escape Philip’s clutches. The first elder opened his mouth to summon
“First Elder, you don’t have to do this. So what if this guy is powerful? We’ll only suffer a backlash if our bugs are attacked!” the second elder roared in grief. He was shocked that the other party tortured the first elder to that extent. Seeing the other party’s doubts, Philip took out a small sachet from his pocket. It contained a powder that attracted bugs. Philip placed the sachet in a large bowl and sat down, looking at the first elder who was kneeling on the floor. Everyone was curious and wondered what Philip was up to, including Aslan. However, they watched without a word. The first elder was very worried. He knew that whatever this was, it was definitely not a good thing. The second elder and the others quickly showed a look of horror. They realized that their bugs were quickly crawling to the bowl and felt as if they were out of control. The sachet attracted the bugs so much that they had to go to the bowl no matter what. This not only affected the people
The villagers complained, resenting Julie very much. Julie and her family members stood aside in embarrassment, shocked by Philip’s actions. Everyone’s lives were in his hands now. It would be over if he did anything. Abell scowled as he looked at his mother, at a loss for words. It was clearly his mother’s fault, but the whole village had to pay for it. “I did just want to take Julie away, but your first elder tried to sneak attack us. It’s not our fault that things reached this point,” Philip said regretfully as if he was surprised by this progress too. “We said right from the start that we were here for Julie. If you hadn’t done anything, maybe we would've left already.” After saying this, Philip shrugged helplessly and grabbed a handful of bugs from the bowl. Seeing this scene, everyone wailed and begged Philip to spare them. Some people rushed over and grabbed Julie, who was already half-dead at this point. They tied her up and threw her in front of Philip. “This
Maybe the villagers were used to this shabby environment, so they thought nothing of it, but not Philip and the others. People who were used to living in big cities would never accept such inferior living conditions. “Philip, that stalker is still on our tail. I’m surprised he followed us all the way so persistently,” Aslan said. They had increased their pace but could not get rid of Abell. After all, they were dragged down by Julie. “If he doesn't do anything, just ignore him. Let’s have some fun in South City,” Philip replied. They still had to return to Imperial City and hand Julie over to Mr. Bell Senior. Now that most of Julie's bugs had been destroyed, she was on the verge of dying. All the poisonous bugs that were harmful to humans had also been mutilated and could no longer pose a threat. Neon and Nero were interested in exploring this new place. “Philip, we have to trouble you to set up a barrier around this place so that we can go out without worries,” Neon
After struggling for half an hour, Abell finally gave up and sat on the floor miserably. Julie sobbed at this scene. After wandering around for a while, Philip and the others returned to the inn loaded with armfuls of shopping bags. As soon as they entered, they saw Abell passed out on the floor from exhaustion. Abell looked very pitiful as if he had done something earlier and exhausted all his energy. Julie leaned on the side at a loss. Philip smiled and shook his head. “Your son is right outside. Why don’t you go to him?” Philip said mockingly. Julie looked up at Philip upon hearing that. Although the man in front of her looked very young, he could not be underestimated. “Who are you? How did you restrain us?” Julie was baffled. The man in front of her seemed to possess some mysterious magical power that could totally curb their village’s power. Philip ignored Julie but took Abell into the room. Julie realized that the barrier had been lifted then. She had to
“This tea is simply amazing. I’m surprised that Philip is lucky enough to find this treasure!” “By the way, why is Philip alone? Where's that rabbit?” Everyone looked around but saw no signs of the rabbit and had to give up. In the end, only a mouthful of tea was left in the pot. After much deliberation, they decided to give it to the patriarch. After all, it was a rare treasure! They quickly tied Philip up. Once Philip lost his freedom, they had nothing to worry about. They wanted to take credit for their finding and let the family know about this rare treasure.… Meanwhile, Cameron was in his room, thinking about how to carry out the competition. He had just finished talking with Ronan and was in a good mood. He was surprised by Ronan’s attitude. Ronan did not hold a grudge against them and desperately wanted to join their family, which was simply too good to be true. More importantly, Ronan was strong enough to win the competition for them. Cameron did not care whet
At this moment, Philip noticed something unusual and realized that someone had sneaked into his yard. He was amused that someone dared to mess with him. “Surround this area while I poison him. After he’s dead, don’t forget to bring the rabbit along with us. It’s best if we can figure out the rabbit’s secret. If not, just silence the rabbit too!” The person taking the lead explained the plan. He was none other than Sadie’s husband. For the sake of his position in the family and his son, he had to take the risk. Philip was enjoying his premium spiritual tea, and that fragrance could not be concealed at all. Very soon, the intruders smelled the fragrance and followed their noses to find the source. “Do you smell something fragrant? I feel that my strength has improved after a whiff of this smell!” “I feel refreshed with just one whiff as if my ailment has been relieved. That ailment has been bothering me for years. This is amazing!” Everyone was excited as they tracked the s
Cameron never thought that he would lose to a rabbit in an argument. After a brief silence, he finally decided to ignore the matter for the time being. Since the treasures were in Rabbit’s hands, he had to talk to Ronan about the competition. “Ronan, come with me. I want to tell you about the competition. Your friend can stay. We’ll treat him with the utmost courtesy!” Cameron invited Ronan kindly while signaling to everyone. As long as Ronan was not around, they could attack and even kill Philip on the spot. Philip would be useless once they figured out Rabbit’s secret. If Ronan asked, they could say that Philip decided to leave. Anyway, they had all sorts of excuses to take care of this. Ronan glanced at Philip and walked to the conference hall. Ronan knew that he had to deal with these people himself. Philip was only here to give him courage. Philip gave him a reassuring look and returned to the house. He was interested in the competition, so he wanted to figure out
“Are you talking about this rabbit? He’s not my pet. He belongs to my friend.” Ronan shrugged. He wanted such a pet, but he was not good enough. Hearing that, Cameron's face turned pale. Although the rabbit was an additional benefit, he never thought that he would fail to get it. Cameron glared at Philip. He did not have a good impression of Philip. Philip looked like a troublemaker. He suspected that Philip had influenced Ronan into making things difficult for them. Cameron wanted to drive Philip away, but Ronan abruptly said that this matter was related to Philip. Before he could weigh the pros and cons, Cameron decided to hide his emotions. At least, he could not reveal his dislike for Philip. “I see. Your friend seems like a casual practitioner. Why don't he consider joining our family? For your sake, I can give him the same treatment and allow the two of you to take part in the competition as representatives of the family. I believe you’ll do your best and won’t let me
At this time, Rabbit hopped to Philip's side. “Philip, I was out for a walk yesterday and heard some rumors. They’ll be holding a competition among the humans soon, and all major families and forces will send some contestants for the fight. “Either a family or a force that is in charge of an area can join the competition. I heard that the Claude family is taking part.” Hearing this, and combined with their reaction, Philip guessed something. They probably wanted to trick Ronan into participating in the competition, which was why they were approaching him so enthusiastically. “There’s more.” Rabbit smiled and leaned forward, clearly asking for a beating. Philip saw Rabbit’s reaction and hit his face. “Just spit it out. Stop messing around!” Rabbit chuckled and said, “I heard that the Claude family is negotiating a business deal, and the prerequisite is that Ronan must participate in the competition and win first place. Although I don't know why, that’s the only condition the
Everyone was dumbfounded. No one thought that Ronan would take action without paying any heed to them. Cameron panicked and ordered his men to stop Ronan, “Guards, take action! You have to stop Ronan!” His face turned pale, and he wished that the guards could kill Ronan. However, he suddenly remembered the deal between the businessman and himself. “Wait, don’t kill him. I want him alive. I need him for something important!” Cameron shouted nervously as if he was sure that his guards would defeat Ronan. Other than the guards, other family members also stepped forward. They wanted to show off their strength. Seeing this, Philip waved to Ronan. He would take action if required. Ronan waved his hand indifferently in response. He did not need Philip’s help for now. He was strong enough to take care of it. At this time, Rabbit appeared drowsily. Rabbit led a carefree life, and Philip always let him be, so he was an idle rabbit. After Cameron and the others saw Rabbit, their e
Ronan became more confident after the chat with Philip. If anyone dared to mess with him, he would not hesitate to teach them a good lesson. Cameron looked around but did not see Rabbit. He was worried but went straight to the point. “My child, after all these years, have you finally decided to return to the family?” Cameron smiled as he attempted the emotional approach as if Ronan had lived outside over the years because of his own decision. Hearing that, Ronan coughed and nearly threw up. Cameron was really good at blaming him. “What do you mean? Did I ask you to kick me out of the house?” Ronan's eyes flashed with anger. As a weak and powerless child back then, he was kicked out of the house right after his mother’s death. That feeling was really humiliating. All his grievances over the years exploded at this point. He could not tolerate these hypocritical people anymore. Cameron noticed Ronan’s reaction and knew that it was bad. This matter was out of his control. Ronan
“Since you've accepted my things, you should…” Cameron rubbed his hands excitedly, looking at Rabbit smugly and expectantly. His men looked at Rabbit in delight. It would be great if they could get storage space. Rabbit shook his head in disdain. “What are you thinking? Do you think you’re worthy of me? You don’t even have a measly storage space. Who are you to bargain with me?” Rabbit kicked the nearest person away. “Don’t bother me again or that’ll be your outcome!” He hopped back into the house. He was not afraid that they would mess with him. Cameron was shocked that Rabbit would go back on his word after taking their things. He was furious. Those were the treasures of the family. It would be a disaster if they lost them. However, it was clearly not the right time to dwell on it. Cameron decided to talk to Rabbit again tomorrow. He had to talk to Ronan anyway. It would be best if he could fool them. “Let’s get some rest for the night and talk about it tomorrow morning
Cameron persuaded Rabbit excitedly. In his opinion, he was halfway to success. Rabbit nodded. “Give me what you have for now. At least show me your sincerity. You should know that the guy inside offered me a high price!” Rabbit fooled Cameron. He wanted to know what Cameron could come up with. Just crystals alone would be a letdown. Hearing that, Cameron waved to his men, signaling them to take out all the good things from the warehouse, at least to fool Rabbit for the time being. His men reluctantly went to the warehouse and took out all the treasures they had collected. Anyway, it was just for show and would not really be given to the rabbit, so they did not object. It would be a great deal if these treasures could attract a guardian beast. Rabbit nodded with satisfaction at these things. He waved his hand, and everything vanished from those people’s hands. Everyone was shocked and wondered what was going on. There was no such thing as storage space in this world. They ha
