More and more people queued up for the test the next day. Among them, a man entered Philip's store and bought the cheapest pill after much deliberation, which cost him three million energy stones. Philip was baffled by this transaction that happened out of the blue because no one else was willing to enter his store other than the old men who were his regular customers. Obviously, someone was trying to tarnish his reputation outside, which was why his business became so bad. When Philip was about to close his business in the afternoon, someone turned up at the door. Some people surrounded Philip’s store in disdain as if they were going to cause trouble. Aslan moved closer. He did not know what they were trying to do, but he sensed their hostility. “Who are you? What are you doing?” Aslan glared at them impatiently. They tossed something at Philip fearlessly. “Something happened to our people after taking your pill! We want an explanation!” Philip frowned when he saw the
The energy stones were marked with the Pill Guild’s logo, so they had to belong to the Pill Guild. In that case, these people had to be from the Pill Guild. Philip smiled without a word. He did not have to waste his effort in investigating the matter now. Everything was right in front of him. The members of other major guilds gathered around. They noticed the conflict and wanted to watch the fun. “I wanted to check out this store today, but I’m surprised to see this scene. Is this store running an illegal business?” “Selling a problematic pill can be quite serious. I’d advise everyone to stay away from this store in case anything happens to you!” The onlookers spoke arrogantly without any consideration for Philip. They just wanted to humiliate Philip. “Who are you? Why do you say that our pills are problematic? Are your pills better?” Aslan retorted. In his opinion, nothing would be better than Philip’s pills. The onlookers reacted with disdain at Aslan’s remarks. “Of c
Philip smiled, waiting for the other party to reveal their ultimate objective. The people from the Pill Guild were taken aback by Philip's indifference. After much deliberation, the first speaker finally decided to extend an invitation to Lyle. “You must be Lyle. As you can see, they're not good people. Why don't you join us? The Pill Guild has a good reputation and will never harm others.” The person from the Pill Guild smiled brightly, trying to use the guild to influence Lyle. “My name is Dwight Canning, and you can call me Dwight. We’ll be a family after you join the guild.” Hearing that, Lyle burst out laughing at that ridiculous remark. “Say, Dwight, you think too highly of yourself. As I said, I won’t join any guilds. I don’t care about your lousy guilds at all, do you understand?” After saying that, Lyle sat on a stool leisurely. Dwight felt very angry at Lyle’s uncaring attitude. He wished he could take this guy to the guild by force. He would have done so if L
Dwight did not realize that Lyle was so powerful. He thought that Lyle was just talented, but he was so strong as well. He might become an official member very quickly if he joined the guild. “Haha, you’re really ignorant. You can enjoy a better life if you join our guild, and you'll have more than what you have here!” Dwight scrambled up miserably, rubbing the sore spot where he was kicked. The pain in his chest where he was kicked just now spread all over his body. He felt like he had been insulted. It was a disgrace that a dignified member of the Pill Guild was humiliated like this. “You've seen my strength. This is just the tip of the iceberg of my teacher’s knowledge. If I can defeat you, it shows that the Pill Guild is full of losers!” Lyle said harshly. Dwight was furious. He wanted to ask someone to attack Lyle but gave up after recalling his strength. In consideration of their strength, it would be embarrassing if they were defeated again. He could not guarantee th
The onlookers were already laughing at Dwight, so he could not embarrass the guild further. He would be punished if the guild found out about his disgrace. Dwight grimaced at the thought of the guild's cruel punishments. When he returned to the guild, Dwight met the first elder who was very anxious to take Lyle under his wing. “How is it? Have you settled the matter? Is the little guy sobbing with happiness?” the first elder asked anxiously. He could already picture the other party’s teacher jumping in rage. Dwight said awkwardly, “First Elder, the outcome is somewhat different from what we imagined.” He scowled in embarrassment at this point. The first elder frowned at Dwight’s reaction. He smacked Dwight to hurry him up. “Tell me what happened. I want to see what those arrogant and domineering guys can do!” The first elder was in charge of recruiting members. He saw Philip’s arrogance and did not have a good impression of him. It would be Philip's fault if anythin
Philip had no idea that Dwight was making up stories in such a dramatic way. “First Elder, I leave this matter to you. I’ll contact some powerful members to take care of that store!” Dwight carried out the task smugly. He had done everything he could. Not only did the first elder not punish him, but Dwight had also shifted the blame on Philip. He believed Philip was doomed. Messing with the first elder was a bad idea. The first elder was notorious for being petty and would do anything to seek revenge. Now that Philip was on the cutting board, Dwight was in a very good mood. He used the first elder’s influence to contact several powerful guild members. Although Dwight could not order them around, no one dared to disobey the first elder. “Camden, I leave this to you. I believe you can take care of them! “With Camden’s help, I believe we can get rid of those arrogant people if we work together!” Dwight tried to flatter everyone. He was not very strong, but he was goo
The leader of the Pill Guild once charged a high price to make some pills for Twine, but his health worsened instead of improving. Thus, Twine had always had a bad impression of the Pill Guild. “That useless guild dares to offend Mr. Clarke!” Twine ordered his contacts not to interfere in this matter, leaving Philip to take care of the Pill Guild. In his opinion, they would die under Philip’s hands. The people in charge of the city received the news and could only turn a blind eye without another word. Dwight marched into the city and saw no city guards stopping him, which proved that the authorities were afraid of him. “Feel free to attack Philip without worries. I think the city guards dislike Philip too, or we wouldn't have been able to enter the city so easily. I was blacklisted before I left!” Dwight thought he would never return, but everything went so smoothly that his ego was inflated. This could only happen when his strength had reached a certain level and the
Very soon, Camden arrived in front of Philip with a disdainful smile on his face, ready to deal with Philip. “This store must belong to you. I don’t think you can keep it running for long. Why don't you stop making a fuss and hand over all your stuff quietly? If you beg for mercy on your knees right now, maybe I can consider giving you a chance. If you dare to resist, don’t blame me.” Camden was very arrogant and did not take Philip seriously at all. He was ready to find fault with Philip. “Cut the crap and do whatever you need to do!” Philip was very annoyed by these noisy people. Since they wanted to deal with him, they should cut to the chase without going through all the trouble. Seeing Philip’s arrogance, Camden sprang into action without further ado. With his ability, he could take care of Philip in no time. Camden raised his hand to summon a bolt of lightning and launched it at Philip, clearly trying to kill Philip. The onlookers were terrified by this sudden attac
“You’re right. The mermaid is such a mysterious creature. How can anyone cure its poison?” Stanley smiled wryly, feeling sorry for himself. “Philip, you have to find a way to save my father. I’ll do anything for you if you can save him!” Yule grabbed Philip’s shoulders with agitation. He begged Philip and almost knelt at his feet. In Yule's opinion, Philip was an omnipotent and powerful existence. There was nothing he could not do. Likewise, Aslan and the others shared the same thought. Therefore, they were surprised when Philip said that he could not save Stanley. Philip sighed. In the past, he had been to places of a lower civilization where the natives were not very strong. He could do whatever he wanted and no one could do much to him even if they wanted to. However, Philip was not familiar with places of a higher civilization. Even Rabbit only knew a little and was hesitant to speak. Hence, Philip was not confident he could save Stanley. “Maybe that creature came fro
“Let’s stop making wild guesses and wait for Yule's father to explain. This creature doesn’t belong to this continent, so no one knows what’s going on.” Philip reached out and gently touched the scales in amazement. He felt that something was wrong with this mermaid. With that touch, he found that the mermaid’s scales were better than those of a dragon. Philip once found a dragon scale by chance, but the dragon scale was not as tough as the mermaid's scales. Moreover, the mermaid's scales could change into various shapes, which was amazing. “If the scales are used to make a weapon, it’ll definitely be the best treasure. Not only can it attack and defend, but also…” Before Philip could finish his words, he heard Yule's father coughing violently. He seemed in pretty bad shape. “Rascal, go and look at the fish. She’s not an ordinary fish but a mermaid I found by chance! According to ancient records, there are many similar creatures in the world of the gods, and they're a force
Almost everyone knew about the condition of Yule's father, and most of them were there to watch the fun. When Yule and the others appeared, some people could not wait to start taunting him. “Oh, you’re such a good son. Your father is already in this state, but you’re still in the mood to fool around outside. You should start preparing for your father’s wake!” “The miracle doctor has given a diagnosis, saying that your father has only a few more days to live. Stop wasting time and start preparing for the funeral!” Everyone mocked Yule, who was respected simply because of his father’s position. Now that Yule's father was dying, no one wanted to show him that respect anymore. Some people even planned to steal things from Yule’s house! With no one else to back him up, everyone thought that Yule did not deserve to stay in that luxurious house anymore. Hearing everyone’s taunts, Yule was so angry that he trembled all over, but now was no time to argue. He had to find out his fath
Very soon, everyone left the King’s Ruins. Philip had taken care of the danger, so they just had to collect the treasures. Yule and his team were grateful to Philip and flattered him along the way. After all, they would not have been able to leave the place alive so easily if not for Philip. The King’s Ruins were still dangerous even though they did not face any monsters head-on. They knew they managed to avoid most dangers because of Philip. At this moment, Yule’s communicator vibrated. Only his close family members had his contact, so Yule immediately felt a bad premonition. He walked to the corner with the communicator and spoke anxiously. It seemed that he had encountered some big trouble. Philip waited for Yule to return to the team without a word. Ten minutes later, Yule returned to the team. He looked very depressed as if he had encountered a big problem. Philip noticed his reaction but did not take the initiative to approach him. He knew that Yule would approach h
“Philip, look, I solved half the problem for you. The rest is up to you.” After saying this, Yule laughed triumphantly, blatantly disregarding Mason’s cold glare. Mason frowned and looked at Philip with apprehension. He could not verify Philip’s story, but if Philip was telling the truth, he would have lost the bet again. “Get out of our sight. We've wasted a lot of time because of you. Don't blame us for attacking you if you stay here any longer!” Aslan had a hot temper and kicked Mason when he noticed Mason's hesitance. Mason fell to the ground miserably and looked at Philip with murderous intent. “Let’s go and stop wasting our time here!” After saying this, Mason took the lead and ran away, unwilling to stay here a second longer. Philip’s strong power deterred him greatly, and Philip was not afraid of Sienna at all, which crushed Mason’s final confidence. Mason was best at using other people’s influence, but it was on the premise that others were willing to bow down to
Mason frowned at Aslan but did not respond. Philip said, “This guy has become Sienna’s underling. He’s here to find the Binary Herb for Sienna, which coincides with our purpose. Now, he wants me to hand it over or he’ll ask Sienna to kill me. I’m very scared,” Philip said sarcastically and could hardly contain his laughter. Hearing that, everyone was startled before bursting into laughter. They had been with Philip through thick and thin, so they knew who Sienna was. “No way, this guy is using Sienna to threaten Philip. Is he kidding?” “I’m sure he’ll be scared out of his wits if he finds out what really happened. This is ridiculous.” Philip’s men scoffed at Mason’s arrogance. Yule’s men were puzzled, wondering what was going on. “Before this, Philip almost killed a snake monster named Sienna. Unexpectedly, the snake monster escaped and found herself a human servant. On top of that, this human servant thinks so highly of himself as if he's very proud of his identity.” L
“Go and grab that thing for me. We have to get hold of it! Don’t let that guy steal our treasure. And remember to find the thing I want!” Mason ordered his men in a panic. Mason was startled by Philip’s speed of collecting things. Everyone quickly sprang into action. They were not fools. They would be penalized if they did not get things done. They raced against time to grab the treasures from Philip, but Philip was unfazed. He knew that all the treasures would fall into his hands in the end. Besides, the piles of treasures simply contained some pills and other stuff, nothing much. “Sir, we didn’t find the Binary Herb.” At this time, someone stepped forward to report their findings. Everyone was anxious when they realized they could not find the most important Binary Herb. Mason scowled at the bad news. “Impossible. The Binary Herb must be around somewhere.” The location of the Binary Herb was marked on his map. It had to be nearby. Mason looked around with the map
“Of course, an ignorant guy like you wouldn’t know what’s going on. This place is full of danger and had a powerful monster as a guardian. You don’t know anything because you’re unworthy.” Mason jerked his chin smugly, clearly proud that he knew some inside information. “If you beg me, I’ll consider going with you to deal with this monster.” In Mason’s opinion, Philip was no match for this monster. The bloodstains had to be from some weak monsters killed by Philip. According to his understanding, the legendary guardian snake monster was very powerful, not something ordinary people could deal with. “Don't you know why you’re here?” Philip said smugly. He knew that Mason was nothing but a pawn. Philip had seen through everything and was full of scorn for Mason’s nature. Mason was horrified that Philip knew him so well. “How did you know? I've been keeping this secret very well. No one should know about it. Did that snake woman tell you? That's impossible. She hates you very
Seeing this scene, Rabbit applauded excitedly. “You must be dreaming if you think you can fight Philip!” Rabbit said excitedly. Philip quickly killed the snake. He was surprised to find that the snake only had half of its body. He thought half of the snake was trapped in the stone, but it only had half a body left. “Did it grow from the stone?” Rabbit was shocked, wondering what was going on. “Something is wrong with this monster beast. It’s actually growing from the stone. How strange!” Philip was surprised by the strange discovery. “Indeed. It looks very strange, not like a good guy at all.” Rabbit was horrified and felt that the snake was more than met the eye. “Philip, look at this. Is it a description of this monster beast?” Rabbit looked at a huge stone tablet on the side in puzzlement. “Philip, look, I think this snake has something to do with that snake woman!” Rabbit was surprised to see what was written on the stone tablet and pulled Philip over for a look. The
