Steve was unlikely to lie about this. Moreover, he had been severely humiliated earlier, so he had no reason to give up pursuit. Based on Steve’s character and temper, he should have gone all out to join forces with other guilds to seek revenge. However, reality proved otherwise. His actions spoke a million words. Although Steve was useless in practice, Ted had to give credit to his brain. “What should we do next? We've offended him quite badly this time. If we don’t prepare generous gifts to show our remorse, he’ll never forgive us.” Ted did not know what to do. He was a failure when it came to interpersonal relationships. “What else can we do? Kill Camden and Dwight and send their heads to Philip as an apology. We need to offer the treasures we've collected too!” Steve decided to go all out. After all, he had collected a lot of good things over the years. It was less embarrassing to offer these things, and they might catch Philip's eye. Ted scowled. He had collected man
Rusty smacked the table after saying that, ending the discussion. Seeing this scene, Ted waved his hand. “Hey, I don’t mean that. I want to tell you that I recently learned a secret…” Ted excitedly told Rusty about the secret he learned from Steve. Ted was all fired up at the thought of becoming a candidate for the heavenly path. The two quickly discussed it seriously. Rusty longed for it too. After all, no one would be uninterested in the so-called Heavenly Path’s Carrefour. Philip had no idea that the matter would turn out this way. He simply wanted to bluff Steve. That guy seemed silly and easy to deceive. Soon, Steve prepared a lot of treasures and went to Philip’s store again. He wanted to try his best to please Philip. These were the treasures that he obtained from various places with great difficulty over half his life. He felt the pinch at the thought of giving them away. Lyle saw Steve approaching with things in his hands from a distance and was surprised
Lyle knew that Steve’s sudden change of attitude was due to their strength. They would have been in deep trouble if they were just ordinary people. Therefore, Lyle did not take Steve seriously. He simply sighed and watched as Steve walked away. “This person is annoying and pathetic. There’s nothing wrong with pursuing strength, but his problem is being too arrogant and domineering.” Steve quickly found Philip. He knelt in front of him with a thud and a heartbroken expression on his face. Philip was puzzled by this scene and was weirded out by Steve’s dramatic gesture. However, he simply took a sip of tea and stared at Steve indifferently without a word. “Everything was my fault, so I sincerely want to apologize to you. I hope you can forgive me for what I did. Please accept these gifts as my apology!” Steve offered the gifts he prepared. He had given all his prized possessions to Philip. It would be heartbreaking if Philip refused to forgive him. “I see your sincerity.”
In a nutshell, Nimbus Mountain was an extremely dangerous place not accessible to ordinary practitioners. However, Philip was different. As the heavenly path’s successor, maybe he could go down the mountain to explore. Steve could take this opportunity to learn something about the foot of Nimbus Mountain. “Nimbus Mountain is a terrifying place that no one can reach. It’s rumored to contain various treasures, similar to the legendary Heavenly Path’s Carrefour. However, the Heavenly Path’s Carrefour is not open all the time. Unlucky people might end up dead after jumping off the cliff. “Since you’re connected to the heavenly path, maybe you can enter it?” Over the lengthy chat, Philip learned a lot about Nimbus Mountain and was curious about it. Since there was no way to jump off the cliff, maybe he could use a beast mount to fly down. Philip was excited at this idea. He finally found a clue to the Heavenly Path’s Carrefour. He had to take a look no matter what. Even if the
In that case, Steve should make the news public in advance so that everyone would know about the cliff and maybe someone would commend him for it. Thinking of this, he quickly gathered the elders. The other elders had heard about it from Ted and gathered together at Steve’s call. They knew that Steve was ready to reveal his secrets. “I’m sure everyone has heard about the foot of Nimbus Mountain. It may be the Heavenly Path’s Carrefour, but we can't reach that place with our strength.” Steve was interrupted before he finished speaking. Ted did not think there was anywhere he could not go, so he was full of disdain. “Why can't we go there? Although the death rate in that place is very high, I have confidence in my strength.” He glanced at Steve provocatively. “Why didn't you tell me about this earlier? In the past, I would've never explored Nimbus Mountain as there was no reason to, but it’s different now. I need to understand everything related to the Heavenly Path’s Car
To Philip, a swarm of giant salamanders was no big deal. In fact, they were useless to a certain extent. Philip ruthlessly blocked their sneak attacks and easily dealt with them. It proved that the strength of these amphibians was not equal to their ambitions. After absorbing the beasts’ energy, Philip felt that his strength had returned to its peak. He could kill these creatures effortlessly now. The further he went, the more Philip felt something was wrong. He felt a powerful pressure approaching, and it gave him a bad feeling. The further he walked, the more he felt as if something was trying to break out of his body. It was as if a powerful force was attracting him. Philip took a few steps forward and saw a huge skeleton in front of him. The skeleton looked like the corpse of a beast. Philip could not tell what it was, but he was scared. It was more than a hundred meters tall and almost reached the sky. Philip felt very insignificant in front of it, which sent chills
The King of Beasts might be aware of this so it sent the giant salamanders to attack Philip and lead him to the path of no return. It never thought that Philip would not be affected at all. These little tricks meant nothing to Philip. Philip crushed the skeleton and found more than a dozen pink crystals. He gave everything to Verge Tower and left happily. He gained a lot, but the giant salamanders never appeared again, probably all wiped out by Philip. Since it was getting late, Philip found a safe spot to camp. He lit a fire and roasted a piece of beast meat. He could not take salamander meat. The creature was ugly and pitch-black, and the meat did not taste very good. As Philip was getting bored, Rabbit jumped out of his pocket. Rabbit had always been with Philip, but it had been sleeping in Philip's pocket without making an appearance. As Philip started grilling meat, Rabbit popped out when it smelled the fragrance. “Hehe, your cooking skills are really good, P
Suddenly, a biting chill washed over him. Philip frowned and immediately went on high alert. “What the hell is trying to mess with me now?” Philip took out his weapon and slashed with all his might in the direction where the attack came from. The next moment, he heard a strange scream. He backed away while evading the unknown dangers. Although he felt that these dangers posed no threat to him, he did not want to be injured for no reason. Philip’s energy circulated in his body and quickly got rid of the biting chill. At this time, Philip saw many toads lurking next to the underground river. These toads were different from the ones he had seen before. They were white and could spurt icy-cold swords from their mouths from time to time! It proved that these creatures attacked him just now. After attacking Philip, they quickly changed positions and hid behind the rocks. They should be quite adept at sneak attacks. Philip could not name many of the creatures in this world and c
Anyone with any ideas could only shake their heads helplessly after hearing Philip’s remarks. At the same time, they were amazed by the ring’s function. “Wow, that’s great. The person who made this thing must be a genius!” Cameron clapped his hands excitedly. Of course, he was worried that someone would steal his treasure. After all, owning a treasure was a sin in itself. It was inevitable for others to covet his treasure. It would be bad if they attacked him because of greed. With Philip’s explanation, his trouble would be reduced. “That sounds amazing.” The patriarch of the Lamy family seemed dissatisfied. He had some crooked thoughts too. With their family’s financial resources, they could not buy so many rings, so he planned to steal the other two as well. He was not that stupid to steal from Philip, so he could only set his sights on the other major families. Everyone wanted the rings anyway. As long as he refused to admit it, no one would know that he was guilty.
It was too much to use half of the family's assets and properties in exchange for one storage space. “Are you sure about this? Do you know how much that would cost?” “The Lamy family must be crazy to go all out for this treasure!” Everyone complained helplessly. They might be in trouble if the Lamy family insisted on doing it this way. “I know you guys can’t afford it, so stop wasting your time. The Lamy family has made an offer. If you can up the price, go ahead. Don’t stop us from buying that treasure!” the patriarch of the Lamy family said smugly. He felt that his offer was high enough and no one could afford it, so this thing would definitely belong to him. Even Ronan was surprised by this development. He had heard of the Lamy family before. Ronan had worked for the Lamy family before, but their attitude toward him was the same as that of other families—indifferent and disdainful. Therefore, Ronan had the same bad impression about everyone. The Lamy family was not
Rather than saying that they were unwilling to believe it, it was more likely that they did not dare to believe it. Ronan calmly put the ring aside. “I'm wearing a ring that looks better than the ones you're about to get. Watch this.” After saying that, Ronan demonstrated to everyone what a real storage space could do. Anything he took in his hand vanished and appeared at will, which looked simply amazing. Everyone was jealous at this scene. They stared at Ronan’s hands nervously, trying to see if he was performing a magic trick or showing off the storage ring. After Ronan's many demonstrations, they finally confirmed that Ronan was not lying. Everything was true. Everyone exclaimed in amazement. “Wow, I can’t believe that I really saw a storage space in action!” “It’s amazing!” “I have to get hold of one!” Although Sadie had been dealt a heavy blow, she hid in a corner and observed the situation instead of leaving. She wanted to see how things would develop. When S
“Heh, look at those crazy family patriarchs. They can't wait to suck up to Ronan! Do you think they’ll question the Claude family after hearing about the storage space? They’ll only turn up in person to find out about it! “With so many of them putting pressure on us, what do you think we can do? Now, we may not even get that amazing storage space because there are too many people competing with us!” Cameron was furious and almost passed out in anger because of this stupid woman. Sadie scowled at the yard in disbelief as she realized that the crowd causing the commotion was the patriarchs of the other major families. She thought that they were servants sent by the families, but everything was different from what she imagined. “How did this happen? I planned everything perfectly. We just need to throw the wool over their eyes. Things shouldn't have turned out like this!” Sadie almost had a mental breakdown at this bad news. “No way. This is impossible…” Seeing the family
“Forget it. I won't talk to you anymore. I want to claim the credit for what I’ve done!” Sadie quickly turned and left. The butler wanted to stop her, but she vanished before he could say anything. In the end, he remained silent. “The plan really backfired on her. Unfortunately, she can only blame it on her bad luck.” The butler knew the situation the family was facing now. Their residence would probably be turned upside down. The Claude family could have owned a storage space, but everything was ruined now. Not only would they fail to get one, but others would also humiliate them! Sadie quickly arrived at the yard and rolled her eyes at the crowd. “Dad, over here!” Sadie beckoned her father excitedly as if she had great news for him. Cameron was very anxious at this point and wished he could find a solution. When Sadie called him, he thought his solution had appeared. He rushed over and looked at Sadie curiously. “What’s up? Is there any good news?” He was very excited
Everyone was excited to hear that Ronan had those legendary items. It was great. “Our family has to get one!” The patriarch of the Lamy family was the most excited. The members of this family had always been strong-headed and were determined to get it. The other families were unhappy to hear that. They were not that bad either, so they were annoyed by that high-handed remark. “All the major families are powerful in our own rights. I think there’s no need to conclude so quickly.” “I agree. I’m afraid you’ll hide and cry if you fail to get one. That'll be embarrassing.” “Even the major families are not confident about this. Who do you think you are to get it?” Everyone targeted the swell-headed Lamy family even though they were indeed big and powerful enough to steal the treasure from them. The Claude family was the most excited yet regretful. Instead of feeling happy that the families were bickering with each other, they were worried. Although the families were fighting
Besides, Philip mentioned that he would help Ronan make a name for himself. The storage rings that Philip provided were quite meager, with only 30 to 70 cubic feet of storage space each. However, that did not stop Ronan from admiring Philip. He knew that Philip had various treasures, but he was willing to share them with Ronan, which was too generous for words. To prevent Ronan from getting the short end of the stick, Philip also provided some common things for doing business. Due to this, Ronan wanted to serve Philip. In their world, the best way to express gratitude was to acknowledge the other party as their master. It was not only to seize the opportunity but also to find a good roof over their head. Thinking of this, Ronan did not dare to call Philip his brother anymore. Ronan decided to approach Philip at night and find a way to acknowledge him as his master so that he could serve Philip wholeheartedly. Philip had no idea about Ronan’s thoughts. He was still think
Everything Rabbit owned, including the storage space and various treasures, was given by Philip. So, Rabbit could come up with some amazing things for these people to please him. Rabbit felt very proud of this accomplishment. “Ahem, everyone, follow me! I know you’re eager to see Philip, but you have to follow the rules. Don't be as rude as the Claude family!” Rabbit said calmly. He was very unhappy with the Claude family. Hearing that, members of the Claude family were livid. They were shocked by Rabbit's words. He was deliberately putting them down! Those remarks were likely to affect their status among the major families. That off-handed tone might cause other major families to reject them. “I’m surprised that this family would be so arrogant and disrespect you!” “How could they treat that precious storage space so carelessly? I say, those people are too bold to disregard such a valuable treasure!” “This family is stupid and arrogant. Let's ignore them to avoid any ass
However, Cameron and his people were arrogant enough to lock Philip up. How dare they?! “Cameron, you went too far!” “I never knew that the Claude family were such people. I really misjudged you before. You’re really too much for treating such an amazing person that way.” Everyone pretended to be angry and kept speaking up for Philip, trying to please Rabbit and indirectly please Philip. Cameron was startled by Rabbit’s words, which easily landed him in trouble. “No, that's not exactly the case. I didn't lock Philip up but gave him a place to stay. How would I dare to lock up such a powerful person? You really think too highly of me.” However, Cameron’s explanation was useless. Everyone believed that Cameron locked Philip up on purpose, so they wanted to get him into trouble. Whether Cameron locked Philip up or treated Philip as a valuable guest, they wanted to ruin Cameron’s reputation. Once they got rid of Cameron, they could focus on pleasing Philip. “You must be
