Aloysius urged Marcel. He could not wait to leave this dreadful place. “No, I can't leave this place,” Marcel frowned and rejected Aloysius’ request. Philip was surprised. Since this place was so scary, why did he want to stay here? “I have things to do. I’ll leave after I finish them. No one can stop me. On the other hand, you shouldn’t be here. It’s dangerous. You may fall into the hands of those demonic practitioners at any time. Everything will be over if they set their sights on you.” While Marcel spoke, Philip observed the surroundings. At this time, the waiter brought the tea they ordered. The waiter lost his balance when he walked through the door and fell to the floor, spilling the tea in his hand. Everyone was shocked by this scene. Philip and Aloysius sat a distance away, so they were unaffected by the spilled tea. Marcel was different. He sat close to the door, so some of the tea had spilled on him. He frowned at the hot tea. As a normal human, he was mindful
“If you don't want to leave, you should find a place to hide. I’ll look for you once I’m done. These people attacked me when I was at my lowest. I'm enduring the humiliation so that I can seek revenge on them one day. You don't have to worry about the specifics.” Aloysius felt helpless under Marcel’s persuasion and could only nod. The two agreed on a meeting place. “We’ll leave the island now, but you have to promise that you’ll go to that meeting place once you’re done with your tasks!” In the end, Aloysius chose to give in. After chatting for a while, the two went their separate ways. Philip felt a little exasperated at Aloysius’ trust in Marcel. “What do you think of my comrade, Philip? I can’t believe he asked me to leave to prevent us from getting into trouble!” Aloysius was very touched. In fact, he had no intention of leaving. Instead, he was determined to protect Marcel. “Your excitement blinded your eyes just now. Didn't you sense anything wrong?” Philip asked curi
“A heavenly path’s guardian is powerful by nature. Maybe he made this decision to restore his strength back then, but this act is unforgivable!” A true gentleman should do things the proper way. While it was true that a practitioner desired strength, using this method to quickly improve his strength was the wrong thing to do. “Let’s investigate further. I want to know what he’s up to.” Philip and the others quickly found an inn to check-in. Although they were normal humans, the locals were welcoming to outsiders. Many people expressed their concern when they checked into the inn. “As normal humans, why are you choosing to stay here?” “This is no place for normal people. You should leave quickly or it’ll be too late!” All the kind people tentatively advised Philip and Aloysius. Philip smiled and said, “It’s okay. We’re here to look for someone. We’ll leave soon.” Philip’s explanation did not comfort them. They sighed helplessly as if they were worried about such stubbo
“Master, what should we do next? Those two normal humans must be up to something. I’ll kill them if you find them a nuisance!” the other party said coldly with murderous intent in his eyes. As a demonic practitioner, killing two more people made no difference to him. Marcel shook his head. He had a better idea. “Have they left?” Marcel asked. If they had not left, they were asking for it, and they could not blame him for being ruthless. The other party shook his head. “They're just normal humans. How could they escape?” Marcel pondered. “Since they refuse to listen, they can’t blame me for this. Catch them and turn them into puppets. Samael, the plan is very simple. You just need to catch them inconspicuously. They have good physical bodies that are perfect for making puppets.” Marcel's eyes flashed with greed. Aloysius was a heavenly path's guardian, after all—not someone to be underestimated even though he was a normal human now. However, Philip was an enigma. Although
Samael flipped through the record but did not see any information about Philip. “Don’t you have two young men staying here? They're quite good-looking, clearly visitors from other places,” Samael asked, feeling that something was wrong. The innkeeper was startled to hear someone looking for Philip. He could cover up for them if Philip and Aloysius kept a low profile. After all, no one would know the guests staying here. However, this man mentioned them specifically and described their appearances. The innkeeper grimaced. Samael could tell that the innkeeper had deceived him. He sneered, “I’m surprised that you have the guts to deceive me. Don't you know the consequence of messing with me?” Samael glared daggers at the innkeeper. “Since I can't find them, you can pay with your life.” Samael grabbed the innkeeper’s neck, suffocating him. The innkeeper struggled frantically and tried to break free, but he could not move at all. As a normal human, he was no match for Samael
“Why are you here?” Aloysius huffed in annoyance. Samael’s expression was no better. “I’m here to catch you, of course. You should give up.” Samael rushed in, and Philip quickly sent a voice transmission to Aloysius. It was a good opportunity to sneak in. If they were captured, they could enter the other party’s inner circle and maybe find out some secrets. Philip's message was quite effective. Aloysius quickly understood Philip's meaning and remained silent. They were taken away easily, and Philip was filled with anticipation. He wanted to know what they were up to. Samael did not expect to take Philip down so easily. He wondered if they were truly normal people instead of practitioners in disguise. If they were practitioners in disguise, they would have fought back instead of being captured by him so easily. Samael thought he had the cat in the bag. “Hehe, it’s really interesting that I have to deal with two normal humans myself. What do you have that can block my sen
Philip stood on the spot and observed Samael silently. Samael was obviously not very smart and easy to fool. They were quickly taken to the other party’s residence, which looked quite luxurious but creepy. Philip could hardly imagine who would live in such a terrifying place with peace of mind. Marcel had changed his appearance, wearing a bright smile on his face as he stared in their direction. He was quite interested in Aloysius. Similarly, he was curious about Philip, just as Philip was curious about him. In his opinion, Philip was not a simple person. Perhaps he was hiding a lot of secrets. “I didn’t expect to see you guys so soon. I believe you should know what I'm going to do next,” Marcel said with a sinister smile. No one recognized him because he had disguised his appearance—except Philip. He had a powerful Verge Tower on hand that could detect anyone’s true appearance easily. Any superb method the other party used to hide his identity would be useless in front of
Philip nodded, moved by Aloysius’ decision. Although the brotherhood between the two was good, Aloysius was willing to make the right decision for justice in this situation, which was enough to prove that his strength should not be underestimated. Marcel was puzzled by their conversation, wondering what they were talking about. “What are you saying?” Marcel felt unhappy about their disregard for him. He smacked the table angrily, and a wisp of black energy zoomed toward Philip. Philip turned around and dodged the attack as he unleashed his power. “There’s no need for this place to exist anymore, so I’m going to destroy it. Welkin Island is nothing but a disgusting place,” Philip announced calmly. He knew that he had to stop this. Although he was not a saint, he was not a villain who would do things against his conscience either. Since these people were so cruel and terrible, Philip would destroy them if he could. It was nothing worth thinking about. Before Marcel realiz
