“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
“How did you discover my true identity? My mask has a powerful concealing effect. Normal people can't discover it at all!” Marcel never made a move as he subconsciously thought that Aloysius was just an ordinary human and maybe Aloysius found a good henchman by chance. He never thought that Aloysius had chosen to submit to Philip. “You have a habit of touching your nose when you talk, and you display some obvious body language from time to time. Only long-term friends like us can notice each other's actions.” They had worked together for many years, so they knew each other very well. He never thought that Marcel would be exposed by such a minor detail today. “Hehe, you’re quite smart, but so what? Things have progressed to this point. Do you think we can return to the past? I can tell you more. I was the one who destroyed Heavenly Path's Carrefour!” Everyone was surprised to hear that. Philip was shocked by his boldness in admitting everything openly. “I knew it was relat
Marcel never thought they would have such a powerful treasure. He was so scared that he knelt and begged for mercy, but no one paid him any attention. Samael was dumbfounded to see a weapon that was specifically used to deal with them. He was more surprised to see Marcel being taken down so easily. He had always thought that his master was powerful and invincible. He used to be a powerful existence back then, but he encountered a misfortune later and ended up in this state. Marcel took him in, cured all his injuries, and imparted some powerful techniques to save his life. Since then, Samael had been loyal to Marcel and never thought of betraying him. That was the reason Marcel proposed to disguise his identity, and Samael would agree to Marcel’s every request. It was simply unacceptable for such an invincible and supreme being in his heart to be defeated so easily. “Impossible! My master is an invincible God of War. How could he lose to you guys?” Samael felt that his worldvi
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
