Steve wanted to take this opportunity to join Philip, but Philip seemed reluctant to take him in. “Bring Ted to me and I’ll take care of him for you, but you need to do something for me.” Philip knew he could not rebuild Heavenly Path's Carrefour single-handedly. He needed help. Steve nodded. He knew what he should do. “Don’t worry, I’ll do my best to get it done. This was my mistake. I should make amends.” Philip smiled at Steve’s awareness. “I want to look at your treasure vault. Is that okay? Don’t worry, I’ll just take a look without doing anything. I’m not interested in your treasures anyway.” Steve was a little worried, but he quickly calmed down. There was nothing to worry about. “You have a point. I don’t think we have anything worth your attention.” Steve quickly agreed to Philip's request and sneaked into the treasure vault with Philip. Philip brought Aloysius with him too. He needed Aloysius to identify if there was anything they needed. Steve often vis
Aloysius took the things nervously and felt that they should not be doing this. Philip rolled his eyes upon hearing that. He did not think there was anything wrong in doing this. On the contrary, he thought he was too kind. “What’s wrong with this? I gave him a pill.” Aloysius nodded. Philip had a point. They had used a pill in exchange for this. The pill that Steve had taken was indeed worth the treasures here. “This guild has been taken over by the demonic path. Since they’ll suffer from now on, we might as well take these things rather than leave them for others.” Philip searched as he walked around. In the meantime, Ted returned to the guild. He did not forget that Steve had escaped, and he wanted to lure the other guild members into becoming Samael’s nourishment. He was afraid that Steve would return to the guild before him and expose this incident, making it difficult for Ted to take action by then.… “Look, the first elder is back. We can hear from him all about
Steve had sneaked back from Heavenly Path’s Carrefour, so no one knew about it. He was waiting anxiously for Philip at the entrance to the treasure vault. Coincidentally, Ted wanted to take all the treasures from the vault too. Since this place would be abandoned, he might as well keep all the treasures for himself. In his opinion, it was easy to take these treasures. He had convinced all the members. He simply had to take the treasures and send these people to Samael’s doorstep. He believed Samael would reward him handsomely after that. Ted looked forward to that outcome and wished he could gain Samael's appreciation immediately. At this time, Ted saw Steve lingering at the door. They exchanged a glance, shocked to see each other. “Why are you here? What’s going on?” Ted asked warily, wondering what was going on. At the same time, he was nervous, afraid that Steve would expose his secrets. Steve stared at Ted with fear and caution, at a loss for what to do. “Stay away fr
“This guy has fallen into the demonic path. I’m dead if you refuse to save me. I can only survive if you save me. Otherwise, I’m dead for sure!” Ted sneered when he saw Philip and overheard their conversation. “I’m surprised to hear that this guy is one of yours now. I thought you were nothing worth mentioning, but it seems that I’m mistaken.” After falling into the demonic path, Ted could feel the increase in his strength, so he thought dealing with Philip was a piece of cake. While Ted was confident about dealing with Philip, the latter made a move. Philip lunged forward at an incredible speed and grabbed Ted in his hand. Ted was trampled under Philip’s feet before he knew what was going on. Philip looked down at him condescendingly. Ted was simply dreaming if he thought he could compete with Philip. “What are you thinking? Do you really think you can deal with me with your strength?” Philip laughed at Ted mockingly, his disdain obvious. Ted frowned and struggled a bit,
Ted was furious to hear Aloysius’ castigation. More importantly, this had nothing to do with him. He did not choose to become a demonic practitioner. “You’re an interesting person. Instead of correcting your mistake, you’d rather bicker about it.” Philip felt unhappy with Ted. In fact, Philip had a way to free Ted from the demonic path’s restraints and help him purify his energy so that he could become a normal practitioner again, but Ted was still finding excuses for himself. “Forget it, you've done nothing good in your life. Falling into the demonic path is your final destination anyway. Even though you weren't a demonic practitioner before this, you've done enough harm to your fellow guild members anyway!” Steve said angrily. As fellow elders of the guild, Steve knew Ted very well. “Back then, you harmed many fellow guild members, leaving them homeless and even exiled! Do you really think your actions were justified?” Steve had kept these thoughts to himself for a long t
Aloysius' mouth twitched after hearing Steve’s words, amazed by his shamelessness. “I don’t think you’re good enough.” Aloysius did not know Philip very well before this, so he thought it was beneath him to follow Philip. After getting to know Philip in depth during this time, however, he realized he should count his lucky stars that he got to follow Philip. If Philip were just an ordinary person, Aloysius only had to fulfill his promise. However, Philip was stronger than he thought. Aloysius had been thinking about how he could stay with Philip forever. His opportunities would be endless if he stayed with Philip. The pill that Philip had taken out casually was enough to shock him, and his every move was simply out of this world. Aloysius was not that powerful even in his heyday. Therefore, Aloysius decided to follow Philip no matter what it took. Of course, Philip did not know what Aloysius was thinking. He was looking at Ted’s body. Philip sensed an obscure aura in him.
“The first elder has been controlled by the demonic path, so his earlier words were simply meant to trick all of you into a trap. The first elder has been killed by another respectable practitioner. You can check his soul lamp if you don’t believe me! “I need to report this incident to the guild leader so that he can decide the next steps. You should stay here instead of taking risks.” Steve left after saying that. This matter was of great importance. He had to report it even if it meant disrupting the guild leader’s seclusion. The members looked at each other in bewilderment, wondering what happened. It sounded ridiculous. “What’s going on? Have we been deceived? Everything the first elder said was to deceive us?” “I can’t believe that the first elder had joined the demonic path. Was he going to turn us into feed for the demons?” All the members were scared and grateful to Steve for saving them. Some guild members could not accept it. They found Ted’s soul lamp and confi
“I had a narrow escape and made it back alive because I was on guard the whole time. The holy maiden is still alive too,” Steve said hesitantly. He noticed that Carol’s soul lamp was still on when he checked earlier. He had no idea what was going on, but he had to report his findings. “Take me to that place now. I want to see what’s happening.” The guild leader, Donald Hen, was quite strong. He was sure he could figure out the situation if he led the team. They quickly arrived at the Heavenly Path’s Carrefour, but Donald hesitated at the entrance. “Don’t go in. Just stand here and talk to that guy. You’ll be entering his attack range once you enter that place,” Steve reminded him cautiously without daring to take a step forward. Donald nodded upon hearing that. He had always been wary of demonic practitioners. He had informed several guilds that had a good relationship with him about the situation here. He would have been at a loss for what to do without their help. Mea
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
