The First Heir Chapter 5709
Rick retreated into a corner dejectedly, trying to think of a way to trigger a conflict between Philip and everyone else. Although there was conflict, everyone hid their emotions without venting their frustrations. At this time, Otto approached Philip privately. He had a good impression of Philip and wanted to know him better. “Have you heard of a place called Deadly Arena?” Otto and Philip sat in a tavern drinking like best buddies. The other members of the two guilds were eating and drinking at other places. Everyone was exhausted after spending so much energy in Glaze Tower over a long duration. “What is it? Is it something like a battle arena?” Philip said curiously. He had never heard of it. Otto nodded. “We can take a transportation tool called a cloud vessel to the Clandestine Continent.” This continent was more than met the eye, and it was famous for the so-called Deadly Arena. Philip’s interest was piqued. After his people had their fill, they arrived at the
The First Heir Chapter 5710
The young man’s face was stained with blood, but he did not seem injured. He looked cool and handsome. An older man stood across from the young man. The former clutched his stomach as if trying to stop the blood from flowing. The older man looked at the young man solemnly and said, “Thank you for not killing me. Please excuse me.” The older man left after losing the fight without displaying any anger or staying around to mess with others. The audience cheered like crazed fans and chanted the young man’s name, “Fabian! Fabian!” Everyone was excited to see this mind-blowing scene. Philip observed the young man with a saber in hand. He could tell Fabian was very strong, a force to be reckoned with. The challengers would receive certain rewards, and everyone could make some money by placing bets. Of course, the winner would get more rewards while the loser would receive some compensation. However, that was on the premise that they survived. Everything that happened in Dea

Philip noticed his people’s eager expressions and shook his head helplessly. Since they were here, there was no reason not to take part. He would have let them do it even if they had not asked. Everyone quickly signed up excitedly. Everyone received a name tag, and their names appeared on the huge stone tablet. Everyone had a zero above their names. Their stats were clearly so clean because they did not have any rankings. “Oh? So many little guys signed up! This is really interesting!” “It’s been a while since we saw any fresh faces. It’s interesting to see them sign up for this.” Everyone was interested in these rookies. In their opinion, they were nothing but cannon fodder. They were relatively young and did not seem powerful at all. “How many young talents can there be in the world? There are only a handful of them.” “Most young people can only be seen as pitiful cannon fodder.” Everyone discussed these young people excitedly but did not think highly of them. Heari
The First Heir Chapter 5712
Philip certainly knew the workings behind such things, so he never bet with strangers. “Wow, that young man really went on stage. I think he looks very confident!” “Is that kid in his teens? He’s quite good to have reached that level, but his opponent may not be a good person!” Everyone thought Lyle looked pretty good and should be a good candidate for grooming. However, it would be bad if he encountered a ruthless opponent. Some people simply killed without qualms. Although such methods were appalling, it was not uncommon. Most practitioners were courteous and would act within certain limits without stepping out of the line. Lyle quickly stepped on stage. He greeted everyone excitedly and felt satisfied with this extreme challenge. At this time, Lyle’s opponent appeared on stage too. After seeing Lyle's opponent, everyone looked regretful as if they felt sorry for Lyle. They clearly knew Lyle’s opponent quite well. Philip asked the people around him to find out more
The First Heir Chapter 5713
The onlookers placed their bets on the brutal middle-aged man. Philip saw the other party's name at this time—Conquistador. It was an impressive name, but he wondered if this person could live up to it. The fight quickly started, and all bets were off. Lyle tested the opponent’s strength and quickly relaxed after confirming he had nothing to worry about. “Hmph, I thought you were very strong by the looks of your aggressive appearance,” Lyle sneered and taunted Conquistador. Conquistador frowned with displeasure. “Huh, you look like a newbie so I’ll tell you something. My family is related to the people behind Deadly Arena. Don’t try to push your luck if you want to stay alive,” he noticed Lyle’s oblivious appearance and reminded him. No one ever dared to kill him because of his identity and reminder. Deadly Arena was a huge force. One had to follow the rules if one wanted to make money from this place. “Oh,” Lyle responded and sighed helplessly. He wondered what Philip
The First Heir Chapter 5714
“Sure enough, ignorance is bliss. This newbie has no idea what’s waiting for him.” “Lyle is quite powerful, but I’m afraid that’s the end of the road for him.” “I wonder what those people will do to him. I know that person in charge. I heard that he went to another continent recently and will probably be back soon!” Philip overheard everyone’s comments as they spoke. His guess was right. With Lyle’s quick temper, he would never give the other party a chance. “That guy was so lousy. I’ve never seen such a loser before.” Lyle shrugged helplessly, but he was excitedly waiting for his next round. Otto was worried and wanted to remind Philip. “Philip, to be honest, that guy is a force to be reckoned with. I’ve heard of his relative. It seems that he has a high status and is very protective of his people. I’m afraid that this time…” He glanced at Lyle and hesitated to carry on. Philip asked Otto to speak his mind. “I’m afraid your people will be in trouble for messing wit
The First Heir Chapter 5715
Otto’s apprentice had always kept a low profile and never revealed his identity to the public, so Deadly Arena thought that he was just an ordinary guy. His fate was sealed because he tried to make money here without any power to support him. “My apprentice ended up dead because of that wicked conspiracy, and his family members also died because they didn’t receive treatment in time. I wasn’t aware of it at that time. By the time I found out, it was too late!” Otto was helpless and regretful. “That guy is simply disgusting. It’s good that Lyle sought justice for you.” Philip nodded with satisfaction. Lyle had done something right. Otto looked at Philip, shocked by his reaction. Philip was not scared of the person in charge at all. “Aren’t you afraid that he’ll come after Lyle?” Otto glanced at the jubilant Lyle and felt that they should do something about it. Philip nodded calmly. “It’s just a small matter, nothing to be afraid of.” At this time, Lyle urged Philip to
The First Heir Chapter 5716
Although everyone was shocked by Lyle's performance, they knew he would not live long. Messing with the people behind Deadly Arena was simply ridiculous. “Hurry up and place your bets. I have a feeling that this rookie will lose the match.” The bet started again, and Philip's eyes flashed with anticipation. He knew that it was time for him to make a fortune. Lyle and the others quickly placed their bets. They knew that Philip would never lose the match, so they were ready to make a fortune. Most people chose his opponent. They knew that Philip would never win. A young man in a bodysuit with no expression on his face approached Philip quickly. He looked very fierce, just like a beast. Philip stood in the arena and looked around silently. He felt a little excited instead of nervous. He had enough confidence and believed that he could stand out from the crowd. The young man in black looked about the same age as Lyle. He was not tall and seemed a little malnourished, but he w

The First Heir Chapter 6351
“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for attending the lark family’s grand ceremony of the century,” a man announced in the middle of the square, and the bride stood next to him with a happy smile on her face. If Adam was present, he would definitely recognize the bride as the woman he had been dreaming of over the years, Ashley Bay. A handsome man stood next to the bride. His every move was imposing and domineering. They looked like the perfect match. Everyone looked at this scene and blessed them happily. “After a series of careful selection, I finally found the most suitable husband for my daughter. This is an important event for the lark people!” The lark people had a high status, and everyone wanted to marry into this family. After many selections, the bridegroom finally won the bride’s hand in marriage. Over the years, countless men had flocked around Ashley. After observations from all aspects, this man fit all the criteria—so much so that Adam had long been forgotten.

“This boot records various information about the lark people that may be very important to you. I believe you’ll understand after reading it.” After saying this, Renee handed the boot to Adam. She was not a fool. She knew that Philip was not the person initiating the search. Although Adam always remained calm, he could not hide his eagerness at all. Adam looked at Renee gratefully and took the book and started reading it without further ado. The more he read, the more shocked he felt. In the end, he was full of disbelief as if he could not believe what he saw. “Is this for real?” Adam finished reading the boot quickly and handed it to Philip and Carlos. The other two flipped through the book curiously. Philip scowled. He could not tell whether the information was true or false. “Is it true that the lark people have such an ability? It's recorded in the book that they can create a world. That’s simply…” Carlos was puzzled. Only a very powerful being could create a world. Was

“Please tell me how to find them. I want to find out what’s going on, even if it's just to convince myself to give up.” Adam decided that he still wanted to find the other party. No matter what, he had to get to the bottom of it. If everything was a lost cause, he would give up. Hearing that, Renee seemed conflicted as if deciding whether to tell them everything. “It doesn’t do me any good to tell you this. Why should I take the risk for no reason? I do business. You need to pay a price for it,” Renee said with a smile. Philip laughed. The words sounded very familiar to him as if he said them before. He used to say such things when he was doing business just to bluff some dumb customers. “Of course, I know you do business. If you’re willing to tell us something, we can offer you something in return, whether money or other resources,” Philip said with calm confidence. No matter what the other party wanted, he could easily provide it. Renee smiled at Philip’s words. “It's

The woman seemed amused by Philip’s request. “I know what you’re worried about. Don’t worry, I’m not a liar. Although my actions don’t seem aboveboard to you, I’m not a bad person.” The woman did not hide anything. She knew that Philip had seen through the secret of her singing. As the only man who discovered her secret, she admired Philip very much. She once vowed that she would marry the man who could resist the temptation of her singing. “By the way, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Renee, and I'm an employee of Moon Tavern. My job is very simple, that is to bring in more profits to the tavern.” Renee seemed very sincere and told them everything about herself. “However, my method isn’t very aboveboard. You already know that I make profits by using my singing to attract customers.” Renee mentioned her secret frankly, and Philip was surprised by her honesty. “As for the secret between me and the lark people, I can tell you that they hate me so much because some
The First Heir Chapter 6347
Seeing everyone’s reaction, Philip was all the more interested in this mysterious existence. He wanted to find out who they were to act so arrogantly. Obviously, the lark people were stronger than anyone could imagine. Ordinary people were afraid of this family no matter how powerful they were. Maybe the storyteller felt uncomfortable at the mention of this family, but he quickly left after a while. Philip and the others were disappointed that they could not find out the news they wanted. When they thought that they had to return in defeat, a woman appeared and looked at them calmly. The woman was wearing a veil on her face, making it impossible to see her appearance. The veil was quite an extraordinary item that could block various detections. However, Philip recognized her at a glance. She was the woman singing on the stage just now. She actually approached them. Things were getting more and more interesting. “What you want to know is taboo. Come with me if you want to fi

Meanwhile, backstage at Moon Tavern, the waiter was telling the woman singing on stage earlier about what had happened in the private room. The woman was full of disbelief, thinking the waiter was lying. “Don’t try to bluff me. How could anyone resist my attack?” The woman wore a veil on her face and looked very mysterious. Only the woman knew how disgusting she looked when she was not performing or casting spells. Covering her face was the best choice. The waiter told her what happened and described the state Philip and the others were in earlier. Although two people were affected, it was a problem because one person had remained conscious.They would face a lot of problems if other people discovered their tricks. The woman's tricks were extraordinary. Even a powerful person with superb strength would find it difficult to get rid of her attack. These so-called strong experts would only end up falling for her trick. At this time, the storyteller went on stage, and he was t

Philip nodded. “Do I have to order something else?” A hint of realization flashed in Philip’s eyes. He realized what was going on. The woman had the ability to bewitch the customers by affecting their thinking and emotions through singing and inducing them into spending money. She exuded a special charm to attract the customers even though she looked ordinary. In their minds, she was an unattainable goddess. Everyone saw a different woman in their minds but charming nonetheless, tempting them to spend money on her even though it would cost them all their fortune. However, Philip was different. He could control his emotions very well, so this woman had almost no influence on him. He realized this problem when he first heard that mysterious song. The waiter scowled and finally left the private room in horror after much deliberation. Philip did not say anything at his hasty departure. The woman quickly left the stage after playing her zither, and the bewitched customers

“Something is wrong. I find that woman a little weird.” Hearing that, they were curious to find out how Philip concluded that. “Although she’s not that good-looking, I don’t think she’s weird. What do you think is wrong with her?” Carlos said in puzzlement, wondering why Philip felt that this woman was weird. “The woman seems to have a fatal attraction to the male customers. It’s a scary ability to make these men flock to her.” It was weird that a woman with average looks could attract so many men. No one would believe that she had a strong appeal. “Welcome to Moon Tavern. I’ll be singing a song for you today. I hope you like it.” The woman's delicate voice rang, and everyone felt relaxed and happy. Even Philip felt that this voice was very charming, like the sound of nature ringing in his ears. However, Philip was not a fool. He keenly sensed something wrong with the situation. Nothing would be charming enough to attract him. For it to happen meant that something was wro

“Give us three pots of tea. We don’t need anything else. Thank you.” Philip did not order anything else. In his opinion, he was just here to find information, so his money should be spent on things that mattered the most. The waiter rolled his eyes at the order and seemed to look down on Philip. “Customers, are you sure you only want a few pots of tea? We have many snacks too,” the waiter said in disdain. Carlos was more concerned about his image, so he was shocked by the waiter’s obvious disdain. “Yes, we only need a pot of tea each. We want to have a taste first.” Adam's attitude was much better, speaking with a friendly smile on his face. Even if the waiter was angry, he could do nothing about it. The waiter left cursing under his breath. He thought that they were big customers, but they did not even give him a tip. Philip glanced at the waiter helplessly. Even waiters were so arrogant nowadays. Philip and the others were quickly served three pots of tea. The pots
