Philip walked on the road leisurely, feeling honored to have so many people stalking him. “I’m surprised that I could attract so many people.” Philip sighed in amazement as he walked. Soon, he came across several good large inns and made his choice after some selection. He was not short of money, so he did not waste time on this. “I’m going to fully reserve this inn for the time being. I don't want to see other people on my territory, so your job is to keep irrelevant people out.” Philip negotiated with the innkeeper and received the other party's consent. After all, Philip’s offer was too good to refuse. They quickly reached an agreement, and Philip obtained the right to use the inn at a good price. At this time, a bunch of people surrounded Philip with disdain. “You’re quite bold to come out alone.” “It’s very interesting to see someone walking around with so many treasures on hand.” Everyone mocked with disdainful smiles on their faces. Philip shook his head helple
“You seem stronger than Killer Bee. You might've stood a chance of winning if you had gone against him,” Philip taunted. Philip raised his head and took the punch without breaking a sweat. “If you want to steal from me, I'm sorry to tell you that you found the wrong target. If you just want to make friends with me, I’m more than happy to accept.” Philip grabbed the guy’s fist and threw him out with disdain, not taking him seriously at all. The guy did not expect that he would be tossed aside like a piece of trash and started panicking. Before he passed out, he only remembered that Philip easily dealt with him without breaking a sweat. He did not know what happened later, but he knew that Philip was so strong that he could kill him in a split second. If he could turn back time, he would never go after Philip again. Other people were shocked to see Philip’s strength. “He tossed the guy out so easily. This is terrifying. How did he do it?” “That’s impossible. That guy is p
The captain was horrified by this scene. He did not expect that Philip was so powerful to take his men down in seconds. “What powerful magic is that?” Everyone was shocked to see Philip’s strength, and the troublemakers looked worried. “Let's go. Even the Shadow Army can't do anything to him. We stand no chance.” “I think he's concealing his strength, or there’s no way he could deal with the Shadow Army so easily.” The captain of the Shadow Army could not figure out what was going on. He had no idea if he could deal with Philip either. “I can deal with you easily, so stop wasting my time and just speak your mind. I hear that you’re from the Shadow Army. In that case, let’s have a good chat.” Philip quickly sat down with him in a tavern. “Let me introduce myself. My name is Duncan. It’s nice to meet you.” Since he decided to have a chat with Philip, he left nothing unsaid. The first step of good communication was to uncover his true details. “As you know, my name is Ph
Philip was surprised to hear that. “So, my performance was so outstanding that they can't wait to get rid of me.” Philip glanced at Duncan. Since he was not here for his money, there was no problem. Besides, he did not seem like a bad guy. “I have a job to do. I have to fulfill my responsibilities and obligations, so I need to report the situation truthfully.” Duncan knew he could not deal with Philip, so he had to find another way to negotiate with him. “If you promise not to take part in another match, I can consider letting you go for the time being. That way, I can go back and report my findings too.” He did not mention his men whom Philip took down as if they were not important at all. “Of course, I can’t agree to that. This isn’t as simple as you think. The people behind Deadly Arena won’t let me off so easily. Don’t worry about that,” Philip said with a smile. Since he knew that Duncan was from Deadly Arena, there was nothing more to say. Philip knew that Lyle
Philip nodded at the other party’s grace. “Not bad, that young man is quite decent.” Even though the other party was a middle-aged man, Philip called him a young man. Philip knew that someone else would approach him very soon. He could use this opportunity to find out more about the force behind the other party. He quickly reserved the inn and wandered around the streets. He wanted to see how many people were following him. Everyone had their own agenda and was up to no good. Philip soon saw a sneaky old man who did not seem to pose any threat. The old man looked at Philip thoughtfully with a hint of ridicule, which gave Philip an unpleasant feeling. “You should know the purpose of my visit. Do I need to elaborate?” the old man cut to the chase. Philip shook his head helplessly at the old man’s arrogance. The old man in front of him was quite powerful or he would not have been so arrogant. He thought he could deal with Philip easily with his strength. “You’re obviousl
After hearing Philip’s remarks, the guy trembled in anger. His name was Argent, nicknamed Silver Snake. He first came into contact with a practice technique when he was a teenager. As he did not know anything, he simply practiced the technique on his own. Unexpectedly, there was a problem with this technique. His height remained what it was in his teens, but his appearance became old. At first, he thought that he would always look like a teenager, but his appearance gradually became old and terrifying. No matter where he went after that, people would treat him as an old man even though he was only in his early 40s. Thinking of this, he felt sorry for himself, and his hatred for Philip deepened. Not only did his appearance change, but his practice level also slowly dropped to rock bottom. His mind gradually became more and more twisted because of this. Then, he stumbled into a cave and received a heritage by chance. The heritage was evil, but it helped him improve his practice
Argent was nothing more than average, but he was so full of himself. Philip felt that he might be inferior to the other party in that aspect. “All the rewards are in my hands. If you really want them, you can try to defeat me and take them away. Otherwise, I’m afraid it’ll be difficult to get them with your strength.” Philip smiled at him. Although this guy was quite strong, he was no match for Philip. “I entered the top 100 of the advanced list when I was at your age. You’re nothing to me. Stop showing off in front of me.” A trace of disdain flashed across Argent’s face. He was clearly looking down on Philip. Philip nodded. This old man was very full of himself. His strength was undeniable, but it was nothing compared to Philip’s. “I heard that you don’t belong to a guild. Don't you feel ashamed? It’s a pity that no one is willing to take you in.” Philip smiled brightly. He said this on purpose to snub Argent. Argent was furious to hear Philip mocking him for this. He
Argent felt fear grip him. Philip’s earlier action was terrifying, as if he could grab his soul with a wave of his hand. Philip laughed at Argent’s hasty retreat, amused by his cowardice. “I just wanted to scare you. There's no need to dodge so quickly,” he said with a chuckle. Argent was furious by Philip’s shameless prank. Although he was angry, Argent had to give up his absurd plan when he thought of Philip's strength. Philip was not to be trifled with. He had to watch out. Before he could slip away and mess with Philip another day, Philip grabbed his right hand abruptly, leaving him no time to react. Argent’s right hand lost all sensation as if it had been crippled. He looked down at his right hand in a panic and was shocked to find that his right arm had vanished. “What the hell is going on? How could you do this to me?” He was shocked that Philip could break his defense so easily and cripple him. He was a force to be reckoned with, and not everyone could go against hi
Everyone disembarked and moored the yachts aside. Philip had a bad premonition at the sight of the misty East Hill Island. “Does this island have frequent visitors?” Philip asked curiously. This place seemed sparsely populated and did not seem very popular with tourists. Yule shook his head. The visitors to Deadly Arena were there to challenge themselves or make money, not die. East Hill Island was a very dangerous place. Coming unprepared would only lead to death. Smart people would never set foot on East Hill Island for no reason. They would only leave after making enough money in Deadly Arena. “This place is not as simple as you think. It’s lurking with various dangers. East Hill Island has another nickname. It's also called Snake Island because it’s full of dangerous snakes.” Mason rolled his eyes and briefly explained to Philip. His and Yule's knowledge could crush Philip easily. They had lived in Deadly Arena for a long time and were familiar with many related thi
“You may have their weapon in hand right now, but have you ever considered the forces behind them?” Seeing Yule’s excitement, Mason sighed at his naivety. Yule was only in his 20s and very inexperienced. Although he had good abilities and strong talents, it did not mean he would not be fooled by others. Two yachts moved ahead at full speed. Philip and his men were on the other yacht, while they were here talking about the dagger. “What do you mean? Is there some terrible force behind them? I refuse to believe it.” Yule did not believe it because he felt that Philip was the true power behind them. As long as he could get along well with Philip, he would be free from worries. “I think Philip is a very good weaponsmith, that’s why he’s so powerful. Maybe Philip is better than you, so you should tone it down a little. At this rate, your position may be affected.” As if he was determined to ride on Philip’s coattail, Yule started changing his attitude. Mason scowled at Yule’s th
Yule did not expect that Philip would give him such a good thing. His dissatisfaction was quickly replaced by pleasant surprise. “Oh, this is great. I always thought that we should have an open and honest cooperation. I believe we can work very well together. Don’t worry, I’m serious about working with everyone.” Yule patted his chest with pride. Aslan chuckled inwardly at Yule’s reaction. He knew that the plan was working perfectly. Mason was dumbfounded by this development. He had been eyeing this weapon and even wanted to buy it from Aslan at a high price. However, Aslan was very arrogant and refused to sell it to him, which troubled him. Mason wanted to find an opportunity to get the dagger from Aslan, but Aslan gave the powerful weapon to Yule instead, much to Mason’s dismay. 'It seems that these people are quite good to give me such a precious weapon without hesitation,' Yule finally submitted with this thought. He was excited and decided not to oppose Philip anymore.
“I just want a spot on the team. I don’t think it’s difficult for you.” The two quickly reached a consensus, and Mason got the spot he wanted.… Meanwhile, Philip gathered his members together and discussed the upcoming plan. At this time, everyone received an important message. Deadly Arena was going to undergo a major restructuring, so it would be closed for the time being. Anyone who wanted to hang around had to stay in Deadly Arena for three days and nights. Some people thought it was not worth it, so they packed up to leave. At worst, they could return after three days. Others chose to hunt in the beast forest for three days. Although they had a lingering fear of the beast stampede, the beasts had calmed down, so they could hang around. They could make a fortune if they could hunt some beasts during this time. Meanwhile, Philip and the gang headed for East Hill. To be precise, East Hill was not a hill but an island. The island was outside the scope of Deadly Arena, an
Yule could take advantage of Philip in this way, so he did not suffer a huge loss, after all. “The treasure map is pointing to a location in East Hill. Get ready to set off with us. You can bring ten men with you.” Philip was indifferent. This number of people meant nothing to him. Yule frowned at Philip’s words, unhappy that he could only bring ten people with him. However, he had to hide his displeasure at the sight of Philip’s expression. “Okay, I’ll gather my men in front of your place soon. I'll arrange for some elites to take care of this matter.” Yule quickly took Mason away. He was annoyed and felt that he had pulled the short end of the stick. Mason glared at Aslan with dissatisfaction as he was taken away much to his reluctance. Mason was very captivated by the dagger in Aslan's hand and wished he could immediately make it his own. “Have you seen the dagger in the burly guy’s hand? Do you know how powerful it is?” After being taken away by force, Mason did not
“I’ll never lie to you about this. Everything I said couldn’t be closer to the truth. Never underestimate his strength and don’t think about messing with him.” Mason quickly went to Philip's side and looked at him nervously. “I’m very interested in this thing. Why don't you sell it to me? Just name the price.” Hearing that, Aslan rolled his eyes and put the dagger away without paying any heed to Mason. After all, Foxy had been discovered. It was difficult to predict what would happen. “Now that things have reached this point, there’s nothing much I can do. I believe your people took my things from me. I hope to have a good chat with you about our cooperation.” Yule scowled. After much deliberation, he decided to compromise with Philip. After all, Philip was a force to be reckoned with. If Philip was willing to cooperate with him, maybe he could figure the map out. “You can never find the secret behind the map even if you have it in hand, but I’m different. I know many thing
“What a surprise. All of you ganged up to deceive me. What’s the point? I discovered everything in the end.” Yule looked at Philip smugly and mockingly. Philip was so stupid to expose everything in front of him. Foxy showed a look of disdain as if she did not think highly of Yule. “So what if everything has been exposed? Do you think you can take this young lady away?” Philip smiled helplessly. The exposure meant nothing. After all, Yule could never take Foxy from him. Foxy was not wearing a hat, so Yule could tell from her face and ears that she was definitely not a human. “This young lady has furry ears, so she must be a beast. How interesting. Her ears are quite pretty, but I wonder if she can keep them once I get my hands on her,” Yule said viciously with a look of disdain on his face. Meanwhile, Mason was still thinking of ways to get Philip’s weapon. “Stop worrying about it. I need to speak to you.” Mason pulled Yule aside nervously. He could not wait to tell Yule
Yule not only failed to uncover the situation but also lost the treasure map. How could he face the big bosses later? “Philip, tell me what’s going on. Did you send someone to steal my things?” Yule was very angry at this unexpected outcome. Philip and the others looked at Yule’s sudden appearance helplessly. Everyone recognized Yule. Yule saw the many familiar faces in the yard and scowled darkly. Yule clearly remembered all the guys who asked him for money before. “Damn it, I was wondering why everything felt wrong! So, this is your conspiracy. Hehe, it was my fault for trusting you. I was too naïve.” Yule laughed at himself in disbelief, appalled by his stupidity. Seeing Yule’s reaction, Philip smiled awkwardly. He felt a little guilty over this. After all, he had deceived Yule with his people, which was quite embarrassing. “You said we stole your things. Why did you say that? Don’t accuse us for no reason. Although we ganged up to cheat your money, we didn't steal you
Mason picked up the dagger and studied it carefully. He realized that this weapon was very valuable and probably worth a fortune. Even some of the best weapons he forged might not hold a candle to this dagger. “Where did you get this weapon? How could you throw it to the ground so casually? This is outrageous! I’ve never seen such a precious thing in my life, but you're treating it so roughly. It’s wasted on you!” Mason grumbled in dissatisfaction as if he was heartbroken over Philip’s behavior. Philip frowned. “Is it very expensive? It’s no big deal to me.” Philip shrugged helplessly at this ignorant man. It was just an ordinary dagger that he used to peel fruits, but Mason treated it as a treasure. “What?” Mason was surprised and dumbfounded. He had a feeling that something was wrong. He thought Philip might not know the value of this treasure, so he might pick up a bargain. His eyes darted around as he quickly composed himself. “Since you think so little of it, why don't
