This powerful weaponsmith would forge weapons and sell them to the contenders. After all, weapons were important tools in Deadly Arena. The fighters would be at a disadvantage without weapons. Yule knew that the other party was one of the very few who could forge storage rings. Therefore, this person had to be protected at all costs. A guy in a black robe soon appeared in Yule's room, wondering why Yule summoned him at this time. “Yule, I've completed the task you assigned me. Why are you looking for me at this hour?” The other party looked at Yule in puzzlement. Yule only asked him to set fire to Philip’s house without further instructions. Seeing him, Yule helplessly pulled the other party to sit in the room. “I need to ask you something. I hope you can clarify my doubts.” Yule was very sincere and seemed genuinely curious about something. “Speak your mind. I’ll do my best to answer your question if I can.” The other party's attitude was very good, so Yule quickly rel
Yule scowled as he tried to recall what happened in the day. “Impossible, I didn't meet any powerful people today. They were all passersby not worth mentioning.” Yule shook his head, trying to clear his mind. He felt that this matter seemed to be related to Philip and Lyle, but he could not pinpoint it. “I can feel that this person is very strong, and you just met them recently. Think carefully if you've met any strangers recently.” Yule scowled as his suspicions became stronger. “I did meet someone recently. His name is Lyle, but he’s not as strong as you described. He’s just a newcomer who made the rookie list.” Mason kept analyzing the situation with Yule, feeling anxious and in disbelief. Finally, Mason decided to approach Philip and Lyle in person. He was very curious about Philip. “I’ll give you his address and you can stake him out. If he’s really that strong, I’ll have to consider the next steps.” Yule sorted his thoughts out. If the other party was really a power
“This guy’s vibe is very familiar. I think he appeared in our territory yesterday. Let’s watch out for him. He’s probably up to something,” Aslan said solemnly. His senses were different from those of ordinary people, so he acutely felt that something was wrong. Philip nodded without a word. He could feel the difference in this guy too. Philip did not even have to guess that this was the guy who burned his house. “I passed by this place and saw that the environment is quite good. How do you maintain your place so nicely?” Mason found a lame excuse to start the conversation. Philip blinked in surprise. He wondered what this guy was up to, but he was simply here for a casual chat. “It’s a trade secret, not something anyone can find out.” Philip grinned, but his tone was unfriendly. After all, this guy was an arsonist. Philip had no reason to treat him nicely. After sensing Philip’s hostility, Mason scowled at his tough attitude. “Hehe, you don’t have to be so hostile. It’s
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
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
“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
“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
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
Mason scowled unhappily. However, he did not ask them to continue collecting herbs for him but led them forward. “Forget it. Let’s go on and leave the herbs alone.” Mason was not an alchemist, so he had no idea what the herbs were used for. He simply did not want to miss out on good things. “Listen up, let’s just focus on traveling and get this done.” Mason quickly rushed forward with the team. With his strength, it should be easy to catch up with Philip. However, he was sorely mistaken. Philip was calmly collecting everything he could find in his path. After all, it was too easy for him to reach his destination with his strength. Philip and his men went through a narrow road and arrived at a vast area. Philip saw a field of strange plants in front of him. “Are my eyes playing tricks on me? I see towering mountains here.” “You’re not mistaken. I see various birds, fish, and bugs in front. Wow, are we really underwater?” “I seriously doubt what I’m seeing right now. So
Philip held the map drawn by Rabbit and walked ahead without a care in the world. Since rabbits were creatures with keen senses, the route they took was relatively safe and bypassed all the danger zones. Mason was not so lucky. He had taken another more dangerous route. Something felt wrong about this route. “I feel that we’re going around in circles." “Yeah, are you sure this is the right way?” The people of Deadly Arena were puzzled, wondering what was going on. This path was not only full of danger, but they also seemed to be getting farther and farther away. Mason looked at the map in his hand carefully. He did not find anything wrong with it. “This is definitely the correct route drawn on my map. We just need to follow the directions shown on the map to reach the King's Ruins. We can’t miss the treasures there.” As Mason walked, he recalled Philip collecting herbs along the way. Maybe he could do the same. He said expectantly, “Pay attention to the plants you see
Mason soon led his people away from Philip's location. Philip was still collecting the herbs and was not anxious at all. “Philip, are you sure we don’t need to hurry up? I have a feeling that Mason is up to something or he wouldn't be so confident. He was the first person to mention the King’s Ruins, so I’m sure he knows something. Maybe he even has a map of this place.” Yule was very nervous when he thought about the stakes. If they lost, would they really have to run around the city naked? That would be too embarrassing. He could never face anyone again if he did that. “Don’t worry, someone is already exploring the area and will map out the place soon.” Philip calmly ordered everyone to collect the herbs, and no one seemed anxious at all. Yule could only bite the bullet and bear with it. Since Philip was so calm, it would be embarrassing to act like an ignorant greenhorn.Very soon, Rabbit hopped in front of Philip. “Philip, I found everything you wanted to know. Don't
Mason did not think the herbs looked valuable. He would have treated them as weeds and ignored them. Of course, his attention was not on the weeds but on Philip. “Damn it, you’re so persistent. I’m surprised to see you here.” Mason scowled. Mason subconsciously wanted to run away at the sight of Philip. The fear Philip caused him was too strong. Philip sneered at Mason and said, “I’m surprised to see you alive. I thought you were dead.” Indeed, Philip was surprised. Nothing happened to Mason on that terrifying snake island, and he returned in victory instead. He was too lucky for words. “Bad luck will only change for the better. It’s time to teach you a lesson now. Are you ready?” Mason said vehemently, hating Philip to the core. Yule watched on the sidelines, while Mason’s party sneered without a word. With various conflicts within Deadly Arena, Yule knew he could not control these people. “Since you’re so confident, let’s have a competition.” Philip did not intend to
“Mr. Yule is having the time of his life now. I heard that he has gained immense power. In short, we can't afford to offend him. I think we should think twice about this.” Although Mason was in charge of them for the time being, they were somewhat indignant about it. This guy had no ability but wanted to control them. What a joke. However, they wanted to find the Binary Herb for their goddess. On the other hand, it was difficult for them to fight head-on against Yule. “You losers don’t even have an ounce of courage. What’s the big deal with Yule? Once our mission succeeds, I guarantee that Yule can only kneel in front of you and beg for mercy.” Mason promised them many things. He knew that they simply wanted more benefits, not that they were too afraid. “After this is over, I’ll make a powerful weapon for each of you, something worth your while. Don’t worry about it.” Mason managed to convince them with empty promises. Everyone smiled brightly and knew that the plan went we
There was a large platform ahead of them that gave them a sense of comfort. “Philip, are you mistaken? I don’t see anything wrong around us, and I think I can already breathe on my own after arriving on this big platform,” Lyle said in surprise, excited by this finding. “Since we can breathe in this place, our preparations are useless,” Lyle added in puzzlement. Philip shook his head and said, “This place is very strange. We should be careful. We may get into trouble if we drop our guard.” Everyone approached the platform and basked in that comfortable feeling. “Sure enough, it feels more comfortable than breathing on land. This is amazing.” Everyone squeezed their clothes dry. They had never felt so miserable before. As practitioners, handling such matters had always been easy. Ordinary things such as water could not touch them at all. However, this seabed was very strange and drenched everyone to the skin. “Let’s move along this sea area and maybe we can figure out th
“Mr. Yule!” Although they did not know why Yule was there, they greeted him. “I’m surprised that Deadly Arena sent you to work for this guy. Don’t you know what a loser he is? You’d better watch out and don’t mess with my guys or I won’t let you off.” After saying that, Yule jumped into the sea with his men. Mason snorted as Yule vanished from his sight. “In that case, one pill won’t be enough.” He knew that they would definitely fight if they met at the bottom of the sea. Although he did not know how the other party could breathe underwater, he had to be cautious. “I’ll give all of you another pill each. Keep it safe. We have to find the Binary Herb at all costs!” Mason distributed the pills reluctantly. He was heartbroken and felt he had made a huge loss this time. He could exploit these people if there were no enemies to hinder him, but this situation did not allow for it. Mason hated Yule to the core for his disgusting behavior. “Sure enough, there are no good peo
Yule once thought highly of his strength and came to this area when he was a brash young man. “I jumped into the sea without hesitation and soon had difficulty breathing. Fortunately, I reacted quickly and climbed ashore in time or I would've been buried in this seabed by now!” Yule felt a lingering fear. Although he had Philip's Water-Repelling Orb in hand, he was still apprehensive. As a practitioner, it would be too embarrassing to drown in this strange sea. Philip noticed his fear and patted Aslan on the shoulder. “Give them a demonstration to put their minds at ease.” Philip winked at Aslan. Aslan and the others jumped into the sea and entered the depths, coming out again after ten minutes. “It feels pretty good,” Aslan said with a smile, swimming around happily as if he did not feel any pressure at all. “As expected of the Water-Repelling Orb made by Philip, the effect is simply wonderful.” Philip's men jumped into the water and swam around freely. Seeing that,
Hearing that, everyone looked at Philip curiously, wondering what it was. “Is that the legendary Water-Repelling Orb? That’s amazing!” Aslan and the others were very knowledgeable and quickly mentioned the name. Philip nodded and said, “As long as you hold it in your hands, the water won’t pose a threat to you.” Philip knew that half of the problem would be solved once they could breathe normally underwater. Everyone they brought was elite among elites, whether his men or Yule’s men. Things would be different once they could move freely. Philip and his party were so fast that Mason and his party could not catch up, allowing Philip to take the head start. “Philip, did you go through a lot of trouble to get this?” Lyle was surprised. He had heard of the Water-Repelling Orb. It was considered a rare treasure for ordinary people but useless for practitioners. This item would not play any role unless they had to visit a dangerous place such as the King's Ruins. “They're a
