Philip gave Yule the item Mason had been longing for. Mason could never forgive Philip, or his people, for that. “What does it have to do with you? If you have time, go and deal with the snakes. Stop wasting my time.” Mason turned around and left, unwilling to speak to Lyle anymore. Seeing Mason ignoring him, Lyle shook his head helplessly and turned to leave. “Since you're choosing to ignore me, forget it. It’s easy for me to deal with the snakes anyway,” Lyle said on purpose to provoke Mason. Mason sneered at Lyle’s arrogance. He knew that Lyle would die soon. “Hehe, since you’re so great, you need to watch out. Who knows how many snakes there are? If the number is too big for you to handle, it’ll be the end of you,” Mason mocked coldly and left. Lyle returned to Philip, smiling with satisfaction. Now that the thing was in his hand, there was no time to lose. “Hehe, it’s done, Philip. That guy thinks too highly of himself, talking down to me like that,” Lyle said mockin
The snakes knew they were stronger than these stupid humans who dared to trespass on their territory. Therefore, the snakes were angry and flicked their tongues out at Philip and the others as if trying to intimidate them. Philip waved at Yule indifferently. “Buddy, the snakes have become a force to be reckoned with. They’re pretty pissed off by our actions.” Philip pointed to a snake that kept flicking its tongue out at him and shrugged helplessly. Anyone could tell that the snake was very powerful and had a bad impression of these humans who appeared out of nowhere. “Everyone, get ready to fight the snakes. We can only enter the safe zone after taking care of them.” Philip ordered his men to fight but was puzzled at the same time. Although East Hill Island did have a large number of beasts, this was over the top. At any rate, Yule’s people were well-trained experts. Although their performance had been lacking, it did not affect their professionalism. Seeing that victo
Mason was at a loss for what to do. Mason’s actions aroused Philip's and Yule’s curiosity. They wondered what was going on with this guy. “What are you doing? Did you lose something? Or is your idea of showing us making us wait for you for no reason?” Mason scowled but quickly recalled that Yule’s things had gone missing too. Mason rushed through the crowd and came to Lyle, questioning him solemnly. “Tell me the truth. Did you steal the things from my bag? Return my things to me at once!” Mason was furious when he realized that someone had stolen his treasures. It would not matter if Lyle stole some insignificant things, but the powder was meant to save his life on East Hill Island. He could not lose it for no reason. Lyle rolled his eyes at Mason’s actions as if he thought Mason was unhinged. “What are you talking about? I thought you were very powerful, but you’re nothing but a loser. “If you’re unwilling to fight on the battlefield, stop goofing around here. Our time i
Thinking of the various upcoming dangers they would face, Mason finally decided to cede to Yule after some deliberation. While Yule took a break from the fight, Mason pulled him aside. “I want to make a deal with you. If you’re willing to protect my safety, I’ll agree to one of your requests.” Yule sneered inwardly at Mason’s humble and flattering attitude. He never thought this guy would give in to save himself. Mason always thought highly of himself, but to survive in a dangerous place like East Hill Island, he was willing to abandon his so-called dignity and ask for help. “Hehe, since you mentioned it, I won’t refuse. Don’t worry, you can stay with my team. We’re comrades, after all!” Yule’s thinking was very simple. Although Mason could not hold a candle to Philip, he was a weaponsmith, after all. Maybe he could play a role at a critical moment. Thinking of this, Yule reached a deal with Mason. He did not want to miss such a good opportunity for no reason. If he a
“If you’re that strong, you may lead the way and bring us into that harmless palace.” Mason fell silent at Philip’s words. He had been simply shooting his mouth off without any plans in mind. It was impossible for him to lead the way. Mason chose to remain silent after glaring daggers at Philip. Everyone took out the food they prepared for the trip, and Mason took out some dry food from his storage ring. Mason had prepared a lot of food in his storage bag, but everything had been emptied out. Luckily, he had put some dry food in his storage ring or he would have starved to death. Yule and his party could not provide a lavish spread either. They also had some dry food that was portable and longer-lasting. On the other hand, Philip and his friends were very busy, but no one knew what they were doing. Mason and the others quickly sat down to eat and rest while Aslan and the others took out the things they had prepared. Whether it was a barbecue stove or various cooking equ
Yule did not expect that Philip would share his food with them. He was stunned by the gesture. “Thank you. We’d never have such delicious food if you weren’t here.” Yule took a bite without hesitation, smiling brightly. He never thought that he could eat such delicious food. Yule and his people almost went crazy over the delicious taste. They were very excited and wished they could join Philip's barbecue team too. Mason sat unhappily aside. Those arrogant people did not give him anything. “What’s the big deal with barbecued meat? It doesn’t look that good anyway.” Mason wiped his drool away. He kept mocking the barbecued meat and did not think there was anything special about it. At this time, Yule stood up and exclaimed in amazement, “As everyone knows, I’m the son of an important figure in Deadly Arena, but I’ve never eaten such delicious beast meat in my life! This is definitely premium cuisine made from premium beast meat. I’ll never give it up for anything!” Yule m
Yule made a swiping motion across his neck to intimidate his men. Everyone nodded solemnly. Of course, they knew not to reveal this secret. “Don’t worry, Yule, we’ll keep it a secret. We've eaten the meat and know how valuable it is. It’ll be dangerous if this matter is exposed.” “That’s right. They're so kind to share their food with us. It’d be too much if we repay kindness with ingrate.” Everyone spoke excitedly, and Philip smiled at their conscientiousness. They were quite sensible to keep this matter a secret for him. Everyone soon finished the meal happily, and Aslan even provided them with good liquor from his inventory. As practitioners, some liquor was nothing to them. Mason glared at everyone with envy and jealousy. No one offered him a bite until they finished their food. However, Mason was very headstrong and refused to give in to Philip even though he was drooling.Everyone knew that Mason did not get along well with Philip and the others, so no one put in a g
The palace looked very small from a distance, but it was actually so big that Philip could not see the end at a glance. Fortunately, they just had a good break or they would have been exhausted by now. “This place looks amazing,” Aslan marveled in surprise at this beautiful scenery. Just the luxurious appearance of this palace alone was more than met the eye. “Great, we finally reached the palace.” Yule was surprised at this mysterious place too. “If you hadn’t led the way, I’m afraid I would've gotten here on my own. It doesn’t seem like a good place.” The scary snakes alone were enough to keep everyone away. All the snakes were deadly creatures. It would be a dead end if they could not find the right direction in the fog. Mason could not wait to rush inside. He marched to the palace, thinking he could be the first to enter. To his surprise, he was stopped at the door. Some sort of barrier at the door blocked him. “What’s going on? Am I not allowed inside?” Seeing th
Everyone was dumbfounded. No one thought that Ronan would take action without paying any heed to them. Cameron panicked and ordered his men to stop Ronan, “Guards, take action! You have to stop Ronan!” His face turned pale, and he wished that the guards could kill Ronan. However, he suddenly remembered the deal between the businessman and himself. “Wait, don’t kill him. I want him alive. I need him for something important!” Cameron shouted nervously as if he was sure that his guards would defeat Ronan. Other than the guards, other family members also stepped forward. They wanted to show off their strength. Seeing this, Philip waved to Ronan. He would take action if required. Ronan waved his hand indifferently in response. He did not need Philip’s help for now. He was strong enough to take care of it. At this time, Rabbit appeared drowsily. Rabbit led a carefree life, and Philip always let him be, so he was an idle rabbit. After Cameron and the others saw Rabbit, their e
Ronan became more confident after the chat with Philip. If anyone dared to mess with him, he would not hesitate to teach them a good lesson. Cameron looked around but did not see Rabbit. He was worried but went straight to the point. “My child, after all these years, have you finally decided to return to the family?” Cameron smiled as he attempted the emotional approach as if Ronan had lived outside over the years because of his own decision. Hearing that, Ronan coughed and nearly threw up. Cameron was really good at blaming him. “What do you mean? Did I ask you to kick me out of the house?” Ronan's eyes flashed with anger. As a weak and powerless child back then, he was kicked out of the house right after his mother’s death. That feeling was really humiliating. All his grievances over the years exploded at this point. He could not tolerate these hypocritical people anymore. Cameron noticed Ronan’s reaction and knew that it was bad. This matter was out of his control. Ronan
“Since you've accepted my things, you should…” Cameron rubbed his hands excitedly, looking at Rabbit smugly and expectantly. His men looked at Rabbit in delight. It would be great if they could get storage space. Rabbit shook his head in disdain. “What are you thinking? Do you think you’re worthy of me? You don’t even have a measly storage space. Who are you to bargain with me?” Rabbit kicked the nearest person away. “Don’t bother me again or that’ll be your outcome!” He hopped back into the house. He was not afraid that they would mess with him. Cameron was shocked that Rabbit would go back on his word after taking their things. He was furious. Those were the treasures of the family. It would be a disaster if they lost them. However, it was clearly not the right time to dwell on it. Cameron decided to talk to Rabbit again tomorrow. He had to talk to Ronan anyway. It would be best if he could fool them. “Let’s get some rest for the night and talk about it tomorrow morning
Cameron persuaded Rabbit excitedly. In his opinion, he was halfway to success. Rabbit nodded. “Give me what you have for now. At least show me your sincerity. You should know that the guy inside offered me a high price!” Rabbit fooled Cameron. He wanted to know what Cameron could come up with. Just crystals alone would be a letdown. Hearing that, Cameron waved to his men, signaling them to take out all the good things from the warehouse, at least to fool Rabbit for the time being. His men reluctantly went to the warehouse and took out all the treasures they had collected. Anyway, it was just for show and would not really be given to the rabbit, so they did not object. It would be a great deal if these treasures could attract a guardian beast. Rabbit nodded with satisfaction at these things. He waved his hand, and everything vanished from those people’s hands. Everyone was shocked and wondered what was going on. There was no such thing as storage space in this world. They ha
It felt good to have a capable henchman around. Philip could not be bothered to waste his precious time on these losers. Cameron and his men reached the door when a rabbit fell from the sky. The old woman and the others knew the rabbit’s habits and warned everyone to watch out. However, the elites were caught off guard and looked around blankly, wondering what was going on. The next moment, the loudmouthed man was knocked to the ground. Rabbit landed on the guy and started punching and kicking, certain that the man would suffer the utmost pain from this beating. Cameron and the others were dumbfounded by this scene. They had heard of powerful spirit pets but had never seen a rabbit as a spirit pet. The rabbit was good at fighting, so it should not be an ordinary creature. “Go away and stop bothering us. I’ll kill you if I don’t get a good night’s sleep! Let me show you what I can do!” Rabbit swung his fists seemingly at random, but every punch landed. Cameron stood far aw
At this time, Cameron and his men returned in the middle of the night. He saw the Claude family members crying as soon as he returned. They were bruised and battered from a beating, looking utterly miserable. Cameron was furious that someone would dare to bully his family members while he was away. “What's going on? Why are you in this state? Did someone cause trouble while I was away?” Cameron was angry and in disbelief, feeling that something was strange. Everyone nodded nervously. “Ronan is here!” The old woman who suffered the worst beating was very upset and glared viciously in Ronan’s direction. “Cameron, although you left me in charge while you were away, I can’t do it anymore. Ronan kept messing with us and even brought some people to beat us up!” The old woman made up stories and described Ronan as an unforgivable evildoer. Cameron scowled, but he could not believe it. “What did you say? Ronan actually hit someone?” He was unwilling to believe it. Although Ronan
Philip took out some fine wine, which was worthless to him but priceless to Ronan. Ronan laughed at Philip’s nonchalance and patted his shoulder. The two of them sat down and started drinking. Rabbit joined in the fun and swallowed the wine in big gulps. Although the alcohol content was a bit high for Rabbit, he enjoyed it happily. They quickly felt slightly tipsy. Although they were practitioners, they did not use any techniques to sober up. It was okay to be a little intoxicated as long as it did not affect them too much. It was rare to find a friend who they could click so well with, so it was a blessing to get drunk together. As they drank happily, the aroma of the wine wafted out. Everyone smelled the fragrance and looked for the source of the scent. They quickly found Ronan's residence and scowled. That smell proved that he had to be drinking good wine in there. “How is he worthy of such fine wine?” “Just a whiff of that wine clears my head, so it has to be good s
Although victory was not confirmed, they had to take part. Since the other party said so, they had no choice but to win. At the thought of the other major families, Cameron scowled as he felt the pressure. “I heard that you have a non-human descendant in your family,” the other party said with a smile, but it was uncertain if his intention was to mock Cameron or to find out some information. The Claude family scowled as they instantly figured out who the other party was talking about—Ronan. This person had disgraced the whole family. “We do have someone like that in our family. Back then, one of our youths was restless and impulsive…” Cameron wanted to explain, but the other party interrupted him. The mysterious man smiled with satisfaction at Cameron’s admittance. “If that’s the case, it’s great. Let this person take part in the competition. I’m interested in his strength and want to try it out in person. “Other than your victory, this person has to take part in the comp
By treating Ronan badly, the people would receive some rewards from the higher-ups. After a while, everyone got used to it. Even the wine sold to Ronan was cheap wine that no one wanted. “There’ll be a place for me in the world somehow!” Philip shook his head. These people’s attitude was strange, indeed, but he did not think that they could not find a roof over their heads. Since the Claude family was so arrogant, they could take over their place. Thinking of this, Philip took them back to the Claude family's manor and knocked on the door with a smile on his face. The guards were horrified to see Philip and Ronan again. They did not forget how badly they were beaten earlier. Thus, no one dared to stop them from marching in for fear that they would be beaten again. They could not afford the consequences. The Claude family quickly learned about their appearance. They scowled, their faces turning ashen. “Why are you here again?” “We already told you that they won't be ba
