Very soon, everyone left the King’s Ruins. Philip had taken care of the danger, so they just had to collect the treasures. Yule and his team were grateful to Philip and flattered him along the way. After all, they would not have been able to leave the place alive so easily if not for Philip. The King’s Ruins were still dangerous even though they did not face any monsters head-on. They knew they managed to avoid most dangers because of Philip. At this moment, Yule’s communicator vibrated. Only his close family members had his contact, so Yule immediately felt a bad premonition. He walked to the corner with the communicator and spoke anxiously. It seemed that he had encountered some big trouble. Philip waited for Yule to return to the team without a word. Ten minutes later, Yule returned to the team. He looked very depressed as if he had encountered a big problem. Philip noticed his reaction but did not take the initiative to approach him. He knew that Yule would approach h
Almost everyone knew about the condition of Yule's father, and most of them were there to watch the fun. When Yule and the others appeared, some people could not wait to start taunting him. “Oh, you’re such a good son. Your father is already in this state, but you’re still in the mood to fool around outside. You should start preparing for your father’s wake!” “The miracle doctor has given a diagnosis, saying that your father has only a few more days to live. Stop wasting time and start preparing for the funeral!” Everyone mocked Yule, who was respected simply because of his father’s position. Now that Yule's father was dying, no one wanted to show him that respect anymore. Some people even planned to steal things from Yule’s house! With no one else to back him up, everyone thought that Yule did not deserve to stay in that luxurious house anymore. Hearing everyone’s taunts, Yule was so angry that he trembled all over, but now was no time to argue. He had to find out his fath
“Let’s stop making wild guesses and wait for Yule's father to explain. This creature doesn’t belong to this continent, so no one knows what’s going on.” Philip reached out and gently touched the scales in amazement. He felt that something was wrong with this mermaid. With that touch, he found that the mermaid’s scales were better than those of a dragon. Philip once found a dragon scale by chance, but the dragon scale was not as tough as the mermaid's scales. Moreover, the mermaid's scales could change into various shapes, which was amazing. “If the scales are used to make a weapon, it’ll definitely be the best treasure. Not only can it attack and defend, but also…” Before Philip could finish his words, he heard Yule's father coughing violently. He seemed in pretty bad shape. “Rascal, go and look at the fish. She’s not an ordinary fish but a mermaid I found by chance! According to ancient records, there are many similar creatures in the world of the gods, and they're a force
“You’re right. The mermaid is such a mysterious creature. How can anyone cure its poison?” Stanley smiled wryly, feeling sorry for himself. “Philip, you have to find a way to save my father. I’ll do anything for you if you can save him!” Yule grabbed Philip’s shoulders with agitation. He begged Philip and almost knelt at his feet. In Yule's opinion, Philip was an omnipotent and powerful existence. There was nothing he could not do. Likewise, Aslan and the others shared the same thought. Therefore, they were surprised when Philip said that he could not save Stanley. Philip sighed. In the past, he had been to places of a lower civilization where the natives were not very strong. He could do whatever he wanted and no one could do much to him even if they wanted to. However, Philip was not familiar with places of a higher civilization. Even Rabbit only knew a little and was hesitant to speak. Hence, Philip was not confident he could save Stanley. “Maybe that creature came fro
“Ugly woman, don’t forget who saved you. Besides, you’re so seriously injured that I don’t think you have much backing behind you. Do you really want to oppose us? If things come to a fight, we’ll make sure to take you down first!” Aslan was smart and knew that this mermaid was a force to be reckoned with, but he was more aware that he had nothing to fear if she wanted to use force against them. Even if the so-called gods invaded, the worst outcome would be death for all parties. Before they died, they would drag as many people as they could with them, which was everyone's usual way of doing things. “You!” The mermaid was so angry that she wanted to kill someone but she was too weak to do anything. “Stop trying to infuriate us. We don't mean to hurt you. You don't have to be so harsh,” Philip said calmly, wondering why she was so cranky. “Hmph!” The mermaid snorted without another word, unwilling to speak to Philip. Philip smiled helplessly at her snort. “Why don't yo
“By the way, my name is Marina. You can call me Her Highness Princess Mermaid.” Philip did not take the mermaid’s introduction seriously. He was not a lapdog and would not call her by her title. Calling her by name was good enough for her. “If I help you open the portal to the world of the gods, what can I get out of it? As a businessman, I value profit very much. I don't mind helping you if I can profit from it,” Philip said with a smile. Philip knew that he picked up the key to the world of the gods earlier. In that case, he had to take this negotiation seriously and get as much as he could from Marina. Marina's eyes widened upon hearing this, surprised that Philip found the key to the world of the gods. “Did you find the key after going to the lifeless sea?” Marina's hands trembled with excitement. Philip nodded calmly and took out a blue stone from his pocket to prove his words. Nothing was better proof than the stone. Marina was ecstatic. “That’s great. Since you f
Yule knew he was not worthy to get involved in this matter but he wanted a share of the pie. He was uncomfortable with this uneasiness. “You need to improve your strength and stop being so cowardly. Although I don't know what it takes to enter that world, your current level is obviously not going to cut it. Improving yourself is a means of protecting yourself.” Philip did not put it so explicitly because he had a good impression of Yule. If Yule could improve himself, Philip did not mind taking him along. Lyle and the others had no worries. As Philip's subordinates, they had the right to follow him. Philip was surprised by this unexpected gain and could not wait to deal with the snake monster now. Since Sienna tried every means to find the Binary Herb, she must have a way to recover her strength. Otherwise, she could not use the herb even if she got it. At this time, Mason returned in a miserable state. He never dreamed that Philip could defeat him so easily. Philip was
Seeing the snake carcass, Sienna was dumbfounded. She could not believe that she would see her husband's corpse here. “What's going on? How did things turn out this way?” Sienna was very agitated and grabbed Philip in disbelief. “Where did you see him? Why was he cut in half? What's going on? Tell me!” Philip was surprised by Sienna’s emotional outburst. “I thought you were looking for the Binary Herb to save your husband,” Philip said with a smile. He did not sympathize with Sienna. Both snakes were up to no good. Even if they had a good relationship, they lived in vain. “I knew that someone locked him up but I didn’t know it was in that mysterious sea. I’d have saved him in person if I’d known about it!” Sienna said mournfully. Philip looked at Sienna doubtfully. He felt that her behavior was not normal. She must be up to no good. “So, what do you want to do now? Aren't you here to find the Binary Herb?” Aslan suddenly appeared and scoffed. He did not have a good im
At this time, the Claude family’s butler found the residence's doorstep surrounded by people. The butler was horrified and quickly found the patriarch. “Oh no, something bad has happened!” The butler ran into the room in disbelief. The excited Cameron scowled at this sudden intrusion. “What’s bad? Watch your words. Have you forgotten your manners? Don’t speak so loudly in this house!” Cameron had been lost in his excitement, but it was quickly replaced by anger. He wished he could fire the butler on the spot.The butler was scared and felt sorry for himself. “Patriarch! I wasn’t kidding. Something bad has happened!” “People from other families are at the door, including the heads of their families! They keep talking about some storage space and a rabbit, demanding an explanation from us. I don’t know what’s going on!” The butler felt aggrieved because he had no idea what happened. He only knew that a rabbit that could speak human language had turned up in the family. That ra
Philip had that precious tea on hand. Just one mouthful was enough to improve Cameron’s strength. He also had that incredible storage space. What was Philip’s background? How many mysterious treasures did he have? No one dared to think about it. Especially Cameron, who felt that he had found a treasure this time. At first, Cameron bore a grudge against Philip and felt that he had messed things up, but now, he saw Philip as his salvation.… Meanwhile, Sadie had no idea what had happened. Sadie’s husband was dealing with Philip’s issue with Cameron and did not have time to report the situation to his useless wife. She was still thinking about how to deal with Philip. “The rabbit’s storage space must be very valuable. If I spread the news about it, everyone will mess with that rabbit and save me the effort!” Thinking of this, Sadie thought she was very smart and was eager to put the plan into action. After thinking about it, Sadie contacted several families who were on go
“What are you guys doing here? Don’t you have anything better to do?” Rabbit asked bluntly. This arrogant rabbit was even more outspoken after staying with Aslan for so long. The Claude family felt offended. “My child, do you have a storage space? How did you get it? Can you tell me more?” Cameron ignored Rabbit but asked Ronan excitedly, eager to find out the situation. Ronan nodded calmly. “It’s just a storage space. Stop kicking up a fuss over it. My space is not very big, just enough to contain this house at most. It’s not a big deal,” he said pretentiously. Hearing that, Philip silently gave him a thumbs-up. He did not forget Ronan’s exaggerated expression when he first saw the size of the storage space. Surprisingly, Ronan got into the role so quickly. Philip thought he was a good actor. Ronan's casual remarks nearly caused everyone a mental breakdown. They were shocked as if they heard something incredible. “What? Is the space that big?” Cameron coughed violently.
“You can form a bond with the ring. Once that’s done, no one can take it away from you. It’ll belong to you forever.” Philip’s explanation reassured Ronan, and he finally accepted the gift from Philip with confidence. Although Ronan was strong, he was not arrogant to the point of being ignorant. If someone could take it from him, he would rather not have it. Although it was gratifying to own one, it would be painful to lose it after having it. With Philip’s affirmation, Ronan fidgeted with the ring happily and wanted to express his gratitude. Philip simply waved his hand without dwelling on it. “That’s enough. Go explore the storage space on your own. I believe it’ll help you greatly. “Since they’re so interested in Rabbit's storage space, you should show it off to them. I believe they’ll immediately hold you in high regard and maybe they’ll deal with those arrogant guys in the family.” Philip was excited at this mean trick and laughed when he thought of those people’s ugly
“This tea is amazing. I feel different with just one cup.” Cameron picked up the teapot to pour himself another cup of tea but it was empty. “Is that all you have?” Cameron smacked the table angrily. He was very annoyed and believed that they had stolen his tea. The man in the lead told Cameron his discovery. “We wanted to get rid of Philip, but we found this pot of tea in his room. We were very curious, so we took a sip, and the amazing effects surprised us! “We wanted to test it for poison, but we quickly brought it to you after discovering the powerful effects!” His explanation was so sound that no one could find any flaws. “The tea is good, but it's a pity that there’s only one sip. I wonder if Philip has the tea leaves.” Cameron’s mind raced. He was eager to have more of it. “We tied Philip up. Should we search his body?” They were eager to deal with Philip. Everyone yearned for that amazing tea. Cameron shook his head. He did not think that Philip would carry it
“This tea is simply amazing. I’m surprised that Philip is lucky enough to find this treasure!” “By the way, why is Philip alone? Where's that rabbit?” Everyone looked around but saw no signs of the rabbit and had to give up. In the end, only a mouthful of tea was left in the pot. After much deliberation, they decided to give it to the patriarch. After all, it was a rare treasure! They quickly tied Philip up. Once Philip lost his freedom, they had nothing to worry about. They wanted to take credit for their finding and let the family know about this rare treasure.… Meanwhile, Cameron was in his room, thinking about how to carry out the competition. He had just finished talking with Ronan and was in a good mood. He was surprised by Ronan’s attitude. Ronan did not hold a grudge against them and desperately wanted to join their family, which was simply too good to be true. More importantly, Ronan was strong enough to win the competition for them. Cameron did not care whet
At this moment, Philip noticed something unusual and realized that someone had sneaked into his yard. He was amused that someone dared to mess with him. “Surround this area while I poison him. After he’s dead, don’t forget to bring the rabbit along with us. It’s best if we can figure out the rabbit’s secret. If not, just silence the rabbit too!” The person taking the lead explained the plan. He was none other than Sadie’s husband. For the sake of his position in the family and his son, he had to take the risk. Philip was enjoying his premium spiritual tea, and that fragrance could not be concealed at all. Very soon, the intruders smelled the fragrance and followed their noses to find the source. “Do you smell something fragrant? I feel that my strength has improved after a whiff of this smell!” “I feel refreshed with just one whiff as if my ailment has been relieved. That ailment has been bothering me for years. This is amazing!” Everyone was excited as they tracked the s
Cameron never thought that he would lose to a rabbit in an argument. After a brief silence, he finally decided to ignore the matter for the time being. Since the treasures were in Rabbit’s hands, he had to talk to Ronan about the competition. “Ronan, come with me. I want to tell you about the competition. Your friend can stay. We’ll treat him with the utmost courtesy!” Cameron invited Ronan kindly while signaling to everyone. As long as Ronan was not around, they could attack and even kill Philip on the spot. Philip would be useless once they figured out Rabbit’s secret. If Ronan asked, they could say that Philip decided to leave. Anyway, they had all sorts of excuses to take care of this. Ronan glanced at Philip and walked to the conference hall. Ronan knew that he had to deal with these people himself. Philip was only here to give him courage. Philip gave him a reassuring look and returned to the house. He was interested in the competition, so he wanted to figure out
“Are you talking about this rabbit? He’s not my pet. He belongs to my friend.” Ronan shrugged. He wanted such a pet, but he was not good enough. Hearing that, Cameron's face turned pale. Although the rabbit was an additional benefit, he never thought that he would fail to get it. Cameron glared at Philip. He did not have a good impression of Philip. Philip looked like a troublemaker. He suspected that Philip had influenced Ronan into making things difficult for them. Cameron wanted to drive Philip away, but Ronan abruptly said that this matter was related to Philip. Before he could weigh the pros and cons, Cameron decided to hide his emotions. At least, he could not reveal his dislike for Philip. “I see. Your friend seems like a casual practitioner. Why don't he consider joining our family? For your sake, I can give him the same treatment and allow the two of you to take part in the competition as representatives of the family. I believe you’ll do your best and won’t let me
