“I think we should go out and find out more about this world. I can’t avenge my family at my current level. It's better to improve myself and make preparations for it.” Philip almost applauded Katie’s suggestion. He did not expect that she was a girl with such substance. Katie knew that she was very weak so she decided to prepare for it instead of looking for trouble now. “In that case, let's take a look around. It’s not too late to go after them once we find out more. We’ll definitely take care of them. You don't have to worry about this. We have a common enemy. I’m just afraid you couldn’t wait,” Philip said with a smile. Philip exchanged contact information with Marina and agreed they would not take revenge for the time being. Marina had things to deal with, so they went their separate ways. “You’ll find a large city if you head in this direction. The city is quite prosperous and filled with different races. By the way, it's best to disguise your appearance.” Marina poin
“Let’s put that aside for now and talk about it after our situation recovers. The world of the gods is not big. I believe Philip can understand the situation soon. He may be disappointed by then,” Marina said seriously after sorting out her emotions. Now that her family was not around, Marina had to take charge. The others nodded without a word. They knew that they had to avenge this. Maybe everyone would have been killed or injured if Philip had not been there. Philip was hurrying along the way with his people and could not care less about the mermaids’ thoughts. With Marina's reminder, they knew that they had to abandon their human identity for now. In that case, they could pretend to be monster beasts because they already had some in the team. “Okay, you can show off your ears or tails from now on, the weirder the better. The world of the gods isn’t short of monsters anyway,” Philip said. Everyone sprang into action with great relish. It was quite fun. As they hurrie
“This auction seems quite upscale to have the local authorities maintain order.” Philip marveled as he led everyone into the city, which was very crowded with people moving in one direction. Everyone was clearly here to attend the auction so Philip followed the crowd into a huge palace. “Wow, this place is so extravagant. I feel like a villager who has never seen the world,” Aslan marveled at this luxurious place. Since they did not have an invitation letter or proof of assets, they were assigned the lowest tier. There was nothing but some stools at the lowest venue, which looked empty and frigid. “This is too much. People who have no right to enter the venue are not even worthy of a cup of tea,” Philip sighed with emotion. Philip smiled brightly as he observed the surroundings. Sure enough, they saw no humans. The other guests looked weird but not ugly, definitely not as disgusting as the merfolk. “I can tell at a glance that you come from a remote village. You don't
Seeing the other party’s appearance, Philip asked in mock surprise, “Why does this person look like a human? I thought there were no humans now. Why is he here?” Before Philip finished speaking, the man smothered his mouth as if Philip just mentioned some taboo. “Watch your words. That guy isn’t someone to be trifled with. “Back then, the humans left many descendants in the world of the gods, and this man is just one of them. Maybe you have heard of those ugly merfolk, but some lucky ones inherited the good genes between races. “Only those who have inherited good genes can wander around so openly. Ugly things like the merfolk have no right to appear in our world.” After chatting with the other party, Philip finally understood the situation. The people in this world were obsessed with appearance! No wonder he did not see any traces of the merfolk along the way. They had been exiled because they were too ugly. The genes that failed to produce a good match had no right to en
The old man was an appraiser with a distinguished status in this auction house. Nothing would go wrong with the things he appraised. When he received the items that Philip put up for auction, he frowned in disbelief and looked at the things in his hands over and over again. “What is this?” He looked very doubtful as if he could not believe that someone would auction such things. “Mr. Wind, what’s wrong? Did someone send something weird to play a prank on you again? These people are really interesting, sending in some junk to pass off as treasures for the auction.” Seeing Elio Wind's awful expression, other appraisers joked and thought that someone had to be playing a prank on them again. “No, no one is pranking us this time. These things are the real deal.” He carefully held Philip’s items in his hands and studied them carefully as if he had seen some treasure. “This can be considered a B-grade high-quality weapon. It's almost perfect, just shy of reaching the next level.”
Soon, the higher-ups at the auction house knew about the weapon, and everyone was very excited. Everyone wanted to take it for themselves. It would be great if they owned such a weapon. It was not only an honor to have the same weapon as the true god but also a symbol of status. Thinking of this, the higher-ups were eager to attend the auction. The appraisal had just begun, and the other items had not been appraised yet. “By the way, stop dwelling on that item and look at other things instead. What if he has other good things on hand? We would've discovered a hidden talent this time.” Elio calmly picked up Philip’s pill and studied it. “Isn’t this the favorite plaything of humans? I've heard it's called a pill, but I’ve never seen one in circulation. Ever since humans were banned, I’ve never heard anything more about it.” Everyone was quite knowledgeable and could tell its origin. “I don’t think it can hold a candle to our potions. Humans have never promoted pills, so t
Everyone examined Beck and found no problem. The result could not be faked. There was no way Beck was making things up about the pill. Besides, no one knew who provided the pill, so a cover-up was not possible. Therefore, the pill was genuine with no problem with it. The effects of Philip’s pills were the same as described, so they only tested one pill. They knew how precious these pills were. “Let the host promote these items. The highlight of our auction tonight will be the pills.” Beck immediately decided. With his experience and foresight, he knew the sensation this would cause. Everyone quietly waited for the auction to start. Suddenly, the beautiful auctioneer walked out and looked at everyone in disbelief. “I have good news for everyone. This time, we've received some very powerful weapons and medicines to heal our bodies, so we’ll be adding some items to the auction tonight.” Despite the announcement, they did not clearly state what they would add. They planned
No one thought highly of the stone but felt exasperated instead. “The function of the stone is nothing more than ripping off some money, just like everything else. I believe the lapdogs are looking forward to it.” Aslan only thought it was a complete waste of money and could not see anything special about it. Philip shook his head. He felt that this stone contained a special power. Moreover, Rabbit was fidgeting in his arms as if it wanted to get this thing. “No matter what, we have to buy that thing. We won’t make a loss either way.” Philip had many spirit mines, so buying it posed no problem. He could easily wipe the place clean if he wanted to. Besides, he had put some valuable things up for auction as a guarantee. He was sure he could get some good things in exchange. Philip quickly bought the stone. The audience was not interested in it, so Philip won it with one bid. At this time, an employee of the auction house took out Philip’s pills from the pile of auction it
Jamie was surprised by Philip’s easygoing reaction and immediately felt the gap between him and Philip. If Jamie were in Philip’s shoes, he would be worried, but Philip was confident instead. Jamie had a lot to learn from Philip. Jamie had no idea that Philip did not take Dennis seriously at all. Philip had too many capable people under his command. He was not concerned about Dennis at all. In comparison, Dennis could be considered the most useless person under him.… On the other hand, Rabbit arrived at the market. Rabbit was quite famous among the major families by now. As a non-human with a violent temper, he was in the center of attraction wherever he went. Someone tried to kidnap Rabbit once, but not only did he fail, but the person was also beaten badly. To this day, the kidnapper was still bedridden in the hospital. Rabbit’s notorious reputation had spread far and wide, and not just anyone could deal with him. At this time, many storytellers were at the tavern tal
People in seclusion would usually not receive any news from the outside world, so contacting them would be up to luck. Therefore, Lincoln's appearance was good news for the Hexa Guild. Now that the guild was under scrutiny, Lincoln's appearance would save them a lot of trouble. Lincoln stood on the spot, looking at the yard curiously. Philip had modified the yard, so it was full of energy. Any practitioner would feel the difference at once. Jamie and the others had discovered this fact but never asked out of courtesy. Everyone had their own secret. Maybe this was Philip’s secret. Lincoln closed his eyes and felt the abundant energy. He was reluctant to leave this place that contained tens of thousands of times more energy than the place he had chosen for his seclusion. Lincoln felt conflicted. He could practice much faster in this place if the energy level remained the same. Thinking of this, he could hardly contain his excitement to practice on the spot. Seeing Jamie nex
Lincoln had never met a monster beast with intelligence! After taking a closer look at Rabbit, Lincoln had other ideas. Philip was most likely a powerful person with extraordinary strength to have such a powerful monster beast as his pet. Dennis was not a fool. Philip had to be powerful and not a coward for Dennis to willingly follow him. Thinking of this, Lincoln showed Rabbit enough respect. “Mr. Rabbit, I’m looking for Dennis from the Hexa Guild.” The guild members behind him were full of disbelief at his courtesy. They had served him for a while and knew his character very well. Lincoln would never be so polite to ordinary juniors, so this rabbit had to be unusual. Thinking of this, their attitude toward Rabbit changed from disdain to admiration. Rabbit was shocked by their eccentric behavior and looked at them skeptically. Seeing their smiling faces, Rabbit decided not to make things difficult for them. Besides, they were polite. “Oh, you’re looking for Dennis. Come
This guild member could not forget how Hogster had always stolen his resources by force. Hogster’s ugly face made him sick. Although Lincoln was back, he had lost all confidence in the guild. He just wanted to return to Dennis' side as soon as possible. Although he was a member under the guild leader, Dennis was the one who had been helping him all along. In fact, if not for Dennis’ support over the years, even Alain would not have achieved what he had today. Hence, this guild member had always been grateful to Dennis. When Dennis left, he wanted to leave with him, but due to special circumstances, he stayed until now. Unexpectedly, it came in handy. Alain was excited to hear that. In Alain's opinion, such a lowly member would not dare to lie to him, so he had to be telling the truth. He knew that this was his chance to settle everything once and for all. Alain had been worried that Lincoln would blame him, but Lincoln was deceived instead, which was great. He had nothing t
Lincoln had a very good reputation, so the guild members dropped their guard and started to complain about everything. “Grandmaster, we've been having a hard time. Hogster always deducts our practice resources and gives them to the women he likes. It’s infuriating. We don’t even have that many resources to begin with,” a member said miserably. He had good talent, but Hogster did not give him any good resources, so his level remained stagnant. All his resources had been given to the women who had caught Hogster’s fancy. Lincoln scowled upon hearing this. How could Hogster take other people’s resources? He would not allow this to happen. “They also tried every means to arrange a political marriage with the Celestial Palace, but the agreement fell through, and they badmouthed the other party for it!” “They defamed the young lady of the guild, and now, they're furious at us. Their wrath is not a joke. Moreover, someone solved the side effects of their practice technique, but we'v
If Philip was at fault, Lincoln had nothing to say. However, if Hogster was the one who had caused all the trouble, he would not spare them. “I’ll get to the bottom of this. Now, tell me what’s going on with Dennis. Based on my understanding of him, he wouldn't betray the guild for no reason. He must have a reason for doing this!” Neither of them could explain what happened to Dennis. They could only say that humans were fickle. After all, they could not figure it out either. The person at fault would never admit their fault. Alain did not think that he was biased or thought that what he had done was excessive. He simply thought that Dennis looked down on him, which was why he decided to leave. Now that he was gone, Alain could say whatever he wanted, and Dennis could not defend himself. Thinking of this, Alain was very excited. He began to defame Dennis and shifted the attention away from him and his son. Lincoln scowled as he listened. Then, he returned to his room and summ
Alain was helpless. Although he had a lot to say, he could not do anything in front of Lincoln. Lincoln was stronger than him in every aspect, a force to be reckoned with. He was not someone Alain could deal with. Alain looked at Lincoln awkwardly. He wanted to appease his anger but did not know what to say. “You need to explain this to me. Why did Dennis leave? And I want to know why the guild’s reputation has become so bad. Did you do something wrong?”Lincoln heard that Dennis had been expelled and could no longer stay in the guild. Many people supported Dennis, so they were upset with Alain and tried to defame him. Hearing that, Alain knew that someone must have been talking behind his back, but he did not dare to lose his temper. He forced a smile and looked at Lincoln in a flattering manner. Before he could find an excuse, Hogster rushed over excitedly and said to his father, “Father, guess what I did to Philip? Hehe!” Hogster recounted his handiwork smugly without p
It had been years since the grandmaster went into seclusion for practice. He was not concerned about power. He once mentioned that he would not leave his seclusion unless he reached the top. Hence, no one expected to see him. “Grandmaster, you appeared at the right time. We would've been in trouble if you didn't come out!” “That’s right. Everyone is bullying us. Now that you’re out, you can help us.” Everyone complained about their grievances, feeling sorry for themselves. The Hexa Guild was in trouble, and they faced various problems too. All the major guilds were keeping a close eye on the Hexa Guild, waiting to see them make a fool of themselves. The Celestial Palace planned to destroy the Hexa Guild instead of letting them off. They could not accept the initial setup, so they decided to erase the Hexa Guild from existence. Hence, the Hexa Guild had been under great pressure, with the members wishing that someone could help them. Unexpectedly, a strong expert appeared.
Ronan was his buddy, and his wife's reputation was at stake. Philip could not stand idly by. He had to help. Jamie was very fast at ordering his people to make the matter public. No one expected another dramatic turn of events. Everyone thought that the young lady of the Celestial Palace was an unchaste woman for making that decision. Unexpectedly, the Celestial Palace found a way to solve the side effects of their technique. All the major guilds were in trepidation. Although the Celestial Palace’s technique was very powerful, the side effects reduced its allure. Now that that problem was solved, everything was different. On top of that, the holy maiden and other members of the guild showed their appearance in public. Regardless of gender, everyone was beautiful without any markings on their faces. After seeing this scene, everyone knew that the Celestial Palace was about to make a comeback. Carlos was very excited and thought that Vanna was a lucky star to bring so many
