Although the demons active in the outside world were nothing worth mentioning and could be defeated easily, Drake knew that the true old elites were still hiding behind the scenes. No one would be afraid of the demons when the true gods were still around, but the true gods had been destroyed. Drake enjoyed the massage from his maids while he was lost in his memories. He recalled the battle ten thousand years ago. Ten thousand years ago, the true gods captured all the humans. Being new to this world, the humans did not know much about the true gods, so the latter took advantage of it. Due to the same reason, they fell miserably. Despite that, the humans also put up a tough fight and successfully sealed the true gods, resulting in a draw with both parties sealing each other. As all the powerful true gods had been sealed, some weaker parties created many so-called true gods to ease everyone’s worries. These true gods were meant to deceive the people, so Drake was not worried abo
Philip shook his head. It was too late to develop their force now. Half a month was not enough for them to reassemble their people. “We have the elves and fish creatures on our side, so we won’t face such a tough time, but the demons can employ some weird tricks,” Loony analyzed the situation like a lame strategist with a calm smile on his face. Seeing his dodgy appearance, Philip suddenly wondered if he was really as reliable as he imagined. The voodoo technique Loony learned was indeed powerful, and the demons were proficient in voodoo too, so Loony was the key to dealing with them. “Their dirty methods are endless. I can't wait to get my book back from them. I wonder what they've gleaned from it." Loony was very upset that his book had fallen into their hands. He felt that his book had been sullied by them. “I don’t think you can get the book back from them again. If I had mastered the book, I would've destroyed it to prevent anyone from using it again.” Lyle shook his hea
Moby was full of disdain for those people who kept bragging about their bloodline. Bloodline was important, but power was more important. It was sickening to see those people looking down on other races based on their bloodline when they were not strong enough to back it up. Everyone had always looked down on the fish creatures because of their bloodline. They had endured it for a long time. Philip’s arrival marked their time to rise. They had to show everyone that bloodline was not the most important factor in determining status. “However, the demons are not so easy to deal with. We have to be prepared for a drawn-out war. If I’m not mistaken, they’ll find ways to mess with us soon.” Philip was interested in the Swift family and wanted to find out more about them. “Normal people can’t get in touch with the Swift family. They've maintained the prosperity of the family despite being imprisoned for a long time, which proves their strong foundation." Loony was wary. He knew
At Philip’s level, he could easily escape a carefully planned assassination like that. After the woman returned to the safe base in a hurry, a man appeared in front of her unhappily. “Did you fail your mission?” Although he looked unhappy, there was no anger in his voice. The assassin lowered her head and nodded nervously. She knew that death awaited her upon her failed mission. The other party sighed and said nothing. “This mission was issued by the Swift family. Although you failed your mission, they didn’t blame you, so you won’t suffer any repercussions.” The assassin was surprised to hear the man’s words. She escaped a disaster. “Really? That's great. My target this time is a strong, powerful person. We need to be fully prepared if we have to assassinate him again!” The assassin's name was Scorpio, a professional top-notch killer who rarely failed. However, she was defeated by Philip this time. Scorpio felt a lingering fear at the thought of Philip’s terrifying str
“Speaking of demons, I recall something. Before Rabbit's father died, he had a relic that he wanted to pass down to Rabbit. It was supposedly a valuable treasure that all demons would fight for.” Everyone was startled to hear that. “Something left by my father? Why have I never heard of it? Tell me the details!” Rabbit’s nonchalance was quickly replaced by anxiety. He had always attached great importance to news of his father. He had lost his memory, so he could not remember many things. He had no impression of his father either, which made him sad. “I don't know what your father left for you, but he was very adamant about giving it to you. It was hidden in the depths of the mountain at the time. Although it was said to be a treasure, I always thought it was just a gimmick.” Black Rabbit had always thought that Rabbit's father was an unreliable rabbit. He often used treasures to trick people into helping him. However, the treasures he gave were the real deal, so the rabbits
“I’m surprised that you’re such a devoted lover, but are you sure there’s nothing fishy about it? Humans usually look down on other races. Why would they propose a political marriage?” Lyle expressed his doubts over this matter. There had to be something strange about this. They might suffer a great blow if they rashly opposed the Swift family, but they couldn’t let the Swift family bully the woman of Loony’s dreams either. “I know it’s strange, but I’ve confirmed that the other party is indeed my lover.” They discussed at length but simply could not determine if this was a fraud.… On the other hand, members of the Swift family gathered happily as if there was something worth celebrating. “Are you sure we can trick Loony into coming over with this?” An ugly man looked at Drake with both curiosity and expectation. Drake nodded, excited at the thought that Loony would soon fall into the trap according to his plan. “You have to believe that he’s a man of loyalty and faith,
“Calm down, you’ll have your fun after we deal with Loony. Taking action so quickly is only asking for trouble. We have to keep our cool now.” The ugly man fell silent at Drake’s words. He nodded and forced himself to control his emotions. “I’ll wait for the day, then. I have to commend Loony’s tastes. That woman is quite the catch!"… While Drake planned how to deal with Loony and Philip, Philip was discussing with Loony how to solve this problem. He knew that the Swift family was a force to be reckoned with, but they had to deal with them. Through the conversation, Philip roughly learned the general situation of the human world. All the major families were making a comeback, but the Swift family was the most arrogant among them. Another powerful force was the Spade family. The Spade family had always kept a low profile and had little contact with worldly affairs. They had always frowned upon the Swift family and opposed their crooked ways. After being imprisoned for so m
“We’ll be meeting a young heir of the Spade family. He holds the highest status in the family apart from the head of the family. “I’m sure we can solve the problem as long as we reach an agreement with him. I’m just afraid…” Philip was puzzled by Loony’s hesitation. “What are you worried about? Are you worried that the Spade family won't help you?” Philip was curious. He did not know the Spade family, so he could not predict their reaction. “I’m just afraid that they may be concerned about how this incident will impact them. Although the Spade family resented the Swift family, they've never taken action against them over the years, which proves their caution. Now that things have escalated, I’m not sure if the Spade family will agree to our proposition.” Philip nodded. It was certainly worth consideration, but they could only find out after a talk with them. Philip was not worried about it. If they were willing to cooperate, both parties could form a strong alliance, but it
Anyone with any ideas could only shake their heads helplessly after hearing Philip’s remarks. At the same time, they were amazed by the ring’s function. “Wow, that’s great. The person who made this thing must be a genius!” Cameron clapped his hands excitedly. Of course, he was worried that someone would steal his treasure. After all, owning a treasure was a sin in itself. It was inevitable for others to covet his treasure. It would be bad if they attacked him because of greed. With Philip’s explanation, his trouble would be reduced. “That sounds amazing.” The patriarch of the Lamy family seemed dissatisfied. He had some crooked thoughts too. With their family’s financial resources, they could not buy so many rings, so he planned to steal the other two as well. He was not that stupid to steal from Philip, so he could only set his sights on the other major families. Everyone wanted the rings anyway. As long as he refused to admit it, no one would know that he was guilty.
It was too much to use half of the family's assets and properties in exchange for one storage space. “Are you sure about this? Do you know how much that would cost?” “The Lamy family must be crazy to go all out for this treasure!” Everyone complained helplessly. They might be in trouble if the Lamy family insisted on doing it this way. “I know you guys can’t afford it, so stop wasting your time. The Lamy family has made an offer. If you can up the price, go ahead. Don’t stop us from buying that treasure!” the patriarch of the Lamy family said smugly. He felt that his offer was high enough and no one could afford it, so this thing would definitely belong to him. Even Ronan was surprised by this development. He had heard of the Lamy family before. Ronan had worked for the Lamy family before, but their attitude toward him was the same as that of other families—indifferent and disdainful. Therefore, Ronan had the same bad impression about everyone. The Lamy family was not
Rather than saying that they were unwilling to believe it, it was more likely that they did not dare to believe it. Ronan calmly put the ring aside. “I'm wearing a ring that looks better than the ones you're about to get. Watch this.” After saying that, Ronan demonstrated to everyone what a real storage space could do. Anything he took in his hand vanished and appeared at will, which looked simply amazing. Everyone was jealous at this scene. They stared at Ronan’s hands nervously, trying to see if he was performing a magic trick or showing off the storage ring. After Ronan's many demonstrations, they finally confirmed that Ronan was not lying. Everything was true. Everyone exclaimed in amazement. “Wow, I can’t believe that I really saw a storage space in action!” “It’s amazing!” “I have to get hold of one!” Although Sadie had been dealt a heavy blow, she hid in a corner and observed the situation instead of leaving. She wanted to see how things would develop. When S
“Heh, look at those crazy family patriarchs. They can't wait to suck up to Ronan! Do you think they’ll question the Claude family after hearing about the storage space? They’ll only turn up in person to find out about it! “With so many of them putting pressure on us, what do you think we can do? Now, we may not even get that amazing storage space because there are too many people competing with us!” Cameron was furious and almost passed out in anger because of this stupid woman. Sadie scowled at the yard in disbelief as she realized that the crowd causing the commotion was the patriarchs of the other major families. She thought that they were servants sent by the families, but everything was different from what she imagined. “How did this happen? I planned everything perfectly. We just need to throw the wool over their eyes. Things shouldn't have turned out like this!” Sadie almost had a mental breakdown at this bad news. “No way. This is impossible…” Seeing the family
“Forget it. I won't talk to you anymore. I want to claim the credit for what I’ve done!” Sadie quickly turned and left. The butler wanted to stop her, but she vanished before he could say anything. In the end, he remained silent. “The plan really backfired on her. Unfortunately, she can only blame it on her bad luck.” The butler knew the situation the family was facing now. Their residence would probably be turned upside down. The Claude family could have owned a storage space, but everything was ruined now. Not only would they fail to get one, but others would also humiliate them! Sadie quickly arrived at the yard and rolled her eyes at the crowd. “Dad, over here!” Sadie beckoned her father excitedly as if she had great news for him. Cameron was very anxious at this point and wished he could find a solution. When Sadie called him, he thought his solution had appeared. He rushed over and looked at Sadie curiously. “What’s up? Is there any good news?” He was very excited
Everyone was excited to hear that Ronan had those legendary items. It was great. “Our family has to get one!” The patriarch of the Lamy family was the most excited. The members of this family had always been strong-headed and were determined to get it. The other families were unhappy to hear that. They were not that bad either, so they were annoyed by that high-handed remark. “All the major families are powerful in our own rights. I think there’s no need to conclude so quickly.” “I agree. I’m afraid you’ll hide and cry if you fail to get one. That'll be embarrassing.” “Even the major families are not confident about this. Who do you think you are to get it?” Everyone targeted the swell-headed Lamy family even though they were indeed big and powerful enough to steal the treasure from them. The Claude family was the most excited yet regretful. Instead of feeling happy that the families were bickering with each other, they were worried. Although the families were fighting
Besides, Philip mentioned that he would help Ronan make a name for himself. The storage rings that Philip provided were quite meager, with only 30 to 70 cubic feet of storage space each. However, that did not stop Ronan from admiring Philip. He knew that Philip had various treasures, but he was willing to share them with Ronan, which was too generous for words. To prevent Ronan from getting the short end of the stick, Philip also provided some common things for doing business. Due to this, Ronan wanted to serve Philip. In their world, the best way to express gratitude was to acknowledge the other party as their master. It was not only to seize the opportunity but also to find a good roof over their head. Thinking of this, Ronan did not dare to call Philip his brother anymore. Ronan decided to approach Philip at night and find a way to acknowledge him as his master so that he could serve Philip wholeheartedly. Philip had no idea about Ronan’s thoughts. He was still think
Everything Rabbit owned, including the storage space and various treasures, was given by Philip. So, Rabbit could come up with some amazing things for these people to please him. Rabbit felt very proud of this accomplishment. “Ahem, everyone, follow me! I know you’re eager to see Philip, but you have to follow the rules. Don't be as rude as the Claude family!” Rabbit said calmly. He was very unhappy with the Claude family. Hearing that, members of the Claude family were livid. They were shocked by Rabbit's words. He was deliberately putting them down! Those remarks were likely to affect their status among the major families. That off-handed tone might cause other major families to reject them. “I’m surprised that this family would be so arrogant and disrespect you!” “How could they treat that precious storage space so carelessly? I say, those people are too bold to disregard such a valuable treasure!” “This family is stupid and arrogant. Let's ignore them to avoid any ass
However, Cameron and his people were arrogant enough to lock Philip up. How dare they?! “Cameron, you went too far!” “I never knew that the Claude family were such people. I really misjudged you before. You’re really too much for treating such an amazing person that way.” Everyone pretended to be angry and kept speaking up for Philip, trying to please Rabbit and indirectly please Philip. Cameron was startled by Rabbit’s words, which easily landed him in trouble. “No, that's not exactly the case. I didn't lock Philip up but gave him a place to stay. How would I dare to lock up such a powerful person? You really think too highly of me.” However, Cameron’s explanation was useless. Everyone believed that Cameron locked Philip up on purpose, so they wanted to get him into trouble. Whether Cameron locked Philip up or treated Philip as a valuable guest, they wanted to ruin Cameron’s reputation. Once they got rid of Cameron, they could focus on pleasing Philip. “You must be
