“Please excuse my ignorance, but these are very good. I want to let my family try some!” He only ate a few bites and felt good all over. He was sure he would evolve if he ate more. Philip was surprised to see his guest liking the herbs so much. He waved his hand and took more herbs from the Verge Tower space. “You can take these with you too. Is your family here with you?” Philip was surprised by the other party’s earnestness. The minotaur felt very happy with Philip’s gesture and felt a sense of loyalty to him. If anyone dared to say anything bad about Philip, he would definitely fight the other party. “You’re so generous. These are good enough. I just want to show them to my family. I wonder why we can't grow such spiritual herbs.” The minotaur could not wait to figure it out. Philip shrugged helplessly. He had no idea how to grow them either. Verge Tower was full of weeds that Philip never took notice of, and no one around him was interested either. Philip could give the
The minotaur quickly took his leave and returned home. Philip shook his head helplessly at his hasty departure. “That minotaur really has a one-track mind, but he’s quite simple. Maybe the minotaurs will be good teammates.” Philip wanted to take these good people under his wing. Black Rabbit ate the remaining spiritual herbs happily. Philip had never given him such good things to eat before. He always lived on pills. He had fallen in love with these spiritual herbs. His strength would definitely improve by leaps and bounds if he could live on them. Rabbit knew where the herbs came from, so he looked at Black Rabbit in disdain. “You’re such a disgrace.” He had seen these herbs in the Verge Tower space but had never taken any notice of them. Although spiritual herbs were valuable, Philip’s pills were better. He could get more premium herbs for a few pills. Black Rabbit ignored him. He preferred the herbs.… The minotaur returned home. He wanted to share the herbs with hi
Hercules knew that minotaurs were very strong and loyal. More importantly, they would not enter the secular world for no reason. They were a mysterious existence, indeed. It would be great to turn them into human puppets. Hercules had developed his own thoughts. He was no longer the mindless puppet he used to be. However, since human puppets could only remain loyal, he could not do anything except serve the Spade family wholeheartedly. Philip noticed Hercules’ reaction. He had been paying attention to him since he knew that Hercules was a human puppet. Similarly, he had to put on an act with Maven if he wanted to get rid of the Spade family. “You've made the right choice.” Philip smiled and asked Aslan to take care of them while he and Maven went to the Spade family. Brett was getting impatient by now. He knew that Maven was very good at deceiving others, so it was strange that she could not get it done quickly. He never dreamed that Maven had reached an agreement with
Brett patted his chest in assurance and displayed his concern for Maven. After taking care of things, Maven turned and left without another word as if she had lost interest in this matter. Brett was surprised to see Maven leaving so decisively. He was glad at her compliance and the fact that she showed no interest in what they were going to do. “Since you have no interest in competing for the position of the head of the family, I don’t have to keep an eye on you anymore, and we can still work together,” Brett muttered under his breath. It would be perfect if he could develop Maven into one of his own. His path to dominating the world would become smoother with such a powerful person helping him. After Maven left, she returned to her room without any intention of interfering. It was a step in one of their plans to fool the other party into thinking that she had nothing to ask for so that they would drop their guard. In the meantime, Philip stood on the spot in a trance. Br
Maven decided to tell Brett about the minotaurs. “Brett?” Maven went looking for Brett as if she had something important to say. Hearing that, Brett walked over, wondering what Maven had to say. “I almost forgot something important. I saw a minotaur when I took Philip away earlier. “It seems that the minotaur brought his family over and planned to join Philip. What do you think we should do?” Brett was excited by Maven’s news. He never dreamed that he would hear about minotaurs. As someone who grew up among the major families, he knew what minotaurs meant. “If they're really minotaurs, that'd be great!” Brett exclaimed in delight. He invited Maven into his room to discuss it. If she was telling the truth, he had to get hold of the minotaurs. “Are you sure you’re not mistaken? The minotaurs have always been cooped up in their small territory and unwilling to venture out. What made them change their minds?” Maven shrugged in response. “I didn’t have time to ask about it
Brett knocked on the door, which a minotaur opened. Brett was excited at the sight of the minotaur. Sure enough, Maven was telling the truth. There really was a minotaur! “Wonderful!” Brett blurted. The minotaur was puzzled. Why would anyone say that at first sight? Was this person a lunatic? “What are you doing? Are you looking for Philip?” This minotaur was none other than the leader. He knew about the plan and fully supported it. He was angry to find out that Brett was a vain and scheming guy. “I'm here to look for Philip. It’s okay if he's not around. Let me go in and wait for him. I have an appointment with him. He should be back soon.” Brett quickly stepped in through the door as if he would not take no for an answer. The minotaur did not stop Brett. It was part of the plan anyway. “Hehe, just hang around and wait until Philip returns then.” With that, the minotaur turned around and left. He knew that Brett was here for him. “Don't leave. It’s my first time seeing
It was a win-win situation for Brett. Everyone else was exasperated by the Spade family’s plan. Everyone thought that being turned into a puppet was terrible enough, but the Spade family had plans to put them to work on top of that. “Wow, this herb is really good, but you just entered the secular world, so you must be uncomfortable. I have some good things for you. Why don’t we take a look in private?” Brett was very hospitable and acted like a great guy. Everyone looked at him thoughtfully. Brett was obviously up to something. “I don’t mind visiting, but you need to make ample arrangements. Philip has promised to prepare a lot of herbs for us. Although he hasn't fulfilled his promise yet, I believe he can do it,” the minotaur said meaningfully. Brett smiled excitedly at the minotaur’s dumb reaction. “No problem, I’ll make arrangements right away!” Aslan did not get involved. He knew that he had to give them some time. “Will you come with me?” Brett invited the minotaur e
“Don’t worry, everything will be fine now that I’m here! With my help, you can surely survive in this place!” Brett kept promising the minotaur excitedly, wishing he could take the minotaur under his wing immediately. “Hold on, let me inform my family head about this!” Brett planned to attack the minotaur at first, but hearing that he had his family with him, Brett wanted everyone instead. “Okay, I’ll wait.” The minotaur sat aside and waited for Brett. The plan was going well so far. The minotaur suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment. He never thought that he would trick someone one day. In the past, they never interacted with others because they could not outwit them. Meanwhile, Brett headed to his father’s room to inform him about this matter in detail. He knew that this matter would definitely cause a sensation. The minotaurs were a precious commodity to them. “Now that I have the minotaur under control, we just need to ask him to summon his people here, and everything
“Since that’s your request, I’ll oblige.” Philip flew up the stage and quickly landed next to the old monk. Everyone was jealous to see Philip forging a connection with the old monk. Many people at the scene recognized Philip and knew who he was. “Look, isn't that Philip? I can’t believe that the old monk is so interested in Philip. It seems that we can’t take Philip lightly.” “I always thought Philip was a loser, but maybe I’m mistaken.” “He’s on very good terms with the Celestial Palace. Why would you think he was a loser?” Everyone discussed this topic with great interest. Carlos was quite close to Philip, so he felt proud to hear those comments. He knew that everyone was just jealous of Philip. The old monk stretched out his hand and invited Philip to go to his room. Philip nodded at his indication. “You look like a newcomer. Sure enough, the younger generation is taking over the world. For someone at your age to reach this level, you’re certainly a force to be
No one had ever seen the old monk, so they did not know what he was like. Philip and his party soon arrived at Zenith, which looked very grand just like a palace. The large arena in the middle was crowded with people. Everyone was looking at the stage, waiting to pay homage to this legendary old monk. Some people had seen the old monk and heard his lecture in the past. They felt that they had benefited from it, so they arrived early this time to grab a good spot. Others had never seen the old monk, but they knew they would benefit from his lecture about practice. Philip and Carlos squeezed into the middle of the crowd and found seats. Philip was very curious about the old monk and could not wait to see him. Soon, the old monk appeared in front of everyone. He looked very impressive. Seeing his attire, Philip felt that this old man was definitely not an ordinary person. His clothes were very expensive, not something anyone could afford. It was not only in reference to the pr
Rabbit was attacked by the spell before he could react. He stood on the spot blankly, wondering what was going on. Rabbit tried to move when he felt that something was wrong with him. He seemed to have lost control of his body and could not move. “You have no say in this matter. Since you left with me, it means that you've agreed to follow me.” The hooded man was calm. He did not think that Rabbit could escape his clutches easily. After all, the piece of yellow paper was not an ordinary item. He had gone to great lengths to get it. He could control the rabbit’s mind and body fearlessly with that piece of yellow paper. Over time, the rabbit would eventually become his puppet. The hooded man was very excited to think that he would have a powerful helper. Rabbit lost his senses and had no idea what happened. Subconsciously, Rabbit wanted to resist, but he could not for some reason. He could only stand and wait for orders. “Hey, bring me a glass of water,” the hooded man said
“I sense a familiar vibe from you. Where are you from?” Rabbit asked curiously. He had a feeling that this man did not belong to this world. He felt familiar. The man stared at Rabbit while thinking about how to take it away. “I have many secrets. Do you want to know more? Come with me, then. I can give you a good life and help you quickly level up. You can become the best rabbit in existence and stand at the top of this world!” Rabbit hopped over and nodded excitedly. He knew that this person was mysterious and weird, so he wanted to find out more. The hooded man was shocked that this rabbit was dumb enough to leave with him. However, he did not reveal his smugness and just held the rabbit in his arms devoutly. He never thought that he could have such a powerful pet. Thinking of this, he decided to do something to make this rabbit his own. This rabbit had developed intelligence, so it would not agree to become his pet so easily. Rabbit was just leaving with him, but being
The hooded man was very interested in Rabbit and wanted to make contact with him to find out more about him. He quickly found Philip’s house and was surprised to find that it was surrounded by a barrier that blocked all his perceptions, which made him conflicted. It was not a place he could enter at will. He felt some energy fluctuations from formations too. If he was not mistaken, entering this place would be dangerous for him. After much deliberation, he turned around and left without staying any longer. His visit here was enough to verify his guess. Since Philip could come up with such a powerful formation and barrier, he was certainly a force to be reckoned with. At the very least, Philip was not someone he could deal with so easily. As for Rabbit, the hooded man was not bothered by him at all. He just wanted to know how Philip subdued such a powerful pet. The hooded man had dealt with many monster beasts in the past but failed to subdue any. He had even suffered badly un
“Philip's strength mostly comes from his very powerful pet rabbit. Although it's a monster beast, it's a force to be reckoned with. It isn't something anyone can deal with,” Hogster said with lingering fear. He could not forget how Rabbit had beaten Alain to a pulp. “Yes, the rabbit is a force to be reckoned with. You'd better not mess with it for no reason. I really wonder where such a powerful monster beast came from.” Alain seemed very steadfast, but he was already having a mental meltdown. However, he did not want to embarrass himself in public, so he gritted his teeth and hung on. The hooded man looked at Alain and sneered inwardly. He took out a pill from his pocket and handed it to him. “Take this or I’m afraid you’ll collapse soon.” He could notice Alain’s condition at a glance and knew he would not last long. “Forget it. I won’t hide it from you. In fact, the rabbit inflicted all these injuries on me. I wouldn’t be in this miserable state if the rabbit weren’t that
Although the strength of the test subject had increased, he was not highly valued at all because his talent was not affected and did not meet the guild’s requirements. “Okay, you may leave now. Your strength has improved, so make sure to practice hard and don’t let us down,” Alain said grandly, sending the other party away. He knew that this person was nothing but a loser. The guild member who was the test subject had no idea how pathetic he was. Instead, he looked at Alain with excitement and gratitude. Hogster swallowed the potion without hesitation. He quickly felt the changes in his body as if he had become very powerful in just a few seconds. Hogster looked at the hooded man in surprise. He never thought that he could become so strong. “Wow, this is amazing!” Hogster was shocked by this unexpected outcome. His lack of self-esteem was quickly replaced with brimming confidence, and he even had the urge to mess with Philip. In his opinion, Philip was nothing special. Now
“Don’t worry, I mean no harm. That thing is quite good.” The silly member took the potion nervously and looked at Alain expectantly. “Sir, I think I’m getting stronger!” The silly guy showed off his strength excitedly. Alain stepped forward and examined the guild member curiously. Sure enough, his strength had increased. Alain found the increase in strength quite incredible. Moreover, he did not find any side effects on the other party, which was the most surprising. This potion was amazing beyond anyone’s imagination! Alain was very excited and wished he could take it too. “I believe you should know the value of this potion. Just win the competition and stop worrying about the rest.” Alain and the hooded man stepped aside to discuss offering the boys and girls. Hogster was taken aback to hear them. The two quickly reached an agreement as they knew how unethical this transaction was. “Father, you actually agreed to his request! Aren't you afraid that it’ll be expose
By taking the potion, a person could increase their overall strength, and there would be no side effects. It was a miracle potion, indeed. Alain was stunned to hear that. He felt that the hooded man was bragging. How could there be such an amazing potion? “Are you serious? It can’t be that simple.” Alain took the potion from the other party and sized it up, wondering if he should trust this thing. “If you don't believe it, you can give it a try. I don’t mind. You have many people under your command anyway. You can choose to use them as a test subject.” The hooded man was quite cold and aloof in both his actions and speech. Alain nervously clenched the potion tightly. “In that case, I’ll give it a try. Let me find someone.” Alain did not fully trust the hooded man’s words. In his opinion, it was better to play it safe. Who knew if anything would happen? He was nervous about giving something like this to his precious son. At this time, a guild member who was not highly valu
