As the black sheep of the family, Arachne had no right to step outside. She probably would not have had the chance to leave if she had not tagged along this time. “Everything should've been mine, but that wretch stole them from me! I must regain what belongs to me. No one can stop me!” Arachne looked at the grand town and vowed to succeed at all costs. She would have a chance to leave after dealing with Ariadna.… Meanwhile, the competition was in full swing, and the Claude family was done for. Everything was over for them. Not only did they lose the business opportunity, but their family was also destroyed. Cameron rushed to Ronan angrily. He knew that Ronan had set him up. “Ronan, you need to give me a reasonable explanation for this matter!” Cameron forced his anger down and glared at Ronan. It was bad enough that Ronan lost the match for no reason, but he also stepped forward and admitted that he was not as good as his opponent before they could defend him. He was clea
“This is embarrassing. Patriarch, please stop talking. Their mockery will only get nastier!” “Things are bad enough. Don’t make it worse!” The Claude family left in a panic. Since they had lost the competition, there was no point in staying. Seeing everyone’s reaction, Cameron felt that his effort was meaningless. He snorted coldly and fled, refusing to think about his embarrassment. Philip laughed at his disgrace. Ronan had achieved his objective and fulfilled his wish. More importantly, the Claude family was ruined, not only losing their place of residence but also their reputation. After the Claude family left in disgrace, they bumped into the spider people who just arrived. The spider people were wandering around, finding the place very interesting. Everyone wanted to stay and refused to leave. Cameron was in a bad mood and did not pay attention to them. Coincidentally, Arachne and Sadie bumped into each other. Sadie was annoyed by this incident. She was reprima
Everyone was shocked to hear that Philip was the woman’s boss. Ariadna heard their names, but she never thought a random person they met on the street would be Philip’s subordinate. It was too much of a coincidence. When they wanted to find out more, the woman had disappeared, and everyone was annoyed. Although she had run off, they managed to get a lead. “We just need to go there to find Philip,” Webster said, easing the atmosphere. Arachne and Ariadna were at loggerheads, which was not conducive to unity. Now that they had a common enemy, they had to put other affairs aside and deal with the enemy. “Huh, what are you talking about? Common enemy? I just want to see what he looks like. Who knows if she was telling the truth? Besides, I just want to mess with that ugly woman, not the boss behind her!” Although Arachne was a little arrogant, she was sensible enough to perceive the situation. Others did not comment. Now that they knew Philip’s location, there was no need to
It would be great if the Wagner family could make a name for themselves in the following competition, so they wanted to please Philip. “I’m not interested in training other people’s men.” Philip declined the other party’s request. At this time, Ronan approached Philip excitedly. “I sense that woman’s presence.” Philip nodded. He felt it too. That spider woman was fast approaching them. “She should take on a human form while we’re in a human city,” Philip muttered to himself. He was afraid that she would transform at the slightest disagreement. Although Philip was not opposed to spiders, he could not imagine what the spider woman looked like in her true form. She should be much more terrifying than he imagined. Meanwhile, the spider people arrived at the scene and saw Philip standing in the crowd at a glance. Philip's appearance was so stunning that Ariadna recognized him from a distance. “The most handsome man standing in the crowd is Philip, who's our target this tim
However, Philip treated the rabbit with such nonchalance, which filled them with envy. “Are you here for this rabbit?” Philip was puzzled. In his opinion, there was nothing special about Rabbit. Therefore, he wondered why Ariadna wanted Rabbit at the cost of her life. Although he did not have a good impression of Ariadna, he still felt that it was not worth it. Ariadna stared at Philip without answering his question because her actions should say it all. She would not bother to please him if it were not for the rabbit. “I know you’re very interested in Rabbit, but he’s my friend. I won’t let you take him for no reason.” Philip gave her a side-eye and marveled at her audacity. “As far as I know, what you mentioned about absorbing his energy is simply killing him in a different way.” Philip glanced at her in exasperation. Since she was clearly going to kill Rabbit, how could he hand Rabbit to her? Ariadna turned her head away in shame. Indeed, the creatures would die after lo
Arachne was baffled by their bizarre interaction. “Hey, tell me what’s going on. Do you have a connection with that woman?” Ronan pinned Arachne down when she finished speaking. A kid sucking a lollipop stood next to Philip, watching everything curiously. The spider people were angry to see Ronan pinning Arachne down and swarmed forward, ready to teach Philip a lesson. Some people set their sights on the kid. In their opinion, the kid had to be very important for Philip to keep him by his side. Thus, one guy rushed up and grabbed the kid sucking a lollipop, feeling proud of himself. “Let go of our people or we’ll show you what misery is!” In his opinion, the kid was probably Philip’s son. No one would let their kid get hurt, so Philip would definitely give in to their request. Just when he thought his plan would definitely succeed, Philip shrugged. “You’re so dumb. You might as well grab Rabbit from me.” The kid probably felt some pain, so he was very annoyed. With the lo
“Okay, since you’re willing to talk to us, we’ll oblige. I have many questions for you!” Ariadna was very excited. If possible, she wanted to avoid a fight too. She was also curious about the woman who appeared next to Philip earlier. Although Ariadna did not know her background, she found her strange. The woman gave Ariadna a sense of familiarity, as if they had the same origin. “I want to meet the woman who was with you earlier.” Ariadna looked at Philip expectantly, expressing her interest. “Why do you want to meet her?” Philip was puzzled and surprised by her request. “I sense something familiar about her.” Unlike Selma, Ariadna did not recognize the other's identity and had no idea where she came from. “Come with me. You’ll see her soon.” Philip smiled and led Ariadna to Selma’s place. Selma was quietly waiting for Philip and was so hung up that she did not run her business. The diners who wanted to catch a glimpse of Selma at all costs felt a great blow. At this tim
“Your friend seems unhappy with you,” Philip said aloud without mincing his words. Ariadna felt embarrassed upon hearing that. It was a conflict within their clan, so it was embarrassing for an outsider like Philip to point it out. At this time, Selma walked out and looked at the crowd in confusion, wondering why Philip brought them to her home. However, Philip had to have his reason for doing it. Selma did not ask but stood next to Philip like an obedient girl. Ariadna was jealous at this scene. An outstanding man like Philip was rare. Everyone wanted to stand by his side. “She wanted to see you, so I brought her. Although I don't know what you have to talk about, you should have a chat. “I can help you solve the problem of not absorbing Rabbit’s energy, but you need to give me something in return. I can't help you for no reason. After all, we have nothing to do with each other.” After saying that, Philip left the space for Selma and Ariadna. Although they were not of the
“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
“I won’t be joining your guild, but I don’t mind being a spectator. At least I can watch the fun. I know that you’re quite strong, so you don’t need me. As long as nothing unexpected happens, I don’t think you’ll face a problem.” Philip smiled indifferently, quite confident that nothing much would happen. The overall strength of the Celestial Palace had improved significantly, so they really had nothing to worry about. Jamie was relieved to hear that. In that case, he could rest assured.… The guild competition officially kicked off, and everyone was ready to battle it out. The battles were not something that simply required strength to resolve. Occasionally, the competitors required tactics too. As Alain was feeling anxious, his reinforcement finally arrived at the scene. The hooded man turned up with some potions, ready to carry out his task. “Hey, you’re finally here. I thought I wouldn’t see you again.” Alain was worried. He knew that he was in a precarious situati
“Father, what happened to you? Don’t scare me!” Hogster sat by Alain’s bedside and asked in a panic. Hogster would not have been worried about Alain in the past, but things were different now. They were facing various crises. Without his father to take care of things, they would be doomed. Alain coughed violently and fumbled around for some healing pills before stuffing them into his mouth. The pills were not useful for his injuries but could at least relieve his pain. After Alain took the pills, Hogster hugged him excitedly. “This is great! I thought you were about to drop dead.” Alain almost died in anger over his son’s remark. “Hogster, you have to take part in the competition on behalf of the guild. This is the best chance for you to become stronger. You’ll make a name for yourself if you do this.” Alain held Hogster's hand and placed all his hopes on him. Hearing that, Hogster said awkwardly, “Father, although I’m quite strong, you can’t do this to me! How am I suppose
The rabbit had a very expressive face as if it was watching Alain make a fool of himself. “You’re quite the smooth talker. If you have more words of encouragement, let’s hear them.” Hay dangled from Rabbit's mouth, and he seemed disdainful. Alain seemed conflicted at the sight of Rabbit and felt like he was looking at Philip instead. “Why are you here?” This rabbit was weird, and no one could control it. As far as Alain knew, the rabbit was famous in major cities and good at picking fights. “Of course, I’m here to teach you a lesson. Do you think I traveled this far to buy you a meal?” After saying this, Rabbit jumped up and kicked Alain, who started spitting mouthfuls of blood. Alain was strong in his own right, so there was no way he would be helpless against an attack. However, he simply could not resist Rabbit and could only suffer a beating. The guild members in the surroundings closed their eyes, feeling sorry for their guild leader. No one thought they could win th
It seemed that Alain had overestimated his importance. “Hey, wait a minute. Don't be so hasty. I just want to think about how to make things better. You should know that things are not as simple as you think. If I agree so easily, others might target me.” The hooded man sneered inwardly at Alain’s flattering appearance. He knew that Alain was probably trying to bargain with him. “I thought you wouldn’t consider it, but you seem quite willing to work with us.” The hooded man smiled calmly as if mocking Alain from the bottom of his heart. Although Alain was being ridiculed, he could not say a word. The hooded man held the reins, so Alain had no choice but to obey. “I don’t mind this cooperation, but we need to plan this thoroughly. If you can help my guild to make a comeback in this competition, I can agree to your condition. Since you found me, you should know the trouble my guild is facing right now. Philip and his people are messing with us, and the Celestial Palace is keepi
Alain was a smart man and quickly grasped the key point. It seemed that this man was here to help him. “Tell me what you want. Stop wasting my time. If you’re here to help me, let’s have an open discussion.” Alain was no longer nervous and stared at the other party calmly. Hearing that, the hooded man smiled smugly. “I know that your guild is facing a crisis. I can help you with that. I can get rid of all your problems and also ensure that your guild scores victory. Although I can't guarantee that you’ll win the championship, taking one of the top spots won’t be a problem.” The hooded man spoke calmly as if he was confident that Alain would agree. Sure enough, Alain was expectant to hear this man’s offer to help him. At a moment of crisis, it was every man for himself. Right now, no one was willing to help him or lend a helping hand. Alain thought that this was too much of a coincidence. “There’s no such thing as a free lunch. What do you want in return?” Alain knew that
