At present, there were only five pavilions in the Nonagon. They had yet to conquer the sixth zone, while Roger Clarke, who used to be in charge of the seventh zone, was labeled as a defector and driven out of the Nonagon. Philip’s brain spun rapidly as he quickly sorted out the relationships between them. Then, he asked, “My father used to be in charge of the seventh zone, which means that the Nonagon also controlled the sixth zone. Who’s that person?” Fennel’s gaze burned, and the corners of his mouth curved into a smile as he said, “You’re indeed smarter than I thought. You know the person in charge of the sixth zone as well. They have an extraordinary relationship with you.” “Who?” Philip asked with a frown. “Your mother, Charlotte Larson,” Fennel said. His voice was not loud but it made a huge impact. Philip was stunned, and his eyes went blank. Sitting on the sofa, his hands trembled slightly. Not long ago, Sheryl said that his mother was once the most talented geniu
Philip stared sharply at the four people who got out of the car. These people wore different clothes, and their mannerisms inadvertently made others feel the impulse to worship them. The man and woman from earlier welcomed them into the Concord Hotel very respectfully. It could be seen that the man and woman were extremely respectful to these four people. Philip just stood at the side of the doorway. When this group of people passed by him, he saw the faces of the four people under the black hoods. One of them had a stunningly beautiful face, fair skin, exquisite features, a pouty mouth, and almond-shaped eyes. On her neck, there was a geometric pattern of the Big Dipper. The second star of the constellation was the most dazzling. She was a tall woman, and as she walked, her hips swayed from side to side. She was flirtatious and sexy. She was also a cold and mature beauty. The person closest to Philip had a face filled with cold murderous intent. He had a fierce expressio
“Venom, that’s enough. Don’t cause trouble.” At this moment, the alluring woman beside the black-robed man suddenly spoke up. Her voice was pleasant and enticing. While speaking, she also raised her eyebrows and looked at Philip with a smile that was meant to be provocative. Hearing that, Venom Paine reduced his aura, looked at Philip meaningfully, and said, “You’re very interesting. I hope we can meet again later.” After saying that, Venom stopped looking at Philip. The woman beside him looked at Philip with a charming smile before she turned around and followed the other two people in front into the Concord Hotel. It was not until they left that Philip breathed a sigh of relief. The feeling just now was too strange. These people from the Nonagon were indeed extraordinary. Philip took a deep breath before walking into the Concord Hotel while being led by the attendant. Soon, he came to the main hall. At the scene, many glamorously dressed men and women were gathere
Hearing this, the crowd looked sideways and could not hide the fire in their eyes. It turned out there was such an opportunity tonight. In other words, if they obtained the favor of Sheryl Larson, they would have one foot in the Nonagon. This was a decisive opportunity! Many descendants of large families present at the venue initially had little hope at first and were merely trying their luck. However, when they heard about this, all of them rushed enthusiastically to Sheryl, uttering all kinds of flattering words. Sheryl dealt with them one by one, appearing very gracious. Philip sat in the corner alone, watching all this indifferently. A sneer of realization appeared at the corners of his mouth. Good for Sheryl Larson. It seemed she had been setting up a trap for him. A special guest enforcer? Interesting. Philip’s eyes were slightly cold as he stared at Sheryl who was surrounded by the crowd. The other party seemed to have seen him as well. She signaled her subor
“Miss Larson, you must take a good look. This kid is just an ordinary person. He’s nothing! I’m the head of the Seed family in Uppercreek, and I’m willing to pay 500 million dollars! I only ask Miss Larson to recommend me to the enforcers.” At these words, the crowd raised their hands and shouted. “The Wood family will pay 800 million dollars. I hope Miss Larson can put in a few good words about me in front of the enforcers.” “The Sutton family will offer one billion dollars!” “1.5 billion dollars from the Leeds family! The Leeds family will definitely get the spot in Miss Larson’s hand!” For a moment, the hall suddenly turned into an auction. Countless people started bidding and even came to blows! However, Sheryl only smiled lightly and said to the agitated crowd, “I appreciate your kindness, but the Larson family has already selected the most suitable candidate.” “Who?” someone asked indignantly. “It can’t be that guy, right?” someone pointed at Philip and asked. S
When Sheryl heard that, her body shuddered slightly as she mumbled, “I’m not hiding anything from you.” Seeing Sheryl’s evading eyes, Philip chuckled and pushed Sheryl away. He was about to walk out. At this time, Sheryl panicked. She quickly chased after him and clutched Philip’s arm, saying coquettishly, “Don’t be in such a hurry to leave. Since you’re already here, don’t you want to meet the people from the Nonagon?” Philip turned around, raised his eyebrows, and said with a snort, “Sheryl, what exactly are you up to? Do you really think I’ll help you?” Sheryl let go of Philip’s arm, crossed her arms over her chest, and said, “You will because I have a secret that you want to know.” Philip frowned and asked, “What secret?” Sheryl replied, “It’s about your mother’s accident. Don’t you want to find out something?” “Are you threatening me?” Philip’s face turned grim, the chill in his eyes absolutely frightening. However, Sheryl seemed unperturbed. She smiled and said, “
Sheryl smiled sweetly and said, “You don't have to worry about that. I have my own arrangements. I can get you into the Nonagon safely. As for whether you can pass the final selection of the Nonagon and successfully enter the door, it depends on your own strength.” Hehe. Philip sneered and said, “As far as I know, the Nonagon is filled with a bunch of freaks. Do you think I can find what my mother left me and take it out under the noses of that bunch of freaks and the Five Pavilions? “Besides, it’s been so many years. Why do you think I can find something that even the Five Pavilions can’t? Sheryl Larson, this lie you’ve made up is too unreliable. Even if you want me to work for the Larson family, there’s no need to tell such a lie.” Philip said suddenly, his eyes looking icy cold. Sheryl smiled as if she had expected Philip not to believe her. She said, “If you don't believe me, you can meet the people from the Nonagon with me and listen to what they have to say.” Philip t
Instantly! The atmosphere in the entire hall became somewhat cold and awkward. Who was this kid to talk to the people from the Nonagon like that? Did he know the kind of people he was dealing with? These were the four enforcers of the Nonagon! Moreover, that sturdy man exuding chills was the most belligerent, malicious, and vindictive among the four! Hiss! Everyone gasped, and many looked at Philip in confusion. They also looked at Sheryl who sat beside him. Was this the talent chosen by the Larson family? How arrogant. He was young and fearless. At the same time, the man in the black robe slowly removed his hood, revealing his hideous and vicious face. He had dark skin and a tattoo of a tiger on his arms and neck. This tattoo alone was enough to make the people present tremble. People from the Nonagon were not ordinary people. These people were freaks who had entered the door. The man's eyes were savage. The scar at the corner of his mouth was now raised,
Meanwhile, backstage at Moon Tavern, the waiter was telling the woman singing on stage earlier about what had happened in the private room. The woman was full of disbelief, thinking the waiter was lying. “Don’t try to bluff me. How could anyone resist my attack?” The woman wore a veil on her face and looked very mysterious. Only the woman knew how disgusting she looked when she was not performing or casting spells. Covering her face was the best choice. The waiter told her what happened and described the state Philip and the others were in earlier. Although two people were affected, it was a problem because one person had remained conscious.They would face a lot of problems if other people discovered their tricks. The woman's tricks were extraordinary. Even a powerful person with superb strength would find it difficult to get rid of her attack. These so-called strong experts would only end up falling for her trick. At this time, the storyteller went on stage, and he was t
Philip nodded. “Do I have to order something else?” A hint of realization flashed in Philip’s eyes. He realized what was going on. The woman had the ability to bewitch the customers by affecting their thinking and emotions through singing and inducing them into spending money. She exuded a special charm to attract the customers even though she looked ordinary. In their minds, she was an unattainable goddess. Everyone saw a different woman in their minds but charming nonetheless, tempting them to spend money on her even though it would cost them all their fortune. However, Philip was different. He could control his emotions very well, so this woman had almost no influence on him. He realized this problem when he first heard that mysterious song. The waiter scowled and finally left the private room in horror after much deliberation. Philip did not say anything at his hasty departure. The woman quickly left the stage after playing her zither, and the bewitched customers
“Something is wrong. I find that woman a little weird.” Hearing that, they were curious to find out how Philip concluded that. “Although she’s not that good-looking, I don’t think she’s weird. What do you think is wrong with her?” Carlos said in puzzlement, wondering why Philip felt that this woman was weird. “The woman seems to have a fatal attraction to the male customers. It’s a scary ability to make these men flock to her.” It was weird that a woman with average looks could attract so many men. No one would believe that she had a strong appeal. “Welcome to Moon Tavern. I’ll be singing a song for you today. I hope you like it.” The woman's delicate voice rang, and everyone felt relaxed and happy. Even Philip felt that this voice was very charming, like the sound of nature ringing in his ears. However, Philip was not a fool. He keenly sensed something wrong with the situation. Nothing would be charming enough to attract him. For it to happen meant that something was wro
“Give us three pots of tea. We don’t need anything else. Thank you.” Philip did not order anything else. In his opinion, he was just here to find information, so his money should be spent on things that mattered the most. The waiter rolled his eyes at the order and seemed to look down on Philip. “Customers, are you sure you only want a few pots of tea? We have many snacks too,” the waiter said in disdain. Carlos was more concerned about his image, so he was shocked by the waiter’s obvious disdain. “Yes, we only need a pot of tea each. We want to have a taste first.” Adam's attitude was much better, speaking with a friendly smile on his face. Even if the waiter was angry, he could do nothing about it. The waiter left cursing under his breath. He thought that they were big customers, but they did not even give him a tip. Philip glanced at the waiter helplessly. Even waiters were so arrogant nowadays. Philip and the others were quickly served three pots of tea. The pots
Philip was not afraid at all. He knew that someone would target him, but they were just losers. They might be influential, but they were nothing in his eyes. He did not want to cause trouble, but it did not mean he would let anyone insult him. Philip and the others quickly found a tavern that looked quite high-end. “This place looks interesting.” Philip found the various decorations quite novel and knew it would not be cheap. “I don’t think it’s so easy to find any important information here. Just look at the customers and you’ll know that we’ll spend a bomb,” Carlos marveled at the price tag. Adam looked at the menu curiously and was quickly surprised to see how expensive it was for a pot of tea. “A pot of tea costs thousands of crystals?” Adam almost had a meltdown at the price. “Look at the requirements stated on the menu. Each person has to order a minimum of a pot of tea. Anything less than that and we’re not welcomed.” Adam shook his head helplessly and suddenly
“It’ll take a long time for this little fox to become a human. I think you would've found your other half before that happened.” After exchanging some pleasantries, Philip bade farewell to the shopkeeper and left without further ado. They had to hurry up to find the person Adam was looking for.… Meanwhile, Luther hurried back home unhappily. He never dreamed that he would suffer such humiliation one day. As soon as he returned home, a man greeted him. It was none other than his father, who doted on his son. “What's wrong?” He was surprised to see his son ignoring him. His son was always flashy and arrogant, so his behavior was quite unusual. Luther was in no mood to pay attention to his father. He returned to the room angrily without saying a word. “Guard, what’s going on? Did someone bully my son?” Luther's father, Klein, glared at the guard unhappily, blaming the guard for everything. The guard kneeled in fear and felt sorry for himself. “The young sir was brows
The shopkeeper was clearly relieved by Philip’s remark and direct approach. However, he was also embarrassed by Philip’s bluntness. He smiled at Philip awkwardly as an apology. “Why don’t you recommend a pet for my buddy? It should be a stronger one, preferably a combat type!” Philip glanced at Carlos. He knew that Carlos was too embarrassed to take the initiative. Carlos looked at Philip gratefully, letting out a shy chuckle. The shopkeeper recommended several pets to them. Carlos was dazzled by the sight and wanted them all. Adam looked at the scene with satisfaction. Although he had a high position, he did not have a decent pet either. It was difficult to have a pet in their world. With a wave of his hand, Philip generously bought a pet for each of them. At this time, Philip heard a whine from somewhere. He turned his head curiously and looked for the source of the sound. “What’s that noise?” Philip looked at the shopkeeper in confusion, unable to find the source of
Luther was at a loss for how to react. If the rabbit could speak, it had to be stronger than his pet. Although his pet was very powerful, it was just an ordinary creature that could understand some basic instructions and handle normal interactions. A talking pet was simply to die for. “Wow, how can that monster pet speak? It’s a force to be reckoned with.” Luther was shocked to see a talking pet. It was enviable to have such a powerful monster. Before this, he mocked the rabbit for not having any ability, but the tide had turned. He was almost going crazy with jealousy and wished that he could take the rabbit for himself. “I didn't bring my pet along, so I’m afraid I can’t show it to you. Losers like you don’t deserve to see my pet.” Luther acted full of snobbery and disdain, but he clutched his purse awkwardly. In fact, not only did he bring his pet out, but he had also been ready to show it off at any time. After all, his pet was very powerful and could grow bigger or sma
Philip was annoyed by the guy’s ridicule and simply wanted to keep a distance from him. “I don’t care who you are. I don’t want to pay attention to a loser.” After saying this, Philip could not wait to leave this disgusting place. He felt sick at the sight of the guy’s ugly face. Carlos lost the mood to watch the fun. He shook his head helplessly and turned around to leave. However, that guy was used to getting his way. He did not plan to let them leave in one piece. Anyone who offended him had to die. “Surround him. Don’t let him run away!” The man glared at Philip with disdain, sure that Philip would die. Philip was quickly surrounded by a large group of people. They were angry that Philip dared to go against their boss. “Who are you? Where did you come from? How dare you disobey our boss? Didn't he tell you to stop?” a guard yelled angrily. He was clearly a competent lackey, loudly accusing Philip as if he was going to stand up for his boss. “What are you looking at?
