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,
Venom withdrew his attack but the belligerent killing intent in his eyes did not dissipate. With a broad sneer, he said, “Young man, I’m very interested in you. You’re the first person who can stand in front of me without fear. I really hope to see you in the Nonagon.” After that, he turned around and returned to the side of the coquettish woman. The four of them sat down. Sheryl was extremely frightened just now. She quickly got up and asked with concern, “Philip, are you alright?” Philip shook his head and breathed a sigh of relief. The tremendous pressure he felt from Venom had disappeared at this moment. He smiled and said, “I’m fine.” Immediately after, his eyes swept over the four enforcers of the Nonagon. The other two removed their hoods as well and Philip finally got a good look at their faces. One of them was a middle-aged man about 40 years old with a gray goatee. His eyes were closed throughout, making it difficult to guess his thoughts. The other was a rath
Smack! A person in the hall angrily and abruptly slapped his palm on the table. Then, with a face full of chills, he pointed at Philip and shouted sternly, “How dare you?! Who told you to interrupt? Do you know what this place is? Do you know who the person you’re talking back to is?” “Miss Larson, is this the person chosen by your Larson family? I think he’s just an ignorant young man! How dare he question the decision of the Nonagon? Is he tired of living?” The man turned his head angrily and shouted at Sheryl. The coldness in his eyes could not be hidden! He was already angry and jealous of Sheryl for becoming a special guest enforcer. Now, the person she chose actually dared to question the decision of the Nonagon on such an occasion. No, he was questioning the four enforcers in front of him! Simply audacious! Was he unaware of who these people were? In these people's eyes, ordinary people like them were mere ants that could be wiped out at will! In their eyes, pe
The murderous aura that radiated from Venom’s body filled the entire hall! Everyone could not help but tremble all over, their legs and knees going weak! Was this the strength of the people from the Nonagon? How terrifying! Without doing anything, just Venom’s intensity and words alone intimidated people! Everyone’s eyes fell on Philip at this moment. They wanted to see how this young man would solve the current dilemma. At the same time, they also looked forward to Venom making a move and outright killing this person chosen by the Larson family! That way, their families and the forces behind them would have one less competitor! Even the other three enforcers were staring at Philip with searing eyes, waiting for his reply. The smile on Connie’s face was the broadest. She was very interested in the man in front of her. The middle-aged man in his 40s opened his eyes slightly and took a look before closing his eyes again. It was as if the scene in front of him was not
After saying that, the coldness emanating from Venom’s smirk grew more intense. He moved at top speed to slash Philip’s arm with the dagger in his hand! With that slash, Philip’s arm would definitely be ruined! When Sheryl saw this scene, her expression crumbled and she hurriedly shouted, “Stop, no! You absolutely can't hurt him!” Hearing that, Venom glanced sideways at Sheryl and asked curiously, “Why not? Isn't he just an ordinary person? Doesn’t your Larson family have another candidate for the selection?” Sheryl was panicking at the moment. If Philip was harmed in any way, the Clarke family would definitely not let the Nonagon off! The Clarke family and the Nonagon had been at peace for decades. If anything happened at this juncture, it would be bad for both parties. Moreover, Philip was the heir of the Clarke family. If he was injured by someone from the Nonagon, Roger Clarke would certainly be furious! Not to mention the four enforcers but even the Five Pavilions
Hiss! Everyone gasped! This was too exaggerated! A single slap caused Venom to fly out like that?! Then, Fennel’s bland and disdainful words were heard. “So noisy! The hell with being an ant! In my eyes, you’re nothing but an ant.” Such audacity! Who could have imagined that this person from the Nonagon—one of the four enforcers of Uppercreek who acted so high and mighty before this and was a guy rumored to have a body impenetrable by knives—could be slapped away just like that? Moreover, Venom lay on the ground for half a minute before he recovered his senses! After he got up, his face was full of anger and his eyes flashed with disbelief. He sneered very cruelly and said to Fennel, “Haha, interesting! You’re not an ordinary person. You know the zones behind the door. You’ve entered the Nonagon and you’ve entered the door before!” Hiss! Instantly, the crowd tensed. What? The guy in front of them had actually entered the Nonagon! However, what was this about a
Fennel was right and Venom was fully aware of it. Just now, Fennel’s kick had injected a lot of vigor into his body. If he dared to activate his energy now and the two forces collided, his internal organs would not be able to withstand it. His organs would crumble! If that happened, he would be rendered an invalid! The Nonagon would have no use for an invalid! Venom dared not move around and could only kneel on the floor, enduring the pain in his abdomen. He could hardly believe that a guy who had entered the second or even third zone behind the door would appear here in the outside world! He and the other enforces had been given this assignment for the Nonagon’s selection this time. He really had not seen Fennel before! In that case, only two possibilities could explain the current situation. First, he was a member of the Five Pavilions and could freely enter and exit the Nonagon. Second, he was an outcast of the door, one who was wanted by the Nonagon. As for whic
“You must be referring to the lark people. What do you want with them? They're not to be trifled with. You’ll be in trouble if you mess with them.” Everyone was delighted to hear about the lark people. It was great that someone knew something. Adam was very excited to find a clue as soon as they arrived. He had thought it would take a lot of effort to find something, but reality proved otherwise. “The lark people can be regarded as the overlords here. You can find out about them easily. I'm just an ordinary old woman, so I can't tell you too much. You should approach other people if you want to find out more. Maybe you can find a storyteller. I’m sure they can tell you some very important information.” The old lady was clearly unwilling to disclose anything, so everyone was disappointed. In that case, they could not force her. “Thank you very much. At least you gave us an inkling about what to do. We wouldn’t know so many things if it weren't for you.” Adam thanked the old
“I heard that her family is quite complicated. They seem quite troublesome.” Hearing that, everyone wondered what Adam meant. It seemed that he would face problems in pursuing a relationship with this woman. Carlos looked at Adam awkwardly and sighed. “It doesn't matter. We don’t have to worry about that. Let's just take things one step at a time.” Rabbit calmly drifted around with Philip, feeling quite good. “What's there to worry about? I say the old monk has nothing better to do than worry about trivial matters. It’d be embarrassing if so many of us couldn’t bring a woman back.” Until now, Rabbit felt that the other party was just an ordinary woman, so he did not think that there was anything to worry about. They quickly joined the line to enter the city. To Philip's surprise, there was no entrance fee at all. Moreover, their appearance and attire looked no different from the others. Philip and his friends calmly entered the place, and Philip stood on guard. He had a
Philip felt helpless at the sight of this vast starry sky and suddenly felt that maybe coming here was not the right choice. They arrived without knowing anything about this place, so they might encounter various dangers. “I’m curious about the woman you've been looking for. She must be quite extraordinary,” Philip said curiously, baffled about this matter. Hearing that, Adam shook his head helplessly. He was really clueless about everything. “I only know that I can come here and find her with the key. I don’t even know where she is. We can only search aimlessly in this starry sky.” Philip was dumbfounded by Adam’s incompetence. “I thought we’d be teleported to her home or a fixed location, so I don’t know what’s the deal with this. I have a feeling that I’ve been tricked.” Adam sighed helplessly. “Let's just wander around. I’m sure we can find something somehow,” Carlos comforted Adam, but he was not optimistic about it either. He knew that they probably could not find the
Adam had to reevaluate Philip’s strength. He used to think that Philip was simply the best of his generation. Although powerful, he was not invincible. However, the ability to change certain orders and rules was not something that just anyone had. It would not be far-fetched to call Philip the chosen one favored by the heavens. Philip told Carlos to bury Bryce before forgetting about him. Carlos quickly handled his affairs, packed his bags, and got ready to set off with Philip. Adam also waited for Philip without much luggage on hand. Philip stuffed Rabbit into the Verge Tower space. He had to bring Rabbit along with him or the latter would be up to no good. “Rabbit, stay in Verge Tower and stop bothering me.” Rabbit was upset to hear that he had to stay in Verge Tower but still felt happy that Philip was willing to take him along. “Next, the two of you need to relax. I’ll wrap you with my energy. Don't try to resist or you’ll only end up hurting yourself,” Philip said.
“I have other important things to do. Don't worry. I’ll be back soon, so make sure you work hard during this time. I’ve given you all the pills you need. Whether you can make full use of them depends on you.” In Philip’s opinion, the Hexa Guild could not do anything anymore, so there was no worry about them. After much deliberation, Jamie nodded. Philip did not belong to his guild, so he could hardly stop Philip from leaving. Moreover, Philip’s pill supply was already a great help to them. It would be annoying if Jamie asked for more. “No problem. Where are you going next? Do you need my help? I’ll do my best to help you.” The Celestial Palace was powerful enough for Jamie to say such things. Philip shook his head. He would be traveling with Adam next, and his strength was incredible. It was best for them to leave together. “It’s okay. I have everything prepared. Just do your best in the competition and don’t allow the Hexa Guild to take the upper hand.” Now that the Cele
“He lost his family when their enemies sought revenge while he was very young, so he's quite pitiful in a way.” Philip was not concerned about it. The life story of a loser had nothing to do with him. Moreover, Bryce was clearly up to no good. Getting to know him was a waste of time. “I found all the information he researched. To be honest, I’d think highly of him if he weren't up to no good.” Rabbit waved his paw smugly. He had looked through Bryce’s things and knew exactly what he had researched. Philip looked at a bottle of potion and could tell everything at a glance. “He’s a genius, indeed, but there’s no saving someone with bad intentions.” Philip shook his head helplessly. Bryce could only blame his bad luck for encountering them today. Carlos quickly took care of Bryce. There was no point in keeping such an evil villain. There was no need to be charitable in this situation. Adam looked at the room and sighed helplessly at Bryce’s unfortunate end. Although he had
Philip was curious about this situation. Since he could not get any information from the stubborn hooded man, he would find out indirectly. “That’s enough. Take him away. He has no value to us anyway. It's better to send him away.,” Philip said with disdain and did not take him seriously at all. The hooded man was shocked to hear that Philip was sending him away. He was nervous and afraid that Philip would do something to him. Although he was selfish and unreasonable, he was also a coward and afraid of death. Everyone sighed helplessly at his mournful wails. Adam closed his eyes, unwilling to get involved. Seeing this, Philip believed that Adam was unwilling to pay attention to his nephew, but he was still curious. If they were closely related, why would this guy's family sever all ties with Adam? It was advantageous to be on good terms with Adam. Not only would they receive guidance on practice, but they could also listen to his lectures from time to time. For example,
Philip and the old monk greeted each other happily as if they were old friends. Carlos was surprised to see Philip on such good terms with the high and mighty old monk. This was something he had never even dared to dream about. It was unbelievable that he could sit and drink happily with the old monk one day. “Let me introduce my friends.” Philip calmly introduced everyone around him, ignoring Carlos’ anxiety. Carlos stood up when he saw the old monk. “Hello, my name is Carlos. I admire you very much. I never thought that I'd be able to meet you one day. It’s my honor.” Carlos was happy and excited to get more perks than the guild leader. The old monk was quite friendly. After greeting Carlos with a smile, he looked at Philip curiously, wondering what he was up to. “I want to find out if you know someone.” After saying this, Philip asked Carlos to bring the hooded man out. The guy was tied up tightly and looked pitiful. More importantly, his clothes had been stripped off,
The hooded man woke up very soon, and he could not believe that Philip caught him. “What's going on? How did you catch me? This is impossible.” He was very confident in himself and knew that no one could catch him so easily, but reality had just proven him wrong. He had no choice but to believe it. “What's impossible? You underestimate me too much!” Rabbit snapped furiously. “What’s your name?” Philip stared at the man curiously. He had a feeling that this person was the same as the old monk. “Rabbit, call the old monk over. I want to speak to him. He may not know you, so you need to tell him who you are.” After interrogating this man, Philip wanted to speak to the old monk and find out his opinion about this hooded man. Since the two gave him the same feeling, they had to be connected somehow. Rabbit hopped over to find the old monk. He knew that the old monk was the best referral for this matter because he was very powerful and knowledgeable. The old monk was resting
