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
Connie’s voice reminded one of a deep icy abyss, making others shiver when they heard it. Immediately after, she burst into action. Her slender hand carried the force of thunder and struck Fennel on the chest! Even an uninitiated layman could see that this palm strike contained an overwhelming power! Everyone believed that with this attack, the guy who seriously injured Venom before would definitely die! The corner of Venom’s mouth also carried a sneer. Since Connie had made a move, the outcome had been decided! She had entered the second zone and her strength was above his—a cut above! She might even enter the third zone when they returned after this! She was only 23 years old and selected by the Nonagon at the age of 19. In just four years, she had already attained such an achievement. Her future was limitless! However, to everyone’s surprise, Connie’s palm strike did not cause any damage to Fennel at all. Instead, her wrist was grabbed by the opponent. Swoosh! Fe
Everyone was shocked by the words that came out of Fennel’s mouth! What did he say? What an arrogant tone! Was he going to kill the four enforcers? This was simply unheard of! Was this cocky guy unaware that these people were from the Nonagon? Moreover, Norris Weil had also said that he was a member of the Five Pavilions of the Nonagon and a member of the Griffin Pavilion! This status and identity were definitely not accessible to ordinary people! Even the people of the Nonagon had to be respectful when they met the people of the Five Pavilions! That was a symbol of status! At this moment, Norris’ face also turned grim. His gray eyes flickered with an odd light as he said with a mocking laugh, “From your tone, you seem quite hostile against the Griffin Pavilion? I wonder how the Griffin Pavilion has offended you? Why don’t you tell me and we’ll see if it can be resolved? After all, our Griffin Pavilion recruits young and special talents from all over the world. With
Later, Philip had asked Reed about it but Reed just smiled indifferently and replied, “It’s still too early for you to find out. The time is not ripe yet. Sooner or later, you’ll come into contact with it.” Now, Philip realized that the secret Reed refused to reveal back then was the secret of these people before him. The Nonagon must be in control of something that was not accessible to ordinary people. Specifically, it was being displayed by Norris Weil in front of him. It was the so-called vigor that Fennel had mentioned just now. Vigor? What exactly was it? After this matter was over, he must find out from Fennel in more detail. He must know more. While Philip was thinking about it, Fennel had already stepped forward. Without doing anything else, he stared closely at Norris with firm and domineering killing intent. “You’re not my opponent. Why are you seeking your own death?” Although Norris had fully unleashed his aura at this moment, he still felt infinite pre
“What do we do with him?” Carlos asked. He wanted to skin the hooded man alive. Rabbit bared his teeth. “Kill him! Take off his clothes and hang him outside for everyone to see!” At this time, Alain finally noticed the commotion on this side. They were very noisy, so everyone kept looking over, trying to see what happened. Alain saw a familiar man lying on the ground. “What’s going on?” He walked over for a closer look and saw the hooded man! “What’s this? How could this happen?” Alain was dumbfounded. The onlookers had been watching, so they knew the situation. “What happened?” Alain asked in agony, wondering what happened. A kind onlooker explained, “Oh, don’t you know? That rabbit knocked the hooded man out!” Alain was taken aback by that remark. “How is that possible?” Alain was full of disbelief and thought someone had done something behind the scenes. Although he knew that the rabbit was powerful, he did not think it was strong enough to deal with the hooded
“You went too far! I’m well-respected wherever I go. How dare you treat me as a pet?” Although Rabbit had lost his memories after turning into an inanimate puppet, he could still deduce what had happened from Philip’s remarks. The hooded man was embarrassed to hear a rabbit reprimanding him. “If I can take you as my pet, that’s just a testament to my ability. If Philip couldn’t control you, what’s the big deal if I took you for my own?” The hooded man had always seen Rabbit as a pet, never a friend. Rabbit’s only purpose was to entertain him and fight for him. “Philip, leave this guy to me.” Rabbit was eager to take care of this guy. Carlos glared at the hooded man, certain that he had never seen him before. The hooded man also turned his attention to Carlos. From the match earlier, he knew that Carlos was from the Celestial Palace. In that case, he would have no reservations. He wanted to get to know someone from the Celestial Palace anyway. He ignored Philip and Rabbit
“What?” Carlos suddenly felt that maybe that rabbit in the hooded man's arms was Philip’s pet. “Stay here. I’ll take a closer look. I have a feeling that the guy is more than meets the eye. I think he was the one sneaking around my house.” After saying this, Philip walked over briskly. He had never seen such an arrogant thief. The guy was bold enough to appear in public after stealing someone’s rabbit. “Did you steal that rabbit from me?” Philip approached that man and asked solemnly without beating about the bush. The hooded man was taken aback by Philip's direct approach. “When did you appear behind me?” The hooded man was horrified to know that someone had snuck up behind him without his knowledge. It was as if Philip was immaterial. Feeling Philip's strength, the hooded man dared not say another word. He thought he was undefeatable, which was why he decided to watch the fun in person, but he got careless. “Are you saying that this rabbit belongs to you? Why don’t you
Jeff sneered at this scene and knew that it was time for payback. He did not plan to kill Hogster at first. After all, he was the young heir of a guild and represented the Hexa Guild. However, Hogster had pissed him off thoroughly. He had to kill Hogster at all costs. Thinking of this, Jeff raised the sword in his hand and stabbed Hogster. With that, everything was over. Alain closed his eyes at this scene. He shook his head in helpless agony. Due to the technique that he practiced, he could not have another child. Although he had been working hard to groom Hogster over the years, he had not stopped trying to get another child either. However, none of the women could get pregnant! Hogster was his only child so far. Unfortunately, his only son was dead. Under Jeff’s attack, he turned into dust and vanished without a trace! “How did things turn out this way?” Alain aged drastically all of a sudden and looked very haggard. The hooded man watched the scene warily, shocked
“What's going on? What drug did he take? It’s so powerful!” Jeff exclaimed in horror. All his attacks were ineffective, so what about Hogster’s attacks? At this time, Hogster attacked Jeff. His invincible mode would only last a few minutes. He had to seize the opportunity to take Jeff down. However, Hogster was not worried at all. In his opinion, dealing with Jeff was just a matter of seconds. “Go to hell!” Hogster made his move. He launched a killing move without holding back at all. Jeff was no match for Hogster at all. He was sent flying and fell to the ground miserably. Everyone looked at him with pity. Jeff spat a mouthful of blood and looked at Hogster in horror. Hogster had become so strong that he was no match for him at all. “Hehe, is that all you can take?” Hogster sneered. He was about to kill Jeff when the latter took out a pill from his pocket and swallowed it. It was the same pill he had taken earlier. Sure enough, Jeff was back to normal after taking
“Wow, I feel so good as if I just had a massage.” Jeff praised Philip in his mind. After taking the pill, he recovered instantly. Even the ailments he had been suffering from in the past were healed. He was in such good shape that he could face Hogster with no problem. He even felt that he could resist Hogster’s attack this time. Philip nodded. Jeff was quite good. He had thought that Jeff was already defeated and would not even be able to move. However, Jeff forced himself to take out a pill and swallowed it. “He’s quite good at persevering and has a bright future. You can consider grooming him,” Philip said to Jamie. Jamie was surprised to hear such a high assessment from Philip. Jamie attached great importance to Philip's suggestion. Since Philip said so, he would develop Jeff properly. “Aren’t you very full of yourself? Keep going.” Jeff rushed forward and started beating Hogster up. Hogster was already dying and could not put up a fight at all. “Stop!” Hogste
The Hexa Guild had lost the earlier match, so Hogster was upset about it. Their guild should be undefeatable. They should have made a name for themselves by now, but everything was ruined. Although Hogster did not know why the Celestial Palace was so powerful, he had a feeling that they were cheating. “I’m the pride of the Hexa Guild while you’re just an ordinary member. Don't even think about resisting me,” Hogster said calmly, clearly looking down on Jeff. Of course, Jeff was not to be outdone. “My favorite hobby is to beat someone while they're down. Your guild's reputation is so bad anyway. Why bother holding on to it?” His remark struck the Hexa Guild’s sore spot, and all the members scowled at him. Indeed, the Hexa Guild had a very bad reputation. They could only recruit ordinary people who could not join other guilds but yearned to practice. “Hehe, cut the crap. We’ll know the outcome after a fight!” After saying this, Hogster charged at Jeff with a weapon in han
It would do the Hexa Guild no good to keep Vanna alive, so they would not allow it to happen. Although the members of the Hexa Guild were angry, they quickly cheered up. There would be several matches with the Celestial Palace to go. They could not lose their fighting spirit because of this trivial matter. “Let’s see how powerful the Celestial Palace is. I refuse to believe that we’re no match for them.” Hogster decided to take the stage because the upcoming opponent was just an ordinary member of the Celestial Palace. They were not very strong. In his opinion, an ordinary member could not be very strong. It would be easy to win this match, and it would save him a lot of trouble too. It would be bad if he faced a dark horse like the previous match. The hooded man saw the performance of the Celestial Palace and was surprised by their extraordinary strength. However, he did not notice anything unusual. He simply thought that it was their usual strength. Since they were so str
“This is interesting.” The hooded man glanced at the people discussing this matter and felt expectant. He could not wait to meet Philip. On the other hand, Philip was watching the competition and had no idea what was going on. “Oh, I see, you’re the young lady of the Celestial Palace. I thought you were very powerful, but this is all there is to you.” Vanna’s opponent was an ugly woman who was very upset with her beautiful appearance. Vanna looked at her mockingly. “The outcome has yet to be determined. I don’t think you’re any better either.” After saying this, Vanna looked at the other party, waiting for her to make the first move. The ugly woman was furious at Vanna’s provocation. “Very well. Since you don’t know what’s good for you, let me show you what I’m capable of!” After saying this, she attacked Vanna as if she were ready to get rid of her. She had received an order from the guild leader to deal with Vanna properly. The Hexa Guild had initially planned to qu
