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
Hiss! Everyone was filled with horror at this scene! The other three enforcers who stood behind Norris were all dumbfounded! They were fully aware of Norris’ strength! He was the only one among the four who had entered the third zone to study. Although it was only half a month ago, it was enough to display his strength. Among them, he was definitely a heaven-defying existence! Moreover, given that he was a member of the Griffin Pavilion in the Five Pavilions, he was naturally stronger than the others who entered the third zone. That was because Griffin Pavilion had more structured and professional lectures and training. However, at this moment, Norris’ full blow was so easily blocked by Fennel! Terrifying! Simply horrific! What kind of monster was this guy exactly? Could it be that he was not someone who had just gotten to the third zone? Instantly, Connie and the other two thought of a possibility. The fourth zone! How could it be? Anyone who had entered
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?
