Hearing that, Wynn seemed to realize something. She turned to look at these ferocious foreign men, forced a smile, and said, “Did you get the wrong private room?” “No mistake. It’s you all right, my dear cousin.” At this time, a cold male voice came from the direction of the door. Liam Johnston, who was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, walked in with a cold face and a sneer. He had his hands in his trouser pockets. “Liam?” Wynn frowned and said, “What do you want?” Liam smiled and ignored Wynn. He turned to Willy who was sitting in the main seat and said with a bow, “Mr. Fadden, why don't you move to my private room?” Willy was not a person who could not understand the situation. He frowned, put down the wine glass, got up, and left the private room. After Willy left, Liam turned to Wynn with a subtle smile. He sat in a chair and said, “Wynn, I’m here today just for one purpose. Martin Group wants to merge with Beacon Group and make Beacon Group our subsidiary. I’ve
Philip followed Yana and arrived at a specific area in the inner hall. It was a large and luxurious private room with few people. Philip looked around and saw four men with different expressions. They were all in their 50s. Yana led Philip into the room and he instantly attracted the attention of the four people. They looked at Philip with hostility before averting their eyes, no longer paying attention. Yana stepped forward with a smile, led Philip to the seat, and introduced, “Everyone, this is Mr. Clarke. He’s also here to participate in this auction for the clue to the Multidew Herb.” As soon as Yana finished speaking, a disdainful look crossed the face of a short and fat old man who had his arms folded over his chest. He looked away and said coldly, “Boss Young, those sitting here are not ordinary people. Don’t bring in any Tom, Dick, and Harry. This kid looks very unfamiliar.” Then, another middle-aged man with a crewcut and an angular face agreed with a flash of gl
Harold Stow stared at Philip coldly and sneered, “Well done, kid. You have guts. From the sound of it, you seem to know about the hidden families of door disciples.” “I just found out,” Philip replied mildly. “Hehe, since you just found out, where did you get the courage and confidence to say these words?” Harold’s face darkened as a murderous intent flickered in the corners of his eyes. “What? You’re just a bunch of old guys pulling your weight around. What's there to be afraid of?” Philip laughed. “Presumptuous!” Harold shouted angrily. With a slap, he shattered the chair he was sitting in into pieces! Such strength was indeed not comparable to ordinary people. Philip took a glance, and from the energy unleashed by Harold just now, he roughly judged his strength. A disciple of the second zone? A little weak. “Boy, kneel and apologize for your disrespect to us just now! Otherwise, I’ll break your limbs and pull out your tongue!” Harold shouted angrily. Philip sti
The location where the Multidew Herb grew? Hearing this, Philip tensed and clenched his fists tightly. He must get his hands on this jade pendant! Of course, the other four leaders also shared the same thought as Philip. Likewise, their eyes became fiery while their breathing shortened! The short and fat Master Lowe said, “Boss Young, do let us take a closer look at the jade pendant.” With a smile, Yana personally held the golden tray and walked to the front. Master Lowe tried to get his hands on it but Yana gently evaded him and said with a smile, “Master Lowe, this item is very precious. It has been passed down throughout history and can’t be touched easily. Please look at it with your eyes only.” Hearing that, Master Lowe frowned but did not say anything. He withdrew his hand and narrowed his eyes slightly. There was a faint glimmer in his eyes as he carefully stared at the flawless pure white jade pendant. This jade pendant was more similar to the jade slips held by
Harold Stow was unhappy with Philip right from the beginning and naturally sided strongly with Master Lowe at this moment. Yana said with a smile, “Gentlemen, everyone will be treated equally here. Of course, Mr. Clarke can look at it too.” Hmph! Harold turned his face and mocked, “Look? What does he know? A brat who doesn’t know anything can only satisfy his voyeuristic urge.” Philip paid no heed to Harold’s mockery and looked at the jade pendant seriously. At this moment, he used a little of his control over the rules of matter. Insight! In an instant, the barrier inside the jade pendant that could block all exploring senses collapsed under Philip’s control over the rule of insight. At this moment, a scene from a thousand years ago appeared in front of Philip’s eyes. It was a piece of history lost in ashes. There were fragmentary images of old men and young boys, as well as pill production and herb fields. Just when Philip was still exploring the historical image
Harold’s words totally diverted everyone’s attention to Philip. A level-three essence of life was not a joke! Yana’s request was too high. No one could fulfill it! However, after Harold drew the attention to him, Philip merely smiled and said, “I don’t quite understand what a level-three essence of life is.” Hahaha! Instantly, Harold and the others burst into laughter! “Kid, you're really something! I thought you had some ability just now, but now, it seems that you’re just an innocent young man who knows nothing! You haven't even heard of the level-three essence of life. What are you doing sitting here?” Harold laughed before his tone turned cold. The short and fat Master Lowe also sarcastically said, “Since you don't know it, you don't need to participate in the competition. Just sit and watch from the sidelines.” After that, Master Lowe said to Yana, “Boss Young, this is a matter of great importance. I need to discuss it with everyone in the family. I’ll give you a
Ridiculous! Even members of the hidden families of door disciples like them could not do it! The most powerful person here was Nathan Zen. After all, his father-in-law was an employed academician at the Genetic Products Research Institute of the Nonagon. The research and development project of this level-three essence of life was also made through the efforts of his father-in-law. Therefore, if Nathan said that he could get the level-three essence of life tomorrow, he could definitely do so. However, how could this ordinary kid say that he could get the essence of life tonight? Simply preposterous! Faced with the criticisms and threats from the three, Philip remained seated calmly. He turned his head and said with a faint smile, “Those who can pay the price will get the item. Isn’t that the rules of an auction? If Patriarch Zen has the ability, he can present the essence of life one step ahead of me. In that case, I’ll make my retreat.” Hiss! Philip’s words were very
The moment these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the private room immediately tensed! The eyes of Master Lowe and Harold burst with killing intent as they shouted, “Brat! What did you say? You’re courting death!” They were angry! How dare a worthless loser belittle them, the members of the hidden disciple families? Abominable! The mundane world and the world of disciples were poles apart! There was a chain of contempt! People from the disciple families generally despised the mundane world! It was because in their opinion, the people of the mundane world were ants. They simply made up the numbers and were only mortals. Meanwhile, they belonged to the disciple world! They could completely replace the mundane world and change the existing rules of the world. Now, a punk from the mundane world actually dared to speak to them like this and simply did not show them due respect! Philip calmly sneered and said, “Am I wrong? The few of you think too highly of yourse
“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
On the other hand, Lincoln was shocked to find that Hogster was dead. Lincoln had been watching the situation and knew that Philip was a powerful person. Everything was most likely related to Philip. However, he never thought that Philip could make people stronger. He had heard of some special circumstances that could improve someone’s strength. He had roughly guessed the implications but never paid much attention to the matter. In his opinion, the Hexa Guild was already ruined. If he wanted to save the guild, he had to get rid of Alain and his people. Lincoln had lost trust in the guild. If he had not left his seclusion by chance, he would not have bothered about anything. “Forget it. Stop throwing your weight around. Since your son died a tragic death, I won’t make things difficult for you,” Carlos said in disdain.He knew what Alain had done, so he did not have a good impression of him. Although his remark sounded a little hurtful, it felt good to say it. The other guil
“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
