Philip looked at everyone coldly and imposingly. Following his scrutiny, no one dared to raise any objection. Leon clapped his hands at this moment, stood up with a smile, and said to the subordinates behind him, “Men, bring Patriarch West to treat his injuries.” Then, he walked to Philip's side, patted him on the shoulder, and addressed the crowd, “Everyone, this is the new member of Cherry Villa. Please welcome him!” After saying that, Leon clapped heartily while sparse applause was heard from the crowd. However, Philip said, “Villa Master Jefferson, I didn’t agree to join Cherry Villa. I’m here to look for someone.” Leon smiled and said, “Philip, don’t worry. The Miss Johnston you’re looking for should have already gone back.” “Gone back? With whom?” Philip was anxious and frowned. Sure enough, Wynn had gone back. Leon motioned for everyone to continue the conference before he walked out of the main hall with Philip and said, “Philip, the person who brought Miss
Philip glanced sideways at Leon before he asked, “Do tell. If I can help, I’ll try my best.” Leon smiled, rubbed his hands secretly, and said, “I’d like to invite you to participate in the Disciple Competition between Cherry Villa and Terrain Villa one month later.” “Disciple Competition?” Philip frowned, a little puzzled. Leon quickly explained, “As you probably know by now, Cherry Villa in the south has always been at odds with Terrain Villa in the north. We compete both openly and covertly. When Mr. Lovelace single-handedly pacified the disciple community from the north and the south decades ago, the Disciple Competition became a tradition. After all, there have always been disputes between the north and the south, but to prevent the situation from escalating, all issues will be resolved at the Disciple Competition. The winner will decide how the issue will be handled. “This is also the reason why the southern supernatural disciple community has always been inferior to the n
Leon Jefferson was actually on his knees. He said, “Philip, I sincerely implore you to represent the southern supernatural disciple community in this Disciple Competition. I’m not doing this for personal gain but the greater good and stability of the disciples in the north and the south. We were originally one, but because of some ambitious people, we found ourselves in this current situation. Back then, Mr. Lovelace noticed the conspiracy of those people and decided to use iron-handed methods to stabilize the turmoil of the disciples in the north and the south. I don’t want to see his great achievements be drowned in the long river of history, and I don’t want to see the disciples in this country kill each other. “There’s not much time left for us in this world. I hope that in my lifetime, I can see the disciples in the north and south unified and harmonious. I hope we can jointly resist the disciples from outside the country. “Philip, I hope that you can grant this request of m
Philip looked at Wynn solemnly and asked, “Are you sure you want to go by yourself?” Wynn was silent for a long time and finally nodded, saying with great certainty, “Yes, I’m sure. I want to go to the Lovelace family to have a look. Only then can I know what I want, what I want to do, and…” Wynn looked at Philip with love in her eyes and said, “I also want to be the woman behind you. I want to have the strength and ability to protect you, Mila, and Nelson. “Philip, I don't want to be a burden to you, let alone a worthless decoration as others say. You’ve always been silently helping me. I didn't know your identity at that time, let alone mine. “Now, I don't want much. I just want to know the truth and where my future path lies.” After listening to Wynn, Philip fell silent. The atmosphere in the car was somber. It was so depressing that it was difficult to breathe. Finally, Philip’s eyes tensed as he said, “Okay, I agree. Do whatever you want to do, and find out whatever yo
Philip asked in puzzlement. Wynn said, “Shane told me that my biological father left this behind in Cherry Villa back then and only I can open it. But I don’t know how to open it, so I have to go back to the Lovelace family. Shane told me that there are many secrets and legacies in my faction. Only I can take charge of the overall situation now. I’m not very clear about the specifics.” Philip frowned and took the small black box in Wynn’s hand. He tried to use his rule of insight to explore it but the little black box rejected Philip’s probing. “Since your biological father left this to you, you should keep it well. When you go back to the Lovelace family, you must pay attention to your safety. If anything happens, you must tell me immediately.” Those were Philip’s final instructions. Wynn nodded and smiled. The next day, Philip and Wynn returned to Riverdale. Philip would be leaving for Sendona, Country M. Wynn was also making preparations for her return to the Lovelac
Hearing this soft and sweet voice, Philip turned his head and saw a familiar smiling face. It was beautiful and cute. Any man would be gratified by that smile. Moreover, the other party was dressed in sexy and revealing clothes. Her figure was perfect and on full display in front of Philip. Vivi Joo? Why was she on the plane too? “Oh, it’s really you!” Vivi exclaimed and trotted over immediately. She hugged Philip’s arm and leaned on his shoulder intimately. Anyone who did not know would misunderstand that these two were a couple. Philip looked helpless and quickly pushed Vivi away. He rolled his eyes and said, “Hey, whoa, keep your distance. I’m a married man with a wife and kids. You’re Ethan’s fiancée. Don't get so close to me. Others will gossip.” Vivi glared at Philip resentfully and let go of his arm. She sat next to him and muttered, “You really know how to hit a sore spot. I have nothing to do with Ethan. Even if there’s a marriage contract, it was arranged
Philip looked helpless but did not say anything. The flight attendant with a graceful figure wearing a red uniform and black stockings said apologetically, “I’m sorry, sir. Please wait a moment.” Philip smiled, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and waited. It was because this was the washroom for the first-class passengers. Obviously, the middle-aged woman ran over from the business class at the back and was occupying the first-class washroom. However, after waiting for ten minutes, the middle-aged woman still did not come out. Philip frowned, reached out, and knocked on the door. He asked, “Excuse me, are you done yet?” The middle-aged woman's scolding voice came from inside, “Why are you knocking? Don’t you know that someone is inside?” Philip was reprimanded and became even more helpless. The flight attendant on the side also bowed apologetically. Then, she stepped forward, knocked on the door again, and said, “Madam, please hurry up. This is the first-class
This slap was clean and decisive. The crisp slap startled many passengers in the business class cabin. All of them looked over. “Wow, that young man is too fierce!” “I think it’s well-deserved! The old woman has been very uncivilized since she got on the plane. The child kept crying and running around too. She even scolded several passengers who were sitting with her too.” “Well done! I've been wanting to slap that old woman for a long time! I've never seen such an unreasonable person!” A group of business class passengers spoke up at this moment and stood on Philip’s side. Back to Philip. After Philip slapped her, the middle-aged woman did not react for a long time. The other party clutched her cheek which rapidly became red and swollen with a face full of horror. Then, the middle-aged woman roared hysterically, “Ah, you little b*stard! How dare you beat me? Who are you? How dare you hit me? Do you know who my son is? You're dead. I'm telling you, you're dead! I'll h
“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
The Hexa Guild also claimed that they would kill anyone from the Celestial Palace. Although upset, no one dared to say anything in the face of the other party’s strength. It would be embarrassing if they could not live up to their claims if they retorted now. Moreover, the battle was a matter of life and death. Everyone was risking their lives. The Celestial Palace had the confidence to face the Hexa Guild now. They believed that they could turn the situation around with their strength or at least show them what they could do. There would be a battle between the two parties in the afternoon, which was the best time to show off their strength. The young lady of the Celestial Palace would be the one contending. After improving her strength, Vanna was full of confidence and vowed to give her opponent a fatal blow or at least let them know how powerful she was. Ronan was nervous. He was not worried about his wife but worried that the Hexa Guild would take things too far. Those
It could be considered returning the favor. Jamie shook his head helplessly. He knew Philip’s kind intentions, but this matter was not so simple. “I know that your wine can improve someone’s strength, but it’s no help to us right now!” The overall strength of the Hexa Guild had increased so much that it went beyond anyone’s comprehension. Carlos turned up at this time. He wanted to talk to Philip about this matter, but Jamie beat him to it. “My friends just told me that the Hexa Guild is hellbent on dealing with everyone, not only us. Anyone up against them will be killed. They must be insane to face any guilds without fear!” Philip was intrigued. They could not be so confident for no reason. They must have encountered an opportunity. “Maybe they encountered an opportunity. I can't be sure about this, but I can at least provide you something to ensure that nothing happens to your people.” After saying this, Philip handed Jamie some pills. Philip was very confident about
It was very suspicious that a bunch of losers became so strong all of a sudden. “Philip, don’t you think something is wrong? I have a feeling that the Hexa Guild did something,” Jamie asked bluntly with mixed feelings about it. There was clearly something wrong with the Hexa Guild. Philip nodded. He had been watching the competition carefully. He could see that these people’s strength had just been improved, and their foundation was not very stable. “Don't think too much. There is a problem with them, and it’s not small either. From the looks of it, they must've taken something that can quickly improve their strength. However, their skills and combat experience can't keep up, so they can only barely manage it.” Philip shook his head helplessly. At this rate, even the members of the Celestial Palace would suffer. Moreover, the Hexa Guild held a big grudge against the Celestial Palace. Once they met, it would definitely be a life-and-death battle. “What should we do? All th
“You should prepare for the competition.” Philip turned and left after saying that. Everyone felt angry at his domineering appearance. Some people had ideas about Philip. “Which guild does Philip belong to?” a man with a sinister face asked angrily. He wanted to know which guild Philip belonged to so that he could go all out to target Philip's guild. Others shook their heads. No one knew much about Philip. At this time, a spy from the Hexa Guild stepped forward. He looked at the man flatteringly and provided all the information he knew. “Philip doesn't belong to any guild, but he’s an honorary elder of the Celestial Palace!” The fact that Philip became an honorary elder of the Celestial Palace had not been made public. Only people keeping a close eye on the Celestial Palace knew about it. The Hexa Guild had always wanted to deal with the Celestial Palace, so they had been keeping a close eye on the latter. They knew all the minor details. The man scowled as if he did
“I can explore the secret realm on your behalf, but why do you think she’d appear there?” Although Philip could not figure it out, maybe the old monk had his reason for saying that. “I’ll explore the secret realm after the guild competition is over. If I can find the woman you’re looking for, I’ll think of a way.” In fact, Philip would rather take the old monk with him. He did not know what the woman looked like, so it was better for the old monk to do it himself. “Sure!” The old monk smiled brightly, surprised that Philip would agree so decisively. The secret realm was full of dangers. He knew that he should not let others take risks for him, but Philip did not ask any questions and even agreed to his request without any hesitation. “I’ll think about it and see if I can find a way to bring you in,” Philip said off-handedly. He still preferred to bring the old monk with him. The old monk was dumbfounded and thought he had heard it wrongly. “What?” The old monk gaped at
