Payback was a b*tch? Obviously, Rick did not believe in this. He frowned in disbelief and stared at Philip angrily. He sneered and said, “Very well, you’re a good friend, indeed. Messing with me will only end badly! Are you sure you want to speak up on his behalf?” Philip shrugged, relaxed his eyebrows, and said with a smile, “Young Master Michael, you should understand that we Easterners have always been the most loyal. Since he’s my friend, I’ll naturally stand by his side unconditionally. Moreover, I must advise you not to think of messing with my friend because you can’t afford it!” Hahaha! Rick laughed, his handsome face full of chills. He said, “Interesting! This is the first time I've met someone who says I can't afford to mess with them! You Easterners are really interesting. Is this what you call courtesy before a fight?” Philip thought about it and said, “It’s not wrong for you to understand it that way. We have shown you due courtesy by telling you the consequenc
Philip had slapped Rick across the face vehemently! He used about 70% of his strength, which knocked a few teeth out of Rick’s mouth. It caused blood to gush! Hiss! All the onlookers watched with wide eyes and covered their mouths. Their faces were full of incredulity as they stared at Philip who had attacked first. Then, they shifted their eyes to Rick who was covering his mouth in anger. “Holy sh*t! What the hell did that stupid Easterner do?” “He actually hit Rick Michael? He must be insane!” “They’re dead for sure now! No one can ever hit someone from the Michael family in the face!” “And he’s an Easterner too. Rick will definitely kill them!” The onlookers started going crazy, screaming and talking. It was mainly because Philip’s actions were too drastic! Here, on this street, the Michael family was king. Anyone who saw the golden cobra symbol must bow their head in respect. However, these crazy Easterners actually dared to do such a thing to the young mast
Clang! Hans pulled out a dagger, threw it at Rick’s feet, and said coldly, “Go ahead and do it, then.” Rick looked at the shiny dagger at his feet and suddenly felt that he had suffered great humiliation. He immediately roared. “F*ck you! Kill them!” In an instant, this group of more than a dozen armed bodyguards from the Michael family surrounded Fennel and the others. Fennel glanced around helplessly and asked Philip next to him with a smile, “How about we have a competition to see who can take on more?” Philip found it interesting and said with a smile, “Okay.” As soon as the words left his mouth, Rick exploded in anger. What? At this time, they still had the mood to compete on who could take on more opponents? Damnable! They simply did not give a damn to the Michael family! “Fire!” Rick shouted frenziedly. At his command! Rat-tat-tat! Several bodyguards pulled the trigger while aiming at Fennel and the others! However, the two figures that stood in fro
Inside the bar, sounds of gunfire and sparks from the firearms were endless. Bottles of liquor exploded from the shots. The bar counter and booths were full of human figures being constantly knocked down and then flying out. They hit the walls, bar counter, or were sent flying through the windows. In the end, only Fennel and Philip were left standing in the bar. Hans and Georgina protected them by their side. Well, Rick Michael was left standing too. The other customers who came to the bar for fun held their heads while squatting or lying on the ground. They screamed incessantly. At this moment, Rick was dumbfounded as he looked at the bodyguards who had all fallen to the ground haphazardly. They could no longer get up. How could this be? These were the elite bodyguards of the Michael family! All of them were dead! Rick looked up and saw the two men walking toward him like Grim Reapers. “W-Who the hell are you?” Rick panicked. With such skills, they could not
As soon as Colson Michael stepped out of his car, the crowd on the streets burst into discussions. “Oh my God, it’s Colson Michael! He’s the patriarch of the Michael family.” “Why is Colson here all of a sudden?” “Look! Someone must be making trouble in the bar! These are all the elite bodyguards of the Michael family. They all have the golden cobras!” Amid the chatters, Colson walked up to the bar’s entrance. At this moment, the bar was a mess. Rick roared at Fennel and the others. “F*ck you, damn Easterners! How dare you act so arrogantly in the Michael family’s territory? I’ll definitely make you kneel and beg for mercy! Especially you two, I’ll skin you alive!” Rick was furious! He had never been so humiliated by an Easterner before! This was the greatest shame since he was born! Fennel was still indifferent. At this moment, the door of the bar was pushed open. The first to walk in were four special bodyguards in white suits with golden cobra badges on their
Meanwhile, Fennel put his hands in his pants pockets. With a faint smile, he looked at Colson with his golden cobra walking cane and said with a smile, “Colson, it’s been a long time. You look older now.” Boom! Hearing this, Colson could not stop his legs from shaking. Then, in the shocked eyes of all the Michael family’s bodyguards and Rick, Colson knelt on the ground. He slammed his head on the cold floor and shouted, “Honorable Sun God Apollo, I didn't expect you to come to my bar.” Hiss! The whole place was dead silent! One could hear a pin drop! Sun God Apollo! Holy cow! He was really the famous Sun God Apollo of the 12 Sacred Halls of the West! The mysterious Eastern man! The man who caused the entire West to tremble in its boots at the mention of his name! The Sun God! This highest honor! Apart from Zeus, he was the strongest existence on equal footing with Hades! Rick was shocked beyond words at this moment! He saw with his own eyes how his fathe
Rick Michael was trembling all over in a panic. He looked at the shiny dagger on the floor and was scared out of his wits! “Father! I’m your son!” Rick knelt on the floor and roared at Colson who had a stoic face. No matter what, Rick was the young master of the Michael family and the future heir. However, now, just to apologize to Apollo, his father wanted him to kill himself! Terrible! What kind of strength and magical power did Apollo possess to make the prideful Michael family and his father so afraid of him? “Hmph! Rick, you’ve violated the rules of the Michael family! You’ve also offended the honorable Lord Apollo today. It’s your honor to be allowed to kill yourself in front of him! For the sake of the Michael family, you should sacrifice yourself!” Colson said coldly without the demeanor of a father at all. To him, only personal interests and the Michael family were most important. Even if he had to kill Rick with his own hands, he would do so without hesita
However, such a struggle would only hasten his death. Fennel raised his head indifferently and kicked out! Bang! Rick flew out like a cannonball through the air and crashed heavily into the bar counter behind him. Crash! He fell to the ground, and blood gushed from his mouth. He felt as if his bones were broken. All the internal organs inside Rick’s body had been destroyed by this kick! His death was already determined. Thud! The sound of cold footsteps. Fennel walked up to Rick, who was sprawled on the floor twitching. He looked down at Rick and said, “Rick, you continued to make the wrong decision right until the end. If you had been willing to kill yourself, maybe I would’ve let you go. However, you chose to die.” Rick raised his head and wanted to say something else, but in the end, he just lowered his noble head as his body turned cold. Rick Michael was dead. Fennel turned around, looked indifferently at Colson, and said, “Colson, your dear son died in m
“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
