Philip frowned, his hand suspended in midair. He said, “I feel that it has formed a connection with something in my body. I don’t think it’ll harm me. Instead, I feel as if I can command it.” With that said, Philip tentatively reached out with his right hand and placed it on the meteorite. Suddenly, the instant his right hand touched the meteorite, a dazzling red light flashed before it disappeared just as quickly. The contraction and expansion of the meteorite also slowed down as if it had quieted down. The staff member saw the data displayed by the monitoring device and said, “Marquis Ron, the values have dropped. It seems much calmer.” Hearing that, Marquis Ron and Fennel turned to look at Philip. Fennel asked, “How is it? What do you feel?” Philip focused and thought for a long while. He withdrew his hand and said, “It’s a strange feeling as if there’s something inside very close and reliant on me. Moreover, it seems to be sending me an important message, but I can’t
At the sight of this small alien creature, everyone in the room was dumbfounded! The eyes of the female researchers shone brightly as they stared at the little creature that had poked its head out from the cracked meteorite. They clenched their fists, blinked their large eyes, and exclaimed in excitement, “Wow, this little guy is so cute! I really want to hold it.” Fennel and Marquis Ron were also stunned. The little creature kept looking around at the outside world with its pale golden eyes. Then, it jumped out lightly from the broken shell, all shrouded in a golden glow. It was just like a pale golden lamb but with two red antlers on its head. Other than that, its four hooves were also bright red as if it were stepping on magma. It just stood on the laboratory table, staring at everyone and chirping. Fennel came back to his senses and said gravely, “Oh no! This is a royal monster! A monster born as royalty must be killed at once!” From the color and horns of that creatu
“What? Keep it? Are you crazy? That’s a creature from the other shore, a brutal monster! Countless human warriors have died under their fangs and become their food! No way, we must kill it immediately!” Fennel’s attitude was very tough and unrelenting. However, Philip smiled and said, “I’ll bear the responsibility if anything happens. I’m keeping it because I can feel the trust it has in me. Moreover, I can find out more about the door and the world of the other shore through it.” Fennel frowned. Philip was right. The Black Dragon Heart that was previously guarded by the royal monsters had been absorbed by Philip. Since the royal monster had displayed its dependence and trust in Philip, it might be a way for humans to understand the world of the other shore through it. However, this approach was too risky because there was no evidence that the monster was 100% submissive to the Black Dragon Heart. What if it was an act put up by this little creature? Maybe it also wanted
Mila had been taken away? Philip jolted and asked, “Mom, what happened? Isn’t Mila under close watch?” On the other end of the phone, Martha was very anxious. She sobbed and said, “It's all my fault. I was careless. Mila said she wanted to go out to play, so I took her out. I didn't let your people follow us. I just turned around to chat with my friends and Mila was gone. Oh, but they left a letter for you.” Martha was very anxious, afraid that Philip would blame her. She had no choice. Her son-in-law was now the young patriarch of a wealthy family. She could not afford to offend him at all. Martha had come to terms with it. In the future, she would depend on her son-in-law. “What letter?” Philip frowned and asked coldly. At the same time, he asked Fennel to arrange for a private plane to return to Orienta. “The words written on the envelope read the Singer family.” Martha said and asked, “Philip, who’s the Singer family? Will something happen to Mila?” At the other
“Hmph!” Philip snorted and said, “When the Singer family reached their hands out to Mila, their ending was already set in stone! Without the Singer family, any Tom, Dick, and Harry family can still take charge of the Northern supernatural disciple world!” Philip had made his intention clear. Fennel said no more and told his subordinates to pack up. He got ready to return home with Philip on a private plane. After all, it was impossible for Philip to go to Mystic City in the Northwest alone. He left things in the Hall of the Sun to the Strategist. Before leaving, Fennel also called Athena up and asked her to take care of the hall. Of course, Athena was quite willing to do so. She also emphasized that she would definitely go to Orienta to look for Fennel. As for Roger, he would remain in the Hall of the Sun to recover from his injuries for the time being. Roger had his plans that Philip did not know nor intended to find out. Philip did not even tell Roger about Mila.
The next morning, the private plane landed at the Riverdale airport. Philip and Fennel got off the plane. They got into the car prepared by Theo Zander and headed straight to First Palace. All the streets in Riverdale were on lockdown! In less than ten minutes, Philip returned to First Palace, where Charles and Martha were sitting in the living room. Martha’s eyes were red from crying, while Charles paced around anxiously. “Stop crying. What’s the use of crying now? If not for your carelessness, Mila wouldn’t have gotten kidnapped.” Charles had not slept a wink last night. Martha sobbed and said, “You can’t blame me for that. I didn't know that someone would lay their hands on Mila. If Philip hadn’t messed with someone outside, who would have done such a thing to Mila?” “Enough! Are you still blaming Philip now?” Charles said angrily. Martha only said this because she was nervous and worried. She quickly asked, “Charles, do you think Philip will blame me when he comes
George received news about Mila’s kidnapping last night and suppressed the news within the Clarke family for fear that the people of the branch family would find out. If they found out, maybe the branch family would get involved too. In that case, things would get tricky. George immediately dialed the intercom of the family guards’ base camp and ordered, “The young patriarch has given the order to mobilize four teams of sea, land, and air to head to the Northern Singer family! Do this immediately without fail!” “Yes!” The guards of the base camp immediately sprang into action! In less than three minutes, the land guards assembled a hundred fully armed guards, all of them the most elite guards of the main Clarke family. On the sea, five escort cruise ships were mobilized with all ammunition fully loaded. They headed straight for the Northern port of Beechwood City where the Singer family was located. Four fighter jets also lifted off from the Clarke family’s airport with
Jenkins snorted and said, “Hehe, Leon Jefferson is very gutsy. Let’s see if he dares to fight the Singer family head-on for the sake of that young brat!” After that, Jenkins said to the middle-aged man, “Pass him my message that we won’t let her go. The Singer family will invite Villa Master Leon Jefferson as a guest here with open arms!” “This…” The elder of the Singer family was hesitant and said, “Patriarch, is this reply really appropriate? He’s the master of Cherry Villa, after all. If we really provoke him, I’m afraid it’ll be detrimental to the Singer family and Terrain Villa.” Jenkins snorted and said, “I’m not afraid of Leon Jefferson!” Hearing that, the elder of the Singer family nodded and said, “I’ll send him the reply now.” Instantly, the atmosphere in the hall went cold. After the middle-aged man left the hall, seven or eight other core members of the Singer family remained seated. A middle-aged man with a hooked nose and thin face said, “Patriarch, I think
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
“The truth is that I have a favor to ask of you, but I’m afraid of overstepping the line, so…” The old monk knew that his action was inappropriate, so he was conflicted and wondered how he should ask for Philip’s help. Philip was interested upon hearing that the old monk needed a favor. He wanted to know what stumped him. With his strength and status, the old monk should be omnipotent. “Feel free to speak your mind. If I can handle it, I don’t mind lending a helping hand.” Philip would not help for no reason. If the other party was willing to pay the price, he would not refuse. The old monk was excited to hear Philip’s agreement. “I have the location of a secret realm. I tried to enter it once, but the secret realm told me that I couldn’t enter it,” the old monk said with regret. “There should be a lot of good things in this secret realm, so I’m very disappointed that I can't enter and explore it. I was told that only people from other worlds could enter this secret realm.
“Since that’s your request, I’ll oblige.” Philip flew up the stage and quickly landed next to the old monk. Everyone was jealous to see Philip forging a connection with the old monk. Many people at the scene recognized Philip and knew who he was. “Look, isn't that Philip? I can’t believe that the old monk is so interested in Philip. It seems that we can’t take Philip lightly.” “I always thought Philip was a loser, but maybe I’m mistaken.” “He’s on very good terms with the Celestial Palace. Why would you think he was a loser?” Everyone discussed this topic with great interest. Carlos was quite close to Philip, so he felt proud to hear those comments. He knew that everyone was just jealous of Philip. The old monk stretched out his hand and invited Philip to go to his room. Philip nodded at his indication. “You look like a newcomer. Sure enough, the younger generation is taking over the world. For someone at your age to reach this level, you’re certainly a force to be
No one had ever seen the old monk, so they did not know what he was like. Philip and his party soon arrived at Zenith, which looked very grand just like a palace. The large arena in the middle was crowded with people. Everyone was looking at the stage, waiting to pay homage to this legendary old monk. Some people had seen the old monk and heard his lecture in the past. They felt that they had benefited from it, so they arrived early this time to grab a good spot. Others had never seen the old monk, but they knew they would benefit from his lecture about practice. Philip and Carlos squeezed into the middle of the crowd and found seats. Philip was very curious about the old monk and could not wait to see him. Soon, the old monk appeared in front of everyone. He looked very impressive. Seeing his attire, Philip felt that this old man was definitely not an ordinary person. His clothes were very expensive, not something anyone could afford. It was not only in reference to the pr
Rabbit was attacked by the spell before he could react. He stood on the spot blankly, wondering what was going on. Rabbit tried to move when he felt that something was wrong with him. He seemed to have lost control of his body and could not move. “You have no say in this matter. Since you left with me, it means that you've agreed to follow me.” The hooded man was calm. He did not think that Rabbit could escape his clutches easily. After all, the piece of yellow paper was not an ordinary item. He had gone to great lengths to get it. He could control the rabbit’s mind and body fearlessly with that piece of yellow paper. Over time, the rabbit would eventually become his puppet. The hooded man was very excited to think that he would have a powerful helper. Rabbit lost his senses and had no idea what happened. Subconsciously, Rabbit wanted to resist, but he could not for some reason. He could only stand and wait for orders. “Hey, bring me a glass of water,” the hooded man said
“I sense a familiar vibe from you. Where are you from?” Rabbit asked curiously. He had a feeling that this man did not belong to this world. He felt familiar. The man stared at Rabbit while thinking about how to take it away. “I have many secrets. Do you want to know more? Come with me, then. I can give you a good life and help you quickly level up. You can become the best rabbit in existence and stand at the top of this world!” Rabbit hopped over and nodded excitedly. He knew that this person was mysterious and weird, so he wanted to find out more. The hooded man was shocked that this rabbit was dumb enough to leave with him. However, he did not reveal his smugness and just held the rabbit in his arms devoutly. He never thought that he could have such a powerful pet. Thinking of this, he decided to do something to make this rabbit his own. This rabbit had developed intelligence, so it would not agree to become his pet so easily. Rabbit was just leaving with him, but being
