The head of the family who took the lead saw Philip's icy eyes at this moment and trembled. He suppressed the panic in his heart and said, “Y-Yes. Why should we believe that you’re Mr. Clarke just because you said so? None of us have seen Mr. Clarke before. What if you’re an impostor? Besides, would Mr. Clarke be a young kid like you? Let the real Mr. Clarke come out. The heads of the families in Beechwood City are not that easy to fool.” After the man finished speaking, the other heads of families also echoed. “That’s right! Tell Mr. Clarke to come out. Since we were invited here, why bother to hide?” “Does Mr. Clarke look down on us and want to intimidate us? In that case, why should he find such a young kid to take his place?” “Hmph, if Mr. Clarke refuses to see us, why bother with this banquet? Let’s go!” After saying that, a few people took the lead and turned around to leave. However, when they reached the door, several fully armed guards there showed no signs of open
At this moment, Philip calmly stepped forward and said, “Excuse me, everyone. I have a bad habit, and I ask everyone not to disobey my orders. Since I’ve gathered everyone together, I want to talk to everyone in a harmonious environment. As for such bloodshed, it was completely an accident.” An accident? All the family heads sweated profusely. He was making an example! Was this young man really that Mr. Clarke?! At this moment, at the main table, Ernest’s and Cyril’s expressions looked very ugly! That was because Philip had killed a family head in Beechwood City right in front of them! It was an act of intimidation! Ernest angrily squeezed the teacup in his hand, which shattered immediately. He was just about to slap the table in anger and stand up when Cyril quickly grabbed him and said, “Villa Master Turner, Patriarch Farley’s death is no big deal. We must stay calm and see what Mr. Clarke wants to do next.” Ernest snorted, his eyes full of anger! On this side, P
Crack! The teacup in Ernest's hand shattered again. He looked at Philip sullenly and said, “Mr. Clarke, watch your words. The combined strength of all the family heads in this hall isn’t something one Singer family can be compared to! Even though you destroyed the Singer family with your extraordinary power and shook the entire North, no matter how powerful you are, I'm afraid it's not that easy to wipe out all the family heads in this hall.” After saying this, Ernest sneered threateningly. Philip said indifferently, “We won’t know until we try.” Hearing this, Ernest frowned and asked, “Are you saying that you plan to challenge the Northern supernatural disciple world?” Philip said with a smile, “Villa Master Turner, you’ve misunderstood. It’s best to settle things peacefully. If you promise to step down from the position of villa master and leave it to me to make manpower arrangements, those things you just mentioned won’t happen. I’m determined to unify the North and the So
Facing the excited crowd, Leon reminded Philip in a low voice, “Young Patriarch Clarke, there’s no need to anger the crowd at this time. Otherwise, it won’t end well.” Philip naturally understood. He got up and said, “Villa Master Turner, why don’t we make a bet?” Hearing this, Ernest frowned and asked, “What bet?” “Five days later, the disciple competition between the North and the South will be held. Why don’t we put all the long-standing grievances between the North and the South in this competition? Whoever wins will have the right to determine the rules of the supernatural disciple world in the entire country. What do you think?” Philip said lightly with a faint smile in the corner of his eyes. Hearing that, Ernest was taken aback before he smiled and said, “Mr. Clarke, I'm afraid you still don't know the results of the previous North-South competitions. Hahaha, since you said so, I’ll accept it!” With that said, Ernest turned around and left with his people. This ti
In the next two days, Philip remained in Beechwood City. He accompanied Mila while contemplating with Leon and the others on the gap between the supernatural disciples of the North and the South. At the same time, he carefully investigated the strength of the disciples on the ranking list. The discussion between Philip and Leon was almost done. “Young Patriarch Clarke, this is the participant list for the disciple competition three days later. Please have a look and see if any changes need to be made.” At this time, Leon walked into the suite and saw Mila sitting on Philip’s lap, giggling happily away. Philip nodded, took the list, and glanced through it. His expression became a little ugly as he asked, “Are these the top experts and talents of the southern supernatural disciple world?” Leon looked a little ashamed as he said, “Young Patriarch Clarke, to be frank, these are the only talents we have in the South. Due to the difference between the North and the South, we have
“Young Master Clarke, Stanley Berry is none other than the son of Cooper Berry, the deputy consul of the Nonagon. With his extraordinary strength, he has long entered the realm of the king of disciples in the sixth zone. But he has kept a low profile and is a very tricky person to deal with!” Leon explained worriedly. Although he knew that Philip and Fennel had reached the realm of the king of disciples in the sixth zone, Terrain Villa had also entered two kings of disciples in the sixth zone to compete. Stanley was one of them, and the other one was none other than the eldest son of the Singer family, Auric Singer! Therefore, even with Ray Warren, Philip, Fennel, and another genius on Leon’s side, they only had a 40% chance of winning at the most. Once Philip and Fennel went up against Auric and Stanley, the outcome of the two matches would be difficult to predict. After all, no one knew exactly how strong those two really were. Philip’s face was very dark at this moment
Hearing that, Leon looked at the two and scrutinized them for a moment. He asked, “Young Patriarch Clarke, with all due respect, I can’t tell their levels. They don’t seem to display any fluctuations in the power of rules or energy. Are they not disciples?” Philip smiled and said, “Yes and no. The good show is about to come. Let’s watch and see.” Hearing this, Leon did not know what to say but paid more attention to Ethan and Rick. Maybe Philip had his ideas. Since he had decided, Leon did not object and said, “I'll change the list right now and send it out tomorrow.” Philip nodded and left the rest of the minor details to Leon. Together with Ethan, Rick, and Fennel, Philip went to the largest nightclub in Beechwood City for some fun. The four rarely got together, so having some fun was a must. The biggest night entertainment area in Beechwood City was not indoors but an entire street filled with bars and private clubs. It was the largest and most prosperous street in
The woman leaned close to Philip's ear and said seductively, “It’s okay if you want to bring us to a hotel.” This was a blatant temptation. In general, the three women looked good with shapely figures. They could be considered goddesses. Other ordinary youngsters might fall for them. However, Philip was different. He was an old hand at this. He took a sip of the beer in his hand and said with a light smile, “It’s okay. Our health is more important when we’re out.” This remark annoyed that woman. She stood up with a scowl, slapped the glass from Philip’s hand, and scolded, “What do you mean by that? Are you saying that I’m dirty? Do you know who I am? How dare you come to Jumbo Bar if you don’t have money? You’re even looking down on me! You're looking for death!” Philip frowned, looked at the woman in exasperation, and said, “Miss, you’re the one who came here to promote drinks. You don’t have to do this even if I refuse.” Hmph! The woman snorted coldly and put her
“You must be referring to the lark people. What do you want with them? They're not to be trifled with. You’ll be in trouble if you mess with them.” Everyone was delighted to hear about the lark people. It was great that someone knew something. Adam was very excited to find a clue as soon as they arrived. He had thought it would take a lot of effort to find something, but reality proved otherwise. “The lark people can be regarded as the overlords here. You can find out about them easily. I'm just an ordinary old woman, so I can't tell you too much. You should approach other people if you want to find out more. Maybe you can find a storyteller. I’m sure they can tell you some very important information.” The old lady was clearly unwilling to disclose anything, so everyone was disappointed. In that case, they could not force her. “Thank you very much. At least you gave us an inkling about what to do. We wouldn’t know so many things if it weren't for you.” Adam thanked the old
“I heard that her family is quite complicated. They seem quite troublesome.” Hearing that, everyone wondered what Adam meant. It seemed that he would face problems in pursuing a relationship with this woman. Carlos looked at Adam awkwardly and sighed. “It doesn't matter. We don’t have to worry about that. Let's just take things one step at a time.” Rabbit calmly drifted around with Philip, feeling quite good. “What's there to worry about? I say the old monk has nothing better to do than worry about trivial matters. It’d be embarrassing if so many of us couldn’t bring a woman back.” Until now, Rabbit felt that the other party was just an ordinary woman, so he did not think that there was anything to worry about. They quickly joined the line to enter the city. To Philip's surprise, there was no entrance fee at all. Moreover, their appearance and attire looked no different from the others. Philip and his friends calmly entered the place, and Philip stood on guard. He had a
Philip felt helpless at the sight of this vast starry sky and suddenly felt that maybe coming here was not the right choice. They arrived without knowing anything about this place, so they might encounter various dangers. “I’m curious about the woman you've been looking for. She must be quite extraordinary,” Philip said curiously, baffled about this matter. Hearing that, Adam shook his head helplessly. He was really clueless about everything. “I only know that I can come here and find her with the key. I don’t even know where she is. We can only search aimlessly in this starry sky.” Philip was dumbfounded by Adam’s incompetence. “I thought we’d be teleported to her home or a fixed location, so I don’t know what’s the deal with this. I have a feeling that I’ve been tricked.” Adam sighed helplessly. “Let's just wander around. I’m sure we can find something somehow,” Carlos comforted Adam, but he was not optimistic about it either. He knew that they probably could not find the
Adam had to reevaluate Philip’s strength. He used to think that Philip was simply the best of his generation. Although powerful, he was not invincible. However, the ability to change certain orders and rules was not something that just anyone had. It would not be far-fetched to call Philip the chosen one favored by the heavens. Philip told Carlos to bury Bryce before forgetting about him. Carlos quickly handled his affairs, packed his bags, and got ready to set off with Philip. Adam also waited for Philip without much luggage on hand. Philip stuffed Rabbit into the Verge Tower space. He had to bring Rabbit along with him or the latter would be up to no good. “Rabbit, stay in Verge Tower and stop bothering me.” Rabbit was upset to hear that he had to stay in Verge Tower but still felt happy that Philip was willing to take him along. “Next, the two of you need to relax. I’ll wrap you with my energy. Don't try to resist or you’ll only end up hurting yourself,” Philip said.
“I have other important things to do. Don't worry. I’ll be back soon, so make sure you work hard during this time. I’ve given you all the pills you need. Whether you can make full use of them depends on you.” In Philip’s opinion, the Hexa Guild could not do anything anymore, so there was no worry about them. After much deliberation, Jamie nodded. Philip did not belong to his guild, so he could hardly stop Philip from leaving. Moreover, Philip’s pill supply was already a great help to them. It would be annoying if Jamie asked for more. “No problem. Where are you going next? Do you need my help? I’ll do my best to help you.” The Celestial Palace was powerful enough for Jamie to say such things. Philip shook his head. He would be traveling with Adam next, and his strength was incredible. It was best for them to leave together. “It’s okay. I have everything prepared. Just do your best in the competition and don’t allow the Hexa Guild to take the upper hand.” Now that the Cele
“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
