After waiting for a while, the burly man returned and said to Philip, “Miss Cleo Lovelace will see you.” Philip nodded and walked into the medical hall. Fennel and the others followed closely behind. The internal layout of the medical hall was quite simple, but there was no medical staff at the front desk or a guide for selling medicine. They followed the burly man to the back of the medical hall only to find that there was more than met the eye. There was a small courtyard inside where Cleo was talking to several guests. She wore a sexy black dress, looking charming and mature. Seeing Philip and the others walking in, Cleo greeted him with a smile and said, “Young Patriarch Clarke, I didn’t expect you to come looking for me.” Philip glanced around at the unfamiliar people in the yard. He looked at Cleo and said, “You know the purpose of my visit.” Of course, Cleo knew. She motioned Philip to sit on the side and said, “You’re here for Wynn’s memory chip, but I’m sor
Cleo said, “Relax, Young Patriarch Clarke. To us, Wynn is the only bargaining chip now. We won’t do anything to her, but we need her to do some things for us.” Hearing this, Philip's eyes became sterner as he said, “I won’t allow you to hurt Wynn! I won’t let the Lovelace family off!” After that, Philip turned around and left the medical hall with the others. After Philip left, Cleo breathed a sigh of relief. Her eyes became cold as she said to the men behind her, “Tell the people at Cochly Mountain to hurry things up.” “Yes, Young Miss!” … After Philip and the others left the medical hall, Fennel asked, “Why didn't you take Cleo as a hostage?” Philip frowned and said, “It's not that simple.” They returned to the hotel. After a day's rest, Philip was invited by Ludo’s attendant to the hotel. It was still the same suite. However, Ludo was not dressed up as a man this time but wore a skimpy dress as she lay on a beach chair with sunglasses on. She was having a drink
However, when he got to the door, he found it tightly locked. “What’s the meaning of this?” Philip asked with a frown, his eyes with a hint of chill. He came to Mystic City firstly because of Wynn and the Lovelace family, secondly because of the Larson family’s secret vault, and thirdly for the secret treasure of the ancient sage. As for the internal battles of the Heavenly Court, he was not interested and did not want to get involved at all. Who knew what people existed in the Heavenly Court? Besides, according to Ludo and the information he found, the Clarke family broke away from the control of the Heavenly Court and developed on its own before it grew to such an enviable scale. Was it possible that the Great Heavenly Kings of the Heavenly Court did not bear a grudge toward the Clarke family or his father? Ludo put down the wine glass, showed off her proud figure, bit her lip, winked her beautiful eyes, and said, “Don't you have any thoughts about me at all?” Phili
“Why not? I don’t have to get involved in this in the first place. Philip added, “I can consider pretending to be your fiance, but I need to put forward my demands too.” “Go ahead.” Of course, Ludo knew that Philip would not help her for no reason. “I need relevant internal information about the Heavenly Court, especially of my parents and also about the real Heavenly Court in history.” After Philip finished speaking, he picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. Ludo thought for a while, pinched her chin with her tender hand, and said, “Okay, it’s a deal!” Soon, Philip left the hotel. As soon as he went out, Philip noticed that he was being followed by several men in black clothes. Philip thought about it and walked along the street until he reached a remote alley. Those guys stood at the entrance of the alley and looked at the surrounding environment. They glanced at each other and pulled out daggers or pistols. When they entered the alley, they realized
As Dumbo Lane was drinking and having fun, he saw his subordinate rushing in. Hearing those words, Dumbo immediately stood up in fright and asked with wide eyes, “Who broke in?” He was sweating profusely! The subordinate covered in blood was just about to reply when a figure full of killing intent at the door kicked a few subordinates away and rushed in. “It’s me!” That declaration exploded in the hall like a thunderbolt! Dumbo looked up and saw Philip barging in alone with murderous eyes. “It’s you? Aren’t you dead yet?” Dumbo panicked, and a trace of doubt flashed in the corner of his eyes. Damn it! He had hired a few expert disciples. Why were so many people unable to take down one opponent? Philip chuckled and walked up to Dumbo. He sat on the sofa, poured a glass of wine, and took a sip. Seeing this, Dumbo’s eyes were full of chills! Damn it! Philip did not take him seriously at all! Outrageous! Dumbo shouted angrily, “Young Patriarch Clarke, this is
Seeing this, Dumbo waved his hand and yelled, “Kill him!” Bang, bang, bang! Rat-tat-tat! In an instant, gunfire filled the hall, and people were sent flying! The furniture and furnishing turned into smithereens! Dumbo thought that Philip would definitely die under such firepower! However, he was wrong—very wrong! That was because he saw that the bullets did Philip no harm at all! He really was a disciple! Roar! With a low roar, a fire chimera rushed out, knocking over a dozen people. They exploded in flames and turned to ashes! Roar! At that moment, the chimera pounced on Dumbo and stomped on his chest with flaming hooves! Dumbo’s face was pale as he fell to the ground, his clothes and hair burning. “Argh! Don’t kill me!” Dumbo yelled miserably. Philip walked out of the hall silently, leaving a pile of bodies behind him that were mostly charred or had already been burned to ashes. “Third Master Lane, what do you think now?” Philip asked with a grin. At
Philip followed the female attendant into Glenrock Den. It was an elegant garden with a simple yet classy atmosphere. There was a small lotus pond, a small gazebo, and many porcelain decorations. Claus was playing chess in the small gazebo with a guard behind him. The guard looked quite imposing with stern eyes and a cold aura exuding from him. Philip entered the small gazebo, bowed slightly, and said, “How do you do, Dragon King Motley?” Claus laughed and said with a wave, “Don’t be so formal. We’re friends here.” Philip sat down and glanced at the chess game on the table. It was very strange, seemingly with all dead ends. “Do you play chess?” Claus asked when he saw Philip looking at the game. Philip smiled, shook his head, and said, “I know a little bit. I've played with my father before.” Claus smiled and said, “That's great. Play this game with me.” Philip did not refuse, and the two began to play against each other. “Do you need to know something?” Claus ask
Claus said, “Look at the arrowhead.” Philip looked at it carefully and saw a golden dragon gate! That was right! It was that symbol! The same one that Philip saw in the space tunnel! It was the logo of the real Heavenly Court! “Have you seen it before?” Claus asked when he saw Philip’s expression. Philip frowned and said with a nod, “Yes, I have.” Claus nodded and said, “This is the logo of the real Heavenly Court. There were many historical records, but they’re very obscure. Moreover, many archaeologists didn’t study this topic in-depth and only thought of it as a coincidence.” Hearing this, Philip nodded and made a chess move. Claus looked at the chess game and shook his head with a smile. He said, “Your chess skills are not bad.” Philip smiled and said, “It's just a coincidence.” Claus got up and invited Philip into the courtyard. The two sat down, chatting while drinking tea. “Mystic City is very complicated. If you want to get something here, you need t
“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
