“Please excuse my ignorance. This way, please!” With that said, the manager bowed and led Philip inside. However, his face was full of wicked smiles as if he had seen a big prey. “I have ten million star dollars here. Let’s see how we can play today. If things don’t go well, I’m afraid I’ll lose everything to you.” Philip waved the communicator in his hand and said self-deprecatingly. “We wouldn’t dare.” The manager said so but secretly called someone specially hired by their casino. Philip came to a spinning wheel full of holes, and a pipe was located on the top of the wheel. “How does this work?” Philip asked. The manager pressed a button, and the wheel spun faster and faster. A small ball was fired through the pipe onto the wheel. After spinning around with a loud tinkling sound, the ball finally fell into hole number 36. Philip explored the inside of the machine with his senses, but there was a large magic circle here that prevented people’s detection. Despite
The blue iron plankton seemed like it was dying. Philip pretended to lie on the edge of the table and urged it along. Seeing the others quickly overtaking it, Philip cursed the iron plankton. “I chose you not to see you stop here. Hurry up and move it, you piece of trash!” Philip was hysterical. Next to him, Carl grabbed hold of this Sir Gordon Tine tightly. His eyes gradually dimmed. It seemed that this expert was useless now. Soon, iron plankton number seven was the first to reach the finish line through numerous obstacles. That person played his part well, pretending to be very shocked and excited. They lost one million just like that. Carl looked helplessly at Philip, who was lying on the table and kicking a fuss to win it back. “Sir, let’s stop playing. We can pay back what we owe by working.” At this time, Philip looked as if he was buzzed from gambling. Philip pushed Carl and said viciously, “This is my game. As an outsider, you have no say over it.” The manager
The others did not pay much attention to this. After all, iron plankton would go fast or slow at any time. Although all the iron plankton was rigged, it was mostly targeted at the customer’s iron plankton. Philip did the same on the second one, but it was not easy to do the same on the third one for fear of arousing suspicion. Thus, Philip added a little boost on the back of his iron plankton number two and saw a significant increase in its speed. “Go, go, go!” Philip cheered frantically. Carl also looked excited at the sight of possible victory. That iron plankton finally overtook iron plankton number three at the last minute and reached the finish line. With a smile on his face, Philip quickly swept all the chips in front of him into his arms while Carl still looked a little dumbfounded. They won all of a sudden, and so much too. The manager scowled, but he could not say anything. He threw in more than 12 million in one go. His boss would peel his hide if he found out a
“You’re almost in my face. Why are you yelling so loudly? Is there something wrong with your eyes?” Philip sneered before continuing, “I’m the one messing around. What’s the problem?” “I advise you not to be so cocky. You’ll get beaten up like this.” The middle-aged man saw that this man was so arrogant and spoke coldly. The manager hurried up to this man, told him what happened, and was scolded by the boss, “Trash! How dare you believe in magic tricks? You let a beggar into my casino. I think you must be tired of living!” “Boss, please spare my life. I won’t dare to do this anymore!” The manager fell to his knees and begged for mercy. The man kicked the manager away and said, “Hurry up and get out of my sight. Don’t let me see you again.” The two continued to glare at each other, and Philip said, “Where's the money I won?” “What money? You didn’t win any money.” The boss tried to play dirty and said arrogantly, “Don't think that you can win money from me by playing
Philip had long noticed the boss’ movements but did not call him out. Suddenly, a cold light flashed in front of his eyes. With a fierce killing intent, the middle-aged man wanted to stab Philip's eye socket with a dagger. When he thought he was about to succeed, a huge gust of air gushed out from Philip's body, and the man could hardly open his eyes from the huge pressure. When he opened his eyes again, his dagger was firmly clamped by the man in front of him with two fingers. Philip’s hair was all messed up by the strong wind. His eyes pierced into the boss' mind like sharp swords, and his dagger could not break free from that vice-like grip no matter what. “You have no chance. Tell me how you want to deal with this.” As Philip spoke, he took a step forward, grabbed the man by the collar, and lifted him. “M-My father is the leader of Mountain Wolf Squad! You can't do anything to me!” Although the middle-aged man lost his composure, he still tried his best to keep his
The group of people insisted on buying Philip dinner to repay Philip for saving them. Philip tried his best to refuse but to no avail. Carl got anxious in the end before Philip finally agreed. However, Philip detected someone with his senses from the Golden Lotus Casino who had been following them the entire way. It seemed that the boss was unwilling to give up. That so-called Mountain Wolf Squad would probably find trouble with them later. There were five men and three women in this group of nine, and all of them looked quite inexperienced. If Philip were not here, they probably would not have noticed the danger. A quirky little girl in the team kept asking Philip why he did not cut his hair and beard when he was so rich. She was the one who advanced with the help of the stone fruit. Philip finally replied, “I'm afraid you’ll faint from my good looks.” The girl was stunned for a moment before she laughed loudly and said, “Sir, you’re so funny.” Next to her, Carl grabbed
After the meal, Philip left with Carl’s contact details, and the other party returned to the hotel. “Where are you from?” Philip asked loudly. At this time, three people came out of the shadows between the buildings. Philip had seen one of them before. He was one of the captors. “The leader of Mountain Wolf Squad would like to see you. Can you come with us?” Although the man in the middle posed it as a question, he adjusted the gun on his waist, meaning that things would turn rough if Philip refused. Philip felt amused. Among the three, two were in the middle stage of seven stars while the other one was in the early stage of seven stars. It seemed that the power he displayed just now was not a strong enough deterrent. “Lead the way,” Philip said with his hands behind his back. “Okay, you’re smart enough.” The man thought Philip was a fool who had no fear of death and said with a grin. Philip and the three walked out of the building and came to an independent high-rise
The smell of meat permeated the whole room, and those who did not know would think they were having a barbecue. “Damn boy, how dare you?!” the wolfman bared his fangs in pain and glared at Philip as he howled. With the help of his subordinates, the flames were extinguished, but the neatly groomed hair on his body was now scorched and burnt, making him look unkempt. “I’m going to rip you apart!” The wolfman growled and rushed toward Philip again. His sharp claws flashed with cold light as he swiped at Philip’s neck. Seeing this, Caelum Sword flashed with a fiery red as Philip blocked his attack. With a bang, Philip staggered a few steps back, his arms numb from the impact. The wolf was unbothered. A piece of flesh was burned off his arm, but it posed no threat to him. Immediately, he launched a fierce attack on Philip, and the wolfmen gained the upper hand for a while due to their advantage in numbers. On the other hand, Philip resisted in a leisurely manner. He was th
“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
“What's going on? What drug did he take? It’s so powerful!” Jeff exclaimed in horror. All his attacks were ineffective, so what about Hogster’s attacks? At this time, Hogster attacked Jeff. His invincible mode would only last a few minutes. He had to seize the opportunity to take Jeff down. However, Hogster was not worried at all. In his opinion, dealing with Jeff was just a matter of seconds. “Go to hell!” Hogster made his move. He launched a killing move without holding back at all. Jeff was no match for Hogster at all. He was sent flying and fell to the ground miserably. Everyone looked at him with pity. Jeff spat a mouthful of blood and looked at Hogster in horror. Hogster had become so strong that he was no match for him at all. “Hehe, is that all you can take?” Hogster sneered. He was about to kill Jeff when the latter took out a pill from his pocket and swallowed it. It was the same pill he had taken earlier. Sure enough, Jeff was back to normal after taking
“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
