The other woman nodded and said in a huff, “So what if you’re rich? That arrogant look of yours is really annoying. Compared to you, I prefer that little hooligan.” ‘Little Hooligan’ Philip was speechless. Sure enough, he was branded a hooligan now, but that was okay. “Ahem, buddy, as you can see, money is not always useful. Alas, you should go back and take a good look at yourself in the mirror.” As Philip said that, he turned around and led the two sisters toward the cabin. The rich kid was dumbfounded for a while. After thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong and asked the two people beside him. “What did that kid mean just now? Why should I look in the mirror?” “Um, Young Master, he seems to be implying that you’re ugly.” A young man spoke, and the one in the lead immediately scowled darkly. “Damn it. How dare a rotten punk like him insult me? I’m going to kill that guy and make that two women crawl onto my bed obediently!” The young man gritted his te
The toothpick brushed past the young man's cheek and pierced into the ship's plank with a crisp sound. A small hole was pierced through the metal, which still exuded heat. The young man was so frightened that he almost peed in his pants. He had always been pampered and had never encountered such a thing before. He touched his cheek and found a trace of blood on his hand, obviously injured by the toothpick. “Damn it!” The young man could hardly control himself and was about to rush at Philip but was held back by the two young men beside him. “Forget it, it's not convenient for us to make a move here. Let’s talk about it after we disembark tomorrow.” A young man comforted him, but his hidden meaning was mocking the other party for being ignorant of his strength. If that toothpick was a little off, it would have gone through his head, but he still did not realize it. If the other two were not worried about being implicated in his death, they would not care if he died. “I'm s
Recent events made Philip amused. At first, he had not decided whether to go to the Multiherb Guild of the white tiger royal family on the third continent to find the Multidew Herb or go to the Heroes Conference of the fire phoenix royal family on the first continent, but the decision was made for him. “Since that’s the case, I’ll just go with the flow,” Philip muttered. As Philip pondered, a slightly drunk woman walked by and bumped into Philip inadvertently as she passed by. To outsiders, it was just a girl's unintentional behavior after drinking too much. It was nothing to fuss about, but Philip frowned slightly and put a hand on the other party's shoulder. “Lady, it’s not good to take things from other people.” Philip said lightly. That was right. When this woman passed by him, he felt something was wrong because the woman did not seem drunk at all. Besides, when the woman bumped into him, he felt like he lost something. Although he was not sure, it was true that some
The young man obviously did not expect Philip to grab his arm so quickly. Before he could pull his arm back, it was deformed under Philip’s grasp! “Argh!” The young howled in pain. Philip crushed the bones in his arm in an instant, and he was down in just one exchange. Everyone gasped at this scene, thinking that Philip looked like a gentleman but fought like a savage. The two followers were startled when they saw this and rushed at Philip, but Philip kicked them and broke their ribs in just one blow. The triumphant trio from before fell to the ground groaning in agony, but no one spoke up for them because their earlier attitudes had offended many people. Some people even praised Philip inwardly because he did something no one dared to do. “Are you sure you won’t give it back to me?” At this time, Philip stared at the woman, whose pitiful look had disappeared and was replaced by a cold demeanor. “Oh? That young lady looked quite weak and gentle before. How did she cha
“How is it possible? How can you still move freely?” The woman looked at Philip in disbelief. She had used this method no less than dozens of times and had never missed. Why did she fail now? She had stolen a lot of good stuff with this method and escaped unscathed every time. That was why she could wear branded clothes as a thief. They were easy pickings! “Nothing is impossible. Your mistake was bumping into me. And now I’m curious. Why did you take this token?” Philip asked, puzzled. He had many good things on him, so why did this woman take this token given by Sophie? Was there anything special about it? “Cut the crap and kill me if you want. I won’t tell you anything!” The woman looked at Philip and said coldly, looking as if she was resigned to her death, but Philip was in no rush upon seeing this. He struck the woman on her chest, and energy poured into the latter’s body in an instant. The woman promptly realized that she could not utilize her elemental power now.
At this time, the little white cat looked at Philip curiously before it jumped from his shoulder to his hand. It looked at the wound and shook its head, and a puzzled look crossed its eyes. It stuck out its tongue and tentatively licked the wound. In the next second, its eyes lit up as if it had eaten something delicious. It started to frantically lick Philip's palm. Philip looked down at the strange touch and was confused by the little white cat’s action. What was that little thing doing, eating poison? “What the heck? Don’t poison yourself to death.” Philip exclaimed and tried to push the cat aside, but he was stunned the next second. He found that his wound had healed and the poison had disappeared completely as if nothing had ever happened before. “Did the little thing do this?” Philip looked at the little white cat that was still unsatisfied and felt doubtful. This was his first encounter. After all, even if there was an antidote, it was impossible to recover so qu
“Who dares to kill my grandson? They’ll pay for this!” The old man said coldly, and a murderous aura made everyone around him breathless. “Send someone to keep an eye on the major ports and find the murderer. Find the two useless men too and feed them to the dogs!” The old man said coldly, and a group of people left the manor. Philip had no idea about this. He was still chatting with Dion and Laurie leisurely. Dion was not interested in Philip but rather in Philip's little white cat, and Philip had a flash of inspiration. “Why don’t I appoint you as a poop-shoveling officer and you can help me raise this cat?” Philip spoke, and Dion was taken aback when she heard that. “What post is a poop-shoveling officer?” As Dion had never set foot in the mundane world since she was a child, she was not familiar with modern popular terminology. She asked Laurie beside her, but she had no idea as well. “Uh, don't worry about such details. This cat is yours now, but I have a request
“I’m curious to know who you are. Why did you follow me as soon as I got off the ship? If you want me to go with you, shouldn't you announce yourself first?” Philip asked lightly, and his calm demeanor startled them. “Kid, you should know the answer. You killed the young master of our family. Of course, we’ll keep an eye on you. As for who we are, you’ll know after you come with us. Don't worry, we won't kill you!” The leader said, and a slender whip with sharp barbs appeared in his hand. If he hit someone, he could definitely tear off a piece of flesh from the other party. “Okay then, I'll go with you.” Philip said indifferently. He was quickly surrounded and led in one direction. He got into a car that finally stopped after a long time. Philip got out of the car and looked around. It was a modern manor with a stone signboard at the door with the words ‘the Finn family’. It was very grand but nothing more than that. “The Finn family. Is the person I killed a member of th
Meanwhile, backstage at Moon Tavern, the waiter was telling the woman singing on stage earlier about what had happened in the private room. The woman was full of disbelief, thinking the waiter was lying. “Don’t try to bluff me. How could anyone resist my attack?” The woman wore a veil on her face and looked very mysterious. Only the woman knew how disgusting she looked when she was not performing or casting spells. Covering her face was the best choice. The waiter told her what happened and described the state Philip and the others were in earlier. Although two people were affected, it was a problem because one person had remained conscious.They would face a lot of problems if other people discovered their tricks. The woman's tricks were extraordinary. Even a powerful person with superb strength would find it difficult to get rid of her attack. These so-called strong experts would only end up falling for her trick. At this time, the storyteller went on stage, and he was t
Philip nodded. “Do I have to order something else?” A hint of realization flashed in Philip’s eyes. He realized what was going on. The woman had the ability to bewitch the customers by affecting their thinking and emotions through singing and inducing them into spending money. She exuded a special charm to attract the customers even though she looked ordinary. In their minds, she was an unattainable goddess. Everyone saw a different woman in their minds but charming nonetheless, tempting them to spend money on her even though it would cost them all their fortune. However, Philip was different. He could control his emotions very well, so this woman had almost no influence on him. He realized this problem when he first heard that mysterious song. The waiter scowled and finally left the private room in horror after much deliberation. Philip did not say anything at his hasty departure. The woman quickly left the stage after playing her zither, and the bewitched customers
“Something is wrong. I find that woman a little weird.” Hearing that, they were curious to find out how Philip concluded that. “Although she’s not that good-looking, I don’t think she’s weird. What do you think is wrong with her?” Carlos said in puzzlement, wondering why Philip felt that this woman was weird. “The woman seems to have a fatal attraction to the male customers. It’s a scary ability to make these men flock to her.” It was weird that a woman with average looks could attract so many men. No one would believe that she had a strong appeal. “Welcome to Moon Tavern. I’ll be singing a song for you today. I hope you like it.” The woman's delicate voice rang, and everyone felt relaxed and happy. Even Philip felt that this voice was very charming, like the sound of nature ringing in his ears. However, Philip was not a fool. He keenly sensed something wrong with the situation. Nothing would be charming enough to attract him. For it to happen meant that something was wro
“Give us three pots of tea. We don’t need anything else. Thank you.” Philip did not order anything else. In his opinion, he was just here to find information, so his money should be spent on things that mattered the most. The waiter rolled his eyes at the order and seemed to look down on Philip. “Customers, are you sure you only want a few pots of tea? We have many snacks too,” the waiter said in disdain. Carlos was more concerned about his image, so he was shocked by the waiter’s obvious disdain. “Yes, we only need a pot of tea each. We want to have a taste first.” Adam's attitude was much better, speaking with a friendly smile on his face. Even if the waiter was angry, he could do nothing about it. The waiter left cursing under his breath. He thought that they were big customers, but they did not even give him a tip. Philip glanced at the waiter helplessly. Even waiters were so arrogant nowadays. Philip and the others were quickly served three pots of tea. The pots
Philip was not afraid at all. He knew that someone would target him, but they were just losers. They might be influential, but they were nothing in his eyes. He did not want to cause trouble, but it did not mean he would let anyone insult him. Philip and the others quickly found a tavern that looked quite high-end. “This place looks interesting.” Philip found the various decorations quite novel and knew it would not be cheap. “I don’t think it’s so easy to find any important information here. Just look at the customers and you’ll know that we’ll spend a bomb,” Carlos marveled at the price tag. Adam looked at the menu curiously and was quickly surprised to see how expensive it was for a pot of tea. “A pot of tea costs thousands of crystals?” Adam almost had a meltdown at the price. “Look at the requirements stated on the menu. Each person has to order a minimum of a pot of tea. Anything less than that and we’re not welcomed.” Adam shook his head helplessly and suddenly
“It’ll take a long time for this little fox to become a human. I think you would've found your other half before that happened.” After exchanging some pleasantries, Philip bade farewell to the shopkeeper and left without further ado. They had to hurry up to find the person Adam was looking for.… Meanwhile, Luther hurried back home unhappily. He never dreamed that he would suffer such humiliation one day. As soon as he returned home, a man greeted him. It was none other than his father, who doted on his son. “What's wrong?” He was surprised to see his son ignoring him. His son was always flashy and arrogant, so his behavior was quite unusual. Luther was in no mood to pay attention to his father. He returned to the room angrily without saying a word. “Guard, what’s going on? Did someone bully my son?” Luther's father, Klein, glared at the guard unhappily, blaming the guard for everything. The guard kneeled in fear and felt sorry for himself. “The young sir was brows
The shopkeeper was clearly relieved by Philip’s remark and direct approach. However, he was also embarrassed by Philip’s bluntness. He smiled at Philip awkwardly as an apology. “Why don’t you recommend a pet for my buddy? It should be a stronger one, preferably a combat type!” Philip glanced at Carlos. He knew that Carlos was too embarrassed to take the initiative. Carlos looked at Philip gratefully, letting out a shy chuckle. The shopkeeper recommended several pets to them. Carlos was dazzled by the sight and wanted them all. Adam looked at the scene with satisfaction. Although he had a high position, he did not have a decent pet either. It was difficult to have a pet in their world. With a wave of his hand, Philip generously bought a pet for each of them. At this time, Philip heard a whine from somewhere. He turned his head curiously and looked for the source of the sound. “What’s that noise?” Philip looked at the shopkeeper in confusion, unable to find the source of
Luther was at a loss for how to react. If the rabbit could speak, it had to be stronger than his pet. Although his pet was very powerful, it was just an ordinary creature that could understand some basic instructions and handle normal interactions. A talking pet was simply to die for. “Wow, how can that monster pet speak? It’s a force to be reckoned with.” Luther was shocked to see a talking pet. It was enviable to have such a powerful monster. Before this, he mocked the rabbit for not having any ability, but the tide had turned. He was almost going crazy with jealousy and wished that he could take the rabbit for himself. “I didn't bring my pet along, so I’m afraid I can’t show it to you. Losers like you don’t deserve to see my pet.” Luther acted full of snobbery and disdain, but he clutched his purse awkwardly. In fact, not only did he bring his pet out, but he had also been ready to show it off at any time. After all, his pet was very powerful and could grow bigger or sma
Philip was annoyed by the guy’s ridicule and simply wanted to keep a distance from him. “I don’t care who you are. I don’t want to pay attention to a loser.” After saying this, Philip could not wait to leave this disgusting place. He felt sick at the sight of the guy’s ugly face. Carlos lost the mood to watch the fun. He shook his head helplessly and turned around to leave. However, that guy was used to getting his way. He did not plan to let them leave in one piece. Anyone who offended him had to die. “Surround him. Don’t let him run away!” The man glared at Philip with disdain, sure that Philip would die. Philip was quickly surrounded by a large group of people. They were angry that Philip dared to go against their boss. “Who are you? Where did you come from? How dare you disobey our boss? Didn't he tell you to stop?” a guard yelled angrily. He was clearly a competent lackey, loudly accusing Philip as if he was going to stand up for his boss. “What are you looking at?
