While talking and joking, the group of four arrived at a restaurant with many people inside, seemingly very lively. Philip sat in a remote corner and ordered some food. After all, they were not here to enjoy but for the Heroes Conference, so no one minded. Moreover, Philip was here for another reason, which was to investigate the situation. People from different walks of life mingled in the restaurant, so maybe he could get some information. “Isn’t the food you ordered a bit too simple? It’s all vegetables. Do you think we’re rabbits?” Dion said in a huff, and Philip was speechless. “Uh, if you’re a rabbit, am I a wolf? You should watch your words around a wolf,” Philip teased. Laurie could not help laughing when she heard that, and Dion pouted. “You, a wolf? You look more like a creep,” Dion said angrily as she petted the cat. The food was served soon, but Philip had no intention of eating. Instead, he was listening to the voices from a private room next door. “I bel
Laurie and the others were waiting for Philip to settle the bill before leaving. Unexpectedly, several strangers walked over, and one of them stared at them with a creepy expression on his face. It immediately made the three women a little disgusted, but they did not say anything because they did not know what these people were doing. “Hey pretty lady, I saw you just now and think we can be good friends. How about it?” The young man looked at Laurie and said with a smile, trying his best to look like a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Laurie frowned. “Sorry, we don't know each other, and I'm not interested in getting to know you,” Laurie said lightly. The young man's face changed when he heard the words. Laurie had obviously insulted him. “Why don’t we get to know each other first? You have nothing to do anyway,” the young man said with a forced smile, and there was a hint of chill in his words. Laurie frowned and slapped the other party. The latter staggered back, which went to
Laurie's strength was really impressive. She was able to take on the young man and his followers, and her skills were more than adept, which showed that she was not using her full strength at all! “I underestimated this woman. She’s so powerful, and I never realized it before. What a shame!” Philip muttered and continued watching the show while snacking. Someone soon appeared beside Philip, twisted his ear, and cursed aloud. “Are you a man? How can you watch my sister fight alone? What if she gets hurt?” “But this matter has nothing to do with me!” Philip shrugged as if he knew nothing about this, and Dion gritted her teeth in anger, wishing she could eat Philip alive. Everything was fine if she did not know about it before, but seeing Philip's expression now, she was absolutely sure that this matter must have something to do with Philip! “Bullsh*t! How does it have nothing to do with you? Even if that’s true, you brought us here, so my sister being harassed does have s
“Maybe not. I think that guy’s a little odd, so it’s not impossible to be afraid.” “I think the other party is up to something. With his strength, I’m sure he can’t be afraid of that guy!” “I don’t know, but I think something is up with that guy’s popcorn. After all, if you think about it, how would a normal person have so many beauties around him? That’s obviously impossible.” Everyone had all sorts of ideas. Philip did not comment but kept staring that the young man who was frowning at Philip while lost in thought. After a long time, the young man finally said, “What are you trying to do? What’s up with the popcorn?” “Nothing’s up. I just want everyone to have some popcorn. Won’t you oblige?” Philip asked evenly. There was no emotion in his words, and everyone was taken aback. “Someone wants to take his women away, and he wants to offer them some popcorn?” “Yeah, is he right in the head?” “Uh, I don't think so. What if he has some tricks up his sleeves?” Many peop
The old man bowed to Philip and refused to get up no matter what Philip said, and Philip could do nothing about it. “My lord, you don’t have to compensate me. It’d be my honor if you can visit my shop more often in the future!” The old man explained, and Philip nodded upon hearing this. Well, it seemed that the old man was frightened out of his wits today, so Philip threw the check on the counter without a word and left with the ladies. They were just out for dinner, and no one expected things to turn out this way, but it did not matter since Philip would not be here for long. Any trouble he caused was fine. As long as he got the Multidew Herb, nothing else mattered to Philip! Philip and the others did not return to the hotel but wandered on the streets instead, buying some things and relaxing. “Say, did you have any idea what happened just now?” Laurie could not help asking, and Philip nodded upon hearing that, not intending to hide it from them. “I did, but I was cu
However, Philip did not call Laurie out on it. After all, this matter had nothing to do with him. If Philip tried to get to the bottom of it, he probably would not find anything out and would be mocked by Dion on top of that. “Okay, I don't know much about these things, so I hope you can help me out by then.” Philip smiled and said to Laurie, who nodded. For some reason, Philip felt that the other party seemed to be blushing! “Is it an illusion?” Philip muttered, but it was not convenient to verify it, so he passed it off as an illusion. However, Philip had to admit that Laurie’s blushing face made Philip's heart flutter a little, but just for a heartbeat. Philip promptly put aside this idea and continued to chat with Laurie. Very soon, they returned to the hotel, and Philip lay on his bed, thinking about something. At this time, the thief looked at Philip with a puzzled look on her face. “Why are you looking at me like that?” Philip asked curiously. The thief was a lit
“That’s right. Everyone is here for the prizes, so we should unite. If we meet each other in the competition, we can hold back a little, as long as it doesn't affect the ranking,” Philip said. Everyone nodded upon hearing that. Humans were creatures of emotions, after all. No matter how grand an event was, everything was rigged behind the scenes. As long as people were present, there must be something behind the scenes, so this was nothing unusual. “In that case, we can be considered allies, but others are probably doing the same too.” Laurie said, and Philip nodded. The Heroes Conference this time had probably attracted many powerful people, and there would be many cliques among them. Whatever they could think of, the other party could definitely think of it too, so they had to take advanced precautions! “Let’s not worry about others. After all, many people have not arrived yet. We don't need to plan ahead. Let’s just take one step at a time and act accordingly,” Laurie said
This person’s face was obscured by black strips of cloth, which made him look very strange, but from his figure and general appearance, he was most likely local. “Who are you?” Philip asked coldly. The other party did not reply but drank his wine, looking at Philip with a contemptuous smile at the same time. “So it’s you. This is really not worth my time, but since I'm here, let me tell you that you’re too weak to even be called trash!” The man in black said lightly before his figure disappeared in a flash. “You want to leave? How can it be so easy? How dare you leave after putting on a show like that?” Philip snorted coldly. He did not say anything before because he wanted this guy to say his piece. Who knew that this guy would run after saying that? Philip chased after him without further ado and struck him. The latter quickly dodged but still got hit. With a bang, the latter fell from the air and disappeared, not even leaving behind a speck of dust. “This is the ou
“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
