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
While thinking, Philip looked for the voice in front and walked over to see if it was Dion. However, after walking for a long time, he found that the sound was still far away from him, and he seemed to be walking on the same spot. This shocked Philip. What was wrong with him? After walking for a while longer, Philip decided to stay put. There was no point in walking further, and Philip felt as if he was trapped in an illusion at this time, but he did not encounter any strange things. How did he enter the illusion in the first place? Who did this to him? Could it be that strange guy in cloth strips? Had Philip not killed him? “You guessed it right, but there’s no reward.” A familiar voice sounded. The surrounding environment became clear, and a figure appeared not far from Philip in the next second. He was none other than the guy who was drinking and taunting Philip earlier, and as expected, this guy was still alive. “You had already cast the illusion when I attacked
However, that was all, and nothing else happened. Not to mention a way out, but there was not even a ripple. “Damn it!” Philip could not help swearing at this sight. He crossed his arms and started thinking. It seemed that he could not rely on his strength now and could only wait. Meanwhile, in a mountain forest outside, Philip stood quietly in an open space. There was a handprint on the ground, which was obviously done by him. “Are you still resisting? But what else can you do to a surreal illusion like this?” The man with cloth strips looked at Philip and sneered as he held a golden token in hand. This token was obviously the one given to Philip by Sophie earlier, and the man was very interested in it. “The lad who can make that woman take the initiative to give him the token is nothing to shout about.” The man muttered as he fidgeted with the token before putting it away. He was about to leave. He had lost interest in Philip because, in his opinion, Philip was alread
“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
The Hexa Guild also claimed that they would kill anyone from the Celestial Palace. Although upset, no one dared to say anything in the face of the other party’s strength. It would be embarrassing if they could not live up to their claims if they retorted now. Moreover, the battle was a matter of life and death. Everyone was risking their lives. The Celestial Palace had the confidence to face the Hexa Guild now. They believed that they could turn the situation around with their strength or at least show them what they could do. There would be a battle between the two parties in the afternoon, which was the best time to show off their strength. The young lady of the Celestial Palace would be the one contending. After improving her strength, Vanna was full of confidence and vowed to give her opponent a fatal blow or at least let them know how powerful she was. Ronan was nervous. He was not worried about his wife but worried that the Hexa Guild would take things too far. Those
It could be considered returning the favor. Jamie shook his head helplessly. He knew Philip’s kind intentions, but this matter was not so simple. “I know that your wine can improve someone’s strength, but it’s no help to us right now!” The overall strength of the Hexa Guild had increased so much that it went beyond anyone’s comprehension. Carlos turned up at this time. He wanted to talk to Philip about this matter, but Jamie beat him to it. “My friends just told me that the Hexa Guild is hellbent on dealing with everyone, not only us. Anyone up against them will be killed. They must be insane to face any guilds without fear!” Philip was intrigued. They could not be so confident for no reason. They must have encountered an opportunity. “Maybe they encountered an opportunity. I can't be sure about this, but I can at least provide you something to ensure that nothing happens to your people.” After saying this, Philip handed Jamie some pills. Philip was very confident about
It was very suspicious that a bunch of losers became so strong all of a sudden. “Philip, don’t you think something is wrong? I have a feeling that the Hexa Guild did something,” Jamie asked bluntly with mixed feelings about it. There was clearly something wrong with the Hexa Guild. Philip nodded. He had been watching the competition carefully. He could see that these people’s strength had just been improved, and their foundation was not very stable. “Don't think too much. There is a problem with them, and it’s not small either. From the looks of it, they must've taken something that can quickly improve their strength. However, their skills and combat experience can't keep up, so they can only barely manage it.” Philip shook his head helplessly. At this rate, even the members of the Celestial Palace would suffer. Moreover, the Hexa Guild held a big grudge against the Celestial Palace. Once they met, it would definitely be a life-and-death battle. “What should we do? All th
“You should prepare for the competition.” Philip turned and left after saying that. Everyone felt angry at his domineering appearance. Some people had ideas about Philip. “Which guild does Philip belong to?” a man with a sinister face asked angrily. He wanted to know which guild Philip belonged to so that he could go all out to target Philip's guild. Others shook their heads. No one knew much about Philip. At this time, a spy from the Hexa Guild stepped forward. He looked at the man flatteringly and provided all the information he knew. “Philip doesn't belong to any guild, but he’s an honorary elder of the Celestial Palace!” The fact that Philip became an honorary elder of the Celestial Palace had not been made public. Only people keeping a close eye on the Celestial Palace knew about it. The Hexa Guild had always wanted to deal with the Celestial Palace, so they had been keeping a close eye on the latter. They knew all the minor details. The man scowled as if he did
“I can explore the secret realm on your behalf, but why do you think she’d appear there?” Although Philip could not figure it out, maybe the old monk had his reason for saying that. “I’ll explore the secret realm after the guild competition is over. If I can find the woman you’re looking for, I’ll think of a way.” In fact, Philip would rather take the old monk with him. He did not know what the woman looked like, so it was better for the old monk to do it himself. “Sure!” The old monk smiled brightly, surprised that Philip would agree so decisively. The secret realm was full of dangers. He knew that he should not let others take risks for him, but Philip did not ask any questions and even agreed to his request without any hesitation. “I’ll think about it and see if I can find a way to bring you in,” Philip said off-handedly. He still preferred to bring the old monk with him. The old monk was dumbfounded and thought he had heard it wrongly. “What?” The old monk gaped at
