The Page family was quite a big family in Asteroid City and even had a say within the upper echelons. When Philip found out about this, he looked at Jonas. Philip never realized that Jonas was a rich kid. The Page family occupied a huge land area, and the architectural style was quite classic. Two five-star guards stood at the door, which displayed the strength of the Page family. Philip could not help but look at Jonas curiously. “Jonas, you should have nothing to worry about growing up in such a family. Why did you leave in the first place?” Jonas was silent for a moment, nostalgia and helplessness in his eyes—as well as a hint of guilt. “It’s because of my practice.” Jonas sighed. “My family doesn’t allow me to practice Fortuna fortune telling. I insist on practicing it, so I had to leave the family.” Philip was startled and confused. Logically speaking, there was no reason to stop Jonas. Fortuna fortune telling was very mysterious. Why not pass on this technique? Phil
Philip finally understood why Jonas’ family did not allow him to learn fortune telling. With this example, who would dare to let their children and grandchildren learn this skill? If Philip were in the same shoes, he would not agree either. “I see,” Philip said with a sigh. Jonas said no more but walked quickly to his father, wanting to help him. Linus seemed to sense Jonas' movements and stopped in place, waiting for his son's arrival. He held no hatred or resentment for his son, only heartache. Soon, Jonas came to his side and supported him. With tears in his eyes, he said, “Dad, I'm back.” “Welcome home,” Linus responded simply. “Do you have friends with you?” As if aware of Philip and the others, Linus asked. “Yes,” Jonas said without hesitation. Linus paused and said, “Ask your friends to come in. I have something to ask that man too.” Jonas was startled and had a hint of doubt in his eyes but said, “Okay.” Philip walked forward, supported Jonas' father
Linus did not beat about the bush and said, “Indeed, I lost my eyes because of fortune telling. When Jonas was nine years old, I had a whim to predict his future, and that prediction totally blinded me. I saw a secret that I shouldn't have seen.” The muscles on Linus' face twitched as if he was grimacing, and there was also a sense of helplessness and loneliness. Philip chose to remain silent, waiting for Linus to continue. “The prediction stated that ‘the Fortuna shall follow the visitor with the last name Clarke, the crisis of the Page family will be resolved. This son shall turn to dust. By helping this son, holiness can be expected.’” Hearing this prediction, Philip had a guess in his mind, but he did not speak. Linus said, “Do you know what I think about this prediction? “A person with the last name Clarke will come to the Page family, which specializes in Fortuna fortune telling. Since the prediction was made for my son, he’ll follow you when you arrive. The crisis of
An angry voice sounded at the entrance of the Page family's residence. “Linus, you old man, get out here! Who the hell told you not to vote for me? Do you really think your Page family is what it used to be and you don’t have to take anyone else seriously?” “Get out here at once or I’ll massacre your entire Page family today!” Linus took a deep breath. Trouble had arrived. Linus recognized the person who spoke. His name was Diggory, a nine-star powerhouse who grew up relying on his father. He was not very strong, but he had the backing of someone Linus could not afford to mess with. It was a pseudo holy being who controlled four paths. Based on the current categorization, they were at level four of the pseudo holy tier. This person alone was enough to destroy the whole Page family! On the other hand, Philip's face turned cold. He definitely wanted to protect Jonas. Jonas would be of great help to him in the future, and Philip was well aware of this. Moreover, the pr
Philip had comprehended the laws. Even though he used ordinary moves, they became extraordinary as a result of the laws. The surrounding energy poured into Caelum Sword, making it more vibrant. The next moment, Caelum Sword glowed with a green luster. Dozens of wind blades with immense power appeared above the sword energy. Boom! The two men who rushed toward Philip were hit by that energy. Their clothes were ripped apart, and numerous wounds appeared all over their bodies. Many women who saw this scene could not help closing their eyes. Pained expressions appeared on the faces of the two, and they clearly sensed that their energy was being absorbed by the Caelum Sword. The wind blades exploded with terrifying lethality. In just a few seconds, they could not bear it any longer and collapsed. Screams resounded in all directions, and everyone looked at this scene in astonishment. Diggory was petrified, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes. “W-Who the hell is this
Everyone looked at Philip with pity and sympathy. In their opinion, Philip was doomed. Haley, Jonas, and the others came out of the Page family's residence. After seeing this scene, Jonas' expression changed, and he quickly appeared beside Philip. “Mayor, this is bad. You should leave now! There’s a high-level pseudo holy being in Asteroid City, who's also the founder of the mecha unit in Asteroid City. He hates it most when someone destroys his mecha.” Philip frowned. As he was about to speak, Diggory said, “Hahaha, you’re dead! Just you wait!” Suddenly, a roar sounded from the east of Asteroid City. “Who destroyed my mecha?!” A tremendous aura followed, and half of Asteroid City turned red. Philip scowled darkly. He sensed the power of that aura. “This is getting dangerous.” Philip took a deep breath. He might have to use a trump card today. Thinking of this, Philip released the pseudo holy mecha beast in Sin Capital. He was here to get the exotic fire, not to
“If you kill me, this mecha beast will self-combust. You can try if you don’t believe me.” Hearing this, Wilmer froze and looked at Philip with dissatisfaction. “Young man, are you threatening me?” Philip nodded and said, “You're right, I am threatening you.” There was an uproar, and everyone looked at Philip in astonishment. They had seen some bold ones before, but not someone who was so unafraid of death! He dared to admit that he was threatening Wilmer to Wilmer’s face! Was this not the typical act of courting death? Wilmer was stunned as he looked at Philip blankly. He had never encountered someone like Philip before. Jonas looked at Philip speechlessly. As time passed, Wilmer’s expression changed rapidly. After a while, he gritted his teeth and asked, “Tell me what you want before you’re willing to give this mecha beast to me.” Philip laughed. Indeed, this old man could tell it was a mecha lifeform. “You have a good eye to tell that this is a mecha beast,
After a while, Wilmer finally spoke with a grimace, “I can't agree to this. Although I can leave Asteroid City at any time, I grew up here, after all. Diggory and his elder are high-level executives of Asteroid City. I can’t put Asteroid City in danger because of my selfish interests, so I can’t agree to this.” Hearing this, the smile on Philip's face brightened. He liked a person with principles and bottom limits. This proved that Wilmer would also be loyal if he chose to help Philip in the end. At least, he would not betray Philip for profit. On the side, Diggory breathed a sigh of relief and said in delight, “Mr. Wilmer, I think you should just kill him! This guy was just saying empty threats just now! Even if the thing is destroyed, it’s no loss. It’s just a mecha beast. Can’t you just make one?” Wilmer glanced at Diggory in exasperation, his eyes full of dissatisfaction. Maybe others could not tell, but he could. This mecha beast had its individual awareness! In other wo
“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
