Nigella was shocked. She underestimated Philip again, which should not happen to a talent. Even a hare had to go all out in the race against a turtle! However, she got careless. Nigella could not help but sigh. Her indifference gradually faded, replaced by respect. “It seems that I can’t deal with you without using the White Marsh imprint. You've gained my respect.” With that said, a huge strange-looking creature appeared above Nigella's head. This creature had the body of a lion with a single glowing horn on the top of its head. It also had a unique beard like a goat, which looked quite impressive on this creature. A weaker person would feel fear at the sight of this creature. A great change came over Nigella’s eyes, which turned pale gold, and a divine vibe exuded from her. Philip was surprised by this scene. Nigella's White Marsh imprint was quite powerful. “What a pity.” Philip shook his head with a sigh and looked at Nigella “Do you think you can deal with me
“I see.” In the living room of the Page family, Philip nodded thoughtfully after hearing Nigella's explanation of the purpose of her visit. Salvatore Wisteria ordered Nigella to deliver the White Marsh seal to Philip. Although Salvatore acknowledged Philip's White Marsh imprint, many members of the White Marsh royal family did not. As Salvatore mentioned to Philip back then, Philip should avoid using the White Marsh imprint lest he was regarded as an illegitimate child of the White Marsh royal family. Although unpleasant, it was best for Philip. After all, the nine royal families had many opponents and enemies. If Philip did not know how to control himself and used the White Marsh imprint, chimera imprint, and flying snake imprint recklessly, he would inevitably attract the hostility of others. However, Philip was quite smart too. Everyone who saw his imprints was killed, except the White Marsh royal family! He had exposed his White Marsh imprint in public many times by
These forces that had remained standing on the Starfall Continent for ages took great importance to their interests. However, Salvatore's high regard for him caught Philip by surprise. After thinking for a while, Philip cleared away his distracting thoughts and said, “What’s the specific function of the White Marsh seal?” Nigella pondered for a moment before she said, “The White Marsh imprint contains the path of life and the path of light, and since ancient times, White Marsh has been the nemesis of all monster beasts. “The White Marsh seal can increase your comprehension of these two laws in a short time. If you have fully comprehended these two laws, then the White Marsh seal can enhance the power of these laws until they're infinitely close to the power of the great path. “At your current level, the White Marsh seal can be of great help to you.” Philip's eyes lit up when he heard that. He was already practicing five laws. With two more, the total would be seven. Mor
Slight changes came over their expressions. The White Marsh royal family was the most mysterious among the nine royal families. No one knew the true ability of the White Marsh royal family's imprint. No one had ever fought head-on with the White Marsh royal family either, so its presence had always been extremely mysterious since its rise until now. On the current ranking list, just the nine-star list alone, the White Marsh royal family took four positions in the top 30, while the other royal families only had one at the minimum! This proved how powerful the White Marsh royal family was. If Philip really worked with the White Marsh royal family, their operation would be a joke. The atmosphere became awkward for a moment. After a while, Isbert said calmly, “I don't think the White Marsh royal family will help Philip so easily. If the patriarch of the White Marsh royal family isn’t a fool, he won’t let his people take action. “In other words, Philip currently doesn't have
Although they were talents of the royal family in name, there was competition among each other too. Strength determined the resources they could receive. If their family was disappointed with their strength, a reduction of resources would surely follow. It would be a great loss for them. Hilary grimaced and said, “We have no other choice. If we can't complete this family mission, our resources will be deprived. “Philip gives me a very dangerous feeling. Maybe he has a stronger trump card he hasn’t used yet.” The intuition of a talent was very accurate. Once Hilary said this, even Isbert had to take it seriously. After a moment of silence, Isbert said, “Should we get someone from the family, then?” Hilary seemed indignant at this suggestion, but this problem could not be resolved by indignity. “Ask the family to send someone over. This matter is too tricky to handle.” The four people could not help but sigh, and Isbert felt mixed emotions. Someone ranked in the top 1
“Who’s there? No entry without permission within the Page family's territory!” The guard at the door picked up his weapon and pointed it at Verdant and Irvin, his eyes filled with eagerness and a trace of anger and humiliation. Nigella left a very deep impression on them, and the Page family felt insulted. Even if Nigella had worked things out with the Page family, it was difficult for them to forget it. As such, they now gave hostile treatment to visitors who came to the Page family without permission. Verdant smiled and said to the guard, “I’m Verdant, ranked 38 on the nine-star talent list. I'm here to visit Philip and Nigella.” The guard’s attitude changed for the better, but he still did not retract his weapon. He said, “Okay, I see. Please wait for a moment. I’ll pass the message.” The guard picked up his communicator and notified the butler in a low voice. Irvin looked at Verdant with dissatisfaction and said, “Verdant, why are you so polite to the servants?” Ver
If the Page family could take over those positions, the status of the Page family would rise as well, so everyone was very grateful to Philip. Since Philip allowed them entry, the butler would not disobey him. He even went out to greet Verdant. Philip put aside the matter of the chimera imprint for the time being. He called Nigella along and headed to the living room. The Page family's living room was grand but comfortable, and everyone would feel as if they were sitting in the main seat. After Verdant entered, he was surprised and could not help being amazed. “As expected of a Fortuna fortune teller. The layout of this place is really eye-opening. Everyone is a master. This is amazing.” Verdant was generous with his praise, and the butler said with a smile, “You’re too kind, Mr. Verdant. You’re a talent at the peak of nine stars, sure to reach the pseudo holy tier very soon. By then, you’ll be on the same level as our patriarch. He’ll be very happy to hear your compliment.
Irvin’s words dropped like a bombshell. Apart from him and Verdant, everyone else in the living room had different expressions. There was surprise in Philip’s eyes, disdain in Nigella’s, and shock and disbelief in the Page family butler's eyes. Two talents wanted to mess with the nine royal families that had taken root on the Starfall Continent for many years? It was nothing but a joke no matter how anyone looked at it. Verdant smiled and said, “Irvin is used to being outspoken. Please excuse him. However, that’s the gist of it. The nine royal families have ruled over the continent without any problems, but that’s not the case for other practitioner families, many of which have been destroyed.” Verdant looked up at Philip, the meaning in his eyes quite profound. There was a trace of helplessness and longing too. It was the desire to take control of his own life. “Therefore, I want to join forces with all casual practitioners not to stand against the nine royal families
“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
