It was unusual for Philip to appear here! “Why are you in such a hurry?” Philip asked with a smile. Celia took a step back and leaned on the car. “Mind your own business!” Touching the long whip on her waist, she felt a little more confident. She was an expert at the peak of the first zone. Why should she be afraid of a loser? Wynn and Mila walked out. Wynn had heard the kidnappers' conversation earlier and knew that their employer would be here soon. Despite that, Wynn never expected that the person who kidnapped her would be Celia. “It’s you?” Wynn frowned. She and Celia were considered business acquaintances. They were both female CEOs in Rhineville and should be helping each other. She did not expect Celia to do this to her. “Why not? You’ve been a thorn in my side for a long time! As CEOs, we're meant to keep every penny in our own pockets, but you try every means to give your money away! I’m very pissed off at you just because of this!” Celia disliked Wynn
In this remote wilderness, however, no one would know what he did. In that case, Philip would send Celia on the way. “You're right. The world belongs to practitioners, and strength is the most important thing. The strong can kill and wreak havoc without restraint, right?” Philip said indifferently, which sent chills up Celia’s spine. She never thought that someone could exude such strong killing intent, and this person was standing in front of her. “W-What do you want? Do you think you can go against my family?” She swung her whip across Philip’s face. Celia was frightened. She had to do something to let Philip know how powerful she was. Philip raised his hand and caught the whip. It had been infused with energy and struck with a mighty force. Philip had restored his energy veins and was at the peak of one star now, even stronger than Celia, who was at the peak of the first zone. Seeing how easily Philip caught her whip, Celia panicked. Without a clue of what to d
Philip had no idea why the world turned out like this as if people were meant to be killed. It was true that those with the greatest strength had the final say, but the strong should unite to restore order and maintain social peace. Wynn turned around and hugged Mila. She knew what Philip would do, so she was not at all frightened by this scene. Instead, she took her daughter away as if she was used to it. After getting rid of Celia, Philip knew someone would be on his tail soon. He had to become stronger quickly to withstand Celia's family’s retaliation. Moreover, he could only find his family after getting stronger. He had no idea what had become of his grandfather. He had gained something from this incident. At least, he had learned something about the Clarke family through the interrogation. “What will you do next? Fight your way into their family and ask them about it?” Wynn asked as she covered Mila’s eyes and strode forward briskly. No matter what happened, she
Since Preston was here to see Philip, Wynn wisely took Mila to the room and left them in the study. Preston followed Philip into the study and smiled sneakily. “Teacher…” Seeing that smile, Philip felt a little nervous. Frowning, he said, “I have a wife and kids!” Hearing that, Preston knew that Philip must have misunderstood him! “Teacher, don’t misunderstand me. I know you don’t have a phone, so I bought you the latest model. I even got you an exclusive phone number!” Preston took out a new phone and a phone number with ten digits of eight. Philip was stunned by this phone number. Although he was not particular about phone numbers, he was a wealthy kid and knew how much this number would sell for! “This phone number is pretty good,” Philip complimented Preston, knowing that this number was worth at least several million. “Oh, this is nothing. All the rich people are busy practicing nowadays, so no one is bothered about buying phone numbers. I only spent three mill
An hour later, Preston left Philip's home in delight. Wynn walked over happily. “Philip, my dad is back from his business trip.” Philip stood up to see his father-in-law. They had not seen each other for three years. He wondered if Charles hated him as much as Martha. Philip walked out of the room and saw Charles changing his shoes. They looked at each other, and Charles was caught by surprise. “You’re back?” Charles’ voice was filled with surprise and excitement. Charles was a down-to-earth person. He had always thought that Philip was a man of good character, responsible, and a dependable son-in-law. Although he went missing for three years, he knew very well that Philip had reasons for his disappearance after what had happened to the Clarke family. “Dad, I’m back,” Philip said solemnly. Charles’ eyes flickered with tears. As the only man in the family, he had been struggling alone for the past three years. It was great to finally have someone else to protect
Martha was slapped silly and immediately argued with Charles. Philip knew that everyone had had a hard time, so he did not dwell on it. After dinner, he went for a jog alone in the park. During dinner, he recalled the mysterious post he saw while surfing the internet. With the latest smartphone on hand, he no longer had to go to an internet cafe to surf the internet. Philip looked for the post and found that it had been pinned at the top. The original poster's additional reply was found below the post. [In two weeks, Rhineville will face a terrifying crisis. I predict that only one person can save us from this crisis, but the prediction is very vague! I advise everyone in this area to evacuate quickly. Please believe me! [I’ve contacted the administrator to pin this post at the top. The administrator has verified my identity, so everyone can rest assured.] Philip was puzzled by the other party’s frantic posts. Based on the other party's username, this person should be a
Berg excitedly stepped forward and grabbed Montel's shoulders, squeezing the latter so hard that he bared his teeth. “Hurry up and tell me what’s going on. If you really found a descendant of the Clarke family, you’ll be our hero!” Berg was a little incoherent from his excitement. He stared at his son, waiting for his explanation. The others forgot all about the topic of their meeting. They dragged Montel to the couch in the middle and told him to explain. “We predicted that something would happen to Rhineville in half a month, didn’t we? All of you figured out that the descendants of the Clarke family could solve this problem. "So, I posted a message on the internet to warn everyone about this danger. Surprisingly, someone replied to my message and asked me to contact them. I checked the person's identity and found out that he's a descendant of the Clarke family!” Berg applauded and praised Montel, “Well done. In this new era, we need to use a different method to achieve o
Everyone in the living room looked happy and excited. “That's great. We haven't found anyone from the Clarke family after so long. We've been feeling as though we're lost out at sea because of it!" “Someone has to demand an explanation for what happened to the Clarke family back then!” Everyone discussed it in a celebratory mood. Highford was quite a distance away from Rhineville. After several hours of flight, Montel finally arrived at Rhineville airport. “Wow, this place is really tiny. I wonder if they have fiber optic internet access here.” After Montel got off the plane, he immediately rented a car. After all, it was very inconvenient to go around without transport. It was his dad’s card anyway, so he could spend as much as he wanted. The Zucker family was very wealthy. Even if he spent money like crazy, it would not make a dent in their finances. Meanwhile, the Skater family was not having a good time. The head of the family, Lucius Skater, sat in his chair a
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
“The truth is that I have a favor to ask of you, but I’m afraid of overstepping the line, so…” The old monk knew that his action was inappropriate, so he was conflicted and wondered how he should ask for Philip’s help. Philip was interested upon hearing that the old monk needed a favor. He wanted to know what stumped him. With his strength and status, the old monk should be omnipotent. “Feel free to speak your mind. If I can handle it, I don’t mind lending a helping hand.” Philip would not help for no reason. If the other party was willing to pay the price, he would not refuse. The old monk was excited to hear Philip’s agreement. “I have the location of a secret realm. I tried to enter it once, but the secret realm told me that I couldn’t enter it,” the old monk said with regret. “There should be a lot of good things in this secret realm, so I’m very disappointed that I can't enter and explore it. I was told that only people from other worlds could enter this secret realm.
“Since that’s your request, I’ll oblige.” Philip flew up the stage and quickly landed next to the old monk. Everyone was jealous to see Philip forging a connection with the old monk. Many people at the scene recognized Philip and knew who he was. “Look, isn't that Philip? I can’t believe that the old monk is so interested in Philip. It seems that we can’t take Philip lightly.” “I always thought Philip was a loser, but maybe I’m mistaken.” “He’s on very good terms with the Celestial Palace. Why would you think he was a loser?” Everyone discussed this topic with great interest. Carlos was quite close to Philip, so he felt proud to hear those comments. He knew that everyone was just jealous of Philip. The old monk stretched out his hand and invited Philip to go to his room. Philip nodded at his indication. “You look like a newcomer. Sure enough, the younger generation is taking over the world. For someone at your age to reach this level, you’re certainly a force to be
No one had ever seen the old monk, so they did not know what he was like. Philip and his party soon arrived at Zenith, which looked very grand just like a palace. The large arena in the middle was crowded with people. Everyone was looking at the stage, waiting to pay homage to this legendary old monk. Some people had seen the old monk and heard his lecture in the past. They felt that they had benefited from it, so they arrived early this time to grab a good spot. Others had never seen the old monk, but they knew they would benefit from his lecture about practice. Philip and Carlos squeezed into the middle of the crowd and found seats. Philip was very curious about the old monk and could not wait to see him. Soon, the old monk appeared in front of everyone. He looked very impressive. Seeing his attire, Philip felt that this old man was definitely not an ordinary person. His clothes were very expensive, not something anyone could afford. It was not only in reference to the pr
Rabbit was attacked by the spell before he could react. He stood on the spot blankly, wondering what was going on. Rabbit tried to move when he felt that something was wrong with him. He seemed to have lost control of his body and could not move. “You have no say in this matter. Since you left with me, it means that you've agreed to follow me.” The hooded man was calm. He did not think that Rabbit could escape his clutches easily. After all, the piece of yellow paper was not an ordinary item. He had gone to great lengths to get it. He could control the rabbit’s mind and body fearlessly with that piece of yellow paper. Over time, the rabbit would eventually become his puppet. The hooded man was very excited to think that he would have a powerful helper. Rabbit lost his senses and had no idea what happened. Subconsciously, Rabbit wanted to resist, but he could not for some reason. He could only stand and wait for orders. “Hey, bring me a glass of water,” the hooded man said
“I sense a familiar vibe from you. Where are you from?” Rabbit asked curiously. He had a feeling that this man did not belong to this world. He felt familiar. The man stared at Rabbit while thinking about how to take it away. “I have many secrets. Do you want to know more? Come with me, then. I can give you a good life and help you quickly level up. You can become the best rabbit in existence and stand at the top of this world!” Rabbit hopped over and nodded excitedly. He knew that this person was mysterious and weird, so he wanted to find out more. The hooded man was shocked that this rabbit was dumb enough to leave with him. However, he did not reveal his smugness and just held the rabbit in his arms devoutly. He never thought that he could have such a powerful pet. Thinking of this, he decided to do something to make this rabbit his own. This rabbit had developed intelligence, so it would not agree to become his pet so easily. Rabbit was just leaving with him, but being
