Preston impatiently knocked on the door, which Martha opened. She looked at Preston with some anticipation, surprised that this legendary miracle doctor was so impatient. A few days ago, Wynn mentioned that this miracle doctor had cured their illness. She was very excited and was trying to think of a way to please him. She had thought of many excuses, but none of them seemed appropriate. Unexpectedly, the miracle doctor appeared at her doorstep today. “You’re here, Doctor. We’re about to have dinner. Do you want to join us?” Martha invited him happily. At the thought of having dinner with Philip, Preston quickly agreed. He rushed into Philip's room, wanting to talk to Philip about the auction. Mila was doing her homework with Wynn in the study next door, while Philip was studying medical books and various charms in the room. “Teacher,” Preston opened the door and greeted him tentatively. Philip was a little curious about Preston’s repeated visits. “Why are you here
At this point, Philip had no intention of disclosing this pill to outsiders. With the Stein family on his side, even if someone asked about the pill’s origin, he could say they gave it to him. No one would dare to mess with a practitioner family for no reason, not to mention one of the top families in Rhineville. After a quick meal, Philip and Wynn exchanged a few words before he left the house and followed Preston to the auction venue. “Not only locals will attend this event. There should be many outsiders too.” Preston told Philip to expect many competitors this time. “I just want to have an eye-opening experience and see if there’s anything I need. As for competing with the rich, I’m no match for them at all.” Philip laughed mockingly. Philip had no money now. Everything he had was earned by Wynn when she started her company a few years ago. If not for Wynn’s earning ability, the family might have had to rent a house. Philip took out a camouflage pill and handed it
All the female attendants at the venue wanted to marry into a truly wealthy family and become a rich lady in one fell swoop. “Hey, this person looks familiar.” An attendant looked at the man not far away in surprise. Everyone gathered around and chattered incessantly. “Ella, why do you keep staring at the man over there? Have you taken a fancy to him?” They were concerned about Ella's new target, but she scowled. “The guy over there looks like someone I know!” Ella frowned, thinking that the guy looked very familiar. However, Ella knew that no one she knew would appear here. “Could it be your ex-boyfriend? I see two handsome men standing over there!” “If so, you missed out on a rich kid!” As attendants, they knew that only people with status could come here. That did not include ordinary rich people. Only the affluent were allowed entry to the auction venue. Therefore, other than the extremely rich, only practitioner families were allowed. That was all that th
Philip could have entered the venue earlier, but Preston said that a person of high status did not have to enter so quickly. Although Philip wanted to keep a low profile, he did not want to disapprove of Preston’s suggestion. Indeed, a reclusive family had to display their dignity. Some people lingered at the door without entering the venue too. They glanced at the female attendants from time to time, their minds racing. They were not from wealthy families but simply tagged along with their friends. They usually would not come across such beauties in their average daily lives. As Ella walked over with her friend Tania, everyone smiled at them lecherously. “Here they come. It’s the goddess I’ve been keeping my eye on. She must be here for me!” “Nonsense, she’s here for me!” As they chattered excitedly, Ella went up to Philip. “Are you Philip Clarke?” Ella smiled brightly, looking very gentle. “Who are you?” Philip frowned, not knowing who she was. Philip though
Ella was furious at Philip’s aloof reaction. Philip did not have a good impression of Ella. Besides, she always liked to badmouth him. However, everything was in the past, and Philip had no intention of holding a grudge against her. With Philip disregarding her, Ella felt that her dignity was ruffled. In Ella’s opinion, if Philip was from a wealthy family, it would be acceptable if he looked down on her. However, now that the Clarke family was gone, Philip was nothing but a sore loser! How dare he speak to her so arrogantly? When energy first revived back then, many people moved to this city. She did not expect to see Philip too. What bad luck! Unlike Philip, she came here looking for a job, while Philip must be on the run! Their status was different now. She was a distinguished woman waiting to marry into a wealthy family. What about Philip? He was nothing but a rat on the streets! Feeling angry, Ella's scowl grew bigger. Tania noticed her expression and deci
Tania stared at Preston blankly, at a loss of what to do. “You loser! You dare to look for help? How dare you mess with us?!” Tania rushed forward and grabbed Preston. “Security, come quickly! Someone is assaulting my friend!” Not many people noticed the commotion here, but Tania’s shout attracted everyone’s attention. Those who had not entered the venue quickly came over to watch the excitement, while some came out from the venue too. Tania grabbed a random onlooker. “Sir, you should have seen everything just now. They hurt my friend first!” Tania delicately leaned against the other party as she spoke. This guy was just an ordinary rich man who tagged along with his friends. Faced with Tania’s charms, he quickly fell under her spell. Several other men who wanted to please the beautiful women also stepped forward. They accused Philip and Preston and expressed their willingness to stand up for justice. Preston glanced at Philip with a hint of question in his eyes.
As attendants, Tania and Ella should be taking care of the guests at this moment. Instead, they had a conflict with the guests at the entrance and were beaten to a pulp. This would greatly impact the reputation of the Nonagon Hotel! If their competitors got hold of evidence about this incident and contacted the media to kick up a big fuss, they would be doomed. “Captain, you must speak up for us. This guy beat us for no reason. He doesn’t respect us at all!” Tania said fiercely. She hated Philip and Preston with all her heart now. Ella struggled to stand up. She felt that her ribs were broken, but in order to get Philip into trouble, she chose to endure the pain. “This guy refused to keep his hands to himself and even hit me!” Ella got the job here with the help of one of her ex-boyfriends. Although they had broken up, she still worked as an attendant. Everyone knew that she had a relationship with someone from the hotel’s management team, so they always tried to plea
Clarence was shocked to discover that he had messed with a legendary figure! Even though they were from the same city, he did not know much about this family. However, everyone knew that the Stein family was full of outstanding doctors. He simply could not afford to mess with such a family. The security captain’s knees went weak. Tania trembled with anger too. She just wanted to find a rich husband, but Ella tricked her. If she had known that this young man was the young master of the Stein family, she would not have dared to join in the fun no matter what. The young master of the Stein family was no simple matter! The Steins were a practitioner family on top of being wealthy. These people would kill without batting an eye, and messing with them meant death. Even the security captain's legs trembled. This young master rarely appeared in public, so it was normal that he was not able to recognize him. Seeing how Preston fawned over Philip, no one dared to check out
“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
