The Skater family's villa was in a remote location. They had eyed the entire piece of land back then. Nowadays, private permanent ownership rights were no longer allowed for land purchase, but the Skater family wanted to reign over an area. Thus, they bought the villa on an extremely remote hilltop. They wanted to excavate this mountain under everyone’s noses and turn the whole area into their secret base. Philip headed there alone after he found out the location of the Skater family's residence. After getting out of the car, Philip smiled when he saw the place still brightly lit in the middle of the night. He had been worried that all of them would be asleep. Just in case, Philip picked up a weapon from the ground. It was a brick that seemed quite hardy. Philip believed that it would only take a matter of minutes to deal with them with a suitable weapon in hand. He quickly entered the Skater family's villa. The door was usually unlocked because the mountain below the
Old Master Skater felt exasperated, thinking that Lucius was fooling around. In his old age, he finally fell asleep after tossing and turning, only to hear his son screaming the next moment. After they hurried over, they found that they had been fooled by this guy! Everyone resented Lucius for kicking such a fuss. Lucius was puzzled by everyone’s reaction. He mustered up the courage to look at the window but found nothing outside. Surprised, Lucius rushed to the window and looked around, but no one was there! “Are you looking for me?” An unfamiliar voice rang behind Lucius, and everyone turned around in surprise at the sound. Lucius stared at Philip cautiously as his forehead dripped with cold sweat. This man was so powerful to appear in his home without a sound. He could not detect this person’s whereabouts despite being an expert in the fifth zone. How strong could this person be? Lucius apprehensively pulled his family members to his side as he stared at Philip
Lucius’ eyes popped wide open. Other than Lucius, several people in the room stared at Philip incredulously. They did not tell everyone in the family clearly about Celia’s incident. They simply said that someone messed with them, and their family members were warned not to mess with that young man and the Stein family. As for who that young man was, no one was interested. Hence, they were shocked after learning Philip's identity. Philip was puzzled at their reaction. He guessed that the useless siblings did not convey his message to their family members. However, now that he was here and had revealed his identity, the Skater family had to give him an explanation. “How could you be from the Clarke family? They've…” Gray backed away. He obviously knew something but hesitated for some reason. “Do you know something about the Clarke family?” Philip smiled at Gray. Among the nine people present, five of them looked surprised while the other four seemed puzzled. Obvious
If this matter was made public, the Skater family would be annihilated, and Gray did not want to die. “I’ll talk! I know everything! Don’t listen to them!” Gray hugged Philip's thigh and wailed. Philip was shocked by his cowardice. He had not done anything or displayed his strength. He merely revealed his identity, and Gray was already scared out of his wits? “Gray, shut up!” Lucius roared angrily, making a grabbing motion in Gray’s direction. The next second, Gray appeared in Lucius’ hands. “Shut the fuck up!” Lucius roared. He slapped Gray, hoping to knock some sense into him. Gray was dumbfounded by the slap. He stared at Lucius blankly, not saying a word. At Lucius’ action to stop Gray, Philip was even more certain that they knew a lot. “Since you don't want him to talk, you can talk. I believe your logic and reasoning will be better than your silly brother,” Philip said with a smile. Then, as if he remembered something, he turned to Gray and said, “Since your
Philip felt a gust of wind at his neck, and it was filled with murderous intent. He knew that Lucius wanted to kill him with one blow. Philip felt very satisfied with Lucius’ action. Since returning to his ancestral land, he had not met someone as strong as Lucius. “Aren't you afraid that your villa will be destroyed?” Philip chuckled. He disappeared underground and reappeared behind Old Master Skater. He had to deal with those five people who reacted earlier, and one of them was Old Master Skater. This old man was very restless just now. It seemed that when the Skater family discussed this matter back then, he had probably contributed many ideas. Since he was too old to practice, he was just an ordinary person. Philip appeared behind him and kicked his butt. Old Master Skater was kicked to the ground and passed out instantly. Philip controlled his strength very well. The old man would not die but would suffer the pain of being tortured. This kick would probably b
“I was wrong!” Lucius said. Everyone was surprised to hear that from Lucius’ mouth. “Lucius, how could you bow down to a loser?” “He’s a descendant of the Clarke family. You can’t admit defeat to him!” The others could not bear it any longer and sprang into action. A simple move from Philip sent them flying. Lucius was furious at this scene and yelled at Philip, “I was wrong! I’m sorry! I’ll tell you everything you want to know!” Philip sneered at Lucius’ words. “Don't you think it's too late? If you hadn't stopped your stupid brother from telling the truth, I might have considered sparing your lives. This is all your fault.” Philip put his hand on Lucius' head to steal his memory. He did not have the slightest pity for such a vicious person. When the Skater family attacked the Clarke and Larson families with the other families back then, they did not show the slightest pity either. Numerous members of the Clarke family were exiled from the island with no news of
“Didn’t you tell me to kill him? The internal strife among large families is very competitive. You were the one who told me to kill your brother, but you’re questioning me now? I’m speechless!” Philip chuckled. Although he looked harmless, the Skater family thought he was the devil himself. Gray knew there was nothing he could do now. He had no choice but to kneel and beg Philip for mercy. “Please let me go. I’ll tell you everything I know!” Gray was kept in the dark by the old master back then, and no one told him about dealing with the Clarke family. After all, Gray had always been unreliable, and Old Master Skater was fully aware of it. Unexpectedly, he bumped into their meeting by chance, and they had no choice but to include him. Gray was extremely arrogant when he participated in the attack on the Clarke family. He threw his weight around and told the Clarke family that he would spare their lives if they begged him on their knees. However, these people were to
However, this fearless young master seemed very scared now, so they felt this matter was not that simple. “Young Master Skater, who’s that guy? Why is he stopping us?” his lackeys asked respectfully. After all, the Skater family villa was on fire. It would be too late if they delayed any longer. “T-That guy… Let’s run down the hill!” Cole issued the order and ran down another path without hesitation. Everyone was dumbfounded at this scene, but they followed Cole. Everyone drank a lot when they were singing just now and fell to the ground in a daze before running far. However, they were on a downhill path, so they rolled down miserably and almost lost consciousness. Philip was surprised by their actions but allowed Cole to escape. He was not worried at all that this ignorant person would seek revenge on him. Cole did not even know what to do with his life, so why would he want to avenge his family? Even if he wanted to seek revenge, so what? He could experience wha
“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
