Through the fragmented memories, Philip saw a familiar shadow in this planned massacre. The Tampa family. This family held a high position in the Clarke family, was proficient in various poisons, and lived in recluse. They were trusted partners of the Clarke family. Philip judged from these scattered memory fragments that something was wrong with the Tampa family. However, he could not put all the pieces together, so he had no choice but to find the Tampa family. If the Tampa family had helped the Clarke family in the battle, they should no longer exist. On the other hand, if the Tampa family was still alive and well, something must be wrong with them. Those crazy people were out to destroy all the major families and factions. How could they let go of the powerful Tampa family? At the thought of the Tampa family, Philip recalled the Zucker family. A few days ago, Montel said he wanted to look for other partners, and he disappeared without leaving any contact informati
Philip looked up at the impressive mountain and headed up. At this moment, everyone in the Tampa family was standing guard nervously. Ever since Montel turned up at their doorstep, no one had a good night’s sleep for several days. Everyone was worried that the cat was out of the bag and someone would come after them. After several days, however, there was no movement from the outside world. The Tampa family eventually relaxed. As they were about to go for a good rest, the doorbell rang. Everyone tensed up again. “Who’s there?” Patriarch Tampa looked cautiously at the door. The butler pulled up the surveillance footage and saw a young man. “Patriarch, it’s a young man who seems familiar.” The butler frowned and observed the person in the surveillance footage. This angle could not provide a clear picture of the visitor. The patriarch waved his hand and asked the butler to open the door. “We’ll know once we see him. Open the door and let him in.” Patriarch Tamp
Ivan knew very well that Philip was an outstanding talent, so he dared not have any reckless ideas about Philip. Back then, they tried to poison Philip to destroy his practice base, but Ivan had no idea if the plan was successful. Thus, he dared not take a gamble. Ivan struggled for a while and decided to play dumb. “Young Patriarch, we don’t know anything about this. The boy from the Zucker family did come here some time ago, but he left after a short visit! “Do you mean he’s missing? This is bad. We need to organize a search for him! “This place is a mess, not as safe as the big cities. Something may happen to a lone kid like him!” Philip was shocked to hear his feigned ignorance even though he had already put it so bluntly. His appearance at their doorstep clearly meant that he was adamant about causing trouble for the Tampa family. “Since I’ve mentioned this so clearly, you don’t have to play dumb either. Don't think I don't know what has happened during the years I
Ivan was surprised to hear that the memory erasure case had been exposed. “Did someone from the Skater family tell you?” Ivan asked. He was not worried about the Skater family. They would not betray him. “Don’t worry about them. They're dead.” Philip sneered and sat on the couch, unfazed. Seeing Philip’s nonchalance, Ivan felt a flash of annoyance. “You killed them? Did you read their memories?” Ivan said in surprise as if he remembered something. He knew one way to read another person’s memory, but this method was only available to demonic practitioners. He could not believe that Philip used this method! It proved that Philip had dealings with demonic practitioners! Philip frowned. Of course, he knew that only demonic practitioners would use such a vicious method in this world. The memory-reading method he used came from the books in Verge Tower, not demonic practitioners. However, he did not intend to explain anything to these losers. Philip sat there and wait
Ivan was extremely nervous. He knew that Philip's actual strength would only be stronger than the fifth zone, not weaker. If Philip was really that powerful, he had to weigh the situation carefully. Only a few members of the Tampa family were left, and they could not afford to lose anyone. Philip came at the right time, and all the remaining members of the Tampa family were here. It would be difficult to escape now. “What happened back then was all a misunderstanding. We aren't traitors,” Ivan said awkwardly, not avoiding the topic. Philip sneered at Ivan’s explanation. Ivan was really good at bluffing. Why did he not realize that Ivan was such a hypocritical person? Montel finally regained some strength after Philip fed him some water. He struggled to stand up and glared at Ivan. “You liar! You pretended to welcome me when I first arrived to gain information about the young patriarch. When I wasn't paying attention, you spiked my food and knocked me out! You’re such
Montel looked at Philip anxiously. “Young Patriarch, you have to believe me! Ivan is a big fat liar! Everything will be over if you believe him! This shameless old man is really one of a kind!” Montel cursed angrily without caring about his image. The grudge between him and Ivan was already set in stone. Ivan sneered at Montel, unfazed. He simply wanted to buy time and wait for help to arrive. Ivan was not sure if Philip had other reinforcements, so to be on the safe side, he would wait for the Practitioner Society to deal with Philip. Even though Ivan was an expert in the seventh zone, he was apprehensive when facing the former young patriarch. “That’s enough. Stop it.” Philip stopped Montel. “Ivan’s reinforcements should be here now. If not, I won’t wait any longer.” Philip stood up and smiled at Ivan. Ivan froze, shocked that Philip guessed his plan. He did everything in secret. No one should know anything about it, but Philip did! It was enough to prove that
Montel coughed awkwardly, astounded by these fangirls. Philip was speechless too. He had imagined many scenarios. Maybe he would be arrested on the spot. Maybe the Practitioner Society would insult him before taking him away. Maybe other various undesirable situations might happen. However, it never occurred to him to see a bunch of fangirls. Philip facepalmed in embarrassment. He did not want things to turn out this way! The man in the lead did not share the same thoughts. He was very unhappy with their reactions. “So you're the demonic practitioner. Surrender at once!” he said gruffly. Montel frowned in disdain. Even though he did not drink much water in the past several days, his voice was not that gruff. This guy sounded like a quacking duck, and his voice was very unpleasant to the ears. “Sarah, don't be fooled by the faces of these demonic practitioners. They look handsome and charming to create a false impression!” the guy said seriously, trying to destroy th
“Are you guys trying to defend him?” Ivan asked solemnly. He was very unhappy with these fangirls, so he placed all his hopes on Gruffy. Gruffy looked very gloomy seeing that his junior had taken a fancy to a man as soon as she arrived. Hence, he was certain that Philip was a demonic practitioner. No matter what background he had, there was no way he could leave in peace today. Jealousy could turn someone into a green-eyed monster. Over the years, his junior never had the hots for him. She never cherished the man beside her but chose this loser instead?! What a waste! Gruffy walked over briskly and stared at Philip seriously. “Did you use a demonic technique to retrieve another person’s memories?” Gruffy asked solemnly as if he was conducting official business. Seeing this scene, the other women seemed anxious. They knew very well that Philip was absolutely innocent. In an era where appearance took precedence over justice, they were undoubtedly torn. “No.”
“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
