The women made no sound for fear of annoying Philip. Philip asked Montel to stand guard outside the door. He closed the broken door and watched silently as Garth pranced around. Garth yelled for a while but got no reply, so he became a little angry. “Are you dumb? Can’t you make a sound?” Philip sneered. Garth heard his sneer and was surprised to hear a man's voice in his office. He took off the stockings on his head in horror. “Who are you?!” A man stared at him sinisterly. Garth was so frightened that he slumped on the floor, his knees weak. He looked at Philip in shock and fear. This guy was quite good at entering his office without making a sound. “Guards, come and save me!” He shouted at the door anxiously, but he specially modified this office, so no one outside the door could hear anything. Even if Garth screamed himself hoarse, no one would come to his rescue. Seeing Philip's indifferent look, he felt a little embarrassed. He was playing some indec
Philip pointed the letter opener at Garth. “Your father loves you very much to spend so much money on you. All other members of the Tampa family are dead now, and you’re the only one left. Do you want to stay alive?” Garth shuddered in fear at Philip's cold voice. He wanted to kneel to Philip! Philip’s remark scared him the most. The Tampa family was gone? How could that be? He just spoke to his father Ivan on the phone two days ago. Everyone was doing very well. “You don’t have to doubt it. I did everything.” Garth was shocked and scared. He was surprised that this person claimed to have destroyed the Tampa family, and he was also afraid that Philip would make a mistake and destroy his lifelong happiness. “Do you know where your father's research lab is?” Philip asked without beating about the bush. Garth scowled at Philip’s question. He did not expect that Philip would ask about his father's research lab. “Who are you?” he asked warily. No one in Townsville
Garth knew very well that once he took Philip to the research lab, he would be dead for sure. “The research lab is far away from this place. It’s not the right time to go now, or…” Garth coughed awkwardly, trying to gloss over the topic. However, Philip gave him no chance. He smacked Garth on the head and grabbed something from the closet for Garth. “I’ll give you five minutes to leave with me.” During this time, Montel was not idle either. He used his hacking methods and found some strange things about Dreary Mountain. As a professional web surfer, Montel was quite good at looking for information. Philip was curious about what Montel found. “There seems to be a research institute on Dreary Mountain. It's used to research some very scary things. I found out about it when I came across a post by chance. Furthermore, Dreary Mountain is heavily guarded, and ordinary people are not allowed entry. Many travelers who went exploring lost their lives on that mountain!” Montel
“Young Patriarch, we've arrived at Dreary Mountain, but there are several roads leading up. Which one shall we take?” Montel asked Philip at the foot of Dreary Mountain. Philip tossed the question to Garth. Garth cursed Philip inwardly but said good-naturedly on the surface, “Just take the road on the right until we reach the end.” He knew that the research lab was being strictly guarded because of the scientists inside. Philip would be finished once he reached the research lab. Garth would take revenge for all the humiliation he had suffered today. He would make Philip run buck naked through all the alleys and streets! Garth felt extremely happy at the thought of Philip’s miserable plight later. Philip speechlessly looked at Garth as the latter laughed wildly one second and looked melancholic the next. Philip almost thought that Garth had gone crazy. “Hey, wake up.” Philip slapped Garth on the head so that he would stay rational and not be immersed in his own wo
Once Philip entered the research lab, he would be a fly trapped in the spider’s web. Garth was no fool. He knew exactly how to contact the guards. At that time, not only would Garth be rescued, but Philip and his ignorant follower would also die in the crossfire! So what if Philip was a powerful practitioner? He could not hold a candle to technology! The Tampa family had been studying various kinds of practitioners and had invented many potions. Some potions could allow ordinary people to gain the power of practitioners! Similarly, they had also developed countless poisons that made practitioners lose energy and transfer that energy away. They did not make the results public. After all, too much information lay behind these potions, and the Tampa family was not sure that they could withstand the attacks from other practitioner forces. The Tampa family’s initial intention was to create their own force. Their family was not large, and most of them were unable to practice,
Philip had no idea what was going on. Grabbing a backpack, he walked into the hotel. He quickly arrived at the front desk. When Philip was about to book a single room, a woman approached him and took his arm. “Hello, we want a room with a double bed,” the woman said smilingly as if she was Philip's wife. Philip did not expose this woman’s peculiar actions. He wanted to see what she was up to. The front desk quickly arranged a room for the two of them, and the mysterious woman walked to the elevator with Philip. “I’ll pay for the room. You don’t have to worry about anything else.” As soon as she arrived at the elevator, the woman's tone became extremely cold. She withdrew her hand from Philip’s arm with some disgust. Philip was amused by her rapid change. Was this woman using him as a cover-up? She was pretty good at burning her bridges. “I’ve agreed to pay for your room. You don’t have to show me that face.” She was a little angry at Philip’s indifference. She
Clementine’s expression changed when she saw clearly what was in the backpack. Philip could feel her disgust and derision. “So, you have such a fetish.” Clementine smiled and grabbed her phone to give Philip a close-up shot. She found this extremely handsome man quite interesting. “Okay, I'm going out to shoot my video.” After teasing Philip, Clementine hid all the video-shooting tools in her clothes and sneaked out. Clementine was actually a horror vlogger. She usually explored and took videos of haunted places and posted them online to gain attention. Clementine had never shown her face, so no one knew her gender. They only knew that this vlogger was skillful, lucky, and bold. Clementine came across some comments from netizens and decided to explore this hotel. There were rumors about an extremely luxurious hotel halfway up Dreary Mountain. Although it was expensive and luxurious, it was extremely scary. Many people went missing in this place every year, and the
Philip checked the room after Clementine left and took out the Cockatrice Orb upon confirming there was no surveillance around. The Cockatrice Orb contained a lot of energy which Philip could use to level up. When Philip was not using it, this miraculous orb would automatically absorb energy to provide Philip with energy anytime and anywhere. Philip quickly improved his strength while holding the orb and easily reached the early stage of the sixth zone. Seeing that he would soon return to his former level five of the pseudo holy tier, Philip was full of anticipation. Philip knew he would not have made such rapid progress now if he had not laid a good foundation back then. The energy in the Cockatrice Orb was quickly exhausted, and it would be a long time before Philip could use it again. By right, the energy in the Cockatrice Orb could elevate a person to a higher level, but Philip was different. His energy veins and core were several times more powerful than ordinary peo
“You must be referring to the lark people. What do you want with them? They're not to be trifled with. You’ll be in trouble if you mess with them.” Everyone was delighted to hear about the lark people. It was great that someone knew something. Adam was very excited to find a clue as soon as they arrived. He had thought it would take a lot of effort to find something, but reality proved otherwise. “The lark people can be regarded as the overlords here. You can find out about them easily. I'm just an ordinary old woman, so I can't tell you too much. You should approach other people if you want to find out more. Maybe you can find a storyteller. I’m sure they can tell you some very important information.” The old lady was clearly unwilling to disclose anything, so everyone was disappointed. In that case, they could not force her. “Thank you very much. At least you gave us an inkling about what to do. We wouldn’t know so many things if it weren't for you.” Adam thanked the old
“I heard that her family is quite complicated. They seem quite troublesome.” Hearing that, everyone wondered what Adam meant. It seemed that he would face problems in pursuing a relationship with this woman. Carlos looked at Adam awkwardly and sighed. “It doesn't matter. We don’t have to worry about that. Let's just take things one step at a time.” Rabbit calmly drifted around with Philip, feeling quite good. “What's there to worry about? I say the old monk has nothing better to do than worry about trivial matters. It’d be embarrassing if so many of us couldn’t bring a woman back.” Until now, Rabbit felt that the other party was just an ordinary woman, so he did not think that there was anything to worry about. They quickly joined the line to enter the city. To Philip's surprise, there was no entrance fee at all. Moreover, their appearance and attire looked no different from the others. Philip and his friends calmly entered the place, and Philip stood on guard. He had a
Philip felt helpless at the sight of this vast starry sky and suddenly felt that maybe coming here was not the right choice. They arrived without knowing anything about this place, so they might encounter various dangers. “I’m curious about the woman you've been looking for. She must be quite extraordinary,” Philip said curiously, baffled about this matter. Hearing that, Adam shook his head helplessly. He was really clueless about everything. “I only know that I can come here and find her with the key. I don’t even know where she is. We can only search aimlessly in this starry sky.” Philip was dumbfounded by Adam’s incompetence. “I thought we’d be teleported to her home or a fixed location, so I don’t know what’s the deal with this. I have a feeling that I’ve been tricked.” Adam sighed helplessly. “Let's just wander around. I’m sure we can find something somehow,” Carlos comforted Adam, but he was not optimistic about it either. He knew that they probably could not find the
Adam had to reevaluate Philip’s strength. He used to think that Philip was simply the best of his generation. Although powerful, he was not invincible. However, the ability to change certain orders and rules was not something that just anyone had. It would not be far-fetched to call Philip the chosen one favored by the heavens. Philip told Carlos to bury Bryce before forgetting about him. Carlos quickly handled his affairs, packed his bags, and got ready to set off with Philip. Adam also waited for Philip without much luggage on hand. Philip stuffed Rabbit into the Verge Tower space. He had to bring Rabbit along with him or the latter would be up to no good. “Rabbit, stay in Verge Tower and stop bothering me.” Rabbit was upset to hear that he had to stay in Verge Tower but still felt happy that Philip was willing to take him along. “Next, the two of you need to relax. I’ll wrap you with my energy. Don't try to resist or you’ll only end up hurting yourself,” Philip said.
“I have other important things to do. Don't worry. I’ll be back soon, so make sure you work hard during this time. I’ve given you all the pills you need. Whether you can make full use of them depends on you.” In Philip’s opinion, the Hexa Guild could not do anything anymore, so there was no worry about them. After much deliberation, Jamie nodded. Philip did not belong to his guild, so he could hardly stop Philip from leaving. Moreover, Philip’s pill supply was already a great help to them. It would be annoying if Jamie asked for more. “No problem. Where are you going next? Do you need my help? I’ll do my best to help you.” The Celestial Palace was powerful enough for Jamie to say such things. Philip shook his head. He would be traveling with Adam next, and his strength was incredible. It was best for them to leave together. “It’s okay. I have everything prepared. Just do your best in the competition and don’t allow the Hexa Guild to take the upper hand.” Now that the Cele
“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
