No one knew how Philip evaded the heavy surveillance to reach here, but they were certain he was up to no good. The scientists stood on guard and took out their weapons from under the table, hoping to get rid of Philip while he was not paying attention. “How dare you?!” Philip was furious when he saw the woman reaching out to press the alarm. He grabbed a pair of scissors from the side and threw it at the female scientist's right hand, which was severed the next second. Blood gushed, staining the pure white laboratory red. “Argh! How dare you hurt my hand?!” The female scientist clutched her right hand and rolled back and forth on the ground in pain, not expecting Philip to be so strong and make a move without any warning. The hands of a scientist were very important. They would not be able to continue their research once their hands were gone. Moreover, she lost her right hand! Everyone was terrified and looked at Philip in fear. “Give him to me.” Philip glared
At this moment, Philip heard the sound of light and familiar footsteps. Philip subconsciously looked outside and saw Clementine. He felt exasperated at the sight of Clementine sneaking around and shooting her videos. This woman would be easily discovered if she walked around here openly. Everything would be over if she attracted the attention of the guards. Without further ado, Philip opened the lab door and pulled Clementine into the room. Clementine was completely focused on taking photos around the lab and did not even notice another person next to her. The next moment, Clementine was pulled into a laboratory. She was horrified and wanted to elbow the assailant but caught a familiar smell. Clementine was just about to turn around when Philip shoved her aside. “It’s you!” Clementine smiled brightly at Philip. She knew she was in safe hands now. Although Clementine had some skills, at least enough to keep herself alive, the feeling was different when she was wi
“I-In the past three years, we've probably sacrificed tens of thousands of people, but many of them are homeless,” the old man admitted as if his sin would be lesser if he did so. Clementine scowled. She did not speak but recorded everything with her camera. The camera was hidden in Clementine's clothes, so she only had to face the other party to get a clear picture. The recorded videos would be uploaded directly to her cloud storage where no one could steal or hack the information inside. Clementine had been collecting these precious materials for a long time, and they could be considered priceless. Compared to her usual exploration and uncovering secrets, Clementine was doing something serious this time. She was delighted at the thought of the social repercussions after this case was made public. “Where's the Larson family?” That was Philip's biggest concern. He wanted to know if any harm had befallen the Larson family over the years. The old man was extremely tor
Sure enough, Albert fell into despair at Philip’s words. He did not expect Philip to know so much. Philip felt amused at Albert’s foolish reaction. “I know everything you’ve done over the years,” Philip sneered. It was obvious that Albert had been up to no good. “Now that you know everything, I’ll tell you the truth! Philip, I can tell that you’re a powerful expert. I want to recruit you to join our team. Have you seen this lab? Do you know how much time and energy have been spent on building it? We run all kinds of genetic research in this lab, including focused research on practitioners!” At this point, he grabbed a document on the table and handed it to Philip. “Aren't you amazed that these studies can help ordinary people become practitioners?” Philip flipped through the document thoughtfully. In general, the content showed that they had discovered a way to transfer the power of practitioners to ordinary humans. Once this approach could be implemented on a large s
The other party was clearly making use of him, but he was grateful to them instead. Once this matter came to fruition, Albert would not gain anything at all. Other families had contributed money, effort, and talents. How could they allow the credit to go to a brat who popped out of nowhere? Albert would not be able to continue living a luxurious and enjoyable life when the day came. Since he had betrayed the Larson family, there was no more use for him. The other party was still willing to keep him simply to display the contrast between his luxurious life and the sufferings of the Larson family. Over time, the other family members would gradually choose to give in. “Do you think that's possible?” Philip mocked. This guy was really naive. Albert scowled at Philip’s retort. Even though his position was far superior, Philip still refused to respect him! Philip was the young patriarch of the Clarke family, an outstanding genius, while an ordinary person with an average
“I can see that you really have no brains,” Philip said flatly, not taking Albert seriously at all. Albert scowled, wishing he could kill Philip. He vowed to kill this man who stole his limelight and record the whole process to show everyone. He, Albert Larson, who was totally crushed by Philip back then, could now easily take him down! Thinking of this, Albert took out his mobile phone and put it on recording mode. “Today, I'm going to show everyone how good you are, you loser!” Albert smiled brightly as if he could already see himself killing Philip. Philip laughed from the bottom of his heart. He had concealed his strength all this while. Although he was already extremely powerful back then, Philip always claimed that he was only slightly better than the most outstanding people. Furthermore, Philip always controlled his performance to showcase exactly that. However, when someone surpassed him, they would quickly discover that he was another step farther from th
Albert seemed very smug upon hearing Philip’s words. He hoped that he could persuade Philip to join his team too. He usually worked alone and felt a little lonely. Although this guy was a talent, things were different now. He must be stronger than Philip. If Philip joined him, Philip could only become his subordinate. “If you want me to join your team, you have to give me some good conditions. What do you have to attract me?” Philip said seriously without beating about the bush. Albert shook the potion in his hand at Philip’s interest. “This thing will be good for you.” Albert flicked the cap open with a smile and swallowed it in one gulp. He was so fast that Philip could hardly react. It was as if Philip would snatch it away if Albert was a second slower, so he had to be cautious. Philip watched Albert silently. Clementine helped Grandpa up and stood aside while staring at the scientists warily, not forgetting to record everything. Probably only Clementine coul
Philip walked to the door. Albert kept urging him along, which annoyed Philip. Clementine gritted her teeth, helped Grandpa up, and followed them. This lab was not safe. She would probably be trapped if she remained here. Soon, Philip followed Albert to a training ground where they usually trained. Philip subconsciously used a camouflage pill to modify his appearance. Although he looked somewhat similar to his original appearance, there were subtle differences in other areas. Most of the people training here wore the same uniform with the word ‘guard’ on their chests. Philip was surprised to find himself in the thieves’ den. However, he could feel that these people were not that strong and not that difficult to deal with. Clementine staggered over with Grandpa in tow and saw this scene. She backed away in fright and found a room to hide in. With so many guards around, Philip would definitely arouse everyone's suspicion if he rushed in. A fierce battle would inevitably
“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
