It was ten in the morning, and nothing happened yet, which made Philip feel that something was wrong. “Shouldn’t you be happy?” Clementine glanced at Montel in disbelief, thinking that this guy was simply watching the excitement without thinking of the consequences. “Isn't it a good thing that we can arrive at Dhole Mountain safely? Why do you think the enemy must be smart? What if they're a bunch of fools who can't get any information?” Clementine felt a little unhappy with Montel's remarks. She thought that he was just looking for trouble. “It’s best if we can get the treasure on Dhole Mountain quietly without a hitch!” Although Clementine was not afraid of fighting, it was best if they could avoid it. Philip pondered along the way without a word. This smooth journey was too good to be true. Their enemies were everywhere, and one of them was Kronos, which was extremely powerful. Philip did not believe that Kronos would spare him and allow him to develop. The trio so
Clementine looked at Philip nervously, fearing that Philip would be unhappy. “I believe you. I’m just saying that Kronos might have been keeping an eye on us long ago. They want to use us to wipe out all the forces affiliated with the Clarke and Larson families.” Kronos could not possibly know why they were here, so the reason they had been keeping an eye on them was obvious. “They're waiting to catch a big fish, and we're bait. They want to use us to catch everyone in the Clarke family!” Philip said angrily, disgusted at Kronos’ plan. “Since they want a big fish, let’s give them one,” Montel sneered and took out his tablet again. He checked into the B&B on the tablet, which could confuse many people. A prompt popped up in the background. The message was sent to Kronos, which made Kronos tremble with excitement. Kronos came up with this program in advance. Once someone logged onto certain websites, their personal data would be stolen, and Montel fell for it when he book
Philip led the other two into the village, and several brawny men walked out of each house. They wore strange and primitive clothes. Everyone mumbled under their breath, but no one understood them. “Young Patriarch, do you understand what they're saying?” Montel frowned, embarrassed that his prediction was wrong. How did they stumble into this weird village? They followed the route he predicted! Philip shook his head. He had never heard such rough language in all his years of travel. “I think I can roughly understand what they mean. I once made a video that used a similar language.” Clementine suddenly stepped forward like a savior, and the two men looked at her kindly. They had been wondering how to communicate with the other party. It would be great if Clementine could do it. “Tell them we hope to stay here for a few nights. We can compensate them for it.” Philip put his hopes on Clementine. If this failed, they had to find another place to stay. It was no
“This old man is quite the authoritarian!” Montel groused, amazed to enter such a village by accident. Montel started having doubts about his fortune-telling. He hid in the corner and kept thinking about it, seemingly very worried. Clementine talked to the village chief, and the two quickly reached an agreement. “Philip, they're willing to let us stay a few nights for free. There’s a vacant hut over there.” Clementine pointed to an inconspicuous hut in the corner excitedly. They came to the mountain in a hurry and did not bring anything with them. At first, Clementine was worried that they would jack up the price. Now, it seemed that they were willing to help them unconditionally instead. She chided herself for jumping to conclusions too soon. “We can’t take it for nothing. Let’s leave them some food later,” Philip said with a smile. Respect worked both ways. That was his principle. Clementine took out some snacks from her backpack. She handed them over to the vil
“If possible, I want to move this room back home!” Montel sighed as soon as he entered the room. He felt that he would get a good night’s sleep here. “It belongs to them. Don’t even think about it!” Clementine reminded Montel. Montel shrugged helplessly. “Fine, I get it. Do you really think that I’m a devil of destruction?” The two bickered, and Montel even gave the villagers different nicknames. Philip smiled and relaxed. The children in the village ran around happily with snacks in hand, the same with many adults. Clementine had given them a large bag of delicious snacks, and it was an eye-opening experience for them. They had been living in the mountains forever and had never left the village. The farthest they went was the surrounding areas. Their daily life only consisted of farming and hunting. People like them who were out of touch with society had no idea what these snacks were. Everyone was extremely excited to see them for the first time. Some people e
Philip could only ask Clementine to tell the villagers to remain alert and not to trust anyone easily. At this time, Kronos members were having a fit at the B&B. Kronos found out the trio’s whereabouts and wanted to ambush them, but they saw no traces of the group. They did not register at the B&B, but they chose to check in early in the morning, which seemed very strange. In the past two days, they turned the surrounding B&Bs upside down and caused a great panic, but it was all in vain! At the sight of his impending failure, the man in charge seemed frustrated and panicked. “Young Master Brutus, don't worry. If they're really here, they can’t stay in hiding for long. Someone found out that a treasure will be appearing here soon. I'm guessing they're here for it.” No one was a fool and quickly concluded after some observations. “In that case, let’s go into the depths to explore.” Brutus felt that his subordinate had a point and immediately decided to lead his men into
“Let's go this way. It should be around here.” Montel pointed to a huge boulder on the ground. According to his software, the treasure was under that boulder. Philip was delighted. He picked up the shovel and started digging several meters under but found nothing. Montel frowned at Philip’s questioning gaze. “Maybe we’re not supposed to dig for it but wait for it to appear,” Montel explained awkwardly. Philip sat on the spot without a word. As soon as Philip and the others left the village, a large group of people arrived. Philip never thought they would turn up so soon. Kronos members walked for several hours and finally saw a village. Everyone was very thirsty and wanted a drink right away. They had to travel lightly for this operation, so they had nothing on them. The village chief was uneasy when he saw this group of people. At his age, he was good at observation. He knew that these people were up to no good. Unlike the three people earlier, this group of
“Who are you? What are you doing?” Everyone shouted angrily, wishing they could kill Brutus. Brutus smiled and waved his hand. His men surrounded the villagers. He brought many people with him in this operation. Dealing with these primitive villagers was a piece of cake. Brutus signaled with his eyes, and a gust of wind rustled everyone’s clothes. This gust of wind was so strong that the villagers fell to the ground. They stared at Brutus in surprise, not sure what was going on. “What is this?” The village chief was a little panicked to encounter such a weird thing. The people in this village were born with great strength, but that was all. They had never heard of controlling the elements. “You don’t know? Let me tell you, I’m a god.” Brutus sneered as he waved his hand at the village chief. The next moment, the village chief fell to the ground and spat a mouthful of blood. He looked miserable. “W-What's going on?” The villagers were trembling. Even though
“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
