Philip nodded. Even if Mr. Hobart had not said anything, he would have formed his own force to deal with Kronos. “Don’t worry, I’ll get stronger as soon as possible.” At this point, Philip looked up and said, “By the way, my grandpa is doing very well. He's hiding in a very safe place. He'll make an appearance again when the situation is better.” Hearing that, Mr. Hobart’s low spirits vanished, replaced by excitement. With this change, he no longer looked like an old man but a child waiting for his best friend. “That’s wonderful. We must take care of this problem as soon as possible. I want to see my friend again before I die!” Philip smiled and shook his head. Their friendship was very deep, indeed. “I’ll look into it right now. I’ll contact you again if I find anything.” Philip drank the cup of tea that Mr. Hobart had prepared for him in one gulp and left. Mr. Hobart's eyes flashed with anticipation. He believed that Philip was born to do great things. “It was y
“Kronos is too powerful. We have to recruit all the people who will stand on our side. By the way, I heard that people in Kronos have the name tattooed on their bodies, but it only applies to high-level people.” Philip shared this important information with everyone, and they became excited. It would be easy if they could be identified with this tattoo. “If we invite them to a bathhouse, we can see everything!” Aslan jumped and said excitedly. Philip facepalmed helplessly. Montel turned his head away in embarrassment. The last thing he should have done was teach Aslan about modern culture. Aslan was not interested in knowledge at all. Instead, he took an interest in a bathhouse and kept asking everyone to take him to experience it. “Why are you looking at me like that? Am I wrong?” Aslan seemed to have a problem with his IQ, and Philip felt exasperated. “Let’s set off now. You three women stay here. People from the Venom Guild may come looking for you. The safety of m
The large palace was brightly lit, and people could be seen walking back and forth inside. “As far as I know, this place is always open for business. Customers can enter and view anything they want, but they have to spend some money upon entry.” Montel told them the information he found as if he often visited this magical palace. “What a high-handed method of making money. As expected of a large force.” Philip clicked his tongue and entered the Trove Guild nonchalantly. The attendant at the door was extremely beautiful, and the split in her skirt reached an unbelievable height. However, Philip’s attention was not on that. He was looking for Noelle. Philip winked at Montel, asking him to look for Noelle openly. “Hey beautiful, my friend is Noelle, the person in charge of the Trove Guild. Can I get a discount for buying something here?” Montel approached the attendant with a smile, trying to get some information from her. The attendant’s expression changed instantly.
Philip’s lightning energy was far stronger than a normal electric shock. “Damn, there's something wrong with this switch!” Many people were dizzy from the electric shock and cursed aloud. They tried to turn off the main power but to no avail. Montel sighed at their actions. “Are they right in the head?” Aslan nodded, thinking that something was wrong with them. “If they’ll get an electric shock by touching the switch with their hands, why don’t they just do it with mind control?” Aslan sighed and increased his volume so that everyone could hear him. Some people followed his instruction, but the next moment, they clutched their heads and stumbled to the floor, rolling back and forth in agony. Philip's lightning energy had destroyed all the circuits inside. If they touched it with their hands, they would get an electric shock at most. If they touched it with their minds, it was an invitation for Philip to leave a brand on them. Philip silently gave Aslan a thumbs-up for
“This thing was giving me directions, but I didn’t know it was hiding in my pants. How embarrassing.” Montel's face turned red, and he stopped explaining before following the direction pointed out by the chain. Philip knew that now was not the time to joke around and followed Montel quickly. At this moment, Noelle was tied securely to a bed. “Haha, you've been given an Energy-Dispersing Potion, and you won’t be able to utilize your energy for the whole day. With no energy, you can’t even break free from ordinary ropes.” A man appeared in front of Noelle. If Philip and the others were here, they would recognize this man as the maintenance guy just now. “I didn't expect to see the high-and-mighty person in charge to end up lying here in such a wretched state today. The top brass has mentioned that as long as I can capture you, I’ll be in charge of the Trove Guild.” The maintenance guy smiled brightly as he realized his ambition step by step. “Stop dreaming. They’re lyin
Although the detox pill Philip gave everyone back then could neutralize most poisons, the Energy-Dispersing Potion was not poisonous. The maintenance guy added this potion that could disperse energy into a glass of water and gave it to Noelle. It was no wonder that Noelle did not notice anything fishy. “Pin him down,” Philip instructed Aslan and squatted in front of the maintenance guy. “This foul smell… The Venom Guild?” Philip looked at the honest man in front of him with disgust. An honest-looking face did not mean that he was a kind person. Based on the earlier conversation, Philip knew that Noelle saved this pitiful man, but he repaid her with spite instead. The father and son Noelle saved ended up harming her instead. Noelle gradually regained consciousness, and Philip frowned. Her identity had been exposed, so she could no longer remain in the Trove Guild. With Kronos’ spies everywhere, it was almost impossible for Noelle to find a place to hide. “Why did y
Noelle was the victim, so she could decide. “I saved you and brought you back to the Trove Guild. Is this how you repay me?” Noelle sneered. The next moment, the maintenance guy was strangled by an invisible rope. He grabbed the thing choking him in horror but found that there was nothing he could do. That thing was intangible! As the maintenance guy's eyes widened, Noelle's eyes became colder. “What a turncoat.” Noelle felt a lingering fear. Fortunately, Philip and the others saved her in the nick of time, or she would have chosen to end her life. Seeing how Noelle dealt with the maintenance guy so decisively, Philip found her impressive. If Noelle had relented and chosen to let him go, Philip would think twice about letting her join his team. Noelle sighed and grimaced. “Since the top brass has decided to take action against me, something must have happened. Although I don't know what’s going on, I can't stay in the Trove Guild any longer.” Although Noelle did
After Noelle changed her appearance, she followed Philip and the others to the auction hall. A small auction was being held here, and everyone gathered around excitedly, admiring the list of items in the auction. “As expected of the Trove Guild, the auction items are all of the highest quality.” “I want this human cauldron. It sounds amazing.” “I think many weird items have appeared in the Trove Guild’s auctions this year.” Everyone exclaimed in surprise at this incident. The Trove Guild always held many auctions, large and small. However, the auction items were either natural precious treasures or rare treasures made by various factions. There was something called a human cauldron among their auction items this time. Some people had heard of it, but not everyone. “Dude, what’s this human cauldron?” A guy in his teens curiously turned to ask the man next to him. The middle-aged man said smugly, “Young man, have you never heard of it? A human cauldron can make your
“What do we do with him?” Carlos asked. He wanted to skin the hooded man alive. Rabbit bared his teeth. “Kill him! Take off his clothes and hang him outside for everyone to see!” At this time, Alain finally noticed the commotion on this side. They were very noisy, so everyone kept looking over, trying to see what happened. Alain saw a familiar man lying on the ground. “What’s going on?” He walked over for a closer look and saw the hooded man! “What’s this? How could this happen?” Alain was dumbfounded. The onlookers had been watching, so they knew the situation. “What happened?” Alain asked in agony, wondering what happened. A kind onlooker explained, “Oh, don’t you know? That rabbit knocked the hooded man out!” Alain was taken aback by that remark. “How is that possible?” Alain was full of disbelief and thought someone had done something behind the scenes. Although he knew that the rabbit was powerful, he did not think it was strong enough to deal with the hooded
“You went too far! I’m well-respected wherever I go. How dare you treat me as a pet?” Although Rabbit had lost his memories after turning into an inanimate puppet, he could still deduce what had happened from Philip’s remarks. The hooded man was embarrassed to hear a rabbit reprimanding him. “If I can take you as my pet, that’s just a testament to my ability. If Philip couldn’t control you, what’s the big deal if I took you for my own?” The hooded man had always seen Rabbit as a pet, never a friend. Rabbit’s only purpose was to entertain him and fight for him. “Philip, leave this guy to me.” Rabbit was eager to take care of this guy. Carlos glared at the hooded man, certain that he had never seen him before. The hooded man also turned his attention to Carlos. From the match earlier, he knew that Carlos was from the Celestial Palace. In that case, he would have no reservations. He wanted to get to know someone from the Celestial Palace anyway. He ignored Philip and Rabbit
“What?” Carlos suddenly felt that maybe that rabbit in the hooded man's arms was Philip’s pet. “Stay here. I’ll take a closer look. I have a feeling that the guy is more than meets the eye. I think he was the one sneaking around my house.” After saying this, Philip walked over briskly. He had never seen such an arrogant thief. The guy was bold enough to appear in public after stealing someone’s rabbit. “Did you steal that rabbit from me?” Philip approached that man and asked solemnly without beating about the bush. The hooded man was taken aback by Philip's direct approach. “When did you appear behind me?” The hooded man was horrified to know that someone had snuck up behind him without his knowledge. It was as if Philip was immaterial. Feeling Philip's strength, the hooded man dared not say another word. He thought he was undefeatable, which was why he decided to watch the fun in person, but he got careless. “Are you saying that this rabbit belongs to you? Why don’t you
Jeff sneered at this scene and knew that it was time for payback. He did not plan to kill Hogster at first. After all, he was the young heir of a guild and represented the Hexa Guild. However, Hogster had pissed him off thoroughly. He had to kill Hogster at all costs. Thinking of this, Jeff raised the sword in his hand and stabbed Hogster. With that, everything was over. Alain closed his eyes at this scene. He shook his head in helpless agony. Due to the technique that he practiced, he could not have another child. Although he had been working hard to groom Hogster over the years, he had not stopped trying to get another child either. However, none of the women could get pregnant! Hogster was his only child so far. Unfortunately, his only son was dead. Under Jeff’s attack, he turned into dust and vanished without a trace! “How did things turn out this way?” Alain aged drastically all of a sudden and looked very haggard. The hooded man watched the scene warily, shocked
“What's going on? What drug did he take? It’s so powerful!” Jeff exclaimed in horror. All his attacks were ineffective, so what about Hogster’s attacks? At this time, Hogster attacked Jeff. His invincible mode would only last a few minutes. He had to seize the opportunity to take Jeff down. However, Hogster was not worried at all. In his opinion, dealing with Jeff was just a matter of seconds. “Go to hell!” Hogster made his move. He launched a killing move without holding back at all. Jeff was no match for Hogster at all. He was sent flying and fell to the ground miserably. Everyone looked at him with pity. Jeff spat a mouthful of blood and looked at Hogster in horror. Hogster had become so strong that he was no match for him at all. “Hehe, is that all you can take?” Hogster sneered. He was about to kill Jeff when the latter took out a pill from his pocket and swallowed it. It was the same pill he had taken earlier. Sure enough, Jeff was back to normal after taking
“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
