Philip was puzzled by their weird behavior and asked, “What’s up? Why is everyone so mysterious after going out?” Philip looked behind them and saw more than a dozen children standing outside. The children wore ragged clothes with a logo on their chests. They were obviously not from wealthy families but from the same place. “Tell him!” Montel prodded Noelle. “Why me? You go!” Noelle pointed to Aslan awkwardly. “Aslan made the suggestion, so he should do it!” Everyone looked at Aslan expectantly, waiting for him to tell Philip the truth. Aslan shrugged nonchalantly at their tentative looks. He did not think there was anything wrong with this. “You cowards! Leave it to me!” Aslan approached Philip with a fawning look on his face. “Philip, this is a long story. I feel that you have too few people under your command, and it's almost impossible to develop them into a large force. I want to help in your expansion! "It's too late too late to train anyone in their 20s or
Montel simply had to contact Arthur for everything. Arthur knew that Montel was Philip's most loyal subordinate, and his every action was Philip’s order. Montel quickly carried out Philip’s order and brought the children to the other villas. Wynn smiled brightly at the sight of so many children. “I’m sure Mila will be very happy to see so many children of her age around!” Wynn’s gentle grace quickly attracted all the children’s attention. The children enjoyed this life and had bright smiles on their innocent and simple faces. After they settled down, Philip glanced at them and found that these children were quite talented. If they were allowed to practice, their progress would not be slow. “What do you think of my suggestion?” Aslan said smugly. Aslan had read many books, mastered various military techniques, and learned all sorts of internet jargon. He was even dressed in fashionable clothes now. “Not bad. You can find more children if you have time. I’m going
“Old man, why don’t you have any children suitable for practice here?” The people from the Nyx Guild asked the old dean without caring if he understood what they meant. The old dean was a normal person who had no idea about practice. “What do you mean by that? I don't know what a person suitable for practice looks like.” The old dean looked very miserable in their hands. The members of the Nyx Guild looked at the dean in boredom and shoved him to the ground. “Has anyone taken away any children from your orphanage recently?” They rephrased the question so that the dean could understand it better. The dean nodded and said, “Some young people took away many orphans from our orphanage, but they followed the formal procedures and left us a lot of money! They aren't bad people!” The dean did not know what these people wanted and tried to defend Aslan and the others. The people of the Nyx Guild looked at each other and guessed that these people probably took away the orpha
The children overheard the conversation and looked at Aslan mockingly, thinking that he was not right in the head. Although they were children, they knew how valuable a practitioner was. A practitioner to deliver goods? Simply ridiculous. “Maybe your dream will come true when we have so many practitioners that they end up worthless one day.” Clementine also thought that this idea was ridiculous. They returned to the villa where the first batch of children had already settled down. The villa next door was converted into a dormitory. The children slept in bunk beds, and certain rooms were converted into classrooms for them. “Let’s find a time to bring your mom and dad over. We’ll settle here for the time being,” Philip said to Wynn. Wynn had reached the late stage of the fifth zone and was fully capable of taking care of herself. Charles and Martha were still ordinary people, so it was not safe for them to stay so far away. Wynn nodded. She just had the idea that morn
In short, as long as children were born every day, the Nyx Guild would never go out of business. “Boys, the kind-hearted people who gathered these children for us will make us a lot of money!” The sinister man was Cain, a powerful senior member of the Nyx Guild. He brought along seven members to complete the mission this time, and everyone had a target of five children. They had to capture 40 children to please their superiors. Cain was an elite at completing missions, always performing every task well and quickly. Hence, he was quite confident about this mission too. “According to our findings, that guy brought back at least a hundred children. That’s enough to cover our targets for two months!” “Spot on. We can even take a few children for ourselves and watch as our strength increases!” Everyone smiled brightly. They could already imagine the day they advanced. Cain smiled smugly. He shared the same thought. Based on his calculations, other than completing the t
Aslan and the others were adults, so it was not appropriate for them to take a bath in public. “Philip, didn’t you say that we only need to do it once a month? It hasn't been a month since the last time!" Aslan grimaced as if he was very afraid of this terrifying potion. Philip smiled at their horror and said, “What do you know? Your strength will improve after every bath. The more you do it, the less pain you’ll feel. Once your strength and physique have been upgraded to the highest level, it’ll be no different from taking a normal bath!” Philip explained in detail, but everyone heard the underlying meaning. “I see. No wonder Mila doesn't feel any pain when taking a bath. That’s because her strength and physique have reached the highest level. What a freak!” Aslan grimaced. He thought that he was strong enough, but he was just a loser in comparison. “Don't be discouraged. Mila just reached the finish line one step ahead of you. As long as you continue taking the potion b
“What do you mean by this?” Cain was a little angry when he saw no reaction from anyone. He felt disrespected and decided to teach them a good lesson. Cain made a hand gesture. The sky turned dark, and the wind blew violently. The surrounding buildings swayed under the biting wind, looking like they would collapse at any time. “Listen up. If you don’t hand them over, I’ll kill all of you!” Black shadows of children appeared in front of everyone. They were the innocent children who had been sacrificed. These children were full of resentment. They were enough to wipe out Philip and the others. “Such strong resentment!” Philip frowned, shocked that the other party practiced such an evil technique. “The Nyx Guild is an evil cult. In comparison, even the Venom Guild has to give way to them!” Delia explained to Philip. They could hardly stand under this intense resentment. The shadows of children lunged at them with ear-piercing screams. Philip took out his sword an
The members of the Nyx Guild were angry when they realized they had met a tough opponent this time. “Damn it, these people are not our comrades from another evil cult at all. That guy’s technique can oppress us!” Cain roared angrily. He knew he would only end up dead if he wasted any more time here. He had to escape! Before Philip’s second move landed, he grabbed the person next to him and shoved him toward Philip. Philip slashed out and rendered that person into a pile of ashes. “Stop him!” Cain used his people to stop Philip’s attack. He took out a charm from his pocket and activated it with his blood. The next second, he disappeared in front of everyone. Before the members of the Nyx Guild realized what was going on, Philip had defeated them. Philip was not surprised to see Cain leaving in a panic. Killing them was too easy for him. His goal was not to kill these minions. Instead, he wanted to attract all the people from this guild and catch them in one fel
“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for attending the lark family’s grand ceremony of the century,” a man announced in the middle of the square, and the bride stood next to him with a happy smile on her face. If Adam was present, he would definitely recognize the bride as the woman he had been dreaming of over the years, Ashley Bay. A handsome man stood next to the bride. His every move was imposing and domineering. They looked like the perfect match. Everyone looked at this scene and blessed them happily. “After a series of careful selection, I finally found the most suitable husband for my daughter. This is an important event for the lark people!” The lark people had a high status, and everyone wanted to marry into this family. After many selections, the bridegroom finally won the bride’s hand in marriage. Over the years, countless men had flocked around Ashley. After observations from all aspects, this man fit all the criteria—so much so that Adam had long been forgotten.
“This boot records various information about the lark people that may be very important to you. I believe you’ll understand after reading it.” After saying this, Renee handed the boot to Adam. She was not a fool. She knew that Philip was not the person initiating the search. Although Adam always remained calm, he could not hide his eagerness at all. Adam looked at Renee gratefully and took the book and started reading it without further ado. The more he read, the more shocked he felt. In the end, he was full of disbelief as if he could not believe what he saw. “Is this for real?” Adam finished reading the boot quickly and handed it to Philip and Carlos. The other two flipped through the book curiously. Philip scowled. He could not tell whether the information was true or false. “Is it true that the lark people have such an ability? It's recorded in the book that they can create a world. That’s simply…” Carlos was puzzled. Only a very powerful being could create a world. Was
“Please tell me how to find them. I want to find out what’s going on, even if it's just to convince myself to give up.” Adam decided that he still wanted to find the other party. No matter what, he had to get to the bottom of it. If everything was a lost cause, he would give up. Hearing that, Renee seemed conflicted as if deciding whether to tell them everything. “It doesn’t do me any good to tell you this. Why should I take the risk for no reason? I do business. You need to pay a price for it,” Renee said with a smile. Philip laughed. The words sounded very familiar to him as if he said them before. He used to say such things when he was doing business just to bluff some dumb customers. “Of course, I know you do business. If you’re willing to tell us something, we can offer you something in return, whether money or other resources,” Philip said with calm confidence. No matter what the other party wanted, he could easily provide it. Renee smiled at Philip’s words. “It's
The woman seemed amused by Philip’s request. “I know what you’re worried about. Don’t worry, I’m not a liar. Although my actions don’t seem aboveboard to you, I’m not a bad person.” The woman did not hide anything. She knew that Philip had seen through the secret of her singing. As the only man who discovered her secret, she admired Philip very much. She once vowed that she would marry the man who could resist the temptation of her singing. “By the way, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Renee, and I'm an employee of Moon Tavern. My job is very simple, that is to bring in more profits to the tavern.” Renee seemed very sincere and told them everything about herself. “However, my method isn’t very aboveboard. You already know that I make profits by using my singing to attract customers.” Renee mentioned her secret frankly, and Philip was surprised by her honesty. “As for the secret between me and the lark people, I can tell you that they hate me so much because some
Seeing everyone’s reaction, Philip was all the more interested in this mysterious existence. He wanted to find out who they were to act so arrogantly. Obviously, the lark people were stronger than anyone could imagine. Ordinary people were afraid of this family no matter how powerful they were. Maybe the storyteller felt uncomfortable at the mention of this family, but he quickly left after a while. Philip and the others were disappointed that they could not find out the news they wanted. When they thought that they had to return in defeat, a woman appeared and looked at them calmly. The woman was wearing a veil on her face, making it impossible to see her appearance. The veil was quite an extraordinary item that could block various detections. However, Philip recognized her at a glance. She was the woman singing on the stage just now. She actually approached them. Things were getting more and more interesting. “What you want to know is taboo. Come with me if you want to fi
Meanwhile, backstage at Moon Tavern, the waiter was telling the woman singing on stage earlier about what had happened in the private room. The woman was full of disbelief, thinking the waiter was lying. “Don’t try to bluff me. How could anyone resist my attack?” The woman wore a veil on her face and looked very mysterious. Only the woman knew how disgusting she looked when she was not performing or casting spells. Covering her face was the best choice. The waiter told her what happened and described the state Philip and the others were in earlier. Although two people were affected, it was a problem because one person had remained conscious.They would face a lot of problems if other people discovered their tricks. The woman's tricks were extraordinary. Even a powerful person with superb strength would find it difficult to get rid of her attack. These so-called strong experts would only end up falling for her trick. At this time, the storyteller went on stage, and he was t
Philip nodded. “Do I have to order something else?” A hint of realization flashed in Philip’s eyes. He realized what was going on. The woman had the ability to bewitch the customers by affecting their thinking and emotions through singing and inducing them into spending money. She exuded a special charm to attract the customers even though she looked ordinary. In their minds, she was an unattainable goddess. Everyone saw a different woman in their minds but charming nonetheless, tempting them to spend money on her even though it would cost them all their fortune. However, Philip was different. He could control his emotions very well, so this woman had almost no influence on him. He realized this problem when he first heard that mysterious song. The waiter scowled and finally left the private room in horror after much deliberation. Philip did not say anything at his hasty departure. The woman quickly left the stage after playing her zither, and the bewitched customers
“Something is wrong. I find that woman a little weird.” Hearing that, they were curious to find out how Philip concluded that. “Although she’s not that good-looking, I don’t think she’s weird. What do you think is wrong with her?” Carlos said in puzzlement, wondering why Philip felt that this woman was weird. “The woman seems to have a fatal attraction to the male customers. It’s a scary ability to make these men flock to her.” It was weird that a woman with average looks could attract so many men. No one would believe that she had a strong appeal. “Welcome to Moon Tavern. I’ll be singing a song for you today. I hope you like it.” The woman's delicate voice rang, and everyone felt relaxed and happy. Even Philip felt that this voice was very charming, like the sound of nature ringing in his ears. However, Philip was not a fool. He keenly sensed something wrong with the situation. Nothing would be charming enough to attract him. For it to happen meant that something was wro
“Give us three pots of tea. We don’t need anything else. Thank you.” Philip did not order anything else. In his opinion, he was just here to find information, so his money should be spent on things that mattered the most. The waiter rolled his eyes at the order and seemed to look down on Philip. “Customers, are you sure you only want a few pots of tea? We have many snacks too,” the waiter said in disdain. Carlos was more concerned about his image, so he was shocked by the waiter’s obvious disdain. “Yes, we only need a pot of tea each. We want to have a taste first.” Adam's attitude was much better, speaking with a friendly smile on his face. Even if the waiter was angry, he could do nothing about it. The waiter left cursing under his breath. He thought that they were big customers, but they did not even give him a tip. Philip glanced at the waiter helplessly. Even waiters were so arrogant nowadays. Philip and the others were quickly served three pots of tea. The pots
