The news quickly spread among everyone present. Even Philip and Fennel overheard the whole story, which was quite exciting. Denzel and Paco scowled darkly. “I won’t allow you to speak of my sister like that!” Denzel threw fireballs at everyone, but the fireballs were not very powerful and could only serve as a deterrent. The old man laughed even more loudly at Denzel’s words. “Oh, is that disgraceful woman your sister? The Harrod family is very kind for not kicking her out of the family yet!” The old man almost fell to the ground from laughing so much. Paco was furious at this scene. He did not care if someone laughed at the Harrod family, but these people were insulting him. So what if he was a monster beast? “Are you saying that you look down on monster beasts?” Paco said with a cold killing intent. Feeling the overwhelming murderous intent, everyone stopped laughing. The old man felt his strength and became serious. He could feel that the other party was re
As Denzel and Paco were lost in anxiety, Rick smiled as he escaped. Although Rick did not take action, he had a powerful technique that allowed him to make a swap. He could steal anything even under Paco’s nose. Rick carefully put the pill into a box he had already prepared. Members of the Pill Guild had their unique way of storing pills. He had to hurry back to the guild. He had to inform the elders of the guild about this magical pill. To prevent Paco from chasing after him, Rick ran as fast as he could back to the guild with his Earth Traversing Technique. When he arrived, the elders were having tea with the guild leader. They noticed his miserable state and frowned. “I've told you many times to pay attention to your image when you’re outside. As a senior member of the Pill Guild, you represent us wherever you go!” The First Elder, Oscar, said angrily. Rick was none other than his student. Seeing the wretched look on his usually elegant and obedient student,
First Elder Oscar wanted to speak up on Rick’s behalf at first, but he felt embarrassed after seeing the jelly bean presented. He wished he could stuff his head into the ground if there was a hole right now. Rick saw everyone's reactions and read their thoughts. “Don't get me wrong. This pill is perfectly made!” At first, Rick also thought it was a jelly bean with nothing special about it. However, he witnessed how Philip had quickly recovered from his injuries and restored his energy after taking the pill. It was enough to prove that this pill was genuine. With only one pill in hand, he could not prove it to them. The only choice was for the leader to study it. Seeing Rick’s excitement, Oscar hesitated. He felt that he could trust Rick. “Leader, why don’t we study the pill?” Oscar suggested nervously. Although he also thought it was a jelly bean, he chose to believe his student in the end. Rick looked at Oscar gratefully and smiled brightly. “Thank you, tea
Rick nodded with certainty, and the leader scowled. He did not expect to hear Denzel Harrod's name. Denzel was nothing special, but the Harrod family was difficult to mess with. It was not that easy to steal someone from the Harrod family. “Also, the monster beast son-in-law of the Harrod family is back. I almost got killed by him just now!” Rick felt a lingering fear. He did his fair share in mocking Paco. If he had been more conspicuous, he would have met the same fate as the old man. The leader's expression became more serious. After much deliberation, he decided to talk to the Harrod family in person. “I’ll arrange a time to meet with the Harrod family. I hope there’s nothing wrong with your information.” The leader sighed and decided to talk to them in person. Now that the Harrod family had taken the lead in acquiring the pill maker, the Pill Guild had lost the head start. In that case, the leader could only take a step back and find a way to talk to them.
Paco did not have a good impression of the Harrod family. They only saw him as a burden and a disgrace. They never said anything good about him. As the supreme king of the eagle monster beasts, how could he tolerate stupid humans humiliating him like this? If his son were not in the Harrod family, he would have already regarded them as his enemies. “You stay here for now. I'll meet them.” Denzel opened the door solemnly and hurried to the living room. The leader of the Pill Guild had the same status as their family head, so he was sure that the head of the Harrod family would not dare to neglect him. Sure enough, when the leader arrived at the living room, he found that many people were already there. The leader of the Pill Guild and the head of the Harrod family sat drinking tea without speaking. Denzel felt nervous at this scene. Denzel was considered an ordinary family member, so his appearance did not cause any commotion. The leader and family head smiled afte
If they had a conflict, Maurice still stood a chance. If he offered some reasonable terms, he could definitely win over this person. Anyone could be bought over. He just needed to offer the right terms. Maurice smiled brightly at this thought. Elmer was a smart person and immediately knew Maurice was up to no good. If Denzel really found a talent, he would not give up so easily. Elmer smiled awkwardly and said, “Who knows if that’s the truth? Maybe they're making up stories. If there's such a person, why would he join the Harrod family?” Elmer had a point. Although the Harrod family was quite powerful, alchemists would generally not choose to join them. They could develop better in a guild while joining a family would only mean servitude. Hence, alchemists would usually choose to join the Pill Guild. “Nothing is set in stone,” Maurice said with a smile, not backing down. If the Harrod family still wanted to do business with the Pill Guild, they had to compromise.
As the saying went, the grass was always greener on the other side. It was normal for the reclusive world to go to the secular world to seek better development. “We have no control over this, and no one can stop the practitioner world from making a choice,” Fennel said helplessly. He knew that this was a difficult matter to deal with. Once the reclusive world merged with the secular world, all the commoners would suffer. Even the officials would not be able to do anything. There were too many powerful people in the reclusive world with no one to govern them at all. Without the existence of a leader, they would do whatever they wanted. As the two discussed this serious topic, Denzel and Paco found them. Philip did not deliberately hide his tracks, so it was easy to find him. Denzel stood in front of Philip, panting. He was so worried that Philip had escaped and he would be doomed. Philip and Fennel looked at Denzel’s miserable state in puzzlement. Why did this guy
“Since you've mentioned it, I should grant your wish.” Philip chuckled as if this was Fennel’s idea. Fennel was unfazed. This should be the way between them. Philip and Fennel were quickly brought into the hall, where everyone looked at the door expectantly. They were very interested in the alchemist Maurice mentioned. When did such a talented alchemist appear in the reclusive practice world? Everyone was puzzled. By right, the appearance of such a powerful alchemist would definitely cause a big commotion, so this silence was a bit strange. Philip appeared amidst everyone’s anticipation. They were confused at the sight of Philip and Fennel. Did Denzel not go out to fetch the other party? Why did he bring two young men back? Could they be the alchemist’s assistants here to make the welcome arrangements? “Denzel, what's wrong with you? Why did you bring the alchemist’s assistants back with you instead? I told you to invite the alchemist!” Elmer said unhappily. H
“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
On the other hand, Lincoln was shocked to find that Hogster was dead. Lincoln had been watching the situation and knew that Philip was a powerful person. Everything was most likely related to Philip. However, he never thought that Philip could make people stronger. He had heard of some special circumstances that could improve someone’s strength. He had roughly guessed the implications but never paid much attention to the matter. In his opinion, the Hexa Guild was already ruined. If he wanted to save the guild, he had to get rid of Alain and his people. Lincoln had lost trust in the guild. If he had not left his seclusion by chance, he would not have bothered about anything. “Forget it. Stop throwing your weight around. Since your son died a tragic death, I won’t make things difficult for you,” Carlos said in disdain.He knew what Alain had done, so he did not have a good impression of him. Although his remark sounded a little hurtful, it felt good to say it. The other guil
“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
