Maurice’s anger was quickly replaced by a bright smile. He knew that Philip could not escape his clutches. Philip noticed his rapid change of expression and felt exasperated. This guy had to be out of his mind. Philip knew exactly what Maurice was thinking. Since he had the guts for it, Philip had nothing to fear either. “I know you’re making preparations to enter the secular world. In that case, let us meet there.” Philip waved to everyone and turned around to leave. Then, he noticed a woman staring at him. This woman's eyes were full of anger as if she wanted to rip him into pieces. Philip frowned in confusion. He did not recognize this woman with average looks. As Philip turned to leave, everyone pondered over his words. They were practitioners of high status. They left the Harrod family's compound in a flash without any hesitation. Now that Philip had promised to start selling his pills, they had to raise money quickly. Everyone wanted to buy his pills.
Lilian’s eyes were full of killing intent. She hated Philip to the core. As the abandoned daughter of the family, Lilian could only depend on Terence to make ends meet. Now that Terence was dead and Denzel was of no help, Lilian had no idea who she should rely on. Philip finally realized that this woman was Terence's mother. “That loser’s death is nothing worth mentioning,” Fennel said in disdain. Fennel had never had a good impression of Terence. Philip could tell that Lilian was not really seeking revenge for her son but more so expressing her helpless anger. Philip noticed something was wrong with Terence when he killed him. His bloodline was impure. He was not a pure human. If Philip was not mistaken, Terence was the offspring of a monster beast and a human. Philip did not know which monster beast the other half of the bloodline was, but he knew that the outcome was not optimum. If Terence could have perfectly blended the best qualities of both human and monst
Elmer glanced at Lilian in horror and saw the broken dagger next to her. He had an impression of this dagger. It was Lilian’s favorite toy. Honing her speed to perfection was an alternate method of practice. Unexpectedly, her dagger was now broken and Lilian was dying. Without any delay, Elmer walked up to Philip and apologized in fear, “I'm very sorry for not taking her in hand.” Since Elmer received the pills from Philip, he understood the benefits of riding on his coattails. Although the Harrod family was not that clean, no family or guild could claim that they were innocent. “Both he and she must die.” Philip pointed at Lilian and Denzel with disdain. He had not forgotten what Denzel did. At this time, Lilian woke up in disbelief. She never thought that Philip would actually ask the head of the family to kill her. Of course, Denzel was most surprised. Denzel was shocked to hear Philip make that request. He could understand why Philip wanted to kill Lilia
Paco watched in silence and lamented Elmer’s ruthlessness. If Elmer had accepted Paco back then, Terence would not have ended up that way. Although Terence’s bloodline was not good, he would have gotten better after Paco’s careful grooming. However, Elmer forced them to separate and even went as far as to massacre the eagle monster beast clan. Paco was not very strong back then and could watch as his people suffered. Now that he was fully grown, he kept the grudge in his heart. In his opinion, it was better not to mess with humans unless absolutely necessary. Now that energy had been revived, humans had become more powerful. One wrong step and humans would retaliate. Paco had always been a cautious guy. Denzel questioned Philip unhappily as if he was seeking justice. “I’m not killing you because of your bad performance or because you offended me but because you killed everyone in that diner,” Philip said calmly, but his eyes were full of murderous intent. He had t
Practitioners could not figure out the purpose of the existence of mortal beings. To them, there was no difference between mortals and monster beasts. Perhaps mortals were even less than monster beasts. Paco changed his mind after hearing Philip’s words. He thought Philip was a cunning guy at first but later found out that Philip was quite a capable cunning guy. Now, it seemed that it was a misunderstanding. Philip was an ambitious and conscientious practitioner, totally different from these people. “Whether they're normal humans or monster beasts, you have no right to attack them when they did nothing to you!” Philip said angrily. Energy gathered in his right hand, and he grabbed Denzel’s head. Denzel’s consciousness and energy core were shattered into pieces in an instant. Denzel was turned into an ordinary person. “Since you look down on mortals so much, I’ll turn you into one and let you experience the despair of being tortured.” Philip wanted to kill him, but o
Elmer remained indifferent. Denzel was still hopeful. “I hereby announce that Denzel Harrod has been exiled and is no longer a member of the Harrod family!” His voice contained a lot of energy and people within a hundred miles heard this statement. Members of the Harrod family looked up in shock. Although they were not there, they could imagine the severity of this matter. Even though Lilian gave birth to a son with a monster beast, Elmer did not drive her away. What exactly did Denzel do for Elmer to make that decision? Although everyone was puzzled, no one asked. They knew that joining the fun would only land them in trouble. Hence, they decided to stay silent and wait until the incident was over to find out what happened. After issuing the statement to drive Denzel away, Elmer relaxed. The problem that had troubled the family for so long had been resolved, and he thanked Philip from the bottom of his heart. If Philip had not proposed to kill them, Elmer would
Martha had always been up to no good and never stayed at home, so Aslan followed her per his duty. Even a powerful practitioner would find it difficult to detect Aslan’s presence, not to mention a normal human. Thus, Martha never noticed Aslan despite all her activities outside. Aslan sighed as Martha chatted animatedly with the young man. “What’s wrong with humans nowadays?” Aslan could not figure it out. Wynn and Philip were living a happy life, but this woman had to interfere for some reason. Who else in this world could have a better future than Philip? Impossible! Aslan knew that people from the reclusive practitioner world would soon take over the secular world. By then, secular people would simply serve as cannon fodder. Only Philip’s people would stand a chance to survive this storm. Thus, Aslan did not look highly upon these ordinary practitioners. “Since you've agreed, I’ll make arrangements and contact you again!” Martha said happily, feeling as if sh
Everyone thought Martha was in trouble again, but the truth was that she had arranged a blind date for Wynn! This was simply unbelievable. Wynn was happily married with kids. How could she go on a blind date? “What are you talking about? What about Philip?” Noelle was furious and wished she could kill Martha. Montel frowned and made a prediction. He scowled and said, “According to my prediction, this woman will force Wynn to go on the blind date!” Montel's eyes were filled with murderous intent. They knew that Wynn would never cheat on Philip. She valued kinship very much. Maybe she would choose to compromise and go on the blind date under Martha's pressure, but they did not want to place Wynn in a difficult spot. “We have to do something about this,” Aslan said flatly. He did not like Martha at all. Philip was obviously a man with the best potential, but Martha was still dissatisfied with him. Who else would treat Philip in this manner? If not for the sake of f
“Get ready. I’ll bring you along to break the barriers later. I believe it won’t be difficult for you to sneak inside.” Adam and Carlos decided to enter the place for a look. No matter what, they had to figure out the situation. No one wanted to cause trouble for no reason. “Since you've decided to go in, I’ll break the barrier for you.” The mayor’s residence was full of barriers. One wrong move and they would be in trouble. Adam and Carlos were surprised to hear Philip’s remark. No one expected to find barriers in this place. “What?” Carlos exclaimed in surprise. “I sense something wrong with this place. We may encounter an accident if we’re not careful.” Adam was better at such things and expressed his helplessness at this scene. “Are you sure you can handle it?” Adam asked cautiously. He was not familiar with this area. Although his practice level was high, he was not knowledgeable in this area. Things like making pills or setting up formations were unknown to him.
Although the city belonged to the lark people, they generally allowed people from other families to reside there. This old woman was obviously not one of the lark people, so she was quite emotional about such things. “This member of the lark family is very powerful with a high status, not someone ordinary people like us can speak about.” Although she said so, she still told Adam everything she knew, catching all his attention. “This is fascinating.” It never occurred to Adam that the person getting married would be the woman he had been thinking about. He just simply thought that it was an event worth celebrating. “Do you know what the woman looks like? Can you describe her appearance to us? I’m quite curious about it,” Philip said with an expectant chuckle. The old woman described the bride’s appearance, but her description was not very credible. She simply said that the bride was very beautiful. “The bride has a bad reputation. It seemed that she went missing for a wh
Renee felt helpless at Carlos’ jibe. He was insufferable. Philip frowned at their brainless banter. “Cut the crap. Don't you see that everyone around you is eavesdropping on you? One wrong word and you’ll expose yourselves.” Visitors were welcomed in this city, but they treated outsiders with caution and would never let them stay for no reason. “I have to say that the lark people are really rich and influential to own such a large city. They must've been around for thousands of years,” Adam said with relief. In his opinion, his lover seemed more mysterious now, most probably the daughter of a big family. He felt like he had won the affection of a rich woman. “In that case, it's even harder for you to marry into a wealthy family. They have very strict requirements for their sons-in-law, and you’ll most likely end up being inferior to a woman. That’s not a good thing.” Carlos shook his head helplessly. They had seen many such cases and knew about the mess. Adam ignored Ca
“You have to believe that the people of this family don’t value feelings at all. Those things are worthless to them.” Renee had been dealing with them for a long time. She knew them very well and hated their behavior. In their opinion, nothing was more important than themselves. They would only cause trouble for others and never value feelings. “No one can say for sure what will happen. Maybe after our relationship, Ashley has changed her mind and decided to be with me.” Adam was still hopeful. In his opinion, he had a chance to win Ashley back. “Since you don't want to believe me, let's give it a try. I want to see how this infamous family will treat you.” Renee arrived in disguise. Since Renee had a big conflict with the lark people, she had to disguise herself. Philip was very good in this area and turned Renee into another person, making sure that no one would recognize her. Adam did not change his looks. He was very satisfied with his appearance and could not wait to
The spokesperson was the grandmaster of the lark people, and he suffered a great blow. After much deliberation, he finally decided to deal with this matter properly. The woman who had embarrassed the lark people had to die. He had thought they could get rid of the woman easily, but she was very good at hiding. Now that so many years had passed, he was no longer keen on pursuing the matter anymore. Unexpectedly, someone used this incident to mock his family today. This time, he vowed to get rid of that woman even if he had to deploy all the forces of the family. At least, they could not allow the reputation of the lark people to be tarnished. “Send someone to find the whereabouts of that woman. You have to capture her alive at all costs. I want to execute her in public,” he ordered his shadow guards to take action. No matter what, the lark people had to right the wrong. The scouts of the lark people quickly got to work. As professionals, they knew what to do. Renee had been
“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
