“It’ll be too late If something really happens. As for the rest, I’ll make other arrangements.” Philip spoke to Emery in secret. He told Emery about selling and auctioning the pills, and Emery was very quick on the uptake. He mastered everything proficiently and was more meticulous about certain things. Philip was very pleased with Emery. Barring any accidents, all the pills Philip made would be sold through the Smith Guild from now on. Philip gave Emery some pills. Since the Pill Guild wanted to seize the Smith Guild, Philip would take over the Smith Guild first. After everything was done, Philip obtained a note from one of the members. “This looks exactly like a scam. Tell everyone not to trust this note or app!” Philip had to admit that the content of the note was very tempting, but he knew it was just a scam. This note was nothing but a scheme made up by the Pill Guild. They wanted to use this method to separate the guild from Philip. This idea was rather naïv
“I decided to go with you to speak to the other guilds. I’m afraid they’ve been brainwashed by now,” Philip said helplessly. He made a prediction and understood many things. Although his fortune-telling ability was not as good as that of the Zucker family, he could somewhat find something. Skeeter seemed a little worried and said in exaggeration that if this matter was not handled well, everything would end in destruction. Philip marveled at Skeeter’s wild imagination. The Pill Guild's objective was not to destroy the world but simply to control the members. Leaders and elders of major guilds would not fall for this trick, but the members were different. They were weak and had limited resources. Young people nowadays could not stay away from their mobile phones, and practitioners were no exception. Philip looked at the number on the phone that was still growing and scowled. At this time, Aslan quietly slipped away from the game he was playing with Delia. He was su
If Aslan had not wasted some time playing games with Delia, he would not have been late. ‘I must find a chance to compete with him!’ Aslan thought, his fighting spirit surging. Fennel did not say a word until they reached the Smith Guild. “Don't think about it, I won't compete with you. I comprehended all my tracking and concealment techniques on my own.” After saying this, he disappeared in front of Aslan. Aslan felt embarrassed, afraid that Fennel had misunderstood his intention. Aslan did not want to challenge Fennel for real. He simply wanted to see who was better between them. Aslan quickly chased after Fennel, trying to explain. When he found Fennel, he was already making his report to Philip. “They're gathered at this location. I didn’t expect them to occupy a cave.” Fennel frowned. They must have taken many lives in the process. “Their wild ambitions are still burning strong. They’ll definitely turn up at the Smith Guild again.” Fennel heard a lot of ne
The Pill Guild was surprised to discover that Philip was not famous in Highford at all, making it difficult to find any information about him. Even Mila Clarke, who looked like a nice girl but was actually a devil in disguise, was more famous than Philip. The people from the Pill Guild quickly found some inside information, which was released by Philip on purpose. The elder of the Pill Guild returned to the cave to report his findings to Maurice. He went to great lengths to get this information. “Guild Leader, I finally figured out the situation!” he quickly told Maurice what he knew. The others stared at him keenly, waiting to unveil Philip’s air of mystery. “He’s just a casual practitioner. He doesn’t belong to any guild at all! His family members are ordinary people in the secular world. They're his weakness!” After saying this, he pulled a woman over. This was a family member of Philip whom he captured after he received the information. The news could easily be
Martha greedily took several big mouthfuls of air but did not open her eyes for fear that someone would notice her. As a smart woman, she knew that she had been kidnapped. She had to stay calm and find a way to escape. As Martha breathed deeply, a man said, “Stop playing dead. Stand up.” Martha spat a mouthful of blood. She looked up in horror and realized that this guy was actually a practitioner. It was none other than Maurice. After the elder of the Pill Guild brought Martha in, she kept playing dead. Practitioners like them could easily tell, so Martha’s actions were completely exposed under their noses. Martha felt a little embarrassed. She wiped the blood from her mouth and stood up. Martha did not dare to show any disrespect in front of practitioners. Martha only bullied those weaker than her. The only practitioner she dared to pick on was probably Philip. These people seemed quite imposing in their long robes, but they looked very fierce and made it clear th
“I’m Philip’s mother-in-law, not his biological mother,” Martha explained nervously, afraid that they would over-complicate the relationship between her and Philip. “I see. Keep an eye on this woman. She’ll be of great use later.” Since Martha had admitted her identity, they could not refuse such good bait. Since she was Philip's mother-in-law, he could not turn a blind eye to her no matter how good or bad their relationship was.… In the meantime, the meeting at the Smith Guild had turned into a heated discussion. To be precise, Skeeter was the only person talking. Skeeter came up with a series of plans to deal with the Pill Guild. As the most senior member, he was confident that his strength could not be underestimated. He spoke in a commanding tone as if he was the boss of everyone. Aslan never liked people like him, and he could not help but snap, “Since you’re so enthusiastic about this topic, what were you doing when the Smith Guild was in trouble earlier?” S
Delia felt sick at the sight of Skeeter's disgusting face. “Wow, you’re so lucky to have been away when the guild was in trouble. And you coincidentally returned when everything was over!” Aslan was very sarcastic, making it obvious that he disliked Skeeter. Delia chuckled. Everyone knew what Aslan meant. After Skeeter heard some rumors, he quickly said that he wanted to go out to experience the world and left without hesitation. It was very unlike him. After the incident happened, everyone knew what was going on, and no one had a good impression of Skeeter. Seeing Skeeter's attitude, Emery was about to tell him of the decision to follow Philip when Skeeter said to Aslan, “Hehe, I don’t need to listen to you. Losers like you aren't worthy of speaking to me.” Skeeter did not take Aslan seriously at all. After that, he turned around and said, “You just need to follow my plans. When the Pill Guild turns up again, we can take them down by working together.” He made the de
Delia complained, “Skeeter used to work at the resource office. When our members wanted to collect their monthly practice resource, they’d be humiliated by his harsh words! We didn’t know about it until things became so serious that we had to transfer him!” Emery felt a little embarrassed too. After all, Skeeter remained at the guild with his consent. Although Skeeter’s character was not good, Emery valued his weapon-smithing skills. “I always thought that as long as his smithing talent is good, we could overlook his character flaws. But now it seems that I was too naïve!” Emery felt that he had made a mistake. He thought that Skeeter would turn over a new leaf as he grew older, but he became more and more aggressive instead. Maybe he was so conceited because he had Emery to back him up. “I think you need to take Skeeter in hand. With his character, he’ll get into trouble sooner or later!” Aslan grumbled. Philip smiled. Although he disliked Skeeter too, he had a feeli
