Martha shouted frantically, afraid that Philip would give up on her. Skeeter glanced at Martha in displeasure. This woman was really annoying. Maurice condoned Martha’s yelling. The more excited she was, the more anxious Philip would be. “Stop shouting. This is the territory of the Smith Guild. Can’t you see how miserable these people look? They’ll definitely let us go. With my status here, what can they do?” Skeeter said in dissatisfaction, feeling very disdainful of Martha's cowardly behavior. Martha frowned at his sarcasm. “Hehe, when they first captured you, your behavior was worse than mine. Why were you not disgusted when you knelt and begged for mercy?” Martha was an arrogant person by nature. After enduring so much fear, she finally vented. Hearing their argument, Maurice glanced at Philip triumphantly. “Haha, Philip and Emery, as you can see, your people are completely at our mercy. If you want to save them, let’s have a chat. I won’t give in to you this time
Aslan could not stand this annoying woman any longer. He stepped forward and slapped Martha in the face. Martha immediately calmed down, but her battered face became worse. Philip nodded with satisfaction and agreed with Aslan's approach. Although he wanted to do it, he knew he could not. He was happy that someone did it on his behalf. “Am I safe now?” Martha exclaimed, pleasantly surprised that she was back to safety. Skeeter panicked at Martha’s rescue. “What about me? Save me!” Skeeter had no idea what he should do. It did not look like Emery was going to save him. Skeeter tried to speak to Emery, “Guild Leader!” His voice trembled with anxiety, fearing that Emery would ignore him. If Emery wanted to save him, he would have done so already. However, he took no action and even seemed like he was watching the fun. Skeeter was very worried about his attitude. In fact, Maurice was more worried than Skeeter. He did not expect that Philip would choose to
Skeeter was horrified that Emery would give up on him. As the guild’s senior member, he knew exactly how important his position was. The guild leader had never spoken harshly to him no matter what he did. That gave him all the confidence he needed. However, Emery disappointed him today. Emery was about to give up on an elite weaponsmith such as him. “Guild Leader, I recently found a new method of weaponsmithing. I’m sure that it can replace some traditional methods.” Skeeter was very worried to see Emery ignoring him. He started talking nonsense to display his value. Once he caught Emery’s attention, Emery would save him. The most important thing now was to survive. Even if Emery found out that he was lying, nothing would happen. After all, Emery was very lenient on him. “Cut the crap. An annoying person like you deserves this!” Delia said disdainfully. She had always found Skeeter to be a nasty person. Everyone felt very happy about Skeeter’s comeuppance.
Maurice held back on this attack. Anyone could have stopped the wind blade easily, but no one made a move. Maurice was very puzzled by this bizarre outcome. “What’s going on?” The reactions of the people from the Smith Guild were too strange for words. A member of their guild just died, so why were they smiling brightly as if they were about to pop a champagne to celebrate it? Delia jumped at this scene. Although Delia never interfered in the guild’s affairs, she was aware of Skeeter's thoughts about her. Delia had always been obsessed with good looks, so a short and old man like Skeeter did not attract her at all. However, he pursued Delia shamelessly, always hoping that Emery would marry his daughter to him. He even used various means to threaten Emery. After having had enough of Skeeter, Delia was in a very good mood. Other members could not contain their excitement and jumped for joy too. The biggest villain and troublemaker in their guild was dead! This w
Emery did not expect Philip to make such a decision. Everyone knew that a lot of resources were involved in this. The Pill Guild was an establishment with years of heritage and foundation. Moreover, they had taken over many large and small guilds recently, so they must have accumulated unlimited resources. However, Philip gave it up so casually. His resolve was unbelievable. At least, Emery would not have that fortitude. Maurice trembled in rage upon hearing Philip’s remark. He wished he could rip Philip into pieces. Although he had been defeated, he only lost to Philip! Handing him to Emery was an insult to him! “Wait a minute!” Maurice snapped. Even if he died, it had to be with dignity. Philip turned to Maurice in confusion. “You defeated me, so I can only admit that I’m not as good as you. But what’s the meaning of handing me over to another loser to deal with? Even if I’m going to die, at least let me die with dignity! “We're a reputable guild. You can't hu
Martha laughed at this scene. “Hehe, as I said, you’re nothing but a loser. What else can you do when you can’t even control the people under you?” Maurice was furious at Martha’s sarcasm. She went too far. Maurice glared at Philip and Emery and made a decision. No matter what method he used or what price he paid, he had to leave this place today. As Martha looked at him mockingly, everyone saw a blood mist in front of them. “Oh no, he’s going to self-destruct!” Aslan yelled. He stood in front of Philip warily. Although he knew that Philip would not be injured, he had to perform his duty as an underling. Everyone took action to set up a barrier to resist a practitioner’s self-destruction. Just when everyone thought Maurice would kill everyone by committing suicide, Maurice vanished right under their noses. Everyone was dumbfounded by this sudden turn of events. They did not expect Maurice to escape. He consumed a lot of energy to use a blood technique to escap
Montel had nothing to do, so he made a prediction. He found that Martha was in danger, so he looked for her and realized that she had gone missing. According to his prediction, Martha was in dire straits. He deployed everyone to search for Martha in the surrounding area. At this time, Aslan pulled Martha over. “She was kidnapped by a reclusive guild.” Aslan waved his hands unhappily. Montel’s worry was finally lifted, and he quickly called everyone to stop searching. Everyone hurried back after receiving the news, surprised that Martha was actually with Philip. They quickly learned the whole story from Aslan, who was the only talkative one among them. Wynn and Charles stared at Martha ruefully. No one expected Martha to land in such a mess. If Fennel had not rescued Martha in time, the enemy would have used Martha to threaten Philip. Martha knew she was in the wrong too. She did not expect to be targeted by these bad guys. She almost lost her life. However, Ma
Just when Philip was about to explore this place, a group of people approached from a distance. They were chatting as they walked. They were quite a lively bunch. Soon, they bumped into Philip. Philip noticed the stark difference in their clothing. These people were surprised to see Philip standing all alone here. Philip quickly realized that this was a foreign land! With his many years of experience surviving in foreign lands, Philip quickly adjusted to the situation. “Hey, why are you wandering alone in Guzo Forest? It’s very dangerous, you know,” the leader of the group asked doubtfully. This person in front of him was dressed strangely and did not seem to be from around here. Was he seeking refuge? “I came with a team, but we encountered a monster beast and got separated!” Philip quickly made up a random story. The other party did not doubt his words. Philip was clearly a traveling merchant from another city. Only such people would wear this strange attire.
“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
