Alton could hardly refuse the request and quickly agreed. “No problem, we have a lack of maids in the mayor’s residence anyway. Just follow me.” Alton’s pretentious attitude made it impossible for anyone to discover his true nature. Scarlet knew that her plan had succeeded. The two of them left with their own agendas. The onlookers praised the mayor and thought he was the best man in the world. He was even willing to take the woman in as a maid to take care of her livelihood. Everyone cheered and applauded Alton. Alton smiled triumphantly and knew that his plan was a complete success. The two of them quickly hooked up, and Alton was very satisfied with Scarlet. Alton even had the illusion that this was his true love. With Scarlet's practice during this time combined with the pills she purchased from Philip, Scarlet’s level had reached greater heights. It was easier for her to control Alton now, but the duration was limited. Faced with the waves of spells, Alton had comple
Alton was surprised that his son did not attend his classes but came here to ruin his fun instead. Cosmo sneered and said, “The commotion you made attracted my attention!” Alton felt frustrated at Cosmo’s sarcastic retort. “Whatever, I’ll just blame it on your youth and ignorance. Don’t say such things again. You should return to your classes right now!” Alton waved his hand in dismissal. He still doted on his son. “Give me the woman inside,” Cosmo said. Alton was startled and turned to Cosmo in disbelief. “What did you say?” Cosmo stared at his father steadfastly and repeated his request with emphasis, “I said, give me the woman inside.” Alton was furious. Not to mention that he was already obsessed with Scarlet, even if she was just a tool for him to vent, she was not someone his son could touch! “Get out of my sight!” He smacked Cosmo and sent him flying. Cosmo looked at his father angrily. He had never suffered this treatment before. “Don’t say such things a
Scarlet nodded obediently. Seeing that, Alton hardened his resolve and left. Soon after that, Cosmo barged into the room. He held a dagger in his hand and wanted to cut this woman into pieces. He simply wanted to kill this woman when he asked for her earlier. While Alton was away, Cosmo wanted to get it done. Alton usually targeted ordinary women with little to no practice ability. As a practitioner, it was easy for Cosmo to kill someone. In fact, he could have killed this woman by stealth, but to fake a scenario of the mistresses competing for favor and killing each other, he decided to use the crudest method. Scarlet stared in disbelief at the man who suddenly barged in and quickly recognized him. Before Scarlet could say anything, Cosmo rushed over with a dagger and stabbed her in the heart. An ordinary person would be dead under that attack. Scarlet quickly dodged to avoid the attack. As both were practitioners, the chase went on for a while. “You're actually such a p
Scarlet was surprised that everything went so smoothly. This father and son were so gullible. Scarlet was also proud that the trap she set caused conflicts among many people. “Let’s see what you can do next, little guy.” Scarlet smiled as Cosmo left. She took another pill to ensure her appearance remained unchanged. She could only gain the trust of others by maintaining this appearance.… Meanwhile, Alton found Mark. At first, he thought he would let Mark take charge, but he was so slow that Alton was getting impatient. “Have you taken any action? Why haven't I heard anything?” Alton questioned Mark unhappily. “If you can’t get it done, let someone else do it!” Alton snapped so fiercely that the domestic staff cowered in fear. Mark sighed and told Alton what happened the other day. At first, he wanted to take this opportunity to capture Philip’s alchemist. Not only did he fail, but he also alerted the enemy. His men were keeping watch at the door but saw no signs of the othe
Before Alton’s arrival, Mark had sent someone to report the situation to Alton, but it seemed he had not heard of it yet. “As a last resort, I plan to break into the yard and capture the kid by force. That’s the only hope we have. What else can we do if the kid refuses to leave the house?” Everyone discussed the plan and finally made an important decision. They would kidnap the kid by force. The kid was just an immature teenager and would not understand these plots and grudges. If they could not lure him out, they could use some special means to trick him into joining them. The discussion slowly shifted to talking about their children. “Try and talk to Cosmo nicely. He’s a good kid. Maybe he’s just feeling rebellious. If that doesn’t work, we can think of something else. It’s a mental health issue that has to be addressed in time,” Mark advised Alton in a roundabout way as if he knew something. Alton was puzzled by Mark’s odd remarks. “What exactly do you mean? Just spit
Alton clenched his fists, shocked by his son’s actions. “He wants Philip to deal with me, there's no doubt about it!” Alton quickly guessed the truth. He would not hesitate to kill anyone who had second thoughts, but this was his precious son. His only child! “Yes, we have to kill Philip at once to prevent anything from happening or he’ll lead my son astray!” In Alton's twisted mind, everything was Philip's fault. Cosmo would never have the crazy thought of getting rid of him if Philip had not brainwashed him. “It’s all his fault. I only have one precious son to inherit the family business. If anything happens, I’ll obliterate him!” Alton was prepared to do whatever it took to get rid of Philip. Once Treasure House was in his city, he could easily control it. “I have a plan.” Alton pulled Mark over for a private discussion. After Alton changed his mind and decided to kill Philip, Mark was excited. He could take this advantage to gain some benefits too. Meanwhile, Phil
A vicious pressure swept over them. The hunters spat out blood, and their faces turned pale. They knew that they could not survive in front of this ferocious beast. “It’s a lizard beast!” Someone called out the beast's name but was sent flying by a sweep of its tail the next second.With several flicks of its tail, none of the hunters remained. The commotion reached Imperial City, and all practitioners noticed the situation. They stared in the direction of Guzo Forest worriedly, feeling afraid. The more powerful the practitioner, the more they cherished their lives, so no one would face this unknown danger easily. Noelle felt the strange vibe too. She was anxious to contact Philip, but they were in two different worlds with no way of communication. Philip had just left and probably would not return for a while. Noelle was anxious, but they could only wait in the store, wondering when Philip would return to take care of things. “Noelle, what should we do?” Custard said wo
Granite could only take care of himself. Noelle calmed everyone down with a few words, and their emotions slowly returned to normal. The store was open as usual, but their sales doubled. “We've increased the quantity of our products. We may face various dangers from now on. Everyone needs more reserves of various pills and weapons, so we should double the quantity.” As a smart person, Noelle knew exactly what to do. Anyone who guessed the situation would visit the store and spend as much as they could. Even if they spent all their fortune, they had to buy something to protect themselves. People from the surrounding cities evacuated with their families and belongings as quickly as they could. Cosmo City was undoubtedly the best place to hide from the beasts. The city was quite big and had good defenses. Their safety could be guaranteed if the city would accept them. If the large cities could not protect them, they could only head to Imperial City, but it was not a place
“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
