Philip was stunned to see such a beautiful woman. “Sir, please stop!” The flower that turned into a woman sobbed in despair. “If you don’t want to die, tell me everything about yourself,” Philip threatened. He did not have to worry about communicating with the other party, which was great news. “Who are you exactly?” Philip asked solemnly. He did not want to waste too much time on this thing. The woman looked up at Philip resentfully and recounted her story, “I come from a chaotic world. I had been practicing in that world for thousands of years before I finally developed my intelligence and body. But before I had time to get used to this body, I was sucked away by a strange force. “When I first came to this colorful world, I was very curious.” Her words were full of sincerity, and she did not seem like she was lying. Philip knew that she probably did not have any bad intentions. However, she did not understand how her actions affected this continent. Philip was
Everyone was finally safe. Lance and his men returned to Imperial City to resume their duties. They were stuffed to the brim, and their strength had improved by leaps and bounds. Lance saw the emperor and told him all the things he had made up. He and his people had agreed on the same story. Since everyone had a share of that delicious beast meat, they had to do something as repayment. Lance took Philip's actions as his own and took all the credit. Although Lance only met Philip once, he knew that Philip did not care for merit. Since the other party wanted to conceal his identity, Lance had to shoulder this responsibility. However, Lance felt uncertain when describing the incident. Philip was so powerful that Lance was not sure if he could replicate it. However, the emperor did not know what Lance was capable of, so Lance was not afraid of exposing himself. As the youngest and most promising commander, he simply had to play the part. “So, that’s what happened. We took c
Lance angrily rebuked Fernand. He wanted to have a good conversation but lost the desire to speak at the sight of Fernand’s appalling face. He just wanted to curse at him. Fernand scowled at Lance’s outspoken words and arrogant attitude. This brat dared to challenge him! “Such audacity. I think everything’s just a coincidence. You didn’t do anything that great, so stop putting on airs!” The two of them argued in front of the emperor, neither one backing down. “That’s enough. Everyone has worked hard, so let’s put this aside. I’ll compensate you for it.” The emperor could not figure out the situation, but he could not condone this racket either. Thus, he glossed things over and ended the argument. Lance bowed in dissatisfaction and left. He did not have a good impression of Fernand and loathed staying in the same room with him. “Only a loser will shoot his mouth away without the facts,” Lance muttered as he passed by Fernand. Fernand was angry, but he knew that he was no
“Collect the beasts for now. The fur and hide won’t be worth much, but the meat should be tender and delicious, am I right?” the emperor asked curiously. As far as he knew, most beast meat had an average taste. The meat was tough and not something he preferred, so the emperor rarely ate beast meat. However, the emperor had never seen the beasts that attacked them this time, so he was curious and eager to have a taste. “Don’t worry, leave it to me!” Fernand patted his chest, confident that he could handle it. “It doesn’t matter if we can't get any money, but our strength will greatly improve after we eat the meat of a beast,” Fernand said with a smile. He was speaking from his own experience over the years. The emperor was very interested. He summoned his people to gather the edible meat and bring it back to his palace after cutting it into pieces. He did not want others to know about it. Otherwise, everyone would disturb him during mealtimes. Fernand was expectant.As
“Let’s see what an unworthy prime minister can do to me!” Fernand was very confident. He knew that although the prime minister’s position and power were higher than his, after what happened with the recent beast invasion, his status would soar beyond anyone’s imagination. Many people opposed the deportation of refugees, and Fernand took this opportunity to overthrow many loyal officials. Fernand was simply carrying out the emperor’s orders, but he took advantage of this limelight to spread the news about the officials’ actions, including how they disobeyed the royal decree and kept the refugees in captivity at home. He also spread the word about how their private aid and assistance to refugees had greatly affected Fernand’s work of deporting them. In a nutshell, he made the issue more serious than it was. The emperor could not accept anyone disobeying his orders. No ruler in the world could tolerate this, so even though the officials were loyal, they were ostracized. The
When Alton returned to the room, Jeff had been waiting for him. Seeing Alton, Jeff stood up respectfully and greeted him. As the mayor, Alton was full of arrogance. He looked at Jeff in disdain and said unhappily, “I didn’t expect to see you. Just speak your mind and stop wasting my time.” He wanted to take this opportunity to get something from the Cod family. Now that the Cod family had taken root in Cosmo City, it would not be that easy for them to leave. He would not let them leave without giving him anything in return. “The Cod family is in a critical situation right now, so I’d like to seek your help,” Jeff pretended to plead with Alton. Jeff seemed very anxious about getting Alton to save the Cod family, but in fact, he was very calm and even thinking of taking a nap. Since he bought the storage ring from Philip, he had been full of confidence. Every time he passed Treasure House, he would bow in worship. Jeff knew that Philip was not afraid of the Cod family or
Although Philip mentioned before that he would auction some things, it never happened, so everyone gradually lost interest. Now that the door was open, Jeff did not make a commotion but ran over and looked inside expectantly. He saw Aslan busy at work and Philip instructing him. Although Jeff did not recognize Aslan, he knew Philip! “Shopkeeper, are you open for business? I’ve been waiting for ages!” Jeff said excitedly. Philip recognized this man who had bought a storage ring previously. He observed Jeff and found that his demeanor had changed. This guy looked very dejected when Philip first met him, but he was in high spirits now. More importantly, Jeff’s luck seemed different. “It’s been a while. You look a lot better,” Philip said in delight. He could tell that Jeff was a nice person. “Yeah, it’s been a while. I’m doing very well now. Are you open for business? Can I buy something?” Jeff could not put the storage ring out of his mind. The ring had helped him a lot
In summary, all the missing money was Vance’s fault, and Jeff, the real perpetrator, had nothing to do with it. “Your son is so smart that he squandered all the family’s money!” “Tell us how you spent the money! How did you spend so much money in two weeks?” “If you refuse to tell us, we’ll kick you out!” The Cod family members shouted angrily, certain that Vance was the thief. Vance was about to curse these unreasonable people when he recalled that his bodyguards were no longer around. To save money, they fired all the bodyguards. He had to think twice before doing anything now. He and his mother were two people against more than a dozen on the opposite side. The other party looked aggressive and ready to kill. After much deliberation, Vance had no choice but to contain his anger. “You guys are so annoying!” Vance grumbled under his breath, not daring to speak out loud. He knew that he would be dead if he offended them. “I spent the money to buy things from Philip!”
“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
