Poppy laughed excitedly at Lyle’s concern. “Don't worry. With my strength, that old man can’t do anything. He can only dream of hurting me.” Philip finally figured out why Poppy was being targeted by now. Poppy’s teacher, Declan Lindell, was Dustin’s elder brother, so Dustin targeted her because of the relationship between Poppy and Declan. “Where’s that old man now? We can’t let him go!” Poppy resented Dustin very much. Her maid would not have been injured to this extent if it were not for Dustin’s request. “Don’t worry, we've captured him. We’ll take him back and hand him over to your teacher.” After saying this, everyone returned to Imperial City happily. Although they had no carriage, they were not slow either. They returned home very soon. Declan was waiting for them. He had a bad premonition since last night. He had a feeling that something was going to happen to his precious apprentice. Amid his worry, he realized someone had entered the house. Mr. Li
Dustin captured Poppy to threaten Declan because Dustin was out for revenge. Although Dustin had disappeared over the years, his forces were still active. These people did not cause trouble for Poppy previously, so she could live in peace. Now that Dustin was back, the first thing he did was to go after Poppy, which was too much. “After so many years, you’re still as stubborn as ever. I’m very disappointed.” Declan sighed. He no longer wanted to waste his breath on Dustin. He would not interfere even if Dustin died here today. “Haha, kill me if you can. Let me remind you that I’m the most powerful engraver in the world. If you kill me, the royal family will definitely hold you accountable!” Dustin was very confident in his identity. The royal family would never let him die for no reason. “You really underestimate me.” Declan smiled helplessly. He did not have to rely on the royal family to survive now. He could have established his own force as a top-notch alchemist
“What do I have to do for you to let me go?” Dustin glanced at Philip gravely. He knew that Philip had the final say among them. He would be safe once Philip promised not to kill him. Philip shrugged and said, “Don't look at me. I'm just responsible for catching you. They have to take revenge themselves.” After saying that, Philip minded his own business. He had no time to waste on this person. While they bickered, a young man appeared on the streets of Imperial City. He looked troubled as if he had encountered a difficult problem. “What should I do?” he muttered as he walked and unwittingly arrived at Philip’s doorstep. He looked around in confusion, wondering how he got there. “This is weird. How did I get here?” This strange house did not have any signage, so he had no idea which wealthy family lived here. More importantly, this place was very big, not something normal people could afford. The young man was puzzled and knocked on the door gently. Someone soon
It was normal for the young man to thank him. Philip merely smiled at him without a move. He was not trying to be full of himself but simply found the young man interesting. “I’m surprised to see you again. This is wonderful. May I have a chat with you?” The young man felt as if he had found hope and stared at Philip excitedly. He longed to have a good chat with Philip. Philip did not turn him down. Obviously, the young man must have encountered a problem or he would not be walking around Imperial City with such a worried look on his face. Luck brought him to Philip’s doorstep. “Come in and have a seat.” Philip brought the young man to the garden where everyone was judging Dustin. Philip walked over without averting his gaze. The young man followed Philip and saw Dustin kneeling on the ground miserably when he passed through the garden. He was surprised to see Dustin here. As an official, he recognized Dustin's identity. It was simply unheard of for a high and mighty pe
Lance could not figure out why Dustin would reappear after he went missing for so many years and looked so old. He would not have recognized Dustin if not for his good memory and repeatedly confirming his identity. Soon, Lance followed Philip into the garden and sat down. Philip poured him a cup of tea and invited him to take a sip. “Are you curious about Dustin?” Philip said with a smile, full of expectation. He thought Lance was quite interesting. Lance awkwardly took a sip of tea. “I’d be lying if I said I’m not curious. After disappearing for such a long time, Dustin appeared in your house in such a miserable state. Of course, I’m curious.” Lance took another sip of tea. Seeing his reaction, Philip knew that Lance was a kind person. At this time, Lance could hardly think of anything else. He felt as if he was about to freak out! Lance was surprised to find that the tea he drank would contain so much energy. He was reluctant to put down his teacup and took one
Philip spoke openly, and Lance nodded. Lance had this idea in mind. After all, the culprit was that awful guy from the Larson family. The problem would be half-solved once he got rid of that guy. “If possible, I would've killed him already, but I can't help feeling that something is off about him recently. His practice level skyrocketed even though he’s a civil servant, and I heard that his household staff have mysteriously disappeared!” Since he had the idea of killing Fernand, Lance had been paying attention to Fernand’s movements. Through his observation, he discovered many anomalies. Fernand's recent behavior had been very strange. Wherever he went, he wore a black robe that covered him from head to toe as if to hide his ugly appearance. “The black robe he's been wearing recently looks very scary. For some reason, I have a feeling that I can only see a skeleton underneath the black robe. Although he’s ugly, he has always been confident. I’ve never seen him wearing a b
Lance thought excitedly as he walked, wishing he could defeat Fernand at once. Although he was unhappy with the emperor, he was not doing this for the emperor or the royal family but for the whole Imperial City and citizens of the Guzo Continent. Once the emperor made a bad decision, the whole Guzo Continent would suffer. Fernand started from being an unknown civil servant to someone holding great power now, and his wild ambitions were apparent for all to see. After sending Lance off, everyone gathered around curiously to find out what happened. “Philip, was that the young man we helped in Guzo Forest back then? Why was he here all of a sudden? From the looks of it, he seems to have received something from you,” Aslan said curiously. He had a good impression of Lance. Philip told everyone about the issue without concealing it. Everyone was surprised to hear Fernand’s wild ambitions. Declan was not very clear about official affairs. He devoted himself to practice and f
When Lance turned up at his doorstep, Tory was confused and wondered why he was there. Although he knew that Lance was not very popular in front of the emperor recently, his name still carried some weight. Tory felt uncomfortable to see him at the door. “May I help you, junior commander? Has the emperor taken some new measures?” Tory asked solemnly. The emperor changed his mind so frequently recently that it was totally unlike him. Lance smiled at his solemn expression and took out a token from his pocket. Tory was shocked to see that token. “Oh, it’s that!” Tory took the token and infused some energy into it. Philip’s silhouette appeared. After confirming the authenticity of the token, Tory was very excited. He did not expect Philip to arrange for someone to get in touch with him so quickly. “Hello, my name is Tory Jobb. I’m very happy to work with you to execute our upcoming big plan,” Tory introduced himself with a smile. He knew that they would be the closest
“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
