“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
Dustin was not in a good mood right now. He thought he was dead for sure, but Philip and the others spared his life. Although he felt a lingering fear, he was not at all grateful. In Dustin’s opinion, Philip and the others were just worried that killing him would bring repercussions, so they decided at the last minute to let him recover in peace. He was a highly valued existence on this continent, after all. Philip and the others could not afford the consequences if anything were to happen to him. Dustin was already tortured to the brink of death. As he lay on the floor, he felt cold all over. After catching his breath, he used all his strength to engrave a spell on his body. Dustin’s skill was not as simple as giving someone strength. With his ability, it was easy to engrave a spell to heal himself. However, he could not do it smoothly due to a lack of energy. After an hour of careful ministration, Dustin's body glowed with a faint light. Next, he simply had to wait un
“By the way, how is Lyle doing nowadays? Is it true that he’s learning how to forge weapons or formations and the like?” Declan was quite concerned about Lyle. They had made a bet, after all. It would be embarrassing if he lost to Lyle. More importantly, they had the same teacher. It would be a disgrace if he learned less than half of what Lyle did! “Lyle mentioned that he has learned quite a bit, and…” At this point, Poppy glanced at her teacher sheepishly, wondering if she should continue her unspoken words. Declan was curious and said, “Just speak your mind. There's no need to hesitate. I'm not a petty person.” Declan was quite gracious about such things. Although he wanted to win, he would only do it indisputably. Hearing that, Poppy forgot her worries and said, “Grand-teacher said that Lyle is making great progress and can learn many things easily. Learning formations and forging weapons at the same time is nothing to him.” Declan almost freaked out at Poppy’s no
“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
“What's going on? What drug did he take? It’s so powerful!” Jeff exclaimed in horror. All his attacks were ineffective, so what about Hogster’s attacks? At this time, Hogster attacked Jeff. His invincible mode would only last a few minutes. He had to seize the opportunity to take Jeff down. However, Hogster was not worried at all. In his opinion, dealing with Jeff was just a matter of seconds. “Go to hell!” Hogster made his move. He launched a killing move without holding back at all. Jeff was no match for Hogster at all. He was sent flying and fell to the ground miserably. Everyone looked at him with pity. Jeff spat a mouthful of blood and looked at Hogster in horror. Hogster had become so strong that he was no match for him at all. “Hehe, is that all you can take?” Hogster sneered. He was about to kill Jeff when the latter took out a pill from his pocket and swallowed it. It was the same pill he had taken earlier. Sure enough, Jeff was back to normal after taking
“Wow, I feel so good as if I just had a massage.” Jeff praised Philip in his mind. After taking the pill, he recovered instantly. Even the ailments he had been suffering from in the past were healed. He was in such good shape that he could face Hogster with no problem. He even felt that he could resist Hogster’s attack this time. Philip nodded. Jeff was quite good. He had thought that Jeff was already defeated and would not even be able to move. However, Jeff forced himself to take out a pill and swallowed it. “He’s quite good at persevering and has a bright future. You can consider grooming him,” Philip said to Jamie. Jamie was surprised to hear such a high assessment from Philip. Jamie attached great importance to Philip's suggestion. Since Philip said so, he would develop Jeff properly. “Aren’t you very full of yourself? Keep going.” Jeff rushed forward and started beating Hogster up. Hogster was already dying and could not put up a fight at all. “Stop!” Hogste
The Hexa Guild had lost the earlier match, so Hogster was upset about it. Their guild should be undefeatable. They should have made a name for themselves by now, but everything was ruined. Although Hogster did not know why the Celestial Palace was so powerful, he had a feeling that they were cheating. “I’m the pride of the Hexa Guild while you’re just an ordinary member. Don't even think about resisting me,” Hogster said calmly, clearly looking down on Jeff. Of course, Jeff was not to be outdone. “My favorite hobby is to beat someone while they're down. Your guild's reputation is so bad anyway. Why bother holding on to it?” His remark struck the Hexa Guild’s sore spot, and all the members scowled at him. Indeed, the Hexa Guild had a very bad reputation. They could only recruit ordinary people who could not join other guilds but yearned to practice. “Hehe, cut the crap. We’ll know the outcome after a fight!” After saying this, Hogster charged at Jeff with a weapon in han
It would do the Hexa Guild no good to keep Vanna alive, so they would not allow it to happen. Although the members of the Hexa Guild were angry, they quickly cheered up. There would be several matches with the Celestial Palace to go. They could not lose their fighting spirit because of this trivial matter. “Let’s see how powerful the Celestial Palace is. I refuse to believe that we’re no match for them.” Hogster decided to take the stage because the upcoming opponent was just an ordinary member of the Celestial Palace. They were not very strong. In his opinion, an ordinary member could not be very strong. It would be easy to win this match, and it would save him a lot of trouble too. It would be bad if he faced a dark horse like the previous match. The hooded man saw the performance of the Celestial Palace and was surprised by their extraordinary strength. However, he did not notice anything unusual. He simply thought that it was their usual strength. Since they were so str
“This is interesting.” The hooded man glanced at the people discussing this matter and felt expectant. He could not wait to meet Philip. On the other hand, Philip was watching the competition and had no idea what was going on. “Oh, I see, you’re the young lady of the Celestial Palace. I thought you were very powerful, but this is all there is to you.” Vanna’s opponent was an ugly woman who was very upset with her beautiful appearance. Vanna looked at her mockingly. “The outcome has yet to be determined. I don’t think you’re any better either.” After saying this, Vanna looked at the other party, waiting for her to make the first move. The ugly woman was furious at Vanna’s provocation. “Very well. Since you don’t know what’s good for you, let me show you what I’m capable of!” After saying this, she attacked Vanna as if she were ready to get rid of her. She had received an order from the guild leader to deal with Vanna properly. The Hexa Guild had initially planned to qu
