Some of them had women they liked, but these women were often engaged in an unsavory line of work. When they finally had time to see the women they loved but they were taken by other customers, they would get angry and cause trouble. Although Manta was exasperated, he could only put up with it. After all, there was nothing he could do. These people had a special status. He had to please them if he wanted their help to complete some questionable tasks. He quickly shared the details of the mission. Then, Byron took his weapon and left Jewel Hill with a smile. With Manta's token, he could leave Jewel Hill without a hitch. After leaving the mountain, Byron breathed in the fresh air around him. “The air doesn’t seem that good. I think Jewel Hill is better. The land is vast and sparsely populated with outstanding people,” Byron marveled. Manta just glanced at him silently. He did not like such talkative people. “Hurry up and complete the mission. He’s in that room. You can ha
Byron was lucky enough to barge in, so he heard the conversation between the two. His arrival caused a bout of panic. Harris and Lark scuttled around to hide, trying to pretend that the room was empty, but the room was so small that it was futile. Harris scowled at the sight of Byron. “Why are you here?” Harris knew who Byron was, so he was shocked to see Byron out of Jewel Hill. In his position, Harris did not know about the guild's dirty dealings, so he subconsciously thought that Byron had sneaked out. “You’re one weird guy. It’s none of your business why I'm here. But I overheard your earlier conversation. Who's the man you were talking about? I may consider not killing you if I’m happy with your answer,” Byron threatened. He did not have a good impression of Harris, who looked so ugly that Byron was sick to the stomach at the sight of him. Byron was very concerned about beautiful appearances and would usually deal with good-looking people. It would be an insult t
Byron sneered at Lark’s pathetic display. “What a loser. As I said, I won’t kill you.” After saying this, Byron turned and left with his head held high. Byron had always followed the rules and would never kill anyone outside of the mission. Manta gave him two days of freedom just to kill Harris. He would not gain anything by killing Lark. “T-Thank you.” As Byron turned to leave, Lark knelt to Byron as thanks for not killing him. Without further ado, Byron went to Imperial City as quickly as possible. This place was not far from Imperial City. As a member of the Spada Guild, it took him no time to enter the city. Members of major guilds had an exclusive passage to enter the city without queueing up. After entering Imperial City, Byron searched around for traces of Philip. According to Lark's description, he glanced around the street but did not see a handsome man. Byron pondered over Lark’s words. Philip’s clothes were significantly different from the locals, obvious
Manta smiled when he saw the maid taking a hit. “After such a long time, your temper is still as bad as ever. Learning to respect others is more important than anything else.” Manta pulled up a chair and sat next to Dustin while signaling the maid to leave. The maid’s eyes lit up at the sight of the hero saving a damsel in distress. Dustin heard someone speaking and looked up indifferently. The next second, he trembled in fear at the sight of the senior apprentice of the Spada Guild. “Oh, what brings you here? Why didn't you tell me that you were coming so that I could greet you at the door?” Dustin flattered Manta like a lapdog. Although Manta was not skilled in making pills or weapons, he was so strong that he was not to be trifled with. Dustin thought he could forge a good relationship with Manta and see if they could do some business dealings. “I'm here to see you for something important, of course.” Manta's attitude was not very good. He had always looked down on
Dustin solemnly took the cleaver from Manta and observed it in puzzlement. In his opinion, this thing was quite extraordinary. He realized the gravity of the issue when Manta took it out. This cleaver was simply unbelievable! At that moment, he felt the power of a divine artifact. As an engraver, he owned something similar to a divine artifact. However, Manta’s weapon was more powerful than his engraving knife, and Dustin was tempted by it. “This weapon?” Dustin looked at the weapon longingly and stroked it gently as if he were completely mesmerized by it. “Huh? Something’s wrong. Why is the killing intent and powerful strength of this weapon declining?” Dustin said seriously as if he just realized something. He scowled. Manta silently looked at Dustin and observed his expression. He was not afraid that Dustin would steal the weapon from him. After all, Dustin was weaker than him. More importantly, it would be useless even if Dustin got hold of it. The weapon would
If that happened, Manta would be punished no matter how important his position was. Thinking of this, Manta tossed this unrealistic idea out of his mind. In his opinion, Philip was just another loser. “This person must have a powerful engraving technique on hand. He should be the most outstanding engraving expert of our generation!” Dustin was lost in his own world, already regarding this person as his idol. “Do you know who it is?” Manta asked. “I have someone in mind, but that person is already dead.” Dustin wanted to find this person too. Seeing his reaction, Manta wanted to tell him about Philip. Dustin was very curious about this person. If possible, Manta could make use of Dustin to find this person. “Do you know Philip Clarke?” Manta asked abruptly. Dustin was dumbfounded. He stared at Manta, at a loss for words. “Are you on good terms with Philip?” Manta glanced at Dustin warily. Seeing Dustin’s anxiety, Manta relaxed. “No, I have beef with him,” Manta
Manta became expectant with this thought. He would take good care of Philip once it was confirmed that Philip was behind this. He would capture Philip for his own use. After all, few people had this ability. He could forget his grudge if Philip could do this. He did not go against Philip before this. In his opinion, he could forge a good relationship with Philip if he treated him nicely. Thinking of this, he felt lucky that he did not mess up back then. His plan was good, but unfortunately, not everything would go as he wished. However, he was not aware of it. He simply wanted to find this person now. Dustin was shocked to learn that Philip had something to do with this. He did not think Philip was behind it. In his opinion, Philip was just lucky. However, he found out some information through the chat with Manta. Philip had attached something to the weapon to make it so powerful. Dustin laughed and said, “I was wondering how Philip could be so powerful. Through my interact
Although Manta was not happy about it, he finally agreed. They had to keep this a secret, after all. They might accomplish it in secret if they kept a low profile. “This is my communication token. Just contact me if anything crops up.” After saying this, Manta left. He really disliked the smell of this place. He left the cleaver that had lost all effects with Dustin. Dustin would never pay any attention to this cleaver under normal circumstances, but he held this one for a long time and treated it like a treasure. The cleaver was not attractive and looked awkward if someone carried it on the street. After Manta left, Dustin picked up the cleaver with emotion. He felt heartbroken over this loss. Philip was a fool for using this precious technique on a cleaver. After much deliberation, Dustin contacted Fernand, who was having a great time playing politics. He had infiltrated the whole office, and everyone had lost their favor in front of the emperor. The emperor only
“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
