Was Dustin a pervert? Manta had arrived before Philip could dwell on it. The Spada Guild was not far away, and Manta made haste, so he quickly arrived at Dustin's home. “You’re so quick to get hold of Philip.” Manta was impressed by Dustin. Although Dustin was not very strong, he was pretty efficient at doing things. “Of course, I'm very interested in his secret!” Manta ignored Dustin’s bragging but stepped forward and took off the black cloth from Philip's head. Philip slowly woke up and solemnly stared at the man in front of him. “Hello, we meet again.” Manta looked down at Philip condescendingly with the expression of a victor. He was somewhat dissatisfied with Philip. Philip’s handsome appearance was enough to make him angry. Combined with his powerful ability to turn ordinary weapons into spiritual weapons, Manta was even more upset. “Hmph, I don’t want to see you at all,” Philip said unhappily. Suddenly, Manta’s communication token rang. Manta warily stepped a
Manta nodded. This woman was Ira Dion, the holy maiden of the guild. Ira’s status was so special that even Manta had to please her. In fact, they were not siblings. Manta simply made use of his nice reputation to trick Ira into seeing him as an older brother. Manta believed that he could win the heart of the holy maiden one day. When he returned to the guild earlier, he told Ira about his discovery. Ira was very interested in this topic and kept asking Manta about it. Manta wanted to show off his abilities, so he invited Ira. He believed that he could win Ira’s heart soon. It would be a legend if the most powerful senior apprentice and the holy maiden of the guild got together. Manta was very smug at the thought of it. “This person is the key to unlocking the secret. We’ll gain a lot if we can make him talk.” Manta pointed at Philip smugly with a trace of murderous intent in his eyes. He would rip Philip into pieces if he refused to talk. “You’d better tell us your
Manta killed the butcher for no reason. Philip could not let it go. Although Philip had killed before, he mostly targeted bad people, never killing indiscriminately. He would never do anything to an innocent butcher. Manta was taken aback by Philip’s sudden remark. He glanced at Ira in a panic, fearing that she would pursue this matter. Now that Ira had been mesmerized by Philip, she was interested in this topic too. In Ira’s opinion, Manta was an upright person. If Manta did anything bad, his good image would take a hit. “What are you talking about? What butcher at the city gates? I have no idea what you’re talking about. You must be out of your mind!” Manta huffed. Dustin had no idea what they were talking about, and he did not sense the change in Manta’s mood. Dustin said, “I know about it. So what if a butcher was killed? Manta is the most powerful senior apprentice of the Spada Guild. What’s wrong with killing someone? With his status, even if he massacres the whol
“I never knew that you were such a person, Manta. I was wrong about you!” Ira sighed helplessly. Ira walked up to Philip and untied him. “Don't worry, I’ll let you go if you tell the truth.” Ira seemed like a gentle and easygoing person. Philip was confused by her actions and wondered why someone from the Spada Guild would be so kind. Members of the Spada Guild should be a bunch of scumbags, but Ira was different. “Don't worry, I won’t let anyone bully you.” Ira looked at Philip lovingly, with admiration and affection in her eyes. Manta saw this scene from behind them and almost exploded with anger. After so many years of planning, he finally got closer to Ira and was regarded as her brother. However, their relationship turned sour with just a few words from Philip. Moreover, it seemed that Ira had fallen in love with Philip and treated him very well. Dustin looked at Philip, jealous of his good luck with women. Although Dustin was very old, it did not stop him from
“Besides, Manta found someone to kidnap me. Don’t you think I should be compensated for my mental trauma?” Manta felt very frustrated when Philip mentioned his name again. He was very angry at himself for inviting Ira over. “Don’t worry, I’ll give you a reasonable explanation if you agree to trade with us. Our guild has discovered a secret realm recently. If you agree to the deal, we can give you access to the secret realm,” Ira said gently. This was a big transaction for Ira. Manta was upset upon hearing it. “No way, how could you give this person access to the secret realm? If he finds anything inside…” Manta smacked the table, tossing all his gentlemanly persona out the window. No one could bear this. The woman he loved had been stolen under his nose, and this woman gave another man a good opportunity. Manta was heartbroken and wished he could cut Philip into pieces. “So what if he finds an opportunity? He deserves it! On the other hand, we'd receive some benefits
Philip smiled brightly, his threat obvious. “I need to discuss this in detail! This is my communication token. I’ll contact you when I have the results.” Ira did not reject Philip outright but handed her communication token to Philip. Seeing Ira's actions, Manta was worried that Ira would agree to Philip. “Okay, I shall take my leave. Do contact me if anything crops up. Don’t worry, I’ll keep my word. You can look for me in my living quarters too.” After saying that, Philip opened the door and marched away. Dustin was furious at this scene. He knew that he had no right to speak, but that did not stop him from being angry with Philip. “Damn it, that guy really has his nose up in the air. Are we just going to let him leave? I went to great lengths to get him here!” Dustin felt very frustrated as Philip disappeared from his sight. He could not wait to capture Philip, interrogate him properly, and force Philip to hand over all his secrets. However, he could not do anythin
After saying that, Manta headed back to the guild. He wanted to try to get Dustin a spot. One outsider or several outsiders made no difference anyway. Ira quickly returned to the guild and told the guild leader the whole story. However, Ira chose not to paint a bad picture of Manta. “In a nutshell, that’s what happened. The other party wants Manta to apologize before he’ll agree to cooperate with us!” Ira sighed helplessly. Although it would tarnish the guild’s reputation to some extent, it was the only way out. “Since the other party has made the request, let’s go with it. Remember not to offend the other party,” the guild leader said. Apologizing was no big deal to Manta. After all, no one was a saint. No one could make zero mistakes. They could receive a good response if they handled it well. The matter was decided, and the guild leader asked Manta to apologize. No matter what, it could not affect the guild. Manta learned about it, and his mood became very bad. H
Manta was thinking of a way to kill Philip. The guild was full of plotting against each other. Although his status was very high, it was impossible for him to seize power. The only way was to stay in the guild, eke out a living, and find an opportunity to seize power. That was why Manta did not dare to offend the guild leader. At least for now, he had a good image in front of the guild leader, and he was being groomed as a successor. It would be a huge loss for him if anything went wrong because of Philip. More importantly, once he became the heir of the guild, he would have every right to be with Ira, the holy maiden. Ira had remained pure and innocent over the years, and Manta had the most contact with her. Manta practically watched Ira grow up and knew that she was pure. Someone like this would be of great help to his practice. He never thought that Philip would catch Ira’s eye. Although he had no evidence, he guessed Ira must have ideas about Philip. Manta would never
“You must be referring to the lark people. What do you want with them? They're not to be trifled with. You’ll be in trouble if you mess with them.” Everyone was delighted to hear about the lark people. It was great that someone knew something. Adam was very excited to find a clue as soon as they arrived. He had thought it would take a lot of effort to find something, but reality proved otherwise. “The lark people can be regarded as the overlords here. You can find out about them easily. I'm just an ordinary old woman, so I can't tell you too much. You should approach other people if you want to find out more. Maybe you can find a storyteller. I’m sure they can tell you some very important information.” The old lady was clearly unwilling to disclose anything, so everyone was disappointed. In that case, they could not force her. “Thank you very much. At least you gave us an inkling about what to do. We wouldn’t know so many things if it weren't for you.” Adam thanked the old
“I heard that her family is quite complicated. They seem quite troublesome.” Hearing that, everyone wondered what Adam meant. It seemed that he would face problems in pursuing a relationship with this woman. Carlos looked at Adam awkwardly and sighed. “It doesn't matter. We don’t have to worry about that. Let's just take things one step at a time.” Rabbit calmly drifted around with Philip, feeling quite good. “What's there to worry about? I say the old monk has nothing better to do than worry about trivial matters. It’d be embarrassing if so many of us couldn’t bring a woman back.” Until now, Rabbit felt that the other party was just an ordinary woman, so he did not think that there was anything to worry about. They quickly joined the line to enter the city. To Philip's surprise, there was no entrance fee at all. Moreover, their appearance and attire looked no different from the others. Philip and his friends calmly entered the place, and Philip stood on guard. He had a
Philip felt helpless at the sight of this vast starry sky and suddenly felt that maybe coming here was not the right choice. They arrived without knowing anything about this place, so they might encounter various dangers. “I’m curious about the woman you've been looking for. She must be quite extraordinary,” Philip said curiously, baffled about this matter. Hearing that, Adam shook his head helplessly. He was really clueless about everything. “I only know that I can come here and find her with the key. I don’t even know where she is. We can only search aimlessly in this starry sky.” Philip was dumbfounded by Adam’s incompetence. “I thought we’d be teleported to her home or a fixed location, so I don’t know what’s the deal with this. I have a feeling that I’ve been tricked.” Adam sighed helplessly. “Let's just wander around. I’m sure we can find something somehow,” Carlos comforted Adam, but he was not optimistic about it either. He knew that they probably could not find the
Adam had to reevaluate Philip’s strength. He used to think that Philip was simply the best of his generation. Although powerful, he was not invincible. However, the ability to change certain orders and rules was not something that just anyone had. It would not be far-fetched to call Philip the chosen one favored by the heavens. Philip told Carlos to bury Bryce before forgetting about him. Carlos quickly handled his affairs, packed his bags, and got ready to set off with Philip. Adam also waited for Philip without much luggage on hand. Philip stuffed Rabbit into the Verge Tower space. He had to bring Rabbit along with him or the latter would be up to no good. “Rabbit, stay in Verge Tower and stop bothering me.” Rabbit was upset to hear that he had to stay in Verge Tower but still felt happy that Philip was willing to take him along. “Next, the two of you need to relax. I’ll wrap you with my energy. Don't try to resist or you’ll only end up hurting yourself,” Philip said.
“I have other important things to do. Don't worry. I’ll be back soon, so make sure you work hard during this time. I’ve given you all the pills you need. Whether you can make full use of them depends on you.” In Philip’s opinion, the Hexa Guild could not do anything anymore, so there was no worry about them. After much deliberation, Jamie nodded. Philip did not belong to his guild, so he could hardly stop Philip from leaving. Moreover, Philip’s pill supply was already a great help to them. It would be annoying if Jamie asked for more. “No problem. Where are you going next? Do you need my help? I’ll do my best to help you.” The Celestial Palace was powerful enough for Jamie to say such things. Philip shook his head. He would be traveling with Adam next, and his strength was incredible. It was best for them to leave together. “It’s okay. I have everything prepared. Just do your best in the competition and don’t allow the Hexa Guild to take the upper hand.” Now that the Cele
“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
