Although Neon was from a big family and had an immature mentality due to his pampered upbringing, he was ruthless and decisive. It would be a big mistake to think that it would be easy to fool him because he was young and naïve. The fat man was stunned to hear Declan's identity. “How is it possible? The top alchemist has gone missing. Why did this old man suddenly appear?” The fat man scowled. It would be over if it was the truth. “Cut the crap and catch hold of him. I want to teach him a good lesson!” Neon said fiercely. Nero pinned the fat man to the floor furiously. Philip sighed and turned his attention to the old man. After his treatment, the old man returned to normal and purged all the dirty blood in him. The floor was covered in black blood and dead bugs, a ghastly sight. The old man slowly woke up. He glanced around weakly, looking for his family members. Neon ran over and looked at him with great concern. “Dad, you’re finally awake!” Neon said excitedly.
The man was flabbergasted that his secret had been exposed. “If you don’t tell the truth, your family may be affected in the future. If I’m not mistaken, your family members have been impacted to a certain extent,” Philip said calmly. He had seen through everything. Philip knew quite a lot about this legendary secret technique. Neon and Nero looked at their father, who did not look too good. The two of them said in unison, “Dad, you should tell us or we may be implicated. Besides, it sounds like someone is out to get you. I guess that person won't let you go.” They were very concerned about their father's health. He probably would not be able to withstand it if the other party attacked him again. Everyone scowled at the thought of this. Philip sighed. He could not do anything if the old man refused to say it. The man struggled for a long time and finally decided. “Back then, I went to the South Cloud Region, also known as South City.” Philip sat on a stool and prepared
“You got that right. I was wondering why Mom passed away for no reason when she was in good health!” Nero was upset too. He never dreamed that his father’s old sweetheart would harm his mother to that extent. Philip pointed at Neon. “You were facing the same situation, but your reaction wasn't that obvious because you’re still young. You would've probably found your health failing in a few years,” Philip said calmly. Neon grimaced and wished he could kill that woman! No wonder his body was never fully developed. This was the reason! At this time, Nero looked at Philip nervously, wondering if he was affected too. Philip seemed quite good at this, so he wanted to ask Philip to examine him. “Excuse me, sir, can you examine me too?” Nero looked at Philip eagerly, hoping that Philip could solve his problem. Philip scrutinized Nero and found something, indeed. “Have you been feeling weak recently, always feel uncomfortable as if bugs are crawling all over your body? “Do
Nero rushed to Philip and begged Philip to save him. “Philip, it’d be great if you could help me!” Nero looked at Philip expectantly, ready to give Philip all his fortune. “I can give you all my money. Please save me!” Nero said humbly. Philip was not used to such humbleness. “No problem. You just need to buy a pill to save your life. Your problems are not such a big deal. Here you go.” Philip handed a pill to Nero. The pill was sold in his store, so Philip did not think highly of it. Nero was moved by Philip’s words. He took the pill from Philip and swallowed it in one gulp. He respected Philip very much. Philip smiled in satisfaction as Nero took the pill. Neon and the old man stared at Nero curiously, waiting to see what would happen. After Nero took the pill, he was shocked to find some changes happening in his body. The sensation of crawling bugs disappeared, and his limbs became very warm and comfortable. “I feel like I'm back to normal,” Nero said in surprise
Nero and Neon looked at each other, shocked to hear that their father was prepared to kill for them. At the same time, they realized something. “Dad, if she’s that powerful, can we even put up a fight?” Neon asked nervously. Their family members had been suffering for a while, so none of them were very strong. They might have to hire outside help for this. “We need to find some powerful hunters to help us. We can form a large force and go to South City to hunt her down!” Nero was very pissed with the other party for harming him for no reason. Who could bear it? The conflict was between the older generation, nothing to do with them at all. Now that things had progressed this way, he was unwilling to show mercy. “That’s right. Since this woman wants to harm us, we have no reason to hold back. We should let her family members have a taste of their own medicine!” Everyone was eager to take action and vent their frustration. “Buddy, why don’t you help us?” Neon turned his
Aslan was sitting on a stool looking at the scenery, nearly bored out of his mind. Practice was not important to him at all. With his ability, he could improve his strength even if he did not practice, so he simply slept or daydreamed his day away. Aslan smiled brightly to see Philip returning in high spirits. “Hey, Philip, why do you look so excited? Any good news for me?” Aslan greeted him affectionately. Philip nodded. “Declan, I’ll give you a different pill-making method now. I want you to stay here and guide the kids in learning this new method. Learning it as soon as possible will be very beneficial to you,” Philip said with a smile, taping Declan on the head. The next moment, Declan felt as if he had an epiphany and understood many things. “That’s great! I can finally teach Lyle again.” Declan was in a good mood and ran back to his room as if he had regained his youth. The technique Philip taught him could help rejuvenate him. The more he practiced it, the yo
It would be fine if they knew these beasts, but no one recognized them and had no idea where they came from, which was worrying. “Don't panic, everyone. We prepared these beasts as mounts for everyone. The journey will be very slow without them,” Aslan said with smug disdain. These guys were so ignorant. Although Philip had found these beasts from other places, it was embarrassing to see everyone’s reactions to the beasts. Everyone was dumbfounded to hear that the beasts were meant as mounts for them. “Are you sure they can be used as mounts? I feel like they'll eat me alive in one bite!” “Are these the legendary ancient beasts? Why have I never seen them before? I never thought that I’d see one in my lifetime!” Everyone was at a loss because they had never seen these beasts before and could not even name them. They were experienced hunters, but no one knew it. Everyone was flustered and wondered if they should get in the carriage. Neon glanced at Philip. Although h
Everyone realized that the beasts were gone after hearing the wise man’s prompt. This speed was simply daunting. The people who did not get on the carriage regretted it. They finally received a big mission but were disqualified because they did not dare to get on the carriage. It was too late for regrets. The beasts had left. It was impossible for them to reach South City quickly at their speed. These people could only lament in the direction the beasts left. Neon and the others felt the world spinning when they got on the carriage. They finally adapted to it after a while. Right then, Philip knocked on the door. “We’re here. You can come down now,” Philip said. Neon was taken aback and glanced at his brother in confusion. Both of them were still dizzy. Their practice level was quite low, so they did not feel very good at this moment. The stronger people were not so badly affected. They simply felt dizzy, and a moment later, they arrived in South City. This speed was
