Neon and Nero looked at each other, already realizing by now that Philip must have taken action to protect them as they were clueless. “You’re simply ridiculous. You were the one who used some dirty tricks to sneak attack on us first!” Aslan said angrily, shocked that the other party accused them first. “Weren't you trying to torture us with these bugs?” Philip said with a smile, not angry at all. Neon and Nero quickly understood the situation with that remark. The man wanted to use bugs to attack them, so it looked like he was from that village. Their father had been suffering under that vicious attack over the years. They trembled in fear as they recalled their father's pain. They would be doomed if the bugs attacked them. They only hoped Philip could save them. Otherwise, they would have to live in pain for the rest of their life. They scowled at Abell angrily, wishing they could kill him. Abell was the most furious. He realized the disparity in strength between them
“Keep this thing with you, and don’t let your guard down. Remember not to let it leave you at all,” Philip instructed Neon and Nero, afraid they would be careless and overlook many details. Aslan did not require his help. Aslan was very resistant to poisons and would not be affected even if all the bugs crawled over him. Aslan was smart enough to catch the bugs and keep them in a small bottle that he carried with him. He could make use of these bugs to threaten the other party later. These bugs were still alive and posed a big threat to Abell. Abell had no idea that Philip had noticed something as he led them into the village. The path he chose was full of traps. Anyone who walked on this path would trigger the traps and be attacked by bugs. Abell’s friends had left to tip off the news. They had to be careful after experiencing this incident. The elders in the village were resting. They knew that Julie was going to die soon. Although they felt sorry, it was beyond their c
“What were the elders talking about? I didn’t understand a word.” “Yeah, I don’t know either. It sounded like a riddle. What did Aunt Julie do back then?” “Could it be related to Aunt Julie’s stories back then? It seems we finally have a chance to solve the mystery. Come on, let’s go take a look!” No one, men or women, could resist gossip. They ran over curiously to watch the excitement. They knew that the outsiders were quite strong, so they simply wanted to watch the excitement without getting involved. They easily took care of Abell, the strongest among them, not to mention these guys with poor grades. Releasing bugs to sneak attack them was no different than seeking death. “Hello, everyone. Welcome to our village. What brings you here?” The first elder greeted Philip and the others. He trembled when he saw the familiar faces of Neon and Nero. They looked very similar to Abell, especially with Abell standing next to them. It further confirmed the identity of these
“What’s the hurry? I’m surprised to hear that you’re Julie’s son. It seems that we found the right person.” Aslan stopped Abell in time. If Abell had no other identity, Aslan would not care if he left. Now that Abell had revealed that he was Julie's son, Aslan had to stop him. “Get out of my way!” Abell shouted angrily, but Aslan caught him. No matter how hard Abell struggled, it was useless. “Don't forget that your bugs are in my hands. If you leave, I’ll crush your bugs to death. How will you save your mother if you can’t even protect yourself?” Seeing Abell’s obstinance, Aslan took out a small bottle. Abell scowled at the sight of the bottle. He wondered why his bugs had disappeared. He wanted to go back and search for them, but Aslan had captured them. “Okay, you win. I’m no match for you, okay?” Abell returned to the first elder’s side and glared at Aslan, hating these outsiders to the core now. If possible, he wished he could blow himself up and die with them.
No matter what, Julie would not allow that woman to leave offspring for the man she loved. That woman’s kids not only appeared in front of her but also provoked her! Julie saw their mother’s features on the faces of these two people! This was undoubtedly a provocation! “You two wretches!” Julie cursed and spat a mouthful of blood. “You were lucky enough to find someone to remove the secret technique from your bodies, but do you think that’s the end of it? Coming to this village spells the end for you!” Julie laughed as if she had lost her mind. Philip felt helpless at the sight of this crazy woman. He knew that many people went crazy over love, but this was over the top. “That’s enough. Stop laughing your head off. We’re here to find fault with you, not to see you laugh!” Aslan said in annoyance. This woman’s laughter was very unpleasant. Abell stood aside with his teeth gritted and fists clenched. He wished he could kill everyone on the scene. Others gathered around cu
The villagers finally found out the secrets she had been hiding. Abell was surprised to hear this. He had guessed something but never knew the extent of the secret. He never thought that his mother would kill someone else's mother! He loved his mother very much, so he could imagine the pain of losing her. Abell understood Neon and Nero now. This incident was clearly Julie's fault. Their father had offered to accept Julie and promised her various benefits. They could have lived happily ever after. However, Julie not only turned the offer down, but she also killed his first wife. No one could tolerate this behavior. It was common for people in this world to have several wives, so no one thought Julie should be ashamed of it. On the contrary, she should be proud to marry a famous noble in Imperial City. However, Abell could not condone the other party's actions because they wanted to take his mother away from him, so he saw everyone as his enemy. “This matter is between t
Neon and the others marched forward with Philip. They knew that Philip was trying to get more benefits for them. It was difficult to fight these people by force. It would be best if they could negotiate with the first elder to let them take Julie away. The first elder quickly invited Philip to the reception room and ordered someone to serve tea. The tea was freshly brewed in front of everyone to avoid any suspicion. “Here, no need to be polite. Have some tea,” the first elder said with a bright smile. Neon glanced at Philip, doubtful if they should drink the tea. Philip signaled to Aslan with his eyes. Aslan distributed some pills to everyone. Neon and Nero looked at each other after getting a pill each. They knew that this pill could neutralize poison. The two of them swallowed the pill without hesitation and pretended to drink the tea. Philip took a big gulp of tea and seemed quite pleased. He then put the teacup on the table after taking a sip of tea. “What shoul
Nero was very firm about it. He had always disliked this type of negotiation. Nero was not a powerful practitioner but a shrewd businessman. This exchange was clearly unequal. They were here for revenge, not treasures. “Are you saying that this deal is off?” the first elder said unhappily. He was surprised that Nero would choose to disregard him. Although the first elder knew that there was indeed nothing of value in Julie's home and that this deal was somewhat unfair, the other party should not turn down his proposal. “That's right, we won't make this deal with you. Just do whatever you want now,” Neon said viciously. At the same time, he glanced at Philip, trying to gauge his reaction. Philip looked indifferent, seemingly uninterested in this matter. The first elder smacked the table in anger and stood up. He glared at Neon and said, “If you dare to disobey me again, I’ll teach you a good lesson!” The first elder threatened everyone smugly, “Haven't you noticed anythi
