“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
This situation had never happened before, and the first elder was dumbfounded. At this moment, Philip patted Neon and Nero on the shoulders, and they spat several bugs from their mouths. The bugs had lost the protection of the water and revealed their true colors. The first elder was dumbfounded to see how easily Philip forced out the bugs he had raised. As their master, he knew how powerful the bugs were. They would burrow deep into a person's body upon entry. It was almost impossible for a practitioner to force them out no matter how powerful they were. However, Philip did it so easily. The first elder could not even imagine how strong Philip was. He was not to be underestimated! The first elder panicked after his plans were ruined one after another. He wondered if he could resist if Philip attacked him. “These bugs should be yours.” Philip grabbed the bugs in disgust. The bugs were struggling to escape Philip’s clutches. The first elder opened his mouth to summon
“First Elder, you don’t have to do this. So what if this guy is powerful? We’ll only suffer a backlash if our bugs are attacked!” the second elder roared in grief. He was shocked that the other party tortured the first elder to that extent. Seeing the other party’s doubts, Philip took out a small sachet from his pocket. It contained a powder that attracted bugs. Philip placed the sachet in a large bowl and sat down, looking at the first elder who was kneeling on the floor. Everyone was curious and wondered what Philip was up to, including Aslan. However, they watched without a word. The first elder was very worried. He knew that whatever this was, it was definitely not a good thing. The second elder and the others quickly showed a look of horror. They realized that their bugs were quickly crawling to the bowl and felt as if they were out of control. The sachet attracted the bugs so much that they had to go to the bowl no matter what. This not only affected the people
“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
