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
The villagers complained, resenting Julie very much. Julie and her family members stood aside in embarrassment, shocked by Philip’s actions. Everyone’s lives were in his hands now. It would be over if he did anything. Abell scowled as he looked at his mother, at a loss for words. It was clearly his mother’s fault, but the whole village had to pay for it. “I did just want to take Julie away, but your first elder tried to sneak attack us. It’s not our fault that things reached this point,” Philip said regretfully as if he was surprised by this progress too. “We said right from the start that we were here for Julie. If you hadn’t done anything, maybe we would've left already.” After saying this, Philip shrugged helplessly and grabbed a handful of bugs from the bowl. Seeing this scene, everyone wailed and begged Philip to spare them. Some people rushed over and grabbed Julie, who was already half-dead at this point. They tied her up and threw her in front of Philip. “This
Maybe the villagers were used to this shabby environment, so they thought nothing of it, but not Philip and the others. People who were used to living in big cities would never accept such inferior living conditions. “Philip, that stalker is still on our tail. I’m surprised he followed us all the way so persistently,” Aslan said. They had increased their pace but could not get rid of Abell. After all, they were dragged down by Julie. “If he doesn't do anything, just ignore him. Let’s have some fun in South City,” Philip replied. They still had to return to Imperial City and hand Julie over to Mr. Bell Senior. Now that most of Julie's bugs had been destroyed, she was on the verge of dying. All the poisonous bugs that were harmful to humans had also been mutilated and could no longer pose a threat. Neon and Nero were interested in exploring this new place. “Philip, we have to trouble you to set up a barrier around this place so that we can go out without worries,” Neon
After struggling for half an hour, Abell finally gave up and sat on the floor miserably. Julie sobbed at this scene. After wandering around for a while, Philip and the others returned to the inn loaded with armfuls of shopping bags. As soon as they entered, they saw Abell passed out on the floor from exhaustion. Abell looked very pitiful as if he had done something earlier and exhausted all his energy. Julie leaned on the side at a loss. Philip smiled and shook his head. “Your son is right outside. Why don’t you go to him?” Philip said mockingly. Julie looked up at Philip upon hearing that. Although the man in front of her looked very young, he could not be underestimated. “Who are you? How did you restrain us?” Julie was baffled. The man in front of her seemed to possess some mysterious magical power that could totally curb their village’s power. Philip ignored Julie but took Abell into the room. Julie realized that the barrier had been lifted then. She had to
Philip sighed when he heard the comments. He never thought that these snake women would be so cruel and ruthless to attack humans. Their practice technique was definitely not ordinary, most probably an evil technique. “Get ready to escape. This is East Hill Island. There should be some bamboo rafts at the door. If you help each other, I’m sure you can escape successfully.” Philip pointed them in a direction and asked them to leave on their own. After all, they had been captured without their knowing, so it was understandable that they did not know their whereabouts. Everyone was surprised to hear that they were on East Hill Island. “What? We’re actually on this mysterious island.” “Everyone says that East Hill Island is full of treasures. Since we're here, maybe…” Some people were not seriously injured, so they were eager to explore. Others were very scared and refused to stay on the island any longer. They quickly formed a team and fled. Philip ignored them and walked to
Philip grinned broadly. “I have no use for so many subordinates. Since you don’t mind paying, let’s discuss the price.” Everyone looked at Philip with disdain. “Hehe, buddy, stop bragging. This isn’t an easy problem to solve.” Someone twisted his head and pointed in one direction. A big pile of bones in the corner presented a scary sight. These people had just been killed earlier. “We saw that when they brought us here. With so many skeletons around, that old witch must've killed many people.” “That woman is terrifying. We have to watch out.” Everyone tried to persuade Philip. Many of them had accepted their fate. Although they knew that death was inevitable, they wanted to have fun while they were still alive. Philip shook his head helplessly. “Do you think this rope can do anything to me?” Philip exerted some force, and the rope tore apart in an instant. Everyone looked at this scene in disbelief, shocked to see Philip tearing the rope so easily. “Why is your energy
“I remember passing out during a fight and waking up here.” “My experience was different. I had some fun before I was caught. That woman was very beautiful.” Everyone shared their stories. Philip overheard the conversations and realized what was going on. “So, all of you have been deceived by women. That’s interesting.” A fat man seemed very interested in this topic and spoke excitedly. “Why is my experience different from you guys? I was very unlucky. A big and strong woman knocked me out and brought me here. This is really too much. Is it discrimination?” Philip laughed when he heard the various interesting stories. “Buddy, why are you laughing so happily? Were you captured and brought here by force too?” Philip shook his head. “Your experiences are really interesting. They didn’t capture me. I turned up at their doorstep.” Hearing that, everyone looked at Philip in disbelief, wondering if he was nuts. “You must be crazy to walk into the trap of your own accor
“Why would such a masculine man act like a sneak? This is mind-boggling.” The matriarch seemed regretful. She thought of keeping Philip, but he was too disgusting. “It’s mind-boggling for certain people, but you’re not a human at all. What puzzles you? You’re just a monster beast. Your brain works differently from humans. Therefore, our thoughts don’t operate on the same level. If anything puzzles you, I don’t think I can clarify your doubts either.” Philip scoffed in disdain, not taking the other party seriously at all. The snake matriarch almost passed out in anger. She glared at Philip, wishing she could rip him apart. “Very well. Since you've angered me, there’s no need for you to live. Tie him up and take care of him properly.” For such an important person as Philip, the snake matriarch had to enjoy every single bit of him. “Hehe, you’re quite interesting to mess with our matriarch this way. I’ve never met such a fearless guy in my life. In that case, I’ll clean you up
“I know! Some women will approach the victims and use some underhanded means to take them away, right?” Yule smacked his thigh as if he recalled something, clearly angry and upset over this realization. Foxy nodded. Everyone looked at Yule in realization, surprised to hear that he had fallen for it before. “Don’t look at me like that. I know this because someone approached me before, but I didn’t fall for it because I’m a gentleman.” Yule was right. The other party did not fool him because of his upright nature. Otherwise, he would've ended up as one of the devoured victims too. Everyone frowned after hearing Foxy's and Yule’s explanations. “I never thought there would be something like this.” “In that case, we let them off easy. I think we should kill all of them.” “An eye for an eye. Since they're so shameless, we should teach them a lesson.” Everyone cursed unhappily. Aslan sighed at their disgust. After cleaning up the battlefield, they took a break while wait
“They killed Violet right before my eyes. This is too much. I have to avenge Violet! I’m going to rip them into pieces!” The snake women cursed as they retreated, but their fear was apparent. They never thought they would encounter such strong enemies. However, Lyle and the others did not relent. It was easy to take care of these creatures with their strength. Thus, they did not let the snake women escape. “Stop them from running away. Let’s show them how powerful we are.” Lyle waved his hand, and his men caught the snake women who tried to run. “Cut off their tails as a gift for their matriarch,” Aslan said leisurely with a wave of his hand. An eye for an eye, that was the law of the jungle. They brought this upon themselves, so no one sympathized with them. Even Foxy was indifferent to the development of things. “We must teach them a lesson. They're up to no good. I've heard of their evil deeds before,” Foxy added fuel to the fire. Everyone looked over curiously, wo
The upper bodies of the snake were human while their lower bodies were a snake's tail, which looked very strange and out of place. “The monster that took Philip away was quite pretty, so why are these monsters so ugly?” As a person who placed importance on appearance, Lyle complained in annoyance at this unfair treatment. The snake women understood human language and scowled at Lyle's words, shocked by the insult. “Stupid human, you’re really bold to humiliate us like this. Are you not afraid of death?”The snake women were very unhappy and rushed toward Lyle angrily, upset with his arrogance. Lyle and the others sprang into action excitedly. It was interesting to see everyone fighting without hesitation. “Brothers, since we've provided you with weapons, do your best and don’t let us down.” With Lyle and Aslan's motivation, everyone started fighting excitedly. With their strength, it was easy to take care of some snakes. However, the snake women were a force to be reckon
Philip looked at the snake monster curiously. This creature was clearly not a thousand years old. According to rumors, the ancient monster that lived in the palace was at least ten thousand years old. “I attacked you because I'm interested in you. Did you think I was just making things difficult for you? The person behind me wants to see you. Why don't you come with me?” The female snake commander was expectant. She hoped Philip would agree without thinking and save her the trouble. Philip was clearly the strongest among them. As long as he was taken away, the other weaklings would have no choice but to kneel and beg for mercy. “I knew there was someone behind you.” Philip smiled. Since the other party had made preparations, he would oblige. Yule was worried. He did not want Philip to leave with the other party. It was a big risk. “Philip, don’t go. This place is full of dangers. If you go with them, these monsters will devour you in no time. Everyone knows how scary thes
Although the matriarch did not have a good impression of humans, she longed to visit that crowded and lively place. “I’ll lure them over and get rid of them one by one. It’ll be a piece of cake,” a female commander in armor stepped forward and said smugly. It would be easy to quickly get rid of these useless guys with their strength. Meanwhile, Philip and the others were hurrying along the way, feeling all the more that something was wrong. “We seem to be trapped in a maze.” Philip frowned as he looked around, realizing the problem. They had been running around in circles with no way of getting out. “Hehe, you guys are quite smart to figure out that you’ve been trapped in a maze. In that case, why don’t you offer someone as a sacrifice so that you can leave this scary maze?” As Philip and the others were discussing the predicament, a terrifying voice rang out. Everyone was horrified upon hearing this ghastly voice and looked around in a panic, wondering what was going on.
