Everyone respectfully called the old man Twine, who was a great contributor to Solstice City. Solstice City was so orderly because they established the rules. These old men were powerful and righteous, so they set various rules. Without them, the rules would not have been enforced, and the residents would not have been able to live and work in peace. Twine Barr examined himself and found something amazing. “This is wonderful. I've returned to normal. Even my old injuries are gone!” Although he was always a serious person, he was shouting in excitement now. After so many years, he regarded himself as a walking corpse and waited to die in bed. He never thought that he would return to normal one day, and he even felt well enough to fight again. “I've returned to my peak condition when I was young. I have nothing to fear even if I have to fight for three days and three nights! I think I can continue to practice too!” Twine smacked his thigh with pride and excitement.
“When I was bedridden back then, I vowed that I’d try to achieve the next level once I could continue practicing again. Now that I’ve recovered and restored my ability to practice again, I can't miss such a good opportunity!” Thinking of this, Twine turned to Monty. “Where did you get that pill from? Who's the talented genius who made the pill?” Twine was in a frenzy and could not wait to meet this amazing genius. “Someone with that ability must be about the same age as us. We can have a good chat over some good food and wine.” Twine asked his maids to make preparations. He was not short of good food and wine. Monty sighed helplessly. Twine was very impatient and did not give him the chance to say anything at all. “Don’t be hasty. Let me tell you about the situation first.” Monty told the group about Philip, which surprised them. His age alone was baffling enough. It was shocking to hear that he was a young man in his 20s. Everyone thought Monty was joking, including Tw
“What's going on? What time is it? Why is the store closed so early? This unprofessionalism is outrageous!” “That's right. Old men like us came all the way to buy some pills to try, but they're closed for the day. Are they serious about doing business?” They had weathered a fair bit of storm, so everyone treated them with respect. They had come in person but were greeted with closed doors, so they were not happy about it. More importantly, they thought they had finally found a cure for their old ailments. However, since they could not buy a pill, that was not going to happen. Philip and the others heard the commotion and felt exasperated by their impatience. Philip told Lyle to handle them. He was the youngest and usually spoke with tact, so he should handle this group of old men quite well. Lyle nodded and walked out with disdain. “Gentlemen, please stop knocking on the door. We're closed for the day!” Lyle said helplessly. Aslan did not have a good impression of these o
No one believed that Philip was the owner of this store, so they simply treated him as an ignorant fool. “You'd better open the door for us or you’ll face some consequences you cannot afford to pay,” the well-dressed old man said with disdain. “Didn’t you hear what my employee said? We can’t accommodate so many people at once. Besides, you didn’t ask us to prepare any pills for you. Where am I supposed to find so many pills at such short notice?” Philip said in a huff. “Besides, we've mentioned that we’ll be open for business one hour each day. You can buy it tomorrow.” Philip closed the door after saying that, making his stance clear. Everyone was agitated at Philip’s arrogance. At this moment, Monty appeared next to Philip. “I’m sorry. These people are used to getting their way by force, so they look pretty imposing. I already told them not to bother you, but they still turned up. Don't worry, I’ll advise them to return during your business hours.” Monty awkwardly tri
The group of old men had been rejected again. They were annoyed but could only try their luck again tomorrow. “I refuse to believe that I can’t even buy a pill. Find out what’s up with this store. We’ll line up when the store opens for business tomorrow!” “That's right, I don't believe he won't sell the pills when money is at stake. We need to buy all the pills in this store!” Everyone was furious. Well-respected people like them had never suffered such disrespect before. “That young man isn’t in the wrong. They're simply not open for business during non-working hours. We don’t have to get angry.” Many reasonable people were more amiable and not so radical. The more aggressive people calmed down and nodded awkwardly. The other party had a point. “You’re right. Let’s forget it and stop kicking up a fuss. We can see for ourselves when we enter the store tomorrow.” Everyone comforted themselves, and the matter quickly came to an end. The next day, Philip and the others ope
This bunch of old men reacted differently. Some were respectful and polite while others were blunt and not very reasonable. Lyle was exasperated by them. “Anyway, I’ve said everything I can say. If you want to buy the pills, hurry up. If not, you don’t have to stay here anymore. It has been half an hour now. We’ll be closing soon.” Lyle felt annoyed by their constant chattering. It was aggravating to see them being so suspicious of the pills they clearly wanted to buy. Some amiable people bought some pills, and Lyle served them with a smile on his face. Very soon, one hour was up, and Lyle closed the door sternly. Those people with a bad attitude and who doubted Lyle had no choice but to return empty-handed. These old men had never suffered such humiliation. They were angry, but their good upbringing prevented them from losing their temper. “That kid is really arrogant. It’s just a lousy pill. Let’s see if it’s really that effective!” They were still unwilling to believe
Everyone quickly stuffed the pills into their mouths as if afraid that someone would steal the pills from them if they were too slow. They returned to normal after taking the pills. They laughed contentedly and decided to celebrate over good food and wine. They usually abstained from greasy food and liquor. These old men had not touched wine for many years. As commanders and strategists leading the battlefield, it was hard for them to stay away from wine. “Let’s go to that newly opened restaurant for a drink!” “I heard that they serve very good food and wine there. Let’s have a good time!” Although they had no chance to eat and drink, they had always been paying attention to such stores. After deciding, they marched to the restaurant while the remaining few old men were sullen. They did not expect that the pills would be effective, but the store was already closed for the day. Moreover, their crude and doubtful words just now might have offended others. Thus, they felt very b
Lyle approached Philip. Of course, they knew what was happening outside. “Philip, that old man has been sitting outside all night. I think he’s going to stay there until we open the door. Is he really that persistent?” Lyle said curiously. He thought the old man was out of his mind. “If he really wants a pill, he can just ask someone to buy it for him. Why sit there in person?” Aslan was puzzled and could not figure out his intentions. “He’s just being earnest. You guys don’t understand him at all. He feels that he has offended us, so he's waiting at the door to apologize to us. Since he has gone to such lengths, let’s not make things difficult for him anymore.” Considering the other party’s age, Philip could not bear it anymore and asked Lyle to open the door. It was no big deal to open for business earlier today. Lyle tidied up the store and opened for business early in the morning. Bane stood at the door nervously, wondering how he should apologize. Lyle started clea
“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
