People from the Pill Guild were full of disdain. In their opinion, Philip was dispensable and could be dealt with easily. Philip did not know that he had been targeted for no reason. He thought they would give up. After all, Lyle had turned them down. No one should persist so shamelessly. However, he underestimated the power of a genius. A genius like Lyle was highly sought after. “Philip, I think these people are planning something at the door. Do you think they’ll attack our store?” “Hehe, if they dare to attack our store, I’ll kill them!” Lyle and Aslan chatted at the door. They regarded this store as their home. Anyone who dared to destroy their property would be dead. Philip shrugged nonchalantly. “They can do whatever they want. Their actions have nothing to do with me. Maybe they just want to cause trouble.” Philip made himself a pot of tea. These guild members always did what they wanted, so he did not take them seriously. It was getting late, so Philip closed
More and more people queued up for the test the next day. Among them, a man entered Philip's store and bought the cheapest pill after much deliberation, which cost him three million energy stones. Philip was baffled by this transaction that happened out of the blue because no one else was willing to enter his store other than the old men who were his regular customers. Obviously, someone was trying to tarnish his reputation outside, which was why his business became so bad. When Philip was about to close his business in the afternoon, someone turned up at the door. Some people surrounded Philip’s store in disdain as if they were going to cause trouble. Aslan moved closer. He did not know what they were trying to do, but he sensed their hostility. “Who are you? What are you doing?” Aslan glared at them impatiently. They tossed something at Philip fearlessly. “Something happened to our people after taking your pill! We want an explanation!” Philip frowned when he saw the
The energy stones were marked with the Pill Guild’s logo, so they had to belong to the Pill Guild. In that case, these people had to be from the Pill Guild. Philip smiled without a word. He did not have to waste his effort in investigating the matter now. Everything was right in front of him. The members of other major guilds gathered around. They noticed the conflict and wanted to watch the fun. “I wanted to check out this store today, but I’m surprised to see this scene. Is this store running an illegal business?” “Selling a problematic pill can be quite serious. I’d advise everyone to stay away from this store in case anything happens to you!” The onlookers spoke arrogantly without any consideration for Philip. They just wanted to humiliate Philip. “Who are you? Why do you say that our pills are problematic? Are your pills better?” Aslan retorted. In his opinion, nothing would be better than Philip’s pills. The onlookers reacted with disdain at Aslan’s remarks. “Of c
Philip smiled, waiting for the other party to reveal their ultimate objective. The people from the Pill Guild were taken aback by Philip's indifference. After much deliberation, the first speaker finally decided to extend an invitation to Lyle. “You must be Lyle. As you can see, they're not good people. Why don't you join us? The Pill Guild has a good reputation and will never harm others.” The person from the Pill Guild smiled brightly, trying to use the guild to influence Lyle. “My name is Dwight Canning, and you can call me Dwight. We’ll be a family after you join the guild.” Hearing that, Lyle burst out laughing at that ridiculous remark. “Say, Dwight, you think too highly of yourself. As I said, I won’t join any guilds. I don’t care about your lousy guilds at all, do you understand?” After saying that, Lyle sat on a stool leisurely. Dwight felt very angry at Lyle’s uncaring attitude. He wished he could take this guy to the guild by force. He would have done so if L
Dwight did not realize that Lyle was so powerful. He thought that Lyle was just talented, but he was so strong as well. He might become an official member very quickly if he joined the guild. “Haha, you’re really ignorant. You can enjoy a better life if you join our guild, and you'll have more than what you have here!” Dwight scrambled up miserably, rubbing the sore spot where he was kicked. The pain in his chest where he was kicked just now spread all over his body. He felt like he had been insulted. It was a disgrace that a dignified member of the Pill Guild was humiliated like this. “You've seen my strength. This is just the tip of the iceberg of my teacher’s knowledge. If I can defeat you, it shows that the Pill Guild is full of losers!” Lyle said harshly. Dwight was furious. He wanted to ask someone to attack Lyle but gave up after recalling his strength. In consideration of their strength, it would be embarrassing if they were defeated again. He could not guarantee th
The onlookers were already laughing at Dwight, so he could not embarrass the guild further. He would be punished if the guild found out about his disgrace. Dwight grimaced at the thought of the guild's cruel punishments. When he returned to the guild, Dwight met the first elder who was very anxious to take Lyle under his wing. “How is it? Have you settled the matter? Is the little guy sobbing with happiness?” the first elder asked anxiously. He could already picture the other party’s teacher jumping in rage. Dwight said awkwardly, “First Elder, the outcome is somewhat different from what we imagined.” He scowled in embarrassment at this point. The first elder frowned at Dwight’s reaction. He smacked Dwight to hurry him up. “Tell me what happened. I want to see what those arrogant and domineering guys can do!” The first elder was in charge of recruiting members. He saw Philip’s arrogance and did not have a good impression of him. It would be Philip's fault if anythin
Philip had no idea that Dwight was making up stories in such a dramatic way. “First Elder, I leave this matter to you. I’ll contact some powerful members to take care of that store!” Dwight carried out the task smugly. He had done everything he could. Not only did the first elder not punish him, but Dwight had also shifted the blame on Philip. He believed Philip was doomed. Messing with the first elder was a bad idea. The first elder was notorious for being petty and would do anything to seek revenge. Now that Philip was on the cutting board, Dwight was in a very good mood. He used the first elder’s influence to contact several powerful guild members. Although Dwight could not order them around, no one dared to disobey the first elder. “Camden, I leave this to you. I believe you can take care of them! “With Camden’s help, I believe we can get rid of those arrogant people if we work together!” Dwight tried to flatter everyone. He was not very strong, but he was goo
The leader of the Pill Guild once charged a high price to make some pills for Twine, but his health worsened instead of improving. Thus, Twine had always had a bad impression of the Pill Guild. “That useless guild dares to offend Mr. Clarke!” Twine ordered his contacts not to interfere in this matter, leaving Philip to take care of the Pill Guild. In his opinion, they would die under Philip’s hands. The people in charge of the city received the news and could only turn a blind eye without another word. Dwight marched into the city and saw no city guards stopping him, which proved that the authorities were afraid of him. “Feel free to attack Philip without worries. I think the city guards dislike Philip too, or we wouldn't have been able to enter the city so easily. I was blacklisted before I left!” Dwight thought he would never return, but everything went so smoothly that his ego was inflated. This could only happen when his strength had reached a certain level and the
“He lost his family when their enemies sought revenge while he was very young, so he's quite pitiful in a way.” Philip was not concerned about it. The life story of a loser had nothing to do with him. Moreover, Bryce was clearly up to no good. Getting to know him was a waste of time. “I found all the information he researched. To be honest, I’d think highly of him if he weren't up to no good.” Rabbit waved his paw smugly. He had looked through Bryce’s things and knew exactly what he had researched. Philip looked at a bottle of potion and could tell everything at a glance. “He’s a genius, indeed, but there’s no saving someone with bad intentions.” Philip shook his head helplessly. Bryce could only blame his bad luck for encountering them today. Carlos quickly took care of Bryce. There was no point in keeping such an evil villain. There was no need to be charitable in this situation. Adam looked at the room and sighed helplessly at Bryce’s unfortunate end. Although he had
Philip was curious about this situation. Since he could not get any information from the stubborn hooded man, he would find out indirectly. “That’s enough. Take him away. He has no value to us anyway. It's better to send him away.,” Philip said with disdain and did not take him seriously at all. The hooded man was shocked to hear that Philip was sending him away. He was nervous and afraid that Philip would do something to him. Although he was selfish and unreasonable, he was also a coward and afraid of death. Everyone sighed helplessly at his mournful wails. Adam closed his eyes, unwilling to get involved. Seeing this, Philip believed that Adam was unwilling to pay attention to his nephew, but he was still curious. If they were closely related, why would this guy's family sever all ties with Adam? It was advantageous to be on good terms with Adam. Not only would they receive guidance on practice, but they could also listen to his lectures from time to time. For example,
Philip and the old monk greeted each other happily as if they were old friends. Carlos was surprised to see Philip on such good terms with the high and mighty old monk. This was something he had never even dared to dream about. It was unbelievable that he could sit and drink happily with the old monk one day. “Let me introduce my friends.” Philip calmly introduced everyone around him, ignoring Carlos’ anxiety. Carlos stood up when he saw the old monk. “Hello, my name is Carlos. I admire you very much. I never thought that I'd be able to meet you one day. It’s my honor.” Carlos was happy and excited to get more perks than the guild leader. The old monk was quite friendly. After greeting Carlos with a smile, he looked at Philip curiously, wondering what he was up to. “I want to find out if you know someone.” After saying this, Philip asked Carlos to bring the hooded man out. The guy was tied up tightly and looked pitiful. More importantly, his clothes had been stripped off,
The hooded man woke up very soon, and he could not believe that Philip caught him. “What's going on? How did you catch me? This is impossible.” He was very confident in himself and knew that no one could catch him so easily, but reality had just proven him wrong. He had no choice but to believe it. “What's impossible? You underestimate me too much!” Rabbit snapped furiously. “What’s your name?” Philip stared at the man curiously. He had a feeling that this person was the same as the old monk. “Rabbit, call the old monk over. I want to speak to him. He may not know you, so you need to tell him who you are.” After interrogating this man, Philip wanted to speak to the old monk and find out his opinion about this hooded man. Since the two gave him the same feeling, they had to be connected somehow. Rabbit hopped over to find the old monk. He knew that the old monk was the best referral for this matter because he was very powerful and knowledgeable. The old monk was resting
On the other hand, Lincoln was shocked to find that Hogster was dead. Lincoln had been watching the situation and knew that Philip was a powerful person. Everything was most likely related to Philip. However, he never thought that Philip could make people stronger. He had heard of some special circumstances that could improve someone’s strength. He had roughly guessed the implications but never paid much attention to the matter. In his opinion, the Hexa Guild was already ruined. If he wanted to save the guild, he had to get rid of Alain and his people. Lincoln had lost trust in the guild. If he had not left his seclusion by chance, he would not have bothered about anything. “Forget it. Stop throwing your weight around. Since your son died a tragic death, I won’t make things difficult for you,” Carlos said in disdain.He knew what Alain had done, so he did not have a good impression of him. Although his remark sounded a little hurtful, it felt good to say it. The other guil
“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
