The guild leaders sat down in their respective positions. Philip knew that no one recognized him. As everyone chatted with each other, Philip had no intention of joining them. He thought they were too noisy. Although Philip ignored them, they were curious about Philip and wanted to talk to him. “Which guild do you represent?” “You don’t look familiar. I don’t think I’ve seen you before.” “Why don’t you introduce yourself?” Everyone asked Philip to introduce himself and seemed curious about him. At this time, the leader of the Pill Guild smiled with disdain. Since Philip had offended him, he wanted to teach Philip a lesson. “Hehe, he’s not as strong as you think. He’s just an ordinary guild leader of a small and unknown guild. His personal strength is not bad, but that doesn’t apply to the members under him.” Donald bad-mouthed Philip in private. He thought Philip would never find out. As the leader of the Pill Guild, his status and position were higher than other guil
How could some ordinary members come up with such powerful treasures? Donald was confused and at a loss for what to do. Philip stood aside, unfazed and unmoved. His members were responsible for their own pills and weapons. It had nothing to do with him. Philip simply provided them with the necessary practice resources. The leaders of other guilds were amazed by their strong performance. They looked at Donald in confusion, wondering what he was up to. “I think you need to explain this or else…” “Who said they were lousy? They're better than I imagined.” “From the looks of it, Guild Leader Philip should be very powerful too.” As they discussed it, they felt a sense of crisis, and their moods became somber. They thought that the winner would emerge among the major guilds, but this powerful guild popped out of nowhere. Everyone had a bad feeling about this dark horse. They were nervous. If this matter escalated, things would not be so simple. Everyone was determined to ge
“You should hurry up and check that guy’s background. Besides, why are you here when your guild has ended up in that state?” someone mocked Donald in disdain. Donald looked at the person who spoke. “My guild is just not interested in this event. As for that mountain, I’m not very keen about it either!” Donald said arrogantly, feeling upset. “Is that so? As far as I know, you’re currently facing a big problem. I heard that you’ve lost several guild elders recently, and your elite members have suffered major casualties. Is that true?” The major guild leaders gathered around, curious to hear about it. Donald was usually very cautious. How could he make such a big mistake? Donald was upset to hear everyone talking about him, trying to dig for information on the pretense of showing concern. He wished he could drive them away. However, he could not do that given his status. His position was not enough to compete with everyone. “You must be kidding. This is no big deal to me. I
“You won’t have to be so angry if you agree to work with me.” Donald turned around doubtfully for a look and found that he did not know that man. Moreover, this man appeared behind him without his knowing! How bizarre! Realizing that, Donald was filled with both fear and anticipation. He was clearly curious about this guy. “What do you mean by working with you? Can you kill him? I doubt so.” Donald was not looking down on this man, but Philip was too strong—not someone anyone could deal with. “I know his background. He’s not from around here. I know many of his secrets, unlike you.” Hearing that, Donald was startled. Philip’s background was baffling, indeed. “If he’s not from around here, is he from that mysterious place he mentioned…” Donald pondered, wondering what was going on. The man smiled to himself as if waiting for Donald’s reply. “If you want to be trampled under his feet forever, I don’t mind if you reject me outright.” Donald frowned at his remark but fina
“I’ll take care of his guild members next. You have to believe that I can kill him easily with my strength,” the mysterious man said smugly. He could not deal with everyone at once, but he could take care of a few at a time easily. “In that case, take down the championship this time and show me how good you are,” Donald bargained with the other party. If this person was really that good, he could get first place for Donald. Donald was very interested in the legendary Warble Mountain. “Warble Mountain is mine.” Donald looked in the direction of Warble Mountain with resentment. If not for Philip, things would not have turned out this way. “I can’t help you with that. You’re too weak. Even if I can help you deal with Philip, you have other opponents to deal with. I said I can help you deal with Philip, not other things.” Donald rolled his eyes at this guy’s nerve. “If you're refusing to help me, forget it. Just deal with Philip, then. If you can solve this problem, I won't
“Why are you here? What’s going on? Didn't you die in that place with the other guild members?” Donald did not check if anyone was alive, so he was surprised to see a survivor. Carol sighed helplessly. “I managed to escape the disaster by chance, but the others are not so lucky. They're now…” Her heart ached in pain when she thought of her father who died at the hands of that guy. Donald looked at Carol’s reaction uneasily. “Do you want to take revenge on Philip? I have a plan…” Since Carol was so upset with Philip, Donald could use this opportunity to let Carol trick Philip. “With your beauty, I’m sure you can bewitch Philip. I believe no man in this world can resist a woman’s charms, and Philip is no exception.” In his opinion, no man could resist this temptation, so maybe he could turn things around if Carol could enchant Philip. Carol's face flashed with expectation. She wanted to charm Philip too, and not necessarily as his enemy. After all, Philip was very powerful.
A competent and powerful guild should know many things, but these guilds were only specialized in one field, which was embarrassing. “That's right. If you ask me, these guilds are rubbish. They have no right to compete with us at all. Our people can do everything,” Lyle complained, feeling that this matter was ridiculous. “Hello, are you the leader of the Razer Guild?” At this moment, a tentative voice rang in Philip’s ears, making him uncomfortable. Of course, Philip knew that someone was approaching him, but he ignored it. “Just speak your mind and stop wasting my time,” Philip said seriously, unwilling to pay attention to this loser. He could tell at a glance that this woman was definitely up to something, so he could not be bothered with her. Carol was upset by Philip’s indifference. “I’m just curious about you. I don’t have other intentions.” Carol approached Philip cautiously and looked at him nervously. Philip smiled at her reaction. “I know you’re a member of th
Carol tried to fool Philip into accepting her. It would be easier if she could get close to Philip. Hearing that, Philip smiled helplessly and turned to look at Lyle and Aslan. “Philip, I think you should take this woman in. I believe she’ll be of great help to you,” Aslan teased Philip as if he were sincere about this suggestion. Lyle nodded obligingly. He did not mind watching the fun. “That’s right, just look at this beautiful young lady. We can take her in as our maid!” Everyone knew exactly what this woman was up to, so they pretended to give her the chance. They planned to embarrass her thoroughly. Carol thought she had managed to fool them and nodded excitedly. “That’s right, I’m sincere about apologizing to you. Please forgive me.” Although Carol’s excuse was very lame, Philip finally agreed after seeing her determination to work for him. “In that case, you can follow me from now on, but you need to understand your position and keep your nose out of certain thin
Meanwhile, backstage at Moon Tavern, the waiter was telling the woman singing on stage earlier about what had happened in the private room. The woman was full of disbelief, thinking the waiter was lying. “Don’t try to bluff me. How could anyone resist my attack?” The woman wore a veil on her face and looked very mysterious. Only the woman knew how disgusting she looked when she was not performing or casting spells. Covering her face was the best choice. The waiter told her what happened and described the state Philip and the others were in earlier. Although two people were affected, it was a problem because one person had remained conscious.They would face a lot of problems if other people discovered their tricks. The woman's tricks were extraordinary. Even a powerful person with superb strength would find it difficult to get rid of her attack. These so-called strong experts would only end up falling for her trick. At this time, the storyteller went on stage, and he was t
Philip nodded. “Do I have to order something else?” A hint of realization flashed in Philip’s eyes. He realized what was going on. The woman had the ability to bewitch the customers by affecting their thinking and emotions through singing and inducing them into spending money. She exuded a special charm to attract the customers even though she looked ordinary. In their minds, she was an unattainable goddess. Everyone saw a different woman in their minds but charming nonetheless, tempting them to spend money on her even though it would cost them all their fortune. However, Philip was different. He could control his emotions very well, so this woman had almost no influence on him. He realized this problem when he first heard that mysterious song. The waiter scowled and finally left the private room in horror after much deliberation. Philip did not say anything at his hasty departure. The woman quickly left the stage after playing her zither, and the bewitched customers
“Something is wrong. I find that woman a little weird.” Hearing that, they were curious to find out how Philip concluded that. “Although she’s not that good-looking, I don’t think she’s weird. What do you think is wrong with her?” Carlos said in puzzlement, wondering why Philip felt that this woman was weird. “The woman seems to have a fatal attraction to the male customers. It’s a scary ability to make these men flock to her.” It was weird that a woman with average looks could attract so many men. No one would believe that she had a strong appeal. “Welcome to Moon Tavern. I’ll be singing a song for you today. I hope you like it.” The woman's delicate voice rang, and everyone felt relaxed and happy. Even Philip felt that this voice was very charming, like the sound of nature ringing in his ears. However, Philip was not a fool. He keenly sensed something wrong with the situation. Nothing would be charming enough to attract him. For it to happen meant that something was wro
“Give us three pots of tea. We don’t need anything else. Thank you.” Philip did not order anything else. In his opinion, he was just here to find information, so his money should be spent on things that mattered the most. The waiter rolled his eyes at the order and seemed to look down on Philip. “Customers, are you sure you only want a few pots of tea? We have many snacks too,” the waiter said in disdain. Carlos was more concerned about his image, so he was shocked by the waiter’s obvious disdain. “Yes, we only need a pot of tea each. We want to have a taste first.” Adam's attitude was much better, speaking with a friendly smile on his face. Even if the waiter was angry, he could do nothing about it. The waiter left cursing under his breath. He thought that they were big customers, but they did not even give him a tip. Philip glanced at the waiter helplessly. Even waiters were so arrogant nowadays. Philip and the others were quickly served three pots of tea. The pots
Philip was not afraid at all. He knew that someone would target him, but they were just losers. They might be influential, but they were nothing in his eyes. He did not want to cause trouble, but it did not mean he would let anyone insult him. Philip and the others quickly found a tavern that looked quite high-end. “This place looks interesting.” Philip found the various decorations quite novel and knew it would not be cheap. “I don’t think it’s so easy to find any important information here. Just look at the customers and you’ll know that we’ll spend a bomb,” Carlos marveled at the price tag. Adam looked at the menu curiously and was quickly surprised to see how expensive it was for a pot of tea. “A pot of tea costs thousands of crystals?” Adam almost had a meltdown at the price. “Look at the requirements stated on the menu. Each person has to order a minimum of a pot of tea. Anything less than that and we’re not welcomed.” Adam shook his head helplessly and suddenly
“It’ll take a long time for this little fox to become a human. I think you would've found your other half before that happened.” After exchanging some pleasantries, Philip bade farewell to the shopkeeper and left without further ado. They had to hurry up to find the person Adam was looking for.… Meanwhile, Luther hurried back home unhappily. He never dreamed that he would suffer such humiliation one day. As soon as he returned home, a man greeted him. It was none other than his father, who doted on his son. “What's wrong?” He was surprised to see his son ignoring him. His son was always flashy and arrogant, so his behavior was quite unusual. Luther was in no mood to pay attention to his father. He returned to the room angrily without saying a word. “Guard, what’s going on? Did someone bully my son?” Luther's father, Klein, glared at the guard unhappily, blaming the guard for everything. The guard kneeled in fear and felt sorry for himself. “The young sir was brows
The shopkeeper was clearly relieved by Philip’s remark and direct approach. However, he was also embarrassed by Philip’s bluntness. He smiled at Philip awkwardly as an apology. “Why don’t you recommend a pet for my buddy? It should be a stronger one, preferably a combat type!” Philip glanced at Carlos. He knew that Carlos was too embarrassed to take the initiative. Carlos looked at Philip gratefully, letting out a shy chuckle. The shopkeeper recommended several pets to them. Carlos was dazzled by the sight and wanted them all. Adam looked at the scene with satisfaction. Although he had a high position, he did not have a decent pet either. It was difficult to have a pet in their world. With a wave of his hand, Philip generously bought a pet for each of them. At this time, Philip heard a whine from somewhere. He turned his head curiously and looked for the source of the sound. “What’s that noise?” Philip looked at the shopkeeper in confusion, unable to find the source of
Luther was at a loss for how to react. If the rabbit could speak, it had to be stronger than his pet. Although his pet was very powerful, it was just an ordinary creature that could understand some basic instructions and handle normal interactions. A talking pet was simply to die for. “Wow, how can that monster pet speak? It’s a force to be reckoned with.” Luther was shocked to see a talking pet. It was enviable to have such a powerful monster. Before this, he mocked the rabbit for not having any ability, but the tide had turned. He was almost going crazy with jealousy and wished that he could take the rabbit for himself. “I didn't bring my pet along, so I’m afraid I can’t show it to you. Losers like you don’t deserve to see my pet.” Luther acted full of snobbery and disdain, but he clutched his purse awkwardly. In fact, not only did he bring his pet out, but he had also been ready to show it off at any time. After all, his pet was very powerful and could grow bigger or sma
Philip was annoyed by the guy’s ridicule and simply wanted to keep a distance from him. “I don’t care who you are. I don’t want to pay attention to a loser.” After saying this, Philip could not wait to leave this disgusting place. He felt sick at the sight of the guy’s ugly face. Carlos lost the mood to watch the fun. He shook his head helplessly and turned around to leave. However, that guy was used to getting his way. He did not plan to let them leave in one piece. Anyone who offended him had to die. “Surround him. Don’t let him run away!” The man glared at Philip with disdain, sure that Philip would die. Philip was quickly surrounded by a large group of people. They were angry that Philip dared to go against their boss. “Who are you? Where did you come from? How dare you disobey our boss? Didn't he tell you to stop?” a guard yelled angrily. He was clearly a competent lackey, loudly accusing Philip as if he was going to stand up for his boss. “What are you looking at?
