“Hey buddy, I’m sorry to bother you.” Yule's attitude was quite nice. He approached Lyle and looked at him anxiously. Lyle was at a loss to see the guy at his feet. He had no idea why he encountered this mess when he was only here for a meal. “What’s up? I remember you, but the deal between us is over. Don’t try to rip me off,” Lyle exclaimed in mock horror. Yule quickly explained, “I’d like you to explain the whole situation to me again. I can consider giving you another sum of money if you can match the testimony with my man.” Hearing that, Lyle shook his head. He had no time to waste on them. “Forget it, your rough actions have ruined my appetite. I don't want your money. Please don't follow me anymore. It’s annoying.” After saying this, Lyle walked away. Lyle seemed very unhappy as if he was done talking to them. Yule scowled at his disrespect. “Don't you think you've gone too far?” Yule frowned and said unhappily as Lyle tried to leave. Lyle did not look back. He d
Lyle returned to Philip’s side happily and spoke to him excitedly. Philip frowned at Lyle’s quick return and scowled at the crowd. “Brat, you’ve really been slacking off nowadays. You didn't even notice that you were being followed.” Philip shook his head helplessly. Lyle was too oblivious to his surroundings. Lyle was surprised to hear that, and he was embarrassed to find someone targeting him. “No way, how is that possible? I was very careful on my way back. There’s no way anyone could've followed me.” Lyle looked around carefully. He was nervous and felt that something was wrong. At this time, Aslan said helplessly, “You're too careless. I can detect a strange scent on you. Clearly, someone sprinkled some powder on you and tracked you all the way.” Lyle scowled at this development. “This is outrageous. Who did this to me? I’ll rip them into pieces.” Lyle was very angry and wished he could give the other party a good beating. He easily guessed who was following him.
Although Philip could put out the fire easily, it was no ordinary flame. “No one would be able to put out this fire if it was a normal household.” Philip could tell that the arson was done by a powerful weaponsmith. “These people have gone too far, messing with us for no reason. Since they’re so arrogant about this, let’s show them what we can do.” Aslan was furious. He was sleeping soundly when this happened. He was now wide awake and could not fall asleep again. At this time, Lyle seemed to remember something. He took out a lot of things from his pocket and handed them to Philip. “Philip, I forgot to give you these things. I took them from Yule when he was talking to me. I don’t think they’re worth much. That guy was so disgusting that it was difficult to get something from him.” Lyle had to insult Yule too. Philip was curious about the things Lyle handed him. He was very interested in one particular box. The box contained a large roll of parchment. Although Philip co
Lyle smiled awkwardly. If it had not been for the sudden arson and Lyle rushing out to put out the fire, he would have forgotten about it. In the dead of night, Yule arrived at the house with plans to deal with Lyle and the others. He found out that the man behind Lyle was Philip Clarke, a very powerful person and a force to be reckoned with. He was an expert who easily made the advanced list. Yule felt a little apprehensive at the thought of Philip’s strength. He managed to get to where he was today because of his foresight. He preferred to make friends rather than enemies. After all, he had enough enemies in Deadly Arena. “Forget it, let’s put it aside for now and study my treasure map. Maybe I can soar to great heights after figuring out the secret behind this treasure map.” Yule opened his storage ring to take out the treasure map, but his storage was empty. A storage ring was a valuable treasure, and he had gone through a lot of difficulty to ask his father to get one fo
This powerful weaponsmith would forge weapons and sell them to the contenders. After all, weapons were important tools in Deadly Arena. The fighters would be at a disadvantage without weapons. Yule knew that the other party was one of the very few who could forge storage rings. Therefore, this person had to be protected at all costs. A guy in a black robe soon appeared in Yule's room, wondering why Yule summoned him at this time. “Yule, I've completed the task you assigned me. Why are you looking for me at this hour?” The other party looked at Yule in puzzlement. Yule only asked him to set fire to Philip’s house without further instructions. Seeing him, Yule helplessly pulled the other party to sit in the room. “I need to ask you something. I hope you can clarify my doubts.” Yule was very sincere and seemed genuinely curious about something. “Speak your mind. I’ll do my best to answer your question if I can.” The other party's attitude was very good, so Yule quickly rel
Yule scowled as he tried to recall what happened in the day. “Impossible, I didn't meet any powerful people today. They were all passersby not worth mentioning.” Yule shook his head, trying to clear his mind. He felt that this matter seemed to be related to Philip and Lyle, but he could not pinpoint it. “I can feel that this person is very strong, and you just met them recently. Think carefully if you've met any strangers recently.” Yule scowled as his suspicions became stronger. “I did meet someone recently. His name is Lyle, but he’s not as strong as you described. He’s just a newcomer who made the rookie list.” Mason kept analyzing the situation with Yule, feeling anxious and in disbelief. Finally, Mason decided to approach Philip and Lyle in person. He was very curious about Philip. “I’ll give you his address and you can stake him out. If he’s really that strong, I’ll have to consider the next steps.” Yule sorted his thoughts out. If the other party was really a power
“This guy’s vibe is very familiar. I think he appeared in our territory yesterday. Let’s watch out for him. He’s probably up to something,” Aslan said solemnly. His senses were different from those of ordinary people, so he acutely felt that something was wrong. Philip nodded without a word. He could feel the difference in this guy too. Philip did not even have to guess that this was the guy who burned his house. “I passed by this place and saw that the environment is quite good. How do you maintain your place so nicely?” Mason found a lame excuse to start the conversation. Philip blinked in surprise. He wondered what this guy was up to, but he was simply here for a casual chat. “It’s a trade secret, not something anyone can find out.” Philip grinned, but his tone was unfriendly. After all, this guy was an arsonist. Philip had no reason to treat him nicely. After sensing Philip’s hostility, Mason scowled at his tough attitude. “Hehe, you don’t have to be so hostile. It’s
Mason picked up the dagger and studied it carefully. He realized that this weapon was very valuable and probably worth a fortune. Even some of the best weapons he forged might not hold a candle to this dagger. “Where did you get this weapon? How could you throw it to the ground so casually? This is outrageous! I’ve never seen such a precious thing in my life, but you're treating it so roughly. It’s wasted on you!” Mason grumbled in dissatisfaction as if he was heartbroken over Philip’s behavior. Philip frowned. “Is it very expensive? It’s no big deal to me.” Philip shrugged helplessly at this ignorant man. It was just an ordinary dagger that he used to peel fruits, but Mason treated it as a treasure. “What?” Mason was surprised and dumbfounded. He had a feeling that something was wrong. He thought Philip might not know the value of this treasure, so he might pick up a bargain. His eyes darted around as he quickly composed himself. “Since you think so little of it, why don't
“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
The Hexa Guild also claimed that they would kill anyone from the Celestial Palace. Although upset, no one dared to say anything in the face of the other party’s strength. It would be embarrassing if they could not live up to their claims if they retorted now. Moreover, the battle was a matter of life and death. Everyone was risking their lives. The Celestial Palace had the confidence to face the Hexa Guild now. They believed that they could turn the situation around with their strength or at least show them what they could do. There would be a battle between the two parties in the afternoon, which was the best time to show off their strength. The young lady of the Celestial Palace would be the one contending. After improving her strength, Vanna was full of confidence and vowed to give her opponent a fatal blow or at least let them know how powerful she was. Ronan was nervous. He was not worried about his wife but worried that the Hexa Guild would take things too far. Those
It could be considered returning the favor. Jamie shook his head helplessly. He knew Philip’s kind intentions, but this matter was not so simple. “I know that your wine can improve someone’s strength, but it’s no help to us right now!” The overall strength of the Hexa Guild had increased so much that it went beyond anyone’s comprehension. Carlos turned up at this time. He wanted to talk to Philip about this matter, but Jamie beat him to it. “My friends just told me that the Hexa Guild is hellbent on dealing with everyone, not only us. Anyone up against them will be killed. They must be insane to face any guilds without fear!” Philip was intrigued. They could not be so confident for no reason. They must have encountered an opportunity. “Maybe they encountered an opportunity. I can't be sure about this, but I can at least provide you something to ensure that nothing happens to your people.” After saying this, Philip handed Jamie some pills. Philip was very confident about
It was very suspicious that a bunch of losers became so strong all of a sudden. “Philip, don’t you think something is wrong? I have a feeling that the Hexa Guild did something,” Jamie asked bluntly with mixed feelings about it. There was clearly something wrong with the Hexa Guild. Philip nodded. He had been watching the competition carefully. He could see that these people’s strength had just been improved, and their foundation was not very stable. “Don't think too much. There is a problem with them, and it’s not small either. From the looks of it, they must've taken something that can quickly improve their strength. However, their skills and combat experience can't keep up, so they can only barely manage it.” Philip shook his head helplessly. At this rate, even the members of the Celestial Palace would suffer. Moreover, the Hexa Guild held a big grudge against the Celestial Palace. Once they met, it would definitely be a life-and-death battle. “What should we do? All th
“You should prepare for the competition.” Philip turned and left after saying that. Everyone felt angry at his domineering appearance. Some people had ideas about Philip. “Which guild does Philip belong to?” a man with a sinister face asked angrily. He wanted to know which guild Philip belonged to so that he could go all out to target Philip's guild. Others shook their heads. No one knew much about Philip. At this time, a spy from the Hexa Guild stepped forward. He looked at the man flatteringly and provided all the information he knew. “Philip doesn't belong to any guild, but he’s an honorary elder of the Celestial Palace!” The fact that Philip became an honorary elder of the Celestial Palace had not been made public. Only people keeping a close eye on the Celestial Palace knew about it. The Hexa Guild had always wanted to deal with the Celestial Palace, so they had been keeping a close eye on the latter. They knew all the minor details. The man scowled as if he did
“I can explore the secret realm on your behalf, but why do you think she’d appear there?” Although Philip could not figure it out, maybe the old monk had his reason for saying that. “I’ll explore the secret realm after the guild competition is over. If I can find the woman you’re looking for, I’ll think of a way.” In fact, Philip would rather take the old monk with him. He did not know what the woman looked like, so it was better for the old monk to do it himself. “Sure!” The old monk smiled brightly, surprised that Philip would agree so decisively. The secret realm was full of dangers. He knew that he should not let others take risks for him, but Philip did not ask any questions and even agreed to his request without any hesitation. “I’ll think about it and see if I can find a way to bring you in,” Philip said off-handedly. He still preferred to bring the old monk with him. The old monk was dumbfounded and thought he had heard it wrongly. “What?” The old monk gaped at
