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
Yule not only failed to uncover the situation but also lost the treasure map. How could he face the big bosses later? “Philip, tell me what’s going on. Did you send someone to steal my things?” Yule was very angry at this unexpected outcome. Philip and the others looked at Yule’s sudden appearance helplessly. Everyone recognized Yule. Yule saw the many familiar faces in the yard and scowled darkly. Yule clearly remembered all the guys who asked him for money before. “Damn it, I was wondering why everything felt wrong! So, this is your conspiracy. Hehe, it was my fault for trusting you. I was too naïve.” Yule laughed at himself in disbelief, appalled by his stupidity. Seeing Yule’s reaction, Philip smiled awkwardly. He felt a little guilty over this. After all, he had deceived Yule with his people, which was quite embarrassing. “You said we stole your things. Why did you say that? Don’t accuse us for no reason. Although we ganged up to cheat your money, we didn't steal you
“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
