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 a surprise. All of you ganged up to deceive me. What’s the point? I discovered everything in the end.” Yule looked at Philip smugly and mockingly. Philip was so stupid to expose everything in front of him. Foxy showed a look of disdain as if she did not think highly of Yule. “So what if everything has been exposed? Do you think you can take this young lady away?” Philip smiled helplessly. The exposure meant nothing. After all, Yule could never take Foxy from him. Foxy was not wearing a hat, so Yule could tell from her face and ears that she was definitely not a human. “This young lady has furry ears, so she must be a beast. How interesting. Her ears are quite pretty, but I wonder if she can keep them once I get my hands on her,” Yule said viciously with a look of disdain on his face. Meanwhile, Mason was still thinking of ways to get Philip’s weapon. “Stop worrying about it. I need to speak to you.” Mason pulled Yule aside nervously. He could not wait to tell Yule
“I’ll never lie to you about this. Everything I said couldn’t be closer to the truth. Never underestimate his strength and don’t think about messing with him.” Mason quickly went to Philip's side and looked at him nervously. “I’m very interested in this thing. Why don't you sell it to me? Just name the price.” Hearing that, Aslan rolled his eyes and put the dagger away without paying any heed to Mason. After all, Foxy had been discovered. It was difficult to predict what would happen. “Now that things have reached this point, there’s nothing much I can do. I believe your people took my things from me. I hope to have a good chat with you about our cooperation.” Yule scowled. After much deliberation, he decided to compromise with Philip. After all, Philip was a force to be reckoned with. If Philip was willing to cooperate with him, maybe he could figure the map out. “You can never find the secret behind the map even if you have it in hand, but I’m different. I know many thing
Yule could take advantage of Philip in this way, so he did not suffer a huge loss, after all. “The treasure map is pointing to a location in East Hill. Get ready to set off with us. You can bring ten men with you.” Philip was indifferent. This number of people meant nothing to him. Yule frowned at Philip’s words, unhappy that he could only bring ten people with him. However, he had to hide his displeasure at the sight of Philip’s expression. “Okay, I’ll gather my men in front of your place soon. I'll arrange for some elites to take care of this matter.” Yule quickly took Mason away. He was annoyed and felt that he had pulled the short end of the stick. Mason glared at Aslan with dissatisfaction as he was taken away much to his reluctance. Mason was very captivated by the dagger in Aslan's hand and wished he could immediately make it his own. “Have you seen the dagger in the burly guy’s hand? Do you know how powerful it is?” After being taken away by force, Mason did not
“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
