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
“I just want a spot on the team. I don’t think it’s difficult for you.” The two quickly reached a consensus, and Mason got the spot he wanted.… Meanwhile, Philip gathered his members together and discussed the upcoming plan. At this time, everyone received an important message. Deadly Arena was going to undergo a major restructuring, so it would be closed for the time being. Anyone who wanted to hang around had to stay in Deadly Arena for three days and nights. Some people thought it was not worth it, so they packed up to leave. At worst, they could return after three days. Others chose to hunt in the beast forest for three days. Although they had a lingering fear of the beast stampede, the beasts had calmed down, so they could hang around. They could make a fortune if they could hunt some beasts during this time. Meanwhile, Philip and the gang headed for East Hill. To be precise, East Hill was not a hill but an island. The island was outside the scope of Deadly Arena, an
Yule did not expect that Philip would give him such a good thing. His dissatisfaction was quickly replaced by pleasant surprise. “Oh, this is great. I always thought that we should have an open and honest cooperation. I believe we can work very well together. Don’t worry, I’m serious about working with everyone.” Yule patted his chest with pride. Aslan chuckled inwardly at Yule’s reaction. He knew that the plan was working perfectly. Mason was dumbfounded by this development. He had been eyeing this weapon and even wanted to buy it from Aslan at a high price. However, Aslan was very arrogant and refused to sell it to him, which troubled him. Mason wanted to find an opportunity to get the dagger from Aslan, but Aslan gave the powerful weapon to Yule instead, much to Mason’s dismay. 'It seems that these people are quite good to give me such a precious weapon without hesitation,' Yule finally submitted with this thought. He was excited and decided not to oppose Philip anymore.
“You may have their weapon in hand right now, but have you ever considered the forces behind them?” Seeing Yule’s excitement, Mason sighed at his naivety. Yule was only in his 20s and very inexperienced. Although he had good abilities and strong talents, it did not mean he would not be fooled by others. Two yachts moved ahead at full speed. Philip and his men were on the other yacht, while they were here talking about the dagger. “What do you mean? Is there some terrible force behind them? I refuse to believe it.” Yule did not believe it because he felt that Philip was the true power behind them. As long as he could get along well with Philip, he would be free from worries. “I think Philip is a very good weaponsmith, that’s why he’s so powerful. Maybe Philip is better than you, so you should tone it down a little. At this rate, your position may be affected.” As if he was determined to ride on Philip’s coattail, Yule started changing his attitude. Mason scowled at Yule’s th
Everyone disembarked and moored the yachts aside. Philip had a bad premonition at the sight of the misty East Hill Island. “Does this island have frequent visitors?” Philip asked curiously. This place seemed sparsely populated and did not seem very popular with tourists. Yule shook his head. The visitors to Deadly Arena were there to challenge themselves or make money, not die. East Hill Island was a very dangerous place. Coming unprepared would only lead to death. Smart people would never set foot on East Hill Island for no reason. They would only leave after making enough money in Deadly Arena. “This place is not as simple as you think. It’s lurking with various dangers. East Hill Island has another nickname. It's also called Snake Island because it’s full of dangerous snakes.” Mason rolled his eyes and briefly explained to Philip. His and Yule's knowledge could crush Philip easily. They had lived in Deadly Arena for a long time and were familiar with many related thi
Although the demons active in the outside world were nothing worth mentioning and could be defeated easily, Drake knew that the true old elites were still hiding behind the scenes. No one would be afraid of the demons when the true gods were still around, but the true gods had been destroyed. Drake enjoyed the massage from his maids while he was lost in his memories. He recalled the battle ten thousand years ago. Ten thousand years ago, the true gods captured all the humans. Being new to this world, the humans did not know much about the true gods, so the latter took advantage of it. Due to the same reason, they fell miserably. Despite that, the humans also put up a tough fight and successfully sealed the true gods, resulting in a draw with both parties sealing each other. As all the powerful true gods had been sealed, some weaker parties created many so-called true gods to ease everyone’s worries. These true gods were meant to deceive the people, so Drake was not worried abo
The messenger said tentatively, “Philip is nothing but a small potato. Although he made the headlines now, he’s nothing much to shout about. We don't have to go to great lengths for him.” In fact, he looked down on Philip in his heart. After interacting with Philip face-to-face, he thought that Philip was only worthy of having a small force of his own. “You've wasted your years with me. Philip gives me a very special feeling. He’s different from other reckless young men. He’s a force to be reckoned with. At least, he’s my type. It has only been such a short time since he arrived in the world of the gods but he rose to the occasion so quickly. It’s inseparable from his personality and ability.” The messenger showed a sign of disapproval as if they should not think too highly of Philip. “We should take him down as soon as possible because of his ability to avoid any trouble. He may pose a certain threat to us if he’s allowed to develop further.” In his opinion, anyone who might
The messenger seemed surprised. Maybe he did not expect someone to refuse this treasure. “I won’t do anything for you if you don’t make things clear,” Philip said seriously, and everyone nodded. Everyone knew Philip’s character. Although everyone was tempted by the treasure offered by the other party, they knew better than to accept it. Seeing Philip’s tough attitude, the messenger shook his head helplessly and finally changed his tone. “Since you don’t know what’s good for you, I’ll speak my mind. Philip Clarke, you can’t survive in this world without a backer. I believe someone of your level can understand what I mean.” Seeing the other party's sudden change in attitude, Philip sneered. He had finally exposed his true colors. Now, Philip wanted to find out their true purpose. “My master thinks highly of you. Although your individual strength is important, you’ll only end up dead or face endless troubles without a strong backer to support you.” The messenger turned and lef
Philip looked at the pill given by the other party. He was not interested in the pill but wanted to find out what the other party was up to. “My master told me to give you this pill. He knows that you’re injured. You can recover very well with this pill.” Everyone was angry upon hearing this. Since the other party knew that Philip was injured, they probably sent the killer. “You guys are shameless! You found a killer to attack Philip, and now, you want to use a pill to act as a good person. You're playing good cop, bad cop! People of the Swift family are always so disgusting. After being locked up for thousands of years, you still can't change your ways and still do such shameful things.” Loony’s obvious disdain eased everyone’s frustration, but they wanted to find out what was going on with this Swift family. “This is a misunderstanding. We have nothing to do with it. We just know who wants to deal with Philip, but we have no right to expose the other party at our level, so
More importantly, this woman's tricks were quite interesting. Philip did not plan to kill her. Doing so might lead to more trouble. Besides, he wanted to find out her identity, so Philip decided to keep this woman alive for the time being. However, the woman darted away after the failed attack. Her speed was astounding. Philip watched in puzzlement as she vanished. She was not weak and could almost be regarded as an expert, so why would she mess with him? He could tell that she was human. Since they were the same kind, why kill him? Philip opened the door helplessly and saw everyone waiting to watch the fun. They had no idea what happened, and they had not heard any movement in the room. As Philip had been trapped in the other party’s barrier, they could only look at Philip eagerly, hoping to find out what happened inside. Aslan was the most eager, and he looked at Philip wickedly. “That woman is so useless. It’s only been a few minutes…” Before Aslan finished his words
Unfortunately, Philip was not affected by such things. He had always thought that such women were disgusting. Since everyone had a backer, he did not mind resorting to force. He would not back off if the woman decided to use some crooked tricks on him. “I don’t mind talking to you, but you need to put on some clothes first. If you can’t even dress properly, I have no reason to talk to you,” Philip said with an arrogant air of superiority. Hearing that, the woman could not help but burst out laughing. “You’re such a nice young man. I always thought you were a lecherous guy, but you’re so earnest. It seems that you can be a good business partner. I like you very much.” After saying this, a jacket appeared in the woman’s hands, and she draped it over her shoulders. Katie gritted her teeth at the woman’s actions. She was annoyed to see someone having ideas about Philip. Although Katie could be considered Philip’s apprentice, Katie had a secret crush on Philip. However, Katie
“I think everyone is underestimating humans. There are powerful formation masters among the humans. Although such things can restrain humans, how long can they last? Humans are constantly improving. They're simply looking down on humans!” Loony spoke with pride, clearly satisfied with the strength of humans. “Don’t blame me for bragging, but the humans were imprisoned for millions of years, and we've been making progress over the years. Other races would have faced a dead end if they were in our shoes. Not to mention escaping, most of them would have died of depression, so I can’t speak for them.” At this point, the pride of humans was fully reflected. Philip agreed with Loony. These people really underestimated the humans' abilities. “I don't know where they’ll go after escaping, but humans need social interaction, so I’m sure they won’t hole themselves up in a cave or something.” Philip frowned at this statement. In that case, many humans had probably entered the city. Th
The demons gave Moby a potion to make him stronger. Although Moby was ugly, it did not mean that he was stupid. On the contrary, he was more cautious than other races. He simply took a drop for an experiment without taking the entire thing. The creature that took the potion did become much stronger but ended up as an empty husk with a soul after one hour. The other party could control this body like a puppet if they had the relevant spell on hand. Moby was shocked by this discovery. It would have been the end of his life if he had taken the potion. He would have been seeking death by turning himself into a toy in the hands of the other party. Due to this reason, he decided to betray the demons. Black Rabbit was conflicted. The demons gave him the potion too. He simply kept the potion without using it because of his caution. He had thought of using it as a last resort, but he was so good at hiding things that he forgot where he kept it. In the end, he never used it. Blac
Everyone knew that the guy was just putting on a show. It was stupid to confront humans recklessly. Only a fool would mess with humans. Lyle and Aslan looked at each other. They knew the severity of the matter and could not wait to tell Philip about it. “Let's listen to what they have to say. We’ll tell Philip the whole story after figuring it out,” Lyle said calmly. They knew that they could not take this matter lightly. Although they did not know who sold their information, the other party was definitely up to no good, so they had to be careful. “Philip is the leader of a large organization. I heard that he’s here to turn the world of the gods upside down. He’s not from among the imprisoned humans but came from another world, which proves that he’s a force to be reckoned with. We may end up suffering if we confront him!” “Did the man named Philip release the humans?” “His goal is to destroy and take over the world of the gods!” Everyone was shocked by that declaration.
