“Let’s put that aside for now and talk about it after our situation recovers. The world of the gods is not big. I believe Philip can understand the situation soon. He may be disappointed by then,” Marina said seriously after sorting out her emotions. Now that her family was not around, Marina had to take charge. The others nodded without a word. They knew that they had to avenge this. Maybe everyone would have been killed or injured if Philip had not been there. Philip was hurrying along the way with his people and could not care less about the mermaids’ thoughts. With Marina's reminder, they knew that they had to abandon their human identity for now. In that case, they could pretend to be monster beasts because they already had some in the team. “Okay, you can show off your ears or tails from now on, the weirder the better. The world of the gods isn’t short of monsters anyway,” Philip said. Everyone sprang into action with great relish. It was quite fun. As they hurrie
“This auction seems quite upscale to have the local authorities maintain order.” Philip marveled as he led everyone into the city, which was very crowded with people moving in one direction. Everyone was clearly here to attend the auction so Philip followed the crowd into a huge palace. “Wow, this place is so extravagant. I feel like a villager who has never seen the world,” Aslan marveled at this luxurious place. Since they did not have an invitation letter or proof of assets, they were assigned the lowest tier. There was nothing but some stools at the lowest venue, which looked empty and frigid. “This is too much. People who have no right to enter the venue are not even worthy of a cup of tea,” Philip sighed with emotion. Philip smiled brightly as he observed the surroundings. Sure enough, they saw no humans. The other guests looked weird but not ugly, definitely not as disgusting as the merfolk. “I can tell at a glance that you come from a remote village. You don't
Seeing the other party’s appearance, Philip asked in mock surprise, “Why does this person look like a human? I thought there were no humans now. Why is he here?” Before Philip finished speaking, the man smothered his mouth as if Philip just mentioned some taboo. “Watch your words. That guy isn’t someone to be trifled with. “Back then, the humans left many descendants in the world of the gods, and this man is just one of them. Maybe you have heard of those ugly merfolk, but some lucky ones inherited the good genes between races. “Only those who have inherited good genes can wander around so openly. Ugly things like the merfolk have no right to appear in our world.” After chatting with the other party, Philip finally understood the situation. The people in this world were obsessed with appearance! No wonder he did not see any traces of the merfolk along the way. They had been exiled because they were too ugly. The genes that failed to produce a good match had no right to en
The old man was an appraiser with a distinguished status in this auction house. Nothing would go wrong with the things he appraised. When he received the items that Philip put up for auction, he frowned in disbelief and looked at the things in his hands over and over again. “What is this?” He looked very doubtful as if he could not believe that someone would auction such things. “Mr. Wind, what’s wrong? Did someone send something weird to play a prank on you again? These people are really interesting, sending in some junk to pass off as treasures for the auction.” Seeing Elio Wind's awful expression, other appraisers joked and thought that someone had to be playing a prank on them again. “No, no one is pranking us this time. These things are the real deal.” He carefully held Philip’s items in his hands and studied them carefully as if he had seen some treasure. “This can be considered a B-grade high-quality weapon. It's almost perfect, just shy of reaching the next level.”
Soon, the higher-ups at the auction house knew about the weapon, and everyone was very excited. Everyone wanted to take it for themselves. It would be great if they owned such a weapon. It was not only an honor to have the same weapon as the true god but also a symbol of status. Thinking of this, the higher-ups were eager to attend the auction. The appraisal had just begun, and the other items had not been appraised yet. “By the way, stop dwelling on that item and look at other things instead. What if he has other good things on hand? We would've discovered a hidden talent this time.” Elio calmly picked up Philip’s pill and studied it. “Isn’t this the favorite plaything of humans? I've heard it's called a pill, but I’ve never seen one in circulation. Ever since humans were banned, I’ve never heard anything more about it.” Everyone was quite knowledgeable and could tell its origin. “I don’t think it can hold a candle to our potions. Humans have never promoted pills, so t
Everyone examined Beck and found no problem. The result could not be faked. There was no way Beck was making things up about the pill. Besides, no one knew who provided the pill, so a cover-up was not possible. Therefore, the pill was genuine with no problem with it. The effects of Philip’s pills were the same as described, so they only tested one pill. They knew how precious these pills were. “Let the host promote these items. The highlight of our auction tonight will be the pills.” Beck immediately decided. With his experience and foresight, he knew the sensation this would cause. Everyone quietly waited for the auction to start. Suddenly, the beautiful auctioneer walked out and looked at everyone in disbelief. “I have good news for everyone. This time, we've received some very powerful weapons and medicines to heal our bodies, so we’ll be adding some items to the auction tonight.” Despite the announcement, they did not clearly state what they would add. They planned
No one thought highly of the stone but felt exasperated instead. “The function of the stone is nothing more than ripping off some money, just like everything else. I believe the lapdogs are looking forward to it.” Aslan only thought it was a complete waste of money and could not see anything special about it. Philip shook his head. He felt that this stone contained a special power. Moreover, Rabbit was fidgeting in his arms as if it wanted to get this thing. “No matter what, we have to buy that thing. We won’t make a loss either way.” Philip had many spirit mines, so buying it posed no problem. He could easily wipe the place clean if he wanted to. Besides, he had put some valuable things up for auction as a guarantee. He was sure he could get some good things in exchange. Philip quickly bought the stone. The audience was not interested in it, so Philip won it with one bid. At this time, an employee of the auction house took out Philip’s pills from the pile of auction it
Another guest noticed Philip’s confusion and kindly explained, “It’s time for a break, or rather, time to prepare more money. Everything costs a lot of money here. Didn’t you see how many crystal stones that thing costs?” After hearing the other party's detailed explanation, Philip finally understood what was going on. The auction house was quite considerate. Worried that the guests would not have enough money to bid for the subsequent items, they chose to take a break. Philip felt a little annoyed. He thought he could quickly explore this world after the auction. This development was out of his expectations. Before Philip and the others could leave for a walk, an old man appeared in front of Philip, smiling brightly as if he wanted to have a good chat with Philip. “Young man, let’s have a chat. I know you put the pills up for sale. Don’t worry, I mean no harm. I just want to discuss a deal with you.” The other party's attitude was good, and he did not look like a bad guy.
“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
