Philip shook his head. It was too late to develop their force now. Half a month was not enough for them to reassemble their people. “We have the elves and fish creatures on our side, so we won’t face such a tough time, but the demons can employ some weird tricks,” Loony analyzed the situation like a lame strategist with a calm smile on his face. Seeing his dodgy appearance, Philip suddenly wondered if he was really as reliable as he imagined. The voodoo technique Loony learned was indeed powerful, and the demons were proficient in voodoo too, so Loony was the key to dealing with them. “Their dirty methods are endless. I can't wait to get my book back from them. I wonder what they've gleaned from it." Loony was very upset that his book had fallen into their hands. He felt that his book had been sullied by them. “I don’t think you can get the book back from them again. If I had mastered the book, I would've destroyed it to prevent anyone from using it again.” Lyle shook his hea
Moby was full of disdain for those people who kept bragging about their bloodline. Bloodline was important, but power was more important. It was sickening to see those people looking down on other races based on their bloodline when they were not strong enough to back it up. Everyone had always looked down on the fish creatures because of their bloodline. They had endured it for a long time. Philip’s arrival marked their time to rise. They had to show everyone that bloodline was not the most important factor in determining status. “However, the demons are not so easy to deal with. We have to be prepared for a drawn-out war. If I’m not mistaken, they’ll find ways to mess with us soon.” Philip was interested in the Swift family and wanted to find out more about them. “Normal people can’t get in touch with the Swift family. They've maintained the prosperity of the family despite being imprisoned for a long time, which proves their strong foundation." Loony was wary. He knew
At Philip’s level, he could easily escape a carefully planned assassination like that. After the woman returned to the safe base in a hurry, a man appeared in front of her unhappily. “Did you fail your mission?” Although he looked unhappy, there was no anger in his voice. The assassin lowered her head and nodded nervously. She knew that death awaited her upon her failed mission. The other party sighed and said nothing. “This mission was issued by the Swift family. Although you failed your mission, they didn’t blame you, so you won’t suffer any repercussions.” The assassin was surprised to hear the man’s words. She escaped a disaster. “Really? That's great. My target this time is a strong, powerful person. We need to be fully prepared if we have to assassinate him again!” The assassin's name was Scorpio, a professional top-notch killer who rarely failed. However, she was defeated by Philip this time. Scorpio felt a lingering fear at the thought of Philip’s terrifying str
“Speaking of demons, I recall something. Before Rabbit's father died, he had a relic that he wanted to pass down to Rabbit. It was supposedly a valuable treasure that all demons would fight for.” Everyone was startled to hear that. “Something left by my father? Why have I never heard of it? Tell me the details!” Rabbit’s nonchalance was quickly replaced by anxiety. He had always attached great importance to news of his father. He had lost his memory, so he could not remember many things. He had no impression of his father either, which made him sad. “I don't know what your father left for you, but he was very adamant about giving it to you. It was hidden in the depths of the mountain at the time. Although it was said to be a treasure, I always thought it was just a gimmick.” Black Rabbit had always thought that Rabbit's father was an unreliable rabbit. He often used treasures to trick people into helping him. However, the treasures he gave were the real deal, so the rabbits
“I’m surprised that you’re such a devoted lover, but are you sure there’s nothing fishy about it? Humans usually look down on other races. Why would they propose a political marriage?” Lyle expressed his doubts over this matter. There had to be something strange about this. They might suffer a great blow if they rashly opposed the Swift family, but they couldn’t let the Swift family bully the woman of Loony’s dreams either. “I know it’s strange, but I’ve confirmed that the other party is indeed my lover.” They discussed at length but simply could not determine if this was a fraud.… On the other hand, members of the Swift family gathered happily as if there was something worth celebrating. “Are you sure we can trick Loony into coming over with this?” An ugly man looked at Drake with both curiosity and expectation. Drake nodded, excited at the thought that Loony would soon fall into the trap according to his plan. “You have to believe that he’s a man of loyalty and faith,
“Calm down, you’ll have your fun after we deal with Loony. Taking action so quickly is only asking for trouble. We have to keep our cool now.” The ugly man fell silent at Drake’s words. He nodded and forced himself to control his emotions. “I’ll wait for the day, then. I have to commend Loony’s tastes. That woman is quite the catch!"… While Drake planned how to deal with Loony and Philip, Philip was discussing with Loony how to solve this problem. He knew that the Swift family was a force to be reckoned with, but they had to deal with them. Through the conversation, Philip roughly learned the general situation of the human world. All the major families were making a comeback, but the Swift family was the most arrogant among them. Another powerful force was the Spade family. The Spade family had always kept a low profile and had little contact with worldly affairs. They had always frowned upon the Swift family and opposed their crooked ways. After being imprisoned for so m
“We’ll be meeting a young heir of the Spade family. He holds the highest status in the family apart from the head of the family. “I’m sure we can solve the problem as long as we reach an agreement with him. I’m just afraid…” Philip was puzzled by Loony’s hesitation. “What are you worried about? Are you worried that the Spade family won't help you?” Philip was curious. He did not know the Spade family, so he could not predict their reaction. “I’m just afraid that they may be concerned about how this incident will impact them. Although the Spade family resented the Swift family, they've never taken action against them over the years, which proves their caution. Now that things have escalated, I’m not sure if the Spade family will agree to our proposition.” Philip nodded. It was certainly worth consideration, but they could only find out after a talk with them. Philip was not worried about it. If they were willing to cooperate, both parties could form a strong alliance, but it
“To tell you the truth, we’ve always wanted to take action against the Swift family, but our identity makes it inconvenient for us. We've always hoped that an individual force could take action on our behalf. “The Swift family has other families to support them, but you don’t have to worry about them. We can take care of them. You just need to confront the main family.” Brett clapped his hands together, and a man walked in the door. The man was burly and looked like a strong fighter. “He’s a guard of the Spade family and a force to be reckoned with. To show you my support and gratitude, I’ll lend this guard to you for the time being. His name is Hercules, and he’s no different from the Hercules in our mythology. I gave him this name to make him stronger.” Philip smiled. Sure enough, only humans would appreciate such things. “Hercules, you’ll be their point of contact. You need to do your best to help them if they need help and hold nothing back.” Philip felt Hercules’ power
“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for attending the lark family’s grand ceremony of the century,” a man announced in the middle of the square, and the bride stood next to him with a happy smile on her face. If Adam was present, he would definitely recognize the bride as the woman he had been dreaming of over the years, Ashley Bay. A handsome man stood next to the bride. His every move was imposing and domineering. They looked like the perfect match. Everyone looked at this scene and blessed them happily. “After a series of careful selection, I finally found the most suitable husband for my daughter. This is an important event for the lark people!” The lark people had a high status, and everyone wanted to marry into this family. After many selections, the bridegroom finally won the bride’s hand in marriage. Over the years, countless men had flocked around Ashley. After observations from all aspects, this man fit all the criteria—so much so that Adam had long been forgotten.
“This boot records various information about the lark people that may be very important to you. I believe you’ll understand after reading it.” After saying this, Renee handed the boot to Adam. She was not a fool. She knew that Philip was not the person initiating the search. Although Adam always remained calm, he could not hide his eagerness at all. Adam looked at Renee gratefully and took the book and started reading it without further ado. The more he read, the more shocked he felt. In the end, he was full of disbelief as if he could not believe what he saw. “Is this for real?” Adam finished reading the boot quickly and handed it to Philip and Carlos. The other two flipped through the book curiously. Philip scowled. He could not tell whether the information was true or false. “Is it true that the lark people have such an ability? It's recorded in the book that they can create a world. That’s simply…” Carlos was puzzled. Only a very powerful being could create a world. Was
“Please tell me how to find them. I want to find out what’s going on, even if it's just to convince myself to give up.” Adam decided that he still wanted to find the other party. No matter what, he had to get to the bottom of it. If everything was a lost cause, he would give up. Hearing that, Renee seemed conflicted as if deciding whether to tell them everything. “It doesn’t do me any good to tell you this. Why should I take the risk for no reason? I do business. You need to pay a price for it,” Renee said with a smile. Philip laughed. The words sounded very familiar to him as if he said them before. He used to say such things when he was doing business just to bluff some dumb customers. “Of course, I know you do business. If you’re willing to tell us something, we can offer you something in return, whether money or other resources,” Philip said with calm confidence. No matter what the other party wanted, he could easily provide it. Renee smiled at Philip’s words. “It's
The woman seemed amused by Philip’s request. “I know what you’re worried about. Don’t worry, I’m not a liar. Although my actions don’t seem aboveboard to you, I’m not a bad person.” The woman did not hide anything. She knew that Philip had seen through the secret of her singing. As the only man who discovered her secret, she admired Philip very much. She once vowed that she would marry the man who could resist the temptation of her singing. “By the way, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Renee, and I'm an employee of Moon Tavern. My job is very simple, that is to bring in more profits to the tavern.” Renee seemed very sincere and told them everything about herself. “However, my method isn’t very aboveboard. You already know that I make profits by using my singing to attract customers.” Renee mentioned her secret frankly, and Philip was surprised by her honesty. “As for the secret between me and the lark people, I can tell you that they hate me so much because some
Seeing everyone’s reaction, Philip was all the more interested in this mysterious existence. He wanted to find out who they were to act so arrogantly. Obviously, the lark people were stronger than anyone could imagine. Ordinary people were afraid of this family no matter how powerful they were. Maybe the storyteller felt uncomfortable at the mention of this family, but he quickly left after a while. Philip and the others were disappointed that they could not find out the news they wanted. When they thought that they had to return in defeat, a woman appeared and looked at them calmly. The woman was wearing a veil on her face, making it impossible to see her appearance. The veil was quite an extraordinary item that could block various detections. However, Philip recognized her at a glance. She was the woman singing on the stage just now. She actually approached them. Things were getting more and more interesting. “What you want to know is taboo. Come with me if you want to fi
Meanwhile, backstage at Moon Tavern, the waiter was telling the woman singing on stage earlier about what had happened in the private room. The woman was full of disbelief, thinking the waiter was lying. “Don’t try to bluff me. How could anyone resist my attack?” The woman wore a veil on her face and looked very mysterious. Only the woman knew how disgusting she looked when she was not performing or casting spells. Covering her face was the best choice. The waiter told her what happened and described the state Philip and the others were in earlier. Although two people were affected, it was a problem because one person had remained conscious.They would face a lot of problems if other people discovered their tricks. The woman's tricks were extraordinary. Even a powerful person with superb strength would find it difficult to get rid of her attack. These so-called strong experts would only end up falling for her trick. At this time, the storyteller went on stage, and he was t
Philip nodded. “Do I have to order something else?” A hint of realization flashed in Philip’s eyes. He realized what was going on. The woman had the ability to bewitch the customers by affecting their thinking and emotions through singing and inducing them into spending money. She exuded a special charm to attract the customers even though she looked ordinary. In their minds, she was an unattainable goddess. Everyone saw a different woman in their minds but charming nonetheless, tempting them to spend money on her even though it would cost them all their fortune. However, Philip was different. He could control his emotions very well, so this woman had almost no influence on him. He realized this problem when he first heard that mysterious song. The waiter scowled and finally left the private room in horror after much deliberation. Philip did not say anything at his hasty departure. The woman quickly left the stage after playing her zither, and the bewitched customers
“Something is wrong. I find that woman a little weird.” Hearing that, they were curious to find out how Philip concluded that. “Although she’s not that good-looking, I don’t think she’s weird. What do you think is wrong with her?” Carlos said in puzzlement, wondering why Philip felt that this woman was weird. “The woman seems to have a fatal attraction to the male customers. It’s a scary ability to make these men flock to her.” It was weird that a woman with average looks could attract so many men. No one would believe that she had a strong appeal. “Welcome to Moon Tavern. I’ll be singing a song for you today. I hope you like it.” The woman's delicate voice rang, and everyone felt relaxed and happy. Even Philip felt that this voice was very charming, like the sound of nature ringing in his ears. However, Philip was not a fool. He keenly sensed something wrong with the situation. Nothing would be charming enough to attract him. For it to happen meant that something was wro
“Give us three pots of tea. We don’t need anything else. Thank you.” Philip did not order anything else. In his opinion, he was just here to find information, so his money should be spent on things that mattered the most. The waiter rolled his eyes at the order and seemed to look down on Philip. “Customers, are you sure you only want a few pots of tea? We have many snacks too,” the waiter said in disdain. Carlos was more concerned about his image, so he was shocked by the waiter’s obvious disdain. “Yes, we only need a pot of tea each. We want to have a taste first.” Adam's attitude was much better, speaking with a friendly smile on his face. Even if the waiter was angry, he could do nothing about it. The waiter left cursing under his breath. He thought that they were big customers, but they did not even give him a tip. Philip glanced at the waiter helplessly. Even waiters were so arrogant nowadays. Philip and the others were quickly served three pots of tea. The pots
