The minotaur quickly took his leave and returned home. Philip shook his head helplessly at his hasty departure. “That minotaur really has a one-track mind, but he’s quite simple. Maybe the minotaurs will be good teammates.” Philip wanted to take these good people under his wing. Black Rabbit ate the remaining spiritual herbs happily. Philip had never given him such good things to eat before. He always lived on pills. He had fallen in love with these spiritual herbs. His strength would definitely improve by leaps and bounds if he could live on them. Rabbit knew where the herbs came from, so he looked at Black Rabbit in disdain. “You’re such a disgrace.” He had seen these herbs in the Verge Tower space but had never taken any notice of them. Although spiritual herbs were valuable, Philip’s pills were better. He could get more premium herbs for a few pills. Black Rabbit ignored him. He preferred the herbs.… The minotaur returned home. He wanted to share the herbs with hi
Hercules knew that minotaurs were very strong and loyal. More importantly, they would not enter the secular world for no reason. They were a mysterious existence, indeed. It would be great to turn them into human puppets. Hercules had developed his own thoughts. He was no longer the mindless puppet he used to be. However, since human puppets could only remain loyal, he could not do anything except serve the Spade family wholeheartedly. Philip noticed Hercules’ reaction. He had been paying attention to him since he knew that Hercules was a human puppet. Similarly, he had to put on an act with Maven if he wanted to get rid of the Spade family. “You've made the right choice.” Philip smiled and asked Aslan to take care of them while he and Maven went to the Spade family. Brett was getting impatient by now. He knew that Maven was very good at deceiving others, so it was strange that she could not get it done quickly. He never dreamed that Maven had reached an agreement with
Brett patted his chest in assurance and displayed his concern for Maven. After taking care of things, Maven turned and left without another word as if she had lost interest in this matter. Brett was surprised to see Maven leaving so decisively. He was glad at her compliance and the fact that she showed no interest in what they were going to do. “Since you have no interest in competing for the position of the head of the family, I don’t have to keep an eye on you anymore, and we can still work together,” Brett muttered under his breath. It would be perfect if he could develop Maven into one of his own. His path to dominating the world would become smoother with such a powerful person helping him. After Maven left, she returned to her room without any intention of interfering. It was a step in one of their plans to fool the other party into thinking that she had nothing to ask for so that they would drop their guard. In the meantime, Philip stood on the spot in a trance. Br
Maven decided to tell Brett about the minotaurs. “Brett?” Maven went looking for Brett as if she had something important to say. Hearing that, Brett walked over, wondering what Maven had to say. “I almost forgot something important. I saw a minotaur when I took Philip away earlier. “It seems that the minotaur brought his family over and planned to join Philip. What do you think we should do?” Brett was excited by Maven’s news. He never dreamed that he would hear about minotaurs. As someone who grew up among the major families, he knew what minotaurs meant. “If they're really minotaurs, that'd be great!” Brett exclaimed in delight. He invited Maven into his room to discuss it. If she was telling the truth, he had to get hold of the minotaurs. “Are you sure you’re not mistaken? The minotaurs have always been cooped up in their small territory and unwilling to venture out. What made them change their minds?” Maven shrugged in response. “I didn’t have time to ask about it
Brett knocked on the door, which a minotaur opened. Brett was excited at the sight of the minotaur. Sure enough, Maven was telling the truth. There really was a minotaur! “Wonderful!” Brett blurted. The minotaur was puzzled. Why would anyone say that at first sight? Was this person a lunatic? “What are you doing? Are you looking for Philip?” This minotaur was none other than the leader. He knew about the plan and fully supported it. He was angry to find out that Brett was a vain and scheming guy. “I'm here to look for Philip. It’s okay if he's not around. Let me go in and wait for him. I have an appointment with him. He should be back soon.” Brett quickly stepped in through the door as if he would not take no for an answer. The minotaur did not stop Brett. It was part of the plan anyway. “Hehe, just hang around and wait until Philip returns then.” With that, the minotaur turned around and left. He knew that Brett was here for him. “Don't leave. It’s my first time seeing
It was a win-win situation for Brett. Everyone else was exasperated by the Spade family’s plan. Everyone thought that being turned into a puppet was terrible enough, but the Spade family had plans to put them to work on top of that. “Wow, this herb is really good, but you just entered the secular world, so you must be uncomfortable. I have some good things for you. Why don’t we take a look in private?” Brett was very hospitable and acted like a great guy. Everyone looked at him thoughtfully. Brett was obviously up to something. “I don’t mind visiting, but you need to make ample arrangements. Philip has promised to prepare a lot of herbs for us. Although he hasn't fulfilled his promise yet, I believe he can do it,” the minotaur said meaningfully. Brett smiled excitedly at the minotaur’s dumb reaction. “No problem, I’ll make arrangements right away!” Aslan did not get involved. He knew that he had to give them some time. “Will you come with me?” Brett invited the minotaur e
“Don’t worry, everything will be fine now that I’m here! With my help, you can surely survive in this place!” Brett kept promising the minotaur excitedly, wishing he could take the minotaur under his wing immediately. “Hold on, let me inform my family head about this!” Brett planned to attack the minotaur at first, but hearing that he had his family with him, Brett wanted everyone instead. “Okay, I’ll wait.” The minotaur sat aside and waited for Brett. The plan was going well so far. The minotaur suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment. He never thought that he would trick someone one day. In the past, they never interacted with others because they could not outwit them. Meanwhile, Brett headed to his father’s room to inform him about this matter in detail. He knew that this matter would definitely cause a sensation. The minotaurs were a precious commodity to them. “Now that I have the minotaur under control, we just need to ask him to summon his people here, and everything
The cynocephaly did not notice any strange reaction on Philip’s face. After much deliberation, he decided to go for it. He had to find a way to leave this hellhole with Philip at all costs! “Hey, I can see you have extraordinary talents. You must be a powerful person. In that case, why don’t you take us away?” the cynocephaly said with a smile, and everyone around him glanced at him in disdain. They knew how disgusting the cynocephaly was. It was obvious that he wanted to take this opportunity to please Philip. Everyone hated the cynocephaly because he always caused trouble. Since everyone was a pitiful prisoner, no one could be bothered about him, but they were angry at his actions now. “Cynocephaly, you’re so shameless. I think you should be turned into a human puppet!” “I’ve never seen such a shameless guy like you in my life!” Everyone reprimanded the cynocephaly, feeling disgusted by him from the bottom of their hearts. “Buddy, don’t listen to them. I never said anyt
“He lost his family when their enemies sought revenge while he was very young, so he's quite pitiful in a way.” Philip was not concerned about it. The life story of a loser had nothing to do with him. Moreover, Bryce was clearly up to no good. Getting to know him was a waste of time. “I found all the information he researched. To be honest, I’d think highly of him if he weren't up to no good.” Rabbit waved his paw smugly. He had looked through Bryce’s things and knew exactly what he had researched. Philip looked at a bottle of potion and could tell everything at a glance. “He’s a genius, indeed, but there’s no saving someone with bad intentions.” Philip shook his head helplessly. Bryce could only blame his bad luck for encountering them today. Carlos quickly took care of Bryce. There was no point in keeping such an evil villain. There was no need to be charitable in this situation. Adam looked at the room and sighed helplessly at Bryce’s unfortunate end. Although he had
Philip was curious about this situation. Since he could not get any information from the stubborn hooded man, he would find out indirectly. “That’s enough. Take him away. He has no value to us anyway. It's better to send him away.,” Philip said with disdain and did not take him seriously at all. The hooded man was shocked to hear that Philip was sending him away. He was nervous and afraid that Philip would do something to him. Although he was selfish and unreasonable, he was also a coward and afraid of death. Everyone sighed helplessly at his mournful wails. Adam closed his eyes, unwilling to get involved. Seeing this, Philip believed that Adam was unwilling to pay attention to his nephew, but he was still curious. If they were closely related, why would this guy's family sever all ties with Adam? It was advantageous to be on good terms with Adam. Not only would they receive guidance on practice, but they could also listen to his lectures from time to time. For example,
Philip and the old monk greeted each other happily as if they were old friends. Carlos was surprised to see Philip on such good terms with the high and mighty old monk. This was something he had never even dared to dream about. It was unbelievable that he could sit and drink happily with the old monk one day. “Let me introduce my friends.” Philip calmly introduced everyone around him, ignoring Carlos’ anxiety. Carlos stood up when he saw the old monk. “Hello, my name is Carlos. I admire you very much. I never thought that I'd be able to meet you one day. It’s my honor.” Carlos was happy and excited to get more perks than the guild leader. The old monk was quite friendly. After greeting Carlos with a smile, he looked at Philip curiously, wondering what he was up to. “I want to find out if you know someone.” After saying this, Philip asked Carlos to bring the hooded man out. The guy was tied up tightly and looked pitiful. More importantly, his clothes had been stripped off,
The hooded man woke up very soon, and he could not believe that Philip caught him. “What's going on? How did you catch me? This is impossible.” He was very confident in himself and knew that no one could catch him so easily, but reality had just proven him wrong. He had no choice but to believe it. “What's impossible? You underestimate me too much!” Rabbit snapped furiously. “What’s your name?” Philip stared at the man curiously. He had a feeling that this person was the same as the old monk. “Rabbit, call the old monk over. I want to speak to him. He may not know you, so you need to tell him who you are.” After interrogating this man, Philip wanted to speak to the old monk and find out his opinion about this hooded man. Since the two gave him the same feeling, they had to be connected somehow. Rabbit hopped over to find the old monk. He knew that the old monk was the best referral for this matter because he was very powerful and knowledgeable. The old monk was resting
On the other hand, Lincoln was shocked to find that Hogster was dead. Lincoln had been watching the situation and knew that Philip was a powerful person. Everything was most likely related to Philip. However, he never thought that Philip could make people stronger. He had heard of some special circumstances that could improve someone’s strength. He had roughly guessed the implications but never paid much attention to the matter. In his opinion, the Hexa Guild was already ruined. If he wanted to save the guild, he had to get rid of Alain and his people. Lincoln had lost trust in the guild. If he had not left his seclusion by chance, he would not have bothered about anything. “Forget it. Stop throwing your weight around. Since your son died a tragic death, I won’t make things difficult for you,” Carlos said in disdain.He knew what Alain had done, so he did not have a good impression of him. Although his remark sounded a little hurtful, it felt good to say it. The other guil
“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
