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
The cynocephaly tried to beg Philip but to no avail, so he had to give up in the end. Brett returned to the cellar at this time. He wanted to pretend to have a good relationship with Philip and take something from him so that he could control the minotaur. Brett felt a gust of wind blowing over him when he arrived at the cellar. He opened the cellar door and looked around in confusion but did not see anything. “That’s strange. What’s that feeling just now?” Brett scratched his head in puzzlement. Although he could not figure it out, he was not bothered. The cellar was not well-ventilated, so it was normal for there to be a gust of wind when the door was opened. He had nothing to worry about. The pitiful prisoners ran out in a panic in their invisible mode. They were worried that they would be discovered, but they quickly realized that no one could see them. Philip's pills were too amazing for words. Everyone etched Philip’s name in their hearts and saw him as their hero
The effects of the pills could last a long time, allowing them to enter the city without restraint and avoid discovery. After hearing the cynocephaly out, Brett trembled with anger. Philip was all to blame! “I knew you had something to do with this!” Brett rushed forward angrily and grabbed Philip by the collar. He had guessed that Philip had something to do with it but not to this extent. “What are the pills you gave them?” Brett had heard of pills but he had never seen the pills that only existed in the legends so far. The cynocephaly shook his head. He wanted to know too. Philip was so stingy and did not give him one. “Get out of my sight. Don’t let me see you again. There won’t be a second chance.” Brett waved his hand angrily and dismissed the ugly cynocephaly. Hearing that, the cynocephaly laughed excitedly. “Great! Thank you!” He lowered his head to Brett before running away. Although his body had been battered beyond recognition, it did not stop him from running.
“Let’s go. Did you hear that something is going on in the Spade family?” “What? How is that possible?” “I can’t believe that anything will happen to the Spade family. I trust them wholeheartedly.” Everyone rushed forward out of curiosity. Although many people expressed their doubt, they could not quell their curiosity. The minotaurs smashed everything in their path as they went through the house, and the scene was shocking. The commotion attracted Heath's attention, and he was puzzled. “What’s going on?” Heath walked out for a look and found a crowd at the door. The onlookers were pointing and watching the excitement taking place at the Heath family's residence. Heath was nothing but confused about this scene. Then, he saw the minotaurs destroying his home. Heath was just a step late when someone destroyed the walls of their house. It was too much, and Heath could not accept it. The minotaurs gradually realized how fun it was to destroy everything and did it happily.
“I heard some appalling news about this family before, but I was afraid of saying it. Now, even the minotaurs can't stand it.” As part of the act, Aslan appeared just in time. With a look of horror on his face, he described the perverse actions of this family in vivid detail as if he had experienced it himself. Lyle staggered out of the crowd, putting on a pitiful act. “I’m one of the prisoners that the minotaurs just rescued. The Spade family is really up to no good. They locked me up because they wanted to turn me into a human puppet. Other than humans, they experimented on other races too.” Lyle spoke about other races and immediately incited public outrage. They could turn a blind eye if this was a matter between humans. After all, no one made contact with humans, but it was a different case if it involved their own. “I’m willing to testify that everything is true.” A rescued prisoner stepped forward. All of them were willing to testify. With Aslan and Lyle adding f
“Get ready. I’ll bring you along to break the barriers later. I believe it won’t be difficult for you to sneak inside.” Adam and Carlos decided to enter the place for a look. No matter what, they had to figure out the situation. No one wanted to cause trouble for no reason. “Since you've decided to go in, I’ll break the barrier for you.” The mayor’s residence was full of barriers. One wrong move and they would be in trouble. Adam and Carlos were surprised to hear Philip’s remark. No one expected to find barriers in this place. “What?” Carlos exclaimed in surprise. “I sense something wrong with this place. We may encounter an accident if we’re not careful.” Adam was better at such things and expressed his helplessness at this scene. “Are you sure you can handle it?” Adam asked cautiously. He was not familiar with this area. Although his practice level was high, he was not knowledgeable in this area. Things like making pills or setting up formations were unknown to him.
Although the city belonged to the lark people, they generally allowed people from other families to reside there. This old woman was obviously not one of the lark people, so she was quite emotional about such things. “This member of the lark family is very powerful with a high status, not someone ordinary people like us can speak about.” Although she said so, she still told Adam everything she knew, catching all his attention. “This is fascinating.” It never occurred to Adam that the person getting married would be the woman he had been thinking about. He just simply thought that it was an event worth celebrating. “Do you know what the woman looks like? Can you describe her appearance to us? I’m quite curious about it,” Philip said with an expectant chuckle. The old woman described the bride’s appearance, but her description was not very credible. She simply said that the bride was very beautiful. “The bride has a bad reputation. It seemed that she went missing for a wh
Renee felt helpless at Carlos’ jibe. He was insufferable. Philip frowned at their brainless banter. “Cut the crap. Don't you see that everyone around you is eavesdropping on you? One wrong word and you’ll expose yourselves.” Visitors were welcomed in this city, but they treated outsiders with caution and would never let them stay for no reason. “I have to say that the lark people are really rich and influential to own such a large city. They must've been around for thousands of years,” Adam said with relief. In his opinion, his lover seemed more mysterious now, most probably the daughter of a big family. He felt like he had won the affection of a rich woman. “In that case, it's even harder for you to marry into a wealthy family. They have very strict requirements for their sons-in-law, and you’ll most likely end up being inferior to a woman. That’s not a good thing.” Carlos shook his head helplessly. They had seen many such cases and knew about the mess. Adam ignored Ca
“You have to believe that the people of this family don’t value feelings at all. Those things are worthless to them.” Renee had been dealing with them for a long time. She knew them very well and hated their behavior. In their opinion, nothing was more important than themselves. They would only cause trouble for others and never value feelings. “No one can say for sure what will happen. Maybe after our relationship, Ashley has changed her mind and decided to be with me.” Adam was still hopeful. In his opinion, he had a chance to win Ashley back. “Since you don't want to believe me, let's give it a try. I want to see how this infamous family will treat you.” Renee arrived in disguise. Since Renee had a big conflict with the lark people, she had to disguise herself. Philip was very good in this area and turned Renee into another person, making sure that no one would recognize her. Adam did not change his looks. He was very satisfied with his appearance and could not wait to
The spokesperson was the grandmaster of the lark people, and he suffered a great blow. After much deliberation, he finally decided to deal with this matter properly. The woman who had embarrassed the lark people had to die. He had thought they could get rid of the woman easily, but she was very good at hiding. Now that so many years had passed, he was no longer keen on pursuing the matter anymore. Unexpectedly, someone used this incident to mock his family today. This time, he vowed to get rid of that woman even if he had to deploy all the forces of the family. At least, they could not allow the reputation of the lark people to be tarnished. “Send someone to find the whereabouts of that woman. You have to capture her alive at all costs. I want to execute her in public,” he ordered his shadow guards to take action. No matter what, the lark people had to right the wrong. The scouts of the lark people quickly got to work. As professionals, they knew what to do. Renee had been
“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
