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
“That guy is such an idiot,” Philip said. Philip swallowed a pill and joined the crowd that was making an uproar. With the pill, he was sure that no one could detect his true identity. Brett quickly rushed to the scene and was shocked by the commotion. “What’s going on?” Brett asked his father nervously. Heath told Brett everything that happened. He had lost his composure and could only leave the rest to his son. “You told them about the demon invasion?” Brett exclaimed in disbelief. They had agreed to conceal this matter. After all, they wanted to develop themselves, and they could also blame the appearance of the human puppets on the demons. Brett had planned to use the demons to catch the others off guard and take advantage of the situation thereafter. That would not only enhance his strength but he would also reap many benefits. However, all his plans were ruined. Not only was he unable to cause trouble, but he was the one in trouble instead. “Stop acting dumb. Te
The Spade family’s bad reputation was finally confirmed. Philip was indifferent about this outcome. He knew that the Spade family would be ruined one day. He simply brought the day forward. He had not planned to deal with the Spade family, but they kept messing with him. Not only did they plant a puppet around him to monitor him all day long, but they also wanted to turn him into a puppet. Philip would never let this evil villain off. Aslan had the most fun fighting. He still felt a lingering fear at the thought of Hercules’ terrifying face. Hercules not only attacked Aslan but also put him under various illusions. The fearless Aslan was frightened by Hercules, and it embarrassed him to no end. At this time, Maven walked out of her room but showed no surprise at this scene. Brett nervously called out to Maven for help, “Maven, come here. These people have gone crazy. Stop them. Don't let them wreck the cellar!” Someone pushed Brett by accident. He lost his balance and f
After a period of recovery, Maven’s condition was much better than these losers. “Everyone must be responsible for their own actions, including you.” Everyone scowled at Maven. “What do you mean? Are you going to turn your back against the Spade family?” Heath asked vehemently, unhappy with his daughter. Maven was very talented and outstanding in all aspects, but she was a woman. Brett, who Heath held in high regard, was not as capable as Maven, and his overall qualities seemed inferior to Maven, but he was the eldest son of the family. As a man who favored boys over girls, Heath was very unhappy about it. Unfortunately, Maven also displayed her desire for power when she was a child, which gave him a sense of crisis. Heath knew that Brett would become the heir of the Spade family one day. It would be bad if Maven performed better than him. However, Maven disagreed. She always believed that the strongest person should take charge of the family. So, over the years, Mave
“Do you want revenge?” Hearing that, Brett looked up at the source of the sound. He saw a weird specter floating in the garden. He quickly recognized the other party's identity at a glance. It was a demon. Heath and Brett were startled at this scene. It felt like rubbing salt in their wounds. They were already suffering, but a demon was watching the fun. “Demons will never defeat humans!” Brett shook his head helplessly. He knew what the demons were capable of. They had not made puppets to deal with the demons but simply to enhance the strength of the family. “You really underestimate us.” The demon was still floating in the air. He waved his hand, and a burst of light fell. Instantly, the wounds on Brett and Heath were healed. In fact, Maven did not know how to maim a practitioner at all. She thought it was just a matter of breaking their arms and legs!Therefore, Heath's and Brett’s broken arms and legs were quickly healed. Their energy core was not damaged at all. A
Philip knew that Ariadna had taken things too far. Although she seemed sorry about what happened, she never explained Rabbit’s incident. She did not apologize or take any action but simply tried to please Philip. Moreover, she did not carry it out until the end. Philip never cared about such short-sighted people. “Philip, you’re such a nice guy. Don’t worry. After this is over, I’ll teach them a lesson. It’s best if I can take them under my wing! It’d be spectacular if I could go out riding a few spiders!” Rabbit said with a smug smile as if he was already the lord of the spiders. Philip shuddered at Rabbit’s description and felt goosebumps all over his skin. “What weird fetish is that?” Philip was terrified at the thought of riding a spider under him. Although practitioners would find various monsters as mounts, who would choose such an ugly mount? Maybe demonic practitioners would prefer spiders. After all, it was a sight to behold. They might find it cool to scare others.
“What has it got to do with you? Anyway, I settled it. We just need to head out,” Arachne grumbled, fully displaying her annoyance. The others simply followed orders without a word. No one cared who was the person in charge. They just wanted to reach the ancestral land smoothly, figure out the secrets of their family and themselves, and most importantly, break the curse so that they could live a normal life. No one wanted to carry this terrible curse for the rest of their lives. At everyone’s silence, Arachne became more arrogant. “Ariadna, you should stop fighting me.” Ever since she pretended to reach a deal with Philip, Arachne became arrogant and did not take Ariadna seriously at all. After all, she knew that Ariadna would not question Philip about it, so she could say whatever she wanted. Philip and the others slowed down on purpose so that the spider people could keep up. He knew that the so-called mysterious ancestral land had to be full of danger. If he did not want
Philip was surprised to hear that Selma had a younger brother.Soon, a young lad walked out from the kitchen. Ronan looked like a burly man next to him. “Hello, I’m Selma’s younger brother, Cavin. It’s my pleasure to set out with you.” His words made him seem more immature. “In that case, we’ll set off after a meal.” After saying that, Philip sat down for a meal with his men. As humans, eating was a must at this time of the day. “Philip, the spider people have been watching us from behind,” Cavin whispered to Philip. Philip was surprised that Cavin was keen enough to discover Arachne, who had been hiding in the distance watching them. “I’m known for my observation. Although my ability isn’t that strong, nothing much can escape my observation.” Cavin smiled in shy modesty. Philip shook his head with a smile at Cavin’s shy reaction. “Don’t worry about those losers. They want to use us as cannon fodder to help them explore the ancestral land, but no one can guarantee who will
“Let’s go. There’s no point in staying. As one of the four unique races, others will only laugh at our embarrassment. Don’t act like the frog in a well.” After saying that, Ariadna took the lead to leave, but the others pouted as if they disagreed with her statement. “Let’s stop listening to Ariadna. We won’t have any problem if you listen to me from now on. Everything will be fine once I get the ancestral land back for us.” Arachne started brainwashing everyone. Arachne would take the credit if they gained anything, and she had to find a way to get all of Ariadna’s glory. Besides, Ariadna would die in a few days anyway. Ariadna would have no choice but to die once she failed to get Rabbit. Ariadna felt very somber and remained silent along the way. Ariadna used to be a carefree and vivacious woman, but something changed ever since she met Philip. She lost that free-spirited energy but felt irritable instead as if something was going to happen.… On the other hand, Philip
“Since you’re so confident, I don’t mind telling you that we’ll set off once the family competition is over. It’s best if you can keep up. If not, don’t blame us.” After saying this, Philip turned and left, winking at Selma in the process. Selma nodded and asked the butler to show the spider people out. They were not her friends, so there was no need for them to stay. The spider people were enjoying the rich energy when someone asked them to leave. “What’s going on?” “Why chase us away for no reason? There's so much energy. Just let us practice here. I’m willing to pay for it!” Everyone howled in misery. They were keen to stay and hoped they could live there permanently. Ariadna was embarrassed by their spineless behavior. However, Ariadna was curious about Arachne's conversation with Philip. It seemed that the discussion did not go well or they would not have been chased away. Arachne glared at Selma angrily, shocked that she would kick them out. She was unwilling to
“You have quite a temper. I’ll speak to him, then!” Arachne was annoyed by Ariadna’s attitude. Arachne glared at her with disdain and walked away. Arachne knew that she could gain a good status if she handled this well. It was something she had been longing for. Besides, Ariadna was clearly afraid of offending Philip, so she would do it on her behalf. Ariadna would lose all hope if Philip fell out with them. If Philip agreed to work with them, she would claim the credit and make a mark in their history. Arachne was very excited at this thought. Philip watched them talking and could tell what they said through the shapes of their mouths. They were clearly having an internal dispute. Unexpectedly, the annoying Arachne approached them at this time. “Wow, I can’t believe that you’re one of the snake people. We come from the same origins!” Arachne’s sudden friendly approach made Selma uncomfortable. “Excuse me, I don’t know you that well. Just speak your mind. We spoke to
Ariadna gritted her teeth. She could not decide this. She had to discuss it with her family. “Hold on, let me discuss with the elders of our family. After all, it’s a matter of great importance. I can’t decide by myself.” Philip smiled in understanding. This matter was indeed very important. It was reasonable for Ariadna to discuss it with her family. Ariadna returned to the crowd nervously and woke up the people deep in practice. They were taking advantage of someone else’s treasured land. Although their strength had improved by leaps and bounds, it was embarrassing. “I need to discuss something with you. Do you think we should work with Philip? They plan to explore our ancestral land.” Ariadna explained the situation without beating about the bush. Everyone was stunned and thought she was kidding. “What? Someone is planning to go to the ancestral land?” “Philip is too bold for words. What makes him think that he can return alive? Everyone knows that the place is extre
“It’d be great if we could undo our curse. I believe all of us will be grateful to you!” Ariadna rushed forward impatiently and looked at Selma expectantly. In her opinion, Selma had to know something or she would never say such a thing. “I asked Philip to help me open the ancestral land. He promised me that he'd take action after the family competition is over.” Ariadna was taken aback and doubted her ears. She never thought that Selma would put her hopes on an outsider. Although Philip was indeed powerful and seemed like a reliable person, it was a family secret that should not be made known to others. Ariadna was conflicted and at a loss for what to do. “Whether you agree with my approach or not, it’s done, so there’s no point in saying further. Every race has the right to unlock the ancestral land. You can’t stop me.” Every family shared the same concern, but Selma felt she should believe and trust Philip. Philip smiled and shook his head at Ariadna’s hesitation. Sure e
“Your friend seems unhappy with you,” Philip said aloud without mincing his words. Ariadna felt embarrassed upon hearing that. It was a conflict within their clan, so it was embarrassing for an outsider like Philip to point it out. At this time, Selma walked out and looked at the crowd in confusion, wondering why Philip brought them to her home. However, Philip had to have his reason for doing it. Selma did not ask but stood next to Philip like an obedient girl. Ariadna was jealous at this scene. An outstanding man like Philip was rare. Everyone wanted to stand by his side. “She wanted to see you, so I brought her. Although I don't know what you have to talk about, you should have a chat. “I can help you solve the problem of not absorbing Rabbit’s energy, but you need to give me something in return. I can't help you for no reason. After all, we have nothing to do with each other.” After saying that, Philip left the space for Selma and Ariadna. Although they were not of the
