Anyone with any ideas could only shake their heads helplessly after hearing Philip’s remarks. At the same time, they were amazed by the ring’s function. “Wow, that’s great. The person who made this thing must be a genius!” Cameron clapped his hands excitedly. Of course, he was worried that someone would steal his treasure. After all, owning a treasure was a sin in itself. It was inevitable for others to covet his treasure. It would be bad if they attacked him because of greed. With Philip’s explanation, his trouble would be reduced. “That sounds amazing.” The patriarch of the Lamy family seemed dissatisfied. He had some crooked thoughts too. With their family’s financial resources, they could not buy so many rings, so he planned to steal the other two as well. He was not that stupid to steal from Philip, so he could only set his sights on the other major families. Everyone wanted the rings anyway. As long as he refused to admit it, no one would know that he was guilty.
As the major families were focused on the discussion, Ronan opened a bottle of wine and drank leisurely. He knew that they would reach a conclusion very soon. The fragrance of Ronan’s wine wafted out when the bottle was uncorked. People of the major families were caught in a heated discussion and had no time to worry about the source of that smell. However, people of the small families had been excluded from the discussion, so their attention was caught. “Do you smell that? What's that scent? I think it’s a very special blend of wine!” “The Wagner family has been making fine wine for many years, but we've never come across such a strong fragrance. I think anyone who can have a taste of that wine will feel good enough to experience heaven!” “Look, Ronan is drinking over there.” Hearing that, everyone looked in Ronan's direction curiously. Sure enough, he was the only one drinking, so the smell had to be from him. Ronan ignored them. Of course, he knew that the intense smel
The patriarch of the Lamy family scowled upon hearing Ronan’s remark. Before he could respond, Ronan added, “Your strength is too low to handle the effects of this wine. You might die of self-combustion. I'm doing this for your own good. “Do you think such a good wine has no medicinal effects? That’s impossible. The energy contained in it is beyond your imagination. You need to reach a certain level to drink this wine. Philip has better wine on hand, but even I don’t have the right to drink it. Do you think it's because my relationship with Philip isn’t good enough?” Ronan was not a person to claim credit for himself. He knew that Philip had given him everything, so he should treat Philip better. Ronan gave Philip all the credit. Everyone stared at Philip and Ronan, amazed by such a good treasure. As a family that specialized in wine-making, the Wagner family had a good understanding of this topic, so they could say a few words about it. “He's right. The stronger the wine, th
“Why do I have a feeling that you’re up to no good? Tell me what happened.” Rabbit would usually behave so smugly after doing something he was proud of, which was what made Philip question him. Rabbit laughed complacently. Philip knew him so well. “I did something good this time! The small families didn’t know anything about storage space, and those nasty people working at the registration counter didn’t show them any respect either! They tried to chase me away when I registered for the competition earlier because they thought I was a pushover. I beat them up and registered on behalf of the small families too!” Philip shook his head helplessly. Sure enough, Rabbit was always up to no good. He even sought justice for others this time. “Just don’t cause trouble and I’ll turn a blind eye.” Philip was not afraid that Rabbit would mess with some powerful enemies; he just didn't want trouble to come knocking. “By the way, Philip, I saw a race called the deep-sea merfolk in the
At this time, Rabbit hopped up to those ugly creatures. “Are you looking for me?” Rabbit wiggled his tail in smug disdain. After sizing Rabbit up, the deep-sea merfolk were surprised to discover that this was the person they were looking for. “Yes, I can sense the tracker on him!” “I can’t believe that the culprit is a damned rabbit!” They rushed over fiercely to kill Rabbit. However, Rabbit was so nimble that they were powerless against him. “You!” They glared daggers at Rabbit, furious over the fact that they could see him but could not reach him. They wanted to catch this rabbit and give it a good beating to teach it a lesson instead of letting it go scot-free. “No, the tracker on this rabbit is very weak. It should be someone else. I think this rabbit is just the other party's pet!” one of them exclaimed in horror. At the thought that someone else was lurking behind the scenes, they thought this was a huge conspiracy and they had to watch out. Rabbit looked at t
Although these creatures lived an easier life than humans, their reproduction ability was not as good as humans', and their thinking was not as meticulous as humans', so they could be easily deceived. That was the reason why only certain humanoids would choose to live in human cities. Other races were too simple and kind to deal with humans, who would always deceive them at every turn. The deep-sea merfolk would never set foot in a human city because they knew that humans were powerful and liked to trade with them. Humans yearned for products from the sea, but they could not enter the depths of the sea, so they were forced to trade with them. The deep-sea merfolk were smart enough to realize this, so they set a high price for their products. Relatively speaking, they took advantage of the humans. After all, humans had no other channels to get such things, but the deep-sea merfolk had the unique advantage of monopolizing the market, so they could set the price at will. That
“We’re here to find the murderer who killed our clansmen. It’ll be great if you can hand him over without a fuss, and our ongoing cooperation will definitely become better, but it’ll be difficult if you’re unwilling to cooperate.” Nolly frowned as a warning to Sadie. Sadie was puzzled, wondering what murderer the other party was talking about. As far as Sadie knew, the family members had not been involved in any mess recently. “I don’t think our family members have done anything recently.” Sadie did not invite the deep-sea merfolk into the house. She might get into trouble with the family if she let them in for no reason, and she could forget about living a good life again. “I'm looking for a rabbit and its owner. They said they’re staying at your place and we’re welcome to mess with them at any time. Are you going back on your word now? Since they’re staying here, they must have a close relationship with you. It’ll be interesting if you’re trying to protect them.” Nolly was fu
“Go through that passage and try not to alert anyone. Just get rid of him quietly!” Nolly nodded. Since Sadie was giving him this convenience, he would not make things difficult. He led his people to the house. After getting Philip’s exact location, he just had to go there. Ronan was drinking when he felt that something was wrong. “Philip, I have a feeling that someone is coming for us and wants to kill us! That killing intent is very strong!” Ronan looked around warily. Since drinking Philip’s wine, Ronan’s strength had increased significantly. Philip and Rabbit remained calm as if they had already expected this. “Don’t worry about some troublemakers. I believe they’ll be here soon,” Philip said calmly. He swaggered into the garden and finally decided not to destroy this place after looking at the surroundings. After all, this was where Ronan’s mother used to live, a place of memorial significance for Ronan. He would probably feel bad if this place was destroyed. “I’ll
“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
