Of course, Philip knew that Nolly would seek revenge, but he was not worried at all. Philip had given Nolly the method to seek revenge before they left. Beating him in the family competition was a good way to take revenge. Philip knew that Nolly had accepted his suggestion and was probably thinking of a plan to deal with him. Seeing everyone looking at him expectantly, Nolly patted his chest. “Don’t worry about it. I have a plan. Since they’re so arrogant, they should be ready for it. We were careless and almost fell into their trap!” Nolly was unwilling to admit that he was not as strong as Ronan. In his opinion, he was at a disadvantage because of his carelessness. No one raised any objection. Since their chief had decided, they just had to follow orders. “I have to say that Philip is quite arrogant!” a man who looked more normal said unhappily. It seemed that he had a different opinion about this incident. “Doffy, what are your thoughts?” Nolly asked curiously. Doffy w
“Ronan, I know you’re unhappy with me, but the family is depending on you!” Cameron had to bite the bullet because he could not think of anyone but Ronan who could win the first prize. “Since I promised you, I’ll take part in the competition,” Ronan said calmly. However, Cameron could not help but feel something strange in his words. Ronan had come up with a plan after a discussion with Philip last night. Ronan was not in favor of helping Cameron because their relationship was so bad that it was not necessary for them to work together anymore. However, Philip had a different opinion. He was certain that the Claude family would put all hopes on Ronan, so he wanted Ronan to set them up. Ronan was not concerned about his reputation because he was not a hypocritical and superficial person. Hence, losing the competition meant nothing to Ronan. In that case, Philip did not want to miss this opportunity. Ronan would take part in the competition as agreed and try his best but witho
“That’s enough. You may leave.” Ronan turned around and returned to Philip's side, unwilling to exchange more fake pleasantries with Cameron any longer. In his opinion, such empty talk was meaningless, and he did not want to say another word to that person. Philip smiled at Ronan’s indifference. “If you want to deal with the deep-sea merfolk, you need to make sure you don’t lose. Acting must be done wholeheartedly. Don’t let anyone realize that you’re acting,” Philip said to Ronan earnestly. Rabbit nodded vigorously. No one was better than him in acting. Ronan suddenly felt a little pressure. “Oh no, the pesky flies are here again.” Ronan frowned unhappily as the patriarchs of the families approached them. “I’m sure they're here for our wine!” Ronan did not want to sell the wine to them. Not to mention how much the wine had improved his strength, Ronan was a drinker himself. He would be left with nothing if they bought all his wine. “Ronan, we’re here again!” “You s
Ronan quickly picked his opponent. He was surprised and wondered if Lady Luck was smiling at him or if the draw was rigged, but he actually picked the deep-sea merfolk right away. Although he wanted to teach them a lesson, he had to carry on with the act too. “Haha, this took no effort at all. Our opponent is Ronan!"Although Ronan is strong, we’re fully prepared this time. No matter how powerful he is, he’ll never escape our clutches!” The deep-sea merfolk sounded very confident, smiling brazenly as if certain of their victory. They had sent their strongest fighter this time. They had planned to reserve this person to deal with Philip, but they faced Ronan instead. Their contestants were not fixed in advance. Under unforeseen circumstances, they could choose a substitute. Therefore, they decided to assign this strongest fighter to face Ronan and Philip. This person’s name was Tangy. Tangy knew that he had to face two opponents, but he was not nervous at all. He hoped that h
Members of the Wagner family nodded vigorously, and even those who were not participating in the competition were excited. Everyone knew that they had to win, whether for the family or their personal honor. The young man taking part in the competition laughed smugly. As a grown man, how could he lose to a child? It would be too embarrassing if he lost! Defeat never crossed his mind, so he immediately sprang into action when the alarm rang. He launched a fierce attack without further ado, trying to end the fight quickly and show the child his powerful strength. However, when he charged at his opponent at full speed, the child was gone! The kid was nowhere to be found as if he had vanished into thin air. “You’re too slow.” A delicate voice sounded from behind him, and the child appeared in front of him. The guy was sent flying out of the battlefield with a kick before he realized what was going on. According to the rules, the fight would be over once one party died or was sent
“That kid is amazing. He must be the descendant of a powerful being!” “You’re right. There’s no way a normal kid can reach that level. I can’t believe that Philip is capable enough to get someone so powerful to work for him!” The deep-sea merfolk were deep in a discussion. They thought Philip was simply lucky, not powerful. “If it weren't for his good luck, he probably wouldn't even make it through the preliminary round!” Before long, the deep-sea merfolk focused on their own battle because they found Tangy retreating repeatedly. Everyone knew how strong Tangy was. As the strongest fighter among them, he could at least fight Ronan to a draw. He could easily crush the losers from other families in a matter of minutes. Despite that, Tangy was unable to handle Ronan, which was simply unbelievable. “What's going on? Is Tangy going to lose?” Nolly was flustered. If Tangy lost, their plan to deal with Philip would be ruined. They planned to get rid of Philip during the fight.
Tangy nodded. He would never show any sign of weakness. Tangy knew that Nolly wanted him to continue the battle against Philip. It was also one of his dreams, so he would never give up so easily. “Don’t worry, leave it to me. I’ll never let Philip leave this place alive. Since we can’t defeat him openly, let’s settle it in private. I believe he’ll fall into our hands eventually,” Tangy said viciously. He thought of a plan to deal with Philip. “But you need to take care of the kid under Philip’s command. He’s so strong that I think he has awakened his latent ability. I don’t think I’m a match for him.” After careful observation, Tangy determined that the kid had awakened his latent ability. Nolly nodded in agreement. It would be embarrassing if they failed to seek revenge. More importantly, they made such a big fuss yesterday and even vowed to deal with Philip. This situation was embarrassing enough already. “Let’s do this…” They discussed privately and quickly decided o
Ferocity flashed in Cameron’s eyes. If Ronan refused, things would be difficult. Cameron would never allow such a strong enemy who had a grudge against the family to stay alive. Anyone who posed a threat to the family would arouse his killing intent. Other family members gathered around and expressed their dissatisfaction with Ronan. “Who does he think he is? Is it beneath him to have lunch with us? He really thinks he's a big shot!” “Does he think we’re unworthy to eat with him? How ridiculous!” Everyone complained and thought Ronan was an arrogant person. Ronan was not bothered about their opinions of him at all. He wished they could treat him as their enemy. “Your performance was quite good. The deep-sea merfolk are probably furious by now,” Philip said with a smile. Ronan's performance was indeed outstanding, and his extraordinary actions humiliated the other party. “They must've decided to mess with you during the finals, but I ruined their plan. I’m sure they’ll
“It’ll take a long time for this little fox to become a human. I think you would've found your other half before that happened.” After exchanging some pleasantries, Philip bade farewell to the shopkeeper and left without further ado. They had to hurry up to find the person Adam was looking for.… Meanwhile, Luther hurried back home unhappily. He never dreamed that he would suffer such humiliation one day. As soon as he returned home, a man greeted him. It was none other than his father, who doted on his son. “What's wrong?” He was surprised to see his son ignoring him. His son was always flashy and arrogant, so his behavior was quite unusual. Luther was in no mood to pay attention to his father. He returned to the room angrily without saying a word. “Guard, what’s going on? Did someone bully my son?” Luther's father, Klein, glared at the guard unhappily, blaming the guard for everything. The guard kneeled in fear and felt sorry for himself. “The young sir was brows
The shopkeeper was clearly relieved by Philip’s remark and direct approach. However, he was also embarrassed by Philip’s bluntness. He smiled at Philip awkwardly as an apology. “Why don’t you recommend a pet for my buddy? It should be a stronger one, preferably a combat type!” Philip glanced at Carlos. He knew that Carlos was too embarrassed to take the initiative. Carlos looked at Philip gratefully, letting out a shy chuckle. The shopkeeper recommended several pets to them. Carlos was dazzled by the sight and wanted them all. Adam looked at the scene with satisfaction. Although he had a high position, he did not have a decent pet either. It was difficult to have a pet in their world. With a wave of his hand, Philip generously bought a pet for each of them. At this time, Philip heard a whine from somewhere. He turned his head curiously and looked for the source of the sound. “What’s that noise?” Philip looked at the shopkeeper in confusion, unable to find the source of
Luther was at a loss for how to react. If the rabbit could speak, it had to be stronger than his pet. Although his pet was very powerful, it was just an ordinary creature that could understand some basic instructions and handle normal interactions. A talking pet was simply to die for. “Wow, how can that monster pet speak? It’s a force to be reckoned with.” Luther was shocked to see a talking pet. It was enviable to have such a powerful monster. Before this, he mocked the rabbit for not having any ability, but the tide had turned. He was almost going crazy with jealousy and wished that he could take the rabbit for himself. “I didn't bring my pet along, so I’m afraid I can’t show it to you. Losers like you don’t deserve to see my pet.” Luther acted full of snobbery and disdain, but he clutched his purse awkwardly. In fact, not only did he bring his pet out, but he had also been ready to show it off at any time. After all, his pet was very powerful and could grow bigger or sma
Philip was annoyed by the guy’s ridicule and simply wanted to keep a distance from him. “I don’t care who you are. I don’t want to pay attention to a loser.” After saying this, Philip could not wait to leave this disgusting place. He felt sick at the sight of the guy’s ugly face. Carlos lost the mood to watch the fun. He shook his head helplessly and turned around to leave. However, that guy was used to getting his way. He did not plan to let them leave in one piece. Anyone who offended him had to die. “Surround him. Don’t let him run away!” The man glared at Philip with disdain, sure that Philip would die. Philip was quickly surrounded by a large group of people. They were angry that Philip dared to go against their boss. “Who are you? Where did you come from? How dare you disobey our boss? Didn't he tell you to stop?” a guard yelled angrily. He was clearly a competent lackey, loudly accusing Philip as if he was going to stand up for his boss. “What are you looking at?
The street was very crowded with not only various pet monsters for sale but also a myriad of pills and techniques, which looked impressive. Philip was happy to see this. This place was clearly better than any other place he had visited before. It was very different from the other places he knew. “This is the place I’ve always wanted to visit.” Philip could not contain his excitement and wanted to bring all his friends and family over. “After finding your crush, I’ll bring all my people over and show them this place.” Rabbit was surprised to hear Philip’s high evaluation of this place. He simply felt that something was unusual about this place, but it was nothing too special. “Don’t miss this great bargain. Our pets are the best. You look unfamiliar. Is this your first time here? I can tell you some things and satisfy your curiosity. I’m sure my goods are nothing you've seen before.” Seeing that Philip and the others did not own a pet monster, the seller kept promoting his g
“You must be referring to the lark people. What do you want with them? They're not to be trifled with. You’ll be in trouble if you mess with them.” Everyone was delighted to hear about the lark people. It was great that someone knew something. Adam was very excited to find a clue as soon as they arrived. He had thought it would take a lot of effort to find something, but reality proved otherwise. “The lark people can be regarded as the overlords here. You can find out about them easily. I'm just an ordinary old woman, so I can't tell you too much. You should approach other people if you want to find out more. Maybe you can find a storyteller. I’m sure they can tell you some very important information.” The old lady was clearly unwilling to disclose anything, so everyone was disappointed. In that case, they could not force her. “Thank you very much. At least you gave us an inkling about what to do. We wouldn’t know so many things if it weren't for you.” Adam thanked the old
“I heard that her family is quite complicated. They seem quite troublesome.” Hearing that, everyone wondered what Adam meant. It seemed that he would face problems in pursuing a relationship with this woman. Carlos looked at Adam awkwardly and sighed. “It doesn't matter. We don’t have to worry about that. Let's just take things one step at a time.” Rabbit calmly drifted around with Philip, feeling quite good. “What's there to worry about? I say the old monk has nothing better to do than worry about trivial matters. It’d be embarrassing if so many of us couldn’t bring a woman back.” Until now, Rabbit felt that the other party was just an ordinary woman, so he did not think that there was anything to worry about. They quickly joined the line to enter the city. To Philip's surprise, there was no entrance fee at all. Moreover, their appearance and attire looked no different from the others. Philip and his friends calmly entered the place, and Philip stood on guard. He had a
Philip felt helpless at the sight of this vast starry sky and suddenly felt that maybe coming here was not the right choice. They arrived without knowing anything about this place, so they might encounter various dangers. “I’m curious about the woman you've been looking for. She must be quite extraordinary,” Philip said curiously, baffled about this matter. Hearing that, Adam shook his head helplessly. He was really clueless about everything. “I only know that I can come here and find her with the key. I don’t even know where she is. We can only search aimlessly in this starry sky.” Philip was dumbfounded by Adam’s incompetence. “I thought we’d be teleported to her home or a fixed location, so I don’t know what’s the deal with this. I have a feeling that I’ve been tricked.” Adam sighed helplessly. “Let's just wander around. I’m sure we can find something somehow,” Carlos comforted Adam, but he was not optimistic about it either. He knew that they probably could not find the
Adam had to reevaluate Philip’s strength. He used to think that Philip was simply the best of his generation. Although powerful, he was not invincible. However, the ability to change certain orders and rules was not something that just anyone had. It would not be far-fetched to call Philip the chosen one favored by the heavens. Philip told Carlos to bury Bryce before forgetting about him. Carlos quickly handled his affairs, packed his bags, and got ready to set off with Philip. Adam also waited for Philip without much luggage on hand. Philip stuffed Rabbit into the Verge Tower space. He had to bring Rabbit along with him or the latter would be up to no good. “Rabbit, stay in Verge Tower and stop bothering me.” Rabbit was upset to hear that he had to stay in Verge Tower but still felt happy that Philip was willing to take him along. “Next, the two of you need to relax. I’ll wrap you with my energy. Don't try to resist or you’ll only end up hurting yourself,” Philip said.
