“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
Ronan gave Philip a thumbs-up as everyone returned to their meals. His words really carried some weight to command these people with just a casual remark. Philip was unfazed by the compliment. He was staring at a person. To be precise, he was looking at a curtain where a woman behind the curtain was staring at Philip too. She was the owner of this diner, and she was not a human but of a humanoid race. She had the upper body of a human, which was very beautiful and attractive. Anyone would be attracted by her beauty with just one glance. However, she had the lower body of a snake. The diners would turn their heads from time to time and look at the curtain as if trying to catch a glimpse of that woman. A gust of wind would ruffle the curtain from time to time, allowing everyone to see the woman’s face and marvel at her beauty from the bottom of their hearts. Philip sneered at their reaction. They were really stupid for not realizing that she was half-human with a snake’s tail.
“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
