“Have you ever seen a spider woman?” Ronan tried to scare the waiter. He hated such people who lost their minds because of superficial looks. There was no point for them to continue living. The waiter frowned and looked into the distance. He had contacted the owner of the tavern, but he was not here yet! “Forget it. Let’s go.” Philip wanted to find out more about the spider woman, so he urged everyone to leave. Staying would only cause unnecessary trouble. Everyone agreed and turned away from that foolish waiter. The waiter was very angry at this scene and wanted to attack Philip. Someone noticed his reaction and reminded him, “As a waiter, I’m surprised that you’re bold enough to speak so rudely to him.” “It seems that I’ve underestimated your guts.” “I think you’re lucky to stay alive. Alas, you should listen to more gossip when you have time!” Everyone sighed and agreed that the waiter was very lucky. Indeed, the waiter was not updated with recent gossip. He had
The waiter was very scared and wanted to beg for mercy. “Oh no, I offended that person this time! Please help me out. How can I ask for his forgiveness?” This world followed the laws of the jungle. He felt that he was in danger of dying. Everyone sneered and ignored him. The waiter’s mistake had nothing to do with them.… As the waiter suffered a mental breakdown, Philip returned to Selma's residence. Selma and her people had been doing business in this place for a while. Although they had not found someone to help them solve the crisis, they still made a lot of money. Philip sighed in amazement at the sight of her luxurious house. “I can’t believe your good taste. This house is luxurious at first glance. Ordinary people won't appreciate such a place.” Philip was not referring to the luxurious decoration style but the materials used. Philip sensed an energy-gathering formation too. An energy-gathering formation was a lost art whether in this world or other worlds. Alth
The others were not so quick on the uptake and were still thinking about the spider woman. “Selma, since you know that spider woman, maybe you can tell us more about her.” Philip went straight to the point. “In return, I’ll modify your energy-gathering formation.” Selma nodded at the suggestion. “No problem, I’ll tell you what I know.” Hearing that, Philip waved at the open space in front of him, uprooting the energy-gathering formation that was buried underground. Everyone was stunned by the sight, especially the butler, who almost went crazy. It never occurred to him that Philip would so easily dig out the energy-gathering formation they had worked so hard to hide. “What the hell?” He looked at Philip in horror, shocked by his action. Philip shook his head. “This so-called energy-gathering formation is so indiscreet that it even has a solid entity. Are you inviting others to steal it?” Philip calmly manipulated the energy-gathering formation, which soon vanished from th
Philip gathered some important information through the exchange and knew that the spider woman would come after him. She had absorbed a small part of Rabbit's abilities, which left some traces of Rabbit in her. If she could not fully absorb Rabbit's abilities, she could not stay alive. “She has a week to look for Rabbit. If she fails, she dies.” Philip relaxed. He was still thinking about how to find that spider. It was great to know that she would have no choice but to come to him now. Even if she turned up at the door, however, Philip would not kill her for the time being. He was quite interested in this mysterious race and wanted to find out more about it. Even if he wanted to kill her, he would do it after making things clear. “Although I don't know where you took Rabbit, I can no longer sense his presence. If you don’t bring Rabbit out, I’m afraid that woman won’t know where to find you.” Philip was exasperated to hear how useless that woman was. If he had known abou
Philip was quite interested in the token and knew that he had to get hold of one to find out more. Selma and her people were pretty good, so Philip was embarrassed to take the token away from them. Philip had no choice but to put all his hopes on Ariadna. She had to pay a price for messing with him and Rabbit. That price was to let Philip study the token. Philip and the others stayed with Selma for the time being. The Claude family was very anxious, but Philip and his team showed no signs of having anything to do with them. Ronan did not speak to them about the competition at all. The deep-sea merfolk followed Philip and arrived at Selma’s house. They were much smarter than Ariadna and left a trace on Philip instead. Philip did not remove the trace but kept it instead. He wanted them to find him. He was not afraid of trouble. He felt that the deep-sea merfolk were quite interesting, and messing with them could relieve his boredom. “Chief, we have been waiting for so l
Patriarch Moore hoped that Ronan would turn against the Claude family so that the Moores would have a chance of winning the match. However, that hope was very slim. Representing the family in the competition meant that they had reached an agreement beforehand. If Ronan was going to violate the agreement, he would not have taken part in the first place. The Moore family members were in despair. They knew that they would not only lose the match but also suffer humiliation from the Claude family. What a letdown. “Haha, just enjoy the humiliation. Everyone knows how weak you are. You entered the finals simply because your last opponent was in poor health. You could never have gotten here if he were in peak condition!” Cameron was full of smug disdain as if the other party was a nobody. Patriarch Moore was in low spirits. He looked ahead without another word, hoping for a miracle and a blessing. At the signal, the match began. Ronan glanced at Gulf excitedly. “Hey dude, are
“Something must be wrong somewhere. That guy must have used some underhanded tricks to harm my contestant, resulting in that outcome. My contestant is very strong. There’s no way that guy can deal with him!” In Cameron’s opinion, this problem was very serious. He even suspected that Gulf used some prohibited drugs that rendered Ronan unable to fight. Anyway, he could not accept this result. At this time, Ronan slowly stood up and smiled at the referee. He stepped forward to clarify the situation. “Don’t let your thoughts run wild. He didn’t do anything to me. He defeated me because I was careless. I have to say that this young man is very strong—good enough to defeat me, at least.” Since the person in question had spoken, there was no room for denial, so the result was concluded. The referee shrugged, accepting Ronan’s statement. All the Claude family members were furious that Ronan would say such a thing. They had lost the competition without a doubt!… In the meantime,
Arachne was very unhappy with the outcome, which resulted in her resentment toward the new holy maiden, Ariadna. Ariadna was aware of it, so she never showed Arachne any respect. As a vindictive woman, Ariadna was no pushover either. “Since no one asked for your help, you should go home and just marry someone. Maybe you’ll have a chance to live a good life,” Ariadna mocked Arachne. The matter of Arachne’s former lover was taboo. Everyone knew that Arachne would lose her temper at the mention of this person or start hitting people to vent her frustration, so no one had mentioned it for a while, let alone talk about it in front of Arachne. However, Ariadna always did whatever she wanted. Seeing Arachne’s annoying face, she wanted to provoke her even more. Sure enough, her plan worked, and Arachne was so furious that she almost lost her mind. “Just you wait! To be frank, I’m just here to watch the fun. I want to see who can deal with you!” Arachne said viciously. Everyone kn
Meanwhile, backstage at Moon Tavern, the waiter was telling the woman singing on stage earlier about what had happened in the private room. The woman was full of disbelief, thinking the waiter was lying. “Don’t try to bluff me. How could anyone resist my attack?” The woman wore a veil on her face and looked very mysterious. Only the woman knew how disgusting she looked when she was not performing or casting spells. Covering her face was the best choice. The waiter told her what happened and described the state Philip and the others were in earlier. Although two people were affected, it was a problem because one person had remained conscious.They would face a lot of problems if other people discovered their tricks. The woman's tricks were extraordinary. Even a powerful person with superb strength would find it difficult to get rid of her attack. These so-called strong experts would only end up falling for her trick. At this time, the storyteller went on stage, and he was t
Philip nodded. “Do I have to order something else?” A hint of realization flashed in Philip’s eyes. He realized what was going on. The woman had the ability to bewitch the customers by affecting their thinking and emotions through singing and inducing them into spending money. She exuded a special charm to attract the customers even though she looked ordinary. In their minds, she was an unattainable goddess. Everyone saw a different woman in their minds but charming nonetheless, tempting them to spend money on her even though it would cost them all their fortune. However, Philip was different. He could control his emotions very well, so this woman had almost no influence on him. He realized this problem when he first heard that mysterious song. The waiter scowled and finally left the private room in horror after much deliberation. Philip did not say anything at his hasty departure. The woman quickly left the stage after playing her zither, and the bewitched customers
“Something is wrong. I find that woman a little weird.” Hearing that, they were curious to find out how Philip concluded that. “Although she’s not that good-looking, I don’t think she’s weird. What do you think is wrong with her?” Carlos said in puzzlement, wondering why Philip felt that this woman was weird. “The woman seems to have a fatal attraction to the male customers. It’s a scary ability to make these men flock to her.” It was weird that a woman with average looks could attract so many men. No one would believe that she had a strong appeal. “Welcome to Moon Tavern. I’ll be singing a song for you today. I hope you like it.” The woman's delicate voice rang, and everyone felt relaxed and happy. Even Philip felt that this voice was very charming, like the sound of nature ringing in his ears. However, Philip was not a fool. He keenly sensed something wrong with the situation. Nothing would be charming enough to attract him. For it to happen meant that something was wro
“Give us three pots of tea. We don’t need anything else. Thank you.” Philip did not order anything else. In his opinion, he was just here to find information, so his money should be spent on things that mattered the most. The waiter rolled his eyes at the order and seemed to look down on Philip. “Customers, are you sure you only want a few pots of tea? We have many snacks too,” the waiter said in disdain. Carlos was more concerned about his image, so he was shocked by the waiter’s obvious disdain. “Yes, we only need a pot of tea each. We want to have a taste first.” Adam's attitude was much better, speaking with a friendly smile on his face. Even if the waiter was angry, he could do nothing about it. The waiter left cursing under his breath. He thought that they were big customers, but they did not even give him a tip. Philip glanced at the waiter helplessly. Even waiters were so arrogant nowadays. Philip and the others were quickly served three pots of tea. The pots
Philip was not afraid at all. He knew that someone would target him, but they were just losers. They might be influential, but they were nothing in his eyes. He did not want to cause trouble, but it did not mean he would let anyone insult him. Philip and the others quickly found a tavern that looked quite high-end. “This place looks interesting.” Philip found the various decorations quite novel and knew it would not be cheap. “I don’t think it’s so easy to find any important information here. Just look at the customers and you’ll know that we’ll spend a bomb,” Carlos marveled at the price tag. Adam looked at the menu curiously and was quickly surprised to see how expensive it was for a pot of tea. “A pot of tea costs thousands of crystals?” Adam almost had a meltdown at the price. “Look at the requirements stated on the menu. Each person has to order a minimum of a pot of tea. Anything less than that and we’re not welcomed.” Adam shook his head helplessly and suddenly
“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?
