“This is embarrassing. Patriarch, please stop talking. Their mockery will only get nastier!” “Things are bad enough. Don’t make it worse!” The Claude family left in a panic. Since they had lost the competition, there was no point in staying. Seeing everyone’s reaction, Cameron felt that his effort was meaningless. He snorted coldly and fled, refusing to think about his embarrassment. Philip laughed at his disgrace. Ronan had achieved his objective and fulfilled his wish. More importantly, the Claude family was ruined, not only losing their place of residence but also their reputation. After the Claude family left in disgrace, they bumped into the spider people who just arrived. The spider people were wandering around, finding the place very interesting. Everyone wanted to stay and refused to leave. Cameron was in a bad mood and did not pay attention to them. Coincidentally, Arachne and Sadie bumped into each other. Sadie was annoyed by this incident. She was reprima
Everyone was shocked to hear that Philip was the woman’s boss. Ariadna heard their names, but she never thought a random person they met on the street would be Philip’s subordinate. It was too much of a coincidence. When they wanted to find out more, the woman had disappeared, and everyone was annoyed. Although she had run off, they managed to get a lead. “We just need to go there to find Philip,” Webster said, easing the atmosphere. Arachne and Ariadna were at loggerheads, which was not conducive to unity. Now that they had a common enemy, they had to put other affairs aside and deal with the enemy. “Huh, what are you talking about? Common enemy? I just want to see what he looks like. Who knows if she was telling the truth? Besides, I just want to mess with that ugly woman, not the boss behind her!” Although Arachne was a little arrogant, she was sensible enough to perceive the situation. Others did not comment. Now that they knew Philip’s location, there was no need to
It would be great if the Wagner family could make a name for themselves in the following competition, so they wanted to please Philip. “I’m not interested in training other people’s men.” Philip declined the other party’s request. At this time, Ronan approached Philip excitedly. “I sense that woman’s presence.” Philip nodded. He felt it too. That spider woman was fast approaching them. “She should take on a human form while we’re in a human city,” Philip muttered to himself. He was afraid that she would transform at the slightest disagreement. Although Philip was not opposed to spiders, he could not imagine what the spider woman looked like in her true form. She should be much more terrifying than he imagined. Meanwhile, the spider people arrived at the scene and saw Philip standing in the crowd at a glance. Philip's appearance was so stunning that Ariadna recognized him from a distance. “The most handsome man standing in the crowd is Philip, who's our target this tim
However, Philip treated the rabbit with such nonchalance, which filled them with envy. “Are you here for this rabbit?” Philip was puzzled. In his opinion, there was nothing special about Rabbit. Therefore, he wondered why Ariadna wanted Rabbit at the cost of her life. Although he did not have a good impression of Ariadna, he still felt that it was not worth it. Ariadna stared at Philip without answering his question because her actions should say it all. She would not bother to please him if it were not for the rabbit. “I know you’re very interested in Rabbit, but he’s my friend. I won’t let you take him for no reason.” Philip gave her a side-eye and marveled at her audacity. “As far as I know, what you mentioned about absorbing his energy is simply killing him in a different way.” Philip glanced at her in exasperation. Since she was clearly going to kill Rabbit, how could he hand Rabbit to her? Ariadna turned her head away in shame. Indeed, the creatures would die after lo
Arachne was baffled by their bizarre interaction. “Hey, tell me what’s going on. Do you have a connection with that woman?” Ronan pinned Arachne down when she finished speaking. A kid sucking a lollipop stood next to Philip, watching everything curiously. The spider people were angry to see Ronan pinning Arachne down and swarmed forward, ready to teach Philip a lesson. Some people set their sights on the kid. In their opinion, the kid had to be very important for Philip to keep him by his side. Thus, one guy rushed up and grabbed the kid sucking a lollipop, feeling proud of himself. “Let go of our people or we’ll show you what misery is!” In his opinion, the kid was probably Philip’s son. No one would let their kid get hurt, so Philip would definitely give in to their request. Just when he thought his plan would definitely succeed, Philip shrugged. “You’re so dumb. You might as well grab Rabbit from me.” The kid probably felt some pain, so he was very annoyed. With the lo
“Okay, since you’re willing to talk to us, we’ll oblige. I have many questions for you!” Ariadna was very excited. If possible, she wanted to avoid a fight too. She was also curious about the woman who appeared next to Philip earlier. Although Ariadna did not know her background, she found her strange. The woman gave Ariadna a sense of familiarity, as if they had the same origin. “I want to meet the woman who was with you earlier.” Ariadna looked at Philip expectantly, expressing her interest. “Why do you want to meet her?” Philip was puzzled and surprised by her request. “I sense something familiar about her.” Unlike Selma, Ariadna did not recognize the other's identity and had no idea where she came from. “Come with me. You’ll see her soon.” Philip smiled and led Ariadna to Selma’s place. Selma was quietly waiting for Philip and was so hung up that she did not run her business. The diners who wanted to catch a glimpse of Selma at all costs felt a great blow. At this tim
“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
“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
“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
The Hexa Guild also claimed that they would kill anyone from the Celestial Palace. Although upset, no one dared to say anything in the face of the other party’s strength. It would be embarrassing if they could not live up to their claims if they retorted now. Moreover, the battle was a matter of life and death. Everyone was risking their lives. The Celestial Palace had the confidence to face the Hexa Guild now. They believed that they could turn the situation around with their strength or at least show them what they could do. There would be a battle between the two parties in the afternoon, which was the best time to show off their strength. The young lady of the Celestial Palace would be the one contending. After improving her strength, Vanna was full of confidence and vowed to give her opponent a fatal blow or at least let them know how powerful she was. Ronan was nervous. He was not worried about his wife but worried that the Hexa Guild would take things too far. Those
It could be considered returning the favor. Jamie shook his head helplessly. He knew Philip’s kind intentions, but this matter was not so simple. “I know that your wine can improve someone’s strength, but it’s no help to us right now!” The overall strength of the Hexa Guild had increased so much that it went beyond anyone’s comprehension. Carlos turned up at this time. He wanted to talk to Philip about this matter, but Jamie beat him to it. “My friends just told me that the Hexa Guild is hellbent on dealing with everyone, not only us. Anyone up against them will be killed. They must be insane to face any guilds without fear!” Philip was intrigued. They could not be so confident for no reason. They must have encountered an opportunity. “Maybe they encountered an opportunity. I can't be sure about this, but I can at least provide you something to ensure that nothing happens to your people.” After saying this, Philip handed Jamie some pills. Philip was very confident about
It was very suspicious that a bunch of losers became so strong all of a sudden. “Philip, don’t you think something is wrong? I have a feeling that the Hexa Guild did something,” Jamie asked bluntly with mixed feelings about it. There was clearly something wrong with the Hexa Guild. Philip nodded. He had been watching the competition carefully. He could see that these people’s strength had just been improved, and their foundation was not very stable. “Don't think too much. There is a problem with them, and it’s not small either. From the looks of it, they must've taken something that can quickly improve their strength. However, their skills and combat experience can't keep up, so they can only barely manage it.” Philip shook his head helplessly. At this rate, even the members of the Celestial Palace would suffer. Moreover, the Hexa Guild held a big grudge against the Celestial Palace. Once they met, it would definitely be a life-and-death battle. “What should we do? All th
“You should prepare for the competition.” Philip turned and left after saying that. Everyone felt angry at his domineering appearance. Some people had ideas about Philip. “Which guild does Philip belong to?” a man with a sinister face asked angrily. He wanted to know which guild Philip belonged to so that he could go all out to target Philip's guild. Others shook their heads. No one knew much about Philip. At this time, a spy from the Hexa Guild stepped forward. He looked at the man flatteringly and provided all the information he knew. “Philip doesn't belong to any guild, but he’s an honorary elder of the Celestial Palace!” The fact that Philip became an honorary elder of the Celestial Palace had not been made public. Only people keeping a close eye on the Celestial Palace knew about it. The Hexa Guild had always wanted to deal with the Celestial Palace, so they had been keeping a close eye on the latter. They knew all the minor details. The man scowled as if he did
“I can explore the secret realm on your behalf, but why do you think she’d appear there?” Although Philip could not figure it out, maybe the old monk had his reason for saying that. “I’ll explore the secret realm after the guild competition is over. If I can find the woman you’re looking for, I’ll think of a way.” In fact, Philip would rather take the old monk with him. He did not know what the woman looked like, so it was better for the old monk to do it himself. “Sure!” The old monk smiled brightly, surprised that Philip would agree so decisively. The secret realm was full of dangers. He knew that he should not let others take risks for him, but Philip did not ask any questions and even agreed to his request without any hesitation. “I’ll think about it and see if I can find a way to bring you in,” Philip said off-handedly. He still preferred to bring the old monk with him. The old monk was dumbfounded and thought he had heard it wrongly. “What?” The old monk gaped at
