Meanwhile, it was busy at the Hexa Guild. This was the guild Hogster belonged to. The people of the guild were arrogant and never took anyone seriously. Due to limited strength, however, they only bullied weaker guilds and avoided the stronger ones. The powerful guilds were the objects of their pursuit, so they thought the Celestial Palace was in the bag for sure. After all, their young heir was about to marry the Celestial Palace’s young heiress, which would in turn raise the Hexa Guild's status. Thus, they saw themselves as the top guild and felt that they would definitely win the guild competition. The guild leader was jubilant as he waited for the Celestial Palace’s explanation. Since both parties had reached an agreement regarding marriage, the Celestial Palace had breached the contract by letting the young heiress run away, so they had to give the Hexa Guild an explanation. At that time, the Hexa Guild could rip them off by demanding compensation. The guild leader was v
Philip was getting impatient from waiting. He thought someone would come to the rescue soon and he could have some fun, but these people were so slow that it was ridiculous. He asked someone to take Hogster out of the woodshed and glared at the trembling guy in dissatisfaction. Hogster had been beaten very badly and knew how strong Philip was. Not to mention Philip, he could not even beat a measly rabbit, so his self-confidence had fallen to rock bottom. If he could not get back at them, it would ruin his mental state for sure. For a practitioner, any impact on their mental state was a serious incident. It might render someone unable to practice again. Hogster had always been lauded as a prodigy. Ruining his mental state would be equivalent to total destruction. Without any advantages or strengths to begin with, it would be even worse from now on. Hogster trembled as he kneeled in front of Philip. He felt like crying. He wondered what was taking his father so long to resc
Philip frowned at the people who had ruined his clean yard. “That’s enough. Get out of my sight. I won’t keep you anymore. I don’t want more mouths to feed!” Philip waved his hand unhappily. Everyone was surprised that Philip would let them go. Hogster laughed in his mind. He knew that this would be the worst decision Philip made. Hogster might have had to suffer a few more beatings if Philip had kept him, but since Philip had decided to release him, Hogster would tell his father everything. Knowing his father's protective nature, he would rip Philip into pieces. Although Hogster was aware of Philip’s strength, a few of them could hardly stand up against a large force like the Hexa Guild. It would be a spectacle once the Hexa Guild took things seriously. At least, Philip would never survive the ordeal. Hogster vowed to torture the disgusting rabbit and roast it over a fire to eat. The rabbit was too much for bullying him. No one could tolerate it. So what if Philip’s pe
After all, they could not control the other party’s actions, and no one knew what would happen. The Hexa Guild had always been famous for sneak attacks and was quite good at them. “I think we shouldn’t let them go. It’s best to kill them. If their guild turns up at the door, we can just deny it!” Hearing that, Philip choked on his tea and started coughing. Women were vicious, indeed. He simply wanted to give them a hard time, but Vanna wanted to kill them outright. “Don't worry, I'm not afraid of their sneak attacks. I’m just worried that they’re too lousy and won't be able to entertain me.” Philip chuckled, not worried about their strength at all.… Meanwhile, Hogster had finally regained his freedom and ran as fast as he could. The guild members under his command ran miserably too. They never thought that they could escape alive. It was a blessing. After being locked up for so long, they forgot the purpose of their trip. Many people were disgusted at the sight of the
“Open the door for me at once. I need to wash and change!” Hearing that, the guild member opened the door and ushered Hogster in, fearing that Hogster would make things difficult for him. Hogster was a temperamental person. He would be doomed if he offended Hogster. His life in the guild would never be easy again. Hogster could not be bothered with the guild member and simply left. He had to go back to wash and tidy up his appearance. Before he returned to his room, he bumped into his father, who was passing by the door. Alain Bacon was a clean freak and would never allow such sloppiness. He almost went mad with anger when he saw a man with a foul smell appearing in the guild. “What’s up with your appearance?” Alain was not a fool and immediately recognized his son. He trembled in anger when he took a closer look at his son. Hogster started crying at the sight of Alain. In his panic, he wanted to hug Alain. Alain backed away, unwilling to have any contact with him. “H
“In that case, let’s show them the power of the Hexa Guild. I’ll send some powerful members to raze that shabby place to the ground!” With a wave of his hand, Alain summoned an elder and ordered him to take some people and deal with Philip. Hogster was very excited when he saw that elder, who was very strong. He would regain his dignity once this elder took action. “Let me go with the third elder. I want to see Philip begging for mercy at my feet. I want to show them the power of the Hexa Guild!” Hogster said aggressively as if he was sure that Philip would be dealt with. Alain did not refuse Hogster's request. Even if Hogster had not brought it up himself, Alain would have asked him to go along. Practice required a stable mind. After suffering so badly, Hogster’s mental state had definitely been greatly affected, so he had to recover from that blow. The best way to regain his confidence was to deal with the culprit or better, kill him. “Third Elder, I’ll count on you. I’m
Before Hogster could go into his room to clean up, Alain could not bear it any longer and performed a cleansing spell. Hogster was finally clean and no longer smelled. “Third Elder, wait for me. I’ve been locked up for a while and haven’t adjusted yet!” As Hogster chased after the group, the other members ran so quickly that Hogster could not keep up. Dennie ran faster, hoping to lose Hogster. He was so weak that he would not be able to help Dennis even if he caught up. Soon, Petal City became boisterous as a large group of outsiders in uniform entered the city. They looked angry as if someone offended them, so they were probably here to cause trouble. The onlookers panicked at this scene and gave way to them. No one wanted to get beaten for no reason, so they would rather avoid the outsiders. Dennis was full of disdain at their reaction. “What a bunch of cowardly commoners.” They looked like lowly civilians whose lives were worthless. Dennis always enjoyed gazes of adm
Lazlo had tried making contact with someone from a guild back then, but they ignored him and even mocked him, which was a great blow to him. Due to this, Lazlo vowed to develop his family so that he would not lose out to the guilds. No matter what he did, however, there was a big gap between a family and a guild. The guilds were too strong. The members they trained could easily crush normal people. On the other hand, a family placed more importance on wealth, so the two parties pursued different things. Even if Lazlo wanted to pursue power, he could not develop his people without a proper technique on hand, so he could only give up and focus on running his business in the end. He wanted to ride on the coattails of the guilds, but it was easier said than done. He vowed to get in touch with these people even at the risk of his life if he ever found a chance. He had no idea that he had missed the best opportunity to forge a connection with a guild. If he had treated Vanna a litt
“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.
“I have other important things to do. Don't worry. I’ll be back soon, so make sure you work hard during this time. I’ve given you all the pills you need. Whether you can make full use of them depends on you.” In Philip’s opinion, the Hexa Guild could not do anything anymore, so there was no worry about them. After much deliberation, Jamie nodded. Philip did not belong to his guild, so he could hardly stop Philip from leaving. Moreover, Philip’s pill supply was already a great help to them. It would be annoying if Jamie asked for more. “No problem. Where are you going next? Do you need my help? I’ll do my best to help you.” The Celestial Palace was powerful enough for Jamie to say such things. Philip shook his head. He would be traveling with Adam next, and his strength was incredible. It was best for them to leave together. “It’s okay. I have everything prepared. Just do your best in the competition and don’t allow the Hexa Guild to take the upper hand.” Now that the Cele
“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
