“Why not? I don’t have to get involved in this in the first place. Philip added, “I can consider pretending to be your fiance, but I need to put forward my demands too.” “Go ahead.” Of course, Ludo knew that Philip would not help her for no reason. “I need relevant internal information about the Heavenly Court, especially of my parents and also about the real Heavenly Court in history.” After Philip finished speaking, he picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. Ludo thought for a while, pinched her chin with her tender hand, and said, “Okay, it’s a deal!” Soon, Philip left the hotel. As soon as he went out, Philip noticed that he was being followed by several men in black clothes. Philip thought about it and walked along the street until he reached a remote alley. Those guys stood at the entrance of the alley and looked at the surrounding environment. They glanced at each other and pulled out daggers or pistols. When they entered the alley, they realized
As Dumbo Lane was drinking and having fun, he saw his subordinate rushing in. Hearing those words, Dumbo immediately stood up in fright and asked with wide eyes, “Who broke in?” He was sweating profusely! The subordinate covered in blood was just about to reply when a figure full of killing intent at the door kicked a few subordinates away and rushed in. “It’s me!” That declaration exploded in the hall like a thunderbolt! Dumbo looked up and saw Philip barging in alone with murderous eyes. “It’s you? Aren’t you dead yet?” Dumbo panicked, and a trace of doubt flashed in the corner of his eyes. Damn it! He had hired a few expert disciples. Why were so many people unable to take down one opponent? Philip chuckled and walked up to Dumbo. He sat on the sofa, poured a glass of wine, and took a sip. Seeing this, Dumbo’s eyes were full of chills! Damn it! Philip did not take him seriously at all! Outrageous! Dumbo shouted angrily, “Young Patriarch Clarke, this is
Seeing this, Dumbo waved his hand and yelled, “Kill him!” Bang, bang, bang! Rat-tat-tat! In an instant, gunfire filled the hall, and people were sent flying! The furniture and furnishing turned into smithereens! Dumbo thought that Philip would definitely die under such firepower! However, he was wrong—very wrong! That was because he saw that the bullets did Philip no harm at all! He really was a disciple! Roar! With a low roar, a fire chimera rushed out, knocking over a dozen people. They exploded in flames and turned to ashes! Roar! At that moment, the chimera pounced on Dumbo and stomped on his chest with flaming hooves! Dumbo’s face was pale as he fell to the ground, his clothes and hair burning. “Argh! Don’t kill me!” Dumbo yelled miserably. Philip walked out of the hall silently, leaving a pile of bodies behind him that were mostly charred or had already been burned to ashes. “Third Master Lane, what do you think now?” Philip asked with a grin. At
Philip followed the female attendant into Glenrock Den. It was an elegant garden with a simple yet classy atmosphere. There was a small lotus pond, a small gazebo, and many porcelain decorations. Claus was playing chess in the small gazebo with a guard behind him. The guard looked quite imposing with stern eyes and a cold aura exuding from him. Philip entered the small gazebo, bowed slightly, and said, “How do you do, Dragon King Motley?” Claus laughed and said with a wave, “Don’t be so formal. We’re friends here.” Philip sat down and glanced at the chess game on the table. It was very strange, seemingly with all dead ends. “Do you play chess?” Claus asked when he saw Philip looking at the game. Philip smiled, shook his head, and said, “I know a little bit. I've played with my father before.” Claus smiled and said, “That's great. Play this game with me.” Philip did not refuse, and the two began to play against each other. “Do you need to know something?” Claus ask
Claus said, “Look at the arrowhead.” Philip looked at it carefully and saw a golden dragon gate! That was right! It was that symbol! The same one that Philip saw in the space tunnel! It was the logo of the real Heavenly Court! “Have you seen it before?” Claus asked when he saw Philip’s expression. Philip frowned and said with a nod, “Yes, I have.” Claus nodded and said, “This is the logo of the real Heavenly Court. There were many historical records, but they’re very obscure. Moreover, many archaeologists didn’t study this topic in-depth and only thought of it as a coincidence.” Hearing this, Philip nodded and made a chess move. Claus looked at the chess game and shook his head with a smile. He said, “Your chess skills are not bad.” Philip smiled and said, “It's just a coincidence.” Claus got up and invited Philip into the courtyard. The two sat down, chatting while drinking tea. “Mystic City is very complicated. If you want to get something here, you need t
The first Dragon King. Hearing Philip’s question, Claus put down the teacup in his hand and stared at the birds and flowers in the yard. After a long time, he said apprehensively, “I’d advise you not to ask about him. It’d be better for you.” Hearing Claus’ remark, Philip’s heart skipped a beat. Did the first Dragon King have a huge background? Claus actually showed such apprehension and also advised Philip not to ask about him. After a moment of silence, Philip said, “I still want to know because I don't want to be controlled by others. I can only make corresponding judgments and preparations when I understand the other party.” Hearing this, Claus thought for a moment and said solemnly, “I can tell you some things, but you have to keep the information to yourself and not disclose it to the people around you. Otherwise, it’ll bring disaster to the people around you!” The atmosphere became tense. Philip nodded. Claus used the water from his teacup and wrote a word on t
Philip returned to the hotel where Fennel and the others were waiting for him. “An old beggar came over just now and asked me to give this to you,” Fennel said with a piece of broken jade in his hand. Philip took the jade and glanced at it. It seemed quite unusual, like a part of a larger object. “What old beggar?” Philip asked. Fennel shook his head and said he did not know. Philip frowned, looked at the jade again, and decided not to dwell on it. “By the way, Windsor Well just sent someone over to tell us that the Treasure-Digging Event at the Mystic Cave will be held ahead of schedule,” Fennel said. “Ahead of schedule? When?” Philip asked. “Tomorrow,” Fennel said. Philip scowled and frowned. Why would the Treasure-Digging Event be brought forward? “Anything else?” Philip asked. Fennel said, “He also wants to know if you’ve thought about it.” Philip pondered and said, “What do you think?” Fennel said, “I don't think it’s necessary to work with Windsor. We
Bang! The other party once again rushed over with the dagger in his hand! Philip frowned and kicked out again! Not to be outdone, the other party stopped abruptly before running toward the windows! “Do you want to run?” Philip frowned and punched the figure by the window! Roar! A low roar resounded throughout the hotel and even disturbed the entire street! A flaming fist full of raging energy bombarded the figure! Boom! The figure was sent flying by the flaming fist, and the wall collapsed! Philip stomped on the ground with both feet and jumped out, fighting the person again! The two ran and chased, constantly fighting each other! Crack! Suddenly, the black figure raised his hand and made a grabbing motion at the sky. Several thunderbolts landed on Philip’s head! Philip frowned and quickly retreated! Rumble! Lightning completely engulfed this area. The floor shattered, and gravel flew. The surrounding houses and other facilities were also reduced to ru
