"Phelan, you've worked hard these days, well done.” Theophilus said solemnly: "In a few days, I will give you a martial arts secret manual. After returning, earnestly practicing it will be very beneficial for you." It cannot go unsaid that during his coma, Phelan worked diligently, smoothly handling everything without missing a beat. Otherwise, upon awakening, he would have been like a blind man, knowing nothing. "Thank you, elder!" Phelan said, slightly excited, bowing deeply. For Earth-ranked experts like Phelan, ordinary wealth hardly moved him. But Theophilus rewarding him with a martial arts manual was indeed a stroke of luck. Phelan had personally witnessed the formidable strength of Theophilus, capable of killing the Black-Dragon King of Mysterious Royal-X. Moreover, the background of elder Theophilus was probably so complicated it was unimaginable. Not only did it make Mysterious Royal-X go through great lengths to kill and harm him, but he also had deep ties with the J
Phelan drove to the parking lot under the Oceanview Hotel building. The hotel's parking lot was filled with most of the county's luxury cars. People in Onyx Vela County seemed to favor off-road vehicles, with many prestigious license plates, almost like preparing for battle. Theophilus glanced around briefly before he and Phelan entered the hotel elevator. They quickly arrived at the restaurant on the sixteenth floor. The restaurant's decor was lavish, with soft red carpets on the floor, decorations in a classical style, landscape calligraphy paintings on the walls, and various luxurious items. Theophilus texted Dulcie, letting her know the address. Then he approached the reception desk. "Hello sir, may I know if you have reserved a private room?" the receptionist asked seriously. Phelan said: “Silver Lake." "Oh, I'll prepare the invoice for both of you, please make the deposit payment as required." While talking, the female receptionist observed Theophilus and Phelan, a hin
"Ha ha.” Humphrey laughed smugly, seemingly enjoying such a commanding scene. He slowly lit a cigarette and disdainfully looked at Theophilus and Phelan. "My patience has limits. You two shrimp better roll out of the Oceanview hotel yourselves, or if you anger me, you won't even have food to eat, just fish in the river.” Humphrey coldly said, his tone full of threats. No sooner had he finished speaking than Mr. Reed's men rushed forward, intending to attack Theophilus. "What do you think you're doing? Daring to hit someone?" Phelan stood in front of Theophilus, angrily scolding. He had not expected this group to be so brazen, truly a bunch of thugs. Having roamed the jianghu for many years, Phelan was not unfamiliar with the rules here. Clearly, the man before them, Mr. Reed, was the big shot in Onyx Vela County. Such people existed everywhere, thinking highly of themselves, expecting everyone to fear them. But in reality, they were like frogs in a well, never having seen the o
Theophilus smiled and took a bite, finding the flavor fresh and delicious, the meat in this part being the softest. "Theophilus, those people outside just now won't cause any trouble, right? It seems like they've added to your worries.” Dulcie said, looking slightly anxious. "Just some clowns jumping around, let's eat, no need to care about such trivial matters.” Theophilus indifferently said. "Yes.” Dulcie obediently nodded. The two continued to slowly enjoy their meal, chatting about a few trivial matters, the atmosphere very harmonious. In the dining hall outside the Silver Lake private dining room. It was extremely noisy at this moment. Humphrey had called dozens of people, who stormed into the restaurant. And Phelan alone blocked outside the Silver Lake room, throwing out anyone trying to barge in and cause trouble. Luckily, the soundproofing of the Silver Lake room was quite good, the noise outside not affecting Theophilus and Dulcie's meal at all. "Damn, that's some ne
"Dulcie, rest assured. I'll handle him.” Theophilus reassured Dulcie, who was lost in thought. "But you've just been discharged from the hospital, and your injuries haven't fully healed. I'm really worried.” Dulcie expressed her concern: "If it's really not okay, shall we leave Onyx Vela district first?" Theophilus showed confidence, which somewhat eased Dulcie's mind. But Theophilus was still slightly inconvenienced in his actions; could he handle such a formidable enemy? "Elder, shall we return to the district hospital?" Phelan also asked seriously. Deep down, Phelan never doubted Theophilus's abilities. He had witnessed the battle between Theophilus and the Black-Dragon King, which was truly terrifying. But now that the elder had just woken up from a coma, how much of his combat strength remained was a concern. Especially facing the enemy, including the young and distinguished Franklyn from the Jake family in Wolves, a renowned Earth-ranking warrior. This could be a bit tric
"Theophilus, why don't you take action yourself. I also want to see what abilities you have, or is it that you only know how to intimidate people?" Franklyn provocatively said. Theophilus coldly smiled, saying: “You're not even worthy to fight me." "Ha ha ha!" Franklyn laughed arrogantly, his eyes revealing a ruthless glint: "Theophilus, are you afraid? Fleeing the battle?" "I thought you were capable of something, but it turns out you're just a bluffer, too scared to fight me." "If you're scared, then immediately kneel down, admit your guilt, and apologize for the two elders of the Jake family you crippled!" "Afraid?" Theophilus shook his head, looking towards Phelan: "You go and fight him." "Ha ha. You dare not fight, and now you're sending an old useless man to fight me?" Franklyn was momentarily stunned, then scornfully laughed: "You really are scared! Ha ha ha ha!" Phelan's expression tightened, complex feelings flashed across his face, momentarily unsure of the elder's int
In front of Theophilus, Franklyn was like a child showing off a gun, displaying his naive martial arts skills. The technique Theophilus had just passed on to Phelan was actually very succinct and profound. He showed Phelan Franklyn's critical weaknesses, along with his martial arts moves. Then, he also passed on to Phelan a set of secret heart method. The Mysterious Royal-X heart method is a martial arts treasure, inherently unpredictable in battle, and can stimulate a person's potential in a short time, a secret to surge strength quietly. With Phelan's years of experience and agility, combined with the surge in internal strength from the heart method, and understanding Franklyn's critical weaknesses. The difference between the two sides like this, it wouldn't be difficult for Phelan to defeat Franklyn. At the same time, on the roof of a high-rise building in the county hospital, there was an old man wearing a white traditional Chinese garment, with white hair and eyebrows, stan
In Franklyn's mind, Theophilus was merely an estranged child of the Jake family, his status far removed from the descendants of the Jake family's main lineage. Yet, such an outcast was held in high regard by the old lady. This greatly irked Franklyn, who personally went down the mountain, intending to teach Theophilus a lesson. However, before he could even fight Theophilus, he was beaten to the ground by a weak underling. This... Was utterly humiliating. "Underhanded tactics?" Theophilus mocked, coldly looking at Franklyn: "Phelan's martial skills are inferior to yours, you were clearly losing in a fair fight, yet you dare speak of underhanded tactics?". "Franklyn, can't you admit your defeat?". Refusing to acknowledge defeat? These words from Theophilus were like a sharp needle piercing straight into Franklyn's heart. Utterly humiliating! "Theophilus... You, you!". Franklyn almost vomited blood, his body trembled, and he glared fiercely at Theophilus. At this moment, he
