Chapter 3474
The First Heir
âUm, thanks for just now.â Philip broke the awkward silence and said to Laurie, who nodded upon
hearing this.
âItâs nothing. Whatâs important is that youâre fine. Weâre friends, after all,â Laurie replied and smiled.
The atmosphere became awkward again. Philip was exasperated but did not know what to say. After
all, things were quite embarrassing earlier.
Fortunately, Dion returned soon, and everyone ate before returning to their rooms.
Lying on the bed, Philip looked at the ceiling and was lost in thought. After todayâs incident, Philip
realized that he still had many shortcomings. An illusion almost killed him, which was not a good sign.
âIf this happens again, what should I do? I donât even know when I entered the illusionâ¦â Philip
pondered.
After thinking about it, it should be the moment when he attacked the man.
However, he did not notice anything at all. Was it because the illusion was too special or that he was
too careless?
Philip had a long list of questions with no way of verifying them. He could only wait for the female thief
to wake up before asking her. Thus, Philip sat on the bed and began to practice.
***
A night passed.
Early the next morning, Philip exhaled and opened his eyes, which contained a sharp glint in them.
A night of practice allowed his body to fully recover.
âItâs time to eat!â At this time, Dionâs voice sounded outside the door.
Philip responded and walked out.
After a simple meal, Laurie dragged him out of the hotel.
As such, Philip did not even have time to talk to the female thief who had just woken up.
Philip was dumbfounded, not knowing what Laurie was up to.
âIâm taking you to look at the venue of the Heroes Conference. Itâs divided into several venues with
different levels of difficulty,â Seeing Philipâs puzzled expression, Laurie quickly explained.
âDifferent venues? Is there a purpose behind this?â Philip could not help asking, and Laurie nodded.
âOf course there is. To put it plainly, if you have background and influence, youâll be given a venue
thatâs neither difficult nor easy. If youâre extremely powerful, youâll be given a venue so easy that you
can pass without lifting a finger,â Laurie explained.
Philip nodded. So many shady businesses were going on behind the Heroes Conference.
âDonât worry too much about it. The rules are not for show, but such things are unavoidable. After all,
people of great power hope that their younger generation can become heroes as it can elevate their
reputationâ¦â
âThus, such things are not uncommon. Of course, if they come across any talents who are not pleasing
to the eye and have no background, or those who refuse to join any major forces, theyâll generally be
given the worst venues,â Laurie added with a trace of fear in her eyes.
Philip was taken aback upon hearing this.
What the hell was this the Heroes Conference?
It was nothing more than a place to get rid of opposition!
Talents who refused to join any major forces had to be killed?
What logic was this?
âThis sounds interesting. Is there no one to stop these people?â Philip fumed under his breath, and
Laurie shook her head.
âYou should know that those in power have the final say in this world. Without power, youâll always be
the weaker party. Donât try to reason with the powerful, because what they say is the law,â Laurie said
flatly, and Philip nodded.
âThatâs right, the word of the powerful is the law!â
