Seeing Philip looking up, Regus smiled and said, "I'm Regus. May I know your name?"
"I'm Philip Clarke. How may I help you?" Philip looked at Regus tentatively.
He knew that Regus was most likely here for the bloodline purification technique, and they
would probably fight. To be honest, he really did not want to fight Regus.
Doing it would definitely expose him.
Exposing his strength was secondary, but most importantly, the ancient Heavenly Court
and the Beelzebub royal family would inevitably discover his existence!
At that time, Philip would be in deep trouble.
Hearing Philip's words, Regus smiled and said, "It's nothing much. You seem to have
bought something from that shop just now. I want to have a look at it. After all, it's
something that made my bloodline excited..." Regus pointed to the shop just now and
stated his purpose without concealment.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPhilip was in a pickle. Regus obviously noticed it earlier but did not expose Philip. Instead,
he chose to wait here.
"Buddy, I bought this thing, so it belongs to me now. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you
to behave like this..." Philip's voice was grave with a hint of anger.
At this time, many people around spotted Regus and surrounded them after seeing the
confrontation between the two.
Regus glanced at the people around them and said with a smile, "This isn't a good place to
talk. Shall we shift places?"
Philip was taken aback and looked at Regus oddly.
Was Regus about to attack him in another place?
That was not good for Philip either.
If he killed Regus, Philip would be exposed. If he did not, Regus' existence would always be
a threat to him.
After a brief silence, Philip looked up and said, "Okay. You can pick the spot and lead the
way."
Regus chuckled and said, "Please follow me..."
Regus turned around and left while Philip sighed softly and followed.

Cirrus City, in a private room of a tavern.
Philip looked at the pile of meat in front of him and could not help his face from twitching.
"Regus, this is..."
Regus looked up at Philip with a piece of freshly roasted meat in the corner of his mouth
and said incoherently, "Dig in. We can talk after we have our fill."
Philip could not help but feel a sense of irony.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWas Regus going to feed Philip his last supper before sending Philip to meet his maker?
However, seeing Regus stuffing his face, Philip could not help his craving. Without further
thought, he picked up a piece of meat and put it on the stove to roast it.
Soon, a layer of golden crust coated the meat, and a faint aroma wafted in the room.
After sprinkling various spices, Philip started eating.
Time passed...
The two ate for three hours before finishing all the food. Of course, Regus ate most of it.
Philip was full after a few bites.
"That feels good..." Regus sat on the chair in satisfaction and said with emotion.
Seeing this, Philip's mouth twitched, and he said, "My friend, what's the meaning of this?"
"Oh, nothing much, I just want to see that bone fragment of yours," Regus said leisurely
before added, "Of course, I don't mean to be hostile. If you're willing to show me, I can pay
a certain price. After all, you bought that thing from that shop.
