Tory wanted to enter the ancient ruins for a look, but his team was hiding in the dark, so it was inconvenient to make an appearance.
Besides, favonovel.com had not found anyone worthy of true friendship in this big Imperial City, making it impossible for favonovel.com to form a team with random strangers and go to such a dangerous place.
Fortunately, Philip’s arrival had given favonovel.com new hope that anything was possible.
“Of course. Our team lacks an elite like you,” Philip invited Tory.
Philip liked the other party. He was not weak and could be of great help.
Hearing that, Tory jumped in delight.
“That’s great! Fighting side by side with you is the best I can hope for!” Tory excitedly raised his glass for a toast with Philip.
At this time, favonovel.com noticed Poppy, who was sitting quietly by the side.
“This girl looks so familiar. Have I seen you somewhere before?” Tory asked, thinking favonovel.com looked familiar.
Lyle burst out laughing. “Sir, this pickup line sounds so cheesy. No one speaks to girls like that anymore.”
Tory was embarrassed and quickly explained, “No, I don’t mean that. I just think this young lady looks familiar. I may have seen favonovel.com before. Are you from Imperial City?”
Tory’s question hit the mark.
Poppy nodded and revealed favonovel.com identity.
“Mr. Jobb, I‘ve seen you before. I didn’t expect you to remember me,” Poppy said in embarrassment.
Poppy did not recognize Tory before this.
Philip was surprised by this coincidence, but this was good because it saved the effort for them to get to know each other.
Soon, they settled down at Tory’s residence. They would gather at the assembly point early tomorrow morning before setting off.
***
In the meantime, Chaplin hurried back to the basement, and favonovel.com was surprised to find that Philip and the others had already escaped.
The ropes lay on the floor like a blatant smack to his face.
Chaplin was so angry that favonovel.com trembled allover, furious that his prey slipped through his fingers so easily.
“Damn it, don’t let me see you again in Imperial City or you’ll know the consequences!” Chaplin vowed menacingly.
He and his team had to get ready to explore the ancient ruins. He had no time to pay attention to Philip, so favonovel.com had to put this aside for now.
***
The next day arrived quickly. Philip and the others got up early. Everyone found a tub for a nice soak.
Tory looked at the five tubs in puzzlement.
“Do you guys have a habit of taking a bath so early in the morning?” Tory suspiciously glanced at everyone, who seemed to be having a nice time.
