October 4, 1857 - Sunday Philip was seen walking along a stone pathway surrounded by towering structures, carrying a sizable suitcase with him. His attire consisted of a black frock coat, a black top hat, and a red scarf wrapped around his neck, obscuring part of his face. As he made his way through the crowd, his gaze was steady and deliberate. Despite their golden luminosity, his eyes went unnoticed by those around him. Shortly, his attention was drawn to a woman who appeared to be in a state of…-

"I do." The man answered, his face beamed in delight as he looked at the woman across him. Upon hearing the man's answer, the woman replied with a charming smile, and her eyelids formed mists within. "You may now kiss the bride." As their lips met, the air in the church was filled with the resounding sound of clapping hands. The uncontainable happiness of the audience was palpable, evident in every smile and jubilant expression. This was the wedding of the century between the patriarch of…

Philip's initial goal was to gather intel about the game and later kill Steve. But after seeing Loen, he quickly retracted killing Steve and focused on the intel.

Steve's financial asset is one of the greatest advantages he has. With this, Steve could create a battleground favorable to him, either in weaponry or human resources. 'But he's too reliant on his money and borrowing other powers,' Philip contemplated. After observing Steve, Philip knew that Steve was weak in terms of direct confrontation with his enemies. 'This makes it even easier,' Philip narrowed his eyes dangerously and entered the Recruitment Office. Philip had already anticipated that Steve…

In a nearby village, the adult Philip was seen walking holding a jewelry box with him. The morning sun was starting to rise, signifying the time for people to wake up. While the stores began to open their doors, Philip stood steadily in front of the inn. His head was raised, gazing at the opened window. Inside this room was a chair, laying on it was a child Philip had been observing. The child was Steve, the same person who made Philip's life miserable. Although Philip was watching the reason…

Two days earlier. On a stormy night, with lightning flashing in the sky, a small figure of a child was seen fluttering mid-air. The child's eyes were opened as he looked up at the dark sky in surrender. His left leg and right hand were gone, on them was red liquid drifting upward instead. He was Philip. This was the very night he rolled himself down from the cliff. Philip expected his death to be fast, but strangely, his fall was so slow that his mind could not help but wander around the past.…

"HE KILLED EMILE!" Loen's cry was so loud and intense that Steve almost wetted his pants. The fierceness in his voice was clearly delivered to Steve. 'He is angry.' This was what Steve thought after receiving Loen's overflowing emotion. Steve's mind was so muddled that he wasn't able to catch what Loen had said. However, when his mind finally registered it, he instantly became frozen in astonishment. 'Impossible.' He denied it internally. He knew Philip could not have done it. His confidence…

"Do you think you can escape from me?" Loen smirked. He looked down at Steve kneeling on the floor in delight. His fingers moved up and down extremely fast as if he were controlling puppet strings; his feet glued near the back door as his eyes pierced through Steve in ecstasy. On the other hand, Steve was frozen on the floor, staring at another figure of Loen. Without hesitation, he quickly used his ability. Turning his eyes to gold, he saw through Loen the light that should have existed from him.…

Got. You. Although Steve couldn't hear Loen, he still could somehow read Loen's mouth. When Loen's figure disintegrated into thin dust and moved towards the air vents, adrenaline quickly gushed in his body as he shouted, "RUN!" Raven was the first to stand up, following him was the man trembling across Steve. The four other men had also seen Loen's terrifying figure and quickly came out from their seats. BANG! And when Steve was about to crawl his way out of his chair, a loud door slam…
