The girl took out a knife from the kitchen and was about to kill the three of them.
Philip quickly stopped her and said, “Aren’t you afraid of getting your bedroom dirty if you do it here?”
The girl shook her head, and Philip said with a sigh, “Go outside.”
The three were killed by the girl while they were unconscious. Philip manipulated the water to wash the surrounding
area and set the three on fire, turning them into ashes.
The girl was very brave, unmoved despite killing three people. However, she was also a child who knew how to
repay kindness, so she invited Philip into the house for dinner.
The house could almost be described as barren.
The girl took out the only piece of meat from the refrigerator and served it to Philip after cooldng it. This piece of
meat could be considered the most valuable item in this family.
Philip did not refuse her kindness, but he still gave the siblings half the portion of meat. The siblings did not speak

After finishing his meal, Philip asked them, “What are your names?”
The younger brother said, “My name is Jack, and my sister’s name is Jess.”
Those sounded like pretty common names, so Philip continued to ask, “Where are your parents?”
If there was an adult in the family, at least they would not lead such a miserable life.
Jack glanced at his sister aggrievedly, and he said, “They went to the center of the desert and never came back…”
Philip was taken aback and said, “I see. I’m sorry.”
The vegetation near this town was fairly lush with no desert marked on the map, so he asked, “Is there a desert
nearby?”
“This desert only appeared three years ago, and one part of it still surrounds this small town.”
The girl handed a glass of water to Philip and added, “There are storms in that desert every day, and hover cars
and the like can’t get out at all.”
The boy hugged his elder sister, who had taken care of him all these years.
“They received an emergency call one day and left for the desert, but they never came back. This place slowly
became like this. We have to live like rats every day, and I have to make myself look ugly before I even dare to go
out and do odd jobs in an auto repair shop.”
As she spoke, the girl was about to cry.
Philip patted her on the back and said, “Fortunately, you have an obedient brother.”
It was the girl’s day off today. Those three guys wanted to steal something but did not expect to bump into a pretty
girl in the house, so they got some ideas. Fortunately, they met Philip.
“I think I might go to the desert later. Maybe I can find your parents.”
“I’m sure they must be alive and well,” the girl murmured.
Philip wanted the siblings to move out of here, but their parents would not be able to find them if they returned, so
they refused to leave.

girl’s communicator.
“If I have news about your parents, I’ll come back and tell you.”
Philip walked along the street.
Just as he was about to leave town, a group stopped Philip.
“Hey, friend, are you going into the desert?”
“Well, what’s the problem?” Philip asked back the guy who questioning him.
“There’s no problem. It’s just that our group has been hired by a wealthy businessman who told us that there’s a
secret treasure in the center of the desert, and we’ll get paid whether we can bring it back or not.”
The tanned man in front of him grinned and said, “Do you want to join us?”
Coincidentally, Philip wanted to take a look at the desert, and this group of people posed no threat to him at all.
He replied, “Sure, as long as I get paid.”
Philip followed the man. Including Philip, there were 17 people in total, and ten of them were men. Everyone wore
different outfits and seemed unfamiliar with each other.
The man seemed to be the team leader at this moment. Seeing that no one else was joining, he took the lead and
made the final preparations before departure.
