The old man suddenly grabbed a very timid-looking child next to him. It was a little boy, seven or eight years old, still wet behind the ears.
The old man pushed the child in front of Philip.
Philip chuckled and asked, “What do you mean by this?”
“This is the subject for our second test, of course!”
Philip said indifferently, “You can’t just pull a child with no elements over for the test. No matter what, we can’t find any elements, can we?”
After a pause, Philip continued, “Let’s do this. If anyone has taken a test under this gentleman before, let me check if anyone has been overlooked. That’s only fair!”
Hearing that, the onlookers who came for the show gathered together quickly.
The old man wanted to say something but he did not want to cause public outrage!
So, he snorted coldly and said, “Okay, I’ll see what tricks you can come up with!”
Hearing that, Philip simply smiled faintly and started walking past these people one by one.
Soon, Philip found a girl of fifteen or sixteen in the crowd. She was quite pretty, and her family was quite reputable on the lower floor too.
At this time, she was among the crowd purely out of curiosity.
A year ago, she had indeed taken the test but found no elements at all. Now that there was a chance in front of her, she still wanted to give it a try.
Philip patted her on the shoulder twice before he pulled her out and said, “She’ll do!”
When the old man saw that Philip had chosen Arlene Shannon, he sneered.
“Boy, you are sure to lose this time. Arlene is the daughter of the Shannon family, the white husk among all white husks. You actually chose her!”
Philip was unperturbed.
He whispered in Arlene’s ear, “Miss Shannon… I may do something offensive to you later, but everything is for your own good. I hope you don’t mind…”
