Seeing everyone's reaction, Philip thought that this old man might be someone unusual. Otherwise, they would not be so concerned, so he started observing. After the old man walked out and looked around, he cleared his throat and started talking. “As there are many participants in the Heroes Conference this time, the cabins are limited. According to the past practice, each person only has to pay 1,000 star dollars, but times are different now. Anyone who wants to board the ship has to pay 10,000 star dollars, and it’s non-negotiable.” “What? That’s an increase of ten times!” “Damn it, this old man is just trying to make a fortune, isn’t he?” “Shush, don’t talk nonsense. This person isn’t to be messed with.” “10,000 star dollars isn’t that much. We can eliminate some unqualified people too.” Many people talked softly, some happy and some sad. Philip was not bothered about it. It was just 10,000 star dollars, and he did not lack it. The woman who was touched by Philip look
The other woman nodded and said in a huff, “So what if you’re rich? That arrogant look of yours is really annoying. Compared to you, I prefer that little hooligan.” ‘Little Hooligan’ Philip was speechless. Sure enough, he was branded a hooligan now, but that was okay. “Ahem, buddy, as you can see, money is not always useful. Alas, you should go back and take a good look at yourself in the mirror.” As Philip said that, he turned around and led the two sisters toward the cabin. The rich kid was dumbfounded for a while. After thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong and asked the two people beside him. “What did that kid mean just now? Why should I look in the mirror?” “Um, Young Master, he seems to be implying that you’re ugly.” A young man spoke, and the one in the lead immediately scowled darkly. “Damn it. How dare a rotten punk like him insult me? I’m going to kill that guy and make that two women crawl onto my bed obediently!” The young man gritted his te
The toothpick brushed past the young man's cheek and pierced into the ship's plank with a crisp sound. A small hole was pierced through the metal, which still exuded heat. The young man was so frightened that he almost peed in his pants. He had always been pampered and had never encountered such a thing before. He touched his cheek and found a trace of blood on his hand, obviously injured by the toothpick. “Damn it!” The young man could hardly control himself and was about to rush at Philip but was held back by the two young men beside him. “Forget it, it's not convenient for us to make a move here. Let’s talk about it after we disembark tomorrow.” A young man comforted him, but his hidden meaning was mocking the other party for being ignorant of his strength. If that toothpick was a little off, it would have gone through his head, but he still did not realize it. If the other two were not worried about being implicated in his death, they would not care if he died. “I'm s
Recent events made Philip amused. At first, he had not decided whether to go to the Multiherb Guild of the white tiger royal family on the third continent to find the Multidew Herb or go to the Heroes Conference of the fire phoenix royal family on the first continent, but the decision was made for him. “Since that’s the case, I’ll just go with the flow,” Philip muttered. As Philip pondered, a slightly drunk woman walked by and bumped into Philip inadvertently as she passed by. To outsiders, it was just a girl's unintentional behavior after drinking too much. It was nothing to fuss about, but Philip frowned slightly and put a hand on the other party's shoulder. “Lady, it’s not good to take things from other people.” Philip said lightly. That was right. When this woman passed by him, he felt something was wrong because the woman did not seem drunk at all. Besides, when the woman bumped into him, he felt like he lost something. Although he was not sure, it was true that some
The young man obviously did not expect Philip to grab his arm so quickly. Before he could pull his arm back, it was deformed under Philip’s grasp! “Argh!” The young howled in pain. Philip crushed the bones in his arm in an instant, and he was down in just one exchange. Everyone gasped at this scene, thinking that Philip looked like a gentleman but fought like a savage. The two followers were startled when they saw this and rushed at Philip, but Philip kicked them and broke their ribs in just one blow. The triumphant trio from before fell to the ground groaning in agony, but no one spoke up for them because their earlier attitudes had offended many people. Some people even praised Philip inwardly because he did something no one dared to do. “Are you sure you won’t give it back to me?” At this time, Philip stared at the woman, whose pitiful look had disappeared and was replaced by a cold demeanor. “Oh? That young lady looked quite weak and gentle before. How did she cha
“How is it possible? How can you still move freely?” The woman looked at Philip in disbelief. She had used this method no less than dozens of times and had never missed. Why did she fail now? She had stolen a lot of good stuff with this method and escaped unscathed every time. That was why she could wear branded clothes as a thief. They were easy pickings! “Nothing is impossible. Your mistake was bumping into me. And now I’m curious. Why did you take this token?” Philip asked, puzzled. He had many good things on him, so why did this woman take this token given by Sophie? Was there anything special about it? “Cut the crap and kill me if you want. I won’t tell you anything!” The woman looked at Philip and said coldly, looking as if she was resigned to her death, but Philip was in no rush upon seeing this. He struck the woman on her chest, and energy poured into the latter’s body in an instant. The woman promptly realized that she could not utilize her elemental power now.
At this time, the little white cat looked at Philip curiously before it jumped from his shoulder to his hand. It looked at the wound and shook its head, and a puzzled look crossed its eyes. It stuck out its tongue and tentatively licked the wound. In the next second, its eyes lit up as if it had eaten something delicious. It started to frantically lick Philip's palm. Philip looked down at the strange touch and was confused by the little white cat’s action. What was that little thing doing, eating poison? “What the heck? Don’t poison yourself to death.” Philip exclaimed and tried to push the cat aside, but he was stunned the next second. He found that his wound had healed and the poison had disappeared completely as if nothing had ever happened before. “Did the little thing do this?” Philip looked at the little white cat that was still unsatisfied and felt doubtful. This was his first encounter. After all, even if there was an antidote, it was impossible to recover so qu
“Who dares to kill my grandson? They’ll pay for this!” The old man said coldly, and a murderous aura made everyone around him breathless. “Send someone to keep an eye on the major ports and find the murderer. Find the two useless men too and feed them to the dogs!” The old man said coldly, and a group of people left the manor. Philip had no idea about this. He was still chatting with Dion and Laurie leisurely. Dion was not interested in Philip but rather in Philip's little white cat, and Philip had a flash of inspiration. “Why don’t I appoint you as a poop-shoveling officer and you can help me raise this cat?” Philip spoke, and Dion was taken aback when she heard that. “What post is a poop-shoveling officer?” As Dion had never set foot in the mundane world since she was a child, she was not familiar with modern popular terminology. She asked Laurie beside her, but she had no idea as well. “Uh, don't worry about such details. This cat is yours now, but I have a request
Anyone with any ideas could only shake their heads helplessly after hearing Philip’s remarks. At the same time, they were amazed by the ring’s function. “Wow, that’s great. The person who made this thing must be a genius!” Cameron clapped his hands excitedly. Of course, he was worried that someone would steal his treasure. After all, owning a treasure was a sin in itself. It was inevitable for others to covet his treasure. It would be bad if they attacked him because of greed. With Philip’s explanation, his trouble would be reduced. “That sounds amazing.” The patriarch of the Lamy family seemed dissatisfied. He had some crooked thoughts too. With their family’s financial resources, they could not buy so many rings, so he planned to steal the other two as well. He was not that stupid to steal from Philip, so he could only set his sights on the other major families. Everyone wanted the rings anyway. As long as he refused to admit it, no one would know that he was guilty.
It was too much to use half of the family's assets and properties in exchange for one storage space. “Are you sure about this? Do you know how much that would cost?” “The Lamy family must be crazy to go all out for this treasure!” Everyone complained helplessly. They might be in trouble if the Lamy family insisted on doing it this way. “I know you guys can’t afford it, so stop wasting your time. The Lamy family has made an offer. If you can up the price, go ahead. Don’t stop us from buying that treasure!” the patriarch of the Lamy family said smugly. He felt that his offer was high enough and no one could afford it, so this thing would definitely belong to him. Even Ronan was surprised by this development. He had heard of the Lamy family before. Ronan had worked for the Lamy family before, but their attitude toward him was the same as that of other families—indifferent and disdainful. Therefore, Ronan had the same bad impression about everyone. The Lamy family was not
Rather than saying that they were unwilling to believe it, it was more likely that they did not dare to believe it. Ronan calmly put the ring aside. “I'm wearing a ring that looks better than the ones you're about to get. Watch this.” After saying that, Ronan demonstrated to everyone what a real storage space could do. Anything he took in his hand vanished and appeared at will, which looked simply amazing. Everyone was jealous at this scene. They stared at Ronan’s hands nervously, trying to see if he was performing a magic trick or showing off the storage ring. After Ronan's many demonstrations, they finally confirmed that Ronan was not lying. Everything was true. Everyone exclaimed in amazement. “Wow, I can’t believe that I really saw a storage space in action!” “It’s amazing!” “I have to get hold of one!” Although Sadie had been dealt a heavy blow, she hid in a corner and observed the situation instead of leaving. She wanted to see how things would develop. When S
“Heh, look at those crazy family patriarchs. They can't wait to suck up to Ronan! Do you think they’ll question the Claude family after hearing about the storage space? They’ll only turn up in person to find out about it! “With so many of them putting pressure on us, what do you think we can do? Now, we may not even get that amazing storage space because there are too many people competing with us!” Cameron was furious and almost passed out in anger because of this stupid woman. Sadie scowled at the yard in disbelief as she realized that the crowd causing the commotion was the patriarchs of the other major families. She thought that they were servants sent by the families, but everything was different from what she imagined. “How did this happen? I planned everything perfectly. We just need to throw the wool over their eyes. Things shouldn't have turned out like this!” Sadie almost had a mental breakdown at this bad news. “No way. This is impossible…” Seeing the family
“Forget it. I won't talk to you anymore. I want to claim the credit for what I’ve done!” Sadie quickly turned and left. The butler wanted to stop her, but she vanished before he could say anything. In the end, he remained silent. “The plan really backfired on her. Unfortunately, she can only blame it on her bad luck.” The butler knew the situation the family was facing now. Their residence would probably be turned upside down. The Claude family could have owned a storage space, but everything was ruined now. Not only would they fail to get one, but others would also humiliate them! Sadie quickly arrived at the yard and rolled her eyes at the crowd. “Dad, over here!” Sadie beckoned her father excitedly as if she had great news for him. Cameron was very anxious at this point and wished he could find a solution. When Sadie called him, he thought his solution had appeared. He rushed over and looked at Sadie curiously. “What’s up? Is there any good news?” He was very excited
Everyone was excited to hear that Ronan had those legendary items. It was great. “Our family has to get one!” The patriarch of the Lamy family was the most excited. The members of this family had always been strong-headed and were determined to get it. The other families were unhappy to hear that. They were not that bad either, so they were annoyed by that high-handed remark. “All the major families are powerful in our own rights. I think there’s no need to conclude so quickly.” “I agree. I’m afraid you’ll hide and cry if you fail to get one. That'll be embarrassing.” “Even the major families are not confident about this. Who do you think you are to get it?” Everyone targeted the swell-headed Lamy family even though they were indeed big and powerful enough to steal the treasure from them. The Claude family was the most excited yet regretful. Instead of feeling happy that the families were bickering with each other, they were worried. Although the families were fighting
Besides, Philip mentioned that he would help Ronan make a name for himself. The storage rings that Philip provided were quite meager, with only 30 to 70 cubic feet of storage space each. However, that did not stop Ronan from admiring Philip. He knew that Philip had various treasures, but he was willing to share them with Ronan, which was too generous for words. To prevent Ronan from getting the short end of the stick, Philip also provided some common things for doing business. Due to this, Ronan wanted to serve Philip. In their world, the best way to express gratitude was to acknowledge the other party as their master. It was not only to seize the opportunity but also to find a good roof over their head. Thinking of this, Ronan did not dare to call Philip his brother anymore. Ronan decided to approach Philip at night and find a way to acknowledge him as his master so that he could serve Philip wholeheartedly. Philip had no idea about Ronan’s thoughts. He was still think
Everything Rabbit owned, including the storage space and various treasures, was given by Philip. So, Rabbit could come up with some amazing things for these people to please him. Rabbit felt very proud of this accomplishment. “Ahem, everyone, follow me! I know you’re eager to see Philip, but you have to follow the rules. Don't be as rude as the Claude family!” Rabbit said calmly. He was very unhappy with the Claude family. Hearing that, members of the Claude family were livid. They were shocked by Rabbit's words. He was deliberately putting them down! Those remarks were likely to affect their status among the major families. That off-handed tone might cause other major families to reject them. “I’m surprised that this family would be so arrogant and disrespect you!” “How could they treat that precious storage space so carelessly? I say, those people are too bold to disregard such a valuable treasure!” “This family is stupid and arrogant. Let's ignore them to avoid any ass
However, Cameron and his people were arrogant enough to lock Philip up. How dare they?! “Cameron, you went too far!” “I never knew that the Claude family were such people. I really misjudged you before. You’re really too much for treating such an amazing person that way.” Everyone pretended to be angry and kept speaking up for Philip, trying to please Rabbit and indirectly please Philip. Cameron was startled by Rabbit’s words, which easily landed him in trouble. “No, that's not exactly the case. I didn't lock Philip up but gave him a place to stay. How would I dare to lock up such a powerful person? You really think too highly of me.” However, Cameron’s explanation was useless. Everyone believed that Cameron locked Philip up on purpose, so they wanted to get him into trouble. Whether Cameron locked Philip up or treated Philip as a valuable guest, they wanted to ruin Cameron’s reputation. Once they got rid of Cameron, they could focus on pleasing Philip. “You must be
