“If we raise the price for the final item, it won’t do us any good!” Rocco said. He knew very well that his family purchased the last auction item at a high price. If they sold it at a high price again, they would definitely be criticized. If this matter was exposed, the image of the family and the company that they worked so hard to maintain would be ruined. “If he’s really interested in that thing, we’ll raise the price and let him buy it at a high price. Then, we’ll kill him and get the thing back!” In fact, they had no intention of selling this thing at all. No matter who bought it in the end, there was only one outcome. If the other party was very strong or had a powerful family background, Rocco would consider sparing their lives. However, if it was Philip, Rocco would not hesitate to kill him as soon as possible. Rocco was full of hatred for Philip. He knew that this grudge must be resolved. After hearing the instructions from his boss, the shill bidder nodded.
Preston and his family gave Philip a very pure and comfortable impression. Even if he knew they were after something, Philip was still willing to associate with them. This family sought greater good for the world, not personal gain! Philip admired such a family from the bottom of his heart. “Hey, take a look at the last auction item. It looks amazing!” Sandra handed the auction brochure to the two of them and pointed at something called Cockatrice Orb. Philip became excited at the name. He knew exactly what it was. Cockatrice Orb was the eyeball of the mythical cockatrice, and it produced many effects. Forging this orb on a weapon could produce many special effects. Philip was eager to get hold of the Cockatrice Orb and clenched his fists with joy. Now that he was back on the ancestral land, he had no weapons because everything was inside Verge Tower! After all, Verge Tower had been destroyed and became a spirit body in his mind. If he wanted to recover his weap
They might stand a chance to get the item if they used potions in exchange for it. Preston had not come across anything he wanted, so he had not taken his potions out. Philip smiled at Preston’s gesture. He did not intend to take Preston’s stuff. Instead, he planned to hand his things to Preston and ask Preston to bid for the item. “I bid one billion for this item!” While everyone discussed this orb, someone in the audience below suddenly spoke. Everyone looked over curiously and saw an unfamiliar young man. They wondered about the other party’s identity while mobilizing their funds. Normal people would find it impossible to exchange in kind. No one could come up with valuable things in exchange for this item. They could only bid and raise the price. In the blink of an eye, the price of the Cockatrice Orb soared to four billion. This price had exceeded most people’s expectations. It was incredible that these people had so much money to spend lavishly. “It’s
Although these things were valuable, most of them were available on the market, so it would not make any difference at the auction. As for the Stein family's seven billion in funds, Philip had no intention of using them. He could not afford to pay back seven billion. Since he wanted to get the Cockatrice Orb, no one else should pay for it. Philip patted Preston on the shoulder and motioned for him to put the things away. “I don’t need your potions or money. I need you to do me a favor.” Philip smiled. “Take this pill and use your identity to exchange for that item.” Philip knew that the Stein family had a certain status. Anyone who knew anything about reclusive families would not dare to mess with Preston. The best option was to get Preston to face the public. For any pill transactions in the future, the Stein family could also do it on his behalf. Preston became solemn at Philip’s suggestion. He knew that he could not change Philip’s decision. He could only exc
Preston was very outspoken and did not mince his words. Hearing this, displeasure flashed across Sandra's face. In her years of roaming the streets, no one had ever dared to speak to her like this! “What makes you so arrogant? You got your position with Philip’s help too. Could you get in here without Philip?” Sandra scowled at Preston’s loftiness. This guy was just an errand boy. He had no right to speak to her this way! With Sandra's qualifications and abilities, she had no right to know anyone from the Stein family, so it was normal for her to assume that Preston was an errand boy. Preston burst into laughter at Sandra’s words. He did not rush to deny anything. He merely smiled and nodded. “Yeah, I’m just an errand boy. As for you, you don’t even stand a chance to ride on other people’s coattails,” Preston retaliated harshly. Philip looked at Sandra coldly with no intention of helping her. Sandra was disappointed in Philip’s indifference. She thought that she
Everyone knew about the amazing lite potion. After taking it, a person’s body would become extremely light. When escaping, one’s running speed would be accelerated many times. It was a definite life-saver. Therefore, the lite potion was a necessary tool for survival. Many people were very interested in this potion and asked if they could purchase it privately. The old man smiled and said, “The Forrest Guild is proficient in making potions, but the lite potion is very costly to make, and the materials are scarce, so we only have five sets. This is the sum of our hard work over the years. Each potion is extremely expensive. "We can consider selling them, but the price will be pretty steep. This time, we plan to use three panax roots and one lite potion in exchange for the Cockatrice Orb.” The elder of the Forrest Guild seemed very proud of his guild. Preston made his appearance at this time. “I have a replenishment pill that can replenish one's energy after taking it. I'm
In Rocco’s opinion, although the Cockatrice Orb was important, he could get it back after getting rid of Philip. There were very few opportunities to exchange for pills, so he could not miss it! “You may auction the other pill. I only want money.” Preston handed both pills to the staff, who presented the Cockatrice Orb to him. Rocco received one of the replenishment pills with trembling hands. He could feel endless energy from this extraordinary pill! At the same time, he was apprehensive about the Stein family. To produce this terrifying pill proved their solid background. He had to avoid Preston and deal with Philip secretly. He would be doomed if Preston discovered his plot. Although he was not afraid of Preston, he must have a lot of pills on hand since his family produced them. Rocco would not have an advantage in a fight, so sneaking up on Philip was the best option. The replenishment pill was quickly put on auction, and the price was soon raised to tens o
Philip had roughly guessed the situation! No wonder no one followed him. It turned out that these people had gotten hold of his information and were waiting in ambush at his home! Philip hastily kicked the house door open and rushed inside. As soon as he entered the door, he saw four people tied up. They were none other than Wynn and the others! Mila was tied up so tightly that her arms were red and chaffed. Martha was sobbing while wiggling on the ground like an earthworm. “You’re finally back.” The leader dressed in black grinned brightly as Philip barged in. He had been waiting here for more than ten minutes. Philip was finally home. Before Philip could question him, a man in a suit walked out from the side. “What took you so long? Did you think we got someone to follow you? How stupid!” That person was none other than Rocco. Philip glared at him furiously, surprised by his viciousness. “No matter what, you shouldn’t have gotten my family members involved.”
