Elmer still felt resentful over Philip's refusal to join him, but he knew that his future was over if he offended Philip today. Philip could make all sorts of pills. If Philip came up with something good but Elmer lost the right to buy it, he would be doomed. Philip's words enlightened Elmer. Although Elmer was a reckless man who did not use his brains, he was quite good at sizing up the situation sometimes. Maurice was hoping to see a conflict between Elmer and Philip, but in the next second, Elmer treated Philip with respect instead. Maurice was puzzled and felt it was unfair. Instead of attacking Philip, Elmer treated Philip like he was a distinguished guest. Even as a leader of a guild with an honorable status, Elmer had never treated him that way. How could Elmer do that to Philip? Was this how a family head should behave? Maurice was very unhappy to see that Elmer had returned to his senses. He scowled as he tried to plan his next move. He was not sincere ab
As Maurice fled with his tail tucked between his legs, Elmer smiled triumphantly. Although he was not the cause of it, Elmer did not lose either. “This is the Harrod family's communication token!” Elmer also handed over his family's green token, which Philip accepted. He hoped that more people would do business with him so that not only could he make more money but control various forces as well. “I think you’re a good person. In that case, I’ll hand an important task to you,” Philip said with a smile. He could not create a name for himself on his own. Since the Harrod family wanted to please him, he could make good use of them. “I want to hold a pill auction and appraisal in two days, and I want to leave everything to you. I want everyone in the reclusive world to know about my pills.” Philip gazed at Elmer searingly. He knew that this was not difficult for Elmer. Elmer raised his eyebrows at Philip's words, surprised to learn his wild ambitions. He actually wanted
The Pill Guild knew all about Philip’s pills, so they would never miss such a good opportunity. Hence, they shared the same idea. They wanted to sign up at the last minute so that there would be fewer competitors. Very soon, it was the final hour to purchase tickets. Only a few small families bought tickets. Although some large families had a good relationship with the Harrod family, no one took action. These families sent scouts to the Harrod family to understand the situation, and the answers they received were surprisingly consistent. They were told to attend the auction. Who would accept this response? The Harrod family had never held an auction before. How would they know what to do? Due to everyone's distrust, the Harrod family sold very few tickets so far. At the last moment, the Pill Guild signed up. They arranged for some members to purchase the tickets secretly, but the news still leaked. Of course, it was all thanks to the Harrod family. The Harro
Philip had no idea about the Pill Guild’s wild thoughts. After all, he had never come into contact with a pill from the Pill Guild before. Of course, he would be shocked if he did. How could such rubbish exist in this world, and why would anyone rush to buy them? Although ironic, it was true. As a victim who had bought some pills from the Pill Guild before, Fennel felt aggrieved. If he had known that Philip could make such powerful pills, he would have come back earlier. He was also very jealous of the weapons Philip owned. All of the weapons Philip owned were of the highest quality. Although they looked very ordinary like those wielded by commoners, one would realize the power of these weapons during a fight. It would be great if he had such an inconspicuous but substantial weapon. Fennel glanced at his storage ring, suddenly displeased by the sight of his elegant halberd. Who made this halberd so bright and colorful? This weapon looked very domineering at first
In desperation, they could only buy time. When they were about to lose control, Philip appeared. Elmer breathed a sigh of relief and felt as if he had seen hope in Philip. He would be doomed if Philip played him out. Not only would he offend these families, but he would also generate many enemies. Even if he was the head of the Harrod family, he could not afford to mess with these people. Philip noticed Elmer’s anxiety but remained unfazed as if everything was under his control. He smiled brightly and waved at Elmer. “Don’t worry, I’ve made all the arrangements.” Philip took out ten pills from his pocket. There were two pills each of five different varieties. “These are the items for auction. The instructions for the use and effects of the pills are stated on them. You can have a look at them. After the auction, I’ll reward you with some pills too.” Philip grabbed two chairs from the side and leisurely sat down with Fennel. Elmer was very happy. He knew how wonder
Lilian was full of anticipation and could already picture the sight of Philip’s death in her mind. Denzel was embarrassed while Paco said nothing, ignoring Lilian. Lilian scowled at them and asked warily, “What do you mean by this?” Denzel glanced at Paco but found Paco looking away. Denzel cursed him inwardly for his treachery. Seeing his sister's curiosity, Denzel sighed and decided to tell her the whole story. “We didn’t kill Philip. We have great use for him.” He did not think he could kill Philip. He had to rely on Paco for that. If Paco was unwilling to take action, Denzel could not kill Philip even if he wanted to. Although he had always been very confident in himself, he had to be cautious in this situation. If Philip used his pills to entice others, Denzel believed that even Paco would kill Denzel for Philip's pills! How could he take the chance? Lilian almost went mad with anger at Denzel’s words. How could this guy be such an idiot? “You’re such a l
Paco had no feelings for Lilian, who was arrogant and domineering. She even asked him to bring his monster beasts to join the Harrod family. Paco had given up his last shred of compassion for Lilian. He would not have kept in touch with Lilian if not for his useless son. Now that his son was dead, he wanted to cut off all ties. If Philip’s resources had not caught his attention, he would have left already. He had no intention of taking revenge for his useless son at all. Terence did not inherit any monster beast genes and looked more human, which displeased Paco. Terence could not even transform into a monster beast, which showed how useless he was. If Terence had the bloodline of a monster beast, his practice speed would have been astonishingly fast. He would have been able to level up to such an extent that no one could touch him. However, he was no good and simply an embarrassment to Paco. Paco could not hold his head high with this son. Now that Terence was dead
Due to her lowly status, many other guilds did not treat Lilian well either. Lilian felt inferior enough because of that. Unexpectedly, Philip treated her the same way. Was she such a pushover that everyone could take advantage of? Lilian’s expression changed rapidly. She was too angry for words. Philip saw her face so clearly that he thought his eyes were playing tricks on him. “Wow, this woman’s face can change color!” Philip joked. It was his first time seeing such animated expressions on a woman’s face. Lilian’s face had flushed so red that it almost turned purple. “You killed my son. I have to settle the score with you,” Lilian said through gritted teeth, wishing she could kill Philip. Philip looked unfamiliar, so he was probably not from a big guild. Lilian believed that he should not know about her status in the Harrod family. As a member of the Harrod family, she could use this fact to threaten Philip. Philip knew she was here for revenge but had no idea
“Since that’s your request, I’ll oblige.” Philip flew up the stage and quickly landed next to the old monk. Everyone was jealous to see Philip forging a connection with the old monk. Many people at the scene recognized Philip and knew who he was. “Look, isn't that Philip? I can’t believe that the old monk is so interested in Philip. It seems that we can’t take Philip lightly.” “I always thought Philip was a loser, but maybe I’m mistaken.” “He’s on very good terms with the Celestial Palace. Why would you think he was a loser?” Everyone discussed this topic with great interest. Carlos was quite close to Philip, so he felt proud to hear those comments. He knew that everyone was just jealous of Philip. The old monk stretched out his hand and invited Philip to go to his room. Philip nodded at his indication. “You look like a newcomer. Sure enough, the younger generation is taking over the world. For someone at your age to reach this level, you’re certainly a force to be
No one had ever seen the old monk, so they did not know what he was like. Philip and his party soon arrived at Zenith, which looked very grand just like a palace. The large arena in the middle was crowded with people. Everyone was looking at the stage, waiting to pay homage to this legendary old monk. Some people had seen the old monk and heard his lecture in the past. They felt that they had benefited from it, so they arrived early this time to grab a good spot. Others had never seen the old monk, but they knew they would benefit from his lecture about practice. Philip and Carlos squeezed into the middle of the crowd and found seats. Philip was very curious about the old monk and could not wait to see him. Soon, the old monk appeared in front of everyone. He looked very impressive. Seeing his attire, Philip felt that this old man was definitely not an ordinary person. His clothes were very expensive, not something anyone could afford. It was not only in reference to the pr
Rabbit was attacked by the spell before he could react. He stood on the spot blankly, wondering what was going on. Rabbit tried to move when he felt that something was wrong with him. He seemed to have lost control of his body and could not move. “You have no say in this matter. Since you left with me, it means that you've agreed to follow me.” The hooded man was calm. He did not think that Rabbit could escape his clutches easily. After all, the piece of yellow paper was not an ordinary item. He had gone to great lengths to get it. He could control the rabbit’s mind and body fearlessly with that piece of yellow paper. Over time, the rabbit would eventually become his puppet. The hooded man was very excited to think that he would have a powerful helper. Rabbit lost his senses and had no idea what happened. Subconsciously, Rabbit wanted to resist, but he could not for some reason. He could only stand and wait for orders. “Hey, bring me a glass of water,” the hooded man said
“I sense a familiar vibe from you. Where are you from?” Rabbit asked curiously. He had a feeling that this man did not belong to this world. He felt familiar. The man stared at Rabbit while thinking about how to take it away. “I have many secrets. Do you want to know more? Come with me, then. I can give you a good life and help you quickly level up. You can become the best rabbit in existence and stand at the top of this world!” Rabbit hopped over and nodded excitedly. He knew that this person was mysterious and weird, so he wanted to find out more. The hooded man was shocked that this rabbit was dumb enough to leave with him. However, he did not reveal his smugness and just held the rabbit in his arms devoutly. He never thought that he could have such a powerful pet. Thinking of this, he decided to do something to make this rabbit his own. This rabbit had developed intelligence, so it would not agree to become his pet so easily. Rabbit was just leaving with him, but being
The hooded man was very interested in Rabbit and wanted to make contact with him to find out more about him. He quickly found Philip’s house and was surprised to find that it was surrounded by a barrier that blocked all his perceptions, which made him conflicted. It was not a place he could enter at will. He felt some energy fluctuations from formations too. If he was not mistaken, entering this place would be dangerous for him. After much deliberation, he turned around and left without staying any longer. His visit here was enough to verify his guess. Since Philip could come up with such a powerful formation and barrier, he was certainly a force to be reckoned with. At the very least, Philip was not someone he could deal with so easily. As for Rabbit, the hooded man was not bothered by him at all. He just wanted to know how Philip subdued such a powerful pet. The hooded man had dealt with many monster beasts in the past but failed to subdue any. He had even suffered badly un
“Philip's strength mostly comes from his very powerful pet rabbit. Although it's a monster beast, it's a force to be reckoned with. It isn't something anyone can deal with,” Hogster said with lingering fear. He could not forget how Rabbit had beaten Alain to a pulp. “Yes, the rabbit is a force to be reckoned with. You'd better not mess with it for no reason. I really wonder where such a powerful monster beast came from.” Alain seemed very steadfast, but he was already having a mental meltdown. However, he did not want to embarrass himself in public, so he gritted his teeth and hung on. The hooded man looked at Alain and sneered inwardly. He took out a pill from his pocket and handed it to him. “Take this or I’m afraid you’ll collapse soon.” He could notice Alain’s condition at a glance and knew he would not last long. “Forget it. I won’t hide it from you. In fact, the rabbit inflicted all these injuries on me. I wouldn’t be in this miserable state if the rabbit weren’t that
Although the strength of the test subject had increased, he was not highly valued at all because his talent was not affected and did not meet the guild’s requirements. “Okay, you may leave now. Your strength has improved, so make sure to practice hard and don’t let us down,” Alain said grandly, sending the other party away. He knew that this person was nothing but a loser. The guild member who was the test subject had no idea how pathetic he was. Instead, he looked at Alain with excitement and gratitude. Hogster swallowed the potion without hesitation. He quickly felt the changes in his body as if he had become very powerful in just a few seconds. Hogster looked at the hooded man in surprise. He never thought that he could become so strong. “Wow, this is amazing!” Hogster was shocked by this unexpected outcome. His lack of self-esteem was quickly replaced with brimming confidence, and he even had the urge to mess with Philip. In his opinion, Philip was nothing special. Now
“Don’t worry, I mean no harm. That thing is quite good.” The silly member took the potion nervously and looked at Alain expectantly. “Sir, I think I’m getting stronger!” The silly guy showed off his strength excitedly. Alain stepped forward and examined the guild member curiously. Sure enough, his strength had increased. Alain found the increase in strength quite incredible. Moreover, he did not find any side effects on the other party, which was the most surprising. This potion was amazing beyond anyone’s imagination! Alain was very excited and wished he could take it too. “I believe you should know the value of this potion. Just win the competition and stop worrying about the rest.” Alain and the hooded man stepped aside to discuss offering the boys and girls. Hogster was taken aback to hear them. The two quickly reached an agreement as they knew how unethical this transaction was. “Father, you actually agreed to his request! Aren't you afraid that it’ll be expose
By taking the potion, a person could increase their overall strength, and there would be no side effects. It was a miracle potion, indeed. Alain was stunned to hear that. He felt that the hooded man was bragging. How could there be such an amazing potion? “Are you serious? It can’t be that simple.” Alain took the potion from the other party and sized it up, wondering if he should trust this thing. “If you don't believe it, you can give it a try. I don’t mind. You have many people under your command anyway. You can choose to use them as a test subject.” The hooded man was quite cold and aloof in both his actions and speech. Alain nervously clenched the potion tightly. “In that case, I’ll give it a try. Let me find someone.” Alain did not fully trust the hooded man’s words. In his opinion, it was better to play it safe. Who knew if anything would happen? He was nervous about giving something like this to his precious son. At this time, a guild member who was not highly valu
