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
The pills given by Philip were so amazing that Elmer could not afford to get angry even if he wanted to. “Patriarch, have you gone mad?” Lilian was so angry that she had forgotten her position. If Elmer did not seek justice on her behalf, she had to forget about this vengeance. Before Elmer could criticize Lilian, the host announced that the auction had begun. This auction was very different from others. They did not even have a list of items. No one knew what would happen next. It was a mysterious auction, indeed. Everyone sat in confusion, staring at the host on the stage eagerly. It was quite bizarre for the Harrod family to organize an auction like this. “Say, you don’t even have an auction list for us. What are we supposed to expect?” someone in the crowd finally complained. They felt the Harrod family was too hasty in holding this auction, and the fees incurred were not low. Everyone felt very unhappy after spending a huge sum of money to attend such a useless
The onlookers were not stupid and knew that the changes happened after they smelled the herbal fragrance. After everyone realized the pill's effect, Elmer kept the pill in a bottle. He looked at everyone smugly as if he could not wait to brag about it. Everyone scowled, feeling that he was up to no good. When Elmer put away the pill, they immediately felt everything returning to normal. The ability to automatically absorb the surrounding energy was gone. The energy recovery also stopped. They had returned to a state of energy deprivation. Feeling the changes in their bodies, everyone seemed troubled. “Patriarch Harrod, can you show us the pill again?” someone suggested. Everyone looked at Elmer expectantly. They wanted to smell the pill again as they were amazed by its effects. Just a whiff could produce such changes in their bodies. What would happen if they ate it? “Did you show us this pill because it’s for sale? If that’s the case, I'm willing to pay a pre
Everyone stared at Elmer eagerly. They could not wait to get their hands on the pill. “Stop talking and get on with the auction!” “That’s right. Hurry up and state the price. I’ll buy it no matter how much it costs!” Everyone knew this thing could save their lives and would buy it no matter how expensive it was. However, it was not that easy to get it with so many forces around. “We've prepared five different types of pills with two pills each,” the host announced calmly, but he was panicking inwardly. He had no idea that the patriarch would be auctioning such a precious pill. As a member of the Harrod family, he did not know that the patriarch had such a treasure. He wondered why the pill was put up for auction instead of using it within the family, but someone in his position had no right to ask questions. He could only do the job assigned to him. Hearing that there were two pills of each kind up for auction, everyone became excited. Everyone smiled brightly and
The two energy replenishment pills were quickly sold at very high prices. Philip looked at the list and saw that one of the buyers was the Pill Guild. The Pill Guild was indeed very wealthy to spend so many emerald stones to buy an ordinary pill. Other pills with different effects were also auctioned off one after another, seemingly very popular with the crowd. Philip only accepted emerald stones for this auction, and some hoarders clearly gained the upper hand. Those who did not prepare enough emerald stones were very regretful. Surprisingly, the Pill Guild managed to get five pills, accounting for half of the total. They were very wealthy, indeed. Other guilds had to think twice about spending so much money, but not the Pill Guild. They bought one of each type and left the remaining for the others to fight over. After the auction, Philip got his wish and received a lot of money. The auction ended, but no one left. They wanted to get to know Philip. Everyone kn
Yule was amazed by the person in the portrait, not expecting to see such a beautiful woman. He was somewhat skeptical after seeing the drawing. He had never seen such a beautiful woman in his life. Could it be the other party’s imagination? “Don’t worry, Yule. This woman is definitely real. I have an eye for beauty, so I’d never make a mistake.” Yule nodded at his subordinate's suggestive expression. Even if he was unreliable in other aspects, he would never mess up in this area. He was notorious for hanging out in various entertainment venues and was not a good guy. Yule quickly made copies of the woman’s portrait and spread the news everywhere. He looked forward to meeting this beautiful woman as soon as possible. In the meantime, Aslan finished his meal and walked on the streets idly. Yule stood on the streets, confident that he would find the woman with so many people helping him. “Hey, what's going on? Why is Foxy’s portrait posted everywhere? Has someone discovered he
“No matter what I do next, you and your people just need to go with the flow. If you agree, I’ll do my best to take care of the beast problem immediately. Of course, you don't have to worry about my source of information. My lips are sealed on this topic.” Yule quickly reached an agreement with these people. Then, Yule arrived at a remote house where all his men were hiding. He asked his men to do something unlawful for him, and they entered the beast forest by mistake because they wanted to escape justice, but they ran into Foxy by accident. Foxy realized from birth that she and her kind had a grudge against humans, but she was an inexperienced youngling, after all. She did not know much about humans and failed to notice their ulterior motives. The other party took note of Foxy’s appearance and made a detour back to safety. Yule arrived at his subordinate’s house anxiously. “Tell me everything you know about that person again. I have some information but it’s not compreh
“Let’s do it this way. We can treat this as a test. If he can solve this problem, we’ll give him a chance.” “That’s a good idea. The beasts have always been a thorn in our sides. It’ll be great if we can take care of this once and for all.” “Since he looks so confident, maybe he can really resolve this. We might as well make use of him to get rid of this problem.” “The beasts have been fighting with us for many years. We can save a lot of trouble if this plan succeeds.” Everyone expressed their opinion and seemed very keen to rely on Yule to solve this difficult problem. Ten minutes were soon up, and Yule quickly returned to the room. He looked very relaxed and even had a drink in his hand. “So, gentlemen, are you done with the discussion? Do you have a better suggestion for my future development?” Yule smiled triumphantly, obviously certain of his victory. As he expected, everyone chose to give in. After all, this was not something anyone could do. Yule would be the best
Yule felt very smug after seeing everyone’s reactions. Clearly, these people could only rely on him to take care of this problem. “Since you’re so curious, let me explain. Indeed, someone is controlling the situation behind the scenes. She can easily control the beasts with her ability. However, I don’t know the woman’s identity. Maybe she’s a powerful being or just an ordinary person. Who knows?” Yule's subordinates were the ones who told him what they saw that day. “I know that woman’s appearance, so I know what to do. You don’t have to worry about it.” Everyone glanced at each other with a grim look, wondering if they should believe Yule. After all, Yule knew something they did not. “Hehe, I just wanted to tell you my plans, that’s all.” Yule wanted to take control of the initiative. The elders and people in charge looked worried. They knew exactly what Yule wanted. “I want a certain authority. Of course, it should be higher than my father’s limit. As you know, I’ve al
Compared to the money they earned at Deadly Arena, the accommodation fee was nothing. Therefore, many people chose to stay in the living quarters provided by Deadly Arena and thought the environment was quite good. The people of Deadly Arena knew about the crisis they were facing. Something felt wrong, so they had to pay attention to it. “Don’t you find the beasts acting strangely this time? They didn’t seem interested in our things but simply left after giving us a warning.” “Yeah, I think something is wrong too. There must be a secret behind it. We have to figure it out.” The people in charge of Deadly Arena gathered for a meeting over this major incident. Yule looked at everyone with disdain as if he thought they were worried over nothing. “The beasts obviously recognized our strength, so they backed away. Stop worrying over nothing.” Yule had always thought highly of himself and looked down on everything. Hearing this, everyone scowled and wished they could teach Yule
“Foxy was the one controlling the beast stampede earlier. The beasts would've razed this place to the ground if I hadn't stopped them in time.” Philip shook his head helplessly. The fence around Deadly Arena had been flattened during the stampede, enough to prove how terrible the earlier battle was. “But of course!” Foxy nodded smugly. The people here would probably be in bad shape if she had not stopped the attack in time. Philip smiled and shook his head. “This young lady is a force to be reckoned with. She simply had to blow a flute to control all the beasts.""I'm sure that all the guilds will try every means to capture Foxy if they find out about her ability,” Lyle said, envious of her ability. Aslan sighed awkwardly. As a monster beast, he had no ability in other areas at all. He could only use his brawn to intimidate others. As if he felt the difference in strength, Aslan lowered his head and was too embarrassed to say another word. Foxy chatted with everyone happil
Aslan was surprised to see Philip bringing a petite and beautiful woman back all of a sudden. “Hey, Philip, where did you pick up such a beautiful woman? I'm so envious.” “You sure have luck with women, Philip. You picked up such a beautiful woman just by going out. It’d be great if I have such luck too.” Aslan and Lyle started teasing Philip, annoying him so much that he almost knocked them out. “Cut the crap. Her name is Foxy, and she's our new teammate. Come with me, everyone. We need to find a safe place to discuss our next plans.” Philip quickly took everyone away. He looked very excited, obviously looking forward to his next plan. Everyone nodded excitedly at Philip’s appearance. They were also curious, wondering what Philip was going to do. Since the beasts had retreated, everyone returned to the lounge area for a break without further ado. Deadly Arena would also be closed for the day and reopen the next day. The inn Philip chose for them was quite luxurious, an
Since their master was dead, these subordinates had to approach the people of Deadly Arena for help. They would be bullied without a master to take charge. They finally found a chance to join a strong employer. Now that he was dead, everyone was at a loss for what to do. “What? He’s dead? This is too much. Find out who those people are. I don’t care which force they belong to or who they have behind them, we need to wipe them out!” This person was Amos, the second in command of Deadly Arena. He knew how to deal with such provocation. “These people are too bold to touch a member of my family. Everyone knows that our children are powerful and undefeatable on this battlefield.” The second in command was annoyed and not in the mood to deal with this incident. His anger over this matter added to his initial agitation. His subordinates were surprised to see his irritation. “What’s wrong, Amos? Why are you so upset? Are the beasts up to something again?” As the second-in-comma
On the battlefield, Aslan was puzzled by the beasts’ sudden retreat. “Maybe the beasts are scared shitless by our strong combat power and decided to give up.” “You got that right. I killed several of them at once and looked really cool.” “But I have a feeling that the beasts this year are much stronger and have greater potential.” Everyone spoke excitedly. The people who killed many beasts had returned for their rewards. They thought highly of the rewards and could not wait to take all the treasures of Deadly Arena.… “Can you control the beasts from a distance?” Philip asked curiously. Foxy nodded. “I can control these beasts no matter where I am. It’s my individual talent.” Since everything went as planned, Philip pondered what to do next. “You should come with me. I’ll tell you about my next plan in detail.” Philip decided to bring Foxy into Deadly Arena. Foxy nodded seriously. She trusted Philip very much and never doubted him at all. He felt a little embarra
