Montel had told everyone this prediction before Philip returned. Everyone wondered what to do. No one knew what this crisis was. Even with the Zucker family’s wisdom, they only found an estimated date after sacrificing many years of practice. Everyone was worried about facing this unknown fear. “Don’t worry. Since the date is June 17, we have enough time to prepare for it.” Philip felt that this time was not enough, but with the time difference between the foreign land and the ancestral land, it could buy them some time. Philip quickly decided. After some instructions, he took Aslan to the Guzo Continent. Aslan immediately felt the abundant energy. “Philip, this place is really different. Not even the ancestral land after energy was revived can compare to this!” Philip nodded. It was indeed the case. As a place exclusive for practice, they would get twice the result with half the effort here. “However, the people in this place aren’t that easy to deal with. After
Although Kimberly was unhappy about her son’s suggestion, she did not expect Figo to bring Scarlet back so quickly. Seeing this elegant and beautiful woman, Kimberly did not feel good about it. Kimberly had always treated her son as a treasure, so she could hardly accept his relationship with a beautiful woman. “Hello, Mrs. Larson,” Scarlet greeted Kimberly gently. She could feel Kimberly’s hostility toward her. At this moment, Scarlet resented the fact that her charm was only effective on men. If her charm had the same effect on a woman, Scarlet did not have to worry about this woman’s objections. Kimberly was just an ordinary and weak practitioner who could hardly withstand her attack. If this trick worked on women, Kimberly would be more subservient than Figo. Scarlet could only play the humble act and hope to reduce Kimberly’s hostility. As an employee of Bijou Parlor, Scarlet was a diplomatic person. Kimberly felt much better at Scarlet’s humble attitude. Sin
Scarlet was very worried that she would lose such a big customer if Figo persisted. The auction would be held in three days. Everything would be over if she offended Figo at this time. Figo thought that Scarlet was just being modest and quickly stepped in to put in a good word for her. In Figo’s opinion, they were madly in love with each other. After chatting pretentiously for a while, Scarlet finally left. Kimberly and Figo were quite pleased with the meeting. Over the years, Kimberly had never seen such a humble woman. Kimberly was happy that Scarlet was aware of her humble background and maintained this inferior attitude throughout the whole process. Kimberly hoped that this humbleness could boost her sense of superiority. No matter what, she had to be the queen of this household. “I can consider this matter for the time being, but the actual outcome will depend on Scarlet’s performance. If I’m not happy with her, you can forget about it,” Kimberly said loftily bef
The attendants saw Aslan’s reaction and felt a little confused. This was the first time they saw this reaction after working here for many years. Other onlookers seemed unhappy at this big guy’s pretentiousness. Obviously, this guy was belittling the products because he could not afford them. “How annoying.” At this time, Scarlet grumbled as she returned to Bijou Parlor. She wished she could smack the high and mighty look off Kimberly’s face. As the person in charge of Bijou Parlor, everyone always adopted a humble attitude in front of her. However, that ignorant and ridiculous woman dared to humiliate her like this. If not for her good upbringing, Scarlet would have killed her already. “If I ever see that woman alone, I’ll cut her into pieces!” Scarlet mumbled angrily as she walked. As soon as she entered the door, Scarlet saw a handsome figure. It was none other than Philip, who had been on her mind all day. Scarlet wanted to look for Philip, but he simply vanis
Philip burst out laughing at Aslan’s remark. Although he had noticed Scarlet’s tricks, he was considerate and did not expose her on the spot. After all, this might be Scarlet's business tactic. Exposing it might embarrass her. However, Aslan was different. He was a direct person and would never consider these issues. In his opinion, being forthright was the most honest and sincere way. Even after being exposed to the human way of life, Aslan still found it difficult to change his straightforward nature. Aslan scratched his head at Scarlet's explanation. “Really? How could you not know? I clearly felt the charm you used on me.” Aslan felt that this woman was very dishonest and gave her a bad rating. He preferred honest women. Fortunately, Aslan did not speak loudly, and no one around him heard him clearly. Before Scarlet could say something to ease the embarrassment, Figo hurried over. He had prepared some gifts for Scarlet, but she left in such a hurry that he
Everyone waited for Scarlet to clarify the situation, but she was at a loss too. Scarlet never thought something like this would happen to her. “My mother is very happy with you, so we can start thinking about our marriage preparations.” Figo did not notice the change in Scarlet’s expression and spoke mindlessly. Many customers started to leave. Seeing that Scarlet was about to marry Figo, they were very disappointed. “Sir Larson, I really can't agree to this!” Scarlet said loudly, trying to win her customers back. Sure enough, they hesitated and looked at Scarlet expectantly. If Scarlet rejected Figo outright, they would consider supporting her again. Figo was puzzled but quickly realized that it had to be because of the big gap between their backgrounds. Before Figo could say anything, he noticed Philip watching the fun in the crowd. Philip and a tall man next to him were watching curiously as if they were waiting for Figo to make a fool of himself. Although h
Scarlet watched in confusion, surprised that Figo would mess with Philip. She wanted to mend her relationship with Philip, but Figo ruined her plan. Figo glanced at the female attendant standing next to him and winked at her. Although he kept declaring his love for Scarlet, he would not give up on other beautiful women either. As long as the other party was a beautiful woman, Figo would not care about anything else. He was not only interested in Scarlet but all the other female attendants in the store too. The attendant was frightened by Figo’s wink and quickly retreated to the lounge. Figo turned to Philip smugly, certain that he was sure to win. Bill was Figo’s butler, a capable person responsible for protecting Figo's safety. Figo was very confident with Bill around. “Why go out? Can’t we do it here?” Philip laughed. He had no time to waste. Philip did not have a good impression of Scarlet to begin with. Now that someone wanted to make a move, he would not sa
Bill was very angry that someone so young dared to speak to him like that. “How dare you?!” He and his men guarded the door, waiting to teach Philip a lesson. Philip would step out of the door eventually, and it would mean certain death for him! They were not allowed to use energy inside Bijou Parlor, but no one said anything about outside. The moment Philip walked out of this building would mean his death! Everyone looked at Philip with worry, certain that he was no match for the other party. Although no one knew how strong Philip was, the age difference between the two said it all. Bill had more practical experience than Philip, and he was a very vicious and powerful henchman of the Larson family. Philip could never hope to defeat this old man. Aslan scoffed. “Who does this guy think he is? He shouldn't think he can do whatever he wants just because he's old. I won't buy that!” Everyone took their hats off Aslan’s bad temper, but they were worried about the outc
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
