Tory was surprised that Philip and Aslan arrived so quietly. Even the most powerful practitioner would leave some traces, but these two people floated over just like a gust of wind. Seeing the two in their strange attire, Tory greeted them politely, “I’m glad to see both of you.” He poured them some tea while almost choking with emotion. Aslan waved his hand and took out a can of soda. He had a recent addiction to soda and carried a lot with him. In his opinion, Philip’s storage ring was just nice to keep his snacks and drinks. Tory was surprised to see Aslan easily conjuring a strange item from the storage ring. Of course, he was more surprised that Aslan actually owned a storage ring at such a young age. With his qualifications and level, he only owned a storage bag. A person had to be at the Imperial City level to own a storage ring. Aslan scratched his head in embarrassment when he noticed Tory staring fixedly at his ring. Philip nudged Aslan. “Why don’t you
Philip smiled calmly. Even without the mayor, he could take care of this disgusting family. The mayor would simply make things faster. “It’s a deal. Don’t go back on your word!” Tory did not expect Philip to agree so readily. It was the first time a negotiation went so smoothly for him. Therefore, he was wary about this. However, as long as Philip did not deviate from the plan, he would not do anything either. After all, his purpose was to deal with the Larson family as quickly as possible. As long as he could get rid of the Larson family, many problems would be solved. However, it was easier said than done. The eldest son of the family who was far away in Imperial City played a very important role. If he found out that his family in Orbit City was destroyed, he would be angry and come after Tory. It would be great if the force behind Philip was strong enough to curb this matter. “By the way, my scout told me that you took out a pill in Bijou Parlor.” Tory w
Tory crushed the pill and instantly smelled the aroma. He soon realized that the aroma had spread throughout the mayor's residence. Tory quickly set up a barrier to lock the smell within the compound. If the smell spread out, many people would notice it. Maybe some people would guess that he had met Philip. As a smart man, he knew he had to keep this a secret. Philip nodded with satisfaction at Tory’s actions. Indeed, he was not an imbecile. Verifying this pill proved Tory’s trust in Philip. Other than his shock, Tory felt very rueful. He wished he could turn back time. He did not want to crush this pill at all! This pill was absolutely priceless, maybe even worthy enough in exchange for Orbit City. Philip gave it to him so casually and even told him to crush it. It was a waste to ruin this perfect pill instead of using it properly. With a whiff of this aroma, he felt as if his hidden wounds were much better, and his old wounds were healing one after another
Tory felt that Philip was a god from heaven here to save him! It would be great if Philip could supply these things to him, but Tory was worried too. After all, these things seemed very valuable. Even if Philip could supply them, Tory might not be able to afford it. Philip understood Tory's hesitation and knew that Tory wanted to buy pills and weapons from him. He found out some information when he arrived at Orbit City. This continent was a little backward as a whole, but Orbit City’s economic development was quite strong. Facts had proven that the Larson family controlled the money, so Tory could not lay his hands on it even though he was the mayor. Without money, Tory could not develop his force. Practitioners required money to support themselves. Tory could not support so many people with his wages alone. Tory’s mind raced. After catching a whiff of Philip’s pill, he knew that it was no ordinary item. After seeing Philip's indifference, Tory knew that Philip fou
Philip did not have any ordinary weapons on hand, while the pills were made by the kids at home. On the other hand, Aslan was fanatical about various weapons, so he would find a way to store them no matter how many pills the kids made. Aslan rummaged around the weapons and kept one of them. “I usually use this one to pick my teeth.” Aslan chuckled and put all the other weapons in front of Tory. Tory was dumbfounded at the pile of weapons and pills. He thought it would be good enough if he could get a few pills, but Philip gave him so many so casually. It was simply a blessing! Although Tory was excited, he was embarrassed too. “Um, although I’m very interested in these things, I may be a little short on funds. I have 10,000 medium-quality energy stones with me. How many items can I purchase with that amount?” Tory was not very wealthy because most of his money was used to subsidize various military affairs in the city. Even through his efforts, however, it was dif
Since the other party was so uncooperative, Philip would not give them any leeway either. It was Bijou Parlor's loss for not working with Philip. With Aslan’s suggestion, Philip was more enthusiastic about his idea. “Make arrangements for someone to set up the store.” Philip asked Aslan to return to the other world to make arrangements while he returned to the mayor’s residence. He had to discuss this with Tory. Most of the real estate belonged to the Larson family, and only a small portion belonged to the mayor. Philip did not want to go around searching for a suitable spot. Since he had people on hand, why not make good use of them? Tory was still basking in excitement with the weapons and pills on hand when he noticed someone appearing quietly. He immediately went on full alert. As a mayor, he always had to be on guard for assassins. With these treasures on hand now, it was impossible for him to drop his guard. He was relieved when he saw Philip. As one o
Since Philip had his considerations regarding this matter, Tory could rest easy. “Okay, let’s do this. I’ll find a store for you right away and renovate it overnight!” Tory said with a smile. Tory felt very good with Philip’s reassurance. Philip nodded and took out a design drawing, which he had told Aslan to obtain for him. Due to the large time difference between the two worlds, only a short time had passed here even though Aslan had been away for a while. Tory was surprised to see the drawing. He stroked the paper gently, trying to hide his shock. This paper was miles apart from the ones he usually came into contact with. They only used parchment here, so the paper given by Philip was like a work of art. A thin layer of paper could contain so many drawings. It felt different to the touch. It was much more high-end than parchment. He glanced discreetly at Philip, trying to contain his shocked trembling. Philip did not notice Tory’s reaction. He had not seen the
Shadow was surprised to receive the pill and weapon. Tory trusted Philip wholeheartedly, so he took the enhancement pill right in front of Shadow. As Tory's personal bodyguard, Shadow was very loyal and immediately followed suit. They looked thoughtful as they marveled at the miraculous effect of the pills. Since it was their first time taking this pill and coupled with the good effects, their levels increased by a stage. As top experts, it was very difficult for them to improve their level, but one pill did that. How amazing was that? Shadow knelt to Tory in trepidation. “Thank you for your bestowment, Mayor!” He was a smart man and knew how valuable this pill was. As someone close to Tory, he was even more aware that Tory was almost broke. Tory must have spent a huge fortune to the point of bankruptcy to get these things. Tory helped Shadow up without comment. The two quickly discussed the next steps, and Shadow was tasked to distribute the items. It was t
