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
Aslan felt a sense of crisis, but he had stopped growing at his age. He could only hope that the boy would not surpass him. As a monster beast, he was full of fighting spirit. Philip ignored their weird thoughts and took everyone to the Guzo Continent. They instantly felt the abundant energy upon entering this land, but Noelle and the others thought it was not as comfortable as the villa. The energy at the villa was more intense. More importantly, the energy had been purified and was of the highest quality. With every breath, they could absorb the energy without processing it further. Unlike the energy here, they had to convert the energy before absorbing it. Hence, they preferred the energy at the villa. Philip went home for a while, so it was already early the next morning when they returned. Philip led them out one after another. He had bought some local clothes for the kids to avoid any misunderstanding. After all, the kids had a separate mission. He did not wan
“Not bad. They almost replicated the design perfectly. I had doubts about the expertise of these people before this!” Aslan praised, amazed at Tory’s reliability. More importantly, they saw a huge backyard with several rooms, obviously accommodation quarters for them. At this moment, Philip bumped into Tory who was here to supervise the work. The workers told him that the renovation had been completed, so he rushed over. Seeing that it would be dawn in two or three hours, Tory felt extremely nervous. This was a major action of great importance. He could not allow any mishap to occur. Tory and Philip smiled at each other with a hint of appreciation. Philip liked efficient people. “I designed the backyard area for you in particular. I heard that you’ve been staying at that inn on the outskirts of the city. That place is very messy, and the location is quite inconvenient. "If you go there in the strange attire everyone has been talking about, you’ll be identified easily,
Tory marveled at this scene. Noelle and Aslan were probably stronger than Shadow, but Tory did not notice any energy fluctuation from them at all. Either the technique they practiced was very powerful or they had a unique method to conceal their strength. Either possibility would be highly sought after on this continent, not to mention the other distant continent. He had no intention of exposing them but merely took note of it. All the more Tory felt that Philip was a very powerful person. With this secret technique, even a weak person could conceal their strength from powerful people. When something was unknown, the other party would become doubtful. People would guess whether this person was weak or strong. In a nutshell, it depended on whether this person could fool others. Aslan and Noelle were so powerful, but they still took orders from Philip, which proved that Philip was definitely extraordinary. Tory said to Philip, “If you start your business tomorrow, I
Everyone was tempted to stop and look at the window in front. “Why is it called Treasure House? Is it a copy of Bijou Parlor?” “I don’t think so. Maybe they just sell the same things.” “Hehe, how could anyone else sell those things? You should know how difficult it is to find those pills and weapons in this world!” No one believed in the authenticity of Treasure House, so they placed bets and decided to enter the store to take a look. As soon as they entered Treasure House, they saw various pills and weapons. However, unlike Bijou Parlor where herbal fragrance filled the store, the smell here was almost non-existent. “I don’t think this place can make it. There are no beautiful attendants at the door, and there's no pill aroma!” A man with a potbelly waved his fan unhappily, already looking down on this place. As a man who appreciated beauty, he valued beautiful attendants. A feast for the eyes was enough to satisfy him. “I've had enough of the shrew at home, so I w
No one dared to compete with Bijou Parlor. This force that had operated for many years all across major cities was not to be trifled with. Rover arrived at Treasure House and glared at the onlookers in disdain. “Why are you so excited over a newly opened store?” A man next to Rover heard his question. He glanced at him and did not recognize Rover. Since they did not know each other, he could speak his mind. “What do you know? The person in charge of Treasure House is very beautiful! I’ve never seen such a beautiful woman in Orbit City!” Rover felt disdainful of the man’s ignorant remarks. In Rover's opinion, Scarlet was the most beautiful woman in the whole continent. Seeing the fanatic looks of these people, Rover decided to squeeze in and take a look. He pushed through the crowd and entered Treasure House. Noelle did not expect that she would cause such a big sensation. More importantly, these people were not interested in the products sold at Treasure House at
Although the pills on display did not exude any aroma, the customers trusted Noelle for some reason. They felt that Noelle only sold the best pills. “How much would this pill cost at Bijou Parlor?” Noelle asked everyone curiously. They quickly replied, “An average pill would cost 300 energy stones. Better ones will be even more expensive!” “Besides, I think the pills they have that cost hundreds of energy stones can’t hold a candle to the one you have!” “Is the pill you have in your hand worth at least a thousand energy stones? No, probably more than that. I think you can put it up for auction!” Noelle nodded upon hearing the comments. It seemed that these defective pills were very valuable! Philip listened calmly on the side. He knew that his pills would be highly sought after but not to this extent. Were the pills sold here really that bad? Philip shook his head and vanished from the spot. As Philip suspected, Orbit City was relatively remote, making it diffic
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
