Mr. Lindell wondered what made the auction so attractive. “In that case, let’s take a look and see how grand an auction in this place can be!” They soon arrived at Bijou Parlor. Scarlet was nearly bored out of her mind as she stood at the door. Suddenly, she saw a bunch of rich people appearing in front of her, and her eyes widened instantly. She quickly approached them with a smile on her face. “Gentlemen, please come this way. Our auction will be starting soon!” Mr. Lindell and the others were dressed so lavishly that they had to be important people. Scarlet had met many wealthy people and quickly guessed their identities. With their arrogance, they were most likely from Imperial City. Mr. Lindell nodded. They walked up to the second floor and sat down at random. The man in black was puzzled and glanced around warily. “Why is there no one else when the auction is about to start? Didn't we see a lot of people just now?” He felt that something was not quite righ
Philip heard their comments. These people were simply making up stories. His memory was not for nothing. Philip remembered clearly who bought what. The troublemakers in front of him had never appeared in his store, not to mention buying things. Thus, Philip immediately guessed that they were messing around on purpose, which was to make it impossible for him to open for business today. He was not stupid and immediately guessed the mastermind behind it. Besides Scarlet from Bijou Parlor, who else had a conflict of interest with him? Philip sighed helplessly. It seemed that this woman was up to her tricks again. Seeing these people making a big fuss, Philip stepped forward. He had to appease the customers or they might choose to leave. Philip needed a lot of customers to achieve his goals. He conveyed the method of handling the situation to Noelle, who nodded. “Excuse me, but I can't find your transaction records,” Noelle said evenly. Noelle kept a detailed recor
“Can we have a nice chat about this? I have shocking news for you!” The scammer tried to wiggle her way out of this. The other scammers panicked at this scene. They could scam both parties with this, but this useless scammer had taken the first advantage of such a good deal, which was infuriating. They had received Scarlet’s money and had completed the mission of causing trouble. Now, they could get Philip’s money and expose it. Some people dared to do this, but others adhered to professional ethics and kept their mouths shut. This female scammer was about to move away from this city with her family, so she had no worries and could say whatever she wanted. Philip smiled brightly at her remark. “What’s there to say? The truth will come to light. Don’t you know exactly what you have done?” Philip liked to study the alchemy book and always messed around with different pills. Coincidentally, he recently made a pill that could make people tell the truth. This pill co
Figo wanted to see for himself how good the products in Treasure House were. According to his subordinates, the pills and weapons sold by Treasure House were simply amazing. A hunter’s combat effectiveness increased significantly after getting one. To gain a better status in the family, Figo decided to buy everything no matter how much it would cost. His father would definitely praise him when he returned from Imperial City and learned about it. His siblings could never hope to compete with him no matter how powerful they were then. As someone who made a lot of contributions to the family, his siblings had no choice but to respect him. By then, his status in the family would soar, and he would truly become the eldest sir of the Larson family in Orbit City. Figo and his bodyguards quickly cleared the way and pushed the hunters away. Although the hunters were unhappy, they put their feelings aside at the sight of Figo. The hunters made up a huge population. In general
As a big customer of Bijou Parlor, he was used to major scenes. When he saw the pills and weapons on display, he almost exploded. These pills were simply top-notch! It would be perfect if he could get them! Figo could hardly contain himself. He quickly took out his storage bag and poured out the energy stones onto the table. “I want to buy everything you have!” He started pointing at the pills and weapons he wanted. Everyone panicked at the sight of all that money. They never dreamed that this guy would be so shameless. “Damn it, he’s too much!” A hunter growled under his breath, but that was all he could do. He was even worried that someone would overhear him. Fortunately, his voice was low and the scene was noisy, so no one paid any attention to him. Others cursed inwardly but did not dare to say anything either. Philip gave Noelle a signal. This guy was so arrogant that Philip did not want to interact with him at all. “Don’t sell him anything. Take care
Figo doubted that someone would be stupid enough to offend him. “I’m the third son of the Larson family in Orbit City. The Larson family is not a small potato but the top family in this city. If I’m not willing to join the back of the queue, even the mayor has no way to make me if he’s here in person!” Figo spoke loftily and felt as if Noelle was completely smitten by his charm. After all, no woman could resist such a domineering man. He believed that Noelle would become more demure after learning his identity. Noelle finally realized Figo’s identity but had no intention of interacting with him at all. “Are you done babbling?” Noelle scoffed. Figo was taken aback. Although he did not know why she was so hostile, he nodded. His ignorance amused Noelle. “Since you’re done talking, join the queue at the end of the line if you want to buy something. Stop wasting everyone’s time.” Noelle signaled to Aslan to get rid of these bodyguards. It was impossible to do business
The bodyguards would be dead if anything happened to Figo. The hunters laughed heartily, happy at this scene. All the hunters in Orbit City resented the arrogant and domineering Larson family and wished bad luck would befall them. The Larson family were usually very arrogant and did not see hunters as humans at all. They were very happy to see someone dealing with them at last. “Move along, stop standing around. You can’t buy anything if you don’t queue up!” Seeing everyone still dumbfounded, Aslan urged. He was surprised by their slow reaction. Everyone quickly queued up, eager to grab all the pills they could. Philip smiled at the spectacular scene. He took a camouflage pill to turn into the wealthy businessman from Imperial City that he was disguised as last night. He wanted to witness the miserable state of Bijou Parlor. Figo had no time to cause trouble for Aslan. He suffered several broken bones from the beating and looked very fragile. He had to rush to Bij
Since Philip was a big customer, Scarlet gave him a seat up front. “Buy more things to show your support for me, okay?” Scarlet winked at Philip and cast her charm again. Philip pretended to fall under her spell again. Figo scowled as he waited at the door for Scarlet to greet him. He did not expect Scarlet to turn a blind eye to him. In fact, Scarlet did not notice him at all. As a woman immersed in love, Scarlet only had eyes for Philip with no room for anyone else, not to mention such an annoying man. Other attendants at Bijou Parlor tried their best to calm Figo down. However, Figo was so angry that he told his bodyguards to kick up a fuss. His bodyguards had nowhere to vent their anger since suffering the defeat earlier. They started smashing all the items in the store. Scarlet returned to the main hall and saw Figo causing trouble. She was surprised to see Figo. In the past, Scarlet would rush up to Figo and say a few sweet words to him whenever she saw
“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
