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
“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
This young lady was finally strong enough to protect the beasts. “The grudge between me and those people runs so deep that I’ll never forgive them, so you can forget about it. You look like a good person, so I won’t make things difficult for you. You should leave this dreadful place at once.” Philip smiled helplessly at her words. “Don't worry, I don't like the people from Deadly Arena either, and I have a grudge against them too. In fact, everything happened because of them, so you don’t have to worry about it. If you want to restore this mysterious island to a place where the beasts can live in peace, you should work with me.” These people were not easy to deal with. Although Philip could deal with them with his strength, he would have to pay a price for it. It would be best if he had help. Philip had many ideas. “I’m surprised that you have a grudge against them too. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Let’s talk about this.” The woman smiled excitedly. “My name is Foxy. I
Seeing the woman’s horror, Philip scratched his head awkwardly. He did not expect that her reaction would be so intense. “Don't worry, I'm not a good person.” After saying that, Philip sat down nonchalantly as if he was not worried about this powerful woman. Seeing Philip’s disregard for her, the woman was so angry that she could barely speak.“As you can see, I’m one of those humans,” Philip introduced himself. Philip had nothing to hide. His identity was no secret. “So, you’re one of those disgusting humans. You look quite strong. Since you found me, I’ll accept my fate. Just kill me if you want. There’s no need to insult me any further.” This woman was quite interesting. She jerked her chin up as if she was ready to let Philip kill her. Philip sighed at her reaction. Why was someone so eager to die? “I don’t want to kill you. I’m just curious about you. I just arrived at Deadly Arena recently,” Philip said to the other party sincerely. He was very curious about the
“You’re right, someone is controlling these beasts behind the scenes. Although I don’t know if the culprit is a powerful beast or a guild, they're not to be trifled with.” Philip did not hide this information but asked his men to take action. Since they were already here, they had to ensure their safety. No one would be exempted if anything happened. “You can join in the fight, but don’t try too hard. Just kill a few beasts and wait until I get to the bottom of this,” Philip said to his people. He was afraid that his men would work too hard but end up with nothing. Everyone nodded solemnly at Philip’s instructions. They quickly joined the battlefield and casually swung their weapons around, killing the arrogant beasts. Due to their strength, they easily crushed the beasts without much effort. As the fight reached its peak, Philip observed the source of the beast stampede. “Do you see that? The beasts are coming from that direction, and they’re clearly well-organized and d
Philip noticed the change and frowned at the mysterious man, whose expression changed drastically. “This is bad. I’ve never heard this alarm before.” After saying this, he invited Philip to go with him to Deadly Arena to find out what happened. They arrived at Deadly Arena and saw everyone staring ahead nervously as if waiting for someone to speak. Philip’s guild members noticed his return and approached him nervously. Aslan ran up to Philip worriedly. “Philip, I asked around and found something wrong. Deadly Arena is a dangerous place because it’s situated next to the beast forest. This situation has happened from time to time in the past, but no one was bothered. They’d even organize teams to hunt the beasts and Deadly Arena would provide rewards for this.” Philip roughly understood the situation from Aslan’s explanation. Since Deadly Arena had been managing this place for so long, they had taken responsibility for the safety issue. Once the beasts appeared, they would ensu
Argent thought he had come up with a good plan to set Philip up, but he was the fool who was kept in the dark in the end. Philip smiled at Argent’s angry departure and invited the mysterious man to his room. Although Philip chatted with him earlier, he did not know much about him. Philip could tell that the man had concealed his true appearance. Philip was curious to see what would happen. The mysterious man noticed Philip’s anticipation but simply stared at him in silence. Philip wanted to know his identity and purpose for coming here. “I really think highly of you. It’d be best if you could join me.” He knew that Philip would not give in so easily, so his rationality told him to give up. “It’s impossible for me to join you, but I’m curious about your situation. I believe you have a grudge against that guy or you wouldn’t resent him so much.” Philip smiled at the guy. He knew that the grudge between the two was very deep. The mysterious man was surprised that Philip
