Although this woman was very beautiful, she was not worth the money he spent on her. Figo lamented all the money he spent in Bijou Parlor. “Damn it, why didn’t I realize before that this woman isn’t good enough?” Figo was rueful but wanted to cause trouble for that man. He forced himself to calm down and entered the auction venue. Although he was unhappy with Scarlet, she was still his fiancée. How could she serve other people so attentively? Besides, he had another reason for being with Scarlet. He wanted to try to control Bijou Parlor through her. Although the idea sounded bizarre, it was his ultimate dream. Once the dream came true, his status in the family would be completely different. His siblings could only look up to him. Even his brother working in Imperial City had to treat him with respect. As soon as Figo entered the auction venue, he saw Mr. Lindell. Although he was old, he could not conceal his noble demeanor. Figo was not stupid enough not to
Figo panicked when he saw so many people fighting over the pill. He was lucky enough to buy this pill last time, but it had been consumed. If he could not get one this time, he had no idea how long it would be before he saw another one again. Figo was very anxious and joined in the bidding. Very soon, the price soared sky-high. Everyone noticed his bidding and knew the chance had come. They stopped after a few more random bids, but the price had reached 700 energy stones. Figo was horrified when the bidding stopped. He did not expect the price to reach this level! However, he really needed the pill, so the price was of no consequence to him. He quickly bought the pill and took it in front of everyone. The paid extras looked at him enviously. They were paid to do this job and were not rich people at all. Even if they had the right to buy this pill, they had no money. The price was too high, more than the value of the pill itself. Mr. Lindell shook his head wh
Seeing that the other two parties were not interested in the items on auction, Scarlet decided to sell the items she bought from Treasure House. Scarlet had personally verified the authenticity of these treasures. Although Scarlet did not buy many pills from Treasure House, she had weapons. Scarlet quickly started hyping up the atmosphere. If the stuff from Bijou Parlor could not pique their interest, things from Treasure House would surely catch their attention. Sure enough, everyone was excited as soon as the items went on display. Even the paid extras widened their eyes in shock. The weapons sold in Treasure House were unused in a brand-new state. As Scarlet had bought the items and tried them out personally, the brilliance of the weapons could hardly be contained. “Are those spiritual weapons?!” Mr. Lindell stared at these weapons in shocked disbelief and apprehension. Although Mr. Lindell was most professional in making pills, he knew a thing or two about wea
Philip was surprised to hear that the other party was a level-seven alchemist. As far as he knew, this guy should be the best on the continent. Although Philip was surprised that Scarlet would sell the things she bought from Treasure House at the auction, he was more surprised that this event caught the attention of an alchemist. Scarlet was dumbfounded to hear that introduction. No one would dare to fake that identity, especially a level-seven alchemist with such a distinguished status. It was a crime punishable by law. The old man with a noble demeanor and the powerful bodyguards around him made it obvious that he was no ordinary person. Mr. Lindell displayed his alchemist token to prove his identity. “This token is enough to prove my identity.” The token was issued by the Alchemist Guild and could not be faked. Scarlet was stunned to see this token, surprised at her windfall. These weapons were her personal property, so she could choose to give them to Mr. Lindel
Mr. Lindell knew that the other party was willing to accept this loss purely because of his identity. He felt very pleased that this woman’s choice did not disappoint him. After going through the weapons, Mr. Lindell handed them over to the man in black. Now was not the time to be looking at them. The man in black shuddered as he held these weapons, amazed by the good quality. He felt the power of these weapons and simply wanted to fall on his knees. At this moment, he noticed something unusual. The weapon he held was engraved with the words ‘Treasure House.’ He subconsciously looked at other weapons and found the same. Obviously, it was the signature of the weaponsmith. “Mr. Lindell, look.” The man in black quickly informed Mr. Lindell of this discovery, thinking that it was strange. Mr. Lindell looked over in confusion and verified his discovery. “What place is this Treasure House?” he asked Scarlet in puzzlement. Mr. Lindell had just arrived and did not hav
Figo did not take it to heart. In his opinion, it was normal for such people to mock or yell at him. After all, Mr. Lindell was a noble from Imperial City and a legendary level-seven alchemist. He was better than Figo's brother who worked in Imperial City. It would be perfect if Figo could ride on Mr. Lindell's coattails. Figo just wanted to try his best to please Mr. Lindell. “Should I bring you there now? If we’re late, I’m afraid they’ll be closed for business. Their opening hours are up to their mood!" Figo was eager to leave. Mr. Lindell was surprised to hear that this so-called Treasure House actually existed. He became curious about Treasure House and wanted to see what was going on. “Did you buy these weapons from Treasure House?” the man in black asked Scarlet. Seeing that things could no longer be concealed, Scarlet nodded helplessly with no more trace of her earlier delight. Mr. Lindell did not dwell on this topic. Since she bought the weapons, she coul
“Indeed, this weapon is a product of Treasure House. If you want to buy something, you need to line up at the end of the queue. We don’t give preferential treatment no matter what identity or status you have,” Noelle said with a smile, her meaning clear. Mr. Lindell was surprised by her stubbornness. He signaled to the man in black, allowing him to reveal his identity. The man in black nodded and made Mr. Lindell's identity known. “Maybe you don't know my master’s identity. He’s a level-seven alchemist from Imperial City. He wants to buy your pills and weapons for research. It’s your honor to learn from him.” Philip was amused by Mr. Lindell's pretentiousness, but the latter had the right to act like this. As the top alchemist on this continent, he was always respected everywhere he went. Now that someone was giving him the cold shoulder, it was natural that he felt uncomfortable. After revealing Mr. Lindell's identity, the man in black thought the other party would be sc
Philip smiled and knew that the old man was angry. “You must be Mr. Lindell. Since you're here, I won't let you leave empty-handed. I don’t think you've seen the pills produced by Treasure House yet.” Philip took out a pill and crushed it in front of everyone. The powder quickly dissipated into the air, and the smell assaulted everyone’s senses. Feeling the effects of the pill, they went into an uproar. Philip had crushed a healing pill. All the hunters at the scene were plagued with old and new wounds that could hardly be cured at once. Healing pills were very expensive, and no one would use them unless necessary. The pill Philip crushed at random healed their internal injuries that had been present for many years. Their injuries were not serious but could not be left untreated either. They were excited about Philip’s help. The hunters were grateful and expressed their thanks to Philip. They were here for the pills too. The price of one pill at Bijou Parlor w
“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
