Alton was always on guard and could not live a carefree life like Philip. He was quite envious of Philip. He must have a solid background to live such a free and easy life. After getting rid of that pesky fly, Noelle shut the door unhappily. That guy was so rude. If Philip had not asked her to ignore him, she and Aslan would have taken action. After suffering the rejection from Treasure House, Niffler made his way to Bijou Parlor not far away. Every Bijou Parlor sold different things, so Niffler wanted to see if he could find a bargain. What if this place sold good pills or weapons? Niffler strolled around and found that the products were not that good, as expected of a branch in a remote city. Maybe only ignorant people would shop here. Indeed, the business of this store was very poor, almost devoid of customers. The people walking on the street did not even enter Bijou Parlor to take a look. Niffler found it a little strange. Bijou Parlor was a high-end store. Even if few
Scarlet soon resorted to her old tricks, hoping to retain this customer. However, she underestimated Niffler. Niffler was so powerful that no ordinary person could mess with him. The moment Scarlet cast her charm, Niffler knew what she was up to. “Little girl, it’s not right to do business this way,” Niffler said with a smile. Scarlet was quite good-looking, so he did not want to expose her in public. Scarlet frowned at Niffler’s reaction. “You…” Scarlet was at a loss for words. She wondered why so many powerful people would appear in this small and remote Orbit City. “Why is there no business in Bijou Parlor?” Niffler asked offhandedly. Scarlet scowled, annoyed that this customer would ask such a question so directly. However, he was a powerful expert while she was a weak and useless practitioner. What was the point of hiding it? Scarlet decided to spill the beans. She invited Niffler to take a seat while she brewed a pot of tea. “This is what happened.” Scarle
Although this man did not look good, he was better than Figo Larson. Besides, he seemed from out of town. Maybe he was from a bigger city. It would be best if she could follow him to other cities. Scarlet looked at him with hope and expectations. They quickly reached a consensus. “But if you want me to follow you, I want you to take revenge for me,” Scarlet said shyly. Niffler felt his heart beating wildly at her alluring look. “Just speak your mind. I’ll help you if I think I can do it.” With his strength, it would be easy to deal with anyone. “It’s the people from Treasure House. I want you to teach them a lesson. I ended up this way because of them, so…” Scarlet said hesitantly, looking a little nervous. Scarlet knew that Niffler might not agree. He just mentioned that these people probably came from a mysterious place. In that case, it was less likely that he would help her. “Let me find out more about their identities before we talk about revenge. Anyway, I’ll be h
Alton roughly guessed Philip’s identity. “Philip, I notice your strange attire. Are you from that place?” Alton asked curiously. In his opinion, since they were already on familiar terms, it was no big deal to ask about it. Besides, he had revealed everything about himself. Everyone was surprised and respectful after they learned that he was the mayor of Cosmo City. Only Philip and his people remained calm and indifferent. In fact, Philip had guessed Alton’s identity, so he was not surprised. He was even a little smug about his accurate guess. However, Philip had no idea what Alton was talking about. “What place are you talking about? Tell me more about it. I want to know if we’re thinking of the same place,” Philip said with a smile but did not reveal anything. Alton explained patiently, “Everyone knows that apart from the two continents, there’s also a mysterious island full of amazing people. They dress differently from us, and they're very strong. A pill they make at ra
“The people of that island dress differently like you, and you're strong too. I don't think these pills and weapons can be made by anyone from this continent.” Alton smiled. Everything was his speculation. “Tell me more about that place. I’m curious about this island now.” Philip’s remark was also his answer. He did not say where he came from, but he denied that he came from the mysterious island. Alton's mind raced as he wondered about Philip. They were having a great conversation, and Philip did not seem to be lying. However, his background was very mysterious, and it was not convenient to reveal it now. Alton knew it must be an untold secret. Since Philip was unwilling to reveal anything, there was no point in dwelling on it. He quickly told Philip the location of the mysterious island, and Philip’s mind raced. “Let’s close the store for a few days. I want to visit that place,” Philip said with a smile. The situation in the ancestral land did not look good. Philip co
Philip did not take it to heart. “It’s okay. I don’t care about such things. I want to take a look at that place. “We sell valuable items in this store, so I don’t trust anyone else to take care of it. If that’s the case, it's better to close the shop for a few days before I return from that place,” Philip said easily with a smile on his face. Alton said worriedly, “I don’t think that’s a good idea. That place is notorious for being dangerous. Even the most powerful people found it difficult to escape from the sea safely. “You have to go through the sea area to reach the mysterious island, but no one has managed that feat so far. Even the well-known expert simply entered the island by chance without going through the sea.” Alton heard that the expert was lucky enough to arrive at the island. If Philip wanted to take on the challenge, the best outcome would be a safe retreat while the worst outcome would be to disappear at sea. He thought the second outcome was more likely t
“I have a student in Cosmo City. You can go with Alton and find my student there. Hand this item to him and join him. I'll head to Cosmo City when I return from that place.” Indeed, Orbit City was too small for Philip and his group. More importantly, most major forces here had been obliterated. Bijou Parlor was all quiet, and the mayor had developed his forces, weakening the power of the Larson family in secret. The mayor should be able to take over the whole city before long. In Philip’s opinion, it was just a matter of time. Philip looked forward to the mayor’s accomplishment. Since the mayor was eager to become stronger, he definitely had his abilities. Everyone's eyes lit up. Granite did not think that Philip would accept his allegiance. In his opinion, Philip was a mysterious person. It would be best if Philip was willing to accept him. Alton was the happiest, smiling brightly. He never expected that Philip would choose to go to Cosmo City. Although his city wa
Philip smiled and said, “Noelle, I think you should go with them and meet up with the little guy. Let the mayor help you open a store in the business district and sell whatever the kid made.” At first, Philip wanted to bring Noelle with him, but he had another idea now. Since Bijou Parlor would come after him, Philip did not intend to let them off either. They could try to take him on. He refused to believe that Bijou Parlor would be stronger than him. The best pill they could produce was at level seven while the pills his students could make were much better than that. The alchemy theory and method used here were completely different from the ones Philip used, so their best pill meant nothing to him! Noelle was excited about this arrangement. It was no easy task to explore the island with Philip and the guys. Noelle preferred to mess around. “Don’t worry, leave this to me! I can handle it easily!” Noelle smiled brightly. She had already thought of how to confront the o
“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
