If this pill could be mass-produced, they could easily develop their own force. This opportunity was hard to come by. Thus, Alton kept a close eye on Rhea to confirm if the pill was the real deal. Before this, Alton would definitely think it was fake and gloss things over with Philip. After all, certain things had to be seen to be believed. Now that someone was testing the pill in front of him, he had to watch closely. Sure enough, Rhea quickly felt her body heating up before she leveled up. Rhea was quite talented to level up so quickly, but the others were not aware of this. Alton and his party were dumbfounded at this scene. How could such an amazing pill exist? The others took the pill without hesitation, smiling brightly as they reveled in the pills' effects. Seeing their rapid improvement in strength, Alton was excited. Alton wanted the pill too, but he knew Philip had no intention of giving it to him. They had no ties to each other, so there was no need for Philip to giv
According to their investigation, although the store sold similar pills, the effects were not as good as the ones they saw earlier. Reality proved that Philip had better versions on hand. These pills would cause a great sensation out on the market. Alton could already imagine what would happen if he took those pills. Seeing how easily Philip gave them the pills, there must be no side effects. If the pills had side effects, he would not have given the pills to them so easily. Alton had many ideas about the pills and wondered if he could get one. “Let’s talk to him. It’d be best if he could sell us those pills,” Cosmo said. Although Cosmo longed for a pill, he wanted to get it through the proper channels. After all, he had not been in contact with anyone for many years, so his thinking was quite immature. Alton and Oz were different. They were used to seeing schemes and conspiracies. To them, it was normal to resort to underhanded methods. “Maybe we can approach him for the pil
No practitioner could resist the temptation of those pills. Cosmo had been in a coma for a long time, so his desire for such things was not that extreme—unlike Alton. Alton and Oz were not as talented as Cosmo. It was difficult to improve their strength. They could benefit greatly from Philip’s pills. “I think we should just threaten Philip. He’s going to sell those pills anyway. Why not give everything to us?” Oz suggested. He was under the impression that Philip was nothing more than met the eye. Alton nodded. As the mayor of a city, he was still calm. “Let’s not act rashly for the time being. After Granite and the others arrive, we can find his student and threaten him.” Alton’s idea was better. Since Philip’s student was in Cosmo City, Philip would go there too. It would be perfect to use this student to threaten Philip! Alton smiled brightly, excited by the thought of forming his own force. The guards of the city belonged to the royal family. Alton had no force of his
Meanwhile, Philip had no idea someone was plotting against him. Since he dared to display his pills in front of everyone, he had nothing to fear. He simply wanted to boost Granite’s confidence. He knew that Granite and his team were willing to follow him because they believed in him. In that case, he had to let them know that their trust was correct. Philip planned to head to Cosmo City next. It was important for Alton to realize his strength too. If Alton was smart, he would not do anything in secret. If he was stupid, Philip had nothing to fear either. After all, he had many people under his command. Philip and the others packed their things, made plans for the next step, and were ready to set off early the next morning. Granite and his team did not make much use of Philip’s accommodation. They were just spending one night, and there was no need to take up so much space. The five of them squeezed on one bed comfortably. “Granite, is it really okay for us to level up so quic
Granite thought that his teammates were so innocent. “You silly goose! Do you think he won’t be tempted by the pills? Philip has no intention of giving them anything, so they can only watch helplessly! What if they use us to threaten Philip?” Granite was a very experienced hunter with a thorough understanding of human nature. He knew that nothing was scarier than human beings. Although Alton seemed like a kind father and a nice person, that did not mean he was good. Every man for himself. That proverb held true. In order to improve himself, Alton was likely to use them to threaten Philip. “We need to reach Cosmo City safely and improve our strength so that Philip can stop worrying about us!” Everyone nodded solemnly. This order was simple enough. “Don’t worry, we’ll do as we’re told and not cause trouble.” Everyone chatted until they fell asleep.… Early the next morning, Philip and Aslan embarked on their journey. The direction given to them was pretty clear. Phil
The beasts were wary of the terrifying auras. They sensed that the auras were left by humans and wondered what the humans were up to. The forest had been weird recently, and all the beasts were ready to make a move. With Philip adding fuel to the fire, most beasts had a bad impression of humans. The beasts were ready to make an uprising. “Philip, we finally arrived. Although this place looks peaceful, I feel like something is wrong.” Aslan stared at the sea in puzzlement. This place was very beautiful but unusually quiet. The sea had no waves and looked like stagnant water. “I've seen the sea before, so I can't be fooled! There should be waves. Just look at the pool of stagnant water. Not to mention waves, I don’t think we can even find any sea creatures here,” Aslan grumbled. Philip was puzzled too. Although he had never seen this particular sea before, he noticed the anomaly. Philip grabbed a seagull, tapped it on its head, and let it go. The seagull flew to the sea as if
Aslan glanced at Philip nervously, observing his reaction. He was ready to change his tone at the drop of a hat. It was just his personal opinion. Alton might not really be that type of person. He was afraid that his opinion would put thoughts into Philip’s mind. To his surprise, Philip smiled and nodded. “You’re quite smart. Your IQ seems to have increased after staying in the human world for a while.” Philip gave Aslan a rare compliment. Normally, Philip would laugh at Aslan, unlike today. Aslan acutely noticed something was amiss, so he deserved praise. “I’m glad that he wants to save his child. Maybe he’s a good father, but he’s not necessarily a good friend.” They had to be careful when making friends with such people. The mayor of Orbit City was different from Alton. Although Tory Jobb was smart in his way, his thoughts and mentality were quite mature. He never thought of using any means to gain anything from Philip. Even if he wanted pills and weapons, he made a fa
Philip finally made an important decision. “After we finish exploring this place, we have to start moving everyone to this world,” Philip told Aslan. Aslan was shocked to hear Philip’s decision. “Are you saying we don’t have to stay in that crappy place anymore?” Aslan said excitedly. He preferred this place. Although the ancestral land was nice and had various electronic facilities that caught all his attention, he preferred this life. “I was bored there because I could only stay in the villa. The moment I go out, the sparse energy would make me uncomfortable.” Aslan was quite demanding. Although the energy in this world was not as good as in the villa, it was better compared to the outside world in the ancestral land. “It’ll be amazing once we settle down and set up another energy-gathering formation.” Aslan was excited at the thought of settling down in this place. “Oh, do you want to settle down here so much? I have a feeling that a disaster will happen in the ancestr
“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
