“These items look valuable at a glance. They must be expensive.” “I believe any weapon here is enough to cause a sensation!” They knew these weapons were very valuable, and no one would be unmoved. Even some of the old hermits might be tempted, not to mention when there was such a large quantity of these weapons. “That’s right. Novak tried to steal these weapons when he saw them, and that’s a big violation. Besides, he was caught red-handed in the act. What do you think I should've done when the other party approached me?” Elijah threw the ball in everyone’s court. They were shocked to hear the truth. If they owned these weapons, they would be furious. Not to mention expelling the thief, they might even resort to killing. For a practitioner, a person's life was not worth mentioning. Upon reaching a certain level, it would not matter even if it was Novak. They could kill him whenever they wanted. In an instant, everyone thought the owner of the weapons was very graciou
Before Philip left, he found a carriage to transport him to Cosmo City. Since those people were paid to do the job, they hurried along and finally arrived at Cosmo City. At this time, Philip appeared in the carriage without exposing himself. After arriving at the destination, Philip pushed the curtain to the side and rewarded the other party with a few jade stones for transporting him so quickly. The carriage driver took the jade gratefully with an excited look on his face. It was his easiest job. All his previous jobs required more effort from him, but this guest traveled light, which added to his speed. “Thank you, sir. I’m at your disposal if you need me again!” The other party waved to Philip reluctantly. He wished he could become Philip's full-time driver. Philip paid the entry fee and entered Cosmo City. He was going to find Noelle next. If Philip was not mistaken, the crisis on the home planet would also endanger the Guzo Continent, but he did not know what the c
Philip laughed at the other party's cautious look. It was just a simple sheet of paper. Why would they go crazy over it? Philip walked to the newly opened Treasure House. Treasure House was not officially opened for business but at the renovation stage. Noelle decided to create some hype, which resulted in such a fuss. Philip walked to Treasure House and laughed when he saw the familiar decoration style. As expected from modern society, the style was very pleasing to the eye. Philip did not hide his presence, so Noelle immediately noticed him when he arrived at the door. She ran out with the others and stared at Philip with joy. “Philip, you’re finally here. We have been waiting for you!” Noelle said excitedly. Everyone rushed here to open the store so quickly that they were almost dead from exhaustion. A young kid stood next to Noelle. “Little Custard, are you doing well here?” Philip stroked his head. As an orphan, he did not have a name. After joining Philip, h
Granite frowned and cursed those people on Custard’s behalf. “They must've planned this! If Noelle didn’t have a secret technique for tracking down Custard, we would've lost him!” Granite smacked the table in anger. “Let’s put this aside for now. I believe the truth will come to light soon.” Philip felt that things were more than met the eye. There had to be a big secret behind this. However, the other party was lurking in the dark while they were out in the open, rendering them in a passive state. In that case, they could only wait and watch. When the other party exposed themselves, Philip would deal with them then. They had to be good enough to touch his people. Philip managed to voice Nolle’s thoughts, so they did not take action for now but simply opened the store and promoted it heavily. “By the way, the mayor dropped by once, but we didn't agree to cooperate with him. We simply said that we’d wait for your return. He wants a share in our business and to purchase p
Every pill could cure practitioners, but Custard used them on ordinary people. Although the pills were greatly diluted, Alton thought it was a waste of resources. Ordinary people were not worthy of these pills. They should fend for themselves if they were in poor health. Alton was very unhappy with Custard’s actions, so they decided to capture him. Before they succeeded, however, Noelle and the others showed up. In desperation, they could only flee to avoid any trouble. They even bribed the owner of that inn to leave. “Hurry up and prepare the things I asked for. I want to visit them soon.” Alton was impatient, not wanting to let this sweet deal slip from his fingers. The dark figure nodded and vanished from the room. If Philip were present, he would recognize this dark figure as Oz. Before long, Alton's gifts were ready, and he took Oz with him to Treasure House with a smile on his face. At this time, Philip was telling everyone about the impending crisis in the other wo
The others shared Philip’s thoughts. Everyone was wary and wondered what Alton was up to. “To be honest, I want to discuss a collaboration with you!” Alton cut to the chase, wanting to discuss a business deal with Philip. Philip knew Alton’s objective and would never give him a satisfactory answer. “Mayor, if you want a share of this store or reach an agreement to purchase pills from us, the discussion won’t be necessary. We want to run a neutral store.” Philip made his stance clear. If he were facing the mayor of Orbit City, Philip would have a nice chat with him. However, Philip did not have a good impression of Alton and lost all desire to talk to him. Alton scowled at Philip’s outright refusal. He was trying to find a way to persuade Philip to agree to the deal and even thought of an offer that Philip could not refuse. However, Philip simply rejected him before even having a discussion! Alton had never suffered such treatment before, so his reaction could be imagine
Oz was aware of Alton’s temper. Annoying him right now would be the same as seeking death. He did not want to die for no reason. At this time, one of Alton's mistresses ran to him in a panic. She did not notice Alton’s expression or mood. She simply wanted to jump into his arms and complain. “My lord, you have to help me!” Alton frowned at the other party, upset with this ignorant mistress. “What’s up? Spit it out.” She did not notice that Alton's mood was not right and hesitantly told him about how she was being bullied. “Your second wife…” Alton kept many women in the mayor’s residence, but not many people knew about it. These women would rank each other by number according to the order of entering the residence except for the first wife. This mistress was the last to arrive. She always threw her weight around because she was young, beautiful, and the most favored. Just like before, she complained about others. Under normal circumstances, Alton would help her. How
There was always a risk for women to be with a powerful man. They would die if Alton was unhappy with them. They just did not know their miserable fate when they first entered the residence. Alton would let them be when he was in a good mood, but it was obviously not the case now. That woman did not know how to size up the situation and forced Alton to take her side. It was a mistake for a woman to live a stupid life. Cosmo's mother had the highest status among all the women in the residence. As the mayor’s official wife, she was protected. “You shouldn't worry about certain things, so just leave them alone. That’s your father's business.” After saying that, she took a bowl of soup from the side. “I made soup with some spiritual beans from Guzo Forest. It’s good for you.” She wanted to play her role as a good mother and make amends for her son’s suffering over the years.… Meanwhile, Philip knew Alton would never give up. However, he put the matter aside and discussed
“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
