Aslan nodded. It was all thanks to Philip. He was very lucky to have Philip teach him. “I'm different from them. They learn really fast, but I can only make a little progress with Philip teaching me step by step. In fact, this is my limit. Philip suggested that I should forget about alchemy, but I think I did good enough for a monster beast.” Philip was not aware that monster beasts could not make pills. He simply thought Aslan was not cut out for it. Usually, Philip only had to guide them a little for them to improve by leaps and bounds. Aslan, on the other hand, required his personal guidance to master the technique. As a monster beast that could breathe fire, Aslan could not even control fire properly! Philip went to great lengths to teach Aslan how to make pills and finally gave up. Aslan simply had no talent for it and would be better off just being a bodyguard. After Khan received Aslan’s affirmation, he turned to Philip with blazing eyes. “Everything is like a dream!
Philip shrugged and asked someone to invite Elijah over to give Khan a surprise. When Elijah appeared, Khan almost had a mental breakdown. Since Elijah was here, it meant he was at his wit's end and came here for help. “You look familiar. You should be that kid from back then. Don't tell me...” Khan said in despair. Elijah nodded in embarrassment. He had met Khan on several occasions. However, he was very young back then, so he did not expect Khan to have an impression of him. Khan was dejected by Elijah’s response. He turned to Philip and forgot all about alchemy. Everyone would perish if this matter was not handled well. “I don’t know what to do, but I've joined forces with all the major guilds to deal with those creatures together.” Elijah knew that Mistral Temple was not as strong as before, but with Philip's help, he managed to gather many forces together. They could play a big role at critical moments. Khan nodded helplessly. He was not very confident about joinin
Philip handed a storage ring to Aslan and asked him to distribute some things. “Give these pills to everyone. We’re likely to face various dangers from now on. It’s important to restore our strength quickly.” There were various pills to heal injuries, restore energy, and improve their strength. Philip also prepared a lot of herbs for them. Compared to people from Mistral Temple, the monster beasts were more of his own. Seeing this, Aslan was excited and knew what Philip was up to. “Don’t worry, Philip. Leave it to me!” Philip simply nodded. Aslan took his father and the others to the room, leaving Elijah behind. Elijah knew that Philip had given them a great opportunity. He wanted to request for the same but stopped at the thought of his identity. Philip had given him enough weapons, and it was already a great favor. There was no need for him to request more. “You can tell them more about the sealed land when you have time and discuss with the other guilds to find a way
Alton scowled. Who was not having a hard time? “Have you heard of Treasure House?” Mark asked worriedly. He wanted to seek Alton’s help to get rid of Treasure House. However, Mark had no idea who stood behind Treasure House, so he could not help but worry. He was guarded against such an unfamiliar force. Alton glanced at Mark with a glint in his eyes. He was just about to seek Mark’s cooperation to deal with Treasure House, but Mark turned up at his door first. In that case, he would speak his mind. “Treasure House isn't only going to increase the popularity of my city, but it can also drive economic development here. Why do you think I should help you?” Alton spoke directly, obviously asking for benefits. “Bijou Parlor has always been sharing long-term profits with you. Once our business is affected, your profit will drop significantly too. It won’t be that easy to find someone to treat your son by then,” Mark said. Mark was quite confident that Alton would remain on h
Mark finally realized Alton’s objective. He felt that Alton was a hypocrite. He could just say he wanted more money without going in circles. They had been working together for so many years and had forged a deep friendship and rapport. Mark did not expect Alton to beat about the bush this time. Mark nodded and said hesitantly, “I’ll give you another 10% of my turnover.” It was a huge concession for Mark as 10% of the turnover was not a small amount. In the past, Alton would have agreed without a doubt. After all, he needed money to cure his son, and with such a big mayor's residence to support, he was always short of funds. However, things were different now. He no longer had any pressure, and his property issues had been resolved. He could negotiate business with Mark without any worries. Philip’s store opened at the right time. Not only could it help Alton raise the price, but it could also force Mark into a corner. Alton rejected Mark’s suggestion. “That amount do
Alton’s remark was like a bolt of lightning that struck Mark into despair. If Treasure House employed the same operating model, Bijou Parlor could do something along the way. However, it was very extreme for the other party to have their own alchemist. With an alchemist, they could continuously provide supplies for their store at any time. Alton smiled at Mark’s desperation. “If you can get hold of their alchemist, I can consider keeping the original price and just charge you ten percent for the information. If you can deal with it, I won’t take 50 percent." Alton was quite generous in giving Mark a chance to salvage the situation. Whether Mark succeeded or not, it was no loss to Alton. Mark nodded. This was undoubtedly a good option. Although Alton went a little far, it was the best way to handle it. In this way, not only could he gain an alchemist but also tide over this crisis, which was good. “They live in the backyard of Treasure House. The alchemist is a young kid
Alton was in a great mood as he anticipated what would happen next. He finally had the chance to earn back the fortune he had spent over the years, so he was ecstatic. Mark left the mayor's residence unhappily. He had resented Alton for ages. Alton had always been greedy and obnoxious. Alton had been eyeing his business all this while. Mark would have been deceived by him if he had not been smart enough. However, Mark did not blame Alton on account of his son. Alton just wanted to find someone in Cosmo City to protect him. Alton must have spent a lot of money to save his pitiful son, so Mark could understand his situation. Now that his son was cured, however, Alton took advantage to ask for more. What else could it be but greed? “Damn it, even when your son was suffering back then, it didn’t stop you from enjoying yourself. With so many women in the mayor's residence, no wonder your son ended up that way!” Mark cursed as he walked away, disappointed in Alton.… In the mean
With that thought in mind, Niffler controlled his anger and took out some energy stones. “I’ll buy one.” He had never bought a pill from this place before and did not know how good it was, but it could not be that bad with so many customers around. Niffler bought one at random and left. To everyone, he seemed like he was running away in embarrassment. The old men laughed at Niffler’s hasty retreat. They were hired to buy pills. Although they were not paid much, it was easy money that they could earn every day. Philip knew that someone was doing this but paid no heed. These pills had been diluted to a certain degree. By controlling the quantity, he could ensure popularity. His pills were much better than those found on this continent, but the effects were not so significant, and they were expensive too. After Philip’s adjustment, all the pills were no different. Philip was not worried that someone would buy his things and use them against him. If they had the guts to d
“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
