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
Anyway, anyone who turned up was a guest. Since this was the last visitor, Philip would oblige. Philip was surprised and puzzled to see an old acquaintance. “Oh, it’s you! Why are you here and dressed up as a beggar?” Cosmo Kean stood with a hint of confusion in front of Philip too. There was no need for Cosmo to be disguised as a feeble beggar if he was here to have fun. Philip could not help but feel that this fragile beggar would breathe his last at any minute. Cosmo smiled as he used a bucket of water to wash the makeup from his face. He entered Philip’s store and seemed very friendly. “My savior, I can’t bear it anymore!” Cosmo cut to the chase. Before this, Cosmo admired his father very much and kept his words to heart. After he woke up from his coma, however, Cosmo discovered that his father was a different person. Just the number of mistresses alone made him sick. Cosmo could not trust a word his father said now, which led to an underlying conflict between the t
“My dad heard about this woman from somewhere and took her as his mistress!” Everyone was shocked to hear this, but it was difficult for outsiders to intervene in other people’s family affairs. “So, you want to take action because of this?” Philip asked. This reason was far-fetched but not unreasonable. Cosmo nodded. He found it difficult to talk about it, but that was the fact. He could overlook his father’s actions of manipulating those women at will, but he was after the girl of his dreams this time! More importantly, his father knew the feelings he had for this woman! However, Cosmo buried his feelings because he was grateful to his father for all he had done for him. A few days ago, the girl of his dreams sat crying under a tree with thoughts of attempting suicide. She was an ordinary person, not a practitioner! Under such circumstances, she had no other way out. Cosmo became a different person because of this incident. He had to seek revenge and make things difficul
“If we can get rid of your father with your help, it’s a deal. You don’t need to pay a price. We just need you to put on an act.” Philip already had a plan in his mind, and he vowed to bring Alton to his downfall. Philip’s intuition had always been very accurate. Although Alton did not seem to be doing anything, Philip could already guess what would happen next. While Philip was talking to Cosmo, Mark sneaked into the backyard with his men. Although Mark was unwilling to trust Alton, it was the only way out. At this time, they saw a young boy walking out from the back. This boy wore strange attire and was approaching them. Without further ado, Mark ordered his men to throw a sack over the boy and carry him away. When they thought the plan had been carried out without a hitch, the boy stood frowning at them. “What are you doing? Do you want to kidnap me?” the boy blinked his big eyes and asked in curious innocence. Mark nodded without taking the boy seriously. “A child lik
Mark was quite a good actor. He quickly entered his role as if something had really happened at home. Custard stood as if he was thinking over Mark’s words. “If you want to cure someone, you can just buy a healing pill at our store and get it done." Custard took a step back and slammed the backyard door shut. These people were so bad at acting that it was difficult for them to deceive anyone. Since Philip had reminded him to stay on guard, Custard employed the same attitude to any strangers. Mark could not believe his luck. The kid did not give him a chance at all! Since his plan failed, Mark decided to grab the kid by force. “Come out from your hiding. We need to think of a way to get this kid!” Now that the kid had been alerted, it would be more difficult to get him next. In the meantime, Niffler decided to find another way to achieve his goal after wandering for a while. It was almost impossible for him to cause trouble in Cosmo City on his own. In that case, he sh
Niffler had outgrown his use, so his existence was no longer meaningful. Scarlet had found a new target. When she first entered the city, Scarlet had gathered a lot of information. It was rumored that the mayor of this city preferred beautiful women and would bring them into the mayor’s residence. However, the masses quickly refuted this unfounded gossip. Many people felt that this rumor was untrue and respected their mayor very much. The person who leaked the news had rotten eggs thrown at him and had to run away. However, Scarlet felt something off about this. As an experienced person, Scarlet knew there had to be a reason for this rumor. Since someone mentioned it, something must be up. Scarlet followed her memory and found the man spreading the rumors. He had been beaten quite badly and was tending to his wounds. He was startled by Scarlet’s sudden appearance and quickly dodged. Scarlet comforted the man, “Don’t worry, I’m not here to make things difficult for you. I wa
“Since that’s your request, I’ll oblige.” Philip flew up the stage and quickly landed next to the old monk. Everyone was jealous to see Philip forging a connection with the old monk. Many people at the scene recognized Philip and knew who he was. “Look, isn't that Philip? I can’t believe that the old monk is so interested in Philip. It seems that we can’t take Philip lightly.” “I always thought Philip was a loser, but maybe I’m mistaken.” “He’s on very good terms with the Celestial Palace. Why would you think he was a loser?” Everyone discussed this topic with great interest. Carlos was quite close to Philip, so he felt proud to hear those comments. He knew that everyone was just jealous of Philip. The old monk stretched out his hand and invited Philip to go to his room. Philip nodded at his indication. “You look like a newcomer. Sure enough, the younger generation is taking over the world. For someone at your age to reach this level, you’re certainly a force to be
No one had ever seen the old monk, so they did not know what he was like. Philip and his party soon arrived at Zenith, which looked very grand just like a palace. The large arena in the middle was crowded with people. Everyone was looking at the stage, waiting to pay homage to this legendary old monk. Some people had seen the old monk and heard his lecture in the past. They felt that they had benefited from it, so they arrived early this time to grab a good spot. Others had never seen the old monk, but they knew they would benefit from his lecture about practice. Philip and Carlos squeezed into the middle of the crowd and found seats. Philip was very curious about the old monk and could not wait to see him. Soon, the old monk appeared in front of everyone. He looked very impressive. Seeing his attire, Philip felt that this old man was definitely not an ordinary person. His clothes were very expensive, not something anyone could afford. It was not only in reference to the pr
Rabbit was attacked by the spell before he could react. He stood on the spot blankly, wondering what was going on. Rabbit tried to move when he felt that something was wrong with him. He seemed to have lost control of his body and could not move. “You have no say in this matter. Since you left with me, it means that you've agreed to follow me.” The hooded man was calm. He did not think that Rabbit could escape his clutches easily. After all, the piece of yellow paper was not an ordinary item. He had gone to great lengths to get it. He could control the rabbit’s mind and body fearlessly with that piece of yellow paper. Over time, the rabbit would eventually become his puppet. The hooded man was very excited to think that he would have a powerful helper. Rabbit lost his senses and had no idea what happened. Subconsciously, Rabbit wanted to resist, but he could not for some reason. He could only stand and wait for orders. “Hey, bring me a glass of water,” the hooded man said
“I sense a familiar vibe from you. Where are you from?” Rabbit asked curiously. He had a feeling that this man did not belong to this world. He felt familiar. The man stared at Rabbit while thinking about how to take it away. “I have many secrets. Do you want to know more? Come with me, then. I can give you a good life and help you quickly level up. You can become the best rabbit in existence and stand at the top of this world!” Rabbit hopped over and nodded excitedly. He knew that this person was mysterious and weird, so he wanted to find out more. The hooded man was shocked that this rabbit was dumb enough to leave with him. However, he did not reveal his smugness and just held the rabbit in his arms devoutly. He never thought that he could have such a powerful pet. Thinking of this, he decided to do something to make this rabbit his own. This rabbit had developed intelligence, so it would not agree to become his pet so easily. Rabbit was just leaving with him, but being
The hooded man was very interested in Rabbit and wanted to make contact with him to find out more about him. He quickly found Philip’s house and was surprised to find that it was surrounded by a barrier that blocked all his perceptions, which made him conflicted. It was not a place he could enter at will. He felt some energy fluctuations from formations too. If he was not mistaken, entering this place would be dangerous for him. After much deliberation, he turned around and left without staying any longer. His visit here was enough to verify his guess. Since Philip could come up with such a powerful formation and barrier, he was certainly a force to be reckoned with. At the very least, Philip was not someone he could deal with so easily. As for Rabbit, the hooded man was not bothered by him at all. He just wanted to know how Philip subdued such a powerful pet. The hooded man had dealt with many monster beasts in the past but failed to subdue any. He had even suffered badly un
“Philip's strength mostly comes from his very powerful pet rabbit. Although it's a monster beast, it's a force to be reckoned with. It isn't something anyone can deal with,” Hogster said with lingering fear. He could not forget how Rabbit had beaten Alain to a pulp. “Yes, the rabbit is a force to be reckoned with. You'd better not mess with it for no reason. I really wonder where such a powerful monster beast came from.” Alain seemed very steadfast, but he was already having a mental meltdown. However, he did not want to embarrass himself in public, so he gritted his teeth and hung on. The hooded man looked at Alain and sneered inwardly. He took out a pill from his pocket and handed it to him. “Take this or I’m afraid you’ll collapse soon.” He could notice Alain’s condition at a glance and knew he would not last long. “Forget it. I won’t hide it from you. In fact, the rabbit inflicted all these injuries on me. I wouldn’t be in this miserable state if the rabbit weren’t that
Although the strength of the test subject had increased, he was not highly valued at all because his talent was not affected and did not meet the guild’s requirements. “Okay, you may leave now. Your strength has improved, so make sure to practice hard and don’t let us down,” Alain said grandly, sending the other party away. He knew that this person was nothing but a loser. The guild member who was the test subject had no idea how pathetic he was. Instead, he looked at Alain with excitement and gratitude. Hogster swallowed the potion without hesitation. He quickly felt the changes in his body as if he had become very powerful in just a few seconds. Hogster looked at the hooded man in surprise. He never thought that he could become so strong. “Wow, this is amazing!” Hogster was shocked by this unexpected outcome. His lack of self-esteem was quickly replaced with brimming confidence, and he even had the urge to mess with Philip. In his opinion, Philip was nothing special. Now
“Don’t worry, I mean no harm. That thing is quite good.” The silly member took the potion nervously and looked at Alain expectantly. “Sir, I think I’m getting stronger!” The silly guy showed off his strength excitedly. Alain stepped forward and examined the guild member curiously. Sure enough, his strength had increased. Alain found the increase in strength quite incredible. Moreover, he did not find any side effects on the other party, which was the most surprising. This potion was amazing beyond anyone’s imagination! Alain was very excited and wished he could take it too. “I believe you should know the value of this potion. Just win the competition and stop worrying about the rest.” Alain and the hooded man stepped aside to discuss offering the boys and girls. Hogster was taken aback to hear them. The two quickly reached an agreement as they knew how unethical this transaction was. “Father, you actually agreed to his request! Aren't you afraid that it’ll be expose
By taking the potion, a person could increase their overall strength, and there would be no side effects. It was a miracle potion, indeed. Alain was stunned to hear that. He felt that the hooded man was bragging. How could there be such an amazing potion? “Are you serious? It can’t be that simple.” Alain took the potion from the other party and sized it up, wondering if he should trust this thing. “If you don't believe it, you can give it a try. I don’t mind. You have many people under your command anyway. You can choose to use them as a test subject.” The hooded man was quite cold and aloof in both his actions and speech. Alain nervously clenched the potion tightly. “In that case, I’ll give it a try. Let me find someone.” Alain did not fully trust the hooded man’s words. In his opinion, it was better to play it safe. Who knew if anything would happen? He was nervous about giving something like this to his precious son. At this time, a guild member who was not highly valu
