Scarlet was surprised that everything went so smoothly. This father and son were so gullible. Scarlet was also proud that the trap she set caused conflicts among many people. “Let’s see what you can do next, little guy.” Scarlet smiled as Cosmo left. She took another pill to ensure her appearance remained unchanged. She could only gain the trust of others by maintaining this appearance.… Meanwhile, Alton found Mark. At first, he thought he would let Mark take charge, but he was so slow that Alton was getting impatient. “Have you taken any action? Why haven't I heard anything?” Alton questioned Mark unhappily. “If you can’t get it done, let someone else do it!” Alton snapped so fiercely that the domestic staff cowered in fear. Mark sighed and told Alton what happened the other day. At first, he wanted to take this opportunity to capture Philip’s alchemist. Not only did he fail, but he also alerted the enemy. His men were keeping watch at the door but saw no signs of the othe
Before Alton’s arrival, Mark had sent someone to report the situation to Alton, but it seemed he had not heard of it yet. “As a last resort, I plan to break into the yard and capture the kid by force. That’s the only hope we have. What else can we do if the kid refuses to leave the house?” Everyone discussed the plan and finally made an important decision. They would kidnap the kid by force. The kid was just an immature teenager and would not understand these plots and grudges. If they could not lure him out, they could use some special means to trick him into joining them. The discussion slowly shifted to talking about their children. “Try and talk to Cosmo nicely. He’s a good kid. Maybe he’s just feeling rebellious. If that doesn’t work, we can think of something else. It’s a mental health issue that has to be addressed in time,” Mark advised Alton in a roundabout way as if he knew something. Alton was puzzled by Mark’s odd remarks. “What exactly do you mean? Just spit
Alton clenched his fists, shocked by his son’s actions. “He wants Philip to deal with me, there's no doubt about it!” Alton quickly guessed the truth. He would not hesitate to kill anyone who had second thoughts, but this was his precious son. His only child! “Yes, we have to kill Philip at once to prevent anything from happening or he’ll lead my son astray!” In Alton's twisted mind, everything was Philip's fault. Cosmo would never have the crazy thought of getting rid of him if Philip had not brainwashed him. “It’s all his fault. I only have one precious son to inherit the family business. If anything happens, I’ll obliterate him!” Alton was prepared to do whatever it took to get rid of Philip. Once Treasure House was in his city, he could easily control it. “I have a plan.” Alton pulled Mark over for a private discussion. After Alton changed his mind and decided to kill Philip, Mark was excited. He could take this advantage to gain some benefits too. Meanwhile, Phil
A vicious pressure swept over them. The hunters spat out blood, and their faces turned pale. They knew that they could not survive in front of this ferocious beast. “It’s a lizard beast!” Someone called out the beast's name but was sent flying by a sweep of its tail the next second.With several flicks of its tail, none of the hunters remained. The commotion reached Imperial City, and all practitioners noticed the situation. They stared in the direction of Guzo Forest worriedly, feeling afraid. The more powerful the practitioner, the more they cherished their lives, so no one would face this unknown danger easily. Noelle felt the strange vibe too. She was anxious to contact Philip, but they were in two different worlds with no way of communication. Philip had just left and probably would not return for a while. Noelle was anxious, but they could only wait in the store, wondering when Philip would return to take care of things. “Noelle, what should we do?” Custard said wo
Granite could only take care of himself. Noelle calmed everyone down with a few words, and their emotions slowly returned to normal. The store was open as usual, but their sales doubled. “We've increased the quantity of our products. We may face various dangers from now on. Everyone needs more reserves of various pills and weapons, so we should double the quantity.” As a smart person, Noelle knew exactly what to do. Anyone who guessed the situation would visit the store and spend as much as they could. Even if they spent all their fortune, they had to buy something to protect themselves. People from the surrounding cities evacuated with their families and belongings as quickly as they could. Cosmo City was undoubtedly the best place to hide from the beasts. The city was quite big and had good defenses. Their safety could be guaranteed if the city would accept them. If the large cities could not protect them, they could only head to Imperial City, but it was not a place
Some people stood at the door with their families and observed while others walked in curiously to see what Treasure House was selling. “What do they sell here? Is it the same as Bijou Parlor?” “These pills don't even have a fragrance. Are they jelly beans?” The visitors were puzzled and wondered what was going on. The only pill with fragrance was displayed in the middle of the store. The aroma was very strong, and everyone could smell it when they entered the store. People who were tired from traveling felt their energy recovering quickly after smelling the pill's aroma. Everyone quickly surrounded the pill. The store was not open for business. Everyone in this city knew that the business hours were limited, so no one would disturb them from having lunch. However, the outsiders were unaware of this and simply thought it was open for business because the door was left open. They surrounded the fragrant pill with looks of expectation, hoping to buy it. However, they
Everyone argued, “No, sell the pill to me! I’m willing to pay more!” “800 energy stones is really cheap. Such a precious pill would cost at least several thousand in Bijou Parlor!” “If we can get this pill while resources are scarce, it can save a life!” A glimmer of hope ignited in everyone's heart. This energy replenishment pill was simply a godsend. Just a whiff of it could restore some energy, not to mention eating it. Thinking of this, everyone wanted to get this pill. At this time, Granite decisively introduced other pills to them. “This is the worst pill in our store. You should look at other pills! They're very pure, and their aroma is totally contained in the pill, which prevents their medicinal power from leaking,” Granite explained eloquently. Granite believed his speech was perfect and fully demonstrated the power of the pill. However, no one took him seriously and thought he was joking. They felt that no pill could totally conceal its fragrance. Thus, no on
“Madam, don’t you know that all the good stuff is displayed on the side? If the pill doesn’t emit any fragrance, it means that the medicinal effect won’t be lost! Besides, didn’t they inform you that this pill is a defective product?” The young man left happily with his things after saying this, paying no heed to their reaction. He had to hurry home to raise some money to buy more pills. Treasure House was doubling the quantity of goods sold, so it was a good opportunity to stock up or the chance would be lost forever. The outsiders were confused and in doubt, wondering what was going on. “Are they saying that these pills are the best?” Someone stepped forward to take a closer look, but a local resident chased him away. “Stop standing here if you’re not buying. Don’t disturb us. If you want to buy something, line up at the back!” “The store will be closed in a quarter of an hour, so don’t stand in our way!” The local residents knew that the store would only be open fo
“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
