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
Granite glanced at Noelle and Philip. Since they did not speak, he would not interfere either. Granite fumed in anger as he worked. The man who spoke felt a little embarrassed when he was ignored, but it quickly turned into anger. He had never been overlooked like this before. Even though he came here with his family to seek refuge, he would not let anyone look down on him. “I asked you a question. Are you deaf?” The man glanced around and finally focused on Granite. Granite looked like an attendant here and would definitely know where the shopkeeper was. “Tell your shopkeeper to come out. Don’t make me repeat myself. Of course, it’s a different question if you’re deaf or dumb.” He glared at Granite with murderous intent. Granite smiled and said, “Sir, you don’t sound local. It’s best if you don’t mess with the locals.” Although Granite did not recognize the other party, he knew the man was an outsider. The man laughed and said, “You should find out more about Vance Cod o
Vance was a violent person to begin with. After Philip provoked him, he was very angry and ordered his people to destroy the store. Philip was amused. “Drive them away.” Philip waved casually. Granite and the others stood in front of Philip. As attendants, they had the duty and obligation to protect the safety of the store. Vance and his men laughed at Granite, thinking that he was overestimating himself. “I can tell at a glance that you’re no match for my people. Based on your stance, you’re probably a hunter.” The five of them were used to standing in their positions, so Vance easily determined their identities. Philip laughed inwardly. Although this guy was flashy, he was quite knowledgeable. “That’s none of your business. Our job is just to drive you away.” Granite sprang into action without further ado. The guards at the door could not react at all and were sent flying. The strength of the five hunters should not be underestimated. They were already considered
“Let’s go!” Vance shouted and left with his men. Philip sneered as they left. They were pretty strong but not as good as he thought. “Watch out for their retaliation,” Philip reminded Granite. Granite smiled and said, “Don’t you think I can't deal with that guy?” Granite was pretty confident about himself. With Philip’s help, he had improved by leaps and bounds. He was totally different from before. “I know you’re very confident in yourself, but it’s better to be prepared.” Philip could tell that Vance was not someone who would give up easily. As an outsider, he would never accept this indignity and would strive to make a name for himself. Granite was not very concerned about it, but he took Philip’s advice seriously. “Don’t worry, I’ll watch out. I won’t let him get me.” Philip reminded everyone to always be prepared for the worst. Even though they could get rid of the guards, what if the other party found more powerful helpers? Philip’s worries were not unfounded.
Now that Vance's mother was in charge of the finances, everyone had to please her to gain a foothold in Cosmo City. Vance returned to the inn in a huff. This commotion attracted the attention of many people. As the most distinguished son of the family, his mood was very important. Vance did not contain his temper. They had reserved the inn, so only his family members were present. “Mom, someone bullied me!” Vance leaned close to his mother and angrily told her what happened. He did not realize his mistake but felt that Philip was deliberately making things difficult for him. “Why does someone like me have to queue up to buy something? Do they really think we're losers just because our city has been destroyed by beasts?” His mother was furious to hear his inflated story. “What? Where did that brat come from? How dare he attack you? Although we had no choice but to move here, it doesn’t mean we’ll always remain as refugees! We're above commoners! If anyone dares to mess w
Vance was sullen and felt that Philip had hurt him. As a person of high ranking in Breeze City, Vance was not used to such humiliation. “I have to let him know that I’m a person of noble status while someone like him can only hope to remain a shopkeeper for the rest of his life!” No store ever dared to kick him out. Philip was the first. Jeff looked at Vance nervously, wondering why this store messed with Vance. Although he wanted to figure out how the conflict started, it was not the time to speak while they were out in public. Jeff noticed Vance’s air of superiority and sighed. “Do whatever you want, but you have to bear responsibility for your actions! I suggest that we divide our family property so that we can protect ourselves if something goes wrong," Jeff finally stated his thoughts and purpose. Everyone finally realized how important energy stones were after they encountered the beast stampede and were forced to flee from Breeze City. “I think we can consider your
Jeff knew that his action would definitely offend many people, so he sorted out all his connections when he arrived in the city. He would make use of anyone useful to him. After everything was done, he did not expose himself but holed up in a secluded inn. He believed no one could find him. Even though Jeff disapproved of Vance, he would not joke about something like this. He would never use family affairs to cause internal conflicts. Vance was the only heir to the family, and Jeff was resentful of this fact. This position belonged to his elder brother, but everything had changed. Jeff was heartbroken over his brother’s tragic death and mentally prepared himself to accept this job. Although it was difficult to take up the position of head of the family, he relished it. However, others quickly denied this outcome, and even gossipmongers had various stories about Vance’s family. Although the Cod family was quite famous in the next town, they could only find some unnecessary i
