“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
Alton could always find something to help him decide. At this time, Alton was focused on connecting with people from Breeze City. The Cod family was quite big. Arriving here in one piece was enough to prove their strength. It was better than nothing. The gains would far outweigh the losses if Alton worked with them. Although Jeff was unhappy with Vance’s actions, he chose to help Vance for the sake of the family’s interests. Since the family wanted to gain a foothold in the city, they had to make a name for themselves. The simplest method was to mess with Treasure House. Vance and his men only had a grudge against Treasure House since they arrived, so they decided to target the other party. Alton happily received Jeff, who was the sole representative. “Indeed, I've heard of the Cod family. You have a good reputation, and you have good financial standing to back you up,” Alton said with envy. To be honest, he was truly jealous of such a wealthy family. Although he held a high po
“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
