“You’re here. Are you interested in my store? You’re welcome to take a closer look. The yard at the back is very big. You can move right in! There are even small houses at the back!” The old man greeted Philip very warmly. He was probably very interested in this store to return. “Indeed, I'm quite interested in your store,” Philip said with a smile. Oracle turned up, surprised to see Philip and the others again. “Didn’t you take a look last night?” Although Oracle spoke to Philip smugly, Philip saw the fatigue in his eyes. Oracle’s booth was a wreck last night. Oracle had to replace the flag this morning and buy new stools for the booth. “I did take a look last night. I saw people knocking your booth over,” Philip said with a smile, waiting for Oracle’s explanation. “Hehe, only the street punks would do that. My booth has nothing to do with them!” Oracle cursed unhappily. Philip disagreed. “It won’t be a problem if you set up a booth in a designated area, but this p
Philip smiled as a plan formed in his mind. Seeing that Philip was serious about this store, Oracle felt nervous. He did not expect that Philip would intervene. His plan was just about to succeed as the old man was ready to give in, but Philip decided to buy the store instead. “What? If you were here last night, don’t you realize what’s going on? Are you not afraid?” Oracle threatened Philip fiercely. In his opinion, Philip was seeking death. Philip signaled Aslan. Aslan rushed forward, grabbed Oracle, and threw him into the store. “Do you have the cheek to say that? If not for you, this store might have been sold for millions of energy stones!” They had inspected the store. Both its renovation and location were quite good. More importantly, the store looked very grand, a good fit for Philip’s tastes. The small houses in the backyard were well-built, more than enough to accommodate a dozen people. Hence, Philip felt that the price was too low. Philip thought it was
Oracle grimaced, shocked that Philip exposed his secret in public. With Philip’s explanation and Oracle’s reaction, the old man finally realized what happened. He was shocked by the truth. Oracle did not hesitate to kill most of his family members just for the store. His family was everything to him. Oracle was simply appalling for harming others just for a store. The old man could hardly control himself. He took a magic weapon and attacked Oracle. The weapon was all the old man had left. He planned to sell the magic weapon to treat his son's illness. “I can cure your son's condition and also pay you 800,000 energy stones for the store,” Philip said solemnly without any intention of taking advantage of the old man. The old man nodded. Although he was devastated to learn the truth, the dead could not return to life, but the living had to continue to survive. “Can you really cure my son? He has lost his mind.” The old man called his son over and looked at his foolish son he
The old man burst into tears at his son’s recovery. He hugged his son and shook his head helplessly. Philip asked Lyle to give the old man the money before leaving with the house deed. They had to buy some daily necessities, so they left the space to the father and son instead of wasting time.Before they left, Philip sealed Oracle’s energy core. No matter how powerful Oracle was, he could not break Philip's constraints by force. “This guy is no different from an ordinary person now. You can do whatever you want,” Philip said. The old man was excited to hear Philip’s casual remark. He had suffered enough of Oracle’s torture. He would not miss the opportunity to teach Oracle a good lesson. “That’s great. You’re such a good person, young man. Not only did you solve such a big problem for me, but you also helped me deal with this mean guy!” The old man dragged Oracle away excitedly. A trace of resentment flashed in his eyes. He wanted revenge. This so-called fortune teller
Aslan kindly gave Lyle a soft mattress too. Lyle was hooked and wished he could stay in bed every day. At this time, Philip brought out some pills, weapons, and charms, all byproducts from the kids’ practice. Although most of them were considered semi-finished products, Philip felt they were good enough. Philip had done a market survey. Although the products on the market looked good, the actual results were not as good as expected. Philip knew that he had to open a store to gain popularity. The opening of Philip’s store attracted the attention of many people. Everyone wondered if anything was wrong with the store. Many people watched cautiously, but no one dared to enter. Some bolder people took a closer look and found that the spooky feeling was no longer there. “You’re really bold to buy this store. Are you not afraid of death?” “Haven’t you heard the rumors about this place? You should have asked around before buying this store!” Everyone advised Philip to get a
His body was not only marred with old wounds but also old illnesses that had not been treated properly. Such things had an impact on practice, so his level had been stagnant over the years because of this. This commander was not young. If he could not find a way to level up, he might leave the world soon with his current physical fitness. Although he was relatively young among practitioners, his injuries were too serious. He was curious about the pill Philip handed to him and wondered what Philip meant. “Do you want to sell this pill to me?” The commander was puzzled to find someone selling something to him. When he was younger, he tried various pills to treat his problems, but nothing worked over the years. As he fought on the battlefield again and again, his problems became more serious, and old wounds tended to relapse. His wounds ached at night, making him very uncomfortable. He was out to look for a cure and discovered this store. Philip's store was quite nice,
“Don’t worry. As a businessman, I won’t make a loss. If my pill can cure you, I believe you’ll become the best walking advertisement for me. If I’m not mistaken, you have an extraordinary status.” Philip smiled at him. He had identified the other party's identity at a glance. With so many injuries, he had to be someone in a fairly good position. It would be a pity if he died. The commander was surprised that Philip was so smart to recognize his identity at a glance. “In that case, your wish is my command. I’ll accept this pill. As for the result, I’ll give you the feedback!” He was confident in his influence. If the pill produced any effects, he would do as Philip said without hesitation and recommend Philip to others. He trusted Philip and swallowed the pill in one go. The commander's expression changed after taking the pill. He was amazed by the pill, which melted in his mouth and made him very comfortable. He trembled all over at this extraordinary feeling. “I feel l
The commander yelled in the store hysterically. Philip quickly pulled him to sit aside, lest he lose his composure. “Don't get too excited. It’s just an ordinary pill we're selling in our store to heal injuries. One pill can heal all injuries whether old or new, but it costs a lot to produce, at least three million energy stones.” Everyone in this place was rich. Philip randomly set a price to earn as much as he could. He knew that these people were more than willing to spend a fortune to treat their injuries. “The price is not that expensive. I think such a wonderful pill is simply priceless!” the commander said with satisfaction, but it was quickly replaced by horror as he remembered something. “Wait a second, you said this is just an ordinary pill sold in your store. Are you saying you have a lot more of it?” The commander was very excited and could not wait to buy more. “This pill is simply amazing. Can you sell me another one? I’ll also pay for the pill I’ve taken,
“I’m surrendering to the humans, not the merfolk. Who do you think you are?” The chief of the fish creatures knew that he stood a chance to survive if he surrendered to the humans, but they would be dead if they gave in to the merfolk. The merfolk hated their existence and could not wait to kill them. On the other hand, the humans did not have a big grudge against them. At most, he would allow Katie to stab them a few times. Moray scowled at his words and trembled with anger. “Fine, remember your words. You’ll pay the price for what you said today.” He turned away from the chief of the fish creatures' arrogant face and glanced at Philip instead. In his opinion, Philip should at least fulfill his promise. However, Philip paid no heed to him at all. “You should know what I want. I won’t take action if you hand it over of your own accord. Although you’re ugly, at least you never messed with me,” Philip said with a smile. The fish creatures could not refute the fact that they
Tom watched this scene smugly. His plan worked. Although he failed to get Katie’s agreement, he managed to sow discord between Marina and Philip. He could proceed with the next step. Marina was very upset now, so he had to seize the opportunity to intervene. Katie was the center of this fight. It was time for a battle to the death. Philip watched from the sidelines. He would only step forward to provide help when Katie needed it. Otherwise, he would simply keep an eye on her. He wanted to take the opportunity to train her as an ace up his sleeve. The fish creatures were fully prepared to fight Philip and the others, but they had no idea that they were so strong. They thought that the humans had ordinary bodies and could not resist their poison. The fish creatures' venom should be lethal for humans, making them unable to resist. However, these humans seemed indestructible. They had no way to deal with them no matter how hard they tried. “What’s up with these people's bodies?
Tom was counting on Philip to help them deal with the fish creatures. He thought that he could sit back and reap the benefits, but things were not as simple as imagined. Philip would not fall for it so easily. Philip glanced at Tom, disappointed by the eagerness in his eyes. He did not expect that the simple and honest young man would show such a side. At this time, Tom glanced at Katie. He wanted to take the opportunity to win Katie over to his side. “Katie, just look at the ugly side of these people. I begged Philip to bring you to this world back then, so I’m obligated to protect you. Philip is up to no good. I want to take responsibility for what I did back then,” Tom said righteously. Tom felt smug about it, but it was quickly replaced by tension and worry. Katie looked at Tom in confusion, thinking that maybe he was a little unhinged. “You didn’t beg Philip to take me in back then. I was the one who begged him to take me away. “If you hadn't fled to our fishing villag
Moray glanced at Philip with disdain and anger, blaming Philip for everything. He would not have suffered this humiliation if not for Philip. “No matter what, I’ll take care of you right now. Putting aside whether I’m working with humans or not, you’ll die as long as you can’t defeat me.” Moray put up a tough front, feeling annoyed about this. He was embarrassed because of Philip. He vowed to cut off all ties with Philip later and never let anyone know that they worked with humans. Aslan was annoyed by Moray’s unpleasant words. “What do you mean, old man? You behaved differently when you wanted to use us and changed your attitude after using us. Are you burning bridges now?” Aslan with his hot temper knew that the best way to deal with Moray was to condemn him. Moray scowled, surprised that someone dared to complain about him. “What do you mean? Do you think I'm a pushover? You used us to help you deal with the fish creatures, and you want to cut ties with us right after th
Philip had a good impression of Katie. She was passionate about learning and studied very hard. Even Philip felt inferior to her. Since Katie was doing it to seek revenge for her parents, Philip always taught Katie seriously and never kept anything from her. They spoke in a corner privately, and Tom watched with jealousy. Sure enough, Katie had fallen for Philip instead. The way Katie looked at Philip was the same way she looked at Tom back then. It was the worship and admiration for the strong. Tom was depressed at the thought that he had lost Katie in just a few days. Marina keenly noticed Tom's abnormal mood swings. She was curious and wondered what was wrong with him. “Tom, are you okay? Why do you look so bad? Are you feeling unwell? Or were you scared by the sneak attack just now?” Marina was concerned about her personal guard’s unpleasant look. Unexpectedly, Marina’s concern undermined Tom’s confidence instead. “How could I be scared by those things? Do you really th
Moray used to be a rational person, but things were different now. With Tom adding fuel to the fire and coupled with his daughter’s attitude, Moray lost his temper. He could not tolerate Philip's existence anymore. He felt as if Philip was going to snatch Marina away, which annoyed him. Due to his dignity, however, he simply advised Marina not to be so stupid. “How do you know that Philip is the person you know? With demons running rampant, their methods are unpredictable. They could even disguise themselves as elves. What else can stop them?” Tom could not bear it any longer and spoke up. He did not expect that Moray was so bad at convincing his daughter. It would be bad if Marina convinced Moray instead. “What do you mean? Are you saying that Philip has been possessed by a demon? Or is this Philip not the person we know?” Marina’s expression changed slightly. Tom had a certain say in this matter because they returned from Philip’s world together and received help from P
Moray scowled. He did not expect Philip to be right. It was dangerous ahead. He felt embarrassed by his earlier outburst. “Hehe, even if it’s dangerous, that’s no reason to stop. We should…” Marina was angry at her father’s shameful behavior. She wanted Philip to meet her father and have a good chat, but so many things happened instead. “That’s enough. Stop talking. It’s your mistake this time. They told you about the danger ahead, but you insisted on going there anyway. You’re causing trouble on purpose!” Marina was very angry and went to Philip’s side as if she was going to take his side. Tom looked at this scene with jealousy and resentment. Marina trusted Philip more because of this incident. He had made things worse. Philip ignored their internal conflict. He simply found them annoying. He would not object if they wanted to stop the cooperation. “Philip, I heard that the fish creatures have a treasure that allows them to survive in this harsh environment. Maybe we ca
Loony looked at the merfolk with disdain. Before this, he always thought that the merfolk were smart and beautiful creatures, but reality proved that they were stupid. “Sure enough, only birds of a feather can flock together. Only humans can work together,” Loony said in dissatisfaction. He had always been known as a lunatic, so he did not have to watch his words. Aslan stepped forward on behalf of the monster beasts. “You can't say that. You can criticize the merfolk, but don’t get us involved. We’re loyal to Philip.” Moray was angry at their rebuke and wanted to teach Philip a lesson. “You need to decide quickly. We’re about to arrive. Do you want to give up now? That doesn’t make sense. If you’re a man, you need to take action. Don't let me look down on you.” Moray’s tone was condescending, putting on an air of superiority. “Indeed, I don’t dare to take the risk. Why don’t you take the lead?” Philip said with a smile. He did not take the bait because he did not care ab
Aslan wiped the mud off his body in annoyance. The mud was very sticky, and no one could avoid it. Aslan was disgusted and cursed the fish creatures to hell and back. “Philip, I feel something is wrong ahead. Is it an ambush?” Black Rabbit looked at Philip nervously. He felt something was not right. Philip was surprised by Black Rabbit’s keen senses and wondered what was going on. “Just speak your mind. There’s no need to hold back. We’re on the same side,” Philip said. Black Rabbit nodded and pointed up ahead. “I feel that there’s something wrong with that place. I think someone has set up a barrier to trap us.” Although Black Rabbit had no special ability, he had very keen senses. If he sensed something wrong, they should check it out. Rabbit joined the discussion. Although he hated Black Rabbit, he had to admit that he was capable. “Black Rabbit has a great perception of danger that's much stronger than that of ordinary practitioners.” Everyone stopped and pondered
