Lyle tested his talent and smiled smugly because he knew he would win the bet. The talent testing device was very advanced. It could test a practitioner’s talent by pouring some energy into it, while an ordinary person had to do it with a drop of blood. The best talent would be indicated by a golden light, which was the highest it could go. The first batch of troublemakers had very poor talents, and their results were almost embarrassing to look at. Some of them even displayed a black light, which was simply a disgrace. However, they were not ashamed of it. After all, they were ordinary people with little ability, so they were not disappointed. It was just a pity that they could never become a practitioner. It would be great if they could win something from Lyle, so they were happy at that thought. “Although we’re not talented, it’s not to the point of being embarrassing. I believe that we’re much better than you!” “That's right. My result was pink, which is pretty good. I
For a while, all the major guilds bickered, eager to grab hold of Lyle. The people who initiated the bet were dumbfounded and shocked by Lyle’s powerful talent. It was fine if his talent was ordinary, but it was obviously not the case. The guilds were not fools. They would never pay such a high price to recruit an ordinary guy. Lyle simply turned to the people who bet against him. “Don’t we have a bet? Is it time to settle the score?” Lyle pointed to the things piled up on the side with a bright smile. They belonged to him now. “I’ll take these so-called heirlooms of yours, but to be honest, I’m not interested in them at all. It’s good enough if I can sell them as scrap.” Lyle mocked them on top of taking their things, which was downright annoying. However, they did not dare to say anything in the face of Lyle's great talent. They could only sigh and let Lyle take their things. “In that case, we can only accept our defeat, but do you need any helpers? All of us can…”
The small guilds chose to give up but not the large guilds. They tried to persuade Lyle. “Even if you have a teacher, he won’t be as professional as the guilds. You have to believe that a guild can provide a better practice system and make you more powerful!” “Why don’t you consider the Pill Guild? We're the biggest pill producer and can give you a bright future.” People from all the major guilds eagerly promoted themselves. Even though Lyle had rejected them, they refused to back down and doubled their efforts. Lyle was getting impatient and annoyed by these persistent people. “I’m sorry, but I’m really not interested in this area. You’re welcome to buy things in our store, but you can forget about recruiting me. This store belongs to my teacher, so please stop doing this.” After saying this, Lyle turned around and returned to the store gallantly. He had no intention of joining these guilds anyway. At this moment, the device that tested Lyle's talent exploded, maybe beca
People from the Pill Guild were full of disdain. In their opinion, Philip was dispensable and could be dealt with easily. Philip did not know that he had been targeted for no reason. He thought they would give up. After all, Lyle had turned them down. No one should persist so shamelessly. However, he underestimated the power of a genius. A genius like Lyle was highly sought after. “Philip, I think these people are planning something at the door. Do you think they’ll attack our store?” “Hehe, if they dare to attack our store, I’ll kill them!” Lyle and Aslan chatted at the door. They regarded this store as their home. Anyone who dared to destroy their property would be dead. Philip shrugged nonchalantly. “They can do whatever they want. Their actions have nothing to do with me. Maybe they just want to cause trouble.” Philip made himself a pot of tea. These guild members always did what they wanted, so he did not take them seriously. It was getting late, so Philip closed
More and more people queued up for the test the next day. Among them, a man entered Philip's store and bought the cheapest pill after much deliberation, which cost him three million energy stones. Philip was baffled by this transaction that happened out of the blue because no one else was willing to enter his store other than the old men who were his regular customers. Obviously, someone was trying to tarnish his reputation outside, which was why his business became so bad. When Philip was about to close his business in the afternoon, someone turned up at the door. Some people surrounded Philip’s store in disdain as if they were going to cause trouble. Aslan moved closer. He did not know what they were trying to do, but he sensed their hostility. “Who are you? What are you doing?” Aslan glared at them impatiently. They tossed something at Philip fearlessly. “Something happened to our people after taking your pill! We want an explanation!” Philip frowned when he saw the
The energy stones were marked with the Pill Guild’s logo, so they had to belong to the Pill Guild. In that case, these people had to be from the Pill Guild. Philip smiled without a word. He did not have to waste his effort in investigating the matter now. Everything was right in front of him. The members of other major guilds gathered around. They noticed the conflict and wanted to watch the fun. “I wanted to check out this store today, but I’m surprised to see this scene. Is this store running an illegal business?” “Selling a problematic pill can be quite serious. I’d advise everyone to stay away from this store in case anything happens to you!” The onlookers spoke arrogantly without any consideration for Philip. They just wanted to humiliate Philip. “Who are you? Why do you say that our pills are problematic? Are your pills better?” Aslan retorted. In his opinion, nothing would be better than Philip’s pills. The onlookers reacted with disdain at Aslan’s remarks. “Of c
Philip smiled, waiting for the other party to reveal their ultimate objective. The people from the Pill Guild were taken aback by Philip's indifference. After much deliberation, the first speaker finally decided to extend an invitation to Lyle. “You must be Lyle. As you can see, they're not good people. Why don't you join us? The Pill Guild has a good reputation and will never harm others.” The person from the Pill Guild smiled brightly, trying to use the guild to influence Lyle. “My name is Dwight Canning, and you can call me Dwight. We’ll be a family after you join the guild.” Hearing that, Lyle burst out laughing at that ridiculous remark. “Say, Dwight, you think too highly of yourself. As I said, I won’t join any guilds. I don’t care about your lousy guilds at all, do you understand?” After saying that, Lyle sat on a stool leisurely. Dwight felt very angry at Lyle’s uncaring attitude. He wished he could take this guy to the guild by force. He would have done so if L
Dwight did not realize that Lyle was so powerful. He thought that Lyle was just talented, but he was so strong as well. He might become an official member very quickly if he joined the guild. “Haha, you’re really ignorant. You can enjoy a better life if you join our guild, and you'll have more than what you have here!” Dwight scrambled up miserably, rubbing the sore spot where he was kicked. The pain in his chest where he was kicked just now spread all over his body. He felt like he had been insulted. It was a disgrace that a dignified member of the Pill Guild was humiliated like this. “You've seen my strength. This is just the tip of the iceberg of my teacher’s knowledge. If I can defeat you, it shows that the Pill Guild is full of losers!” Lyle said harshly. Dwight was furious. He wanted to ask someone to attack Lyle but gave up after recalling his strength. In consideration of their strength, it would be embarrassing if they were defeated again. He could not guarantee th
Anyone with any ideas could only shake their heads helplessly after hearing Philip’s remarks. At the same time, they were amazed by the ring’s function. “Wow, that’s great. The person who made this thing must be a genius!” Cameron clapped his hands excitedly. Of course, he was worried that someone would steal his treasure. After all, owning a treasure was a sin in itself. It was inevitable for others to covet his treasure. It would be bad if they attacked him because of greed. With Philip’s explanation, his trouble would be reduced. “That sounds amazing.” The patriarch of the Lamy family seemed dissatisfied. He had some crooked thoughts too. With their family’s financial resources, they could not buy so many rings, so he planned to steal the other two as well. He was not that stupid to steal from Philip, so he could only set his sights on the other major families. Everyone wanted the rings anyway. As long as he refused to admit it, no one would know that he was guilty.
It was too much to use half of the family's assets and properties in exchange for one storage space. “Are you sure about this? Do you know how much that would cost?” “The Lamy family must be crazy to go all out for this treasure!” Everyone complained helplessly. They might be in trouble if the Lamy family insisted on doing it this way. “I know you guys can’t afford it, so stop wasting your time. The Lamy family has made an offer. If you can up the price, go ahead. Don’t stop us from buying that treasure!” the patriarch of the Lamy family said smugly. He felt that his offer was high enough and no one could afford it, so this thing would definitely belong to him. Even Ronan was surprised by this development. He had heard of the Lamy family before. Ronan had worked for the Lamy family before, but their attitude toward him was the same as that of other families—indifferent and disdainful. Therefore, Ronan had the same bad impression about everyone. The Lamy family was not
Rather than saying that they were unwilling to believe it, it was more likely that they did not dare to believe it. Ronan calmly put the ring aside. “I'm wearing a ring that looks better than the ones you're about to get. Watch this.” After saying that, Ronan demonstrated to everyone what a real storage space could do. Anything he took in his hand vanished and appeared at will, which looked simply amazing. Everyone was jealous at this scene. They stared at Ronan’s hands nervously, trying to see if he was performing a magic trick or showing off the storage ring. After Ronan's many demonstrations, they finally confirmed that Ronan was not lying. Everything was true. Everyone exclaimed in amazement. “Wow, I can’t believe that I really saw a storage space in action!” “It’s amazing!” “I have to get hold of one!” Although Sadie had been dealt a heavy blow, she hid in a corner and observed the situation instead of leaving. She wanted to see how things would develop. When S
“Heh, look at those crazy family patriarchs. They can't wait to suck up to Ronan! Do you think they’ll question the Claude family after hearing about the storage space? They’ll only turn up in person to find out about it! “With so many of them putting pressure on us, what do you think we can do? Now, we may not even get that amazing storage space because there are too many people competing with us!” Cameron was furious and almost passed out in anger because of this stupid woman. Sadie scowled at the yard in disbelief as she realized that the crowd causing the commotion was the patriarchs of the other major families. She thought that they were servants sent by the families, but everything was different from what she imagined. “How did this happen? I planned everything perfectly. We just need to throw the wool over their eyes. Things shouldn't have turned out like this!” Sadie almost had a mental breakdown at this bad news. “No way. This is impossible…” Seeing the family
“Forget it. I won't talk to you anymore. I want to claim the credit for what I’ve done!” Sadie quickly turned and left. The butler wanted to stop her, but she vanished before he could say anything. In the end, he remained silent. “The plan really backfired on her. Unfortunately, she can only blame it on her bad luck.” The butler knew the situation the family was facing now. Their residence would probably be turned upside down. The Claude family could have owned a storage space, but everything was ruined now. Not only would they fail to get one, but others would also humiliate them! Sadie quickly arrived at the yard and rolled her eyes at the crowd. “Dad, over here!” Sadie beckoned her father excitedly as if she had great news for him. Cameron was very anxious at this point and wished he could find a solution. When Sadie called him, he thought his solution had appeared. He rushed over and looked at Sadie curiously. “What’s up? Is there any good news?” He was very excited
Everyone was excited to hear that Ronan had those legendary items. It was great. “Our family has to get one!” The patriarch of the Lamy family was the most excited. The members of this family had always been strong-headed and were determined to get it. The other families were unhappy to hear that. They were not that bad either, so they were annoyed by that high-handed remark. “All the major families are powerful in our own rights. I think there’s no need to conclude so quickly.” “I agree. I’m afraid you’ll hide and cry if you fail to get one. That'll be embarrassing.” “Even the major families are not confident about this. Who do you think you are to get it?” Everyone targeted the swell-headed Lamy family even though they were indeed big and powerful enough to steal the treasure from them. The Claude family was the most excited yet regretful. Instead of feeling happy that the families were bickering with each other, they were worried. Although the families were fighting
Besides, Philip mentioned that he would help Ronan make a name for himself. The storage rings that Philip provided were quite meager, with only 30 to 70 cubic feet of storage space each. However, that did not stop Ronan from admiring Philip. He knew that Philip had various treasures, but he was willing to share them with Ronan, which was too generous for words. To prevent Ronan from getting the short end of the stick, Philip also provided some common things for doing business. Due to this, Ronan wanted to serve Philip. In their world, the best way to express gratitude was to acknowledge the other party as their master. It was not only to seize the opportunity but also to find a good roof over their head. Thinking of this, Ronan did not dare to call Philip his brother anymore. Ronan decided to approach Philip at night and find a way to acknowledge him as his master so that he could serve Philip wholeheartedly. Philip had no idea about Ronan’s thoughts. He was still think
Everything Rabbit owned, including the storage space and various treasures, was given by Philip. So, Rabbit could come up with some amazing things for these people to please him. Rabbit felt very proud of this accomplishment. “Ahem, everyone, follow me! I know you’re eager to see Philip, but you have to follow the rules. Don't be as rude as the Claude family!” Rabbit said calmly. He was very unhappy with the Claude family. Hearing that, members of the Claude family were livid. They were shocked by Rabbit's words. He was deliberately putting them down! Those remarks were likely to affect their status among the major families. That off-handed tone might cause other major families to reject them. “I’m surprised that this family would be so arrogant and disrespect you!” “How could they treat that precious storage space so carelessly? I say, those people are too bold to disregard such a valuable treasure!” “This family is stupid and arrogant. Let's ignore them to avoid any ass
However, Cameron and his people were arrogant enough to lock Philip up. How dare they?! “Cameron, you went too far!” “I never knew that the Claude family were such people. I really misjudged you before. You’re really too much for treating such an amazing person that way.” Everyone pretended to be angry and kept speaking up for Philip, trying to please Rabbit and indirectly please Philip. Cameron was startled by Rabbit’s words, which easily landed him in trouble. “No, that's not exactly the case. I didn't lock Philip up but gave him a place to stay. How would I dare to lock up such a powerful person? You really think too highly of me.” However, Cameron’s explanation was useless. Everyone believed that Cameron locked Philip up on purpose, so they wanted to get him into trouble. Whether Cameron locked Philip up or treated Philip as a valuable guest, they wanted to ruin Cameron’s reputation. Once they got rid of Cameron, they could focus on pleasing Philip. “You must be
