Chapter 5262

Lance angrily rebuked Fernand. He wanted to have a good conversation but lost the desire to speak at the sight of Fernand’s appalling face. He just wanted to curse at him. Fernand scowled at Lance’s outspoken words and arrogant attitude. This brat dared to challenge him! “Such audacity. I think everything’s just a coincidence. You didn’t do anything that great, so stop putting on airs!” The two of them argued in front of the emperor, neither one backing down. “That’s enough. Everyone has worked hard, so let’s put this aside. I’ll compensate you for it.” The emperor could not figure out the situation, but he could not condone this racket either. Thus, he glossed things over and ended the argument. Lance bowed in dissatisfaction and left. He did not have a good impression of Fernand and loathed staying in the same room with him. “Only a loser will shoot his mouth away without the facts,” Lance muttered as he passed by Fernand. Fernand was angry, but he knew that he was no

“Collect the beasts for now. The fur and hide won’t be worth much, but the meat should be tender and delicious, am I right?” the emperor asked curiously. As far as he knew, most beast meat had an average taste. The meat was tough and not something he preferred, so the emperor rarely ate beast meat. However, the emperor had never seen the beasts that attacked them this time, so he was curious and eager to have a taste. “Don’t worry, leave it to me!” Fernand patted his chest, confident that he could handle it. “It doesn’t matter if we can't get any money, but our strength will greatly improve after we eat the meat of a beast,” Fernand said with a smile. He was speaking from his own experience over the years. The emperor was very interested. He summoned his people to gather the edible meat and bring it back to his palace after cutting it into pieces. He did not want others to know about it. Otherwise, everyone would disturb him during mealtimes. Fernand was expectant.As

“Let’s see what an unworthy prime minister can do to me!” Fernand was very confident. He knew that although the prime minister’s position and power were higher than his, after what happened with the recent beast invasion, his status would soar beyond anyone’s imagination. Many people opposed the deportation of refugees, and Fernand took this opportunity to overthrow many loyal officials. Fernand was simply carrying out the emperor’s orders, but he took advantage of this limelight to spread the news about the officials’ actions, including how they disobeyed the royal decree and kept the refugees in captivity at home. He also spread the word about how their private aid and assistance to refugees had greatly affected Fernand’s work of deporting them. In a nutshell, he made the issue more serious than it was. The emperor could not accept anyone disobeying his orders. No ruler in the world could tolerate this, so even though the officials were loyal, they were ostracized. The

When Alton returned to the room, Jeff had been waiting for him. Seeing Alton, Jeff stood up respectfully and greeted him. As the mayor, Alton was full of arrogance. He looked at Jeff in disdain and said unhappily, “I didn’t expect to see you. Just speak your mind and stop wasting my time.” He wanted to take this opportunity to get something from the Cod family. Now that the Cod family had taken root in Cosmo City, it would not be that easy for them to leave. He would not let them leave without giving him anything in return. “The Cod family is in a critical situation right now, so I’d like to seek your help,” Jeff pretended to plead with Alton. Jeff seemed very anxious about getting Alton to save the Cod family, but in fact, he was very calm and even thinking of taking a nap. Since he bought the storage ring from Philip, he had been full of confidence. Every time he passed Treasure House, he would bow in worship. Jeff knew that Philip was not afraid of the Cod family or

Although Philip mentioned before that he would auction some things, it never happened, so everyone gradually lost interest. Now that the door was open, Jeff did not make a commotion but ran over and looked inside expectantly. He saw Aslan busy at work and Philip instructing him. Although Jeff did not recognize Aslan, he knew Philip! “Shopkeeper, are you open for business? I’ve been waiting for ages!” Jeff said excitedly. Philip recognized this man who had bought a storage ring previously. He observed Jeff and found that his demeanor had changed. This guy looked very dejected when Philip first met him, but he was in high spirits now. More importantly, Jeff’s luck seemed different. “It’s been a while. You look a lot better,” Philip said in delight. He could tell that Jeff was a nice person. “Yeah, it’s been a while. I’m doing very well now. Are you open for business? Can I buy something?” Jeff could not put the storage ring out of his mind. The ring had helped him a lot

In summary, all the missing money was Vance’s fault, and Jeff, the real perpetrator, had nothing to do with it. “Your son is so smart that he squandered all the family’s money!” “Tell us how you spent the money! How did you spend so much money in two weeks?” “If you refuse to tell us, we’ll kick you out!” The Cod family members shouted angrily, certain that Vance was the thief. Vance was about to curse these unreasonable people when he recalled that his bodyguards were no longer around. To save money, they fired all the bodyguards. He had to think twice before doing anything now. He and his mother were two people against more than a dozen on the opposite side. The other party looked aggressive and ready to kill. After much deliberation, Vance had no choice but to contain his anger. “You guys are so annoying!” Vance grumbled under his breath, not daring to speak out loud. He knew that he would be dead if he offended them. “I spent the money to buy things from Philip!”

Vance stared at Jeff, shocked to hear this remark from him. “Jeff, you son of a bitch! How dare you speak to me like that?! You have no right to meddle in the Cod family’s affairs! You’re nothing but a slave!” The more Vance cursed, the happier Jeff felt.… While the Cod family was in chaos, Philip welcomed a mysterious guest, who was none other than Niffler. He went to Comet City, but his trip was ruined because of the beasts. Now that the incident was over, Niffler returned to Cosmo City, but Scarlet was nowhere to be found. He doubted Scarlet chose to run away and blamed everything on the mayor. He had heard some rumors in the past two days about a charming woman by the mayor’s side. Niffler thought the mayor took Scarlet because of her beauty. “Do you want to make a deal with me?” Niffler was dressed in black and stood in a dark corner staring at Philip. Philip was amused by his attempt to look mysterious. When Niffler first flipped over the wall and into the yard,

“You don't have to worry about that. Just let me know if you’re willing to work with me,” Niffler said arrogantly. “Let me think about it.” Philip did not agree immediately. This was risky business. Although Philip was not afraid, he was unwilling to take risks for others. Niffler allowed half a day for Philip to think about it before leaving the store. Philip smiled as Niffler left. He was curious about Niffler.… While Cosmo City was in chaos, Alton made an exciting announcement. He took the initiative to hold a large-scale pill-making contest, seemingly wanting to boost the morale of his citizens. The reward was very impressive. As news spread, Philip heard about it. He was surprised by the reward given by the other party. “Not bad. This guy actually has sunflower seeds.” Philip was amazed. This sunflower was quite extraordinary, not at all like the sunflowers in his original world. This flower was oriented toward the sun, grew only in extremely hot places, and had

With a bright smile on his face, the guard respectfully handed something to Philip. “Mr. Clarke, our mayor wants to invite you to be a judge for the pill-making contest. May I know if you're free?” The guard handed a fancy invitation card to Philip. Philip did not refuse. He wanted to take this opportunity to get to know the alchemists in this world. “Tell your mayor that I agree. I’ll be there on time,” Philip said casually and sent the guard away. The guard nodded solemnly and sneaked a peek inside the store. After confirming that there was nothing for sale, he left in disappointment. The guard wanted to take this opportunity to see if he could buy something, but the shelves were empty. Cosmo City was quite well known. When the pill-making contest was announced, the news spread like wildfire. Almost all the surrounding cities knew about it, and their young and promising alchemists could not wait to go to Cosmo City with their luggage. The sunflower seed was very ent

Everyone gathered in the square, and outsiders stayed comfortably in nearby inns. Alton grinned brightly at the tax records during this time. Outsiders had to spend money on food, clothing, accommodation, and transportation. This event greatly boosted the economy of Cosmo City. Besides that, it gave the Cod family some breathing room while they were on the brink of collapse. While the Cod family took a breather, Alton raked in a fortune. As a judge, Philip visited the venue on the eve of the contest. Just as he got familiar with the venue and was ready to leave, he heard someone grumbling next to him. “Why are these people so excited over this contest? They even forced me to come here so many days in advance!” Philip glanced over curiously upon hearing this childish voice. He saw a very young kid. The kid acted quite maturely, with his hands behind his back as he complained, “It’s just a small contest, nothing worth worrying about. Winning first place is a walk in the p
