Elmer still felt resentful over Philip's refusal to join him, but he knew that his future was over if he offended Philip today. Philip could make all sorts of pills. If Philip came up with something good but Elmer lost the right to buy it, he would be doomed. Philip's words enlightened Elmer. Although Elmer was a reckless man who did not use his brains, he was quite good at sizing up the situation sometimes. Maurice was hoping to see a conflict between Elmer and Philip, but in the next second, Elmer treated Philip with respect instead. Maurice was puzzled and felt it was unfair. Instead of attacking Philip, Elmer treated Philip like he was a distinguished guest. Even as a leader of a guild with an honorable status, Elmer had never treated him that way. How could Elmer do that to Philip? Was this how a family head should behave? Maurice was very unhappy to see that Elmer had returned to his senses. He scowled as he tried to plan his next move. He was not sincere ab
As Maurice fled with his tail tucked between his legs, Elmer smiled triumphantly. Although he was not the cause of it, Elmer did not lose either. “This is the Harrod family's communication token!” Elmer also handed over his family's green token, which Philip accepted. He hoped that more people would do business with him so that not only could he make more money but control various forces as well. “I think you’re a good person. In that case, I’ll hand an important task to you,” Philip said with a smile. He could not create a name for himself on his own. Since the Harrod family wanted to please him, he could make good use of them. “I want to hold a pill auction and appraisal in two days, and I want to leave everything to you. I want everyone in the reclusive world to know about my pills.” Philip gazed at Elmer searingly. He knew that this was not difficult for Elmer. Elmer raised his eyebrows at Philip's words, surprised to learn his wild ambitions. He actually wanted
The Pill Guild knew all about Philip’s pills, so they would never miss such a good opportunity. Hence, they shared the same idea. They wanted to sign up at the last minute so that there would be fewer competitors. Very soon, it was the final hour to purchase tickets. Only a few small families bought tickets. Although some large families had a good relationship with the Harrod family, no one took action. These families sent scouts to the Harrod family to understand the situation, and the answers they received were surprisingly consistent. They were told to attend the auction. Who would accept this response? The Harrod family had never held an auction before. How would they know what to do? Due to everyone's distrust, the Harrod family sold very few tickets so far. At the last moment, the Pill Guild signed up. They arranged for some members to purchase the tickets secretly, but the news still leaked. Of course, it was all thanks to the Harrod family. The Harro
Philip had no idea about the Pill Guild’s wild thoughts. After all, he had never come into contact with a pill from the Pill Guild before. Of course, he would be shocked if he did. How could such rubbish exist in this world, and why would anyone rush to buy them? Although ironic, it was true. As a victim who had bought some pills from the Pill Guild before, Fennel felt aggrieved. If he had known that Philip could make such powerful pills, he would have come back earlier. He was also very jealous of the weapons Philip owned. All of the weapons Philip owned were of the highest quality. Although they looked very ordinary like those wielded by commoners, one would realize the power of these weapons during a fight. It would be great if he had such an inconspicuous but substantial weapon. Fennel glanced at his storage ring, suddenly displeased by the sight of his elegant halberd. Who made this halberd so bright and colorful? This weapon looked very domineering at first
In desperation, they could only buy time. When they were about to lose control, Philip appeared. Elmer breathed a sigh of relief and felt as if he had seen hope in Philip. He would be doomed if Philip played him out. Not only would he offend these families, but he would also generate many enemies. Even if he was the head of the Harrod family, he could not afford to mess with these people. Philip noticed Elmer’s anxiety but remained unfazed as if everything was under his control. He smiled brightly and waved at Elmer. “Don’t worry, I’ve made all the arrangements.” Philip took out ten pills from his pocket. There were two pills each of five different varieties. “These are the items for auction. The instructions for the use and effects of the pills are stated on them. You can have a look at them. After the auction, I’ll reward you with some pills too.” Philip grabbed two chairs from the side and leisurely sat down with Fennel. Elmer was very happy. He knew how wonder
Lilian was full of anticipation and could already picture the sight of Philip’s death in her mind. Denzel was embarrassed while Paco said nothing, ignoring Lilian. Lilian scowled at them and asked warily, “What do you mean by this?” Denzel glanced at Paco but found Paco looking away. Denzel cursed him inwardly for his treachery. Seeing his sister's curiosity, Denzel sighed and decided to tell her the whole story. “We didn’t kill Philip. We have great use for him.” He did not think he could kill Philip. He had to rely on Paco for that. If Paco was unwilling to take action, Denzel could not kill Philip even if he wanted to. Although he had always been very confident in himself, he had to be cautious in this situation. If Philip used his pills to entice others, Denzel believed that even Paco would kill Denzel for Philip's pills! How could he take the chance? Lilian almost went mad with anger at Denzel’s words. How could this guy be such an idiot? “You’re such a l
Paco had no feelings for Lilian, who was arrogant and domineering. She even asked him to bring his monster beasts to join the Harrod family. Paco had given up his last shred of compassion for Lilian. He would not have kept in touch with Lilian if not for his useless son. Now that his son was dead, he wanted to cut off all ties. If Philip’s resources had not caught his attention, he would have left already. He had no intention of taking revenge for his useless son at all. Terence did not inherit any monster beast genes and looked more human, which displeased Paco. Terence could not even transform into a monster beast, which showed how useless he was. If Terence had the bloodline of a monster beast, his practice speed would have been astonishingly fast. He would have been able to level up to such an extent that no one could touch him. However, he was no good and simply an embarrassment to Paco. Paco could not hold his head high with this son. Now that Terence was dead
Due to her lowly status, many other guilds did not treat Lilian well either. Lilian felt inferior enough because of that. Unexpectedly, Philip treated her the same way. Was she such a pushover that everyone could take advantage of? Lilian’s expression changed rapidly. She was too angry for words. Philip saw her face so clearly that he thought his eyes were playing tricks on him. “Wow, this woman’s face can change color!” Philip joked. It was his first time seeing such animated expressions on a woman’s face. Lilian’s face had flushed so red that it almost turned purple. “You killed my son. I have to settle the score with you,” Lilian said through gritted teeth, wishing she could kill Philip. Philip looked unfamiliar, so he was probably not from a big guild. Lilian believed that he should not know about her status in the Harrod family. As a member of the Harrod family, she could use this fact to threaten Philip. Philip knew she was here for revenge but had no idea
