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
The pills given by Philip were so amazing that Elmer could not afford to get angry even if he wanted to. “Patriarch, have you gone mad?” Lilian was so angry that she had forgotten her position. If Elmer did not seek justice on her behalf, she had to forget about this vengeance. Before Elmer could criticize Lilian, the host announced that the auction had begun. This auction was very different from others. They did not even have a list of items. No one knew what would happen next. It was a mysterious auction, indeed. Everyone sat in confusion, staring at the host on the stage eagerly. It was quite bizarre for the Harrod family to organize an auction like this. “Say, you don’t even have an auction list for us. What are we supposed to expect?” someone in the crowd finally complained. They felt the Harrod family was too hasty in holding this auction, and the fees incurred were not low. Everyone felt very unhappy after spending a huge sum of money to attend such a useless
The onlookers were not stupid and knew that the changes happened after they smelled the herbal fragrance. After everyone realized the pill's effect, Elmer kept the pill in a bottle. He looked at everyone smugly as if he could not wait to brag about it. Everyone scowled, feeling that he was up to no good. When Elmer put away the pill, they immediately felt everything returning to normal. The ability to automatically absorb the surrounding energy was gone. The energy recovery also stopped. They had returned to a state of energy deprivation. Feeling the changes in their bodies, everyone seemed troubled. “Patriarch Harrod, can you show us the pill again?” someone suggested. Everyone looked at Elmer expectantly. They wanted to smell the pill again as they were amazed by its effects. Just a whiff could produce such changes in their bodies. What would happen if they ate it? “Did you show us this pill because it’s for sale? If that’s the case, I'm willing to pay a pre
Everyone stared at Elmer eagerly. They could not wait to get their hands on the pill. “Stop talking and get on with the auction!” “That’s right. Hurry up and state the price. I’ll buy it no matter how much it costs!” Everyone knew this thing could save their lives and would buy it no matter how expensive it was. However, it was not that easy to get it with so many forces around. “We've prepared five different types of pills with two pills each,” the host announced calmly, but he was panicking inwardly. He had no idea that the patriarch would be auctioning such a precious pill. As a member of the Harrod family, he did not know that the patriarch had such a treasure. He wondered why the pill was put up for auction instead of using it within the family, but someone in his position had no right to ask questions. He could only do the job assigned to him. Hearing that there were two pills of each kind up for auction, everyone became excited. Everyone smiled brightly and
The two energy replenishment pills were quickly sold at very high prices. Philip looked at the list and saw that one of the buyers was the Pill Guild. The Pill Guild was indeed very wealthy to spend so many emerald stones to buy an ordinary pill. Other pills with different effects were also auctioned off one after another, seemingly very popular with the crowd. Philip only accepted emerald stones for this auction, and some hoarders clearly gained the upper hand. Those who did not prepare enough emerald stones were very regretful. Surprisingly, the Pill Guild managed to get five pills, accounting for half of the total. They were very wealthy, indeed. Other guilds had to think twice about spending so much money, but not the Pill Guild. They bought one of each type and left the remaining for the others to fight over. After the auction, Philip got his wish and received a lot of money. The auction ended, but no one left. They wanted to get to know Philip. Everyone kn
Philip made it very clear, and everyone frowned. If the Pill Guild had not interrupted, the others would have forgotten their extreme move of buying five pills. “Hehe, the Pill Guild is quite over the top!” “They kept saying that we should oppose this, but they bought five pills under our noses!” Everyone’s taunts sounded very harsh in the ears of an elder of the Pill Guild. He threw up blood and fell to the ground. Philip went too far. The members of the Pill Guild turned their heads away at the harsh criticisms. Although it was not to the extent that they would throw up blood in anger, they were members of the Pill Guild, after all. They would be uneasy if the Pill Guild came under scrutiny. However, that was indeed the case. They had taken half of the pills, leaving no options for the other families. Nonetheless, the families did not dare to criticize the Pill Guild either. They knew that such pills were far and few between. They still had to rely on the Pill
Maurice’s anger was quickly replaced by a bright smile. He knew that Philip could not escape his clutches. Philip noticed his rapid change of expression and felt exasperated. This guy had to be out of his mind. Philip knew exactly what Maurice was thinking. Since he had the guts for it, Philip had nothing to fear either. “I know you’re making preparations to enter the secular world. In that case, let us meet there.” Philip waved to everyone and turned around to leave. Then, he noticed a woman staring at him. This woman's eyes were full of anger as if she wanted to rip him into pieces. Philip frowned in confusion. He did not recognize this woman with average looks. As Philip turned to leave, everyone pondered over his words. They were practitioners of high status. They left the Harrod family's compound in a flash without any hesitation. Now that Philip had promised to start selling his pills, they had to raise money quickly. Everyone wanted to buy his pills.
