Tory crushed the pill and instantly smelled the aroma. He soon realized that the aroma had spread throughout the mayor's residence. Tory quickly set up a barrier to lock the smell within the compound. If the smell spread out, many people would notice it. Maybe some people would guess that he had met Philip. As a smart man, he knew he had to keep this a secret. Philip nodded with satisfaction at Tory’s actions. Indeed, he was not an imbecile. Verifying this pill proved Tory’s trust in Philip. Other than his shock, Tory felt very rueful. He wished he could turn back time. He did not want to crush this pill at all! This pill was absolutely priceless, maybe even worthy enough in exchange for Orbit City. Philip gave it to him so casually and even told him to crush it. It was a waste to ruin this perfect pill instead of using it properly. With a whiff of this aroma, he felt as if his hidden wounds were much better, and his old wounds were healing one after another
Tory felt that Philip was a god from heaven here to save him! It would be great if Philip could supply these things to him, but Tory was worried too. After all, these things seemed very valuable. Even if Philip could supply them, Tory might not be able to afford it. Philip understood Tory's hesitation and knew that Tory wanted to buy pills and weapons from him. He found out some information when he arrived at Orbit City. This continent was a little backward as a whole, but Orbit City’s economic development was quite strong. Facts had proven that the Larson family controlled the money, so Tory could not lay his hands on it even though he was the mayor. Without money, Tory could not develop his force. Practitioners required money to support themselves. Tory could not support so many people with his wages alone. Tory’s mind raced. After catching a whiff of Philip’s pill, he knew that it was no ordinary item. After seeing Philip's indifference, Tory knew that Philip fou
Philip did not have any ordinary weapons on hand, while the pills were made by the kids at home. On the other hand, Aslan was fanatical about various weapons, so he would find a way to store them no matter how many pills the kids made. Aslan rummaged around the weapons and kept one of them. “I usually use this one to pick my teeth.” Aslan chuckled and put all the other weapons in front of Tory. Tory was dumbfounded at the pile of weapons and pills. He thought it would be good enough if he could get a few pills, but Philip gave him so many so casually. It was simply a blessing! Although Tory was excited, he was embarrassed too. “Um, although I’m very interested in these things, I may be a little short on funds. I have 10,000 medium-quality energy stones with me. How many items can I purchase with that amount?” Tory was not very wealthy because most of his money was used to subsidize various military affairs in the city. Even through his efforts, however, it was dif
Since the other party was so uncooperative, Philip would not give them any leeway either. It was Bijou Parlor's loss for not working with Philip. With Aslan’s suggestion, Philip was more enthusiastic about his idea. “Make arrangements for someone to set up the store.” Philip asked Aslan to return to the other world to make arrangements while he returned to the mayor’s residence. He had to discuss this with Tory. Most of the real estate belonged to the Larson family, and only a small portion belonged to the mayor. Philip did not want to go around searching for a suitable spot. Since he had people on hand, why not make good use of them? Tory was still basking in excitement with the weapons and pills on hand when he noticed someone appearing quietly. He immediately went on full alert. As a mayor, he always had to be on guard for assassins. With these treasures on hand now, it was impossible for him to drop his guard. He was relieved when he saw Philip. As one o
Since Philip had his considerations regarding this matter, Tory could rest easy. “Okay, let’s do this. I’ll find a store for you right away and renovate it overnight!” Tory said with a smile. Tory felt very good with Philip’s reassurance. Philip nodded and took out a design drawing, which he had told Aslan to obtain for him. Due to the large time difference between the two worlds, only a short time had passed here even though Aslan had been away for a while. Tory was surprised to see the drawing. He stroked the paper gently, trying to hide his shock. This paper was miles apart from the ones he usually came into contact with. They only used parchment here, so the paper given by Philip was like a work of art. A thin layer of paper could contain so many drawings. It felt different to the touch. It was much more high-end than parchment. He glanced discreetly at Philip, trying to contain his shocked trembling. Philip did not notice Tory’s reaction. He had not seen the
Shadow was surprised to receive the pill and weapon. Tory trusted Philip wholeheartedly, so he took the enhancement pill right in front of Shadow. As Tory's personal bodyguard, Shadow was very loyal and immediately followed suit. They looked thoughtful as they marveled at the miraculous effect of the pills. Since it was their first time taking this pill and coupled with the good effects, their levels increased by a stage. As top experts, it was very difficult for them to improve their level, but one pill did that. How amazing was that? Shadow knelt to Tory in trepidation. “Thank you for your bestowment, Mayor!” He was a smart man and knew how valuable this pill was. As someone close to Tory, he was even more aware that Tory was almost broke. Tory must have spent a huge fortune to the point of bankruptcy to get these things. Tory helped Shadow up without comment. The two quickly discussed the next steps, and Shadow was tasked to distribute the items. It was t
Aslan felt a sense of crisis, but he had stopped growing at his age. He could only hope that the boy would not surpass him. As a monster beast, he was full of fighting spirit. Philip ignored their weird thoughts and took everyone to the Guzo Continent. They instantly felt the abundant energy upon entering this land, but Noelle and the others thought it was not as comfortable as the villa. The energy at the villa was more intense. More importantly, the energy had been purified and was of the highest quality. With every breath, they could absorb the energy without processing it further. Unlike the energy here, they had to convert the energy before absorbing it. Hence, they preferred the energy at the villa. Philip went home for a while, so it was already early the next morning when they returned. Philip led them out one after another. He had bought some local clothes for the kids to avoid any misunderstanding. After all, the kids had a separate mission. He did not wan
“Not bad. They almost replicated the design perfectly. I had doubts about the expertise of these people before this!” Aslan praised, amazed at Tory’s reliability. More importantly, they saw a huge backyard with several rooms, obviously accommodation quarters for them. At this moment, Philip bumped into Tory who was here to supervise the work. The workers told him that the renovation had been completed, so he rushed over. Seeing that it would be dawn in two or three hours, Tory felt extremely nervous. This was a major action of great importance. He could not allow any mishap to occur. Tory and Philip smiled at each other with a hint of appreciation. Philip liked efficient people. “I designed the backyard area for you in particular. I heard that you’ve been staying at that inn on the outskirts of the city. That place is very messy, and the location is quite inconvenient. "If you go there in the strange attire everyone has been talking about, you’ll be identified easily,
“Wow, I feel so good as if I just had a massage.” Jeff praised Philip in his mind. After taking the pill, he recovered instantly. Even the ailments he had been suffering from in the past were healed. He was in such good shape that he could face Hogster with no problem. He even felt that he could resist Hogster’s attack this time. Philip nodded. Jeff was quite good. He had thought that Jeff was already defeated and would not even be able to move. However, Jeff forced himself to take out a pill and swallowed it. “He’s quite good at persevering and has a bright future. You can consider grooming him,” Philip said to Jamie. Jamie was surprised to hear such a high assessment from Philip. Jamie attached great importance to Philip's suggestion. Since Philip said so, he would develop Jeff properly. “Aren’t you very full of yourself? Keep going.” Jeff rushed forward and started beating Hogster up. Hogster was already dying and could not put up a fight at all. “Stop!” Hogste
The Hexa Guild had lost the earlier match, so Hogster was upset about it. Their guild should be undefeatable. They should have made a name for themselves by now, but everything was ruined. Although Hogster did not know why the Celestial Palace was so powerful, he had a feeling that they were cheating. “I’m the pride of the Hexa Guild while you’re just an ordinary member. Don't even think about resisting me,” Hogster said calmly, clearly looking down on Jeff. Of course, Jeff was not to be outdone. “My favorite hobby is to beat someone while they're down. Your guild's reputation is so bad anyway. Why bother holding on to it?” His remark struck the Hexa Guild’s sore spot, and all the members scowled at him. Indeed, the Hexa Guild had a very bad reputation. They could only recruit ordinary people who could not join other guilds but yearned to practice. “Hehe, cut the crap. We’ll know the outcome after a fight!” After saying this, Hogster charged at Jeff with a weapon in han
It would do the Hexa Guild no good to keep Vanna alive, so they would not allow it to happen. Although the members of the Hexa Guild were angry, they quickly cheered up. There would be several matches with the Celestial Palace to go. They could not lose their fighting spirit because of this trivial matter. “Let’s see how powerful the Celestial Palace is. I refuse to believe that we’re no match for them.” Hogster decided to take the stage because the upcoming opponent was just an ordinary member of the Celestial Palace. They were not very strong. In his opinion, an ordinary member could not be very strong. It would be easy to win this match, and it would save him a lot of trouble too. It would be bad if he faced a dark horse like the previous match. The hooded man saw the performance of the Celestial Palace and was surprised by their extraordinary strength. However, he did not notice anything unusual. He simply thought that it was their usual strength. Since they were so str
“This is interesting.” The hooded man glanced at the people discussing this matter and felt expectant. He could not wait to meet Philip. On the other hand, Philip was watching the competition and had no idea what was going on. “Oh, I see, you’re the young lady of the Celestial Palace. I thought you were very powerful, but this is all there is to you.” Vanna’s opponent was an ugly woman who was very upset with her beautiful appearance. Vanna looked at her mockingly. “The outcome has yet to be determined. I don’t think you’re any better either.” After saying this, Vanna looked at the other party, waiting for her to make the first move. The ugly woman was furious at Vanna’s provocation. “Very well. Since you don’t know what’s good for you, let me show you what I’m capable of!” After saying this, she attacked Vanna as if she were ready to get rid of her. She had received an order from the guild leader to deal with Vanna properly. The Hexa Guild had initially planned to qu
The Hexa Guild also claimed that they would kill anyone from the Celestial Palace. Although upset, no one dared to say anything in the face of the other party’s strength. It would be embarrassing if they could not live up to their claims if they retorted now. Moreover, the battle was a matter of life and death. Everyone was risking their lives. The Celestial Palace had the confidence to face the Hexa Guild now. They believed that they could turn the situation around with their strength or at least show them what they could do. There would be a battle between the two parties in the afternoon, which was the best time to show off their strength. The young lady of the Celestial Palace would be the one contending. After improving her strength, Vanna was full of confidence and vowed to give her opponent a fatal blow or at least let them know how powerful she was. Ronan was nervous. He was not worried about his wife but worried that the Hexa Guild would take things too far. Those
It could be considered returning the favor. Jamie shook his head helplessly. He knew Philip’s kind intentions, but this matter was not so simple. “I know that your wine can improve someone’s strength, but it’s no help to us right now!” The overall strength of the Hexa Guild had increased so much that it went beyond anyone’s comprehension. Carlos turned up at this time. He wanted to talk to Philip about this matter, but Jamie beat him to it. “My friends just told me that the Hexa Guild is hellbent on dealing with everyone, not only us. Anyone up against them will be killed. They must be insane to face any guilds without fear!” Philip was intrigued. They could not be so confident for no reason. They must have encountered an opportunity. “Maybe they encountered an opportunity. I can't be sure about this, but I can at least provide you something to ensure that nothing happens to your people.” After saying this, Philip handed Jamie some pills. Philip was very confident about
It was very suspicious that a bunch of losers became so strong all of a sudden. “Philip, don’t you think something is wrong? I have a feeling that the Hexa Guild did something,” Jamie asked bluntly with mixed feelings about it. There was clearly something wrong with the Hexa Guild. Philip nodded. He had been watching the competition carefully. He could see that these people’s strength had just been improved, and their foundation was not very stable. “Don't think too much. There is a problem with them, and it’s not small either. From the looks of it, they must've taken something that can quickly improve their strength. However, their skills and combat experience can't keep up, so they can only barely manage it.” Philip shook his head helplessly. At this rate, even the members of the Celestial Palace would suffer. Moreover, the Hexa Guild held a big grudge against the Celestial Palace. Once they met, it would definitely be a life-and-death battle. “What should we do? All th
“You should prepare for the competition.” Philip turned and left after saying that. Everyone felt angry at his domineering appearance. Some people had ideas about Philip. “Which guild does Philip belong to?” a man with a sinister face asked angrily. He wanted to know which guild Philip belonged to so that he could go all out to target Philip's guild. Others shook their heads. No one knew much about Philip. At this time, a spy from the Hexa Guild stepped forward. He looked at the man flatteringly and provided all the information he knew. “Philip doesn't belong to any guild, but he’s an honorary elder of the Celestial Palace!” The fact that Philip became an honorary elder of the Celestial Palace had not been made public. Only people keeping a close eye on the Celestial Palace knew about it. The Hexa Guild had always wanted to deal with the Celestial Palace, so they had been keeping a close eye on the latter. They knew all the minor details. The man scowled as if he did
“I can explore the secret realm on your behalf, but why do you think she’d appear there?” Although Philip could not figure it out, maybe the old monk had his reason for saying that. “I’ll explore the secret realm after the guild competition is over. If I can find the woman you’re looking for, I’ll think of a way.” In fact, Philip would rather take the old monk with him. He did not know what the woman looked like, so it was better for the old monk to do it himself. “Sure!” The old monk smiled brightly, surprised that Philip would agree so decisively. The secret realm was full of dangers. He knew that he should not let others take risks for him, but Philip did not ask any questions and even agreed to his request without any hesitation. “I’ll think about it and see if I can find a way to bring you in,” Philip said off-handedly. He still preferred to bring the old monk with him. The old monk was dumbfounded and thought he had heard it wrongly. “What?” The old monk gaped at
