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,
Tory marveled at this scene. Noelle and Aslan were probably stronger than Shadow, but Tory did not notice any energy fluctuation from them at all. Either the technique they practiced was very powerful or they had a unique method to conceal their strength. Either possibility would be highly sought after on this continent, not to mention the other distant continent. He had no intention of exposing them but merely took note of it. All the more Tory felt that Philip was a very powerful person. With this secret technique, even a weak person could conceal their strength from powerful people. When something was unknown, the other party would become doubtful. People would guess whether this person was weak or strong. In a nutshell, it depended on whether this person could fool others. Aslan and Noelle were so powerful, but they still took orders from Philip, which proved that Philip was definitely extraordinary. Tory said to Philip, “If you start your business tomorrow, I
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
“The truth is that I have a favor to ask of you, but I’m afraid of overstepping the line, so…” The old monk knew that his action was inappropriate, so he was conflicted and wondered how he should ask for Philip’s help. Philip was interested upon hearing that the old monk needed a favor. He wanted to know what stumped him. With his strength and status, the old monk should be omnipotent. “Feel free to speak your mind. If I can handle it, I don’t mind lending a helping hand.” Philip would not help for no reason. If the other party was willing to pay the price, he would not refuse. The old monk was excited to hear Philip’s agreement. “I have the location of a secret realm. I tried to enter it once, but the secret realm told me that I couldn’t enter it,” the old monk said with regret. “There should be a lot of good things in this secret realm, so I’m very disappointed that I can't enter and explore it. I was told that only people from other worlds could enter this secret realm.
“Since that’s your request, I’ll oblige.” Philip flew up the stage and quickly landed next to the old monk. Everyone was jealous to see Philip forging a connection with the old monk. Many people at the scene recognized Philip and knew who he was. “Look, isn't that Philip? I can’t believe that the old monk is so interested in Philip. It seems that we can’t take Philip lightly.” “I always thought Philip was a loser, but maybe I’m mistaken.” “He’s on very good terms with the Celestial Palace. Why would you think he was a loser?” Everyone discussed this topic with great interest. Carlos was quite close to Philip, so he felt proud to hear those comments. He knew that everyone was just jealous of Philip. The old monk stretched out his hand and invited Philip to go to his room. Philip nodded at his indication. “You look like a newcomer. Sure enough, the younger generation is taking over the world. For someone at your age to reach this level, you’re certainly a force to be
No one had ever seen the old monk, so they did not know what he was like. Philip and his party soon arrived at Zenith, which looked very grand just like a palace. The large arena in the middle was crowded with people. Everyone was looking at the stage, waiting to pay homage to this legendary old monk. Some people had seen the old monk and heard his lecture in the past. They felt that they had benefited from it, so they arrived early this time to grab a good spot. Others had never seen the old monk, but they knew they would benefit from his lecture about practice. Philip and Carlos squeezed into the middle of the crowd and found seats. Philip was very curious about the old monk and could not wait to see him. Soon, the old monk appeared in front of everyone. He looked very impressive. Seeing his attire, Philip felt that this old man was definitely not an ordinary person. His clothes were very expensive, not something anyone could afford. It was not only in reference to the pr
Rabbit was attacked by the spell before he could react. He stood on the spot blankly, wondering what was going on. Rabbit tried to move when he felt that something was wrong with him. He seemed to have lost control of his body and could not move. “You have no say in this matter. Since you left with me, it means that you've agreed to follow me.” The hooded man was calm. He did not think that Rabbit could escape his clutches easily. After all, the piece of yellow paper was not an ordinary item. He had gone to great lengths to get it. He could control the rabbit’s mind and body fearlessly with that piece of yellow paper. Over time, the rabbit would eventually become his puppet. The hooded man was very excited to think that he would have a powerful helper. Rabbit lost his senses and had no idea what happened. Subconsciously, Rabbit wanted to resist, but he could not for some reason. He could only stand and wait for orders. “Hey, bring me a glass of water,” the hooded man said
“I sense a familiar vibe from you. Where are you from?” Rabbit asked curiously. He had a feeling that this man did not belong to this world. He felt familiar. The man stared at Rabbit while thinking about how to take it away. “I have many secrets. Do you want to know more? Come with me, then. I can give you a good life and help you quickly level up. You can become the best rabbit in existence and stand at the top of this world!” Rabbit hopped over and nodded excitedly. He knew that this person was mysterious and weird, so he wanted to find out more. The hooded man was shocked that this rabbit was dumb enough to leave with him. However, he did not reveal his smugness and just held the rabbit in his arms devoutly. He never thought that he could have such a powerful pet. Thinking of this, he decided to do something to make this rabbit his own. This rabbit had developed intelligence, so it would not agree to become his pet so easily. Rabbit was just leaving with him, but being
