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
Everyone was tempted to stop and look at the window in front. “Why is it called Treasure House? Is it a copy of Bijou Parlor?” “I don’t think so. Maybe they just sell the same things.” “Hehe, how could anyone else sell those things? You should know how difficult it is to find those pills and weapons in this world!” No one believed in the authenticity of Treasure House, so they placed bets and decided to enter the store to take a look. As soon as they entered Treasure House, they saw various pills and weapons. However, unlike Bijou Parlor where herbal fragrance filled the store, the smell here was almost non-existent. “I don’t think this place can make it. There are no beautiful attendants at the door, and there's no pill aroma!” A man with a potbelly waved his fan unhappily, already looking down on this place. As a man who appreciated beauty, he valued beautiful attendants. A feast for the eyes was enough to satisfy him. “I've had enough of the shrew at home, so I w
No one dared to compete with Bijou Parlor. This force that had operated for many years all across major cities was not to be trifled with. Rover arrived at Treasure House and glared at the onlookers in disdain. “Why are you so excited over a newly opened store?” A man next to Rover heard his question. He glanced at him and did not recognize Rover. Since they did not know each other, he could speak his mind. “What do you know? The person in charge of Treasure House is very beautiful! I’ve never seen such a beautiful woman in Orbit City!” Rover felt disdainful of the man’s ignorant remarks. In Rover's opinion, Scarlet was the most beautiful woman in the whole continent. Seeing the fanatic looks of these people, Rover decided to squeeze in and take a look. He pushed through the crowd and entered Treasure House. Noelle did not expect that she would cause such a big sensation. More importantly, these people were not interested in the products sold at Treasure House at
Although the pills on display did not exude any aroma, the customers trusted Noelle for some reason. They felt that Noelle only sold the best pills. “How much would this pill cost at Bijou Parlor?” Noelle asked everyone curiously. They quickly replied, “An average pill would cost 300 energy stones. Better ones will be even more expensive!” “Besides, I think the pills they have that cost hundreds of energy stones can’t hold a candle to the one you have!” “Is the pill you have in your hand worth at least a thousand energy stones? No, probably more than that. I think you can put it up for auction!” Noelle nodded upon hearing the comments. It seemed that these defective pills were very valuable! Philip listened calmly on the side. He knew that his pills would be highly sought after but not to this extent. Were the pills sold here really that bad? Philip shook his head and vanished from the spot. As Philip suspected, Orbit City was relatively remote, making it diffic
Rover had achieved his goal. He just had to wait until midnight to meet Philip. No customers visited Bijou Parlor because they were about to go broke. Usually, many people would hang out in Bijou Parlor even if they did not buy anything. It was not only to look at beautiful women but also to increase their knowledge and catch a whiff of pill aroma. However, no one entered the store today. Everyone thought it was a little weird. Scarlet stood at the door, looking out anxiously. Scarlet would normally never stay at the main hall, but the situation today was so unusual that Scarlet was forced to remain at the main hall to solicit customers. Scarlet was puzzled to see everyone hurrying in one direction. She grabbed a passerby and asked curiously, “Where are you going? Is there a great bargain happening over there?” Scarlet's attitude was very bad, making it clear that she was unhappy. The man she stopped was one of her regular customers, but he was hurrying somewhere
The pills sold by Bijou Parlor were usually worth 300 or 400 energy stones. Even a wealthy customer like Figo Larson would only buy a pill worth about 300 energy stones. How could those misers spend so much money to buy an ordinary pill? Scarlet could not figure it out. “Stop bragging. As far as I know, only Bijou Parlor in Imperial City can come up with this! A newly opened store in Orbit City can’t have this!” Scarlet refused to believe Rover and reached out for the pill. She did not believe that someone would spend their life savings to buy a pill. They were not the young sirs of the Larson family. How could they have so much money? Of course, price gouging was not an uncommon practice in this world. Some people would buy pills at a low price and sell them somewhere else to earn the difference. Some people were unable to buy pills while others were able to buy them but were unable to use them due to financial circumstances. As a result, many proxy-buying indust
With that idea in mind, Scarlet ordered Rover to buy all the pills he could. “Not only the pills but keep a lookout for other things in the store too. Just try to buy anything you can find if you have enough money.” Scarlet opened the cash register and gave Rover a large pile of energy stones. Rover was very excited with the money in his hands. Shopping was his favorite activity. Although it was very crowded and everyone was in a buying frenzy, Rover enjoyed the atmosphere very much. “Don’t worry, I’ll get it done for you.” Rover vanished from the spot. Other than pills, he knew there were weapons for sale too. The number of pills was very limited, so he could forget about getting any good ones if he went there now, but weapons were different. Since Noelle did not introduce the weapons just now, no one held any expectations for them. Although Rover did not think much about them either, they were the new products in the store too. Since there were only two types
Only Philip had the ability to earn everyone’s money so easily. Until the end, many people put together any remaining energy stones they had to make a purchase. They really made the effort to buy something. As soon as someone bought something, someone else would buy it for a higher price. Some people knew that they could not keep a treasure for long and chose to get rid of it. Noelle saw it but did not care. Since the customer had bought it, what they did with it was none of their business. Seeing the empty display counters, Noelle felt very satisfied. “Our products have been sold out. You can return in two days.” Everyone left under Noelle’s urging. Rover returned to Bijou Parlor as fast as lightning. After seeing Scarlet, he wiped the table and carefully placed the weapons on top of it. Amid her anticipation, Scarlet scowled at the sight of Rover’s actions. Scarlet was not happy that Rover held the things sold by Treasure House in such high regard. She felt un
