Dickens popped the pill without hesitation with hopes that it could alleviate his condition. However, he was surprised to find no changes in the pain. “Play with fire and you’ll get burned one day. After all the harm you did, did you think you could get a good pill?” Philip waved the pill in his hand. He had swapped the pill with chocolate when Dickens took it out. No one in this world had eaten chocolate before. Dickens’ face lit up when he ate the chocolate, surprised that the pill made by Philip was so delicious. However, the delicious taste made no difference to the pain he felt. Dickens quickly realized that he could not afford to offend Philip. Philip was a menace! Dickens endured the pain and staggered up. After lowering his head to Philip humbly, he hobbled away. He had to complete the task and compensate for all the money within three days. He had some savings at home. If it was not enough, he would have to sell off his family property. Where there was
Kade was very jealous that Alton had such a strong successor. He was very unhappy because he had no heirs at his age. Therefore, he set his sights on Alton and Cosmo. Since they were rivals, Kade could not let Alton enjoy something he did not have. He found someone to concoct some poison to harm Cosmo. However, Cosmo was lucky enough to evade his attack every time. In the end, he was so angry that he took matters into his own hands. He mixed the poison and found someone to coax Cosmo into taking it. Although Cosmo was powerful and quite mature mentally, he was still a young boy and easily deceived. He fell for the trick and consumed the poison. Since then, Cosmo had fallen into a coma with no signs of waking up. As time passed, Cosmo's vital signs became weaker and weaker. To bask in his achievements, Kade found someone to monitor Cosmo's and Alton's every move. It was not easy to monitor Alton, who was elusive and difficult to track. Cosmo, on the other hand,
Niffler was an efficient subordinate and roughly found out Oz’s destination before he met Kade. “They're heading northwest, and there’s only one destination in that direction, a place called Orbit City. They're either heading to that city or into Guzo Forest, which is even more dangerous.” Niffler smiled. As an excellent intelligence officer, he knew all about Guzo Forest. Kade was puzzled. He did not know anything about Guzo Forest. “It should be quite safe in Guzo Forest. As long as they don’t enter the depths, a few hunters can protect them.” As a mayor, Kade knew that hunters could take up random missions. If they could find some hunters, they would be relatively safe as long as they could afford the reward. Niffler shook his head in response and said, “It’s not that simple. Guzo Forest has changed recently. According to reports from my scouts, Guzo Forest is unusually restless, and the beasts have become much stronger. “More importantly, there are signs of them inv
These people had never bought anything from Treasure House before, but they bumped into someone selling pills from Treasure House when they were leaving the city. They bought one out of curiosity but soon forgot about it. They did not know the exact price of the pill, but it seemed cheaper than the pills sold in Bijou Parlor. After they entered the forest, they soon encountered many raging beasts. The beasts were very aggressive and wanted to tear them apart. As hunters, they knew that they should not be hurt if they did not provoke the beasts. A well-fed beast would not mess with humans for no reason. However, things were different now. The beasts were very ferocious and wanted to attack them. This team was careless and fell under the attack. They worked together and finally subdued these beasts, but a man suddenly popped up out of nowhere. He looked a little strange, quite similar to the beasts. The team was surprised and thought that he was a monster beast that had taken
New orders were quickly issued for hunters to find out what was happening in Guzo Forest. The hunters were apprehensive about this mission. They knew no one wanted to go to that dreadful place again. The team of five inquired about the location of Treasure House and headed there in their miserable state. Dos’ injury was quite serious, but they could only save Tres, who was on the verge of death with the only pill they had. “It's okay. At worst, I can play the support role at home and wait for your return!” Dos said playfully, hoping that his teammates would stop worrying about him. The girl started sobbing. No one wanted to see their teammate hurt. When they arrived at Treasure House and joined the queue, Philip recognized their captain at a glance. “Are you not…” Philip was about to call his name when the man covered Philip's mouth. “We no longer call each other by our names. We're all known by our code names instead. I’m Uno, and these are my teammates.” Uno nervo
Although it felt like a forced transaction, Philip believed that his pill would bring surprises to the middle-aged man.… At the inn, Alton felt very sorry at the sight of his son. After the long journey, Cosmo looked very pale as if he might die at any time. The doctor had said that time was running out for him, but now, it seemed that his life span had been shortened by at least half. Oz looked at Cosmo in distress with tears welling in his eyes. He was very close with Cosmo, so he was heartbroken about his plight. He wished he could take Cosmo’s place. “It’d be great if I could go through the suffering on his behalf,” Oz said from the bottom of his heart. Alton sighed. There was no point in talking about it now. The pill was the only hope for saving his son. “Everything depends on this pill now. It’d be great if the store is telling the truth about the pill's effects.” Without any hesitation, Alton stuffed the pill into his son's mouth and wanted to help him swallow it.
Although the previous incident where Philip used a pill to save someone was quite amazing, it was not enough to convince Alton. Cosmo’s condition was different. A pill might be able to save an injured person but not necessarily his son. Reality proved him wrong. This pill was omnipotent and could handle any situation perfectly. Alton decided to bring his son to Treasure House. “Let’s go and thank the owner!” Alton said happily. Cosmo did not refuse. His upbringing taught him to repay kindness in kind. Although this incident sounded like a sales transaction, he knew that the owner of Treasure House was his savior. When they arrived, Treasure House was about to close for the day. The customers who did not manage to buy any pills were reluctant to leave. “Young lady, wait! Don’t close the door yet!” Alton anxiously rushed to stop Noelle and Aslan from closing the store. “Wait, I have something very important to say to you!” Noelle was puzzled. She remembered this man
“Is that really okay? We're from the countryside. It’s not appropriate for us to live in such a luxurious store!” They had to consider whether their actions would implicate others. The enemy would probably find them easily if they stayed in an inn. The probability of being discovered would be greatly reduced if they stayed in a private property like this. They were tempted by the offer but were also worried that it would bring trouble to Philip. “Don’t worry. No one can mess with me. I'm also curious what a man who looks like a beast is like.” The girl’s vivid description piqued Philip’s interest. “That guy is indescribably ugly!” The girl shuddered at the mention of the grotesque monster. She had never seen such an ugly thing before. While they were chatting, Alton walked in with the other two people. He did not expect to see Philip with guests. “Hello, we met this afternoon,” Alton greeted Philip. “I remember you. How may I help you?” Philip wondered. He could tel
“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for attending the lark family’s grand ceremony of the century,” a man announced in the middle of the square, and the bride stood next to him with a happy smile on her face. If Adam was present, he would definitely recognize the bride as the woman he had been dreaming of over the years, Ashley Bay. A handsome man stood next to the bride. His every move was imposing and domineering. They looked like the perfect match. Everyone looked at this scene and blessed them happily. “After a series of careful selection, I finally found the most suitable husband for my daughter. This is an important event for the lark people!” The lark people had a high status, and everyone wanted to marry into this family. After many selections, the bridegroom finally won the bride’s hand in marriage. Over the years, countless men had flocked around Ashley. After observations from all aspects, this man fit all the criteria—so much so that Adam had long been forgotten.
“This boot records various information about the lark people that may be very important to you. I believe you’ll understand after reading it.” After saying this, Renee handed the boot to Adam. She was not a fool. She knew that Philip was not the person initiating the search. Although Adam always remained calm, he could not hide his eagerness at all. Adam looked at Renee gratefully and took the book and started reading it without further ado. The more he read, the more shocked he felt. In the end, he was full of disbelief as if he could not believe what he saw. “Is this for real?” Adam finished reading the boot quickly and handed it to Philip and Carlos. The other two flipped through the book curiously. Philip scowled. He could not tell whether the information was true or false. “Is it true that the lark people have such an ability? It's recorded in the book that they can create a world. That’s simply…” Carlos was puzzled. Only a very powerful being could create a world. Was
“Please tell me how to find them. I want to find out what’s going on, even if it's just to convince myself to give up.” Adam decided that he still wanted to find the other party. No matter what, he had to get to the bottom of it. If everything was a lost cause, he would give up. Hearing that, Renee seemed conflicted as if deciding whether to tell them everything. “It doesn’t do me any good to tell you this. Why should I take the risk for no reason? I do business. You need to pay a price for it,” Renee said with a smile. Philip laughed. The words sounded very familiar to him as if he said them before. He used to say such things when he was doing business just to bluff some dumb customers. “Of course, I know you do business. If you’re willing to tell us something, we can offer you something in return, whether money or other resources,” Philip said with calm confidence. No matter what the other party wanted, he could easily provide it. Renee smiled at Philip’s words. “It's
The woman seemed amused by Philip’s request. “I know what you’re worried about. Don’t worry, I’m not a liar. Although my actions don’t seem aboveboard to you, I’m not a bad person.” The woman did not hide anything. She knew that Philip had seen through the secret of her singing. As the only man who discovered her secret, she admired Philip very much. She once vowed that she would marry the man who could resist the temptation of her singing. “By the way, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Renee, and I'm an employee of Moon Tavern. My job is very simple, that is to bring in more profits to the tavern.” Renee seemed very sincere and told them everything about herself. “However, my method isn’t very aboveboard. You already know that I make profits by using my singing to attract customers.” Renee mentioned her secret frankly, and Philip was surprised by her honesty. “As for the secret between me and the lark people, I can tell you that they hate me so much because some
Seeing everyone’s reaction, Philip was all the more interested in this mysterious existence. He wanted to find out who they were to act so arrogantly. Obviously, the lark people were stronger than anyone could imagine. Ordinary people were afraid of this family no matter how powerful they were. Maybe the storyteller felt uncomfortable at the mention of this family, but he quickly left after a while. Philip and the others were disappointed that they could not find out the news they wanted. When they thought that they had to return in defeat, a woman appeared and looked at them calmly. The woman was wearing a veil on her face, making it impossible to see her appearance. The veil was quite an extraordinary item that could block various detections. However, Philip recognized her at a glance. She was the woman singing on the stage just now. She actually approached them. Things were getting more and more interesting. “What you want to know is taboo. Come with me if you want to fi
Meanwhile, backstage at Moon Tavern, the waiter was telling the woman singing on stage earlier about what had happened in the private room. The woman was full of disbelief, thinking the waiter was lying. “Don’t try to bluff me. How could anyone resist my attack?” The woman wore a veil on her face and looked very mysterious. Only the woman knew how disgusting she looked when she was not performing or casting spells. Covering her face was the best choice. The waiter told her what happened and described the state Philip and the others were in earlier. Although two people were affected, it was a problem because one person had remained conscious.They would face a lot of problems if other people discovered their tricks. The woman's tricks were extraordinary. Even a powerful person with superb strength would find it difficult to get rid of her attack. These so-called strong experts would only end up falling for her trick. At this time, the storyteller went on stage, and he was t
Philip nodded. “Do I have to order something else?” A hint of realization flashed in Philip’s eyes. He realized what was going on. The woman had the ability to bewitch the customers by affecting their thinking and emotions through singing and inducing them into spending money. She exuded a special charm to attract the customers even though she looked ordinary. In their minds, she was an unattainable goddess. Everyone saw a different woman in their minds but charming nonetheless, tempting them to spend money on her even though it would cost them all their fortune. However, Philip was different. He could control his emotions very well, so this woman had almost no influence on him. He realized this problem when he first heard that mysterious song. The waiter scowled and finally left the private room in horror after much deliberation. Philip did not say anything at his hasty departure. The woman quickly left the stage after playing her zither, and the bewitched customers
“Something is wrong. I find that woman a little weird.” Hearing that, they were curious to find out how Philip concluded that. “Although she’s not that good-looking, I don’t think she’s weird. What do you think is wrong with her?” Carlos said in puzzlement, wondering why Philip felt that this woman was weird. “The woman seems to have a fatal attraction to the male customers. It’s a scary ability to make these men flock to her.” It was weird that a woman with average looks could attract so many men. No one would believe that she had a strong appeal. “Welcome to Moon Tavern. I’ll be singing a song for you today. I hope you like it.” The woman's delicate voice rang, and everyone felt relaxed and happy. Even Philip felt that this voice was very charming, like the sound of nature ringing in his ears. However, Philip was not a fool. He keenly sensed something wrong with the situation. Nothing would be charming enough to attract him. For it to happen meant that something was wro
“Give us three pots of tea. We don’t need anything else. Thank you.” Philip did not order anything else. In his opinion, he was just here to find information, so his money should be spent on things that mattered the most. The waiter rolled his eyes at the order and seemed to look down on Philip. “Customers, are you sure you only want a few pots of tea? We have many snacks too,” the waiter said in disdain. Carlos was more concerned about his image, so he was shocked by the waiter’s obvious disdain. “Yes, we only need a pot of tea each. We want to have a taste first.” Adam's attitude was much better, speaking with a friendly smile on his face. Even if the waiter was angry, he could do nothing about it. The waiter left cursing under his breath. He thought that they were big customers, but they did not even give him a tip. Philip glanced at the waiter helplessly. Even waiters were so arrogant nowadays. Philip and the others were quickly served three pots of tea. The pots
