Alton scowled. Who was not having a hard time? “Have you heard of Treasure House?” Mark asked worriedly. He wanted to seek Alton’s help to get rid of Treasure House. However, Mark had no idea who stood behind Treasure House, so he could not help but worry. He was guarded against such an unfamiliar force. Alton glanced at Mark with a glint in his eyes. He was just about to seek Mark’s cooperation to deal with Treasure House, but Mark turned up at his door first. In that case, he would speak his mind. “Treasure House isn't only going to increase the popularity of my city, but it can also drive economic development here. Why do you think I should help you?” Alton spoke directly, obviously asking for benefits. “Bijou Parlor has always been sharing long-term profits with you. Once our business is affected, your profit will drop significantly too. It won’t be that easy to find someone to treat your son by then,” Mark said. Mark was quite confident that Alton would remain on h
The First Heir Chapter 5181
Mark finally realized Alton’s objective. He felt that Alton was a hypocrite. He could just say he wanted more money without going in circles. They had been working together for so many years and had forged a deep friendship and rapport. Mark did not expect Alton to beat about the bush this time. Mark nodded and said hesitantly, “I’ll give you another 10% of my turnover.” It was a huge concession for Mark as 10% of the turnover was not a small amount. In the past, Alton would have agreed without a doubt. After all, he needed money to cure his son, and with such a big mayor's residence to support, he was always short of funds. However, things were different now. He no longer had any pressure, and his property issues had been resolved. He could negotiate business with Mark without any worries. Philip’s store opened at the right time. Not only could it help Alton raise the price, but it could also force Mark into a corner. Alton rejected Mark’s suggestion. “That amount do

Alton’s remark was like a bolt of lightning that struck Mark into despair. If Treasure House employed the same operating model, Bijou Parlor could do something along the way. However, it was very extreme for the other party to have their own alchemist. With an alchemist, they could continuously provide supplies for their store at any time. Alton smiled at Mark’s desperation. “If you can get hold of their alchemist, I can consider keeping the original price and just charge you ten percent for the information. If you can deal with it, I won’t take 50 percent." Alton was quite generous in giving Mark a chance to salvage the situation. Whether Mark succeeded or not, it was no loss to Alton. Mark nodded. This was undoubtedly a good option. Although Alton went a little far, it was the best way to handle it. In this way, not only could he gain an alchemist but also tide over this crisis, which was good. “They live in the backyard of Treasure House. The alchemist is a young kid

Alton was in a great mood as he anticipated what would happen next. He finally had the chance to earn back the fortune he had spent over the years, so he was ecstatic. Mark left the mayor's residence unhappily. He had resented Alton for ages. Alton had always been greedy and obnoxious. Alton had been eyeing his business all this while. Mark would have been deceived by him if he had not been smart enough. However, Mark did not blame Alton on account of his son. Alton just wanted to find someone in Cosmo City to protect him. Alton must have spent a lot of money to save his pitiful son, so Mark could understand his situation. Now that his son was cured, however, Alton took advantage to ask for more. What else could it be but greed? “Damn it, even when your son was suffering back then, it didn’t stop you from enjoying yourself. With so many women in the mayor's residence, no wonder your son ended up that way!” Mark cursed as he walked away, disappointed in Alton.… In the mean

With that thought in mind, Niffler controlled his anger and took out some energy stones. “I’ll buy one.” He had never bought a pill from this place before and did not know how good it was, but it could not be that bad with so many customers around. Niffler bought one at random and left. To everyone, he seemed like he was running away in embarrassment. The old men laughed at Niffler’s hasty retreat. They were hired to buy pills. Although they were not paid much, it was easy money that they could earn every day. Philip knew that someone was doing this but paid no heed. These pills had been diluted to a certain degree. By controlling the quantity, he could ensure popularity. His pills were much better than those found on this continent, but the effects were not so significant, and they were expensive too. After Philip’s adjustment, all the pills were no different. Philip was not worried that someone would buy his things and use them against him. If they had the guts to d

Anyway, anyone who turned up was a guest. Since this was the last visitor, Philip would oblige. Philip was surprised and puzzled to see an old acquaintance. “Oh, it’s you! Why are you here and dressed up as a beggar?” Cosmo Kean stood with a hint of confusion in front of Philip too. There was no need for Cosmo to be disguised as a feeble beggar if he was here to have fun. Philip could not help but feel that this fragile beggar would breathe his last at any minute. Cosmo smiled as he used a bucket of water to wash the makeup from his face. He entered Philip’s store and seemed very friendly. “My savior, I can’t bear it anymore!” Cosmo cut to the chase. Before this, Cosmo admired his father very much and kept his words to heart. After he woke up from his coma, however, Cosmo discovered that his father was a different person. Just the number of mistresses alone made him sick. Cosmo could not trust a word his father said now, which led to an underlying conflict between the t

“My dad heard about this woman from somewhere and took her as his mistress!” Everyone was shocked to hear this, but it was difficult for outsiders to intervene in other people’s family affairs. “So, you want to take action because of this?” Philip asked. This reason was far-fetched but not unreasonable. Cosmo nodded. He found it difficult to talk about it, but that was the fact. He could overlook his father’s actions of manipulating those women at will, but he was after the girl of his dreams this time! More importantly, his father knew the feelings he had for this woman! However, Cosmo buried his feelings because he was grateful to his father for all he had done for him. A few days ago, the girl of his dreams sat crying under a tree with thoughts of attempting suicide. She was an ordinary person, not a practitioner! Under such circumstances, she had no other way out. Cosmo became a different person because of this incident. He had to seek revenge and make things difficul

“If we can get rid of your father with your help, it’s a deal. You don’t need to pay a price. We just need you to put on an act.” Philip already had a plan in his mind, and he vowed to bring Alton to his downfall. Philip’s intuition had always been very accurate. Although Alton did not seem to be doing anything, Philip could already guess what would happen next. While Philip was talking to Cosmo, Mark sneaked into the backyard with his men. Although Mark was unwilling to trust Alton, it was the only way out. At this time, they saw a young boy walking out from the back. This boy wore strange attire and was approaching them. Without further ado, Mark ordered his men to throw a sack over the boy and carry him away. When they thought the plan had been carried out without a hitch, the boy stood frowning at them. “What are you doing? Do you want to kidnap me?” the boy blinked his big eyes and asked in curious innocence. Mark nodded without taking the boy seriously. “A child lik

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

Philip was not afraid at all. He knew that someone would target him, but they were just losers. They might be influential, but they were nothing in his eyes. He did not want to cause trouble, but it did not mean he would let anyone insult him. Philip and the others quickly found a tavern that looked quite high-end. “This place looks interesting.” Philip found the various decorations quite novel and knew it would not be cheap. “I don’t think it’s so easy to find any important information here. Just look at the customers and you’ll know that we’ll spend a bomb,” Carlos marveled at the price tag. Adam looked at the menu curiously and was quickly surprised to see how expensive it was for a pot of tea. “A pot of tea costs thousands of crystals?” Adam almost had a meltdown at the price. “Look at the requirements stated on the menu. Each person has to order a minimum of a pot of tea. Anything less than that and we’re not welcomed.” Adam shook his head helplessly and suddenly

“It’ll take a long time for this little fox to become a human. I think you would've found your other half before that happened.” After exchanging some pleasantries, Philip bade farewell to the shopkeeper and left without further ado. They had to hurry up to find the person Adam was looking for.… Meanwhile, Luther hurried back home unhappily. He never dreamed that he would suffer such humiliation one day. As soon as he returned home, a man greeted him. It was none other than his father, who doted on his son. “What's wrong?” He was surprised to see his son ignoring him. His son was always flashy and arrogant, so his behavior was quite unusual. Luther was in no mood to pay attention to his father. He returned to the room angrily without saying a word. “Guard, what’s going on? Did someone bully my son?” Luther's father, Klein, glared at the guard unhappily, blaming the guard for everything. The guard kneeled in fear and felt sorry for himself. “The young sir was brows

The shopkeeper was clearly relieved by Philip’s remark and direct approach. However, he was also embarrassed by Philip’s bluntness. He smiled at Philip awkwardly as an apology. “Why don’t you recommend a pet for my buddy? It should be a stronger one, preferably a combat type!” Philip glanced at Carlos. He knew that Carlos was too embarrassed to take the initiative. Carlos looked at Philip gratefully, letting out a shy chuckle. The shopkeeper recommended several pets to them. Carlos was dazzled by the sight and wanted them all. Adam looked at the scene with satisfaction. Although he had a high position, he did not have a decent pet either. It was difficult to have a pet in their world. With a wave of his hand, Philip generously bought a pet for each of them. At this time, Philip heard a whine from somewhere. He turned his head curiously and looked for the source of the sound. “What’s that noise?” Philip looked at the shopkeeper in confusion, unable to find the source of

Luther was at a loss for how to react. If the rabbit could speak, it had to be stronger than his pet. Although his pet was very powerful, it was just an ordinary creature that could understand some basic instructions and handle normal interactions. A talking pet was simply to die for. “Wow, how can that monster pet speak? It’s a force to be reckoned with.” Luther was shocked to see a talking pet. It was enviable to have such a powerful monster. Before this, he mocked the rabbit for not having any ability, but the tide had turned. He was almost going crazy with jealousy and wished that he could take the rabbit for himself. “I didn't bring my pet along, so I’m afraid I can’t show it to you. Losers like you don’t deserve to see my pet.” Luther acted full of snobbery and disdain, but he clutched his purse awkwardly. In fact, not only did he bring his pet out, but he had also been ready to show it off at any time. After all, his pet was very powerful and could grow bigger or sma

Philip was annoyed by the guy’s ridicule and simply wanted to keep a distance from him. “I don’t care who you are. I don’t want to pay attention to a loser.” After saying this, Philip could not wait to leave this disgusting place. He felt sick at the sight of the guy’s ugly face. Carlos lost the mood to watch the fun. He shook his head helplessly and turned around to leave. However, that guy was used to getting his way. He did not plan to let them leave in one piece. Anyone who offended him had to die. “Surround him. Don’t let him run away!” The man glared at Philip with disdain, sure that Philip would die. Philip was quickly surrounded by a large group of people. They were angry that Philip dared to go against their boss. “Who are you? Where did you come from? How dare you disobey our boss? Didn't he tell you to stop?” a guard yelled angrily. He was clearly a competent lackey, loudly accusing Philip as if he was going to stand up for his boss. “What are you looking at?
