“I can’t believe that the acting commander of the city guards would be so cruel and ruthless to the point of disregarding human lives!” The prime minister kept complaining about what happened and could not bear it anymore. The refugees were very pitiful. The prime minister even provided a vacant house for them. The prime minister had many properties in Imperial City, and this empty house could accommodate many people. The weak and elderly led a tough life in hiding. Whenever they went out to buy something, they would be discovered as refugees. Thus, the prime minister even had to arrange for food and drinks to be sent to them. Hence, no one discovered the refugees hiding here for the time being, but Fernand was in the spotlight, leading his men in search of refugees and driving them out. The emperor looked very unhappy when he heard the report. He never thought Fernand would be so bold as to drive the refugees away without permission. “He believes that the refugees are the
Other cities would never accept them. His house was their only way out. Fernand was already lost in his bloodlust. At first, he let the Shadow Guards operate in private. Later, he personally captured the refugees in broad daylight. The people had to pay a certain fee if they wanted to stay in Imperial City, and no ordinary family could afford that amount. Those who paid up could stay in Imperial City for some time, while those who could not were driven away or killed on the spot. The refugees went into panic mode for a while. They had lost the chance to survive. Thus, many of them fled Imperial City. They did not dare to stay for fear that a bunch of killers would suddenly appear and kill them. … The Cod family developed rapidly and quietly. With Alton's help, they built their business, and Vance got swell-headed. After his family’s business developed rapidly, Vance was convinced that the city would belong to them in no time. Thus, he found it difficult to accept that T
Among the first five customers in line today, two were from the Cod family and two were from the mayor’s residence. The last one was a lucky bystander. Vance paid no heed. As soon as the door opened, he led his people forward to cause a commotion and dispersed all the people waiting in line. The people queueing up happily waiting to buy a storage ring were pushed away and disappeared among the crowd. Other people in line were confused about being chased away. Most importantly, their queue order had been disrupted! The people at the back of the queue happily pushed their way forward, trying to grab the first five spots while the people in front were pushed to the ground and trampled on. Noelle was dumbfounded by this scene. Everyone usually lined up in an orderly manner. Even if they were jealous of the first five customers, they would not do such an impulsive thing. This turn of events was very unusual. “Stop messing around!” Granite and his team quickly maintained the
“You’re right. I’ll ask them to keep queuing. There can never be too many storage rings.” Alton smiled and stroked his right hand. He had made room for a storage ring. If possible, he wanted all ten fingers filled with storage rings. At this time, someone ran to the mayor’s residence in a panic and knelt in front of Alton. Alton was taken aback and wondered what was going on. “What’s going on? Why are you in such a panic? Did something happen when you were making the purchase?” He recognized this subordinate as the one responsible for buying the storage ring for him. Something big must have happened to render him in such a panic. “Mayor, something bad has happened. We were just about to buy the storage ring when Vance of the Cod family turned up to cause trouble and disrupted everything! “Due to that, Treasure House shut the door in anger and refused to open for business. We can’t even queue up for anything now! “We don’t even know if Treasure House will ever open for bus
If Niffler was looking for Scarlet all over the city, she would be doomed. “Cut the crap and do as you’re told!” Alton was angry that Scarlet dared to refuse his order. “How dare you question me?” He slapped Scarlet and sent her flying. Scarlet stared at Alton in shocked disbelief. She never dreamed that she would be beaten. Scarlet relied on her beauty and the charm technique that she was so proud of to take Alton down. However, Alton hit her! Scarlet walked out, full of grievance and resentment. Scarlet was worried about Niffler’s pursuit, but she was more indignant about being played out by Alton. Scarlet vowed to take revenge. “Damn it, all men are no good!” Scarlet scowled and headed to Cod Residence in anger. It was not that far, so it did not take Scarlet too long to reach. Most of them knew that Scarlet was the mayor’s blue-eyed girl. Scarlet entered the house without a hitch and quickly found Jeff. Jeff was playing with his storage ring. All the pills and w
Jeff heard that two members of the family managed to get the first five spots, so they would definitely get two storage rings. However, the good news was quickly ruined. Why would Vance do such a thing? “That’s impossible. The Cod family and the mayor’s residence both received two spots. We should get two storage rings each. Why would Vance do this?” Jeff expressed doubts. Scarlet shrugged and said, “Go find out if you don’t believe me. It has become a big deal now. Everyone is demanding an explanation.” Everyone knew the culprit and felt resentful toward the Cod family. All the customers cursed and complained, not only because of the storage rings but also everything else. Treasure House had decided to stop the sale of storage rings. After learning the news, everyone went into an uproar. This was out of their expectations. They could get an opportunity by queuing up before this, but the chance was lost now! In an instant, the Cod family became the target of public outr
Meanwhile, the Cod family was in an uproar. They were panicking, but no one knew how to deal with it. Vance’s impulsive move caught them by surprise and forced the Cod family into a corner. “What should we do? We need to tell the family head about this!” “But she said no one is allowed to disturb her when she’s sleeping!” “Those people are going to make their way in here soon. If we don’t tell her right now, we’ll end up dead!” Everyone was nervous and worried. Since Emma took over the reins of the Cod family, her status was different. She became the head of the Cod family overnight. Emma had a weird temper and immediately set some rules, such as not to disturb her when she was sleeping. Everyone was panicking. It was a big crime to disturb her sleep, and they would most likely be exiled from the family. Finally, someone could not contain their fear and went to wake Emma up. Emma was very angry when she woke up, but it was quickly replaced by panic when she heard the
“Do you know what you’re saying? Are you telling me to push my precious son out and let everyone abuse him? You’re such a brutal person!” Emma was very angry and wished she could yell at Jeff. Jeff scoffed inwardly but looked at Emma without a word.… On Philip’s side, he heard about the uproar as well. Since Philip had a grudge against the Cod family, Philip was very excited to hear about it. He decided to add fuel to the fire. Philip announced that Treasure House would stop the sale of storage rings but lamented the fact that they had many rings on hand. Everyone became more furious at the news. They thought Treasure House was running low on storage rings, which was why they decided to stop selling them. Hearing otherwise meant that they had lost the opportunity to buy a storage ring at a low price. Those who did not oppose Vance earlier changed their minds. They gathered together to protest in front of Vance’s house. As more and more people gathered outside the Co
“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?
The street was very crowded with not only various pet monsters for sale but also a myriad of pills and techniques, which looked impressive. Philip was happy to see this. This place was clearly better than any other place he had visited before. It was very different from the other places he knew. “This is the place I’ve always wanted to visit.” Philip could not contain his excitement and wanted to bring all his friends and family over. “After finding your crush, I’ll bring all my people over and show them this place.” Rabbit was surprised to hear Philip’s high evaluation of this place. He simply felt that something was unusual about this place, but it was nothing too special. “Don’t miss this great bargain. Our pets are the best. You look unfamiliar. Is this your first time here? I can tell you some things and satisfy your curiosity. I’m sure my goods are nothing you've seen before.” Seeing that Philip and the others did not own a pet monster, the seller kept promoting his g
“You must be referring to the lark people. What do you want with them? They're not to be trifled with. You’ll be in trouble if you mess with them.” Everyone was delighted to hear about the lark people. It was great that someone knew something. Adam was very excited to find a clue as soon as they arrived. He had thought it would take a lot of effort to find something, but reality proved otherwise. “The lark people can be regarded as the overlords here. You can find out about them easily. I'm just an ordinary old woman, so I can't tell you too much. You should approach other people if you want to find out more. Maybe you can find a storyteller. I’m sure they can tell you some very important information.” The old lady was clearly unwilling to disclose anything, so everyone was disappointed. In that case, they could not force her. “Thank you very much. At least you gave us an inkling about what to do. We wouldn’t know so many things if it weren't for you.” Adam thanked the old
“I heard that her family is quite complicated. They seem quite troublesome.” Hearing that, everyone wondered what Adam meant. It seemed that he would face problems in pursuing a relationship with this woman. Carlos looked at Adam awkwardly and sighed. “It doesn't matter. We don’t have to worry about that. Let's just take things one step at a time.” Rabbit calmly drifted around with Philip, feeling quite good. “What's there to worry about? I say the old monk has nothing better to do than worry about trivial matters. It’d be embarrassing if so many of us couldn’t bring a woman back.” Until now, Rabbit felt that the other party was just an ordinary woman, so he did not think that there was anything to worry about. They quickly joined the line to enter the city. To Philip's surprise, there was no entrance fee at all. Moreover, their appearance and attire looked no different from the others. Philip and his friends calmly entered the place, and Philip stood on guard. He had a
Philip felt helpless at the sight of this vast starry sky and suddenly felt that maybe coming here was not the right choice. They arrived without knowing anything about this place, so they might encounter various dangers. “I’m curious about the woman you've been looking for. She must be quite extraordinary,” Philip said curiously, baffled about this matter. Hearing that, Adam shook his head helplessly. He was really clueless about everything. “I only know that I can come here and find her with the key. I don’t even know where she is. We can only search aimlessly in this starry sky.” Philip was dumbfounded by Adam’s incompetence. “I thought we’d be teleported to her home or a fixed location, so I don’t know what’s the deal with this. I have a feeling that I’ve been tricked.” Adam sighed helplessly. “Let's just wander around. I’m sure we can find something somehow,” Carlos comforted Adam, but he was not optimistic about it either. He knew that they probably could not find the
Adam had to reevaluate Philip’s strength. He used to think that Philip was simply the best of his generation. Although powerful, he was not invincible. However, the ability to change certain orders and rules was not something that just anyone had. It would not be far-fetched to call Philip the chosen one favored by the heavens. Philip told Carlos to bury Bryce before forgetting about him. Carlos quickly handled his affairs, packed his bags, and got ready to set off with Philip. Adam also waited for Philip without much luggage on hand. Philip stuffed Rabbit into the Verge Tower space. He had to bring Rabbit along with him or the latter would be up to no good. “Rabbit, stay in Verge Tower and stop bothering me.” Rabbit was upset to hear that he had to stay in Verge Tower but still felt happy that Philip was willing to take him along. “Next, the two of you need to relax. I’ll wrap you with my energy. Don't try to resist or you’ll only end up hurting yourself,” Philip said.
