The person leading them was the young man who understood Philip’s message. The young man stepped forward and looked at Alton unhappily. “Mr. Mayor, please let us know why we haven’t received any response to the reports we made. We mentioned that the Cod family is ripping us off and trying to suppress other stores. They're simply forcing us into a corner,” he said indignantly. “Are you working with the Cod family? Otherwise, why aren't you responding to our reports?” Alton scowled darkly, shocked that ignorant fools dared to question him. “Do you think I’m having fun at home every day? With the current beast invasion, our city may not hold on for much longer. I’m trying my best to look for reinforcements and think of ways to deal with this crisis. "Do you think I have time for such trivial matters?” Alton retorted, unhappy with their questioning. Although all he did was watch beautiful women singing and dancing every day, it did not mean he could reveal it to the public. E
Cosmo struggled to break free. During this time, he stole the family's money and bought many pills and quite a good technique from Philip. The technique was an exclusive item given by Philip to him as a reward to Cosmo for having the guts to oppose his father. Therefore, Cosmo was no longer a loser with weak practice skills. He was stronger than anyone imagined. Some people did not recognize Cosmo and wondered who he was. “This guy looks similar to the mayor. Is it his son who has been in a coma for many years?” “So, he has recovered and is willing to testify against his father!” Everyone was in disbelief and thought their eyes were playing tricks on them. However, it further proved that Alton was in the wrong. The people in front of the mayor’s residence were not only troublemakers but also devout followers of the mayor. After hearing Cosmo's allegations, everyone was in disbelief. In comparison, they were more willing to believe Cosmo. Oz wanted to use force to take
“Don’t listen to him. Although this foolish son of mine has recovered, his brain has been badly affected, which causes frequent hallucinations. He thinks I'm listening to music and drinking when it’s just the servants having fun. "However, my wife has indeed been in poor health, which worries me. I want Treasure House to open for business too! I need a pill to save my wife!” After saying this, Alton closed the door sadly. Everyone was dumbfounded, at a loss for how to react. They thought it was ridiculous. They were here to demand an explanation, and Cosmo even testified against Alton but things ended up this way! Alton's explanation seemed to clear things up, but it was not the outcome they expected. “What should we do? He’s just glossing things over!” someone asked in confusion. The young man in the lead was helpless too. “What else can we do? Let’s just queue up. Treasure House will be selling some stuff tomorrow!” Everyone saw Alton’s true colors in this incident
Oz had to catch up to Philip out of the city. Philip had left Cosmo City with Aslan in the direction of Guzo Forest. “There are so many beasts out here,” Aslan marveled. Aslan was here to prove his ability. Although the beasts in the forest had gotten stronger, their intelligence did not improve. It was as if something simply enhanced their strength. Aslan felt very satisfied when he sensed the beasts’ awe toward him. “Hehe, you guys better maintain your respectful attitude!” Aslan swaggered among the beasts. Philip really felt like smacking the smug look off Aslan’s face. Aslan had always been arrogant. He deserved it if someone bashed him up because of it. Philip left easily, but things were different for Oz. Although he brought the sachet with him, the beasts were curious about the sachet. They would not attack the person with the sachet, but they were attracted by the smell. Oz was surrounded by so many beasts that his knees went weak and he could not continue wal
The soldiers grimaced. They wanted to act tough too, but they were not up to it! Lance was highly valued because of his ability, but he was not given a high position because of his frankness and inability to conceal his emotions. On the contrary, Fernand Larson was not that capable, but with a bit of skill and flattery, he did quite well for himself. Lance had always disliked Fernand, so they were always at odds with each other in court to the point of fighting, which made the emperor unhappy. Lance was sent to deal with the beasts because of Fernand’s repeated instigation. “Everyone knows that this mission is highly dangerous. Out of so many commanders, they just had to send me!” Lance grumbled. Although he would take the initiative to wipe out the beasts under normal circumstances, it felt different when he was pushed to the frontline. As they moved forward, a beast dozens of meters high suddenly appeared before them. The towering trees around them were ripped apart a
Lance cursed aloud, but no one replied to him. They had no idea what was going on. “Damn it, I saw it! It's that dude over there!” a soldier cursed in anger, wishing he could give that stranger a beating. The wooden stick was thrown by Aslan. They saw the situation and wanted to help, but Philip changed his mind at the last minute and decided to get rid of the beast. In his opinion, it should be an easy task. Aslan was amused by the cursing soldiers. “Oops, I’m sorry. I didn’t think this would happen. I wanted to help you, but my attack missed!” Aslan said awkwardly and seemed apologetic. Lance was furious and at a loss for what to say. “Ignore him. Let’s go!” Lance was worried that the beast would chase after them. The beast was simply messing around in the forest without going out to cause destruction. After this incident, however, it might chase after them and kill them all. As they got ready to run, the beast swung its tail and sent everyone flying. They lay on th
Maybe this guy could really take down this beast. Everything was possible before the outcome was finalized. At this time, many people were sent flying, looking very miserable. Philip felt sorry for them. After all, they were injured because of them, so Philip signaled Aslan. Aslan nodded and understood Philip’s meaning. “These pills can heal your injuries. Remember, although they're good stuff, don’t be greedy. Take them as our compensation and leave quickly. Stop wasting your time here.” Aslan was just teasing them earlier and had no other intentions. They seemed like nice people, so Aslan did not want to waste time with them. Lance felt that Aslan was humiliating him. “What do you mean? Are you looking down on me?” Lance knocked the pills from Aslan’s hand in a huff. “I don’t need your charity.” He did not care about Aslan’s gift. It would not be anything good. Aslan was surprised by Lance’s rejection. With a hook of his fingers, the pills returned to his hand.
Lance realized the severity of this matter and wanted to run away. At this moment, Philip signaled Aslan to attract the beast’s attention while he attacked its eyeballs. As long as the beast kept its eyes open, its weakness would be exposed. As a monster beast, Aslan’s aura could affect the beast. After sensing Aslan's presence, the lizard beast rushed at Aslan furiously. Philip seized this opportunity to attack the beast with multiple weapons that appeared in his hands. The beast was frightened by this scene and wanted to escape, but it was too late. Philip was one step ahead of it. No matter how the beast resisted, the dagger pierced its eyeball. The beast howled in pain. “Go to hell!” Philip attacked without hesitation, and waves of light pierced through the beast’s eyeballs into its brain. The growing beast was finally dead. Philip was so fast that Lance could hardly keep up even after everything was over. Lance was still running, making him look ridiculous. “He
“Get ready. I’ll bring you along to break the barriers later. I believe it won’t be difficult for you to sneak inside.” Adam and Carlos decided to enter the place for a look. No matter what, they had to figure out the situation. No one wanted to cause trouble for no reason. “Since you've decided to go in, I’ll break the barrier for you.” The mayor’s residence was full of barriers. One wrong move and they would be in trouble. Adam and Carlos were surprised to hear Philip’s remark. No one expected to find barriers in this place. “What?” Carlos exclaimed in surprise. “I sense something wrong with this place. We may encounter an accident if we’re not careful.” Adam was better at such things and expressed his helplessness at this scene. “Are you sure you can handle it?” Adam asked cautiously. He was not familiar with this area. Although his practice level was high, he was not knowledgeable in this area. Things like making pills or setting up formations were unknown to him.
Although the city belonged to the lark people, they generally allowed people from other families to reside there. This old woman was obviously not one of the lark people, so she was quite emotional about such things. “This member of the lark family is very powerful with a high status, not someone ordinary people like us can speak about.” Although she said so, she still told Adam everything she knew, catching all his attention. “This is fascinating.” It never occurred to Adam that the person getting married would be the woman he had been thinking about. He just simply thought that it was an event worth celebrating. “Do you know what the woman looks like? Can you describe her appearance to us? I’m quite curious about it,” Philip said with an expectant chuckle. The old woman described the bride’s appearance, but her description was not very credible. She simply said that the bride was very beautiful. “The bride has a bad reputation. It seemed that she went missing for a wh
Renee felt helpless at Carlos’ jibe. He was insufferable. Philip frowned at their brainless banter. “Cut the crap. Don't you see that everyone around you is eavesdropping on you? One wrong word and you’ll expose yourselves.” Visitors were welcomed in this city, but they treated outsiders with caution and would never let them stay for no reason. “I have to say that the lark people are really rich and influential to own such a large city. They must've been around for thousands of years,” Adam said with relief. In his opinion, his lover seemed more mysterious now, most probably the daughter of a big family. He felt like he had won the affection of a rich woman. “In that case, it's even harder for you to marry into a wealthy family. They have very strict requirements for their sons-in-law, and you’ll most likely end up being inferior to a woman. That’s not a good thing.” Carlos shook his head helplessly. They had seen many such cases and knew about the mess. Adam ignored Ca
“You have to believe that the people of this family don’t value feelings at all. Those things are worthless to them.” Renee had been dealing with them for a long time. She knew them very well and hated their behavior. In their opinion, nothing was more important than themselves. They would only cause trouble for others and never value feelings. “No one can say for sure what will happen. Maybe after our relationship, Ashley has changed her mind and decided to be with me.” Adam was still hopeful. In his opinion, he had a chance to win Ashley back. “Since you don't want to believe me, let's give it a try. I want to see how this infamous family will treat you.” Renee arrived in disguise. Since Renee had a big conflict with the lark people, she had to disguise herself. Philip was very good in this area and turned Renee into another person, making sure that no one would recognize her. Adam did not change his looks. He was very satisfied with his appearance and could not wait to
The spokesperson was the grandmaster of the lark people, and he suffered a great blow. After much deliberation, he finally decided to deal with this matter properly. The woman who had embarrassed the lark people had to die. He had thought they could get rid of the woman easily, but she was very good at hiding. Now that so many years had passed, he was no longer keen on pursuing the matter anymore. Unexpectedly, someone used this incident to mock his family today. This time, he vowed to get rid of that woman even if he had to deploy all the forces of the family. At least, they could not allow the reputation of the lark people to be tarnished. “Send someone to find the whereabouts of that woman. You have to capture her alive at all costs. I want to execute her in public,” he ordered his shadow guards to take action. No matter what, the lark people had to right the wrong. The scouts of the lark people quickly got to work. As professionals, they knew what to do. Renee had been
“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
