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
“You turned down the pill he gave you earlier, so why are you asking now?” Philip smiled helplessly and put the beast into his storage space with a wave of his hand. Lance was dumbfounded by Philip’s actions and felt that his outlook on life had collapsed. “What the hell is this?” He wanted to get the answer from Philip, but Philip ignored him. “Now that we have taken care of the beast, let’s take a look inside. Maybe we can find the cause of the beast's mutation.” Philip reached into his space and took out a lizard’s leg. “You can take this as proof of completing your mission. I believe it'll be of great use to you. Your strength may improve by leaps and bounds if you eat it.” Philip smiled and led Aslan into the depths of the beast forest, leaving the soldiers behind staring at each other. Philip was not a saint. He had offered the pills once and would not do it again. If they wanted the healing pills, they had to buy them. His earlier offer was to compensate them
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?
