“Collect the beasts for now. The fur and hide won’t be worth much, but the meat should be tender and delicious, am I right?” the emperor asked curiously. As far as he knew, most beast meat had an average taste. The meat was tough and not something he preferred, so the emperor rarely ate beast meat. However, the emperor had never seen the beasts that attacked them this time, so he was curious and eager to have a taste. “Don’t worry, leave it to me!” Fernand patted his chest, confident that he could handle it. “It doesn’t matter if we can't get any money, but our strength will greatly improve after we eat the meat of a beast,” Fernand said with a smile. He was speaking from his own experience over the years. The emperor was very interested. He summoned his people to gather the edible meat and bring it back to his palace after cutting it into pieces. He did not want others to know about it. Otherwise, everyone would disturb him during mealtimes. Fernand was expectant.As
“Let’s see what an unworthy prime minister can do to me!” Fernand was very confident. He knew that although the prime minister’s position and power were higher than his, after what happened with the recent beast invasion, his status would soar beyond anyone’s imagination. Many people opposed the deportation of refugees, and Fernand took this opportunity to overthrow many loyal officials. Fernand was simply carrying out the emperor’s orders, but he took advantage of this limelight to spread the news about the officials’ actions, including how they disobeyed the royal decree and kept the refugees in captivity at home. He also spread the word about how their private aid and assistance to refugees had greatly affected Fernand’s work of deporting them. In a nutshell, he made the issue more serious than it was. The emperor could not accept anyone disobeying his orders. No ruler in the world could tolerate this, so even though the officials were loyal, they were ostracized. The
When Alton returned to the room, Jeff had been waiting for him. Seeing Alton, Jeff stood up respectfully and greeted him. As the mayor, Alton was full of arrogance. He looked at Jeff in disdain and said unhappily, “I didn’t expect to see you. Just speak your mind and stop wasting my time.” He wanted to take this opportunity to get something from the Cod family. Now that the Cod family had taken root in Cosmo City, it would not be that easy for them to leave. He would not let them leave without giving him anything in return. “The Cod family is in a critical situation right now, so I’d like to seek your help,” Jeff pretended to plead with Alton. Jeff seemed very anxious about getting Alton to save the Cod family, but in fact, he was very calm and even thinking of taking a nap. Since he bought the storage ring from Philip, he had been full of confidence. Every time he passed Treasure House, he would bow in worship. Jeff knew that Philip was not afraid of the Cod family or
Although Philip mentioned before that he would auction some things, it never happened, so everyone gradually lost interest. Now that the door was open, Jeff did not make a commotion but ran over and looked inside expectantly. He saw Aslan busy at work and Philip instructing him. Although Jeff did not recognize Aslan, he knew Philip! “Shopkeeper, are you open for business? I’ve been waiting for ages!” Jeff said excitedly. Philip recognized this man who had bought a storage ring previously. He observed Jeff and found that his demeanor had changed. This guy looked very dejected when Philip first met him, but he was in high spirits now. More importantly, Jeff’s luck seemed different. “It’s been a while. You look a lot better,” Philip said in delight. He could tell that Jeff was a nice person. “Yeah, it’s been a while. I’m doing very well now. Are you open for business? Can I buy something?” Jeff could not put the storage ring out of his mind. The ring had helped him a lot
In summary, all the missing money was Vance’s fault, and Jeff, the real perpetrator, had nothing to do with it. “Your son is so smart that he squandered all the family’s money!” “Tell us how you spent the money! How did you spend so much money in two weeks?” “If you refuse to tell us, we’ll kick you out!” The Cod family members shouted angrily, certain that Vance was the thief. Vance was about to curse these unreasonable people when he recalled that his bodyguards were no longer around. To save money, they fired all the bodyguards. He had to think twice before doing anything now. He and his mother were two people against more than a dozen on the opposite side. The other party looked aggressive and ready to kill. After much deliberation, Vance had no choice but to contain his anger. “You guys are so annoying!” Vance grumbled under his breath, not daring to speak out loud. He knew that he would be dead if he offended them. “I spent the money to buy things from Philip!”
Vance stared at Jeff, shocked to hear this remark from him. “Jeff, you son of a bitch! How dare you speak to me like that?! You have no right to meddle in the Cod family’s affairs! You’re nothing but a slave!” The more Vance cursed, the happier Jeff felt.… While the Cod family was in chaos, Philip welcomed a mysterious guest, who was none other than Niffler. He went to Comet City, but his trip was ruined because of the beasts. Now that the incident was over, Niffler returned to Cosmo City, but Scarlet was nowhere to be found. He doubted Scarlet chose to run away and blamed everything on the mayor. He had heard some rumors in the past two days about a charming woman by the mayor’s side. Niffler thought the mayor took Scarlet because of her beauty. “Do you want to make a deal with me?” Niffler was dressed in black and stood in a dark corner staring at Philip. Philip was amused by his attempt to look mysterious. When Niffler first flipped over the wall and into the yard,
“You don't have to worry about that. Just let me know if you’re willing to work with me,” Niffler said arrogantly. “Let me think about it.” Philip did not agree immediately. This was risky business. Although Philip was not afraid, he was unwilling to take risks for others. Niffler allowed half a day for Philip to think about it before leaving the store. Philip smiled as Niffler left. He was curious about Niffler.… While Cosmo City was in chaos, Alton made an exciting announcement. He took the initiative to hold a large-scale pill-making contest, seemingly wanting to boost the morale of his citizens. The reward was very impressive. As news spread, Philip heard about it. He was surprised by the reward given by the other party. “Not bad. This guy actually has sunflower seeds.” Philip was amazed. This sunflower was quite extraordinary, not at all like the sunflowers in his original world. This flower was oriented toward the sun, grew only in extremely hot places, and had
With a bright smile on his face, the guard respectfully handed something to Philip. “Mr. Clarke, our mayor wants to invite you to be a judge for the pill-making contest. May I know if you're free?” The guard handed a fancy invitation card to Philip. Philip did not refuse. He wanted to take this opportunity to get to know the alchemists in this world. “Tell your mayor that I agree. I’ll be there on time,” Philip said casually and sent the guard away. The guard nodded solemnly and sneaked a peek inside the store. After confirming that there was nothing for sale, he left in disappointment. The guard wanted to take this opportunity to see if he could buy something, but the shelves were empty. Cosmo City was quite well known. When the pill-making contest was announced, the news spread like wildfire. Almost all the surrounding cities knew about it, and their young and promising alchemists could not wait to go to Cosmo City with their luggage. The sunflower seed was very ent
“Since that’s your request, I’ll oblige.” Philip flew up the stage and quickly landed next to the old monk. Everyone was jealous to see Philip forging a connection with the old monk. Many people at the scene recognized Philip and knew who he was. “Look, isn't that Philip? I can’t believe that the old monk is so interested in Philip. It seems that we can’t take Philip lightly.” “I always thought Philip was a loser, but maybe I’m mistaken.” “He’s on very good terms with the Celestial Palace. Why would you think he was a loser?” Everyone discussed this topic with great interest. Carlos was quite close to Philip, so he felt proud to hear those comments. He knew that everyone was just jealous of Philip. The old monk stretched out his hand and invited Philip to go to his room. Philip nodded at his indication. “You look like a newcomer. Sure enough, the younger generation is taking over the world. For someone at your age to reach this level, you’re certainly a force to be
No one had ever seen the old monk, so they did not know what he was like. Philip and his party soon arrived at Zenith, which looked very grand just like a palace. The large arena in the middle was crowded with people. Everyone was looking at the stage, waiting to pay homage to this legendary old monk. Some people had seen the old monk and heard his lecture in the past. They felt that they had benefited from it, so they arrived early this time to grab a good spot. Others had never seen the old monk, but they knew they would benefit from his lecture about practice. Philip and Carlos squeezed into the middle of the crowd and found seats. Philip was very curious about the old monk and could not wait to see him. Soon, the old monk appeared in front of everyone. He looked very impressive. Seeing his attire, Philip felt that this old man was definitely not an ordinary person. His clothes were very expensive, not something anyone could afford. It was not only in reference to the pr
Rabbit was attacked by the spell before he could react. He stood on the spot blankly, wondering what was going on. Rabbit tried to move when he felt that something was wrong with him. He seemed to have lost control of his body and could not move. “You have no say in this matter. Since you left with me, it means that you've agreed to follow me.” The hooded man was calm. He did not think that Rabbit could escape his clutches easily. After all, the piece of yellow paper was not an ordinary item. He had gone to great lengths to get it. He could control the rabbit’s mind and body fearlessly with that piece of yellow paper. Over time, the rabbit would eventually become his puppet. The hooded man was very excited to think that he would have a powerful helper. Rabbit lost his senses and had no idea what happened. Subconsciously, Rabbit wanted to resist, but he could not for some reason. He could only stand and wait for orders. “Hey, bring me a glass of water,” the hooded man said
“I sense a familiar vibe from you. Where are you from?” Rabbit asked curiously. He had a feeling that this man did not belong to this world. He felt familiar. The man stared at Rabbit while thinking about how to take it away. “I have many secrets. Do you want to know more? Come with me, then. I can give you a good life and help you quickly level up. You can become the best rabbit in existence and stand at the top of this world!” Rabbit hopped over and nodded excitedly. He knew that this person was mysterious and weird, so he wanted to find out more. The hooded man was shocked that this rabbit was dumb enough to leave with him. However, he did not reveal his smugness and just held the rabbit in his arms devoutly. He never thought that he could have such a powerful pet. Thinking of this, he decided to do something to make this rabbit his own. This rabbit had developed intelligence, so it would not agree to become his pet so easily. Rabbit was just leaving with him, but being
The hooded man was very interested in Rabbit and wanted to make contact with him to find out more about him. He quickly found Philip’s house and was surprised to find that it was surrounded by a barrier that blocked all his perceptions, which made him conflicted. It was not a place he could enter at will. He felt some energy fluctuations from formations too. If he was not mistaken, entering this place would be dangerous for him. After much deliberation, he turned around and left without staying any longer. His visit here was enough to verify his guess. Since Philip could come up with such a powerful formation and barrier, he was certainly a force to be reckoned with. At the very least, Philip was not someone he could deal with so easily. As for Rabbit, the hooded man was not bothered by him at all. He just wanted to know how Philip subdued such a powerful pet. The hooded man had dealt with many monster beasts in the past but failed to subdue any. He had even suffered badly un
“Philip's strength mostly comes from his very powerful pet rabbit. Although it's a monster beast, it's a force to be reckoned with. It isn't something anyone can deal with,” Hogster said with lingering fear. He could not forget how Rabbit had beaten Alain to a pulp. “Yes, the rabbit is a force to be reckoned with. You'd better not mess with it for no reason. I really wonder where such a powerful monster beast came from.” Alain seemed very steadfast, but he was already having a mental meltdown. However, he did not want to embarrass himself in public, so he gritted his teeth and hung on. The hooded man looked at Alain and sneered inwardly. He took out a pill from his pocket and handed it to him. “Take this or I’m afraid you’ll collapse soon.” He could notice Alain’s condition at a glance and knew he would not last long. “Forget it. I won’t hide it from you. In fact, the rabbit inflicted all these injuries on me. I wouldn’t be in this miserable state if the rabbit weren’t that
Although the strength of the test subject had increased, he was not highly valued at all because his talent was not affected and did not meet the guild’s requirements. “Okay, you may leave now. Your strength has improved, so make sure to practice hard and don’t let us down,” Alain said grandly, sending the other party away. He knew that this person was nothing but a loser. The guild member who was the test subject had no idea how pathetic he was. Instead, he looked at Alain with excitement and gratitude. Hogster swallowed the potion without hesitation. He quickly felt the changes in his body as if he had become very powerful in just a few seconds. Hogster looked at the hooded man in surprise. He never thought that he could become so strong. “Wow, this is amazing!” Hogster was shocked by this unexpected outcome. His lack of self-esteem was quickly replaced with brimming confidence, and he even had the urge to mess with Philip. In his opinion, Philip was nothing special. Now
“Don’t worry, I mean no harm. That thing is quite good.” The silly member took the potion nervously and looked at Alain expectantly. “Sir, I think I’m getting stronger!” The silly guy showed off his strength excitedly. Alain stepped forward and examined the guild member curiously. Sure enough, his strength had increased. Alain found the increase in strength quite incredible. Moreover, he did not find any side effects on the other party, which was the most surprising. This potion was amazing beyond anyone’s imagination! Alain was very excited and wished he could take it too. “I believe you should know the value of this potion. Just win the competition and stop worrying about the rest.” Alain and the hooded man stepped aside to discuss offering the boys and girls. Hogster was taken aback to hear them. The two quickly reached an agreement as they knew how unethical this transaction was. “Father, you actually agreed to his request! Aren't you afraid that it’ll be expose
By taking the potion, a person could increase their overall strength, and there would be no side effects. It was a miracle potion, indeed. Alain was stunned to hear that. He felt that the hooded man was bragging. How could there be such an amazing potion? “Are you serious? It can’t be that simple.” Alain took the potion from the other party and sized it up, wondering if he should trust this thing. “If you don't believe it, you can give it a try. I don’t mind. You have many people under your command anyway. You can choose to use them as a test subject.” The hooded man was quite cold and aloof in both his actions and speech. Alain nervously clenched the potion tightly. “In that case, I’ll give it a try. Let me find someone.” Alain did not fully trust the hooded man’s words. In his opinion, it was better to play it safe. Who knew if anything would happen? He was nervous about giving something like this to his precious son. At this time, a guild member who was not highly valu
