New orders were quickly issued for hunters to find out what was happening in Guzo Forest. The hunters were apprehensive about this mission. They knew no one wanted to go to that dreadful place again. The team of five inquired about the location of Treasure House and headed there in their miserable state. Dos’ injury was quite serious, but they could only save Tres, who was on the verge of death with the only pill they had. “It's okay. At worst, I can play the support role at home and wait for your return!” Dos said playfully, hoping that his teammates would stop worrying about him. The girl started sobbing. No one wanted to see their teammate hurt. When they arrived at Treasure House and joined the queue, Philip recognized their captain at a glance. “Are you not…” Philip was about to call his name when the man covered Philip's mouth. “We no longer call each other by our names. We're all known by our code names instead. I’m Uno, and these are my teammates.” Uno nervo
Although it felt like a forced transaction, Philip believed that his pill would bring surprises to the middle-aged man.… At the inn, Alton felt very sorry at the sight of his son. After the long journey, Cosmo looked very pale as if he might die at any time. The doctor had said that time was running out for him, but now, it seemed that his life span had been shortened by at least half. Oz looked at Cosmo in distress with tears welling in his eyes. He was very close with Cosmo, so he was heartbroken about his plight. He wished he could take Cosmo’s place. “It’d be great if I could go through the suffering on his behalf,” Oz said from the bottom of his heart. Alton sighed. There was no point in talking about it now. The pill was the only hope for saving his son. “Everything depends on this pill now. It’d be great if the store is telling the truth about the pill's effects.” Without any hesitation, Alton stuffed the pill into his son's mouth and wanted to help him swallow it.
Although the previous incident where Philip used a pill to save someone was quite amazing, it was not enough to convince Alton. Cosmo’s condition was different. A pill might be able to save an injured person but not necessarily his son. Reality proved him wrong. This pill was omnipotent and could handle any situation perfectly. Alton decided to bring his son to Treasure House. “Let’s go and thank the owner!” Alton said happily. Cosmo did not refuse. His upbringing taught him to repay kindness in kind. Although this incident sounded like a sales transaction, he knew that the owner of Treasure House was his savior. When they arrived, Treasure House was about to close for the day. The customers who did not manage to buy any pills were reluctant to leave. “Young lady, wait! Don’t close the door yet!” Alton anxiously rushed to stop Noelle and Aslan from closing the store. “Wait, I have something very important to say to you!” Noelle was puzzled. She remembered this man
“Is that really okay? We're from the countryside. It’s not appropriate for us to live in such a luxurious store!” They had to consider whether their actions would implicate others. The enemy would probably find them easily if they stayed in an inn. The probability of being discovered would be greatly reduced if they stayed in a private property like this. They were tempted by the offer but were also worried that it would bring trouble to Philip. “Don’t worry. No one can mess with me. I'm also curious what a man who looks like a beast is like.” The girl’s vivid description piqued Philip’s interest. “That guy is indescribably ugly!” The girl shuddered at the mention of the grotesque monster. She had never seen such an ugly thing before. While they were chatting, Alton walked in with the other two people. He did not expect to see Philip with guests. “Hello, we met this afternoon,” Alton greeted Philip. “I remember you. How may I help you?” Philip wondered. He could tel
The items sold in the store were enough to prove its background. “You paid money to buy my pills. It’s a fair transaction. There’s no need to thank me.” Philip could not care less about praise and fame. The room fell into an awkward silence. At this moment, Uno and the others suddenly recognized Alton. “A-Are you the mayor of the neighboring city?” Uno was shocked to find himself standing in the same room as the mayor. The others were surprised and reserved. Others might not know Alton very well, but Uno was well-traveled and could recognize the mayors of most major cities. Although he did not visit that city very often, he remembered the mayor’s appearance. “You have a good memory,” Philip exclaimed. Uno said in fear and embarrassment, “To be honest, different cities have different rules. Most cities require us to bow upon seeing the mayor. It’d be embarrassing if outsiders like us didn’t recognize the mayor.” Once, he was kicked out because he did not know the rules
Dos was very outspoken and started complaining after confirming their identities. “If we hadn’t encountered that weird person, we wouldn’t have to go into hiding.” Dos was unhappy but helpless. Philip became interested in this inexplicable incident. In this world full of practitioners, such inexplicable conflicts were almost unheard of. Every dog had its day. There was no guarantee that a rival would make a sudden comeback. It would be a nightmare if a rival became stronger all of a sudden. Therefore, no one would make enemies for no reason unless there was a valid reason for the grudge. Or unless it was someone already in a high position. Logically speaking, hunters had the best chance of becoming stronger. Hence, messing with a hunter was simply unheard of. “What does that man look like? Where did you meet him?” Philip was puzzled. All five of them were injured, and two of them required a pill to save their lives, so Philip was very interested in this powerful expert wh
The locals were curious. Of course, they knew Comet City. “Yes, that city is pretty impressive. I heard it’s very wealthy, and anyone who wants to live there must meet a certain requirement. In short, it’s a very complicated place,” Granite replied. They had considered settling down in Comet City but finally decided on Orbit City. Comet City’s requirements were too high for them. Ordinary hunters were not allowed to stay there permanently. They could only stay for a few days. Only talented high-achievers could stay there longer. Due to this reason, residents of Comet City were very arrogant and proud of their identity. Granite noticed Philip’s bewilderment and guessed that Philip was unaware of this. He patiently explained to Philip the disgusting aspects of this city. “That place is awful! Although it seems very strict and organized, everything is a mess. All the power is in the mayor’s hands, but he only cares about himself. He has concerns about justice and fairness!”
There was no powerful person in charge of Orbit City, so causing a scene here was the best option. If that person entered Orbit City, he would definitely take action when he saw Granite and his team. “In that case, we need to leave at once. We heard that Cosmo City is quite a good place. We plan to go there!” Granite said. Hunters always traveled around, so they were not reluctant to leave this place. Alton was surprised to hear their decision and smiled. “Cosmo City is at odds with Comet City. I think you made the right decision!” Alton praised. Indeed, Cosmo City developed well under his careful management. However, he was getting tired and became a little lax recently. Even so, that did not affect the city’s reputation in the slightest. The city was still a pleasant place to settle down. Hearing his high praise for Cosmo City, Philip had a guess. Alton was obviously from Cosmo City and held a high position. However, since he did not mention it, Philip would not ask eit
