“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
As a practitioner, he knew of Bijou Parlor, the huge background behind them, and how valuable their products were. Even in Comet City, no one would mess with Bijou Parlor no matter how arrogant they were. Bijou Parlor was practically taboo. Surprisingly, a store in this small city dared to challenge Bijou Parlor and succeeded. When the old woman realized that the man was still grabbing her, she thought he was still waiting for more information, so she said tremblingly, “I heard that the top alchemist went to Treasure House recently and announced that he was going into seclusion, but I don’t know if it’s related. Maybe you can find out more.” The old woman simply wanted the man to let go of her. “Where is this Treasure House?” Niffler immediately realized something when he heard about the alchemist. He finally realized why the other party came here. Top alchemists were a rare sight. They lived in the palace, so it was a hassle to see one. However, this alchemist came to Or
Noelle opened the door and glared at the visitor. “Can’t you see that we’re closed for the day?” Noelle snapped. Niffler sneered and said, “Who gave you the right to open or close your store as you please?” He was exasperated with this store. Other stores would stay open as long as they could, while this store opened whenever they wished. Was this the way to do business? He pushed the door open, walked inside, and started looking at the items on display. Since there were no personal things inside, Philip would not stop him from viewing. However, he would have to pay for his impulsive behavior. As most things were sold out for the day, there were few pills and weapons on display. Niffler sneered after one glance around and focused all his attention on a pill on display. This pill was the worst among all inferior products and could not contain its medicinal fragrance. Mila made the pill by chance, and Philip paid no heed to it at all. It was good enough for a beginner to
Niffler took out a pouch and poured the contents on the table. Money dropped in front of Noelle’s eyes. “Is this enough to buy your pill?” Niffler asked anxiously. He felt that money could make the world go round. He should gain something with this amount of money. Besides, he believed that Noelle would never dare to deceive him. “It’s enough to buy one.” Noelle smiled brightly at the sight of all the money. This man was quite rich. However, Philip did not intend to sell the pill to him. It was simply because of his ugly looks. At this time, Granite and the others hiding in the dark recognized this man. Granite was very agitated and wished he could kill this man. This guy hurt them and hunted them down without any mercy. However, Granite knew that Niffler was very powerful and could not be dealt with so easily, so he remained quiet. Granite believed that he would stand at the top one day. When the time came, he would seek vengeance on those who once messed with him.
