“These items look valuable at a glance. They must be expensive.” “I believe any weapon here is enough to cause a sensation!” They knew these weapons were very valuable, and no one would be unmoved. Even some of the old hermits might be tempted, not to mention when there was such a large quantity of these weapons. “That’s right. Novak tried to steal these weapons when he saw them, and that’s a big violation. Besides, he was caught red-handed in the act. What do you think I should've done when the other party approached me?” Elijah threw the ball in everyone’s court. They were shocked to hear the truth. If they owned these weapons, they would be furious. Not to mention expelling the thief, they might even resort to killing. For a practitioner, a person's life was not worth mentioning. Upon reaching a certain level, it would not matter even if it was Novak. They could kill him whenever they wanted. In an instant, everyone thought the owner of the weapons was very graciou
Before Philip left, he found a carriage to transport him to Cosmo City. Since those people were paid to do the job, they hurried along and finally arrived at Cosmo City. At this time, Philip appeared in the carriage without exposing himself. After arriving at the destination, Philip pushed the curtain to the side and rewarded the other party with a few jade stones for transporting him so quickly. The carriage driver took the jade gratefully with an excited look on his face. It was his easiest job. All his previous jobs required more effort from him, but this guest traveled light, which added to his speed. “Thank you, sir. I’m at your disposal if you need me again!” The other party waved to Philip reluctantly. He wished he could become Philip's full-time driver. Philip paid the entry fee and entered Cosmo City. He was going to find Noelle next. If Philip was not mistaken, the crisis on the home planet would also endanger the Guzo Continent, but he did not know what the c
Philip laughed at the other party's cautious look. It was just a simple sheet of paper. Why would they go crazy over it? Philip walked to the newly opened Treasure House. Treasure House was not officially opened for business but at the renovation stage. Noelle decided to create some hype, which resulted in such a fuss. Philip walked to Treasure House and laughed when he saw the familiar decoration style. As expected from modern society, the style was very pleasing to the eye. Philip did not hide his presence, so Noelle immediately noticed him when he arrived at the door. She ran out with the others and stared at Philip with joy. “Philip, you’re finally here. We have been waiting for you!” Noelle said excitedly. Everyone rushed here to open the store so quickly that they were almost dead from exhaustion. A young kid stood next to Noelle. “Little Custard, are you doing well here?” Philip stroked his head. As an orphan, he did not have a name. After joining Philip, h
Granite frowned and cursed those people on Custard’s behalf. “They must've planned this! If Noelle didn’t have a secret technique for tracking down Custard, we would've lost him!” Granite smacked the table in anger. “Let’s put this aside for now. I believe the truth will come to light soon.” Philip felt that things were more than met the eye. There had to be a big secret behind this. However, the other party was lurking in the dark while they were out in the open, rendering them in a passive state. In that case, they could only wait and watch. When the other party exposed themselves, Philip would deal with them then. They had to be good enough to touch his people. Philip managed to voice Nolle’s thoughts, so they did not take action for now but simply opened the store and promoted it heavily. “By the way, the mayor dropped by once, but we didn't agree to cooperate with him. We simply said that we’d wait for your return. He wants a share in our business and to purchase p
Every pill could cure practitioners, but Custard used them on ordinary people. Although the pills were greatly diluted, Alton thought it was a waste of resources. Ordinary people were not worthy of these pills. They should fend for themselves if they were in poor health. Alton was very unhappy with Custard’s actions, so they decided to capture him. Before they succeeded, however, Noelle and the others showed up. In desperation, they could only flee to avoid any trouble. They even bribed the owner of that inn to leave. “Hurry up and prepare the things I asked for. I want to visit them soon.” Alton was impatient, not wanting to let this sweet deal slip from his fingers. The dark figure nodded and vanished from the room. If Philip were present, he would recognize this dark figure as Oz. Before long, Alton's gifts were ready, and he took Oz with him to Treasure House with a smile on his face. At this time, Philip was telling everyone about the impending crisis in the other wo
The others shared Philip’s thoughts. Everyone was wary and wondered what Alton was up to. “To be honest, I want to discuss a collaboration with you!” Alton cut to the chase, wanting to discuss a business deal with Philip. Philip knew Alton’s objective and would never give him a satisfactory answer. “Mayor, if you want a share of this store or reach an agreement to purchase pills from us, the discussion won’t be necessary. We want to run a neutral store.” Philip made his stance clear. If he were facing the mayor of Orbit City, Philip would have a nice chat with him. However, Philip did not have a good impression of Alton and lost all desire to talk to him. Alton scowled at Philip’s outright refusal. He was trying to find a way to persuade Philip to agree to the deal and even thought of an offer that Philip could not refuse. However, Philip simply rejected him before even having a discussion! Alton had never suffered such treatment before, so his reaction could be imagine
Oz was aware of Alton’s temper. Annoying him right now would be the same as seeking death. He did not want to die for no reason. At this time, one of Alton's mistresses ran to him in a panic. She did not notice Alton’s expression or mood. She simply wanted to jump into his arms and complain. “My lord, you have to help me!” Alton frowned at the other party, upset with this ignorant mistress. “What’s up? Spit it out.” She did not notice that Alton's mood was not right and hesitantly told him about how she was being bullied. “Your second wife…” Alton kept many women in the mayor’s residence, but not many people knew about it. These women would rank each other by number according to the order of entering the residence except for the first wife. This mistress was the last to arrive. She always threw her weight around because she was young, beautiful, and the most favored. Just like before, she complained about others. Under normal circumstances, Alton would help her. How
There was always a risk for women to be with a powerful man. They would die if Alton was unhappy with them. They just did not know their miserable fate when they first entered the residence. Alton would let them be when he was in a good mood, but it was obviously not the case now. That woman did not know how to size up the situation and forced Alton to take her side. It was a mistake for a woman to live a stupid life. Cosmo's mother had the highest status among all the women in the residence. As the mayor’s official wife, she was protected. “You shouldn't worry about certain things, so just leave them alone. That’s your father's business.” After saying that, she took a bowl of soup from the side. “I made soup with some spiritual beans from Guzo Forest. It’s good for you.” She wanted to play her role as a good mother and make amends for her son’s suffering over the years.… Meanwhile, Philip knew Alton would never give up. However, he put the matter aside and discussed
