Sure enough, the other monster beasts were caught by horror and disbelief after getting the rings too. They checked their rings with pride, excited to get a storage ring. This thing was so rare that they had not seen one before, but they received one so effortlessly now. Khan excitedly grabbed Aslan, who was caught off guard and almost stumbled. “Tell me how you got these rings!” Khan wished he could get into Aslan's mind and find out the truth. Aslan shrugged and said, “The kids made the rings, and that’s their teacher.” Aslan pointed to Philip, leaving Khan in disbelief. He never dreamed that these things belonged to Philip. “How can you own so many storage rings at such a young age, and how can your people make these things?” Khan asked in confusion. Khan was not interested in the smithing technique. After all, monster beasts were unable to make pills or weapons by nature. He was just curious about Philip’s background which allowed him to develop his force so lavishl
Aslan nodded. It was all thanks to Philip. He was very lucky to have Philip teach him. “I'm different from them. They learn really fast, but I can only make a little progress with Philip teaching me step by step. In fact, this is my limit. Philip suggested that I should forget about alchemy, but I think I did good enough for a monster beast.” Philip was not aware that monster beasts could not make pills. He simply thought Aslan was not cut out for it. Usually, Philip only had to guide them a little for them to improve by leaps and bounds. Aslan, on the other hand, required his personal guidance to master the technique. As a monster beast that could breathe fire, Aslan could not even control fire properly! Philip went to great lengths to teach Aslan how to make pills and finally gave up. Aslan simply had no talent for it and would be better off just being a bodyguard. After Khan received Aslan’s affirmation, he turned to Philip with blazing eyes. “Everything is like a dream!
Philip shrugged and asked someone to invite Elijah over to give Khan a surprise. When Elijah appeared, Khan almost had a mental breakdown. Since Elijah was here, it meant he was at his wit's end and came here for help. “You look familiar. You should be that kid from back then. Don't tell me...” Khan said in despair. Elijah nodded in embarrassment. He had met Khan on several occasions. However, he was very young back then, so he did not expect Khan to have an impression of him. Khan was dejected by Elijah’s response. He turned to Philip and forgot all about alchemy. Everyone would perish if this matter was not handled well. “I don’t know what to do, but I've joined forces with all the major guilds to deal with those creatures together.” Elijah knew that Mistral Temple was not as strong as before, but with Philip's help, he managed to gather many forces together. They could play a big role at critical moments. Khan nodded helplessly. He was not very confident about joinin
Philip handed a storage ring to Aslan and asked him to distribute some things. “Give these pills to everyone. We’re likely to face various dangers from now on. It’s important to restore our strength quickly.” There were various pills to heal injuries, restore energy, and improve their strength. Philip also prepared a lot of herbs for them. Compared to people from Mistral Temple, the monster beasts were more of his own. Seeing this, Aslan was excited and knew what Philip was up to. “Don’t worry, Philip. Leave it to me!” Philip simply nodded. Aslan took his father and the others to the room, leaving Elijah behind. Elijah knew that Philip had given them a great opportunity. He wanted to request for the same but stopped at the thought of his identity. Philip had given him enough weapons, and it was already a great favor. There was no need for him to request more. “You can tell them more about the sealed land when you have time and discuss with the other guilds to find a way
Alton scowled. Who was not having a hard time? “Have you heard of Treasure House?” Mark asked worriedly. He wanted to seek Alton’s help to get rid of Treasure House. However, Mark had no idea who stood behind Treasure House, so he could not help but worry. He was guarded against such an unfamiliar force. Alton glanced at Mark with a glint in his eyes. He was just about to seek Mark’s cooperation to deal with Treasure House, but Mark turned up at his door first. In that case, he would speak his mind. “Treasure House isn't only going to increase the popularity of my city, but it can also drive economic development here. Why do you think I should help you?” Alton spoke directly, obviously asking for benefits. “Bijou Parlor has always been sharing long-term profits with you. Once our business is affected, your profit will drop significantly too. It won’t be that easy to find someone to treat your son by then,” Mark said. Mark was quite confident that Alton would remain on h
Mark finally realized Alton’s objective. He felt that Alton was a hypocrite. He could just say he wanted more money without going in circles. They had been working together for so many years and had forged a deep friendship and rapport. Mark did not expect Alton to beat about the bush this time. Mark nodded and said hesitantly, “I’ll give you another 10% of my turnover.” It was a huge concession for Mark as 10% of the turnover was not a small amount. In the past, Alton would have agreed without a doubt. After all, he needed money to cure his son, and with such a big mayor's residence to support, he was always short of funds. However, things were different now. He no longer had any pressure, and his property issues had been resolved. He could negotiate business with Mark without any worries. Philip’s store opened at the right time. Not only could it help Alton raise the price, but it could also force Mark into a corner. Alton rejected Mark’s suggestion. “That amount do
Alton’s remark was like a bolt of lightning that struck Mark into despair. If Treasure House employed the same operating model, Bijou Parlor could do something along the way. However, it was very extreme for the other party to have their own alchemist. With an alchemist, they could continuously provide supplies for their store at any time. Alton smiled at Mark’s desperation. “If you can get hold of their alchemist, I can consider keeping the original price and just charge you ten percent for the information. If you can deal with it, I won’t take 50 percent." Alton was quite generous in giving Mark a chance to salvage the situation. Whether Mark succeeded or not, it was no loss to Alton. Mark nodded. This was undoubtedly a good option. Although Alton went a little far, it was the best way to handle it. In this way, not only could he gain an alchemist but also tide over this crisis, which was good. “They live in the backyard of Treasure House. The alchemist is a young kid
Alton was in a great mood as he anticipated what would happen next. He finally had the chance to earn back the fortune he had spent over the years, so he was ecstatic. Mark left the mayor's residence unhappily. He had resented Alton for ages. Alton had always been greedy and obnoxious. Alton had been eyeing his business all this while. Mark would have been deceived by him if he had not been smart enough. However, Mark did not blame Alton on account of his son. Alton just wanted to find someone in Cosmo City to protect him. Alton must have spent a lot of money to save his pitiful son, so Mark could understand his situation. Now that his son was cured, however, Alton took advantage to ask for more. What else could it be but greed? “Damn it, even when your son was suffering back then, it didn’t stop you from enjoying yourself. With so many women in the mayor's residence, no wonder your son ended up that way!” Mark cursed as he walked away, disappointed in Alton.… In the mean
