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

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

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

Even though Granite had joined Philip, he was just an ordinary subordinate. His life was not worth mentioning, so why would anyone do anything to him? “Maybe they’ll try to pry information from you or use you to threaten me.” Philip had no idea what they would do, but these people were not easy to deal with. Custard nodded in agreement. “Come to think of it, I think I saw a tattoo on someone's hand before I passed out. It was a design of a withered flower!” Custard exclaimed as if this thought suddenly crossed his mind. Philip smiled. Since Custard could recall some details, it would be easier for them to determine the identities of his attackers. At this moment, there were more than Alton’s people in Cosmo City. Niffler brought Scarlet to Cosmo City too. Although he was immune to Scarlet’s charm, it could enhance their relationship. As soon as he entered the city gates, he saw the overwhelming flyers of Treasure House, and Scarlet became sullen. Although Scarlet no lon

“Other than that, I can’t help feeling that something is wrong lately. It seems like something dangerous is about to happen. Do you think the beasts in the forest are about to escape?” Although Figo was weak and stupid, his senses were quite keen. However, his words never had any influence. No one would believe the words of an idiot, including his mother. “Don't think so much. If the beasts can attack our city so easily, why would people be living here?" Most people in the Larson family scoffed at that statement, doubting that the beasts would break through the barrier and enter the human world. Figo felt uneasy, so he packed his things and got ready to leave. He awkwardly gave his mother a random excuse. “Mom, I'm going to Comet City and Cosmo City to see if I can find any opportunities!” If his mother had chosen to believe him, he would not have left so impulsively. Now that no one was willing to believe him, he could only find a hiding place quickly. They could die if th
