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
With that thought in mind, Niffler controlled his anger and took out some energy stones. “I’ll buy one.” He had never bought a pill from this place before and did not know how good it was, but it could not be that bad with so many customers around. Niffler bought one at random and left. To everyone, he seemed like he was running away in embarrassment. The old men laughed at Niffler’s hasty retreat. They were hired to buy pills. Although they were not paid much, it was easy money that they could earn every day. Philip knew that someone was doing this but paid no heed. These pills had been diluted to a certain degree. By controlling the quantity, he could ensure popularity. His pills were much better than those found on this continent, but the effects were not so significant, and they were expensive too. After Philip’s adjustment, all the pills were no different. Philip was not worried that someone would buy his things and use them against him. If they had the guts to d
Anyway, anyone who turned up was a guest. Since this was the last visitor, Philip would oblige. Philip was surprised and puzzled to see an old acquaintance. “Oh, it’s you! Why are you here and dressed up as a beggar?” Cosmo Kean stood with a hint of confusion in front of Philip too. There was no need for Cosmo to be disguised as a feeble beggar if he was here to have fun. Philip could not help but feel that this fragile beggar would breathe his last at any minute. Cosmo smiled as he used a bucket of water to wash the makeup from his face. He entered Philip’s store and seemed very friendly. “My savior, I can’t bear it anymore!” Cosmo cut to the chase. Before this, Cosmo admired his father very much and kept his words to heart. After he woke up from his coma, however, Cosmo discovered that his father was a different person. Just the number of mistresses alone made him sick. Cosmo could not trust a word his father said now, which led to an underlying conflict between the t
“My dad heard about this woman from somewhere and took her as his mistress!” Everyone was shocked to hear this, but it was difficult for outsiders to intervene in other people’s family affairs. “So, you want to take action because of this?” Philip asked. This reason was far-fetched but not unreasonable. Cosmo nodded. He found it difficult to talk about it, but that was the fact. He could overlook his father’s actions of manipulating those women at will, but he was after the girl of his dreams this time! More importantly, his father knew the feelings he had for this woman! However, Cosmo buried his feelings because he was grateful to his father for all he had done for him. A few days ago, the girl of his dreams sat crying under a tree with thoughts of attempting suicide. She was an ordinary person, not a practitioner! Under such circumstances, she had no other way out. Cosmo became a different person because of this incident. He had to seek revenge and make things difficul
