This was a rare opportunity, and 20% was a huge sum of money. However, Jeff had overlooked Alton’s appetite! To Alton, 20% was not worth his time. “That’s too little. I’ll consider 40%,” Alton voiced his thoughts. “Cosmo City is now the center of attraction drawing forces from all walks of life. Many people have approached me, but the Cod family is relatively larger compared to them. I have to take a lot of risks to support you. “Of course, most importantly, you want to deal with Treasure House.” Alton smiled. To be honest, he would not deal with Treasure House without help from others, but the Cod family wanted to do it single-handedly. “Do you know anything about Treasure House at all?” Alton raised his eyebrows mockingly. Jeff scowled darkly. He never expected Alton to be so greedy to ask for 40%. Jeff had found out everything about Treasure House and wanted to seize it. The things sold in the store were top-notch, and the business was so good that even the Cod famil

Vance roared in anger and dissatisfaction. “Hey, don't say that. He’s doing all the errands. We need someone like him to do that. Your grandpa took him in just for that reason, so don’t take it to heart!” Emma’s explanation was very shocking, and everyone stared at her in angry disbelief. They preferred Jeff, who was always fair and hardworking, compared to the arrogant and domineering Vance. Jeff returned to the inn at that moment and heard everything clearly. Emma’s words left his heart cold. Indeed, he was an adopted child. He knew that he was different from others, so he had always worked hard and tread carefully to make a living in the family. He did not know these people looked down upon him so much. Jeff was upset but showed no signs of it. Vance’s mother, Emma, held all the family’s finances in her hand now. He had to please her to get the money. In turbulent times, they had to have money in hand. Jeff quickly came up with a plan to deal with these people. When

The Cod family used the same method against the mayor of Breeze City. Jeff quickly returned to the mayor's residence and conveyed Emma’s message, “We agree to give you 40% of the turnover, but you have to do some things for us. We need to build our residence and store.” The two quickly decided on the plan, but Alton had already implemented his plan in the background. The Cod family wanted to use him to deal with Treasure House, so he could turn things against the former. Alton’s many spies had found out about the conflict between Vance and Philip. That was why they could not wait to get back at Philip. What happened at Treasure House was not a secret. The news spread like wildfire, and everyone soon heard how Vance was kicked out. It was a fatal blow to the superior Cod family. Alton smiled and found some people to act as the guards of the Cod family to mess with them. “Oz, get some people to cause trouble in the name of the Cod family. Try to shift the blame and make them

Philip had no grudge against Jeff, so he was not bothered about the latter’s disguise. “Shopkeeper, I want your pills and weapons,” Jeff said anxiously. He was in a hurry. The Cod family was waiting for him to return to the inn. Granite pointed to the sign at the door. “I’m sorry, sir, we’re not open for business yet. Please come back in two hours.” Granite's words left Jeff in despair. Although he seemed to have his freedom, Emma was wary of him. Everyone kept an eye on him, so he had few opportunities to come here to buy things. “Don’t be so impatient, sir. Haste makes waste. If you come tomorrow, you'll be able to see a new product for sale. They're very rare in this world, so you can come by tomorrow if you’re interested.” Philip smiled. He could tell that this person was not short on funds. Outsiders were not aware of their business hours, so Philip was unfazed. “Can you tell me what it is?” Jeff was curious about the new product. These pills and weapons were mor

Noelle was sent flying before she even realized what was going on. Even if Noelle did not face the opponent head-on, she could tell how strong it was. In a clash of the titans, they often only needed one strike to know how strong the opponent was without fighting to the death. “What?” Granite exclaimed, shocked that Noelle was no match for the beast. He knew how strong Noelle was because he once overestimated his ability and challenged her. As a result, she easily took him down in a few moves. Even after his strength had improved now, he had no way to defeat Noelle, which proved how powerful she was. If such a terrifying existence could not withstand the beast's attack, how strong could the beast be? “I sense that the beast isn’t very intelligent. It has been walking and stopping along the way, so it hasn’t even left the forest yet. If it were a fully mature beast, many cities would've been destroyed by now.” Noelle was worried. The strength of all the beasts in the fores

Everyone discussed solemnly. They knew that the situation was serious but were helpless. At the same time, Philip announced the launch of a new product tomorrow. Everyone was in an uproar at the news. They were already excited enough with the pills and weapons, and some people even took their purchased items to bed. Everyone looked forward to the launch of the new product. The two notices on the board quickly attracted everyone's attention, including Alton. After hearing about it, he remained skeptical about Philip’s remarks. “I know that their store employee, Noelle, went out recently. That woman is very pretty.” Alton envied Philip for recruiting such a beautiful woman as a store attendant. If not for the fact that he could not touch Philip now, he would have taken Noelle under his wing. He doubted that Noelle was a powerful woman, so he subconsciously believed that Philip was lying about everything. “Don’t be fooled. That information is definitely fake. I’ve never hear

“Oh no, I didn’t know they’d be selling something like this. I’m sure I didn't bring enough money!” “That’s right, I’m just here to buy a pill, but they launched such a treasure. I don't have enough money!” The people at the front of the line grumbled worriedly under their breaths. They knew that the ring would not be cheap, and some people wanted to ask if Philip was willing to put it on credit. The people lining up behind them were happy. “Don’t buy it if you don't have money. Leave it to us!” “Paupers should stop wasting their time here and give up all the good stuff!” Seeing that a fight was about to break out, Philip quickly stopped everyone. “Everyone, please be quiet. The first five people can register their information with me. If they can raise the money within half an hour, the item will be theirs.” The first five people in line breathed a sigh of relief at Philip’s words. They became excited and quickly gathered around to register their information. Jeff cl

Philip only planned to run this promotion for three days. 15 rings should be more than enough. Oz strolled to the door of the store in disguise, not about to line up. He did not expect to see so many people queuing up at noon. It was very noisy as if everyone was complaining about something. “Shopkeeper, sell us more!” “That’s right, we want to have one too. We don’t mind paying more!” “Forget 30,000 energy stones, I’ll offer 100,000! Sell me one!” Everyone chattered, urging Philip to sell the storage ring. However, Philip ignored them. He sat aside and watched as Granite and the others got busy. These items were limited, so they could not blame him if they could not buy one. Oz approached curiously. He grabbed a passerby to find out what was going on. The passerby vividly described the incident to Oz. Oz was dumbfounded. “Are you sure about this? This store is selling those legendary storage rings? Is it a scam? Could it be an ordinary ring?” Oz simply could not beli
