Philip did not expect to find such good wine here.
As Philip was about to relax, he heard a knock on the door. He then opened the door and saw a beautiful young
woman who seemed to be a jewel in Sand City.
Seeing at her, Philip was amazed.
Her bright and clear eyes had a trace of charm, and her exotic face was from another culture.
"What's up?" Philip asked with a smile.
The young woman said, "Excuse me, I'm your neighbor. The child you met just now was being insensible. The sea
buckthorn wine we sold is only three hundred energy stones. I want to return the change to you."
Philip said, "It's okay... This wine is delicious..." He shook the wine bottle in his hand as he spoke.

"If possible, you can deliver a few bottles here every day for as long as I live here." Philip said.
Hearing this, the young woman kept thanking him.

The next day, the little girl came again.
When she saw Philip, she said, "Brother, I'm sorry for yesterday.."
"Oh, it's okay. Your wine is delicious." Philip replied with a smile.
The little girl said, "I just want to help my mother repay the energy stones my father owed..."
Philip learned of the family's woeful tale.
When the young woman's husband died, he left a huge debt behind, which became a burden for the mother and
daughter. However, Philip was not obliged to help them repay the debt. He was not familiar with them at all.
Besides, according to his understanding, those debtors were obviously not after energy stones but the young
woman.
Less than three days later, Philip heard noises next door in the middle of the night.
"Haha, have you got all the energy stones?"
Philip heard this voice in his room and looked outside through the window. He saw a group of people with five-star
strength in front of the young woman's door.
"Haley Summer, let me tell you, if you don't pay us a hundred thousand energy stones today, your daughter will
die."
After the man finished speaking, the young woman, Haley, said, "Wasn't it ten thousand energy stones? How did it

"Haha! You need to pay interest on borrowed money, you know!"
"Exactly. What do you take our Sand Scorpion Guild for?"
"Haley, I think you should just be with our guild master. You won't have to pay back the money, and your daughter
can live a blessed life too."
As these people spoke, Philip scoffed.
It seemed that such things were common occurrences whether it was on the ancestral land or Starfall Continent.
"Mom, don't go with them. They are bad guys!" The little girl spoke aloud.
Hearing the little girl, the underlings said, "Oh, here you are... You came out by yourself!"
"Hey, she looks so pretty. She'll be a beauty when she grows up!"
They walked up to the little girl, and Haley exclaimed, "No!"
Seeing this scene, Philip shouted angrily, "Get lost... Don't disturb my sleep..."
