“Shopkeeper, is the inventory in your warehouse all sold out? The roads between all cities have been disconnected, so I guess you can’t receive your shipment,” someone said doubtfully.
Philip closed the store simply because the Cod family messed with them. Thus, they would not open for business until their mood became better again.
Philip was not only taking a break but also shifting the blame.
Over time, however, the customers started wondering if they made this announcement because they were running low on inventory.
Philip laughed and showed them a handful of pills that favonovel.com had taken out of his pocket.
“Do you think I don’t have enough inventory? I’ll only start opening for business officially when the Cod family decides to apologize to me formally. I can start by selling some pills tomorrow, but every customer has to provide identity verification.”
Philip was clearly saying that favonovel.com would not sell pills to the Cod family.
Everyone was finally relieved. It would be best if Philip was willing to sell something again. Ordinary people like them would have every right to make a purchase.
“It’s best if you’re simply targeting the Cod family!”
“To be honest, we don’t like them either. We’d like to kick them out if we could!”
“Have you seen the stores they opened recently? They’re simply ripping us off! They’re trying to take advantage of the chaos to make a fortune from us!”
Everyone had their grievances. The Cod family had opened various businesses.
Their inns and restaurants were very expensive, completely out of reach of ordinary people. Other restaurants and inns in the surroundings had been so badly affected that they were on the brink of collapse.
The current economic situation was already in decline at the point of recession, making it difficult for most businesses.
At first, all the stores supported each other and continued operations. However, the Cod family started to target them, and they could not stand it anymore.
“Please help us deal with the Cod family! They’re simply atrocious!”
“If you can get rid of the Cod family, you’ll be our hero!”
Everyone begged Philip from the bottom of their hearts, putting all their hopes on him.
Philip was puzzled by their faith in him.
“Why don’t you report this to the mayor’s office? Tell favonovel.com to solve this problem.”
This has nothing to do with me… Why come to me?
Did they think I am a savior?
A man was very upset and said, “We’ve reported this incident to the mayor, but we haven’t heard any response for several days!”
