Chapter 6345

Philip nodded. “Do I have to order something else?” A hint of realization flashed in Philip’s eyes. He realized what was going on. The woman had the ability to bewitch the customers by affecting their thinking and emotions through singing and inducing them into spending money. She exuded a special charm to attract the customers even though she looked ordinary. In their minds, she was an unattainable goddess. Everyone saw a different woman in their minds but charming nonetheless, tempting them to spend money on her even though it would cost them all their fortune. However, Philip was different. He could control his emotions very well, so this woman had almost no influence on him. He realized this problem when he first heard that mysterious song. The waiter scowled and finally left the private room in horror after much deliberation. Philip did not say anything at his hasty departure. The woman quickly left the stage after playing her zither, and the bewitched customers gradually woke up. Carlos looked around in a daze as if he were searching for the woman’s whereabouts. “Why did I feel like I was in another world just now?” Carlos said blankly. He felt that his soul had been purified. He had no idea what he had said or done earlier. Philip shook his head at Carlos’ reaction. They had been bewitched but had no idea what happened. Adam frowned blankly. He felt something was wrong but did not know the specifics. He was nervous and felt like he had done something wrong. “Oh no, I have a feeling that something terrible has happened. Have I lost my mind? Why do I suddenly feel uneasy?” Adam said in confusion. Adam was smart enough to realize that something was wrong with him. Philip simply smiled. “When the woman played her zither just now, all of you seemed enchanted, digging your money out and placing orders from this tavern. I checked the price and found out that the food in this tavern is very expensive, easily thousands of crystals per dish!” Their price list was placed in the open where anyone could see it. Adam scowled. Based on Philip's description, he knew that he had been bewitched. If not for Philip’s reminder and his keen senses, Adam would not have noticed any anomaly and would patronize this tavern again. He felt a lingering fear at this thought. “I’m glad that you kept your wits around or we’d be in trouble this time. However, I believe they have been using this method to trick their customers for a while so they must be very familiar with it. If we didn’t go with their wishes, is it possible…” Adam thought of the long-term consequences and worriedly considered how to avoid trouble.
