The First Store System

Chapter 466: The Event(3)

“Oh,” Randolf replied and smiled, seeing Lenna’s smile.

“Do you want to come with us?” The figure suddenly asked.

“Are you sure?” Randolf asked in surprise. The power difference between them was too big even to put it in words, so if they found a treasure both of them liked, the situation would turn ugly for the figure.

“Yes, I don’t care about what I gain from the ruin, and you need as much support as possible in this situation,” The figure answered.

The figure was being a good friend as he could understand the situation Randolf’s Empire would go through if they didn’t find anything to support the Empire.

“I don’t have an issue with it if you don’t have one, but you should ask her first,” Randolf commented, hearing his friend’s answer.

Randolf had nothing to worry about from his friend, so there won’t be an issue with him even if they both liked the same treasure.

The figure nodded and then disappeared. He then took a step forward and appeared next to Lenna.

“Would you have an issue if we entered the portal with Randolf and his group?” The figure asked Lenna.

“You asked them?” Lenna asked. She couldn’t believe the naivety of the figure standing next to her.

Even standing so far, Lenna could see the power difference between Randolf and the figure. Even if they joined forces, they won’t be able to survive for a moment in a battle, let alone survive the entire group filled with Immortals.

“Yeah, what is your response?” The figure nodded and asked.

“No,” Lenna replied straight away. Even if she let go of her group members’ naivety, she wasn’t going to join groups with anyone since she had a deal with the store owner.

“Why?” The figure asked as he somewhat expected the response in his heart, but he didn’t expect her to refuse straight away.

“We already have a group and goals for entering the portal,” Lenna answered. She then turned around and returned her focus to the portal without explaining anything further.

Randolf heard the discussion between Lenna and his friend, so he gestured to his friend to stop his attempts at joining groups. He then took a step forward toward the portal while his group members followed him.

Time flew by, and several minutes had passed.

The time for the sun to set arrived, and with it, another round of darkness arrived in the life of the citizens of the Anga continent and Visteerna.

“It’s time for the store to close. If you’ve selected what you want to buy, buy them or return tomorrow to the store to select the weapon you like,” Aakesh expressionlessly told the customers in the weapons room, studying the weapons.

There were around sixteen customers in the weapons room. They were all here due to not being strong enough to enter the portal, and due to there only being less than half an hour left for the sunset, they weren’t eligible to enter Panagea or the training area.

Time flew by.

All the sixteen customers left the store, with only one of them buying a weapon since he was the only one satisfied with his choice of the saber in the sea of Emperor-grade sabers.

After the sunset, Lenna told the figure to wait for her, and she teleported to the store using the supreme card.

Since the store was open at that time, she teleported inside the store. She then turned around, exited the store, and started waiting there for Aakesh to close the store and leave with her for the portal.

After not a single customer was left inside the store, Aakesh stood up from his chair, took a step forward, exited the store, and closed the door, bringing another day for the store to an end.

“Let’s leave,” Aakesh expressionlessly told Lenna.

The next moment, all three of them disappeared from the street and appeared only a few steps away from the portal on the ground.

“The mountain has disappeared,” Lily casually commented as she jumped from Aakesh’s head to the ground and looked around.

“Yeah,” Aakesh replied as he also looked around.

The figure then approached Lenna. After suddenly disappearing, the next time she appeared, there was a person beside her. He understood that it was their third group member.

Aakesh sensed someone approaching them, so he turned his head around and noticed a mutant of two races.

It was a mutant of Oblivion Vampires and Moonlight Elves, with the Vampire bloodline suppressing the Elven bloodline.

The Oblivion Vampires had dark skin, black pupils, black hair, and two curved horns. The figure had the same features, except for the black hair and ears.

The figure had silver hair just like Moonlight Elves with streaks of black mixed in them, and like the Elves, the figure had pointy ears, but compared to the Elves, it wasn’t as sharp.

“So this is the third member of the group?” The figure curiously asked, seeing the blue-skinned man standing next to Lenna.

“Yes,” Lenna answered.

“What about her? Is she also a part of the group?” The figure asked, pointing at Lily, looking around her.

“Yes, I am also part of the group. Who are you?”

Before Lenna could reply, Lily responded.

“I am Norman. My father is the army head of the Empire of Vlad,” The figure introduced himself. He didn’t forget to introduce his father, as his father’s status would deter the man from taking any actions against him in the ruin.

Lenna could only laugh at Norman in his head, hearing him speaking of his father’s status. ‘Only if he knew about the abilities of the store owner, he wouldn’t dare to say this,’ She thought in her head.

“I am Aakesh. She is Lily,” Aakesh expressionlessly told Norman like he didn’t care about his father’s status.

Before the mission, Aakesh would’ve had to worry about his safety since he had to pay a great price if he wanted the system’s help outside the store. But now, he was already strong enough to destroy the entire Empire of Vlad with a single attack, let alone some army head.

“You’re here too,” Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice rang around Aakesh and the group.

They then turned around, only for Norman to get the shock of his life.

He saw the group of Void beasts approaching Aakesh of their own volition.
