Magic Shop System

Chapter 102 - Starting Of The Convention



"I don\'t have time to deal with clowns," Kadyn said. He looked at Khrom, then continued. "Chase him away — if he tries to resist, break his legs and arms. At least we can use the chicken to scare the monkeys."

Khrom nodded and walked towards the man who stumbled back apprehensively. He pointed at Kadyn and said. "Do you know what kind of mistake you are making? I would suggest you change the location of your shop. Or, you will regret later."

"Take him down." Kadyn snorted. The man already had evil intentions towards him and his shop. Why should he be lenient with him? Though Kadyn knew that it might bring troubles for him. He also couldn\'t show any weakness, or people would take him as a pushover. Give an inch and they\'ll take a mile. That was the nature of humans.

"Alright, alright," the man with staff said when he realised that his threats weren\'t working. "I\'ll leave this time, but you will pay for your arrogance in the future. The House Wynner isn\'t something that someone like you can contend against." He eyed Kadyn again deeply before turning to leave. "Let\'s go." He scurried away with his companions, not even looking back.

"This is bad," Barret mumbled with a grave face.

Kadyn turned to look at him and asked. "You know something?"

"The House Wynner is one of the great noble houses in the Orddono City. Their family leader is Rank 2 Magus." Before Barret could tell him, Hot Rod explained, his tone grave, and eyes serious.

Kadyn frowned. "I don\'t understand. How did we offend this House Wynner?"

"I think they did because they felt threatened." Hot Rod said, thinking briefly. He went on when he felt everyone\'s attention on him. "The House Wynner is the one of the biggest suppliers of the weapons in the Shado Empire. They even have business ties with the people outside the kingdom." He paused, then continued. "I think they felt offended when they saw our shop."

"Shop?" Kadyn asked.

"Yes," Barret nodded from the side. "Haven\'t you noticed that our shop is far more attractive than any shop in this gathering? Even those," He pointed at the shops in the distance — two or three stories tall — and said, "aren\'t able to compare. It isn\'t weird that you attracted the ire of others. Especially those arrogant noble houses. How could they let someone unknown embarrass them."

Yes, Kadyn thought. His shop was far more attractive than anyone here. It would make people jealous and especially Great Noble Houses — they would feel humiliated when nobody\'s shop is better looking than them. 

Kadyn snorted and started to walk towards the shop. "Everyone gets some rest. We need to work in the morning. As for troublemakers," he paused and looked at everyone with his blue eyes. "Next time if they come, make an example for others. Let them know that we are no pushovers." Then he scrambled into the shop.

"Wow, Kadyn looks so cool when he is acting domineering," Zelie said with shining eyes like a fangirl.

Elora rolled her eyes at the girl but then frowned. "I just hope that it won\'t backfire." She muttered. Kadyn was rash but she was cool-headed and could weigh the pros and cons of the situation. 

—— 

The sun shone in the northeast, spreading its illumination in the darkened sky, announcing its arrival to the world. The clamours sounded all around the place, as people ran from here to there. The tents had vanished while in their places people had built trading posts, booths, and stalls. Some were selling herbs, some precious stones, some of them were selling metals and a few were selling weapons. 

All kinds of things could be found in the gathering. Some of them even had Common Rank Materials that were almost impossible to buy in Avibria City. But they were in small quantities. After all, they were just low-level vendors. One or two Common Rank material was already beyond their capability or it might attract greedy eyes. It could become their misfortune if they could not protect it. 

"Wow, it\'s so beautiful." Zelie and Elora strolled the market, glancing here and there with curious gazes. At this moment Zelie\'s gaze was shining as she looked at the precious gem on a booth. It was greenstone, shining with lustre, and as the sun rays fell from above, it only became finer and prettier. Attracting Zelie\'s beautiful gaze towards itself.

"I think we should return," Khrom said from behind with a worried face. "There would be customers to deal with in the shop today. We can\'t roam around like this." 

Zelie pouted, hearing him, but didn\'t retort. "Brother Khrom is correct. We need to return." Elora nodded and the group walked away. Zelie looked around a few times reluctantly and also stumbled through the crowd.

The vendor — who was eyeing the group expectantly — cursed at his bad luck. He hadn\'t gotten a single customer yet, and the one who seemed to be interested in buying his goods was dragged away by her companions. Such a stroke of terrible luck.

No one noticed that not far away from the booth stood two men. If Kadyn was here he would be able to recognise one of them. He was the same man who went to cause trouble yesterday night, standing behind another man with a staff in his right hand. However, at this moment, he appeared rather tamed compared to yesterday. 

"They are the people from that shop, Ish?" asked the other boy with a nonchalant voice. He placed both of his hands behind his back and peered towards Elora, Zelie and Khrom with his deep eyes. He had fair skin, tall body, but he seemed rather scrawny, not muscular; on the contrary, he seemed malnourished and dark circles were visible under his eyes.

"Yes, Sir Jefor," said Ish fawningly. "They were quite arrogant yesterday. Not putting House Wynner in their eyes. They even mocked me for being too arrogant."

"Is that so?" Jefor asked.

"Yes, yes," the man with a staff said. "I didn\'t want to upset you, that\'s why I kept my mouth shut." A cunning light shone in his eyes as he went on. " But the guilt gnawed at me from inside since then. I couldn\'t stop myself from telling you, Milord."

Jefor Wynner tightened his grip on his sword on his waist and a vicious glint shone in his eyes. Then he said, "Keep watching them. Inform me when those two girls go out once again."

Ish curled his lips triumphantly when he heard Jefor. He peered towards Kadyn\'s shop with a cruel smile. You dare to insult me, huh? I\'ll make you cry tears of blood, just you wait.

"What kind of weapon do you want to buy, Mistress." An excited voice of a girl asked. Beside her there was another girl; she seemed eighteen or nineteen years old. She had long sexy legs and tan skin, her eyes were wide and beautiful. Dark and deep. She had a slim waist and bouncy boobs. Her long black hair waved with a passing gust of wind, reaching her round butt. The girl wore an emerald dress. 

Though she wasn\'t as white as snow and as beautiful as a heavenly goddess. She had her own charm that could captivate anyone. As she walked with a steady people peeked and stole glances of her from the corner of their eyes.

The girl acted as if she didn\'t see their gazes and continued to walk. Then she replied to her servant girl tersely. "I want to buy a dagger."

"Mistress, have you decided you answer?\'\' The girl seemed quite talkative. As soon as she got the answer to her first question she asked another.

"What answer?" the girl asked confusedly, glancing at her servant girl. Though the servant girl had fairer skin than her, her temperament was nowhere near the woman in the emerald dress. She could not compare to her in sexiness. One could easily distinguish who was a master and who was a servant. That\'s how vast the difference was between the two.

"Ahhh, you don\'t even remember." The maidservant said regretfully. "Forget it, I asked. I don\'t think Mister Vled has any chance."

Hearing her maidservant\'s words, the girl rolled her eyes and continued to walk. But then she paused suddenly. Huh?" she looked in front of her in surprise.

"What?" the servant girl saw her confused expression and also turned to look in that direction. There stood a shop, grand and dignified. It had a weird charm, attractive, and mysterious. That would make anyone curious about it, and near the door stood a plaque with the support of a pole that read: Weapons and Potions Only. 

The maidservant exclaimed. "That\'s a new shop. I never saw this before. Which noble family does the shop belong to? Why there is no board of their names. Divine Lion Magic Shop. Strange."

"Let\'s go check out." The tan-skinned girl said, after a brief silence.

"But Mistress, Master said that the Wynner family sells the best quality weapons." 

"I just want to check out. I didn\'t say I would buy anything. I\'m just curious." The shop looked amazing. Before the servant girl could protest, the girl had already walked towards the entrance. 

"Wait for me." The maidservant followed hurriedly.

As the duo reached the entrance they eyed two lion statues for a moment in surprise. They looked too real. But then they entered the shop. As they wanted to know if it was all hat and no cattle. Or there was more to this shop than meets the eye.
