The First Store System

Chapter 1054: A New Day for the Store(2)

"Hello, store owner!" Jerome greeted Aakesh. His tone couldn't hide the anger hidden in his heart toward Aakesh.

Even though Jerome was frightened of Aakesh due to the people he saw and the beast's battles, his heart couldn't accept the loss of territory due to Aakesh.

The conquest of territories was the result of his hard work. He lost countless men of his race to reach where he was today. How could he accept everything changing just because of Aakesh?

If Aakesh knew why Jerome was angry, he would have laughed at him. After all, everything began with a misunderstanding of Aakesh's statement.

"Store owner, do you have any plans to open another branch in the capital city?" Jamie asked Aakesh.

Jamie could see Jerome, struggling to keep his emotions under control, so he decided to chime in. He didn't want to see the consequences of his father doing something he shouldn't have in his anger.

"No," Aakesh replied.

Jamie was disappointed in his heart, but he soon calmed down. Even though the store was in Thorr City, it was still under the Fawkes Kingdom's control for the next ten thousand years.

No one knew where the Fawkes Kingdom would be in that many years, as it wasn't a short duration for even the immortal citizens of the Sacred Dimension. It would have been trouble if the store owner refused them entry to the store, but since no such thing existed, Jamie knew he had to be calm and slowly grow himself and his people.

Jerome also understood why his son was doing this, so he stayed silent at the back.

Even though Jerome was angry with the store, it didn't mean that he didn't like the store's products.

After watching yesterday's battle, Jerome also wanted a beast for himself. But before that, they wanted to enter Panagea.

Asher and Alfred had already told them about all five store products available, so they didn't need an introduction from Aakesh.
"You will need to wait for five hours and forty minutes," Aakesh informed Jamie, making him disappointed.

Jamie then went to his father and informed him about the lack of empty spots available in portals.

Jerome harrumphed and then asked about the beasts. He was angry with his son also, as he signed the contract with the Vurrons without even telling him.

***

Jerome entered the beast's room, with Jamie following one step behind. As for Asher and Alfred, they joined the queue for the second group in Panagea.

Jerome took the lead in summoning, as he went directly toward the pillar, without looking around the room.

Jerome pressed the button, starting his summoning round.

The square light began to rotate at an unprecedented speed and stopped after the five seconds were over.

A beast known to Jerome then appeared on the screen, and soon after, a card formed out of nowhere and flew into his hands.

Jerome knew the beast, so he immediately went to the quality section. After seeing that it was only an ordinary quality beast, Jerome didn't waste time looking at its skills and placed the card in the returning section.

He then pressed the switch again. The square light began to rotate while "1" appeared on top of the screen.

Similar to the last time, it was another beast of ordinary quality but even weaker than the previous one.

Since Jerome's state of mind wasn't great due to the circumstances, it became even worse, making him more irritable.

At that time, Jamie silently took two steps back, not daring to meet Jerome's eyes at that moment.

Time flew by, and Jerome was closer to exploding when he pressed the switch again.

The next moment, the four on top of the screen turned into five while the square light began to rotate at a quick rate.

Five seconds passed in a flash, and a beast never before seen by Jerome appeared on the screen.

Jerome's eyes were cold when the card flew into his hands. He immediately focused on the quality section.

When he saw that it was supreme, his eyes lit up, and he finally moved his eyes up, looking at the beast's name.

[Name: White-Spotted Mosquito

Type: Beast

Race: Mutant

Quality: Supreme

Element: Metal

Cultivation: Peak Divine Lord

Ability:

Metal Slash: The White-spotted Mosquito can use its sharp claws to slash through metal objects and armor, dealing heavy damage to its enemies.

Heat Blast: The White-spotted Mosquito can focus the heat generated by its metallic body into a concentrated blast, dealing heavy damage to its opponent.

Metal Reflect: The White-Spotted Mosquito can create a shield made of metal around it. It would reflect half the damage at the attacker.

Metallic Glide: The White-Spotted Mosquito can use its metallic body to glide effortlessly through the air for a short period.

Card Description: The White-Spotted Mosquito is a majestic and powerful creature. Its attribute of metal makes it a formidable opponent in battle. This card can be used to summon a powerful monster onto the battlefield, capable of dealing massive damage to its opponent. Use it wisely, and watch your opponents fall before the might of the White-Spotted Mosquito.

Price: Thirty-five thousand higher Sacred stones.]

Jerome read the details of the White-Spotted Mosquito on the card.

It was a mutant creature born from the corpse of a metal elemental creature. It was a giant insect, measuring twenty feet. Its body, wings, and legs were all made of metal, making it a resilient beast. It had one white spot on each of its slightly golden wings, hence its name, White-Spotted Mosquito.

Jerome didn't care about the appearance of the beast but only about its quality and skills. Its quality was supreme, so he achieved his first requirement, and then the skills were also to his liking, so the beast ticked all the boxes for Jerome.

Jerome didn't need to summon anymore, so he turned around and told Jamie to do the summoning.

Thirty-five thousand higher Sacred stones was a considerable sum for Jerome. But since he was a ruler of a territory, he could take that amount from his accumulated wealth over several million years.

When Jamie reached the pillar, he also set some requirements, and they were the same as his father's.
