The First Store System

Chapter 1087: Old Customer!

After stopping Ayriel, Aakesh showed interest in her life, shocking her. Still, Ayriel didn't hide many things except for her motives, and she told Aakesh about what had been going on between the siblings for the past month.

"Store owner, will you support me?" Ayriel asked suddenly after concluding her experiences.

Support doesn't only mean the support of subordinate groups but also allies. Ayriel knew nothing about the store owner's race, but she knew one thing Aakesh was someone bigger than the Moon Elves.

Aakesh's apparent interest in her life was a significant reason for Ayriel's question, so her eyes were filled with anticipation.

"No, I don't involve myself in royal struggles," Aakesh immediately refused. He only cared about what was going on with Ayriel because of her physique. It didn't mean that he supported her side.

Ayriel, who had a burning hope in her heart, became disappointed by Aakesh's straight refusal. But soon, she calmed down as it was more of an expected outcome.

***

While Ayriel and Aakesh were having a conversation inside the store, a scene was playing out on planet Moonshine.

"I vow to remain loyal to master majesty for eternity!" Ladriel vowed under the eyes of Ayana's guards.

Ladriel's eyes showed struggle since she hadn't even informed Ayriel about it. Ladriel thought of doing it, but before she could, the group of guards surrounded her and ordered her to take the vow of loyalty.

Ladriel owned the Ultimate Store Card, so if she wanted, she could teleport to the store or any other chosen coordinate at any time. But Ladriel knew one thing—she wasn't Ayriel.

If she dared to refuse the guards, only death awaited her on the other side. Since the situation was like this, Ladriel had no choice but to follow the vow, and soon it was complete.

The next moment, the cold eyes of all the guards changed, and from this moment on, Ladriel was one of them. There were seven Moon Elves in the group, but then six of them teleported, leaving only one Moon Elf with Ladriel.

"Your cultivation is very low…"

The next moment, the guard explained Ladriel's duties to her. Due to her low cultivation, her status was that of an assistant to one of the assistants to the head guard.

After explaining Ladriel's duty, the guard left. The next moment, Ladriel's expression turned ugly. She thought that Ayana wanted something from her, and that's why she took her away from Ayriel, but things turned out to be completely different.

Ladriel thought of Ayriel's reaction and couldn't help but grow tense when suddenly a past memory flashed in her head.

The memory was related to Elasha and how, despite only being an early Divine Transformation, she stood in front of Ayriel and signed the contract.

Ladriel knew that if Ayriel found out about her intentions to use the store to bargain with Ayana, she would explode in anger and even kill her for betrayal. But Ladriel knew it was the only way she could support Ayriel. Even if she died doing it, so what? She would succeed in her task of helping Ayriel get closer to her goal.

Meeting Ayana wasn't easy, but as soon as she told the guards that it had to do with Ayriel, no one stopped her, and she immediately found herself in front of Ayana.
Ayana looked at her with cold eyes as she surveyed her body. Ladriel felt herself standing bare in front of Ayana with no secret of hers. She had even emptied her mind, as she couldn't let anything about the store spill out in her thoughts.

"Master majesty!" Ladriel kneeled with her face touching the ground.

Ayana nodded and waved her hands. The next moment, an invisible energy appeared around Ladriel and covered her.

At that moment, Ladriel felt countless needles pricking her skin. She even felt blood spilling out, but when she looked at herself, there was no sign of injury, only the feeling of needles piercing through every part of her body.

"What deal do you want to make with me?" Ayana's voice was cold as she asked.

Ayana hadn't lived that long for nothing. She knew everything that was happening with her daughters, but it was just that she didn't care about it. The only reason she supported Ayina for the next top position was because of her devious character. She didn't care about what kind of havoc she would unleash on the race.

If there was someone who hated Moon Elves, it was Ayana. If not for the rules blocking her from taking drastic measures, she would have long turned all this prosperity into a tragedy.

Unaware of the currents going on in the Sacred Dimension due to the pair of mothers and daughters, the inhabitants lived as usual.

Planet Duran, Galaxy Tronka, Universe Gulom,

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Sounds of metallic clashes rang in the area as two opponents faced each other.


"I WILL KILL YOU!" One of the opponents roared as his hands expanded and he slashed, cutting through the sound.

The other side's eyes were filled with playfulness while a cruel grin spread across the man's face. He brought his sword and immediately destroyed the momentum of his opponent.

The first man gritted his teeth. It was a humanoid creature with a towering physique. The man's eyes were red from anger, and his facial expression showed hatred for the opponent.

Hartol didn't seem to care about his opponent as he slashed again. His sword was like the command of Gods. With every slash, he created a new injury on his opponent's body.

"YOU EVIL BASTARD!" The opponent suddenly growled. This time, his entire body expanded like a balloon while heavy pressure began to permeate the space.

Hartol's playful eyes turned solemn, and soon they turned into a mixture of disgust and anger.

The sword in his hand became so quick that at the same time, tens of thousands of afterimages appeared.

The man looked at the scene in front of him with misery, and soon, the world around him turned dark.

At his last moment, he remembered his happy family.

Hartol couldn't help but spit at the pool of blood spreading around him. The next moment, a smile spread across his face, and he took a deep breath.

The smell of blood filling the air was like a panacea to him as his cheeks turned rosy and his eyes showed an expression of fullness.

After a few seconds, Hartol turned around, randomly chose a direction, and decided to proceed in it.

Hartol was from the Primal Dimension and ascended after the improvement in the training area. His ascendance was normal like others, but something happened when a higher being gave him unprecedented power.

The power didn't come without a cost, as his character turned bloodthirsty. If he didn't commit a few hundred people every day, his head would start aching.

"Planet Curiel; Fawkes Kingdom; Thorr City; Seventeenth Street!"

Hartol suddenly mumbled as a new piece of information appeared in his head out of nowhere.

Hartol didn't have to think long about what was behind the information. The moment he received the power, he knew that the being wanted him to act against the store owner.

Hartol stopped in his ways and decided to follow the direction. But before that, his eyes fell on the village in front of him.

A few hours later, there was not even a single living soul left in the village. What was left were only the corpses, the destruction, and the smell of blood lingering in the air.

***

"Store owner, I will go to Panagea," Ayriel said after the conversation between the two was over.

Aakesh nodded and closed his eyes, returning to his relaxation session.

Ayriel didn't waste any time and went toward the portal room. She chose the 3x stay since 35 lesser Sacred stones or 1425 lesser stones didn't mean anything to her.

***

Time flew by, and hours passed.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

Aakesh was relaxing on his chair when he heard the sound of footsteps coming from outside the store. He opened his eyes and turned in that direction. A duo stood outside the store, with one of them being a familiar face.

The other was unfamiliar, but Aakesh's face showed a slight change since the system just informed him that the second Moon Elf was a peak Sacred Creator. The duo was none other than Ayana and Ladriel. Soon, Aakesh's face returned to normal; he had seen creatures of the Primordial Dimension, and a Sacred Creator meant nothing in front of them.

Ayana raised her eyes in surprise as she stood in front of the store. Ladriel stood behind her,  her face expressionless.

Ladriel failed to make any deal with Ayana as her mental barriers were nothing in front of Ayana, and she uttered everything smoothly. Ladriel couldn't help but feel shame when she remembered Elasha's struggle.

"So, this is the store that gave my daughter the confidence," Ayana mumbled, curling her lips in a smile.
