The First Store System

Chapter 277: The Deal

Aakesh could see the events outside the store, but he only took a glance at it and stopped watching it.

Since there were only the last three hours left before the store would close for the day, the number of customers entering the store had decreased by several times.

He was relaxing on his chair when he suddenly felt teleportations inside the store. He looked up and found out that it was the group of Elves that had entered the store.

Now that Aakesh remembered, he hadn't seen the group of Elves in his store for the past few days. 

After appearing in the store, the group of Elves approached Aakesh.

"Hello, store owner," Lenna, Elasha, and Shalia greeted Aakesh while Ivanar expressionlessly stood in the group.

Aakesh nodded in response to the group's greeting. He then looked at them to find out the reason behind them coming here this late.

"Store owner, we want to train in Gods & Demons level training area," Elasha smilingly told Aakesh.

After hearing that a single training hour cost a trillion supreme Primal stones for Immortal-grade weapons, the group has been preparing the required amount for the entire group to have a single hour of training.

Lenna's training only cost one million supreme Primal stones. She could have it anytime she wanted, but she had refused it. She didn't want to have the training when others in her family weren't able to have it.

Even though the group of Elves belonged to the Faero family, one of the top three Moonlight Elven families, they still couldn't take out such a big amount since they weren't the only family in the Faero family. There were tens of thousands of peak Immortal experts in the Faero Family that were spread across the entire Primal dimension.

Elasha majored in divinity, so she had enough Primal stone for her training, but her family needed one and a half trillion more if her son and daughter-in-law were to have the training.

During the past few days, the group using his connections was gathering enough Primal stones for all of their training at the same time.

Finally, after the hard work of a few days, they successfully gathered the remaining one and a half trillion supreme Primal stones.

Elasha several times thought that what if the benefit of the training didn't outweigh the expense? Every time, a single answer appeared inside her head in response, "It isn't possible!"

Because of Lenna's encounter with the Dragon, their God, Elasha, and her family member's belief in the store had almost turned to the point of reverence.

Aakesh neither knew what efforts the group committed for the training nor did he have any interest in knowing it. He was a store owner, so as long as customers paid for their services, anything else didn't matter.

He nodded in response to the group, and the next moment, an alert of successful payment of three trillion and one million supreme Primal stones appeared in his head. Since the payment had been done, he told the group about the process to enter the training area.

The group thanked Aakesh and then went in the direction of the weapons room,  except Lenna. The group didn't mind her stopping, as if they were already aware of the reason behind her stopping.

"Senior, you remember the deal between us," Lenna commented after her family members had left for the training area.

Even though she had gotten benefits that she had never imagined, Lenna still didn't forget the primary purpose behind her appearing here.

Aakesh nodded in response. How could he forget about the dimension-scale event that would occur around the Mysterious Peak?

He still remembered the boy, Turta. The boy's identity was one of the very few things that had made him curious, so how could he even forget about it? He was eagerly waiting for the event to come since there were only around two weeks left.

He also remembered that he had made a deal with Lenna when she had entered the store for the first time. They had agreed to share their gains from the event at the rate of 50-50.

Even though both the parties had something else on their minds regarding the deal and had only agreed to it on the face, it was still a deal.

"What about it?" Aakesh further asked.

"Store owner, we have a new member in our deal," Lenna responded as a wry smile appeared on her face.

Even though Aakesh had already made several deals worth a trillion supreme Primal stones for the Gods & Demons level training area, it was still a large sum of money in the Primal dimension. Even the top organizations would need to think carefully before spending.

Elasha only had one piece of information that could help her gain a large amount of money, so she used the information about the future event to earn around 300 million supreme Primal stones.

Lenna didn't want this to happen, but she had no choice since Elasha found the training area to be more worthy than the event that would occur. The reason she believed it was because she couldn't divine anything related to the training area. And also, there wasn't a complete chance of Lenna gaining something from it.

Elasha only allowed Lenna to participate in the event was because she found through her divination that only she would survive out of the four of them, no matter in what case they joined the event.

Panagea also allowed growth without any risk for all of them.

If she hadn't divined that Lenna had a 99% chance of surviving the ordeal of the event, she wouldn't have let her join it after finding out about the store.

"What has that got to do with me?" Aakesh expressionlessly responded to Lenna after hearing her. He further added, "You can add as many members as you want in the deal, but my share in the gains would always be 50%."

"I understand, store owner," Lenna responded. She had expected Aakesh to refuse to give his share of gains, so it wasn't surprising to her.

"Do you want to know about the man?" Lenna asked.

"No!" Aakesh bluntly refused and then closed his eyes.

Lenna was already used to such behavior from Aakesh, so she didn't mind.. She thanked Aakesh for understanding and then left for the weapons room for her training.
