The First Store System

Chapter 282 - Dragon Reborn

Chapter 282: Dragon Reborn

Aakesh, unaware that his store products were used for politics, was playing with Lily in the store. Even if he knew about the plans of the Elven family, he wouldn't have cared much since it would only make his sales better.

The Elven group was discussing how to use this information about the store to their leverage when Elasha suddenly chimed in and asked, "What do you think the store owner would have answered?"

It made both Ivanar and Shalia stop for a second. They were discussing the information when their mother suddenly asked a different question.

After falling silent for a moment, Shalia responded, "No!"

Ivanar also nodded, hearing his wife. Only an idiot would try to cut his share in a deal just because the second party brought a third person into the foray. The Elves were unaware that Lenna hadn't even tried to ask Aakesh for a cut. She wanted to maintain a harmonious relationship with Aakesh and the store, so she didn't dare to bring that topic up.

"The store owner is someone who doesn't care much about the items, so maybe he would have agreed," Elasha responded with a strange expression on her face.

Ivanar couldn't help but shake his head disappointedly, seeing the expression on his mother's face, while Shalia heaved a disappointed sigh.

"Mother, I still don't believe in your findings," Ivanar told his mother.

"Hmph, what do you know of higher beings?" Elasha scoffed, hearing her son.

A few days earlier,

The group of Elves had returned to their place after leaving the store.

"What did you feel when you saw the Dragon?" Elasha asked Lenna, while her face was filled with emotions and excitement.

Lenna couldn't help but smile wryly since her grandmother had asked her this question for the umpteenth time. Her grandmother, who always stayed calm and composed, turned into someone entirely different whenever she talked about Dragons.

"It was like, I was seeing the beginning of everything," Lenna responded for the umpteenth time. 

"Of Course, Dragons are known to exist from the beginning of the Multiverse," Elasha excitedly responded in response to her granddaughter.

Ivanar and Shalia only shook their heads as a wry smile appeared on their faces. They were already used to this behavior from their mother whenever anything related to Dragons happened. She acted the same when Lenna had told her about the Draconian in the store, and she's acting the same now that Lenna has seen a live Dragon.

It was also the first time Ivanar had seen his mother getting jealous. Even though she had controlled herself in the end and didn't ask for Lenna to let her see the Dragon, she still was jealous of her granddaughter for seeing the Dragon.

"Do you think the store owner is the clone of a Dragon in the Primal dimension?"

The family was excitedly discussing the meeting of Lenna when Elasha suddenly chimed in.

A pin-drop silence appeared in the place as Lenna, Ivanar, and Shalia looked at Elasha with dumbfounded faces.

"Why would you think that, grandmother?" Lenna asked after calming down with a curious look on her face.

"I'm not sure. But, I just feel like it…," Elasha then began telling the family behind the reason why she thought that.

Elasha had three reasons for coming to this conclusion. First, she believed Aakesh was a clone because she couldn't see his fate lines. It was as if he didn't exist in the Primal dimension.

The second reason she had was Aakesh knowing the purest form of Draconian, a language that only higher-level Dragons in the third dimension knew.

The third reason she had was letting Lenna meet a Dragon. According to all the texts the Elves had regarding Dragons, one thing is common between them, "Dragons are selfish and arrogant creatures."

They only respect the Dragons with higher levels of bloodline than them, and all the other creatures are just lowly beasts for them.

So she believed that the life Dragon met Lenna and talked to her was because Aakesh was a higher-level Dragon than him.

Lenna's eyes shined, hearing Elasha's explanation. Ivanar and Shalia looked at each other and couldn't help but smile wryly.

Both Lenna and Elasha were obsessed with Dragons since Lenna has always been very close to her grandmother since birth even more than her parents.

***

Elasha and Ivanar began arguing about Aakesh's misunderstood identity in the store, while Shalia had a smile spread across her face, watching the mother and son arguing.

Like Ivanar, she also didn't believe in Elasha's explanation about her conclusion. But when Ivanar was already fighting for the truth, why would she join the fight and face her mother-in-law, who always went crazy when things related to Dragons happened.

While the pair of mother and son were arguing, Lenna had completed her training hour, so the system had forced her out.

Like the other customers who had completed their training, the system sent her into another space and brought her back into the store after her energy had calmed down.

After exiting, she checked her body, only to find that there had been no cultivation increase. But when she checked her sea of consciousness, an uncontrollable wide smile behind her mask spread across her face.

The Tao Palace that had germinated from the Tao of archery after she had attained the breakthrough to Tao Palace, had now grown almost to the size of a small world.

It signified that her comprehension had already reached the peak of Tao Palace. She only needed the energy to gain the breakthrough now.

She finally looked around her and noticed her grandmother and father arguing about something while her mother was enjoying the show.

She didn't disturb her father and grandmother and went to her mother. After learning the reason behind the argument, she cheered for her grandma since she believed in her.

The pair of mother and son stopped arguing about Aakesh's identity, after Lenna joined them. The next moment, they were overjoyed as they saw the growth level of Lenna.

"Let me see your power," Elasha told Lenna and pointed at the testing slab not far from them.

Since the store was only around an hour away from closing, there were very few customers inside the weapons room.

Lenna got her turn to test her power after waiting for only a few minutes.
