The First Store System

“Fine, since you don’t seem to change your mind, I wouldn’t attempt to stop you anymore,” Clamont gave up and decided to stop suggesting Aakesh for not going in search of the ruler.

‘I’ve already repaid my favor by warning you of the dangers of the ruler,’ At the same time, he added it in his heart.

Aakesh expressionlessly nodded, hearing that Clamont wasn’t going to bother him any further about the ruler. If not for their respectful treatment, Aakesh would’ve already left this place.

Since he couldn’t kill the ruler here after his treatment of Aakesh and similarly, Clamont was also an Immortal inside this territory, so Aakesh had to now leave on foot and continue for another month.

“Father, I also want to go with him.”

Clamont had only stopped suggesting Aakesh not to go when he heard a familiar voice coming from his left.

A stumped expression appeared on his face as he stared at his eldest daughter, Clara. Clara was the one who suddenly requested to go with Aakesh.

“What do you mean by that?” Before Clamont could say anything, his wife, Chrysant, asked Clara with a grave expression on her face.

“This place bores me. I want to go for an adventure with uncle intruder,” Clara sincerely answered her mother.

Even though Clara and Clamont’s other children referred to Aakesh as uncle, in reality, all of them were older than Aakesh.

It has only been around eighty thousand years since Aakesh had opened his eyes. Even Clamont jr., the youngest of the children, was around a million years old, let alone others who were even older.

“Why are you being unreasonable?” Clamont asked his daughter.

Aakesh had no interest in the family’s conversation, so he stood up from his chair and left for his journey while the family was busy bickering.

Time flew by.

“Clara, he had already left,” Chrym, who had been silently listening to his parents and siblings bickering, finally opened her mouth and told Clara while pointing at the empty chair where Aakesh once sat.

The group bickering came to a sudden stop as Clara and Clamont looked at the empty chair at the same time.

“Father & mother, please let me go,” Clara asked her parents for the umpteenth time. Her eyes got watery since she decided to use emotional blackmail on her parents since nothing else was working for her.

“You are more than ten million years old. Stop acting like a baby,” Chrysant scoffed, seeing Clamont having a change of expression after noticing the moist eyes of his eldest daughter.

“Father,” Clara ignored her mother and looked toward her father since her father seemed to be the first to break down and accept her request.

“You don’t understand the consequences of your action,” Chrysant, still not melting with her daughter’s expressions, told Clara with a stern tone.

Clamont, who seemed to be on the verge of accepting Clara’s request, also had a sudden change in his expression after hearing what his wife said.

“He’s going to meet the ruler, and most probably, he would either offend the ruler or even have a fight with him.”

“Him dying doesn’t matter much to us since I already repaid my favor by warning of the dangers of the ruler to Aakesh.”

“If you leave with him, you would also get involved with the ruler. I have no worry about myself since even the ruler can’t kill me inside any land on this territory, but your mother, Chrym, and Clamont jr. don’t have the same luck,” Clamont told Clara with a grave expression.

He didn’t want to refuse the request her daughter made, but the consequences were too much for him to accept it just for the love of his daughter.

Clara didn’t know what to say at that time and fell silent. She wanted to leave with Aakesh as it would be an adventure for her, and she was bored here, but no amount of feeling for leaving with Aakesh wasn’t more than the safety of her family.

“Why do you think Aakesh wouldn’t be able to kill the ruler?” Chrym, who had only spoken a sentence up to this point in family bickering, suddenly asked her father.

Chrym stopped referring to Aakesh as an uncle intruder since he had already left.

“He is too weak to stand up to the ruler even for a moment,” Clamont responded straight away, as if what he said was something not even worth thinking about.

Despite being the middle child and being over several million years older than Clamont jr., Chrym was the weakest in her family group when it came to strength. But when it came to intellect and intelligence, she was the first.

“You underestimate him,” Chrym also commented straight away.

“Uncle intruder, wait.”

Aakesh suddenly stopped in his steps as he heard a familiar voice coming from the sky behind him.

Aakesh turned his head around and looked at the sky, only to see Clara flying toward him.

“Can you take her with you?”

Another familiar voice rang in the area as Clamont appeared a step away from Aakesh.

Claudio and Chrysant accepted Clara’s request to go with Aakesh after hearing Chrym’s arguments in Clara’s favor.

Now that they’ve agreed, it was time for them to ask for Aakesh’s permission since he also needed to approve taking Clara with him on his journey.

“No,” Aakesh refused in response to Clamont’s question. At the same time, Clara also landed next to Clamont.

“Take her with you. She can help you in battles and your journey,” Clamont told Aakesh.

Now that he had accepted Clara’s request, he wanted to do everything in his power to make Aakesh agree.

“She would let me sit on her,” Aakesh asked, hearing Clamont’s statement, and looked at Clara.

Aakesh didn’t need Clara for his battle, but since she could fly and at a quicker speed severalfold than he would be able to walk on foot, he could think of taking her with him.

***

“The next territory belongs to…,” Clamont told Aakesh as he dropped Aakesh and Clara at the edge of his territory by teleporting him. It reduced a month of the journey to only a second after Aakesh accepted to take Carla with him.

A/N: There would be only one chapter at this time. I will upload the next chapter later in the day. I still owe you one more chapter, and most probably, my debt will get cleared today.

Thanks for reading my book!
