The First Store System

The guard wanted to extort some Primal stones from Aakesh since there was no entry fee to enter the building, but the glance from Aakesh scared the guard so much that from that moment, he stopped attempting the mischief again.

There was a vast power gap between Aakesh and the guard, but the experiences Aakesh had made him far superior to the guard. The massacres he had committed in the Conspiracy continent were more than the number of people the guards had killed in his life.

At the same time, majesty came naturally to Aakesh. When the guard had looked at those indifferent cold eyes, he had felt himself standing in front of an Emperor that could kill him at any moment.

Unaware of what Aakesh had done, he entered the building. Not long after, Lily entered as well. If Lily desired, she could have hidden her aura and observe the situation, but Aakesh was against it, so Lily openly traveled to the building.

“Hmm, someone has come to meet us,” A Guhyaka mumbled after getting the information.

People coming to meet the members of the Gupta family was standard, so they didn’t make a fuss about it.

Due to the supposed curse, rarely did people, who had ulterior motives, come to meet Guhyakas. The majority of the time, the people coming to meet the Guptas were either customers or someone who wanted to join the business.

“Botar, go and meet this gentleman,” The Guhyaka in charge of meeting people ordered one of her underlings.

“Yes, madam,” Botar respectfully accepted the order and left the building to meet the supposed person.

In reality, Botar and the Guhyaka were part of one family, but when it was business time, all the family members were strictly professional.

Aakesh was currently sitting on a sofa. It wasn’t as comfortable as the one Aakesh had in store, but Aakesh was never one to complain or care for these things outside the store, so he silently sat there and waited for any Guhyaka to meet him.

Aakesh wasn’t the only one in the room. There were several people like him who had come to meet the Gupta family members.

Most of the people in the room had one of the Guhyaka conversing with them. Everything that was happening in the room was in Aakesh’s sight, so he also heard the conversations going on between the representative of the Gupta family and other people.

Since the representative of the Gupta family wasn’t here to meet him, Aakesh made himself busy by listening to the conversation of the people and Guhyakas.

The person sitting seven people away from Aakesh was a big customer as he was here to make a trade in bulk for a Universe. The Gupta family representative also respectfully treated the man as the trade amount reached several million supreme Primal stones, which wasn’t a huge amount, but also not a trivial sum that the Gupta family could ignore.

Aakesh then sensed one of the Guhyakas entering the room. Aakesh then found the Guhyaka approaching him, so he stopped listening to other conversations and focused himself on the man.

The Guhyaka in front of Aakesh looked similar to other Guhyakas, but the man’s belly was too big for someone of his stature. At the same time, the man was only a Houtian level cultivator and looked to be around twenty.

“Hello, dear sir. I am Botar, a representative of the Gupta family. What brings you to us,” Botar respectfully introduced himself and asked Aakesh for his purpose of meeting the Gupta family.

Botar had spoken in the language of Elves since it was the most known language in the Primal dimension in the ranks of higher-level cultivators due to Elvish’s close proximity to magic.

Botar’s tone contained a hint of respect and nervousness. After standing in front of the blue-skinned man, he could sense that the man was too powerful. In spite of the creator’s ability to kill those who harmed Guhyakas, Botar didn’t care much about it since he would also get killed by the man first.

“I am Aakesh,” Aakesh introduced himself in Guhyaka’s language. His face contained a hint of a smile since he was here to accomplish a trade.

At the same time, Aakesh had activated the title, Myrioglot, to make a good impression on Botar.

Botar couldn’t help but feel a hint of a surprise after hearing the blue-skinned man speaking Gahaka, the language of Guhyakas. At the same time, Botar couldn’t help but have a good impression of Aakesh due to that.

“Oh, you know Gahaka. What can I do for you, Mr. Aakesh?” The smile on Botar’s face widened as he asked Aakesh with a laugh. The earlier nervousness in his voice also disappeared.

“What’s your rank in the family?” Aakesh asked Botar.

Botar couldn’t help but get stunned after hearing Aakesh. If it were someone other asking this question, Botar would have unquestionably taken some offense. But since the impression of Aakesh in his heart was good, he didn’t mind it.

“Not much, Mr. Aakesh. Do you want to meet some higher-ranking member of the family?” Botar respectfully responded.

“Borat, don’t take offense. It is just that the things I am here to discuss can only be discussed with leaders of the family,” Aakesh laughed and told Botar.

The impression of Aakesh became even better in Botar’s heart as he communicated with his grandmother without wasting any time.

Not long after, Botar succeeded in arranging the meeting between Aakesh and his grandmother.

“Mr. Aakesh, my grandmother has agreed to meet you. She is one of the seventeen leaders of the family and has a large role to play in any decision-making,” Botar smilingly told Aakesh. His tone contained a hint of accomplishment as arranging someone’s meeting with his grandmother wasn’t an easy task.

“Haha, thank you, Botar! I would be sure to talk some good things about you to your grandmother,” Aakesh laughingly told Botar.

Botar only laughed in response to Aakesh’s statement. He then asked Aakesh to follow him, but soon, he stopped after seeing a big cat-like creature following Mr. Aakesh.

“Haha, look at me, how forgetful I am. This is Lily, my daughter,” Aakesh laughingly told Botar after seeing him looking at Lily.
