The First Store System

After the customers chose their product choices and went for it, only Aakesh and a group of people were left in the store’s hall.

The group consisted of more than a hundred people, with one existing at the center of all the attention.

Since customers buying cultivation arts could exit the room anytime and approach him, Aakesh didn’t begin his relaxation session. He focused on the group.

The group consisted of one hundred and twelve people belonging to a race unknown to the Primal dimension.

For Aakesh, who was the store owner, it was easy to see through the disguise of the people.

Even though the people belonged to a race not known to the Primal dimension, it was nothing but a disguise as all the one hundred and twelve people belonged to the Sun Elves.

In the group of the hundred and twelve, only one was a female Sun Elf, while all the remaining one hundred and eleven Sun Elves were male. From their formation and the way they looked at the surroundings, the 111 people seemed to be the guard of the female.

All the one hundred and twelve Sun Elves were peak Immortal, signifying that they had used a good quality traveling talisman to descend to the Primal dimension.

Aakesh, who had already reached the limit of the Primal dimension, felt threatened by three of the one hundred and eleven guards and the female in the group.

The quality difference between the talismans used in the group was evident from the sense of danger Aakesh felt from the group.

Aakesh only felt a sense of danger, not him being weaker than the four people like Lilith. Aakesh then moved his eyes away and let the group judge their surroundings.

“So, this is the store my brother came to,” The female standing at the center of the group mumbled as she looked at her surroundings.

The female was none other than Elle, William’s sister. After Asquith visited Andrew in an illusion, Adam passed an order of not searching for Aakesh. At the same time, he conversed with Elle and sent her to the Primal dimension since she was the primary reason behind William descending.

“Master, this place gives me a sense of danger,” One of the guards communicated with Elle mentally.

Among the one hundred and eleven guards, three were her own protectors, while the other one hundred and eight guards were sent by her father, Andrew, to help her do chores or other minor things. It was also the primary reason behind the difference in talisman used by the guards.

Elle nodded in affirmation since she herself had the same feeling from the store.

“Eh!”

The three guards and Elle suddenly exclaimed in surprise as they felt someone peering through their disguises. Their eyes fell on the mysterious blue-skinned store owner, who was indifferent looking at them. The next moment, he moved his eyes away.

Elle and the three guards looked at each other and could see the surprise in their eyes.

In the Sacred dimension, the three protectors of Elle were no ordinary characters. Their cultivation level had reached the peak of the Sacred dimension, and the same was with Elle, who was only a sublevel away from the peak. Their senses and intuition were different from others, so when Aakesh saw through the guards’ disguise, those four were able to sense it.

“Gean, do you know the race of the store owner?” Elle suddenly asked one of her three guards.

Gean was the oldest in the group and had lived for several Epochs in the Sacred dimension. His knowledge about different races exceeded the majority of the scholars in the Multiverse, so Elle went to him after not recognizing the race of the store owner.

“Forgive me, princess. This old man is unable to recognize,” Gean apologized, resulting in a look of shock on everyone in the group.

Gean’s answer surprised even Elle, but soon she nodded as she remembered the conversation with her father.

Even their ancestor Asquith was unable to comprehend the extraordinary features of the store, according to her father. So having a store owner from an unknown race to them wasn’t a big stretch compared to what she had learned from Andrew.

Andrew had sent Elle here with a mission. The first was to support William since Asquith had taken fancy to him and had high hopes for William. At the same time, she also needed to grow with him since after talking with Elle, Andrew understood that Elle was the reason behind William’s actions. He also believed that William respected Elle the most in her sibling group.

Since the future wedding between William and Elle was bound to happen, Andrew wanted to create a power couple for the Sun Elves that may even transcend the glory of Asquith, their primogenitor.

Elle clearly remembered the conversation between her and Andrew since it had only happened a few minutes before for her. It was only due to the fast time rate in the Primal dimension that a day had passed here.

Elle then discussed a few more things with her three protectors. She then ordered her one hundred and eight guards to connect with the Sunlight Elves without her appearing here getting known to William. She wanted to let him know by herself and not by other means.

After the people left, only Elle and her three protectors were left in the store. Elle then looked at her three protectors, and they understood her intentions.

They moved away and got ready in attacking formations if something were to happen to Elle. They could sense that they would be able to do nothing inside the store, but that didn’t take away their will. They were here to protect Elle, so they would only do that without caring about the situation and their opponent.

Elle took a deep breath and approached Aakesh with a solemn face as if she was going to fight a battle.

“Are you the store owner?” Elle asked Aakesh. Her tone was expressionless.

Aakesh didn’t speak anything in response but only nodded his head.

“Did you see through our disguises?” Elle then asked as the sudden feeling of getting peered through still remained in her mind.
