The First Store System

Chapter 731: Benefits

“Yes, I am a store owner,” Aakesh smiled after seeing the look of surprise on the Gupta family member’s faces. He then snapped his finger once again, and soon, square cards appeared in the hands of every Guhyaka.

“You only operate one store?” Tapi couldn’t help but ask as all the cards contained the details of the same store.

Aakesh only smiled in response.

“Since you only have one store, then why are you competing against us for our customer base?” The family head asked. His eyes were blazing with anger since Aakesh had already shared the reason behind him acting against the business families earlier in the conversation.

“I don’t think a single store can handle our consumer base, let alone other business families,” The family leader added, gritting his teeth and ignoring the illusion he had just seen.

“You don’t need to worry about that,” Aakesh smiled. The quest wanted him to prove the superiority of the First Store and grab the consumer base of one leading business family with some conditions, and Aakesh was only doing that.

The way things had gone, Aakesh was confident that he wouldn’t need to go to another family after this. His quest was almost on the verge of completion.

“So, what do you think of the differences between the products I sell and the products your family sells?” Aakesh didn’t give the family members any chance to think and directly asked the main question.

Aakesh didn’t worry about the dishonesty of the Gupta family members since another reason for him choosing the Gupta family over the Harlaq family was the sincerity of Guhyakas when it came to business.

The seventeen Guhyakas’ faces turned terrible as they fell silent and looked at each other. Their faces only turned uglier after understanding the emotions racing in the family member’s hearts.

Aakesh didn’t interrupt or urge the family members to answer since the family business worth quadrillions of supreme Primal stone was at stake here.

Time flew by, and the family leader finally broke the silence.

Before speaking, he looked toward his other family members and could see the look of resignation in their eyes. He took a deep breath and answered, “Sir, there is no comparison between the product sold by you and the product sold by my family. I have no regret in accepting the failure of our family.”

The family head lost all his strength after speaking these words and slumped down on his chair while his face turned pale. It was as if the family head had aged tens of years in a moment.

The smile on Aakesh’s face disappeared, and calm took its place since smiling at this time while all the Guhyakas had crying faces could come off as a show-off.

“Sir, even if your products are superior, it’s not like we can give up on our family business,” One of the Guhyaka decided to rebel since the bet had been forced on them from the start. If, in place of Aakesh, there was some other person, the Gupta family would have thrown them away. It was just that Aakesh was too strong and made their guards scared for their lives.

Aakesh was already ready for this response from one of the Guhyakas since the item at stake was even more important than life to the Gupta family.

“I know, the world only runs on benefits. You don’t accept the bet from your heart, but when you read the benefits I am going to give you, you would pray to your Gods for giving you such opportunities,” Aakesh expressionlessly responded.

The Guhyaka couldn’t help but look at each other with looks of surprise in their eyes. They couldn’t even imagine any benefits that could make them give away their several quadrillions worth of business and, even more valuable, their consumer base.

The system had always been fair in its trade. The system also knew what was at stake for the other party here, so it had provided benefits for the opposite party.

Even Aakesh didn’t know of the benefits the system was going to give to the family. Only after the family head of the Gupta family accepted the store product’s superiority over the Gupta family’s products did the system inform Aakesh of the advantages the Gupta family was going to get for him.

The quest wasn’t over until the other party relinquished their business and transferred their entire consumer base, but all the work had been done when the party accepted the store’s products were superior.

The benefits the system was going to give to the Gupta family weren’t endless but it depended on their consumer base. Since the Gupta family didn’t need to transfer their earnings to Aakesh, the equal exchange between the worth of the consumer base and the advantages provided by the system got activated.

“Sir, what benefits do you think are worth giving up on our family business and entire consumer base?” The family head asked while the other family members protested toward the head.

Asking for the benefits implied that the family head had at least an idea of doing what Aakesh wanted from them.

The family head ignored the protest of the other sixteen Guhyakas since the business was only honorable if both parties stood by their words. In spite of the fact that they had been forced into the bet and also feared Aakesh, they still participated, and the family head would honorably stand on it.

The smile returned on Aakesh’s face as he waved his hands, and the next moment, a paper appeared in the hands of the family head.

[The benefits by The First Store to the Gupta family if honorably they were to accept the result of the bet:

Ten virtual portals(Ask store owner for more details),

One training area((Ask store owner for more information),

One Immortal-grade cultivation art of their liking.]

The family head’s lips twitched in anger after reading the word honorable in the first line. He couldn’t help but stare at Aakesh, only to find Aakesh smiling at him.

“Father, what’s written on the paper?” Out of the sixteen other Guhyakas, seven of them were the children of the family head. Tapi was one of the seven, so she couldn’t help but ask her father.

The family head didn’t answer but returned his focus to the paper since he hadn’t read all of it.
