Chapter 868: A New Customer(2)

Not long after Rodrick, another customer stepped foot in the store. But this time, it was a familiar customer, one of the generals who had already been to the store.

Time flew by, and hours passed in the blink of an eye.

The six hours for Favan, Garos, and Elera were still some time away from ending, but the number of waiting customers had already reached seven.

All customers from the Sacred dimension were simultaneously present either in the store's hall or in Panagea at that time.

Aakesh was relaxing on his chair with closed eyes when he excitedly opened them as he heard the sound of footsteps emerging from the door.

As the store was only one customer away from achieving the target set by the system, if the next one became a customer, then the store would grow even more tomorrow.

Aakesh opened his eyes and looked at the female Thorron standing at the door.

***

Richa was one of the generals in the city's army. The area under her patrol was different than Seventeenth Street.

One of the soldiers in her group was married. Her husband belonged to Jemiah's group, so he also witnessed the scenes of the non-demon being unfazed by the generals.

The soldier told his wife, and the wife shared this piece of information with her group. Richa also found out about the situation this way.

Richa came from a noble background, as her family was only second to the city lord's family in Thorr City. She was outraged to learn that the non-demon had killed Thorrons indiscriminately in front of everyone.

Richa was one of the people who didn't care about the non-demon's background, but what she cared was about providing justice to the dead. Richa heard about the reason the non-demon had given for killing several Thorrons, but she didn't believe it.

She took a few days' breaks from her work and began to search for whether the reason was correct or not. Richa had thought that it would take some time to find the truth, but it only took her half an hour to find out that Garoun had in fact plotted against the non-demon's store.

No matter whom she asked on Seventeenth Street, they told her about the threat from Garoun's goons.

After finding out that Aakesh wasn't the first to attack, Richa decided to return to work. She wasn't like others who had a prejudice against non-demons. She wanted to make a fair society where no one's status would matter.

But for some reason, a voice from her heart asked her to at least check the non-demon's store since someone from a powerful background wouldn't sell measly items.

Richa didn't kill the voice and decided to check on the store. Now that she was in front of the store's gate, she felt that it was the lair of an extremely powerful being.

Richa couldn't see or hear anything about what was going on inside the store, but that didn't surprise her as much as others. Even her room had the same array. It wasn't as powerful as what was in the store, but still, it was there.

Richa wasn't one to back off. Now that she had come here, she needed to check out the store for herself. As for her being in danger, Richa didn't feel it to be true.

If the store were dangerous,  the city lord would have surely acted and thrown the non-demon out of the city.

Richa then took a deep breath and stepped inside the store. Her footsteps broke the silence inside the store.

Richa found the stones used as the floor to be familiar, but she couldn't put her fingers on it. She didn't waste her time thinking about it and gave up.

Her eyes then began to wander around the store. Every inch of the store gave her a feeling of pricelessness.

Richa's eyes also caught the generals meditating in one corner of the store. Except for one, Richa recognized everyone in that group.

Richa didn't go to disturb them, but she looked at the blue-skinned non-demon. Richa found that the non-demon was also looking at her, but he moved his eyes away only after a single glance.

Richa felt chilled when she saw those indifferent eyes. Richa had never seen this expression in anyone's eye, let alone a store owner.

Richa didn't waste her time, standing there, remembering those eyes. She proceeded forward in the non-demon's direction, as she had also grown curious about the store product that could make a general like Jemiah sit here.

Richa had only reached Aakesh when she heard the sound of footsteps coming from the direction of the room. Richa turned around and stood shocked as she recognized the man stepping out of the room.

"Uncle Garos," Richa couldn't help but call out in surprise.

Garos also stopped in his steps as he looked in the direction of the sound.

"Richa, what are you doing here?"

Garos asked as he approached her. Rodrick and Ricky's turn had arrived after Garos and Elera left, so they rushed into the room.

When Garos left Panagea, the noise woke up the other generals, who were meditating on the scene. They recognized Richa since she was not only a general but also came from a noble background in Thorr City. After seeing that she was talking to Garos, the generals didn't interrupt and returned to their meditations.

"How did you find out about this store?" Garos asked when he reached Richa.

Garos had met Richa a few times because Garos was friendly with Richa's father. Richa lived quite far from Seventeenth Street, so seeing Richa in the store came as a surprise to Aakesh.

Even Garos lived far away, but only due to the death of his son was he able to find out about the store. Garos didn't think Richa knew about Garoun's death or his relation to him since they had never met each other.

Richa honestly began to share about how she came here. Garos couldn't help but feel warm in his heart after learning that Richa came here to ask for justice. Even though she didn't know Garoun, Garoun was still one of the deceased in that situation.

Richa noticed the change in Garos's emotions. She couldn't help but grow confused, as she didn't know what happened. Garos didn't tell her the truth about his relationship with Garoun.

After sharing her reason, Richa asked Garos why Elera was unconscious, and he was carrying her.

Garos only smiled in response to Richa's question and asked her to get it from the store owner.

Garos didn't stand there long, as he needed to place Elera on her comfortable bed.

A few minutes later, Richa also joined the waiting group.

Around a minute after Richa began her meditation, the system forced Favan out of the Panagea.

He looked agitated as he hurriedly left the portal room and the store.

The general, whose turn had arrived, didn't waste a moment and rushed inside the portal room.

Time flew by, and several hours passed in silence.

The system forced the general out after his time in Panagea was over. The commotion caused by his exit from the portal room made Richa open her eyes.

The next moment, she closed her eyes with dejection since there were still many people left before her turn arrived. More time flew by, and Richa's turn finally arrived.

When Richa entered the portal room, only one more person was left to enter Panagea. It was also a new customer, who had come to the store after a lot of mental struggle. After Richa entered the portal, Aakesh also completed the quest.

Only a few minutes after Richa left, the last customer got his turn.

In the Sacred dimension, the virtual portal was filled for the first time for all four rounds when the man stepped into the Panagea.

More time flew by, and when only around an hour was left before sunset, a door appeared in the store's hall out of nowhere.

Click!

Not long after, the door opened with a clicking sound, and soon after, Lily stepped out of it.

There was a gloomy aura surrounding Lily when she was stepping down the stairs, but when she saw Aakesh smiling at her, the gloom disappeared. After reaching the floor, Lily jumped on Aakesh's head and made herself comfortable on his head.

Aakesh smiled and began playing with Lily. He didn't ask why she was gloomy since Lily would share that with him after the training.

Time flew by, and the sun set down. With it, the lamps lit up across the city.

Not long after, two teleportations occurred in the store, one after another. It was Frederick and Richa after him.

Both of them greeted each other with a smile and then without wasting any time, they made their way outside

Time flew by.

After the last customer left, Aakesh closed the store's door, bringing an end to a fruitful day for the store.
