"Princess, look at his face... hahaha…"
"Without having mana stones, he tried topete with us, howughable!"
The Ice Castle girls began making sarcasticments whileughing loudly in a mocking tone. A proud smile also yed on E''s lips as she stared at Kent''s helpless state.
Shaking his head, Kent turned towards Kavi, the Fire Kirin, to exin his financial situation. But after seeing its pitiful face, words failed toe out of Kent''s mouth.
Putting his pride aside, Kent took out a ss veil from his storage bracelet and ced it before the fatdy. "This is the antidote for the nine-tailed horned insect. You can verify it with anyone. I can definitely treat your condition. Please consider my offer." Kent asked requestingly.
The manager stared at the ss veil for a second. The brown,ckluster potion inside the ss veil didn''t satisfy him. "Young man, enough of your nonsense. Leave my store before I toss you out." The fatdy spoke with a grim face.
Jabil, who stood at the center, rushed towards the fatdy with an angry hissing. Kent blocked him with one hand.
"Master, I don''t want that shitty wine. Let''s go…" Jabil hissed while staring at the fatdy with a fierce look.
"Yes, master. I also don''t want it." Kavi joined in the protest.
Shaking his head, Kent picked up the antidote and turned around to leave.
But before Kent, the fatdy hurriedly stood up from her seat and ran towards the entrance. The wooden floor creaked rhythmically to her weight bnce.
A group of men in luxurious clothes were following an old man at the entrance. With his long white beard, tied hair, flowy beard, and shiny clothes, the old man appeared like a wealthy and important person. They all came walking into the store.
The fatdy hurriedly greeted the owner of the pet-food store, who was following the old man humbly. The middle-aged store owner red angrily at the fatdy and gestured her to greet the old man first.
But the old man is not in the mood to care about fatdy greetings. His gaze fixed on Kent, who stood at the rear end of the store. Kent didn''t understand why the old man was staring at him with a familiar look.
The onlookers, who knew about the identity of the old man, hurriedly greeted him with a respectful bow. The old manpletely disregards all others in his path and moves towards Kent with a serious face.
As he reached Kent, he observed Kent from top to bottom. "Young Master Kent, please ept the greeting of Long Chu." The old man sped his hand and bowed his head in respect.
The rich people who came with the old man were surprised by his sudden gesture. The old man is Long Chu, head of the Chu family. His family controls half of the nine-cauldron summit business. No one understood why Long Chu, the unofficial master of the Nine Cauldron Summit, was bowing to a young man.
The Ice Castle girls were staring at this scene with wide open mouths.
"Princess, it seems the old man is a powerful person." One of the girls whispered in a meekly.
"So what? Our Ice Castle is not less than anyone here." Princess E spoke in a serious tone while staring at Kent, who was happily speaking with the old man.
Meanwhile, the old man took out a storage ring and passed it to Kent. "Young master Kent, your aunt asked me to transfer these mana stones for you. Please ept it. For the help your aunt did to my family, these mana stores are very less. Remember that my Chu family will always be ready to help you in any situation."
The old man spoke in a humble tone while passing the storage ring to Kent. Wondering about the wealth inside the spirit ring, Kent epted the spirit ring and observed the contents inside it.
Kent saw arge number of mana stones arranged neatly in stacks. But unlike the crimson coloured, shell-shaped mana stones, the stones inside the spirit ring were purple andrge.
"Elder, why do these mana stones look different?" Kent asked the old man with a curious look.
"Young master, these are superior mana stones. One superior mana stone is equal to 100 normal crimson coloured mana stones." The old man, Long Chu, said in a humble tone.
A smile formed on Kent''s face as he stared at the superior mana stones.
"Young master Kent, your aunt said, you came here to attend the Wizard Association auction. I hope these hundred thousand superior mana stones were enough for the auction. If you need more, please contact me." The old man said as he prepared to leave.
''Ten million mana stones,'' the fatdy, who stood a short distance from Kent, muttered in a weak tone. Her legs began shaking after knowing that number.
Just then, Kent took out 100 superior mana stones and ced them on the manager''s table. "How about now,dy? Will you give me those monkey wine bottles?" Kent asked with a yful grin. Both his pets began circling around him with loudughter as they made fun of the fatdy''s face. Especially Jabil, whose loud hisses sent shivers to the fatdy.
Before the fatdy replied, the store owner, who came following the old man, stepped forward with a sheepish smile. "Young master, this is your store. Take whatever you want. Please don''t insult me by paying." The middle-aged man spoke while giving back the hundred superior mana stones to Kent.
Kent epted them casually and turned his head toward the fatdy. As the fatdy stared at the Ice Castle sect girls, the store owner cried out angrily. "Why are you still standing here? Pack those monkey wine bottles for young master Kent."
"Stop!" Princess E stepped forward with a serious look.
"Store owner, we are from Ice Castle. I already asked the servant girls to pack those monkey wines for me." Princess E spoke authoritatively while staring at the store owner.
The store owner paused for a second and turned toward the fatdy. "Did you receive mana stones from them?"
The fatdy hurriedly shook her head.
"Then go pack those monkey wine bottles and hand them to young Master Kent." The store owner ordered without another thought. Hepletely disregarded Princess E and Ice Castle.
