The First Store System

924 Pride and Satisfaction!

Chapter 924: Pride and Satisfaction!

Joator left the cultivation arts room since he had already found the one he wanted. His face lit up with a broad grin as he reflected on the pleasant surprises he had found today at the shop.

"Store owner, I want this cultivation art," Joator announced as he approached Aakesh.

Aakesh looked at the virtual book floating next to Joator. Joator caught Aakesh looking at the book that was invisible to the second man in the room. But since it was Aakesh's store, it made sense that he could see the text.

Aakesh was unaware of what was going on in Joator's head, as all the details of the cultivation art had appeared in his mind.

Since Joator had already paid for the preview, Aakesh informed him, "You need to pay nine hundred and ninety ordinary Sacred stones."

The next moment, the mechanical message asking whether he wanted to make the sale appeared in Joator's head since more than sufficient funds were stored in the space inside the card.

Joator responded with "yes" in his head, and the next moment, a message telling him about the deduction appeared in his mind.

"It is yours now," Aakesh announced after the system informed him about the successful payment.

The next moment, the virtual book before Joator began materializing into reality. In no time, a physical book appeared in the hands of Joator.

Joator stroked the book as he opened its first page. Finding the same content he had read in the cultivation arts room, he heaved a sigh of relief.

Joator thanked Aakesh for his help and turned around to leave the shop.

Joator had still not gone to the training area, but at that moment, he wanted to rush to his house as soon as possible since he needed to meditate and check the difference between his previous cultivation art and the one he purchased.

After Joator left the store, Aakesh closed his eyes and began another of his relaxation sessions since there was no new customer in sight- and it was unknown how long Ricardo would take before he came out of the cultivation arts room.

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

Aakesh was comfortably relaxing on his chair when he heard the sound of footsteps. He opened his eyes and turned around in the direction of the sound. It was none other than Ricardo, who was coming out of the store with a page in his hands.

"Store owner, I want to buy this," Ricardo said as he handed over the page to Aakesh.

Aakesh looked at the page, and the next moment, all the details of the cultivation art, including its cost, appeared in Aakesh's head.

Aakesh was going to tell the price Ricardo needed to pay, but he stopped when he heard Ricardo's next statement.

"Store owner, can you hold this for some time? I will go and bring the required amount," Ricardo respectfully requested. Several members of his family had accumulated family savings, so the father, the patriarch, controlled the money.

Ricardo needed to go to his father and tell him about it.

"Sure! But you need to come in the next half an hour," Aakesh responded expressionlessly, giving Ricardo a time limit.

Then without waiting for Ricardo to leave, Aakesh placed the paper on the top of the card machine and closed his eyes, beginning another round of relaxation sessions.

Ricardo bowed and then hurriedly left the store since he had a fixed time.

For Ricardo to complete the sale early, Aakesh set up the duration.

"What the fuck are you talking about?" Ricardo's father looked at his son in anger.

It was operational hotel time, so Ricardo should have been in his office. But he came running here, asking for four hundred and fifty ordinary Sacred stones because he found a cultivation art. The father didn't believe Ricardo at all. He had been trying to find a cultivation art for so many years, but he had yet to come across information about it, let alone the art.

"I am telling you that I found the cultivation art our family had been hoping for so many years," Ricardo said. "You need to give me the amount quickly since I only had ten minutes left before the deadline given by the store owner came to an end."

Ricardo didn't know what would happen to him if he breached the time limit set by the store owner, but he was in no mood to test it.

A round of arguments began between the father and the son after Ricardo told him about going to the non-demon's store. In the end, the father had no choice but to give the money, as Ricardo had become so desperate that his tone almost sounded like begging.

But before giving the money, the father also warned Ricardo that if what he said was a lie, then the consequences would be too dire for Ricardo to accept. It wasn't a small sum since it was ninety percent of the savings accumulated in the past several hundred thousand years.

"You need to pay four hundred fifty ordinary Sacred stones," Aakesh stated after Ricardo returned.

"Store owner, here," Ricardo said, gasping for breath as he reached the store a few seconds before the deadline came to an end.

***

An excited expression covered Ricardo's face as he looked at the book in his hands. The family's wait for hundreds of thousands of years finally came to an end, and he was the one behind it.

Ricardo didn't waste any time and rushed back toward the house since he wanted to show his father the book.

***

"You didn't lie!" The father exclaimed in shock as he took the book from his son's hands.

The father's hands were trembling as he stroked the book. The view had become misty as the father was on the verge of shedding some tears.

The wait for this moment had been long and hard since saving that many stones weren't easy at all. Even many Divine Lords wouldn't boast this many Sacred stones, but he saved it.

Ricardo was smiling as he saw his father's emotions tumbling out. A feeling of pride and satisfaction appeared in his heart, looking at those trembling hands.
