Magic Shop System

Chapter 25 - Throw Them Out

"Ho-how could this be?" Shum stuttered, looking at the scene in front of him. Since when did someone sell this type of incredible potion in the city of Avibria?

He ogled at Khrom's healing wound and turned towards Kadyn, speaking. "I want to purchase the potion. Tell me the price. I can pay double the price he paid just now."

Kadyn curled his lips disdainfully and sneered. "I really despise people like you."

"You…" Shum's face flushed red in humiliation. But he suppressed the fury in his heart. He wanted the potion. The treasure such as this could become a lifesaving trump-card in peril. "Will you sell it or not?!" he gritted his teeth hatefully.

"I can't believe how thick your skin is. After being humiliated, again and again, you can still stand here. Get lost!" Kadyn, who was smiling all this time, snapped. Shum and his two companions jolted and staggered back at his thunderous shout.

"You… you...!" Shum pointed his finger at Kadyn, but no word came out of his throat. He was so furious that his face turned crimson.

"You, your mother. Brother Khrom, why don't you throw them out and I'll give you one Soothing Potion with a twenty percent discount? You should know how hard it is to compound materials to make such a potion." Previously Kadyn saw their expression and knew that the value of the potion far surpassed the price at which he sold. However, he cared little. He could always brew more.

"Alri… wait a moment," Khrom gawked at Kadyn and demanded. "You brew the Soothing Drop?"

"Of course, who else would do?" Kadyn casually replied. "Please, don't let them run. I want to see them being thrown--"

Before he could finish Khrom bolted behind the escaping trio. Kadyn raised his brows in surprise. "Wind element?" he murmured. Also, Khrom's control over his spell seemed impeccable.

"Ahh, leave me, you damn brute." In just a blink Khrom got the two of them in dirt and Shum in his clutches. Shum felt shamed, disgraced, humiliated.

"You Bastard! Do you know who I am?" he cursed.

Khrom cared little about his threats and threw him out of the shop like crap. Looking at Shum, who laid on the road with a mouth kissing the ground and ass saluted the heaven. Khrom gave a disdainful sneer. The other two gave up on any hope and also joined their leader in the same comical posture.

"Do you have any mo' potions?" asked Khrom after throwing those nuisances. Just now, due to those morons, he hesitated to take the potion. If he hadn't drunk it, he would never realise how amazing it was. That's why he didn't think twice before thrashing 'em.

Kadyn shook his head. "No, I have to brew it. You can come tomorrow if you want any."

"Alright," Khrom nodded and strolled away through the gate. Kadyn looked in his direction and fell into deep contemplation. This guy isn't as simple as he seems. Khrom hid it carefully, but Kadyn felt a deep hatred in his heart. Not for himself. As for who? He had no interest to know.

"S-sir, what is the pr-price for meditating?" when Khrom left, a stammering voice inquired. Kadyn lifted his gaze and found two boys standing in front of the counter. He remembered these two had arrived after those three morons.

"For an hour, you need to pay two hundred dollars," Kadyn replied.

"Just two hundred dollars, really?" another boy spoke.

"Didn't I already say, if you don't want to, then leave?" he frowned, seeing their doubtful expressions.

"We want to," both of them cried out and gave him four hundred dollars.

After sending the duo, Kadyn went out, and it took around twenty minutes to come back. A bag was in his hand and a smile on his lips. He peered towards the meditation room and slouched in his chair in boredom. No customer. He complained.

Time passed and the two who entered the mediation room in the very last walked out with a reluctant gaze. Kadyn saw them approaching the counter and said. "You can also check out the Practice Room. There, you can improve your battle experience and control over your spells. Just 100 dollars for a single fight, of course."

The duo wanted to leave after meditating. As both of 'em had left with only four hundred dollars. Of course, they couldn't spend their entire money here. However, after hearing Kadyn's words, they were eager to try this practice room. So they did. After drinking a bowl of milk, the cat would never be satisfied. It was a truth that no one can deny.

[Energy Points: 65+2?67]

Kadyn explained the working of the practice room before sending them inside. He looked at their backs as they headed towards the other building and murmured. "Am I going to run this shop my entire life? Sit here and look at the fading backs of my customers as they come and go?"

"I don't know if you're going to run this shop your entire life. However, how you run this shop depends upon you." System replied to him and fell silent.

"What'd you mean?" Kadyn frowned.

No reply.

He grunted, hearing no reply, but said no more. He knew he can't ask for everything from others and needed to depend on himself. But he was curious to know what other way could there be to run the shop?

After half an hour later the two kids walked out of the practice room. Their bodies dripped with sweat, but their eyes shone with excitement. They arrived in front of the counter and said. "Thank you for giving us such a chance. We will come back later when we have money."

Kadyn waved his hand and said nothing. He was fully aware of what kind of benefits the practice room could give. As time passes, everyone will discover it eventually. However, he forgot that fame begets jealousy and jealousy begets hatred and hatred is the source of all the troubles in this world.
