Chapter 183 Taking Advantage A Loophole In The Deal With The Emperor
As the masked human was about to step inside, he took a glance to the right from the corner of his eyes and spotted four people in hoods sitting there with blankets on them. It's as if they were beggars.
Stepping inside, he spoke to Mark, in rather a loud tone, "Owner Lu, I'm from Heavens Sect. My master ordered me to bring the weapons. This is the list he provided."
The mysterious masked fellow handed a scroll to Mark as Chang Bo closed down the shutter as he was ordered.
Mark, who had already recognized him, nodded and played along without even taking a look at the scroll, "Is it Elder Jian? It's been a while since we last met."
The masked fellow was a little bit surprised by Mark's response but he shook his head firmly, "not exactly, it's from Patriarch."
"Is that so?" Mark then turned his attention to the teenager who almost closed down the shutter, "Chang Bo, wait."
"Yes, Lord Lu?" He turned around.
Mark got up on his feet and took out five glistening gold coins, "I'm sorry but I will treat you some other time. Take this and serve yourself a fancy meal. Consider this as an extra bonus for your hard work, today. Once again, I apologize for this."
If they were close, Chang Bo would have felt bad for getting kicked out like this after being offered food and a place for the night but he was only working in the store for only a few days.
The fact that his owner is apologizing along with paying a huge bonus itself made him feel respected, at least compared to his previous life at the guild where everyone used to look down on him because he was an errand boy.
As Chang Bo took the money and left the store, Mark closed down the shutter completely and turned around to walk to the counter where the scroll was placed earlier.
He didn't open it. Rather, he just folded his arms to the chest and stared at the masked fellow while leaning to the counter, "alright, Prince Wu, there's no one else. You can take off the mask."
The masked fellow removed his mask, displaying a clear shock on his face, "How did you know that it was me?"
"Let's just say that I have special eyes." Mark vaguely replied as he doesn't want to reveal his secret. He then took the scroll and opened it, "I hope this one isn't empty."
As he suspected, something was written on it.
The words stated that he is the uncle of Long Chen and he received Mark's letter through a friend. This was also written indirectly so that only Mark would understand the hidden meaning.
Casually throwing it back at the counter, Mark displayed a smile as he greeted, "Welcome to Genesis Weapon store, Prince Wu. I'm sure you must be surprised by the changes inside the store."
Feng Wu also let out a smile as he replied, "Compared to the last time I visited, even the situation outside the store also appeared to be changed."
"What can I say… Some people won't just leave me alone," Mark shrugged his shoulders as he started walking towards one of the rooms.
"So, may I know the reason you have wished to meet?" asked Feng Wu while following him. He added, "Is it about the Ji Clan? Or is it something else?"
Mark answered him truthfully, "The Emperor offered me a deal to delay your order for 8 weeks and I accepted it in return for a few conditions."
"What!" Feng Wu halted his footsteps. He furrowed his brows, "so, you called me here to tell me the cancellation of the order?"
Mark replied while looking ahead, "of course not. Why would I lose two hundred thousand gold coins of earnings? Moreover, I would never cheat a customer. Please follow me."
There, Feng Wu saw some weapons that he hadn't seen before.
"This is Rocket Launcher"
"This is Grenade Launcher, an exclusive weapon that needs a minimum of 100,000 gold coins of transaction with the store."
"This is M99…"
"These are sniper rifles…"
"These are the models of is assault rifle named AK 47, Ak 103, G36, Ar-15…"

"This is a Molotov cocktail. It looks like a normal weapon but the flammable liquid inside this isn't simple. Along with Nitroglycerine, some other powerful flammable liquids are also added. Just like with the grenades, it depends on your arm strength. So, one should be careful when using it."
After explaining the functions and the power of each weapon to him, except for battle robots, Chimera SGM, and Howitzer Pzh 2000, Mark further stated, "I promised the Emperor that whatever you have ordered, I will delay it by atleast 8 weeks.
But, I never promised about the ones that you haven't ordered yet. So, here's my suggestion.
For now, I wish you to put a hold on the current order. I will usually take 20% for advance orders. So that is 42,200 gold coins. If we put it aside, there are the remaining 257,889 gold coins that will be left with me.
With that money, you can even put an order of over a million gold coins. So, put up a new order.
As I have said before, I will provide whatever weapon in whichever amounts you needed. We can take care of the remaining balance after you claim your kingdom. So, no need to hesitate with it."
Feng Wu then fell into thoughts. He was glancing at the weapons, which appeared to be more awesome than those P-226 guns, but at the same time, they are hella expensive and his soldiers were still untrained.
On the other hand, he was tempted about buying those grenade launchers and Rocket launchers, which are powerful enough to take out even 5-circle realm experts if he were to believe Mark's words.
As for the explosives, they are indeed useful but they are too costly for something that is one-time use. He would rather buy an additional rocket launcher instead of buying ten explosives that can even cause a lot of self-harm.
Feng Wu didn't forget what Mark had said about the Emperor. If Shang Fu had asked him for 8 weeks of time, it was clear to this exiled prince that the Imperial Palace is going to take action on finding them. In this situation, he needed to hurry up.
After thinking for a while, he made a decision.
He said, "Owner Lu, I won't keep you in a tight position. Whatever I ordered earlier, you can put them on hold for eight weeks. Keep 20% of it aside as an upfront.
Meanwhile, I'm going to order the same list of weapons from last time. And then, add 10 of these rocket launchers and 100 warheads.
This new order should be a priority and procure them as fast as possible."
Mark nodded with a smile as he scored another big deal. Since it is a large amount, he could afford the time and wait until Feng Wu gathers all of the money.
He then showed his index finger, "one week. By the end of the week, you will receive the Panzers and machine-gun ammunition, rocket launchers and their warheads, the shotguns and their cartridges, P-226 guns, and their magazines. However, the bullets will take a longer time."
