The First Store System

Chapter 41

Maria had a heartbroken look as the stranger dragged her by her hair to Aakeshʼs store. She wasnʼt worried about him since she saw his capability yesterday. What made her heartbroken was the fact that Aakesh had to involve himself again in trouble, which started due to her.

The market got empty in no time. Everyone in the crowd was afraid to even come in the way of the group since they knew their identity from the golden S badge they wore on their chests. These guards belonged to the Schiller family. Benʼs full name was Ben Schiller.

Schiller family had been an influential family even before the establishment of the Bisan Kingdom. Gary Schiller was the family head and the Prime minister of the Blue Phoenix Kingdom when Punta attacked.

Schiller family played a major role in the establishment of the Bisan Kingdom. They betrayed the previous king, seeing the guards that came with Punta, and joined him against the Blue Phoenix Kingdom. After the war ended, Punta being happy with their achievements during the war, rewarded them a hereditary post of Prime minister. Every head of the Schiller family would be eligible for this post as long as the Bisan Kingdom stands.

The current head of the Schiller family and the Prime minister of the Bisan Kingdom was Barry Schiller. He was also the father of Ben.

Ben was the youngest and most loved child of Barry. So when he learned about the incident that occurred yesterday, he didnʼt think for a second, and in anger, sent 100 of his familyʼs best peak Nascent Soul experts and an additional Void Condensation expert to not take any risk.

Aakesh was sitting in his store and trying to think of ways to win the first challenge when suddenly, the sound of something thrown in his store and several footsteps broke him out of his trance. He expressionlessly looked at the source of the ruckus, and the first thing he noticed was a seriously injured Maria who was trying to stand up.

He then focused on the man that stood at the front and stared expressionlessly at him. ”Where is young master Ben?” The man asked Aakesh with a hint of rage in his voice. He already knew that Ben died yesterday since none of the members that entered the store exited. He still asked because he wanted to see the fear in the store ownerʼs eyes first and ten torture him for what he did to Ben.

”Oh, didnʼt you know?” Aakesh expressionlessly responded.

”What?” The man exclaimed. He didnʼt expect the owner to be this calm, and his response was also unexpected for him.

”I sent him to the place best suited to him,” Aakesh casually responded. While Aakesh was talking, the group of experts that arrived to avenge Ben started surrounding him.

One of the group members even tried to shut the door of the store, but he couldnʼt even budge the door, let alone move it. A bad feeling arose in that memberʼs heart. But suddenly, he forgot about it, and he also went forward to surround.

To not alert the group, Aakesh acted to erase the bad feeling the guard felt inside. He was in the mood to kill, and he wanted to kill all of the members in a single swoop. He didnʼt want anyone to run and increase his effort. He had no problem in his heart when it came to killing since he didnʼt belong to the Human race, and after learning about the truth of the creation, every race in the Multiverse except Deva became insignificant for him.

”Where!” While the man in the front growled. His patience was running thin as he had no idea where the store owner was going with his words.

”Hell!” Aakesh responded as suddenly a pressure arrived on every person present in the store except Maria.

All were unprepared for the sudden pressure. The situation caused them to fall face-first onto the ground. It came as a complete surprise to the Void Condensation expert. He tried with all his might to stand up, but the more he tried, the intense the pressure became for him.

”What are you doing?” He asked, gritting his teeth.

”Nothing, Iʼm going to send you there to meet your young master,” Aakesh casually responded.

He took a stride forward and appeared right in front of him. He bent down and grabbed the manʼs hair, forcing him to make direct eye contact with him.

”So, tell me, who are you?” Aakesh expressionlessly asked.

The man didnʼt want to speak something, but the truth subconsciously came out of his mouth. ”I am Fred Schiller. I belong to the Schiller family, the strongest family after the royal family...” he started speaking the details regarding his family.

”Tell me, what would be the response of your family head after I kill you?” Aakesh suddenly asked. He got bored of the petty play of these low-ranked Humans. He wouldʼve continued the play and extended the act with Ben and his family if Maria hadnʼt been beaten this badly. He couldnʼt just let an innocent fall in danger due to the petty acts of these families.

”He would wage a war on your store,” Fred confidently responded. His face was pale due to fear, but he tried to act strong since his familyʼs name was dependent upon him.

”Then, Iʼll be waiting,” Aakesh responded as the man fell into an illusion the next moment.

Fred found himself in an unknown environment the next moment. In no time, he forgot everything about Aakesh and his identity.

In the illusion, he lived in a world where Humans were the apex predators but could not cultivate. They had a limited lifespan and waged wars from time to time.

Fred was living his life happily with his family when suddenly his entire family got killed, and he got captured alive by a group of terrorists. The group of terrorists then tortured him for years before he succumbed to his injuries. He then reincarnated into the same world, but this time he was one of the terrorists. During a terror attack, the police force caught him, and then he was again tortured. He reincarnated several times and every time died due to torture. Aakesh expressionlessly watched as Fred went through the suffering.

A/N: Hello, readers. Some of you may feel weird about the sudden change in Aakeshʼs behavior in this chapter. But, heʼs a cold character in reality. He looks at everything like enjoyment. He had somewhat of a God complex, Iʼll describe it as the story progresses further. Seeing the injuries on Maria played a spoilsport in his enjoyment, so his cold character emerged.

Please donʼt forget to tell me your thoughts regarding this. Your feedback will act as motivation for me.. Iʼm also thinking of updating two chapters daily, so show me your support by voting, commenting, golden tickets, and gifts.
