Courting Death System-Chapter 26: Visitors

Two gentlemen entered the a shop and went straight to the counter like it was a planned robbery. At the counter, a man black man with dreadlocks sat calmly on his chair was reading a book. The man looked like the cold attitude type, the type that points out directions without even checking who’s asking.

’This should be easy.’ thought the two men in black suits.

"Excuse me, we’d like to speak to the shop owner, it’s urgent business." said one of the men.

"Do you have an appointment?" asked the cashier.

"No but if you can..."

"No appointment, no sight seeing the boss. Please come back after you’ve made an appointment." said the cashier.

"We have a business proposal for your boss so just call him out quickly. It won’t even five minutes."

"Fine then, I’ll call him out for you but give me money. You’re not my employer so I won’t things for free, give me money."

"Fair enough so how do you want, one silver, ten silver, a hundred silver or one gold..."

"A hundred Mana Stones."

"What?"

"I said I want a hundred Mana Stones of mid grade quality." said the cashier.

"This is fucking daylight robbery! Jimmy, let’s just kill this fucker and the boss will naturally come out! Fuck this greedy and annoying guy!" said the other man who looked identical to the other guy.

"If you’re fucking broke then get the hell out of my shop! Business proposal my foot! You can’t even fork out a hundred Mana Stones! Fucking leave! Leave my shop you poor bastards!" cursed the cashier.

The two identical men were momentarily stunned by the cashier.

’Wasn’t he the nonchalant and aloof type? Why is suddenly so outspoken and angry?’ they thought.

"Uhm... we’ll give you the Mana Stones."

"Fuck you and your Mana Stones, I said get the fuck out of my shop! Get out before I call secur... just get the fuck out! Think you can come here and talk any way you like with me?! Who the fuck are you?!" the cashier just kept on cursing like there was no tomorrow. One of the man couldn’t take it anymore and pulled out a technologically advanced hand gun.

"Say one more word and I promise..."

"Please don’t kill me! Please don’t kill me man. I have goals and dreams that I still want to accomplish! Help! Help! Someone is trying to kill me in broad daylight!" screamed the cashier in genuine fear.

The two identical men were yet again surprised by the sudden change in the cashier’s demeanour. They’d thought that he’d be like those tough guys who weren’t afraid of death and would continue to cuss at them. Never did they expect the cashier to suddenly plead for mercy after the gun was taken out.

’This guy is emotionally unstable.’

"Now call..."

"LUCIUS! WHAT’S ALL THIS RUCKUS ABOUT?!" shouted the young girl who appeared from nowhere.

"Anya, thank god you’re here. These criminals want to kill me because I said the boss is busy! Kill them quickly! Kill them for me!" said Lucius.

"Shut up! You two, you say you want to see the shop owner, well I’m the shop owner but I don’t chat with puppets! If your master wants something from me, tell him to come in person. Now goodbye." said the little girl as she snapped her fingers and the two men disappeared.

"Anya, thank you for your..."

"Shut up! For crying out loud, temperament doesn’t match your personality. You look like the silent type yet you’re not, when you start talking, you sound like someone not afraid of death but you are! Just what kind of mix up are you. Grandpa made a mistake taking you as his disciple. You don’t have Talent in anything, took an entire year just to control your Innate Abilities and don’t any affinity for elements."

Lucius sat back on his chair and just ignored the little girl.

...

"So what you’re telling me is that the cashier of the Yezi And Anya shop is weird, can’t control his emotions and is s complete coward. And that you were seen through by a little girl that you were robots and then kicked you out of the shop with the snap of her fingers, is that it?"

"Yes."

"For now, leave that shop alone, it’s not as simple as it looks. Also, give me the shop coordinates so that I can send them my invitation card, who knows, they might actually need it, hehe."

...

Sitting in his office, a black envelope suddenly appeared on Old Yezi’s desk with a crest of a what seemed to be a man sitting on the sofa and holding a glass with alcohol content inside. Old Yezi was surprised and alert by this. He didn’t immediately open the envelope but checked his office thoroughly.

’Just what kind of trick is this?’ he thought as he picked up the black envelope.

...

At the same time, hooded figures stood in front of the Yezi And Anya shop and seemed to be discussing something.

[Who would have thought that these rats were hiding in such a backward world.]

[It was a pretty good hiding spot but unfortunately, they made us their enemies and our enemies are all dead!]

[Let’s quickly get this over with, the air of this place is so horrid and disgusting.]

...

Lucius was reading his book as he usually does when three hooded people stood at the counter. Lucius only gave them a cursory glance before he continued reading his book. The three hooded figures didn’t like how dismissive Lucius was towards them.

[Little rat, where is the owner of shop? Call him out now!] said one of the hooded people in an arrogant tone. Lucius stopped reading the book and looked at the three hooded figures. One of the hooded figures eyes were glowing like lanterns in the dark. Lucius looked at that hooded figure for a long time before responding.

"Did you just call me a rat?" asked Lucius with an agitated voice.

[Ye...]

"Out of all the animals in the world, you chose to call me a fucking rat! A FUCKING RAT! FUCK YOU!" cursed Lucius. He was so angry that he couldn’t even express it. With so much anger, something happened to Lucius but he was too angry to realise. A golden light enveloped his body and a black and gold vestment was adorned by him. An illusory woman with a blindfold, holding a cross on one hand and a book on the other hand appeared behind him.

If Lucius went to the Holy Church with his current appearance, the church staff would probably think that he was a priest or even a high priest and welcome with respect.

[Dare to call me a rat! BLASPHEMY!!!]

BOOOM!!!

Lucius’s voice was filled with authority and power that everything around him was pushed away except for the three hooded figures. Well... now they weren’t hooded because Lucius’s voice had blown away their hoodies, revealing their exquisite appearances.

All three of them had similar appearances, sparkling white hair, milky white skin that looked smooth and soft, blue eyes with golden pupils and a halo above their heads. All three of them were handsome, extremely so.

’Angels?’ thought Lucius.

[So... you follow the Goddess, forgive us for our transgression fellow believer, we’ll leave immediately.] said one of the men and instantly disappeared.

Old Yezi and Anya came rushing out of the office because of the commotion Lucius just caused but the two were surprised to see Lucius’s current appearance.

"Old Yezi, Anya, I think I just saw angels!" said Lucius as the vestment and goddess behind him disappeared, even the golden light around his body disappeared.

"Angels?! Are you sure?!"
