48 Shop

Ayaan ignored the curious gazes around him and opened the metallic gate of the shop by the key.

As the gate of the shop opened, the dust fell from above on Ayaan's head. He covered his body with a small layer of magic energy, and all the dust fell at the side without touching his clothes.

Afterwards, Ayaan and Rebecca entered the shop together. The moment the duo entered the shop, someone from the crowd spoke.

"Did anyone see his magic realm?"

As the saying goes, one stone would cause hundreds of waves in the ocean. After hearing the voice of the man, the people around him also started to speak curiously.

"There are lots of treasures to hide the magic realm; he must be someone from a big family and have that kind of treasure with him."

When everyone heard the man, others as well nodded in acknowledgement. They would not believe that he was more powerful than them.

"Who is he? Why have I never heard about such a young, talented mage?" Someone else at the side asked curiously.

"No wonder, he could get a shop in the central district this easily. There must be someone backing him from behind. Only high-level families could train geniuses like him.

Only they would need treasures to hide their magic realms. So, to not let others see their progress." Someone a little knowledgeable in the crowd said with a deep voice.

Everyone fell silent after hearing the voice of the man. If it was true, then it won't be worthwhile if they offend someone as influential as him. It would be better to build a good relationship with him.

Slowly, the crowd dispersed; so to not antagonise him.

Ayaan and Rebecca entered the shop, and a place full of dust greeted them. There was a glass counter placed in the middle. Although it was in pretty good shape, a one-inch thick layer of dust was covering the whole counter.

There were lots of shelves on the wall behind the counter, which must be for showcasing fresh materials to the customers.

Rebecca placed a handkerchief on her face because it was hard to breathe inside the shop due to dust. After seeing the condition inside, Ayaan frowned but didn't comment. Isobel had already told him that the shop was closed for a long time. Therefore, it covered the shop in the thick dust.

Thereupon, Ayaan turned towards the right side and saw small stairs going upward. He knew that this shop had two floors. And this was one of the condition's Ayaan had told Isobel when he asked about the shop.

He was going to open a potion shop. Therefore, he would need his laboratory to experiment and for the potion-making. He could not do that on the first floor because this place would be where customers could come.

The potion-making would need Ayaan's hundred percent attention. So, he could not disturb by anyone in between because a minor distraction would cause the failure of the potion.

Therefore, he requested this shop; so he could make a second floor his laboratory and the first floor was for doing business.

After confirming everything was as he wanted, Ayaan nodded and waved his hand towards the dusty counter.

"Shoosh~."

Suddenly, a gust of wind appeared out of nowhere. All the dust over the counter wrapped in the gale, and with a whoosh sound, it went out.

Ayaan looked at the shining counter, and a smile appeared on his face. It was the basic spell of the wind element which he had recently learnt.

After the first gale of wind, a second appeared, followed by a third, and suddenly a whole shop was filled with gales of wind.

In just a few minutes, the entire shop became as clean as Ayaan's clothes, the counter was looking as good as any new counter, and the floor had no trace of dust by now.

Ayaan nodded in satisfaction and turned towards Rebecca before saying, "I think we would need furniture for the shop. Let's go; I saw a few furniture shops when we arrived here."

"Alright, let's go," Rebecca replied and walked side by side with him.

There was nothing inside the shop. Therefore, Ayaan didn't worry about it and just closed the door before going toward the furniture shop, which was only a hundred meters away from his shop.

When the servant saw Ayaan and Rebecca walking towards him, he took a step forward and bowed towards the duo, before saying respectfully, "Welcome, sir!"

Ayaan nodded towards the servant and walked into the shop. However, when both of them entered the shop, a pleasant smell greeted them.

The duo looked around and saw different furniture placed inside the shop. Although the shop was almost as equal as Ayaan's shop, every furniture had set systematically. Therefore, the shop was looking way better than his.

After taking a peek inside the shop, Ayaan looked at the counter where the manager was sitting. At the side, a few workers were dealing with customers.

Subsequently, Ayaan walked towards the counter with Rebecca. The manager who was sitting this whole time without a change of expression looked at him but didn't show any expression. He looked at Ayaan and completely ignored him after seeing his boyish face.

Simultaneously, a servant who had just dealt with a customer looked at Ayaan and gave him a pleasant smile before saying, "Welcome, sir! How can I help you?"

Ayaan looked at the boy who had approximately the same age as him and then smiled before replying, "I would like to buy some furniture."

"So, what type of furniture do you want?" the servant inquired while still smiling.

"Can you please show me around before I decide?" Ayaan asked after thinking for some time.

The manager who was sitting at the side heard and frowned but didn't object. He looked towards the servants and nodded.

After looking at the young face of Ayaan, he was worried that he wouldn't be able to afford the items. However, he could not object to him openly, or it would affect the business of the shop.

Therefore, he reluctantly let him check the furniture placed inside the shop.
