4. Hanging Pearl Palace

"Hey… stop there? This is not a Ration store." Just as Kent stepped inside the Property dealer store, a young man in assistant clothes, stopped Kent. 

Kent didn't feel offended as his current clothes looked worse than a beggar's. Because of the black secretions from his body, his clothes turned yellow. 

"Sorry… sorry. Please, ignore my outfit. I came here to buy a villa." Kent replied in a humble tone while cleaning his face with a hand cloth. 

"Do you want to buy a villa?" The young man named Jake questioned with a surprised face. He observed Kent from top to bottom with a scrutinizing gaze. 

"Hey, Harry, Richard, see this. A rich young master came to buy a villa." Jack called all his staff girls and boys as felt funny about Kent's presence. 

"Brat, do you even know how much a small house in a slum side costs? It's 1 gold for each foot area. As for the Villas, it's two gold for feet. Not only that, the commercial areas cost multiple times the standard price." Jack said in a lecturing tone and with mocking laughter. 

"Hey, Jack… why don't you show him some villa pictures? He might understand what it really costs." A girl attendant suggested in a weak tone.

"Yes… I can really afford…" Kent tried to explain as he felt that it is also his fault to appear with this dirty look. But Jack didn't give any chance for Kent to speak. 

"Lia, look at this brat. Do you think he could really afford a Villa? He couldn't even afford six feet of land for his grave. I can guarantee that he came here to experience the pure Aura inside the store." Jack spoke while staring at Kent with disgusting looks. Jack despises people who try to pretend like rich and waste their time. 

Just as Kent prepared to show them the golden piggy card… an old man in neat iron clothes stepped inside the store while holding a silver sword. The old man wore costly ornaments and flaunted his wealth like a rich family head. 

Jack immediately ignored Kent and went to greet the old man. Jack's body language took a drastic turn as he bowed down to the old man and accompanied him from the entrance with humble gestures. 

"Sir, do you like buying any property?" Jack asked while adjusting the chair for the old man to sit. 

"Yes… yes… I would really like to see Villas. Before that bring me some tea. My throat is little sore." The old man ordered while sitting on the chair. 

For some odd reason, the old man asked Jack to stand beside him to explain about new model villas. Usually, the attendants will stand opposite to the customer to explain the models by showing pictures. Jack agreed to the old man and stood beside him in close proximity. 

Jack stood in the same place with an angry face as no one paid any attention to him even after a long time. Just as Kent decided to leave the store, a middle-aged lady in a nice thigh skirt made an entrance. 

"Young man, what do you want?" The middle-aged lady who is also a manager of the store questioned Kent who stood without doing anything. 

"I want to…"

Manager Mia, please ask security to throw out this brat. He came to enjoy the pure aura of our store. Jack shouted with mocking laughter. Just as he finished, Jack felt the old man's hand placed on his upper back. He felt more elated as the old man showed more concern for him. 

After observing Kent's appearance, the manager Mia also thought the same. As Jack is also a top salesperson in the store, she asked Kent to leave the store. 

"What a shitty store. I thought of busing a big villa. You are not the only store in this place." Kent said angrily and turned around to leave. 

"What a pretender… stop putting on airs like a rich young master. A poor brat like you, can't even afford a hole." Jack cursed with mocking laughter and all the staff joined in laughter. They all felt Kent is a pretender. 

As Kent left the store, Jack turned his attention towards the old man. "Sir, this is a glass villa on the commercial street. Our store has a 25% discount on this." Jack continued to show different pictures and explained everything in a sincere tone. 

Kent went to the property store opposite the road and directly smashed his golden piggy card on the table. 

Back at the previous store, Jack is still trying to pester the old man to buy a villa. He offered extra discounts to the old man. But the old man just enjoyed the tea and he continued to rub the back of Jack. 

Suddenly, the old man's hand slipped onto the Jack's round ass. Jack tried to move away. But the old man's grip kept Jack tightly against the old man's body. Jack felt afraid to offend the old man as he is a Stage One Master Magus. 

Just as Jack thinking of a way to escape the old man, a Raka beast in the size of a big tree landed before the property store opposite them. All the employees and workers inside the store, hurriedly grouped at the entrance to see the beast. 

"That's the fire Raka beast used for VIP customers. Seems like our opponents really hit the jackpot today." The manager Mia stood among the group, spoke in a surprised tone. Before others could say anything, they saw Kent accompanied by a beautiful lady ascending the beast. 

"What? Don't tell me he is the VIP customer they called Fire Raka beast for?!..." A sales girl full of make-up cried out in surprise. 

"Seems like, our opponents got scammed today." Jack who finally got away from the old man's hands, commented with mocking laughter. 

But the manager Mia felt otherwise. The fire Raka beasts will only be called if the customer makes the biggest purchase and deposits some security coins first. 

Just as they were wondering about the truth… the opposite store manager, who is also a lady hurriedly came towards Jack's group. 

"Hey, Jack… thank you for sending a VIP customer. That young master made the biggest purchase in my store." The manager lady named Rosie, replied happily and placed a small chocolate which cost one bronze in Jack's hands. "By the way, this chocolate is a gift from that young master." The lady manager said with mocking laughter and stared at the store manager Mia with a smug face. 

"Miss Rosie, did you make a mistake? That fellow is a pauper." Jake asked with a questioning face. 

"What? Nooo… That young master already paid 1500 gold coins for the hanging pearl villa in the commercial street. He promised to pay full price after seeing the place. By the way, I got a 10% commission from this sale." Manager Rosie replied and left with giggling laughter.

(i i)

Manager Mia's face became red like a tomato after hearing about the purchase. Hanging Pearl Palace costs 3000 gold coins. 10% commission means, her opponent got 300 gold coins. That's a year's worth of Mia's salary.

Jack's face turned pale after seeing the angry face of his lady manager. In the meantime, the old man who took advantage of Jack's body also slipped away from the store. 

After remembering how Jack spoiled her fortune, Mia directly kicked Jack on his ass, sending him rolling down the stairs.
