Lamenting his fate, no one bothered to look at him, treating him like air, like he never existed.
After the last incident, they all learnt a lesson "Never Judge A Man By His Looks" topic that wasn't even taught in the biggest universities on earth, making it a precious enough to learn. It would have taken a major role on every persons road to success.
But anyway "Lesson Thought By Experience Were Always The Best" leading to the saying "We From Our Defeat To Grow Stronger" " Failure Leads To Success, Because After Overcoming Failure What Comes Next."
Infact there were many life lesson to learn from Eric's shameless act, although it wasn't intentional.
And instead of appreciating and thanking him, they all hated him, repaying great kindness with evil.
After all Eric was on his own before they rushed him, without being able to say a word, depriving him off his customer right.
Rights? There was nothing like court in this era, Strength was Judgement.
After a whole minute of remencing in his own memories, Eric took a forceful breath.
"Since no one wants to lead , I guess it's time to put my memory to use"
As a top student of sky walk high school , who was always in the leading position, his brain was well developed and retentive, although not photographic it wasn't far off , or you could say it was comparable to those Kdrama detectives.
Due to unknown reasons what happened that day was a clear as day in his mind, so he remembered every nook and cranny of those floors, especially the prices of each equipment that scared him shit.
"Thankfully am here to reclaim my dignity money isn't an issue anymore" said Eric after cashing out a whooping of 13.5 million federation dollars.
If it was on earth, he would have been a well known celebrity in the country, but sadly this was cosmic star world where such amount were equal to trash, and billions are spent daily seeking ways to improve one's strength.
...
Eric soon found the steps to the second floor.
Seeing this... They all wanted to warn him before deciding to shut up, but those who were here during the last incident, left him to his fate, expecting another show.
Since he wasn't properly dealt with the previous time.
...
Second floor, Eric had been going all around, checking out each equipment, but non of them was to his liking or so he felt, some people kept following him, waiting for Eric to make a fool off himself.
...
It had been 15 minutes since he came up here, yet with nothing (Indeed money changes taste). "I have no other option then"
"Heh?"
" Look he is going up!"
" Are you kidding me?"
" I heard that kid caused a chaos here last time he came and was almost killed"
"If not for the branch manager, he really would have been beaten to death for a playing such a prank"
" Seems he'll never learn, untill he is taught a lesson"
" Indeed, what a poor kid"
" He's sure gonna be dealt with this time around"
They all gathered looking at Eric residing figure walking up the stairs, sadly they couldn't go up and watch without wanting to buy anything, apart from the workers here, no one was allowed entry without wanting to buy anything.
...
On the third floor, Eric walked towards the assistant branch manager who was wearing stainless eye glass with a serious expression, as he stared between two holographic images before him, like a was searching for something.
"Hello?!"
"Hi" the assistant manager replied sarcastically without bothering to give Eric a glance.
Eric said nothing else as he waited in silence.
It took a while a before he glanced at the standing Eric, fixing his glass like a refined scholar , if not for his notorious reputation of beating up people to death, if they decided to play crafty or try to run with stolen items, Eric would have really have mistaken him for someone like that.
Looking at Eric without any ounce of anger on his face, as if this was their first time seeing each other, or he never wanted to combust Eric's head before.
Without trying to beat around the bush, because he knew any wrong word and he would be thrown out the window.
"I would like to pay my debt" Eric said, breaking the silence atmosphere.
" You said? " the man questioned
"I would like to pay my debt "
His expression changed , as began looking at Eric with a look of interest, "Did he win a lotto or hit a jackpot?
If Eric knew his thought he would have been shocked by the assistants prediction mind, because he ideed hit a jackpot earning him a whooping sum of 13 million federation dollars, making a low-key celeb.
Still no one would believe him, no matter what he said.
"So I was harassed for $10,000?" Eric spoke in a way only rich people could understand.
"How about I double it?"
" I want the most expensive equipment on this floor"
" Young man does my Magic Items Shop looks like a joke to you?"
" If you don't stop this nonsense this instant, am afraid it won't end well for you"
Hearing his treathening reply, Eric knew this was gonna happen in the first place, but he was never afraid of him attacking like last time since he already had the strength to kill silver rank mystics.
As the saying goes "Action Is Better Than Words" and that wasn't close from the truth, bit have you ever heard anything more better than action? "MONEY" yes money far better than action, because you don't need to take actions when people know your amount of wealth.
Blocking the first two digit, Eric showed the amount of zero's he had in his account balance.
...
... ... ... Silence... absolute silence filled the whole floor.
one two three four five six
Seeing the six zero's, he recounted it three times in total, not believing Eric had such amount, was he really mistaken or was Eric an arrogant young master trying to face slapping him?
Meanwhile Eric quoted in his mind "If I Don't Have Today, ItDoesn't Mean I Won't Have Tommorow"
And that was the truth, because even the richest men on earth started from nothing to something, wealth never fell from heaven.
But no one cared to know their stories, only seeing their success and results,such were humans.
Wealth was sought and worked for with different kinds of sacrifice, even Eric almost his life .
...
After confirming that the assistant manager had seen enough he took back his phone from his face that was treathening to enter through the screen.
The assistant manager was filled with smile as he readdressed Eric " Young Sir, I apologise for the inconveniences my incompetent self caused you, please have a sit let me offer you some tea" as usual Eric was not surprised , humans were fickle by nature.
Thinking to his self "You See This Life...? Have Money" so that even your father age mates will add "Sir" to your name when they address you.
