Chapter 172
'Revealing too much in one go is not good either that much is fine for now if she is good enough then she can become an investor in the business ' Rex thought
Rex had already achieved the effect he wanted so he changed the topic
Ariana did not believe that Rex knew just one or two things about Artifact Refining but when she saw that he changed the topic she didn't tried to get back to it
"There is only one place where you could find all these things at once.. its the city's main market, this market is at the center of the city there are all kind of shops and stall there
But I advise that Young Master only buy from big shops that are there for a long time although the price may be high but the item they will give will not be fake" Ariana explained
"I see thanks for the advice," Rex said then he left the inn and headed out for the main market
Rex walked on the road instead of flying because common people are not allowed to fly inside the city
When Rex reached the market he saw many people roaming around or setting up stalls
Rex was surprised when he saw them because he hadn't seen that many people in the whole city since he came here
'If there are so many people here at this time then how many people used to come here when Corentis was in its peak state' (Rex)
Rex also saw a stall who was selling many colorful monster flames but Rex excitement died down when he saw that these monster flames were very weak
If they are measured according to the ranking system given by Alchemist Association then these monster flames don't even come in top 200 in monster fire ranking
Rex was just walking around to search for a good shop that could meet his requirements but at this time a thin man blocked his way
"This sir are you new to the city market?" He asked with a smile
"Eh" Rex just nodded
"I am Clin, I am a local guide here I know about all the shops here if you would like I can be your guide for 3 low-grade spirit stone," The man said with a smile
Rex agreed instantly because 3 low-grade spirit stone wasn't much for him and it will also save time for him, Rex told him about all the things he wanted to buy
"There is one place that meets all your requirements and that is Azure Dragon Pavilion," The guide said
Rex didn't hesitated and agreed he was in a hurry to collect the ingredients
They both walked to the Azure Dragon Pavilion
The Azure Dragon Pavilion was not big as Blue Hills Inn compared in size but it was taller than it, It was a five-story building with several fascinating decorations on it
After they reached the pavilion Clin stopped and stood aside to make way for Rex
Rex didn't understood his meaning so Clin explained it to him
"Azure Dragon Pavilion is a place where only people with riches and status can enter they won't let a guide like me enter for no reason," Clin said awkwardly
Rex sighed he wanted to bring him in but he didn't wanted to waste time by causing trouble right now so he gave up and entered the pavilion
When Rex entered the pavilion a strong scent assaulted his nose, it wasn't to calm heart like in Blue Hills Inn, it was more like it was there to make people feel a little intoxicated that's why Rex didn't liked it and stopped his breathing
Things related to intoxication was never a good thing for Rex
The whole 1st floor of the Azure Dragon Pavilion was filled with expensive looking furniture and artworks but that was not all Rex saw, all the woman working on the first floor had heavy makeup on their faces and were wearing short clothes with a cutting design which showed their cleavage clearly
The badge on their chest and same azure color of the dress made it easy to differentiate them from customers
It didn't take a genius to figure out the business strategy of Azure Dragon Pavilion
'To think even people here use this kind of business strategy' Rex thought when he saw that how many women around him were tricking the customers to buy useless things
[You think so, I thought you will take full advantage of the situation]
'Oh please, I am not just interested in flesh furthermore this is the last thing on my taste list... I focus more on temperament, personality, style, trust…..etc' (Rex)
When Rex entered the pavilion he caught the eyes of many women workers but because he was only wearing plain clothes instead of expensive looking clothes like other people around him no one chose the waste their time on him
Rex didn't mind that either he just walked to the counter and spoke to the girl standing beside it
"Miss I want to buy few things can you check the list and tell me if I can found them here" Rex smiled and asked politely as he took out a list and gave it to the girl
The girl was not much interested in taking his order but when Rex smiled she returned a smile and decided to take it
"Don't worry at present Azure Dragon Pavilion is the best place to buy anything in Corentis" She said then she looked at the list
"Hey there girl bring me the special Azure Hot & Cold Wine" A youth came from behind Rex
He looked like he was drunk, there were two women beside him one on his left and the other on his right and he was holding both of their waists with one hand each but looking at the expression of both of them it didn't feel like they were bothered by it more ever they had a hint of red tone on their cheek, for Rex it was hard to tell if they were blushing or it was just makeup
"Welcome Young Master Lu I will just finish this Sir's order in a minute then I will attend to yours" The girl at the reception said politely
Young Master Lu was dissatisfied by her words he first looked at Rex but when he saw that Rex was just wearing plain clothes he gave him a disdainful look then looked back at the girl
"Do you think he is more important than me" Young Master Lu said in a bad tone as he pointed at Rex
"Huh? no, I didn't mean that .. it's just he came first so…" The girl at the reception was obliviously not prepared for this so she tried to explain
"So what… don't you know who is Young Master Lu he is heir to Lu family at present it's one of the four main families in Corentis" The girl on Young Master Lu's left side spoke
It was a chance to flatter him how can she let this opportunity go but the other girl was not behind either
"Yeah, you don't have eyes to differentiate good from bad... what are you still thinking about do it fast or do you don't want to work here anymore" The girl on his right spoke too
The girl at the counter looked at Rex apologetically
There was not much left to say, Rex just smiled at her then he took back the list from her hand and walked back towards the exit
The girl was thankful that Rex understood her situation but she was also a little regretful for humiliating him like that
'You can't blame me for this power and background are everything in this world' She thought
Although Rex was angry he still didn't wanted to make trouble so he chose to be low key and leave but..
"Hey you who said you can leave," Young Master Lu said when he saw that Rex left without saying anything or even looking back at him
Rex ignored him and kept walking
When Young Master Lu saw that he was more angry
"Tch.. a spineless coward" He mocked
But Rex had no effect he kept walking
"Young Master Lu don't mind him he is just a coward who must have came here just to witness how grand the pavilion is," The woman on his left said
"Yeah I think we should ask the owner to hire a good watchman who can take care of such losers," The woman on the right sight said
'Control Rex control... these are just ants. yes ants how can I get angry at them' Rex held his anger back
"Hahaha... You girls are right I think he is just showing what his useless parents taught him.. maybe his whole family is like that" Young Master Lu laughed
Rex was just a few meters away from the exit but when these words reached his ears he halted his steps
