Chapter 54 - The Majestic
Chapter 54 - The Majestic
"Young Master Ghost, is this your shop?" Amidst the busy bustling streets of Bradford, two pegasuses(or 'pegasi') landed on the street as two youngsters, one young girl and a man in his early thirties descended on the ground.
Obviously, the two youngsters were Michael and Ricky, the young girl was Gaya and the last was Daniel. The one who asked the question was Ricky. Apparently, Ricky's eyes opened wide in surprise, but his surprised face turned gloomy after seeing the empty interior of the shop.
"Ricky, Daniel" Instead of directly going into the store, Michael called his two henchmen to step closer to him.
"From here on, call me Master Ghost, drop the Young, it's really awkward, especially when you use it" He looked at Ricky when he said the last part.
Michael would have ordered them to call him 'Sir' but apparently in this world, calling someone Master was more respectful than calling him, Sir.
For the 'Young' part, he felt awkward when someone called him 'Young Master', especially someone who was just a year or two older than him like Ricky.
"Huh?" Ricky and Daniel tilted their heads and looked at him confused but a few moments later, they nodded as they had no plan to go against his orders considering the pay he promised.
"And I'd like to hear them call me Your Royal Highness" Gaya mumbled under her breath.
"You two put the pegasus on the side and clean this place"
Then he bought out some decorative objects from his System store to decorate his store with. These include things like wallpaper, fancy sofa and chairs in a modern style, some decorative ornaments meant for the glass window, and some colorful lights, which had never been seen by anyone in the Cultivation World before.
"You got another one?!'' When he put down the sofa, Gaya couldn't hide her shock but she quickly landed her butt into the fluffy sofa.
"Quit playing and come help me with this, you damn snake" he knocked on the head as she stood up massaging her head where he knocked.
"Ah! jerk"
Daniel and Ricky missed this little quarrel as the four of them began to clean and decorate the store.
With the help of the two hardworking henchmen and one lazy snake, he set about doing his job quickly. He dispersed all the beautiful, modern decorations around the store, illuminating the lights with Arch energy.
Little by little the people who were roaming on the streets noticed this and were surprised by what they had seen but because of the dark curtains covering the windows, they still couldn't see clearly what's going on inside.
They worked for almost two hours and though some of the onlookers left, soon, many other people arrived. After all, these objects were all very fancy and included things that they had never laid eyes on before. Even though the decorations were temporary, he did his best to make the shop look the best.
Finally, after all the decorations had been done, he bought a giant blank board and placed them on the ground.
"What do we name our shop?" Of course, he needed a badass name for the shop because he didn't plan to be done with one shop but create an empire of businesses.
"Aelia Alchemy! Aelia Alchemy!" Like the only kid who had done the homework, Gaya raised her arm and excitedly shouted. And just like the kids who never touched the homework, Ricky and Daniel gawked at each other awkwardly.
"You wish, humph"
"You have no taste!" she pouted but he ignored her and picked his mind for a better name.
"The Majestic"
"Ah...what?" Who would name a single shop The Majestic, Gaya thought, and even the two henchmen frowned.
As the main pillar of the shop, Alchemist, what he could do was concoct the pills and brew the potions while Ricky and Daniel stand guard outside.
Gaya on the other hand, wrote down the effects of each pill and potion on the billboard so that the customers could place orders accordingly.
Now, everything was ready.
"Okay, let's set a small goal of earning three hundred thousand gold on an opening day!" He calmly said to the three in front of them.
Hearing his goal, Ricky and Daniel freaked out as they only knew that he's an Alchemist but they had no idea what star Alchemist he is.
Is he planning to earn three hundred gold on an opening day?
How... how could this be possible?
Regardless of whether or not the two were believing this, he was quite confident himself, so was Gaya.
"Alright, Aelia, put the menu outside, and let's make some money!!"
"MONEY!" Gaya shouted with vigorous spirit and paced towards the outside where a lot of curious onlookers had already gathered.
Many people were discussing the commodity of the store, for the renovation style was so novelty that none of them had ever seen anything like in the past.
Also, some people were looking forward to witnessing the Baron's wrath for beating his daughter's bodyguards.
Finally, he ordered Ricky to remove the curtains and let the people outside bask in the glory of his new shop. Being fully surprised, all onlookers stared at the store with curiosity.
Along with the lifting of dark curtains, a typical Manhattan boutique-style shop came into view of the onlookers. All onlookers were totally shocked and dumbfounded.
"Awesome! It's really beautiful!"
"Look at that! It really turns me on!"
"Wow look at those spotless windows and the interior!"
"Gee, look, it seems it's an Alchemy store!"
"Woah! A healing pill cost 13000 gold?!"
"Shit, he has Revitalizing pills for sale!"
"I can't afford this, this is day time robbery!"
'Why don't he go rob the king?!"
As these onlookers started to read the menu on the billboards, they trembled at the sight of the prices. Their eyes widened in great shock.
"My God! This must be one wicked store!"
