Weapon seller in the world of magic

"Hmm, this girl came instead of Song Yue?" As soon as Mark found Lin Xue entering the store, he had an inkling that she was probably here for collecting the order as well as giving him Song Yue's message. Considering all the events that happened, he felt it was a high possibility.

He was a little bit disappointed that his favorite customer hasn't returned. Mark was looking forward to meeting her not because he missed her or something. He doesn't care about her order either when he received a much large order than hers. What he was hoping is to introduce the exclusive weapons to her.

Since they might not be his customers, he didn't bother to go ahead and greet them and just stayed silent, observing their reactions instead. With her social status being a lot higher, maybe, the suppression effect of the store will surprise them and also increase the store's reputation through their mouths. Other than that, there's nothing that he wanted from Lin Clan's heiress.

Just as he expected, Mark saw a change in their facial expressions. He laughed inside when he saw they stepped outside in reflex. He waited until they step inside once again and talk to Allen.

"I'm here on behalf of Song Yue to collect the goods." Lin Xue told him. At the same time, she observed him a bit carefully. With the extraordinary strength that he displayed especially with the sword, her curiosity about him increased a little bit. Of course, his handsome looks, and indifferent eyes, which don't fake even in front of her was a bonus.

Upon hearing her words, without even bothering to inform Mark, Allen pointed the board below the shelves. "We only deliver the goods to the customer that paid the money or to the one that customer had named while paying."

Lin Xue and Yao Ling turned towards the direction where the Android's finger is pointing at.

Upon reading the rules, Lin Xue deeply frowned and commented, turning her head towards the counter, "You are quite arrogant with the rules, Owner Lu."

Mark simply let out a fake smile and replied, "I have my own principles, Lady Lin. It will be the same whether the customer is a commoner or noble. To what extent would I go to uphold my principles, I guess you already know the result."

Along with a simple answer, he purposely reminded her about the Song Mansion incident. Mark was always respectful towards the customers. However, after confirming Lin Xue isn't one, he wasn't interested to entertain her.

"Anyway, you can go back and tell Lady Song that if she wants the goods she ordered, she has to come in person and take them. Since she was a regular customer of our store, I can make an exception for her to return her advance payment if she cancels the order." After stating his intentions clear, he calmly took his seat.

"You…" Lin Xue was a little bit angered by his response. Until now, she felt that Mark should be grateful towards the palace for not indicting him for the crime he committed. After all, Song Yun isn't a simple noble. He is a minister and head of a major clan, highly favored by the Emperor himself. Attacking a minister is a serious offense in the Empire.

The palace didn't the action on him, only because of Song Yue, who requested the third prince to leave this matter alone. Even though she was angered that Mark attacked her father, still, the fault lies with Song Yun.

Her mother also relayed the words Mark told her while leaving.

"It was because she was a customer of the store, her father gets to live. It is because she is the customer of Genesis store, Song Yue was rescued from a kidnap."

How a kind person like her would still ask for revenge even after knowing the reality?

She also requested her fiancée Zhang Kong and her bestie Lin Xue to leave the matter alone and not to look for revenge.

This was how Song Yue saved the store.

However, as she was a bit embarrassed to appear in person, she requested her friend to go in place of her to collect the weapons she ordered and also give her thanks as well as forgiveness to him.

But, she was still the heiress of Lin Clan. Saying such things to a commoner like Mark will damage her pride. So, she never mentioned it even after Mark spoke to her rudely. At the same time, she could not go back empty-handed. Her pride won't allow that too.

Should she resort to threats? No, it is below her dignity. Should she request once again? No, it is below her dignity. Should she just buy those exact things paying the same amount of money? No, that will make her a loser and Mark a winner.

What should she do, then? Lin Xue racked her brains to look for a solution. It was then, her eyes fell on Allen and a thought appeared in her mind. Should she challenge? That's a good idea but will the owner agree to it?

Lin Xue then thought of the owner's greedy and arrogant nature and formed a plan. In this way, her curiosity about Allen will be satisfied, the owner will agree, and her friend will also receive her goods.

She immediately threw a challenge at Mark, "How about this. Your worker and I will go for a sword battle. No ether energy will be involved. If he is even able to land a single hit on me, then, I will pay you 200 gold coins and buy all the things that Song Yue ordered in advance but failed to receive them." Lin Xue then glanced at Allen, "How about it? Are you confident in his skill?"

"Sword challenge?" Mark's smile wiped off his face, replaced by a frown for a moment before his face glowed in excitement, "I hope you won't go back on your promise."
