I Shall Cuck Everyone

Chapter 290 Sword Waifu [part 1]

"So, Mister, there are many types of ability crystals here. Tell me the type you want, and I'll tell if it's available," the old man asks with a light smile. Though his smile looks rather creepy because of the dried crumbs of food on his mustache and beard.

"Well, I need a speed-related ability crystal," I answer, trying to keep my tone casual and not draw too much attention to myself.

The man looks at me for a few moments before speaking up. "Mister, I need you to remove your hood because of security reasons. I am sorry if you feel offended by my words," the man says with a slight bow.

"No problem," I oblige, pulling down my hood to reveal my face.

The moment the man sees my face, he hastily springs up from his seat and bows his head, almost touching the ground. "I... I am sorry, your highness. Forgive this old man!!" he says with an anxious tremor in his voice.

Sigh, I should have changed my appearance. Being recognized can be both a blessing and a curse.

"Sigh, no need to cause a ruckus. I didn't want to attract attention to myself; that's why I wore this hoodie," I say, trying to ease his nervousness and gesturing for him to rise.

"Ahem... Alright then, I have different varieties of speed-related ability crystals. Follow me, please, your highness," the old man says with a slight bow, his demeanor composed now that he knows my true identity.

I follow the old man to a back room, away from the prying eyes of the market. The room is dimly lit, with various shelves lined with ability crystals of all shapes and sizes. I didn't realize that this shop is damn wide!

"These are the speed-related ability crystals," the old man says, waving his hand towards a particular shelf. "Some enhance your reflexes, others grant the gift of superhuman speed, and a few even allow you to manipulate time to an extent. Choose wisely, your highness."

I take my time inspecting each crystal, weighing their powers and effects in my mind. It's crucial to find the perfect one for Stella, something that aligns with her adventurous spirit and passion for exploration.

My eyes fall upon a small, radiant crystal with a deep azure glow. The old man notices my interest and steps forward to explain its properties.

time, it goes for ten million credits."

Compared to the dollars spend on earth, the currency used is credit. A universal "This one is known as the 'Zephyrite,' your highness. It grants the user the ability to move like the wind, evading even the swiftest of attacks and traversing great distances in the blink of an eye. It also has 1000 MC cells upon merging for the first time, it goes for ten million credits."

Compared to the dollars spend on earth, the currency used is credit. A universal currency that's mostly preferred than dollars around the world.

I'm intrigued by the description, and it seems like a perfect fit for Stella's adventurous nature. "I'll take the Zephyrite," I say, my decision final.

The old man nods in approval, handling the crystal with great care inside a small brown box. "An excellent choice, your highness. This will serve your friend well."

As I pay for the crystal, I can't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. Stella will be thrilled with this gift, and it will aid her on her daring escapades.

Leaving the shop with the Zephyrite carefully tucked away in my inventory. I head towards the Bates mansion.

_____________________________________

Stopping in front of a red-colored tall building with trees surrounding it, making a fortress, I gaze at the building with a profound gaze, looking at the words boldly written above 'The Bates'.

Getting closer, I am stopped by two menacing-looking guards.

"State your purpose here and remove your hood!" one of the guards demands in an audible voice, walking towards me.

"Move aside," I mutter, my eyes glowing bright red, a manifestation of my vampire aura.

Swallowing a lump of saliva, the guard steps aside, sensing the aura of authority and danger that surrounds me. The second guard, standing beside the entrance, is frozen in place, intimidated by the evil aura emanating from me. In the next moment, I pass by them and enter the Bates mansion. The area is quite vast with some cars parked here and there. There also seem to be a ridiculous amount of flowers growing on the walls of the house, creating a striking and unusual sight.

As I approach the red-colored building, I decide to remove my hood. Just then, a white-haired butler appears out of thin air and starts walking towards me.

"What brings your highness here?" The butler asks, bowing his head slightly. "And sorry for appearing so rudely," he adds, a hint of formality in his demeanor.

"I'm here to see Arthur," I reply.

"Oh, the young Master? Please, follow me, your highness," The butler says, taking my hand and leading me forward. In the next moment, he teleports us to a large training field filled with red sand. In the center of the field stands Arthur, who swings a sword with clean accuracy and precision, devoid of using any aura. Each of his swings is sharp and precise, displaying the intent to kill. What makes the scene flabbergasting is that his eyes are covered with a piece of cloth, which heightens his other senses during training.

Watching from a distance, I observe the intensity of his practice. It looks familiar but I can't wrap my head around it. Fuzzy memories starts to flash in my head.

The butler guides me closer, and Arthur finally stops his relentless training, sensing my presence.

"Who's there?" he calls out, his voice carrying a hint of skepticism.

"Well, just remove the damn clothing!" I say with a somewhat frustrated sigh.

"Oh," Arthur leaks out a voice and remove the cloth wrapped around his face. The moment his gaze lands on me, a smile blooms on his face.

"I have waiting for you though. Even Excalibur has been budging me to come to the palace if you didn't show up today," Arthur says with a small smile.
