Weapon seller in the world of magic-Novel

Genesis Store, Imperial City;

On the first floor residence, as Song Yue and Lin Xue were enjoying the delicacies prepared by Alina, the latter came downstairs and opened the shutter to resume the business.

Since Song Yue no longer needed her company, Alina doesn't have any reason not to open the store as it is only hurting her beloved master's income. She walked to the board from the entrance and wiped off the words about out of stock and wrote that the store is open, although 9mm bullets are out of stock.

​ Alina understands Mark more than anyone else. She knew how much of a time-consuming task it is for her master to create hundreds and thousands of 9mm bullets. If it is a month ago, then, it would be different but now, considering the wealth of her master and the popularity of the store, they aren't in a desperate need to sell those low-level and cheap items.

Taking it as an opportunity, the female Android decided to promote the Ak-series. But, to her surprise, before she even got the opportunity to sell them to the common public, an old man had reached the spot and disrupted the business. One can say it is indeed a pure coincidence.

At first, Alina thought that he was a customer and treated him like one. "Welcome to Genesis Weapon Store. What are you looking to buy?"

But then, his following reply made her realize the situation, "My name is Song Tai and I'm here to take back my great-granddaughter, Song Yue."

After scanning him, Alina realized that he wasn't someone she could fight head-on as her master warned her. But then again, inside the store, all of his strength is useless. So, she dared to act boldly even in front of an esteemed Spirit Warrior like Song Tai.

Making an uninterested face, Alina pointed her finger at the ceiling, "She's upstairs but you cannot meet her until my master returns. Please come again two to three hours later if you aren't here as a customer. Thank you."

Song Tai furrowed his brows as he inspected her through his senses. "A puppet?" His eyes then wandered around, "A divine suppression and a top-grade puppet that can talk? This store is indeed as mysterious as Lin Xue mentioned it to be."

Upon realizing that Alina is not a human, he almost gave up on persuading her because the puppets and the beasts cannot be reasoned with. Their masters' orders are absolute. But, the problem here is that he cannot use his ether energy.

As a Master swordsman, he was also physically trained. He can use his fists or worse, he can depend on his semi-divine grade sword.

Even after he takes everything into consideration, he still doesn't have any idea how strong Alina is. It would be a foolish idea to use force when there's an unclear outcome.

Hmm, maybe, should he grab her by surprise and threw her out of the store and then, defeat her outside where his powers aren't restricted? Such a thought also crossed his mind.

However, considering that Alina looked a bit special when compared to other puppets he had witnessed in his life, he wondered about giving it a try.

After thinking briefly, Song Tai said to Alina, "Then, I would like to talk with her. I don't have the strength to take away her in your presence. If she wants to come with me, then, everything can be solved right away."

"I would very much want to kick her out… *Ahem* I mean, I wished for this problem to be solved too but my master strictly told me to not let anyone except for Lin Xue to meet her and I'm permitted to go all out to stop the person. So, I will once again ask you to either wait or return after two hours." Alina tried to deal with Song Tai as patiently as possible but even she has limits.

She decided to kick him by force if he continues to irritate her by talking about Song Yue once again.

Thankfully, Song Tai didn't do it. He simply nodded, "I understand. I will wait but I can meet Lin Xue, right? Go and tell her that Song Tai is here."

If it is someone else who had a powerful cultivation base, they would have already attacked to protect their pride but Song Tai only acts against evil, which is harmful to the society.

And here, he doesn't see any bad thing. The only thing that he needed to confirm is whether Song Yue was taking shelter here or was the owner keeping her as a hostage.

If he cannot meet his great-granddaughter, then, that's alright. But, there's no restriction on Lin Xue. On top of that, he could also let Song Yue know that he is here. He cannot use force but she can come to him on her own, right?

If Mark was here, he might be able to guess his thoughts but Alina is, after all, a puppet in Song Tai's eyes. She can be straightforward, make logical decisions, or simply follow her master's orders. She cannot scheme around.

As a result, she went upstairs and informed Lin Xue about Song Tai's arrival. And just like the latter expected, both of the ladies rose to their feet and proceeded to go downstairs but this is where Song Tai had underestimated Alina's resolution and Song Yue's trust in Mark.

Following her master's orders, to stop her from meeting Song Tai, she informed whatever Mark had told her. She left the decision to her.

Alina came downstairs. Lin Xue came downstairs but Song Yue didn't. She stayed behind as she didn't treat this place as some sort of inn where she can check in and check out at any time she wanted to.

Song Yue felt indebted to Mark and that's why she respected his wishes and didn't meet her great grandfather. At the very least, she can do that.

Upon reaching downstairs and meeting the ancestor of the Song Clan, Lin Xue said, "Grandpa Song, I apologize but she says that she will wait for Owner Lu. It was her decision." One could see a trace of worry on her face regarding possible consequences.

Song Tai was naturally surprised. Normally, he would have left but since he was bound by an oath, he took a seat nearby, "I will wait."

Alina narrowed her eyes and stared at him.

Song Tai looked back at her, "what?"

Alina said, "This is a weapon store, Mr. Song. We only sell weapons here. If you aren't either a guest of my master or a customer of the store, then, you cannot stay here. It will disrupt our business."

Lin Xue furrowed her brows, feeling that this busty woman is insulting an esteemed person like Song Tai who can even dictate terms to the Emperor. "Ms. Alina, you cannot talk that way to Grandpa Song."

It is one thing if Mark talks that way, but despite being strong, Alina is a servant right?

More than Alina's behavior, Lin Xue was more worried about how the old would react.

Lin Xue didn't know that Alina isn't human but Song Tai does. So, he didn't take her words to the heart and showed his magnanimity, "It's alright. Since I have to wait anyway, I will spend the time wisely. Show me all the weapons your store has to offer."
