Chapter 116 - 116: Opening The Weapon Shop
The next morning, Theo, with the permission of the Orphanage sisters, Aine and Nanda, began to dig an underground cavern. This was where he would put the White Lion King's Workshop because, with all this free space and powerful reinforcements, they could train without having to worry about having other beings watching them and learning about their techniques and strengths.
This preparation was also for him to get used to his current strength and even for the girls to train more freely. Especially he who wants to fight someone who is five layers or higher in cultivation than he is.
It was not very difficult for him to be able to fully dig the underground site, because his current cultivation is so high and he was digging in his Golden Fox form. Also, the girls, Shina, Yuki, Zaira, Zaika and Little Yui were helping him.
They were always standing at Theo's side, wanting to help him. Although Theo was always saying that they should use this time to cultivate and to just let him handle it, they still refused to let him do it all by himself and stepped in to help him with the work.
Two days later, they had succeeded, and it was also the day that the Weapon Shop would be opened.
Theo found it strange that in those days that passed, the Kenedy family's Maura no longer sent assassins to the Orphanage. But still, Theo was on alert and kept the formation that was around the Orphanage active a lot of the time. It was usually only when he was asleep or in the Dimensional Room that he had the formation active.
Meanwhile, sisters Nanda and Aine were well aware of the formation's existence. They were very grateful for its presence since it kept them safer. They also became aware that Theo knew about the Kenedy Family and that they were interested in buying the Orphanage.
Although Theo told them that he wanted to help, the sisters said he was already helping them more than enough, mostly because of the Weapons Shop, which would make them more than enough to support the Orphanage. In fact, it would be so much money that they could still invest in theirs and the Orphanage's future.
But even though Theo agreed… he knew it was always good to be alert! Especially for beings who don't mind harming children. Even if they didn't want him to do it for them, he would do it for himself, simply because he doesn't like those kinds of people.
Besides, he had already killed other beings for much less than that…
"Daddy, can we train in this great hall from now on?" Little Yui approached Theo and tilted her head, placing her index finger on her mouth in an adorably thoughtful way.
Theo couldn't help but want to pinch the cheeks of this cute creature!
Theo smiled, "Yes, you can train here whenever you want."
"Oh, Yui really wants to train! I want to fight Daddy too!" Little Yui said, hugging him with her small, delicate arms around Theo's waist.
Theo smiled affectionately at her, running his hand over the top of her head, slightly ruffling her beautiful soft white hair. "Of course, but we'll have to leave that for another time, because soon the store will open and I want to see how it goes, okay?!"
"Yeah, Yui wants to see it too!" She said with a lovely smile.
A short while later, Theo, Shina, Yuki, Zaika, Zaira and Little Yui headed toward where the Weapon Shop was being opened.
The Orphanage girls had already left one of the older girls to look after the children in their absence. Theo also said that before leaving, he would activate the magic formation, just in case. Then they could go to the Weapon Shop without worrying that something terrible might happen to the children in their absence.
They soon arrived at the store. Although Theo had already expected this… he noticed that there was no one in the Weapon Shop they had just opened. Well, like it or not… they still had no name in the trade. Also, weapons have a high value, and because of that, only those who had a lot of money would buy them.
But Theo already expected that would happen. And it wasn't as if he hadn't thought of a countermeasure… Theo and the others moved even closer to the store and went in.
"Welcome… Oh, it's you!" The Orphanage girls smiled beautifully at them and said, "What do you think of the store? Is it good?"
"Very good!" Theo complimented.
"I liked it too!" Shina and they agreed.
Nanda said with a weak smile, "Yeah. Although it's been open for some time, we don't have any clients yet, I'm sorry!" She bowed toward Theo. She thought that it was their fault because they were from the Orphanage and didn't have any reputation in the trade that they couldn't attract any customers to the store.
Aine and the other girls from the Orphanage followed Nanda's lead and also bowed toward Theo. Of course, at no time did Theo blame them.
He smiled kindly at them and said, "Stop bowing to me, you don't have to apologize for it, because I suspected that we couldn't attract attention so easily without a name in the business. But, that doesn't mean it's going to stay that way for long!"
"That…" The Orphanage girls' eyes sparkled, they weren't stupid, and from Theo's words, they had presumed that he had thought of something.
Aine lifted her head and looked into Theo's eyes with her beautiful purple eyes and asked, "Do you have a way to change this?"
Theo laughed a little and said, "I thought of something. I'm not sure if it will work, but of course, it's better to try than to do nothing, right?"
"Oh, yes, I agree too! If there's anything we can do to help, just let us know!" Nanda said with a charming smile.
"You guys are already helping a lot!" Theo swept his golden eyes toward them and said, smiling, "But you know that if I need more of your help, I'll ask, okay?"
They smiled, relieved and pleased, and Aine said, "Of course, we would be more than happy to help!"
Theo nodded and looked at Yuki and them and said, "I'm heading out for a bit, but I'll be right back, okay!?"
"Okay!" They agreed.
