Chapter 936: Time To Become The Faceless Assassin
After leaving the auction house, Kent moved in the direction of a store that sells weapons.
In his mind, whether the lady lived or died was none of his business.
Well, that was his thought at first. However, now he would do everything in his power to protect the lady for two reasons.
First, he planned on obtaining the Soul Puppet Refining Technique from her.
The feeling he got whenever he heard discussions about soul refining was exactly the same feeling he experienced when he first held a sword or lit his first flame.
That excitement was the drive he felt at the moment, compelling him to seek out this Soul Puppet Refining Art for himself.
The dedication on the lady’s face while bidding for the forsaken soul spirit was enough to tell him what he needed to know.
The second reason, of course, was to build future connections.
If he managed to win her trust, which he could by simply saving her sorry ass, then in the future, he would not have to struggle much.
With how much chaos his name is already causing in the future, he knew he must build some connections here now.
So Kent chose to save her, and at that moment, he planned on using his past life as the Faceless Assassin to handle this threat.
So far, he could sense twenty powerful presences in the city, each eyeing the two gates leading in and out of the city. Some were also monitoring the teleportation channels and other modes of travel in and out of the city.
They wanted the soul spirit, and they would do anything in their power to obtain it.
“I don’t know much of Faceless life, but I know enough to get the job done,” Kent sighed. “I don’t know what will happen if I were to dive back into my past life memories, so I will make do with what I have now.
After all, I already have the Faceless Art and a few dagger techniques. I also have extensive knowledge when it comes to poison, thanks to my alchemy path, so this should be easy.”
An evil smile appeared on Kent’s face. “I doubt Faceless ever had a Soul Map that could look eighty thousand kilometres around him.”
After a couple of minutes of walking, Kent arrived at a three-story store that sells only weapons.
“Welcome to Green Bridge Weapons Shop. How can we be of service, handsome?” a lady greeted Kent as soon as he walked in.
Kent, polite and easygoing as ever, smiled and responded, “I am looking to buy some weapons today.”
“Oh, do you plan on going hunting?” the lady asked with a smile.
“Something like that.” Kent, of course, did not tell her that he indeed planned on going hunting and that his first target was just twelve blocks away.
The lady smiled and said, “What type of weapons do you prefer? We have all kinds of weapons.”
“I plan on buying a dagger or two.” Kent looked around and added, “I wouldn’t want to stress you, so if you don’t mind, kindly take me to where the top-quality daggers are displayed.”
The lady raised her brow at Kent’s words. She studied him for a few moments, unsure whether to take him seriously.
In the end, she shook her head and gestured for him to follow her.
Meanwhile, the other workers around smirked when they saw the lady leading Kent up the stairs.
“If selling a top-shelf item were that simple, do you think any of us would still be here now?”
“What a loser. She thinks just any Core Formation failure that enters the store has what it takes to buy our top-shelf products.”
“I know, right? She’s just desperate to make a big sale since she hasn’t sold anything for the past three months.”
“Yeah. If she fails to make a sale in the next two days, I’m sure she’ll be sent to one of the smaller stores in the other towns.”
While they ridiculed her, she acted as though she hadn’t heard them and led Kent past the second floor until they arrived at the top floor.
Kent was shocked to see only fourteen items there. The lady noticed the look in his eyes and chose to address it.
“This isn’t the main store in this city. If you want the top-tier items, you’ll need to visit the main store, located here in the Central Region. It’s about 60 thousand kilometres from here”
“I see.” Kent walked closer to the only dagger on display and picked it up.
“This is the Silver Wolf Dagger. It is a Mystical-grade dagger made from the bone of a Tier 17 Wolf. Special runes have been imbued into it that make it faster when thrown or swung.”
Kent looked at the price tag and smiled.
“Just ten million,” he muttered, causing the lady to raise her brow.
Of course, he knew ten million here was several times more expensive in a Medium World. However, with the wealth he had accumulated, ten million is mere change for him.
He casually scanned the dagger and placed it back before looking at the other items.
There was a normal bow, a crossbow, a couple of swords, and a gauntlet. The most expensive item there was the gauntlet. Although it was also a Mystical-grade item, its price tag was fifty million spirit stones.
Kent turned and looked at the lady. “What is your name?”
“Veth…” Although she didn’t know why Kent asked for her name, she answered anyway.
Kent smiled. “Well, Veth, today is your lucky day. I’ll be buying all fourteen items here. I hope that will be enough to raise your standing in this humble store.”
For a moment, Veth stood frozen, unsure of how to react. When she managed to regain her composure, she looked at Kent with widened eyes.
“Are you being serious?” she asked.
Kent smiled. “Of course I am. I heard how those four spoke ill of you, and while I’m not in the business of saving fairies in distress, you endured all that and still maintained your professionalism, never looking down on me.
So, I’ll reward you. Buying all these items will surely elevate your status.”
Veth didn’t say anything. She stood there for a few minutes before suddenly going down on her knees to thank Kent.
“No need for that. You should hurry and complete this sale so you can earn your commission.”
Veth stood up, and with a smile suppressing a full-blown laugh, she retrieved a jade crystal and channelled her energy into it.
Three lights—white, blue, and purple—appeared on the crystal. She selected the purple, and then she began scanning the items. In no time, all fourteen items were scanned.
“Altogether will be two hundred and forty million spirit stones. With the discount applied to all fourteen items, you’ll only need to pay one hundred and ninety million.”
Kent took out his bank card and tapped it against the crystal in Veth’s hand. One hundred and ninety million was deducted from his account.
“And now for your commission. Take out your own personal bank card,” Veth raised her brow with a surprise expression as Kent deposited the remaining fifty million into it.
He waved his hand, and all fourteen items vanished into his space ring.
“On that note, nice doing business with you, Veth.” Kent began walking toward the door. Veth followed him, and on the way, she asked for Kent’s name.
The dragon bastard smiled and looked at her. “I am Kent Madson. Be sure never to forget it.”
When they reached the ground floor, Kent didn’t even bother to look at the other workers who had badmouthed Veth and left.
After he was gone, Veth retrieved the jade crystal and tapped it against a much larger jade crystal. When it lit up purple, every last jaw dropped.
