Weapon seller in the world of magic
chapter-32

"So, if Lady Song is here, can you tell her to meet us? It's our store's policy to deliver the goods to the customer who gave the money." While Song Yun was boiling in anger because of the disrespectful tone in Mark's voice, Mark just aggravated him further, implying that he was forgiving the Song Clan in exchange for the gold-grade sword.

Thirty minutes ago;

After the mysterious archer killed Yi Fang and then, proposed a huge deal, Mark was at that time was still mulling over the matter.

Earlier, he had but three options.

The first option is to meet Song Yun directly, hand over the body, and apologizing to him, not sure about the result whether he will be forgiven or Song Clan will retaliate.

The second option is to meet Song Yue instead and request her to avert this possible crisis, resulting in a positive outcome considering how lovely she is. However, Mark suspects that she or the Song Clan might take advantage of this favor that will cost him heavily in the future. Still, he could at least continue to live in the city peacefully.

The third and final option is to just leave the place and go into hiding for the next three days until the transaction is over.

Of course, in three instances, he never planned to betray the mysterious archer and let him get caught in the trap of officials as this killer was still his customer at the moment.

Mark could only stay on his side until the transaction is over. After that, in his view, this alleged six-circle archer can go to hell if he wishes. Mark doesn't care.

However, everything changed when the mysterious Archer decided to order 25 revolvers. Because in this whole deal worth three thousand gold coins, he will get to earn 1000 gold coins for weapons (100 Single-shot pistols and 25 Revolvers).

It means in three days, he will turn into a Spirit Warrior.

So, that would mean, he doesn't need to fear the Song clan anymore. That's when Mark decided to scrap those options away. He even thought of taking all the equipment on the dead body away.

While the system doesn't recognize the money earned by selling them, Mark can still use that money and buy another weapon store in another city or maybe, another kingdom.

That's what he thought.

But then, after the mysterious archer left the store left the store with a single revolver to test at his place, Mark suddenly thought, "what if the customer will not turn out after three days? Or what if the customer backs away from the deal, later?"

The pessimistic thoughts made Mark worry about the danger. Mark decided to go for the third option.

Absorbing all the weapons and bullets into his inventory, Mark stepped outside of the store and asked the Android to shut down the store. The shutter was closed and locked.

Just as Mark took the keys from Allen, suddenly he halted his footsteps because of one single notification from the system.

*Ding! You received an emergency quest.

Quest: A future God of Weapons should never cower against a mere noble of a small Empire. Charge into the Song Mansion and show them that you are a person they can't afford to mess with.

Rewards: Passive skill: Ultimate Defense.

Bonus quest: Instill fear into Song Yun and his subordinates.

Rewards: Unknown (Depend on the fear level of Song Yun)

Time limit: 60 minutes.

Note: Upon accepting the quest, the host will temporarily unlock the blueprints of 120 mm and 12.7 mm ammunition, and 40mm grenades for 60 minutes. The overall cost will be put into a loan with 1% interest per week. The Host can repay the loan at any time.

Accept?

Mark was completely stunned on the spot as soon as he read the quest details. He wanted to yell at the system for even trying to give him such a crazy quest.

He doesn't want to die another time, or worse, get captured to face the torture or being imprisoned in some kind of dark cell. Who knows what will happen if he goes against these unreasonable people with high pride.

Just a while ago, he heard the Revenue minister Nie Rougang's son injured a commoner and forcefully abducted the victim's wife in broad daylight and that too, in front of many people.

Under great pressure from the officials, the wife was returned to the husband, two days later.

Despite his wife being violated by a stranger, the poor commoner didn't raise the matter and decided to move on with their scarred life because they couldn't fight against the royal family.

The couple thought the matter has finished. But, they were so wrong.

Two days later, a mob entered the poor couple's house, killed him and his parents, and the woman was violated many times in a row and eventually died.

The matter was blamed on a neighbor who was falsely charged and ended up in prison for the next thirty years.

Everyone knows who is behind the matter and yet, no one was brave enough to even speak of it in this Imperial Empire of Phoenix.

And then, there was another similar matter that occurred over ten years ago where this time, it is the beloved nephew of the Emperor whose soldier tried to abduct a girl with a peerless beauty who was just roaming on the streets in commoner attires along with an old man.

However, little did he expect the old man was a renowned 9-circle realm of the assassin path and she's his disciple. Along with the prince, every soldier was cut into ten pieces like pieces of meat, and their parts were stored in a storage ring.

Later, the old man gave the storage ring to the Emperor as a return present for the hospitality he received from the Emperor's nephew.

Yet, the Emperor just kneeled before him and asked for forgiveness instead. After all, even the strongest warrior in the Imperial city is only in the realm of 7-circle.

With hundreds of pieces of meat, they couldn't rejoin parts for each body and had to cremate everything together.

This is the kind of world he was living in, a world, where the nobles decide the fate of commoners and yet, the strong decide the fate of the weak no matter their status. Even an Emperor who rules six million square km of land had to bow before a single person.

And certainly, he was smart enough to know his current place in this world. Mark knew that Allen wasn't strong enough to protect him if there's a person like a mysterious archer suddenly attack him.

So, he was ready to decline the quest no matter the reward but then, as his eyes fell on the reward, which says Ultimate Defense, and then, at the important note at the end, he got tempted a little.

"Explain to me about the reward," Mark asked the system.

*Ding! The system gathers a tremendous amount of natural energy and creates a barrier over the host and the store at all times. The host and the store cannot be harmed as long as he stays in the Weapon store and doesn't use ether energy.

"So, I will be safe from attacks even from 9-circle realm warrior?" he asked the system to get clarity on how much of amount of protection this skill provides.

*Ding! Unless a Demi-God launches an attack, the host is protected by the defense mechanism.

"My safety will be ensured as long as I pull this off, right?" Mark crackled his knuckles with a cold smile, "let's bring the hell to this Minister."

Present;

"Tell me, Minister Song. I'm waiting for your answer. Is our customer here or not? I'm a busy man." Mark pressed the angered noble further.
