Magic Shop System Chapter 35
Advertisement
Fenon's group glared at Kadyn hatefully, but he cared little. He knew he'd successfully intimidated them. Fenon won't do anything stupid unless he was sure to take Kadyn down. Until then he would have time to grow. With the system, it won't take him long to reach his former heights and he might—or could—cross that certain boundary this time.
The reputation of his shop would climb higher and higher. His bluffing would work as a shield for the time being while he grows. At some point this city might turn too small to hold his illuminance and glory—he curled his lips when such a thought crept inside his head. Daydreaming. He shook his head.
"Clap!" He clapped and said. "Alright, that's enough. Come tomorrow if you want to buy potions."
Everyone looked at each other for a brief amount of time and then departed one by one with reluctant gazes.
"Should I call an ambulance for you, sir?" Kadyn grinned when he found Fenon and Jenna were still standing with three fatties.
"Hmph!" Fenon snorted and tried to walk. "Ahhh!!" but pitiful Fenon fell and his entire body roared and trembled in agony. Jenna supported him with an embarrassed and awkward expression and left with her companions.
When all the outsiders and customers left, Kadyn sighed in relief. He eyed Hicka and said. "You go rest. Your wounds are still healing. Take this." He said and passed him a high-level Soothing Drop.
"I can't take this," Hicka shook his head. "It's too precious. Furthermore, I'm already grateful for your help. For an orphan like me, you made Fenon your enemy. Do you think I'm worth it?"
"Of course, you are," Kadyn chimed with a deep voice. "Your honest friendship is a hundred times more important than Fenon." He said and pushed the potion in Hicka's hand and turned away without speaking anything. Hicka looked at his back and clenched his fist. No one knew what he was thinking.

Kadyn turned towards his sister and said. "Let's go. We have work to do."
Elora's eyes lit up hearing his words and scurried towards the Potion Hall.
——
Sofas and chairs surrounded the bed in the room, curtains falling and waving with a gust of wind that who knew from where came. The red carpet adorned the floor, giving it a noble look, while beautiful paintings hung on the walls—a group of people sat on the chairs and sofas and Fenon laid on the bed with a pale face. His face laced with anger and heart drowned in hatred and fear.
"Have you destroyed the formation?" He asked Jenna.
"No," Jenna shook her head. "That Meditation Room is weird."
"Well?" Fenon looked at her for further explanation.
"I don't know but there was no formation inside. The mana was far greater than the outside but I could not find its source. It's weird. Furthermore, before me, many people entered to meditate but when I went inside I was alone." Jenna explained with a peculiar expression. She'd gone to meditate previously but at that time she was alone—or with Hicka—but at that time she cared little about anything and didn't pay much attention. Today she realised that the shop is weird.
"Does that mean the humiliation I went through was for nothing?!" Fenon trembled in rage, his eyes spitting fire—Jenna had gone to the shop to destroy the formation inside. To distract Kadyn, Fenon caused trouble. So that when Jenna would destroy the formation he won't realise anything amiss, immediately. However, everything went utterly wrong. He made a fool of himself.
When he thought that Kadyn used him like a test subject to prove the effectiveness of the potion, his heart burned in shame and fury and disgust. But he could not even walk with a straight body at the moment, much less fight someone. Sooner or later I will kill him no matter what! He gritted his teeth in hatred. Today's humiliation could only be washed with Kadyn's blood!

"That bomb…" Jenna said after some hesitation. "Is it really that terrible as everyone claimed?"
Fenon stiffened and his heart pumped faster and his body turned cold in fear. The thoughts of vengeance that had just sprouted, fading. [Throwing Bomb] had become his nightmare—a nightmare that won't leave him anytime soon.
"Don't worry, Boss," Big One was sitting on another chair at the side of the bed. "Your talent is even greater than those talents from Upper Town. If it wasn't for that bomb you could easily handle that bastard.
"Furthermore, the Association Leader has shown interest in accepting you as his apprentice. When that happens, it won't be hard to become one of the legendary [Spell Casters]. At that time you could pinch Kadyn to death whenever you want."
"Yes!" Fenon almost jumped in ecstasy, hearing these words. His eyes shone with a vicious radiance. "Two months. Two months later I would graduate. At that time the Association Leader would accept me as his apprentice. That would be Kadyn's end, hmph!"
Then he looked at Jenna and said. "Send someone to buy the potions. I want them."
Jenna nodded but then said. "Do… you think that… Kadyn might join a powerful family… or even Magic Association? After all, he is so young and already a potioneer. Everyone would like to gain such an asset."
Fenon left stunned at her question. But then said. "Didn't he say he would sell his potions to everyone? That means he has no intention to join anyone. After all, no one would let him do what he intended to do—such as selling potions to peasants"
"That may not be true," Jenna shook her head. "The heart of people is unpredictable. Who knows if he was speaking the truth? He might change his mind later and decide to join someone. Who can say that won't happen?"
"Then what should we do?" he asked. Though he was a petty and vicious character. His scheming skills were almost zero. Almost.
"Nothing," Jenna shook her head.
"What do you mean?" Fenon asked in bewilderment.
"We'll wait. After all in this situation you won't be able to do much, anyway," Jenna said. "If he joins any family or organisation you have to wait for the right time to take your revenge. But if he joins no one.... you know what I mean?"
Fenon looked at her cunning eyes and understood what she was trying to say. The possibility of trampling Kadyn under his feet excited him to no end.

Black Wind, White Lotus
In this world, there are haves and have nots. The former are pureblooded humans, some of whom are capable of manipulating qi, the mysterious energy that flows through every living creature, to miraculous results that defy the laws of nature and physics. Wen Feili was one such cultivator. However, she allied with the have nots- the anthropomorphic hybrids incapable of channeling qi-and dabbled in forbidden demonic arts, seeking to change the very composition of reality. This did not end well for her, and she was consumed by her own flames. A decade later, far in the northwestern mountains, her daughter Wen Fengli is working as a lowly servant of the minor Shuangshan sect. In between sweeping the floor and avoiding bullies, she secretly trains with a wooden sword, hoping to become a warrior cultivator at some point in the future. However, since she's part-human, part-wolf, it's just a pipe dream. ....or so she bitterly thought. However, one day a mysterious amulet that belonged to her mother falls into her hands. A deranged old master, a terrible conspiracy, a mysterious past? None of that matters to tomboyish wolfgirl, who only seeks to become stronger. She embarks on a journey of adventure and self-discovery, towards the mysterious southern lands where pure demi-humans are said to live...as spectre of war once again envelops the world of man. This is a Chinese-themed fantasy story set in a fictional world. You can classify it as xianxia, if you wish, but it's a rather low fantasy variant; the heavenly realm is silent, no one reached immortality in generations, and magical artifacts of old are locked away and feared. Magical beasts and spirits have been driven to the corners of civilisation, and "ordinary" abilities such as flying or controlling swords through telekinesis are considered spectacular feats. The main plot of this book revolves around a kemonomimi girl who seeks power, no matter the cost. This story also features multiple character pov, and will not always follow the perspective of the mc- there are two major plotlines, one connected to conspiracy and war ongoing in the political background of the presented world, and the other focusing on the main character's physical and metaphorical journey.
