Magic Shop System

"Wh-wh-what are you saying?" Jenna tumbled back in shock and started to stutter at Kadyn's accusation, but then she suppressed her anxiety and unease and shot back at him. "You are speaking nonsense!"

"Am I?" Kadyn sneered as he strolled towards her.

"D-don't come near me!"

He paid no heed to her and arrived in front of Jenna.

"Brother, I think, it's just a misunderstanding." Elora couldn't look at the scene and interrupted.

"Yes, yes, this is all a big misunderstanding."

"Really?" Kadyn said with a hesitant look.

"Of course. Elora is my friend. Why would I do anything to harm her?" she sighed in relief when noticed Kadyn contemplating.

She thought Kadyn would let the matter slide as he had no proof, but a cold smile appeared on his face and he clutched her neck emotionlessly. "Ahh!"

Jenna gasped in shock and gurgled as she tried to speak. However nothing could be understood—Elora couldn't believe her eyes. She never thought Kadyn would do such a thing.

"Have you remembered any deal with Fenon yet?" Kadyn asked, eyeing Jenna.

The girl shivered at Kadyn's icy gaze. "I-I don't know what are you talking about?"

"You are a hard nut to crack, heh?" Kadyn chuckled and slammed her on the counter.

"Brother!" Elora could not take this anymore, and grabbed his arm, looking at him pitifully. "I don't think Jenna has anything to do with Fenon."

Kadyn, however, wasn't going to let things slide just like this. He turned at the groaning Jenna and said to Elora. "You are too naïve. Today let me open your eyes."

He peered at Jenna and leaned near to her ear, whispering. "If you don't speak the truth in two breaths, I will tear your clothes off your body. Then let you stroll the street naked."

Jenna trembled at his words. Tears rolled off her smooth cheeks, falling down like precious pearls. She looked pitiful.

"Speak!" Kadyn, however, showed no sympathy.

"I don't know what…"

"Rip!"

"Ahhh!!"

Before she could finish her sentence, Kadyn tore a cloth off her arm, revealing a glistening skin underneath. Jenna looked at him in terror while Elora covered her face in utter speechlessness.

"Speak!" his voice thundered in her head like a roar of a lion.

Jenna eyed him with her teary eyes and lost all the courage at his ruthless look. She bit her lip so hard that blood dripped from her lips and then stuttered. "I-it was Fenon who asked me to be-befriend Elora, s-so I could tell him everything about her."

Hearing her words, he pushed her away like a dump in the basket and turned towards Elora, whose face had turned pale at her friend's words. "What do you think about your FRIEND now?" he deepened his voice at the friend.

"I-I…" Elora mumbled, but couldn't find any word. Sorrow flickered in her eyes. The friend she treated like a sister was actually just a chess piece planted by Fenon.

Kadyn patted her head gently and said. "You need to understand that this world isn't a beautiful place, as some people described it. It is a cruel world, filled with greedy, selfish, and vicious people. You need to be wary of those people, otherwise regret will be your sole friend."

Kadyn slowly started to mutter nonsense. However, he was unaware of the impact of his nonsense on Elora. How it would change her in the future. Today's event was a terrible blow to her innocent heart.

"Get lost. Don't come near my sister. Or next time you won't just lose a single piece of your dress!." Kadyn uttered coldly. However, from the corner of his eyes he was peeking at her smooth glistening skin.

What a waste… such a hotty, but her heart is darker than black.

When Kadyn arrived, he had activated [Emotion Detection]. From Fenon he found lust for his sister and disdain for himself. However this didn't surprise him. What surprised him the most was Jenna's emotions. He sensed jealousy for his sister, and disdain for himself while love and lust for Fenon.

She was definitely a snake in the sleeve, and Kadyn could not let her stay with his sister a second more. That's why he did all this drama and made her confess in front of Elora—or Elora would never believe him, even though he was her brother.

Jenna covered her arm with another hand and dashed out of the shop.

Hicka had just entered when he saw her sprinting out of the shop. "Hi, Jenna."

However the girl gave no reply and continued to gallop away until she vanished from the eyes of confused bystanders. Hicka shook his head embarrassedly and scurried into the shop, followed by three more people.

"Go, wash your face. You don't look good while crying." Kadyn wiped tears from her cheek before sending her away.

"Boss, today I brought my three classmates." Hicka beamed. "They wanted to know how I awakened my stars this fast. So I told them about the shop."

"You did a good job." He nodded pleasantly.

Hearing Kadyn's praise, Hicka held his head high and puffed his chest out and looked at his companions proudly.

Kadyn rolled his eyes at this shameless guy and asked. "How much time you want to meditate?"

"Six hours!" Hicka replied. Surprisingly, his companions also chose to meditate for six hours. They looked wealthy as they paid without much deliberation.

This Hicka guy isn't bad. He praised him.

[Energy Points: 33+48→81]

A smile formed at the corner of his lips when he saw the Energy Points increasing abruptly.

"I also want to meditate." Elora walked out from the washroom and asked.

"Alright, how much time do you want to spend on meditating?" Kadyn veered around and smiled at her.

"Four hours!" she said excitedly.

Without thinking, he let her do as she had intended. He knew she was hiding the sorrow behind her sweet smile. When Elora strolled towards the meditation room, two more customers arrived.

The duo hesitated before paying the money to Kadyn, but in the end they gritted their teeth and passed eight hundred dollars to him.

[Energy Points: 81-8+8→81]

"Let's check this thing out." After sending the customers, he looked at the spinning wheel in front of him and murmured.

Every spin needed 10 energy points, and that was the reason he held himself this long. Now he earned a few energy points, so he wanted to try his luck.

"Spin!" he uttered, and the wheel started to roll.

[Energy Points: 81-10→71]

No item was visible inside the wheel. So Kadyn had no idea what would appear.

He ogled eagerly at the spin and waited for it to stop, and when it stopped, a message appeared on the screen. "Better luck next time."
