Chapter 427 Fine, Isll Eat It! (2/2)
”Young Master Gao.” Huang Ya respectfully stepped forward with three of his Lord-tier familiars behind him.
”Good work. You must be exhausted.”
”Not at all, sir.”
The next day, the newly furnished Southern Sky Group retail store in Tomsk was officially open for business.
This was Gao Peng's first foray into the Arctic market. If he was able to obtain a good response from the locals, he would proceed to expand his business across the entire Arctic region. He would then use the Arctic region as a springboard to propel his business across the Asia-Pacific and European regions.
This newly opened store attracted curious gazes from the Arctic locals in the street. Most of them had heard that it was run by a Huaxia local and were drawn to things that they didn't understand, like moths to a flame. The Arctic locals weren't an exception to this rule.
”What kind of store is it?”
”I heard that it's a familiar store.”
”Ooh, sounds fascinating. Are the familiars from the Huaxia region just as pretentious as their trainers?”
”I hear they have King-tier familiars from the Huaxia region.”
”True, King-tier familiars are indeed awesome, but there's just no way the shop owner has one. If he really does have a King-tier familiar, I'll clean my familiar's droppings with my own tongue!”
”Hahaha!” A group of Arctic locals burst out laughing.
Huang Ya came out of the store with the Horrifying Violent Female Spider behind him. The spider had been uncomfortably curled up within the confines of the store all this time. Now that it was out in the open, it seemed much more relaxed than before.
It stretched its huge body and flexed the cold, cruel instruments of murder that were its appendages. Everyone stiffened at the sight of the Horrifying Violent Female Spider. A hush had fallen over the place. Every onlooker in the street was now staring dumbly at the spider.
The animals in the Arctic region were naturally huge. Still, an animal as big as the Horrifying Violent Spider was a rare sight, even in the Arctic region.
A cold white Lord-tier aura spread out from it. Those caught within its range, be they familiar or human, instantly felt an overwhelming feeling weighing down on them. Only familiars and trainers who were Lord-tier or above were immune to another Lord-tier familiar's aura. On the other hand, those beneath Lord-tier weren't so lucky. They would immediately be affected by it.
Monsters who were too weak to resist a Lord-tier aura would be completely immobilized.
While Gao Peng made pushing around a couple of Lord-tier monsters look easy, when in truth, Lord-tier monsters and familiars only made up a small percentage of the day's world population.
A trainer who possessed a Lord-tier familiar still stood on top of the food chain in any base city. However, a further hierarchy had gradually taken shape among the Lord-tier familiars as their numbers increased.
There were now strong and weak Lord-tier familiars, and naturally, the weaker ones were preyed upon by the strong. Still, even the weakest Lord-tier familiar would seem incredibly powerful to these people.
”There's a Lord-tier trainer working in there... I take back everything I said. This store might be worth checking out after all.”
”People of the Arctic region, this is the Southern Sky Group's first retail store in the Arctic region. Since today's our first day of business, we'll be offering a five-percent discount on all purchases until nine o' clock!” shouted Huang Ya.
”I'm sure most of you here aren't familiar with the Southern Sky Group, so allow me the honor today to give you all a proper introduction of our organization.” Huang Ya's chest puffed up proudly at the mention of the Southern Sky Group. ”We're the only organization in the Huaxia region to own two King-tier familiars!”
The man who had been ribbing the Southern Sky Group's retail store flushed furiously. Waving a fist at everyone around him, he spat out, ”Fine, I'll eat my familiar's droppings, you sick b*stards!”
