Chapter 138 - Troubles at the shop part 4 (1/2)

”Oh, it very much is. It is a pleasure to do business with your shop!”

Taking a look at the wares placed on the table, I take them all into my storage ring with one swipe on my hand. As the manager hands two remaining bags to me, they end up in the same place as well. The only thing that I attach directly to my belt is the money pouch. In the end, I still need to prove my earlier words!

”Oh, before I forget, can I count on your escort to the shoop doors? I'm worried that the annoying man that tried to stir the trouble might keep doing so if I were to leave only with my fiancee.”

While I wouldn't mind any additional chaos to pay Baxhar back for his previous actions, that would cause this shop clerks opinion on me to deteriorate. I'm not sure if Leila will be able to successfully receive the favours from them that I gained right now, so keeping their sympathy towards my party is far more important than slapping this bastard face!

”Of course sir! It would be my pleasure!”

Already approaching the doors by my first mention of leaving, the manager instantly opened the doors and hold them out for us. Taking my time to slowly walk outside the room, I couldn't help but back in curious stares of the crowd amassed in the shop.

”They are out! Comprehend them!”

As soon as I placed my foot on the proper shopping floor, I could see Baxhar hand pointing at me while several guards rushed towards me. Surprisingly enough, this esteemed guest that attempted to interfere with my affairs earlier, was nowhere to be seen!

”What the hell is the meaning of this!?”

Before the guards managed to get close enough to even touch me, the manager's shout instantly glued them to the ground. Looking at their uniform robes and equipment, it was obvious that they were actually the bouncers in this shop!

”Sir, we were told by the young master Baxhar that there was a thief in the shop daring to outright claim that he would steal our master's treasure! Even if this is an esteemed guest of yours, we need to at least check the situation!”

Oh? So they weren't this shop guardians, but direct servants of the shop's owner? That would explain the quality of the robes they are wearing!

”And who told you that he will steal from here? Are you calling me a liar now?”

Standing up to the guards, the manager blocked the guards from reaching either me or Eve with his own body.
