Aakesh was relaxing on his chair when he heard the sound of footsteps coming from outside the store. He opened his eyes and turned in that direction.

***

"Hello, store owner," Irving greeted Aakesh. His tone was respectful since he had come here after learning about it from someone else.

Aakesh nodded as usual and waited for the man to ask the vital question.

Irving didn\'t waste Aakesh\'s time and asked about the store\'s products.

"The store currently sells five products; pills, weapons, cultivation arts, beasts, and Panagea.

For the pills, there are only lesser and higher grades of pills available, with twenty different types of them. They are:

(1.) First-grade lesser Blood Cleansing Pill: This pill is used to cleanse the blood of impurities and improve circulation. It costs fifty lesser Sacred stones.

…

… these are the store\'s products," Aakesh concluded, introducing all five products in a single breath.

Irving stood there astonished in surprise. At the same time, he was excited since his coming here after splurging a large sum of money wasn\'t worthless.

"Store owner, I want to enter Panagea," Irving requested immediately after calming down.

Aakesh nodded and then introduced the different price structures for different time stays.

"I want the 1.5x time stay," Irving responded after a pause. Coming here had cost him a large amount, so he wanted to be conservative in his spending.

It didn\'t mean that he didn\'t trust Aakesh\'s product enough. The man who told him about the store was his father, so even if Irving didn\'t trust Aakesh, he still trusted his father.

It was just that not every great product brought advantages to the user. Sometimes, it became the bane of the user, so Irving decided to be conservative and only chose the second option.

"You need to pay 100 lesser Sacred stones," Aakesh stated since there were more than enough spots empty in the portal room for now.

Irving nodded and took out the required stones from his inner world. He then pushed the small mountain of lesser Sacred stones toward Aakesh.

Aakesh waved his hands, and the next moment, the stones disappeared from the store, appearing in the system\'s space.

Aakesh then heard the alert of the amount being correct in his head. He then informed Irving of the same, further telling him about the process to enter Panagea.

"Thank you, store owner!" Irving thanked Aakesh and immediately proceeded toward the portal room.

Not much time had passed after Irving left for the Panagea when there was a sudden movement in the store.

Aakesh opened his eyes and soon saw a ball of white light appearing in the store, and soon it took the shape of a living creature\'s silhouette.

The white light disappeared as quickly as it had arrived, and a customer stood in its place.

"Hello, store owner!" Ayriel approached and greeted Aakesh.

Ayriel was the Moon Elf princess and a regular at the store, but for the past month, her arrivals had been random, and whenever she came, there would be an aura of gloom around her.

Whenever Aakesh saw her, he became more interested in what was going on with her, as the aura of gloom grew with every new arrival. Aakesh wouldn\'t have cared much about it if it were another customer, but here, the owner of Limitless Physique was on the other side.

Aakesh didn\'t want the rise of another Vritrasura in the Multiverse since it would most likely affect his store due to Ayriel being a customer.

The card informed Ayriel of the empty portal, so Ayriel was going to proceed toward the portal room when she saw Aakesh taking the initiation in the conversation, stopping her from moving.

"Where did she go?" A cold voice rang out in the space as Ayriel suddenly disappeared.

The voice owner\'s eyes suddenly fell on Ladriel. Her eyes were cold as she gestured for Ladriel to come forward.

Ladriel\'s legs were trembling, but she didn\'t dare refuse the person on the other side, as she was none other than Ayana, the ruler of the Moon Elves, and Ayriel\'s mother.

"Master majesty!" Ladriel immediately kneeled after stopping two meters away from Ayana.

Ayana\'s eyes were cold as she looked at Ladriel. At that moment, Ladriel felt a mountain of pressure acting on her.

Her entire body was wet with sweat, making her look steamy, but her face said differently. Her veins had popped out, and they were on the verge of exploding.

Ladriel gritted her teeth and kept persisting with the pressure.

"You are good," Ayana suddenly spoke, and the pressure acting on Ladriel disappeared as if it were never there.

Ladriel breathed a relieved sigh, as she had almost felt the embrace of death when her heart suddenly grew cold at what Ayana said next.

"From this moment on, you will serve me as one of my attendants!"

Ayana\'s voice was like the statement of the heavens, as she didn\'t wait for Ladriel\'s reaction, and she then disappeared from the area.

Ladriel just kept kneeling, and teardrops began to form around her eyes. An adult crying was always a weird scene, but Ladriel didn\'t care as she was concerned about Ayriel.

After Ayriel got the Chaotic Wyrm, Ladriel believed it to be a good step in Ayriel\'s revenge and a fortunate event. But everything changed in the past month. Ayana suddenly showed intentions of ascending to the Primordial Dimension.

Ayana\'s intention to ascend meant one thing for all her daughters. It was now time to fight for the next ruler\'s position. Ayina and Ayah were leading that race, so they first wanted to remove all other competitions before they fought against each other for that position.

Killing siblings was prohibited, so neither Ayina nor Ayah could use the strong support behind them to remove Ayriel from their way. But they could use that support to pressure Ayriel to back away.

Since the month began, Ayriel\'s fortune had been turning worse as one by one her supporters began to leave her and join others.

If anyone were to ask who would be the next ruler, the Moon Elves would be confused between Ayina and Ayah. Whatever support Ayriel had was slowly dwindling.

Today was another disappointing day for Ayriel and her camp in the last month.
