"Young Master Ghost, is this your shop?" Amidst the busy bustling streets of Bradford, two pegasuses(or 'pegasi') landed on the street as two youngsters, one young girl and a man in his early thirties descended on the ground.
Obviously, the two youngsters were Michael and Ricky, the young girl was Gaya and the last was Daniel. The one who asked the question was Ricky. Apparently, Ricky's eyes opened wide in surprise, but his surprised face turned gloomy after seeing the empty interior of the shop.
"Ricky, Daniel" Instead of directly going into the store, Michael called his two henchmen to step closer to him.
"From here on, call me Master Ghost, drop the Young, it's really awkward, especially when you use it" He looked at Ricky when he said the last part.
Michael would have ordered them to call him 'Sir' but apparently in this world, calling someone Master was more respectful than calling him, Sir.
For the 'Young' part, he felt awkward when someone called him 'Young Master', especially someone who was just a year or two older than him like Ricky.
"Huh?" Ricky and Daniel tilted their heads and looked at him confused but a few moments later, they nodded as they had no plan to go against his orders considering the pay he promised.
"And I'd like to hear them call me Your Royal Highness" Gaya mumbled under her breath.
"You two put the pegasus on the side and clean this place"
Then he bought out some decorative objects from his System store to decorate his store with. These include things like wallpaper, fancy sofa and chairs in a modern style, some decorative ornaments meant for the glass window, and some colorful lights, which had never been seen by anyone in the Cultivation World before.
"You got another one?!'' When he put down the sofa, Gaya couldn't hide her shock but she quickly landed her butt into the fluffy sofa.
"Quit playing and come help me with this, you damn snake" he knocked on the head as she stood up massaging her head where he knocked.
"Ah! jerk"
Daniel and Ricky missed this little quarrel as the four of them began to clean and decorate the store.
With the help of the two hardworking henchmen and one lazy snake, he set about doing his job quickly. He dispersed all the beautiful, modern decorations around the store, illuminating the lights with Arch energy.
Little by little the people who were roaming on the streets noticed this and were surprised by what they had seen but because of the dark curtains covering the windows, they still couldn't see clearly what's going on inside.
They worked for almost two hours and though some of the onlookers left, soon, many other people arrived. After all, these objects were all very fancy and included things that they had never laid eyes on before. Even though the decorations were temporary, he did his best to make the shop look the best.
Finally, after all the decorations had been done, he bought a giant blank board and placed them on the ground.
"What do we name our shop?" Of course, he needed a badass name for the shop because he didn't plan to be done with one shop but create an empire of businesses.
"Aelia Alchemy! Aelia Alchemy!" Like the only kid who had done the homework, Gaya raised her arm and excitedly shouted. And just like the kids who never touched the homework, Ricky and Daniel gawked at each other awkwardly.
"You wish, humph"
"You have no taste!" she pouted but he ignored her and picked his mind for a better name.
"The Majestic"
"Ah...what?" Who would name a single shop The Majestic, Gaya thought, and even the two henchmen frowned.
"Yes, We name this shop The Majestic" he could imagine hundreds of branches all over this world with the name 'The Majestic'.Just by mere thought, he felt extremely excited.
A suitable name for an Alchemy empire!!!
"Are you seriously thinking to name this shop The Majestic?!" she air quoted the last two words and snickered.
"Just imagine" he stepped closer as he put his hand around her neck and surprisingly, she didn't resist.
"Hundreds of shops, all over the world, The Majestic. And when we build our main headquarters, we can call the place, The Majestic City, how cool is that?"
"Hmm, when you put it like that...it does sound not so bad" she said as she also put her hand around his neck. Both Daniel and Ricky scratched the back of their head looking at these two.
"Now, who's going to write the name on the board?" He asked looking at Gaya as he expected her to write the name considering his handwriting sucks. Usually, girls would have beautiful handwriting compared to the boys, therefore, he looked at her.
"Gimme the brush" Looking at his gaze, she rolled her eyes and grabbed the brush to write the name on the board.
After a few minutes, she finished writing the name and it looked gorgeous.it even shocked Michael because her handwriting looked computerized.
'That's how you do it' Pride in her work and arrogance oozed out of her face.
Without giving any snarky comments, Michael gestured at Ricky and Daniel to hang the sign outside. As soon as the people saw the sign and the store, they were greatly surprised.
Amongst all the buildings in Bradford City, it was really rare to see such a new, smart, and modern-looking store.
This store had a strange name, too—The Majestic.
...
"Hey, have you heard the news that Ghost beat up Jane's bodyguards, in front of her?"
"I have already heard this news, he has way too many balls if you ask me!"
"Yeah, no shi but I bet he would have realized by now who he had messed with and never return to Bradford"
"That's baloney! He just opened up a store. Its name is The Majestic."
"My God! Really? Can that guy open a store? Who would dare to visit his store?"
"Exactly! It's a pity that his store hasn't opened to the public yet. I wonder what its main commodity would be."
"I've heard that he is planning to sell meat."
"No, I've heard he is going to open a brothel and the girl with him is the merchandise"
....
Michael had no idea about the rumors and the tales spreading across Bradford about his shop.
The portions and the pills were not very complicated. As long as ingredients were available, everything could be made easily in a few minutes.
As the main pillar of the shop, Alchemist, what he could do was concoct the pills and brew the potions while Ricky and Daniel stand guard outside.
Gaya on the other hand, wrote down the effects of each pill and potion on the billboard so that the customers could place orders accordingly.
Now, everything was ready.
"Okay, let's set a small goal of earning three hundred thousand gold on an opening day!" He calmly said to the three in front of them.
Hearing his goal, Ricky and Daniel freaked out as they only knew that he's an Alchemist but they had no idea what star Alchemist he is.
Is he planning to earn three hundred gold on an opening day?
How… how could this be possible?
Regardless of whether or not the two were believing this, he was quite confident himself, so was Gaya.
"Alright, Aelia, put the menu outside, and let's make some money!!"
"MONEY!" Gaya shouted with vigorous spirit and paced towards the outside where a lot of curious onlookers had already gathered.
Many people were discussing the commodity of the store, for the renovation style was so novelty that none of them had ever seen anything like in the past.
Also, some people were looking forward to witnessing the Baron's wrath for beating his daughter's bodyguards.
Finally, he ordered Ricky to remove the curtains and let the people outside bask in the glory of his new shop. Being fully surprised, all onlookers stared at the store with curiosity.
Along with the lifting of dark curtains, a typical Manhattan boutique-style shop came into view of the onlookers. All onlookers were totally shocked and dumbfounded.
"Awesome! It's really beautiful!"
"Look at that! It really turns me on!"
"Wow look at those spotless windows and the interior!"
"Gee, look, it seems it's an Alchemy store!"
"Woah! A healing pill cost 13000 gold?!"
"Shit, he has Revitalizing pills for sale!"
"I can't afford this, this is day time robbery!"
'Why don't he go rob the king?!"
As these onlookers started to read the menu on the billboards, they trembled at the sight of the prices. Their eyes widened in great shock.
"My God! This must be one wicked store!"
