Chapter 246: Waiting

Following the system's response, dark clouds began disappearing, and contents began appearing on the empty golden screen while it stopped growing brighter.

Time flew second by second.

When the entire content appeared on the screen, the sky regained its blue color.

After the sky cleared, Aakesh got the feeling that his soul had gotten freed from something he never knew. He then attempted to leave Panagea. As he had thought, no block down occurred, and the next moment he disappeared from Panagea and appeared in the portal room.

As for the golden screen in Panagea, he didn't worry about it since it would be there when he returned.

Aakesh left for his room right away since he had already gotten late. A few minutes later, he stepped down the stairs after taking a bath to freshen himself.

He then went to the door, grabbed the handle, and slid it. The next moment, he noticed a crowd larger than the last few days was waiting outside the door.

Maria, like usual, was the first customer to arrive at the door of the store since she lived right next to it. There was a hint of solemnness and excitement on her face as she waited for the store to open.

She was only a step away from completing her quest, and if nothing untoward happened, she would achieve her objective today, and with that, she would have an organization on her own name in the Primal dimension.

Despite being only a peak Nascent Soul level cultivator, she would be the head of an organization that would have Immortals and other powerful beings in their midst, and they would only be her subordinates. Thinking about this, she couldn't help but feel grateful to Aakesh and the store.

Before entering the store, she was just some refugee who had no family to call her own; wanted revenge, but couldn't do anything; wanted to cultivate, but dantian was injured. But only when a few weeks had passed since she had found the store, she was now a peak Nascent Soul; her enemy was already dead; she was also one of the only three territory owners in Panagea, and now she was going to have her own organization. It was nothing less than the dream or a happy illusion.

If not for the coronation ceremony yesterday, she maybe would've already become the founder of an organization. Since she had won the territory in Panagea and was only one of the three, she also belonged to the Bisan Kingdom, so Brinda had personally invited her for the ceremony as a special guest.

If Brinda wanted, she could've refused the invitation and completed her quest in Panagea, but she didn't decline it because of her father. Her father was head of the guards of one of the cities of the Kingdom. Even though he didn't come directly under the king, he still was a subject of the king, and he was loyal to the crown.

Even though she couldn't bring back her father from the dead for now, she thought it would make him proud if he were to be alive, so she went to the ceremony.

Time flew by.

The sun rose, and the market became active, while the number of people outside the store had already crossed a hundred. The neighbor store owners couldn't help but feel envy, seeing such a large crowd patiently waiting for the store to open. But when they remembered the event and the stories around the store, they moved their eyes away and got busy in their own stores.

Seeing such a large crowd waiting for the store, Maria was not concerned since she was at the front and was sure to get an entry into the Panagea in the first group. Since the sun had risen, the look of excitement on her face grew. Any time, the store would open, and then she would complete her quest and start her own organization.

Time flew by, and the store usual opening time passed, but the store still didn't open. Every second the customers waited felt like an eternity to them. It was no less than cruel torture for the customers to wait.

Xayaati with her family also arrived early after talking to the store owner yesterday. Her husband, Xator, had gained a lot of benefits during the training yesterday.

He still couldn't give her a tough fight, but the calm mind, and countless deaths inside the Gods & Demons level training area, helped his personality. He was still laidback like usual, but his eyes had turned sharper, unlike the lazy eyes previously.

Xayaati didn't feel anything wrong, seeing Aakesh not opening the door. She didn't believe him in the first place when he had told her about the schedule of the store. For her, Aakesh had an unimaginable strength and was an old monster. Only the leader of her clan was equivalent to Aakesh in her mind.

She and her family patiently waited. The same couldn't be said for others since there were only a limited number of virtual portals, and the late the store owner got, the competition for the slot would grow.

Finally, after waiting for eternity, the door of the store opened. Since there was a barrier outside the store stopping anyone from seeing inside, they only saw the store owner expressionlessly staring at them.

The store owner stepped aside, and as if the dam had broken, the customers poured into the store.

After entering, some of the customers who had failed to become the first fifty to enter the store had disappointed faces when they suddenly noticed that the golden light was engulfing them.

With shocked faces, they looked around, only to see the number of people that had golden light surrounding them had grown at least twofold.

Even though the number of virtual portals had grown to 150 from 50, Aakesh could still see several of the customers who didn't get a slot in the first group.

The group of Xayaati and her family has arrived in the store at the opening time for the first time, and no golden light had covered them, so they had no idea what was happening.

They looked at Aakesh to know the reason, only to notice that Aakesh was reclining on his chair.
