"Who is it?" Aakesh asked, ignoring the change of expression on Favan's face.
Favan didn't answer immediately, but he took a deep breath first. His mind had accepted the consequences that might come with this snitch, but the fear of death wasn't going to disappear this quickly.
But since Favan had made up his mind, he wasn't going to stop midway. After looking at the store owner's eyes, Favan also sensed that there was no return from this point. He had already done it, so he decided to go to the end.
"Store owner, the man plotting against you is one of the bigshots of the seventeenth street, Garoun."
"Garoun is a peak Divine Transformation. His father is an intermediate Divine Lord and a bigshot in the administration of Thorr city," Favan revealed the names and cultivation of the boss.
"Where does he live?" Aakesh asked, ignoring the cultivation levels told by Favan.
Favan's heart skipped a beat after seeing the cold eyes, but he kept his heart calm and disclosed the boss's address.
"You can leave," Aakesh nodded and said.
But before Favan left, Aakesh rewarded Favan with one purer form of lesser Sacred stone.
Favan couldn't help but take a deep breath of cold air when he sensed the energy in the stone. From seeing, Favan was confident that its value was no less than a hundred lesser Sacred stones.
"Thank you, store owner," Favan thanked Aakesh and hurriedly left the store.
After exiting the store, his direction wasn't his residence but the boss's address. Favan wanted to see the consequences of the boss's actions with his own eyes.
***
Inside the store, Aakesh was currently looking at the quest screen floating in front of him,
[Mission Objective: Punish the enemies,
Details: Store owner, some cultivators are plotting against the store. As the store owner, it's your duty to solve any troubles that may harm the store. Punish the man who dared to plot against the store and show the people that this store isn't something they can mess against,
Requirement: Kill the boss behind the scenes, and cripple/kill the underlings,
Rewards: Ten purer lesser Sacred stones,
Failure punishment: Failure of Panagea's customer quest.]
Aakesh read the details on the blue screen and couldn't help but frown.
The quest didn't matter since he would solve the trouble plaguing the store even without it. The mission reward only came as a bonus.
Ten purer lesser Sacred stones were equal to five thousand lesser Sacred stones. It was rarely the wealth of a peak Divine Transformation.
But when Aakesh looked at the failure punishment, he frowned since it was too strict. Failing Panagea's quest would not only result in his commission getting half, but the time for the other three products to open for the store would also go far.
Aakesh then waved his hands since it was time for action. The next moment, light particles began to move away from the screen, and in no time, they faded into nothingness.
Aakesh then stood up from his chair. Since he already had the address of his destination, he immediately left the store. Before leaving, he closed the store's gate from outside.
The nearby stores couldn't help but look at Aakesh in surprise when they saw him closing the store mid-day.
Many had looks of pity on their faces since they had also heard the threat of not entering the store.
Many store owners had gloating eyes as they looked at Aakesh. The feeling of not having a successful business was uncomfortable, but the feeling of watching others failing gave thrills to many.
Ignoring the different looks directed at him, Aakesh followed the map he had looked at on his first day.
Aakesh only needed to look once to remember, so when he went to the administrative office, he memorized the seventeenth street map.
Aakesh couldn't teleport due to his low cultivation level, so he had no choice but to walk to his destination.
Around a few minutes later, Aakesh reached his destination. Since Aakesh looked quite different than Vurrons, he was already sighted by the goon members. They were initially surprised, but when one of them found Favan near their headquarters, they got the gist of things.
The other goons got ready to beat the non-Vurron and Favan while the group leader entered the building to share this information with his boss.

"Hmm, that store owner has guts," A man comfortably seated on a luxury chair commented.<sub> </sub>
They would have recognized the man if Aakesh and Lily had been there. The man was none other than the person who had shouted slurs at them when they were traveling on the street.

Garoun wanted to mock Aakesh for not being a fellow Demon, and things would have ended at that. But the look given by the non-demon's pet irked the man.
Garoun had lived his entire life in luxury due to his strong father. Even though he wasn't talented, since he was his father's only child, he lived his life like a King, while his father supported all his actions and burdened their consequences.
How could an arrogant man like Garoun take that look of disgust from a non-demon's pet?
Garoun wanted to personally take action against the duo of non-demon and pet since both of them were only early Divine Transformation level cultivators. But after learning about the price of the property Aakesh had bought, he gave up on it since even his father would think twice before splurging that amount of money.
Since he couldn't take direct action, Garoun decided to punish the duo by not letting the non-demon store have any customers.
Back to the present scene, Garoun had a cruel grin spread across his face since the non-demon came to his base on his own.
'Even though I can't kill him, I can surely punish him,' Garoun thought in his heart. He still didn't dare to take drastic actions against the store owner due to his mysterious background, but now that he had come to his doors, Garoun had got the unwritten permission to beat the man.
The leader couldn't help but feel a chill crawling through his back after seeing the grin on his boss's face. He had seen with his own eyes just how cruel this man was. Now that there was prey, the leader could only pray in his heart that the man would be enough to satisfy the boss's cruel heart.
"What do we do about the snitch, Boss?" The leader suddenly asked.
Garoun fell silent after hearing his underling question.
"I want to reward him for bringing the non-demon to our door, but at the same time, that man got enough guts to snitch on me."
"Since I am happy with him, let's reward him by killing him by only cutting his hands and legs."
After a moment of silence, Garoun spoke as a blooming smile emerged on his lips.
'How can I be so kind-hearted with a snitch?' Garoun complained in his heart after announcing the fate of the snitch.
On the other hand, the leader couldn't help but smile wryly after hearing his boss.
If the reward was death by cutting off the snitch's hands and legs, he didn't even dare to imagine the punishment.
"Leave and tell the man to bring the non-demon to me."
"As for the snitch, let him feel a sliver of hope. After dealing with the non-demon, deal with him."
"Since I am feeling kind, add his nails to the punishment," Garoun ordered his underlings.
The leader nodded and hurriedly left, as he didn't want to face the wrath of this cruel demon god.
Garoun's eyes became excited as he began to wait for the bruised non-demon to come and plead for mercy.
***
Unaware of the scenes going on inside the building, Aakesh expressionlessly continued.
Aakesh had noticed the spying on him as soon as he arrived here, so he was already aware that they knew about him.
Aakesh also noticed the person who looked to be the strongest in the bunch first entering the building and then coming out. The man then whispered something in the ears of one of the men spying on Aakesh.
Aakesh didn't care what the man had planned since plans were nothing when faced with overwhelming power.
Aakesh's strength had already reached the average Divine Being's power, so these ordinary Divine Transformation cultivators were nothing but bugs waiting to get crushed due to biting more than they could chew.
The quest wanted Aakesh to kill the boss while crippling or killing the underlings. It was his choice what he wanted to do.
Unfortunately for the Garoun's underlings, Aakesh was no saint. Going against him only had one outcome, death.
