It is almost noon. In the Lin Mansion's training ground, Lin Xue and Allen are sparring like usual.
Compared to a few days ago, the heiress of the Lin Clan is doing extremely well as she progressed in raising the number of ether particles and entered the 4-circle realm. It was indeed a feat to achieve such a thing without taking help from external assistance. Yao Ling felt that had she absorbed the energy from spirit/ether crystals, she would have long entered the 5-circle realm by now.
While she has yet to land a strike on Allen, she was no longer the same person she was, two weeks ago, who got toyed by the Android. Several times, she managed to push back Allen. And with the help of the lightning attribute, her speed also considerably increased to match Allen's speed.
But, Mark was indifferent to her progress as his attention lies elsewhere. He was currently absorbing the luck of a maid with more than seven points of luck.
"Rank-4? It will take a while, so, I need to store it."
The last notification calmed down Mark but he never felt safer and invincible even if it only lasts five minutes.

Lin Xue abided by the rules of the contract very well. As soon as the time is over, she let Allen and Mark return to the store. The spies in the neighborhood became alert as they saw the appearance of the two.
Within the past two weeks, all the six noble clans have installed spies nearby to keep their eyes on the movements of Allen and Mark.
But, to date, they have yet to find how Mark receives the shipments. In the end, they concluded with a theory of Mark receiving the weapons through someone possibly in disguise as a customer.
Now, they just need to note down the frequent customers' list to investigate. They were busy on that.
Meanwhile, the store attracted the attention of someone from the palace. More than the weapons, the attention was on Allen. Unfortunately, the intentions weren't good in this case.
This person is none other than the third prince, Shang Wei who was getting uncomfortable every day as he kept hearing of Lin Xue's spar with Allen. It would be a lie if he wasn't jealous of Allen's appearance.
So, on one fine day, he finally decided to enter the streets of commoner districts but without any grand manner.
Like Lin Xue, he sat in a simple horse carriage and even wore an outfit made of linen to disguise his stature. But, his security is also necessary.
Not intending to attract the attention of Royal Knights, he employed a 5-circle-realm fighter from Swordmasters guild to be escorted for one day before leaving for the Hanga District.
It was evening and the streets were bustling with people, especially around the clothing stores and food stalls.
Shang Wei and his bodyguard stepped down from the carriage and walked towards the entrance.
Mark was busy demonstrating the weapons to a customer while Allen is on standby.
"This guy…" The third prince felt threatened as soon as he saw Allen from the entrance.
It was at that moment, the bodyguard he employed suddenly let out a roar. "It's you, bastard."
"Huh?" The third prince almost jumped back in reflex and the customer shivered in fear because of the roar. Everyone turned towards the source.
Mark felt he was familiar but he couldn't put his finger on it. He spoke, "Customer, no disturbance within the store."

The buffed fellow with a huge scar on his right cheek couldn't control his rage, "It's been three weeks but I still didn't forget your face, you scum. You dared to put a curse on me and unleashed bad luck. I won't leave you alive."
It was then Mark finally remembered his Ring of Luck's first victim. He calmly responded, "oh, it's you. The one swindled by Everlasting store."
He's the same Mo Jiang whose luck points were absorbed and later got chased by a Werewolf. After returning to the imperial city, he went to the Church and confirmed with the priest that someone indeed cursed him, unleashing a stroke of temporary bad luck on his fate. Since then, Mo Jiang swore to take his revenge.
He has no idea about who the young man beside him is nor does he have any idea about Mark's adventure into Song Mansion.
Filled with rage, Mo Jiang took out a heavy sword from its sheath and rushed into the store.
"Eek." The customer was terrified and moved back.
However, Allen interrupted him in the middle, not letting Adventurer Mo go forward more than a meter. He caught the sword with bare hands.
A look of surprise appeared on Mo Jiang. "What the hell is going on? Why do I feel my entire strength suppressed by an invisible force?"
Before he gets back to his senses, Mark calmly gave an order, "Kick him out, Allen. And for breaking the rules, confiscate all of his equipment as punishment."
In the next minute, an unconscious Mo Jiang was seen lying in the middle of the street with cotton sleeves and pants.
With Armor, a pair of bracers, a pair of greeves, a rusty ring, and a storage ring, Allen returned to the store, passing a stunned Shang Wei, on the way who was wondering, "what is this daylight robbery?"
After returning the confiscated items to his master, he turned around and walked towards the third prince.
Shang Wei unconsciously took a step back in fear when he saw an expressionless look on Allen, worrying that it is his turn next.
Before he revealed his identity and give a threat, the latter reached the entrance and bowed, "Welcome to Genesis. Please get inside."
"Um, no thanks." The third prince hurriedly waved his hand, "I think I'm at the wrong place. Excuse me."
Turning around, he walked away at a quick pace and got into the carriage before hurrying the coachman to leave. He didn't even bother to take a look at Mo Jiang and fled away from the place.

Allen tilted his head in confusion. "Wrong place?"
