Chapter 66: The Royal Store

  Inside Yu Yi City, the capital of the Kingdom of Yu Yi.

  These days, Yongyi City seems particularly lively. The city is decorated with lanterns and streamers, and various businesses have launched discount activities. At the same time, there are many rare faces in the city that have never been seen before.

  Unlike the others, the Second Prince's residence was quiet and deserted. Chen Le and Fein sat together, holding their breath as they gazed at the row of test tubes on the table. This was Chen Le's highly purified ethanol!

  The silence was soon broken by Fein: "Master Arthur, are we really going to send them out?"

  Chen Le nodded: "En, really have to send them away."

  Fayn stared at Chen Le intently: "Can't you really leave one behind?"

  Chen Le rolled his eyes and said, "Yes, really can't leave one behind."

  Feyn's face contorted in agony, he was a man who lived for liquor, and his favorite was hard liquor. The row of test tubes in front of him seemed like a magnet, Feyn's hands kept twitching, the feeling of wanting to grab but not being able to was the most painful.

  Chen Le patted Fein on the shoulder and said: "Prince Fein, at worst I'll arrange a marriage for you in the future..."

  Fayn suddenly jumped up and hugged Chen Le saying: "Master Arthur said so!"

  Chen Le suddenly had a feeling of being deceived.

  Suddenly, a noise came from above their roof. Fain shouted: "Someone's coming! There is someone on the roof!"

  The guards at the gate were indeed sixth-level warriors and with a whoosh they jumped onto the rooftop.

  "Second Prince! That's the Golden Prince!" The guard shouted from the rooftop.

  Fei's face suddenly turned black. Damn it, this drunkard still wouldn't let go, stealing wine to such an extent that he himself felt helpless.

  "Ahah, Fein, sorry about that, I've been found out again, I'll be off~~~"

  As soon as he finished speaking, a hurried footsteps were heard and Jin escaped once again. Fein helplessly said to the guards on the rooftop: "You can come down... Remember, leave one person standing at high place next time, I suspect this guy will definitely come back!"

  "Yes!"

  Chen Le felt that staying here was not a solution, and he said to Fein: "Prince Fein, I think I have to do something."

  Feyn stared blankly at Chen Le for a moment before saying: "Master Arthur, what can we do now? I've been grounded!"

  Chen Le smiled and said: "Prince Fein, you're under house arrest!"

  Fei Yen was taken aback at first, then suddenly reacted.

  Chen Le smiled and said: "Prince Fein, are there any useless shops in this city?"

  "Come here, bring me my map!" Fein roared.

  Before long, a map was brought over.

  That is the layout of Yongyi City.

  "Look, there's a shop around the palace," Fein said, pointing to it. "That's my private store. If Master Arthur needs it, I'll give you a note later and you can just go pick it up."

  Chen Le slightly bowed and said: "Thank you, Prince Fein."

  Fayne shook his head and said, "Don't mention it, Master Arthur. You gave me the Seven Star Pill for free, so I already feel indebted to you. This shop is nothing in comparison. When I have the chance in the future, I'll repay your kindness."

  Chen Le smiled and left the room, Fein also smiled and walked into his own room.

  －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

  At the entrance of the imperial palace, Chen Le quickly found this store. To say nothing of it, this store is indeed run by the royal family, and its exterior, a huge sword, reveals the identity of the owner. It's said that stores operated by the royal family are places where even the city guards don't dare to approach.

  The second prince's store was a bit deserted, at least compared to the two stores on his left. Chen Le took a rough look and saw that the first two stores were operated by the royal family, with the farthest one belonging to the king, the second one belonging to the eldest prince, and the fourth one should be the third prince's, but the third prince's store was not open for business.

  Chen Le quietly pushed open the door of this store. The counter in the store only had some jewelry.

  "Welcome, sir. This is the private shop of the Second Prince. What can I help you with?"

  A female voice came forward, Chen Le raised his head and glanced at her lightly, it was a shop assistant with light makeup.

  Chen Le took out the certificate from his bosom and said: "Trouble you to find the person in charge, I am sent by the Second Prince."

  The shop assistant walked directly up to the second floor after hearing this.

  Chen Le casually found a stool and sat down quietly waiting for someone in charge.

  Knock knock knock, footsteps echoed in the corridor. A middle-aged man dressed in luxurious attire cupped his hands and asked: "May I ask, sir, what urgent matter does the Second Prince have to convey?"

  Chen Le handed the certificate in his hand to the person in charge, and the person in charge took it with both hands and began to examine it carefully.

  "Sir, this matter is of great importance. Could you please wait for a moment? I need to ask the Second Prince in person." The steward said respectfully as he handed back the proof.

  Chen Le knew this was a responsible gesture, so he nodded and let the person in charge leave.

  The shopkeeper bowed respectfully and then hastily left the store. Chen Le smiled at the clerk and said, "What's your name?"

  The shop assistant, with a slight tremble in her voice, said: "I... I'm called Lakuna."

  Chen Le smiled slightly and said: "Don't be nervous, I won't hit you, nor will I eat you."

  Lakuna took a deep breath.

  Chen Le smiled and said: "That's right, Lakuna, I'll ask you a question."

  Lakuna said respectfully: "Sir, what can I help you with?"

  Chen Le pointed at the things on the counter and said: "Are these all from the Second Prince's side?"

  Lakuna thought for a moment and then said: "Well, that's indeed from the Second Prince's side."

  Chen Le said with confusion: "Why is business so bad here?"

  Lakuna was a bit dejected and said helplessly, "Originally, the business of these few shops was the same except for the one operated by His Majesty the King. However, everyone in the country knew about the struggle between the Crown Prince and the Second Prince. The Second Prince was already at a disadvantage to begin with, and after last night's absurd disturbance, it was impossible for him to compete with the Crown Prince again. That's why nobody comes to our shop to buy things now."

  Chen Le nodded slightly, as if he understood something.

  Chen Le asked again: "Right, what can be sold here?"

  Lakuna had read the contents of the proof and knew that this person might be the one to take over the store in the future, so she had expected him to ask this question. She recited the answer she had prepared beforehand: "Except for military equipment, everything else is available!"

  Chen Le said doubtfully: "Even salt is okay?"

  Lakuna nodded and said: "Salt is indeed possible! This was originally a royal industry, the second prince was originally a member of the royal family, why can't his store sell salt?"

  Chen Le felt that this store might be more profitable than he had imagined.

  Chen Le's purpose for wanting a family store was simple: to sell the bodies of the magical beasts from the Absolute Forest. The corpses had already piled up into small mountains, and they had removed the valuable parts, but now they just needed someone to buy them. Since the Second Prince's store was so powerful, Chen Le should be able to sell these things well and use the extra money to support that unknown territory.

  Whenever I think of the territory, Chen Le has an urge to fly over and see how Liao is managing it now. Chen Le had a premonition that Liao and his team would give him a big surprise, but this surprise won't be revealed until much later.

  Time flies quickly, before long, the boss ran into the store.

  "He panted heavily and said, 'Lord Arthur, do you plan on making any changes to the layout of this store? I've already confirmed your ownership with the Second Prince.'"

  Chen Le smiled and said: "In the future, the things sold in this store will be completely different from now, so I will make some bigger changes."

  The butler said respectfully: "Master Arthur, the Second Prince has instructed that if you want to make any changes, just go ahead and change them, he will bear the cost!"

  Chen Le smiled and said: "Okay, first take me to visit this store, after visiting I will consider how to change it."

  "Alright! Lakuna, keep an eye on the entrance, I'll take Master Arthur to tour the store first!"
