Magic Shop System

Everyone turned their gazes towards Barret, including Khrom. They could not believe that there was another culprit behind all this. Barret looked at everyone's faces and hesitated for a moment, but then sighed and replied. "He is Elder Beor from the Glont City."

"Elder Beor!" Hot Rod, who was standing at the side with a dumbstruck expression all this time due to the strange situation in front of him, shouted in shock and bewilderment.

Kadyn turned towards him and asked. "You are also from Glont City. Do you know something about him?"

Hot Rod looked at Kadyn and nodded with fear. "Yes, I know a bit about." He took a mouthful breath and went on. "Our Glont City has a guardian—just like other top cities—and that is Elder Beor. However, it would have been better if we had no guardian." He sighed at the end of his statement.

"What do you mean?" Kadyn frowned.

However, before Hot Rod could reply, Elder Jyn interrupted. "That bastard Beor is full of lust. He had done so many atrocities that it is impossible to count." He gritted his teeth in rage and disgust. 

"He has made several unmarried girls pregnant in Glont City." Hot Rod sighed. "Furthermore, no one could speak anything against him, or he would execute them. He is too powerful after all. Not even those nobles dare to voice objection much less commoners." 

"Though he is a piece of shit. He is indeed strong as he is at the peak of the Rank 2 Magus, and after a few years he might reach Rank 3." Elder Jyn said. "That's why the Association didn't take any action against him. After all, he is a great asset to them."

"Am I supposed to feel gratified?" Kadyn sneered. Elder Jyn didn't speak afterwards, spotting Kadyn's irritated expression. Then Kadyn turned towards Barret who had yet to finish speaking. Feeling his gaze over himself, Barret continued. "At that time Elder Beor was going somewhere and stayed inside the Mayor's mansion. I suppose Mayor invited him to his birthday party at that time where he spotted Khrom's wife."

"Impossible! It was this bastard Gul who dragged her away in front of my eyes. If Beor was there I would have known about him." Khrom shouted. He could not believe what he heard. He had just captured the culprit behind all the terrible things that happened in his life. But now he heard that he wasn't the real villain, but there was another hidden boss.

"You dare to touch me, Barret?'' At this moment the Mayor struggled on the ground and stood up with his shaky legs, before stating. "Elder Beor would slaughter you all if you do anything to me"

"Why would he do anything to us for a piece of shit like you? Are you his illegitimate child or something?"

"You bet I am."

"..."

Silence descended over the place. Everyone peered at him with stunned expressions. No one could believe their ears. Mayor Palius was the bastard child of Elder Beor. 

"Impossible!" Barret shook his head. "Your father was from the House of Palius. Everyone knows that."

"Hehe, hasn't someone just now said that Elder Beor is a lusty man? Can't he fuck my mother to give me birth?"

Kadyn opened his mouth a few times but couldn't speak anything. He gaped at Gul Palius as if he was looking at the unique species of an animal in the zoo. What the hell are you being so proud of? Your mother fucked someone other than her husband and got pregnant with you, but you are telling this so proudly. What a bastard!

"So you are a bastard after all," Kadyn said. "And your mother was just a whore that Beor used and threw away. What a cheap son of a cheap mother." Kadyn's face was filled with disgust. He had never met someone like this bastard.

Mayor heard his words and stiffened for a moment before speaking. "Hmph, you are just jealous of me for having a powerful father. Anyway, you can gloat for the time being. However, when my father realise what has happened to me, you would die a horrible death." He glanced at everyone's faces around him and went on. "All of you."

Kadyn looked at Khrom and said. "Give him a nice treatment, and don't worry about that old bastard. When the time comes we will take care of him as we are going to take care of his illegitimate child."

Khrom didn't speak anything, he didn't know what was right and what was wrong at this moment. All this time he thought that the Mayor was his strongest enemy. However, now he realised that he was just a pawn. So that was the reason she behaved like that. She knew that the old bastard was far stronger than the Mayor. 

Therefore, she cut her ties with me, to save me. His heart filled with agony and pain. He felt weak and helpless at the moment. He could not do anything to someone like Beor. As the despair was trying to engulf his heart, his gaze fell over Kadyn. He glanced at Kadyn and saw him nodding at him. Only then a wisp of hope appeared in his dark heart. He knew Kadyn was not an ordinary person, he might be able to take his revenge with his help.

Whoosh!

At this moment Potioneer Yel appeared at the door of the shop. He looked around and his gaze stopped on Kadyn's face. He walked to him and said. "I've brought the thing you asked for." Then he passed a few vials filled with red liquid to Kadyn. 

Kadyn nodded when he received the potion and passed it to Khrom. "Make him suffer as much as possible. He should beg for mercy. He should realise that one needs to pay for his deeds. Make him regret the things he did." As he said a cold expression appeared on his face. Khrom took the vials from him and nodded. Then turned towards the Mayor, staring at him with a fierce glint inside his eyes.
