Weapon seller in the world of magic
Weapon seller in the world of magic - Chapter 96: The Cerberus Slayer is none other than Lu Zhen?

From the start, Allen's role is to be on standby until he gets a signal from Mark, through the system.

Then, he will summon the attack helicopter from Mark's inventory and use it to help out Alina and defeat Bai Xun, the strongest man in the Imperial City and the guardian of the Phoenix Empire.

Once this supreme commander is defeated, Mark was confident that he can negotiate with the Emperor for peace in exchange for Bai Xun's life.

Considering how Alina's teleportation is available, he wasn't worried about getting her hit.

But, little did he expect that the second prince appears here, of all the times. As if that wasn't surprising enough, the beautiful Song Yue is also here. He watched the screen, intently.

On the outside, Shang Wen was standing straight in his full set armor, staring at the sky with a serious expression. Song Yue was standing beside him. Her face was full of worries.

Bai Xun frowned as he saw the second prince and he slowly landed on the ground, greeting him with a casual bow, "Prince Wen."

As the supreme commander, his position is above that of a prince and below that of the Emperor and Grand Secretariat, and he can only address the crown prince as "Your Highness."

Moreover, the second prince is also his subordinate. It should be no surprise when he addressed the second prince like this.

The second prince also greeted back with a casual bow. Meanwhile, Alina stood there on the roof and watched them. The same goes for Allen who hid behind the store earlier because the residual wind attack came in his way. He climbed the roof and took his spot once again.

Bai Xun then said, "What is the meaning of this, Prince Wen? You are interrupting the orders of his majesty."

"I know. I heard the matter." The second prince replied to him in a straight tone. He continued, "But, even then, the throne is the highest position. The dignity of the Imperial throne is greater than that of the Emperor.

Under no circumstances, you cannot arrest a hero of the Empire and hurt the dignity of the Imperial Throne."

"A hero?" Bai Xun was confused, "what are you talking about, Prince Wen? Lu Zhen is acquitted for several crimes. More than that, he insulted the decree of the Emperor. It is the biggest crime."

The second prince nodded, "I know but all of them are just accuses, stated by someone. Neither you nor his majesty had witnessed it personally. So, at the moment, he is nothing more than an accused. Unless it is proved that he is a criminal, you should take him to the Imperial palace with great honor, not apprehend him like a criminal."

"Just what is it that you wanted to say, Prince Wen? Please explain it properly." Bai Xun couldn't understand why the second prince is standing on Mark's side and even addressing him as a hero. Is there something that he missed?

The second prince replied with a simple statement, "Lu Zhen is the Cerberus slayer and the savior of Jin province."

Bai Xun was stupefied on the spot as if he was electrocuted by million volts of electricity. "He's that same person?"

Suddenly, he remembered the lion when he entered the store. Realization dawned upon him as he connected the two incidents, "That's right, he's a summoner."

The Cerberus Slayer is the name that was spread all over the Empire, over a week ago.

The warriors who returned to their homes spread the name about how a seven-circle realm summoner killed the Cerberus with a single attack and saved everyone.

Bai Xun couldn't help but look in the direction of the store. Another reality struck as he saw the stores beside genesis store were ruined by his earlier attack. On the other hand, the two-story building didn't even have a scratch. Adding on top of that, the stores behind it were also left undamaged.

He hung his head down in shame, feeling as if Mark toyed with him. If the second prince was telling the truth, then, he needed to go all out to apprehend him. Even then, the chances were slim. "No wonder he warned about evacuation."

Taking a deep breath, Bai Xun asked, "What should I do about His Majesty's orders, Prince Wen? I can't return empty-handed."

"I'll take the responsibility," The second prince answered him calmly.

"Alright," Bai Xun nodded in understanding. He glanced at Alina, then, at the store, before jumping onto the back of the blue drake and flying back to the Palace to report to the Emperor.

Meanwhile, Song Yue sighed in relief and thanked the second prince, to which the latter turned his head towards her and asked curiously, "why are you thanking me for stopping him?"

"Eh?" She was taken aback at first, being surprised by her own words and then, gave a quick answer, "I mean you saved the destruction of the neighborhood."

Knowing that she was too kind, he didn't dwell on it and shifted his attention towards the store.

He slowly walked towards it.

Mark, who was watching everything through Allen's eyes, didn't understand what this prince told to convince that commander but his objective turned out to be a failure as people think it was the second prince that saved him.

He was angry at the prince for meddling in his business but Shang Wen was also a customer who gave him the advance. Mark wouldn't act against his customers without a strong reason. That's the number one rule of the system. And he too will follow the ethics of the weapon seller.

He stepped down from his head, climbed down the stairs, and proceeded to open the shutter.

The dust entered the store through the wind, making Mark cough for a couple of seconds before he stepped back while informing both of his Androids to be on standby.

At the same time, he was also ready to summon the lion, once again as there was still time left till the effects of the advancement pill will wear off and he will become extremely weak for the following ten hours.

Mark continued to wait inside the store until the both of them arrived at the entrance and stepped inside.

He greeted the both of them with a smile just like he always does to the customers, "Welcome to Genesis store, Your Highness, Lady Song."

"You are running amok, these days, Lu Zhen." The second prince let out a comment as soon as he saw Mark.

Just as Mark was about to refute his statement, Shang Wen continued, "but, the ones you fought weren't good people either and the outcome of it turned out to be good. So, I will stand on your side."

Mark was taken aback and this time, his smile was real as he bowed, "Thank you."

The Prince then proceeded to say, "I guess you know what I am here for."

"Your order of 5000 bullets and 20 P-365 guns is ready. Give me a moment." He rushed into the storage room and then, poured all the 9mm bullets into a giant box. He started to push as he couldn't carry a box that weighs 80kg with his thin arms.

Shang Wen and Song Yue were surprised by his actions as they couldn't understand why he is pretending like super weak. But, Shang Wen let him pretend that way and handed him the remaining 1100 gold coins, before absorbing the box into his storage ring.

Mark was all smiles as he received 640 gold coins as commission and 960 gold coins disappeared from inventory.
