Weapon seller in the world of magic

Bai Xun took a deep breath and calmed down himself, "fine, how about I stay far away until you get into your store? You'll be safe then, right? I heard that everyone who steps inside your store will face suppression on their soul."

"Suppression?" Song Yue wondered what he was talking about. Back then, she came several times to the store but never felt such suppression. Is it because she's weak and only higher realm experts can be affected?

"He was here to inspect it?" Mark assumed that it was probably the case and agreed with his suggestion.

Bai Xun kicked the ground and jumped over a dozen meters of height, landing on the blue drake. All Mark needed is just one second that takes for him to swallow the potion. Now that he's far away, Mark sighed in relief and dismissed the Battle Tank. Song Yue saw Mark and Allen. She greeted the Android with a hello but Allen didn't respond to her, mainly due to the auto erasure of his memories about her completely. He doesn't even remember her name.

For some reason, Song Yue felt like it was natural and started to walk. Mark and Allen walked beside her while the stunned soldiers gave their way.

Meanwhile, on the blue drake, Bai Xun frowned once again but this time, not because of Mark. "What is that green liquid in that vial?"

Even from several meters, his vision was perfect and as soon as Mark and Allen got down and walked forward, he saw the vial in Mark's left hand. When he tried to sense it, he felt a very powerful force sealed in that potion.

"Is that the reason he was confident?" He wondered.

Little did Mark know that one of his secret weapons has already been exposed to Bai Xun. Well, he wouldn't care even if he knew. Revealing secret weapons will only provide him more insurance and cause others to hesitate to make the first move.

Soon, the shutter was opened and the three of them entered the store.

Upon stepping inside, Song Yue finally felt the suppression and was stunned on the spot.

A few seconds later, 2.5m Bai Xun entered the store and he too experienced the same. However, he seemed much more comfortable than others as he scanned the store, "The feeling of powerlessness. Ding Zhi's description is on point. But, I can't sense any semi-divine tool though. My Aetherius isn't also responding. So, either it must be a skill placed by some Supreme realm (9-circle) expert or it might be a Divine tool. No, that can't be possible. If Lu Zhen has that fearsome background, why does he stay in a place like this?"

"Commander Bai…"

A voice interrupted his thoughts and brought him to reality and his eyes finally fell on Mark. Previously, when he only saw Mark's face, it was just a suspicion but now, he was sure that he had met this guy in the past or at least someone who looks like him. When he thought in that direction, a handsome man appeared in his head.

Bai Xun got stunned by it.

"Commander Bai…" Mark called him again, this time with an annoyed tone. Why is this guy daydreaming and wasting the time?

"Ah, yes…" Bai Xun turned awkward all of a sudden before clearing his throat and taking out a scroll from his storage ring. "I'm here for two things. One is to confirm certain rumors.

Secondly, to inform you that your name is officially included on the observational list. The Emperor doesn't like spying in secret. Forgetting about your feud with Song Yun, you saved my niece Xiao Yue. That's why I'm warning you in person. Until we determine that you aren't a threat, you will be under constant observation and cannot leave the city without a prefect tagging along with you.

And finally third is to ask your cooperation in catching this person." Bai Xun unveils the sketch of a person familiar to Mark. It is none other than Feng Wu, the mysterious archer who made a big order, not just once but twice.

Mark naturally didn't like his tone. But, he didn't pay much attention to it but focused more on the sketch.

Pointing at Feng Wu's sketch, Mark reacted almost instantly, "I know him. He came to my store and bought weapons but who is he?"

Mark was genuine. He was indeed curious about the person. Of course, it doesn't mean he'll consider the cooperation. After all, Feng Wu is a customer of the store. Not to mention, if he is someone wanted by the Imperial Palace, then, it is even more of a reason for Mark to protect him because Mark's end goal is to burn down the palace, anyway.

In response to Mark's question, Bai Xun didn't give Feng Wu's details and just said that he's someone wanted by the palace and has a bounty of 10000 gold coins on his head, dead or alive.

"10000?" Mark realized that this guy must be really a high-profile criminal. But, it has nothing to do with him. The only thing matter is whether he's useful to Mark or not.

So, Mark decided to capture Feng Wu during the latter's next visit. And he will decide his next move after he confirms the complete story from the wanted person. If he's useful, then, Mark will shield him. And if he is no use, then, he will just hand over him to the palace. As for how he will capture him, it is pretty much easy. Anyone who steps into the store will be powerless against Allen. That is his greatest shield and now, a weapon too.

"Okay," Mark took the scroll from Bai Xun.

"Now that my business is finished, I'm taking my leave." Bai Xun didn't waste a second as soon as he was done with what he came for.

Meanwhile, the heiress of the Song Clan, Song Yue turned speechless.

She thought Bai Xun is here out of curiosity but didn't expect it is an official business.

But, why did the highest-ranking officer come to the store personally for these mere three issues? Can't he just send someone to do those tasks? Not only Song Yue but even Mark wondered the same when Bai Xun stated his reasons.

However, will Mark listen to him?

Something tells her that Mark just gave a false promise. Until now, her impression of Mark is a kind and gentle soul who will go berserk when someone crosses his bottom line and is someone who likes money very much but his actions from a while ago stated that he's also as arrogant as high born nobles from the major clans.

On their way to Bai Mansion, both of them kept silent, having their own thoughts about what happened on the day.

As soon as they reached the mansion, Bai Xun told her that he had something to do and went to the underground storage room, which is filled with dozens of paintings.

He was looking at one after another, and finally, stopped before one painting.

There was a boy in the painting with a bow on his back. Beside him is standing a handsome young man, wearing a full set of armor. He picked it up and took a closer look at the young man's face and stature. Strangely, the painting looks a lot like Mark.

He was stunned at the spot, "how is this possible? Lan Gengxin has been dead for so many years and he doesn't have any siblings or heirs except for one daughter. Is this really a coincidence? I guess need to meet Queen consort Lan Jingyi."
