BXBX NOVEL Chapter 85 Opening A Shop (1)
Sitting behind a desk, Milly looked like a mature businesswoman in her suit with a graceful white face and curvaceous figure. She was quite charming.
When Milly saw the trio sitting on the other side, she was quite astonished as all of them were hiding their appearances, while Rita drew her attention the most since she felt somewhat attracted to her, which made her feel strange.
Still, like a professional, she gracefully smiled and greeted her potential customers, "Pleased to meet you. I\'m Milly, the owner of this establishment. How may I help you, gentlemen?"
Cyrus didn\'t beat around the bush as he stated his intention, "I want to open a shop in this city, and I need it to be big, and if there\'s a housing facility above, it would be appreciated."
Milly brown eyes flashed sharply, "I do have two such shops in the most crowded areas of the business districts. One is fifty square feet in size, with a three-story building. You can easily use the upper floors as a residential area.
"While the other is 70 square meters, but it\'s a two-story shop. However, that shop is close to Magic Union Square, so its price is slightly higher than the three-story shop."
"You didn\'t tell us the price, though?" Cyrus smilingly said.
Milly looked at Cyrus with a hint of interest as she had never seen someone with two colored eyes and hair when his skin color was pale white, and his dress could be said to be unique. So, she was slightly curious about what kind of man was hidden behind that mask. Still, this matter was irrelevant.
"The three-story shop price is 50,000 Union Credit while the two-story shop is 80,000 UC. If you\'re a Rare Union Member, then you will get a 5% discount, and if you\'re an Experienced Member, then you\'ll get a 10% discount." Milly revealed while maintaining a smile.
Hilda told Cyrus that the properties in the third-grade cities were cheap, and they used these types of discounts to compel high-ranking experts to stay in the city. So, he wasn\'t surprised by the price or discount.
"So cheap?" Rita muttered under her breath as she remembered that Hilda had over a hundred million UC, so she thought things would be expensive.
"Excuse me?" Milly looked at Rita with uncertainty as she didn\'t quite catch what she had just said.
"Alright, I\'ll take the two-story shop close to the magic union." Cyrus chimed in without giving Rita a chance to clarify.
Milly\'s attention was again drawn to Cyrus as she was somewhat startled, "Don\'t you want to look at the property before?"
"No, I trust the words of a beautiful woman anytime," Cyrus said matter-of-factly.
Silence descended the room as Milly at Cyrus strangely, \'Is he flirting with me? Are those two his sisters?\'
However, when she felt suddenly cold glances locked on her, she felt a chill down her spine when she saw Rita\'s curious eyes were now sharper than blades while Hilda was ever icier.
\'What did I do?\' She was dumbfounded and looked at Cyrus, who seemed to be completely oblivious to the atmosphere. She dryly smiled, "Ha… Mr, you are quite funny. If you really want to buy the shop, then please give me your Union ID to register it, and your payment needs to be clear upfront. It will be done in a minute."
"Here. This is the Union ID of my associate." Cyrus placed his hand in his front pocket and took out a white crystal card which had a strange marking on its back, while in front were written words of this world\'s common language.
Both Hilda and Rita looked at Cyrus in unison as they clearly didn\'t know from whom this ID belonged as it was the first time them seeing it.
Hilda thought he would use her ID since both Rita nor Cyrus didn\'t have any Union ID.
But it seemed he didn\'t want to reveal her identity. It also makes sense since it would be quite a hassle if people knew the heiress of the Silver Wing Clan was working in a shop owned by a nobody.
Even the ruling family of Albert City had to bow their head to her, so it was not a good move to reveal her identity like this when this situation could have been avoided.
Now the actual question was to whom this ID belonged.
Milly naturally had no idea about this, so she took the ID and read the name, "Miss Poppy?" She looked toward two women, and they looked at Cyrus.
"It\'s her." He pointed his finger at Rita.
"It\'s me?" Rita was bewildered before it finally dawned upon her as she remembered Cyrus killed some woman this morning, so this card probably belonged to her, and now it was used to fool the system.
Hilda also understood the origin of the identity card.
Milly could sense something was wrong, but she couldn\'t put her finger on it. Still, she didn\'t think about the matter since they were customers who were going to pay her, so it didn\'t matter.
She then opened a drawer and took out a palm size disc before she touched its black smooth surface, and an interface lit up on it. She then tapped her finger over it again, and the interface changed.
Afterward, she placed the white crystal card over it and then pressed again before she picked up the card and gave it back to Cyrus while saying, "The magic registry is now in the name of Miss Poppy as long as you complete the payment method, it would be complete."
While saying that, she moved the disk toward Cyrus, which now had a card shape interface and words. Cyrus then glanced at Hilda meaningfully.
Hilda knew it was her turn, so she didn\'t hesitate and picked up the disc as she was quite familiar with this device, which was a common registration device issued by the union. There was no need to go through the long process of paperwork anymore.
The union ID cards both work as ID proof as well as credit cards with unique magic bank account numbers, and with these devices, the payments can be transferred to the bank account at any time instantly.
Although magic brings calamity to humans, it also makes everyone\'s life much easier.
Hilda held the device at an angle where Milly couldn\'t see it, and her golden crystal card appeared in her hand before she pressed it on the card interface and let it scan it, and it was done in three seconds before the card in her hand vanished, and she returned the device to Milly.
Milly wasn\'t bothered by the action of Hilda since it was her privacy. As long as the payment passed through, it mattered little who paid it.
What made her curious, though, was actually Cyrus, who seemed to be in full control of those two women\'s actions.
"Here\'s your ID card." Cyrus \'returned\' the ID card to Rita with a wink to Rita.
Rita squinted her eyes while accepting it as she muttered, "I don\'t like the name."
Cyrus ignored her and looked at Milly, and asked, "So, is it done?"
Milly looked at the disc\'s interface and nodded, "Yes. Your payment has been successfully transferred. Shop no. XXX on Blue Street is now in Miss Poppy\'s name. Let me escort you to your new shop."
She was quite happy with this instant business as she normally had to go between places to please the customers, and some even wasted her time. But Cyrus didn\'t even bat an eye to buy the shop without even looking at the goods.
This made her even more curious about the mysterious man.
Cyrus chuckled as he said, "Of course, you can be my customer. If you like, I\'ll give you special treatment."
Milly couldn\'t help but ask, "What kind of business are you planning to open? I don\'t mind buying from you, Mr.? Sorry I didn\'t get your name."
Hilda and Rita also looked at Cyrus again as they wanted to know what kind of business he was going to open since they were already done with the preparation, so there was no point in hiding it.
Cyrus finally revealed, "My last name is Lust. As for what kind of business it is, I\'m going to open a Spa Center, and it\'s exclusive for women."
Everyone looked at Cyrus in bewilderment as if he was some kind of ghost.
"Are you serious?" It was Hilda who asked.
"Of course. Do you think just because magic made your body strong, you didn\'t need any treatment? Heh, you\'ll know once you try it." Cyrus plainly answered.
"I-I\'ll come by when you open your shop." Milly stiffly promised as she clearly didn\'t have any intention to go since she also didn\'t think she needed any treatment like Hilda.
Furthermore, Cyrus\'s name gave her even more creeps, so she clearly wasn\'t going to let him touch her.
Cyrus didn\'t look flustered, as it didn\'t matter if he received some customer or not. It was just a small step to a bigger scheme!
