The next day;

Mark had forgotten about yesterday's incident and opened his store early in the morning, trying to behave like usual.

Alina had already returned and brought a piece of good news with her. With the war about to start in a week, he is now eager to complete the incomplete deals as soon as possible.

It was about 8 in the morning. Allen had gone to spar with Lin Xue. Chang Bo came early. Alina was taking the weapons out from Mark's inventory and placing them in their respective cabinets.

As it is Monday, there's no customer rush because everyone had gone to work. There was only one customer inside the store at the moment. Mark had no interest in this customer because she comes every two days.

Every time this teenager comes to the store, she would keep asking about every weapon again and again, but in the end, only buys like 20-50 bullets.

If Mark wasn't wrong, he believed that this girl with the surname Yu has a crush on Chang Bo and that's probably why she kept on visiting the store so that she get to spend time with him. Unfortunately, Chang Bo was too dense and he doesn't have any idea.

Since his employer always tells him to never show hostility against the customers unless they are rude and cross the bottom line, Chang Bo just treated her like one and patiently explained about the weapons.

"I see… So, this one has requirements, huh." The girl grabbed her chin as if she was thinking of buying it. After a brief amount of silence, she opened her mouth, "Do you think if you can…"

"Hello, Owner Lu." A sweet yet crispy voice interrupted her words. Chang Bo and Yu Ah turned their heads to look at the new person that arrived at the store. A trace of surprise appeared on their faces.

Neither of them had probably heard of yesterday's incident at the training ground. So, they were surprised to find the fifth princess at the store. What's more, she even had this wide smile on her face.

"Welcome to Genesis Weapon Store, Your Highness." Mark greeted his sister formally just like he does for every other customer. He expected her to arrive. So, he was calm, although he was a little bit taken aback by her expression because in the three instances he had seen her, there was nothing but an expression of seriousness on her face.

But now, it was completely opposite.

Meanwhile, Shang Jiao walked toward the counter while remembering the promise she made to her mother. Upon reaching her brother, she took out two scrolls from her storage card, "this is from the Imperial Palace and this is from my father."

Mark took the both of them and read the letter from Imperial Palace, first.

Since it is an order from the Imperial Palace, the message was quite blunt. The Princess is going to work at the store for four weeks without taking any wages. Her work timings are from 9-12 and 2-5.

There was no information about her training or anything like that.

And in the second letter that was personally written by the Emperor, the reason was explained and there is a request for her training in the firearms.

Everything is good except for the last line where the Emperor asked him to not treat her harshly if she unknowingly makes a mistake and to protect her like an older brother.

That last bit of word irked him the most. So, by the time he read both of the letters, he had decided that no matter how she acted, he will never even view her positively.

"So, what should I do now?" Shang Jiao asked him while maintaining a smile on her face.

"Chang Bo!" Mark called out for the welpire kid. The teenager left the customer and walked toward the counter.

"Lord Lu," He bowed to him before greeting the princess with an even deeper bow.

On the other hand, Shang Jiao didn't return the greetings. If anything, there's a look of disdain in her eyes as Chang Bo is not only a commoner without any background but he is also weak. There's no reason for her to treat him equally.

Unfortunately for her, Mark had spotted it. Immediately, he said, "Princess Shang, the moment you start working in the store, you are no longer the princess but are just Shang Jiao, not only for me but also for my staff.

? Chang Bo is my first employee. So, he is senior to you. So, his position is naturally higher than yours.

Even if you don't want to respect him, it is fine. But, disrespect towards him isn't tolerated. I hope you remember that."

There was no longer a smile on his face like usual. Instead, he was stern in his statement so that this spoiled princess understands that he was serious.

If it was the previous Shang Jiao, she would have stormed out of the store in anger but she came here with a certain mission, fulfilling a promise to her mother. So, she tried to be as calm as possible.

She clenched her fist and released it, and then, again clenched her fist. After doing it like four times, the anger inside her settled down.

"Alright, I will keep that in mind." Shang Jiao nodded and forced herself to slightly bow towards Chang Bo, "I'm in your care."

"Chang Bo, explain to her about the weapons, feeding the beasts, and everything you have learned here." Mark then looked at Alina, who was just standing against the wall and reading Journey to the West and told her to look after the customer.

Shang Jiao nodded and followed Chang Bo, earning a moment of displeasure from the girl surnamed Yu. But then again, what can the poor girl do? Even if Mark says that she won't be a princess during working hours, does she have the courage to even say anything to the princess?

Unfortunately, Nope…

So, she could only leave the store while buying a bunch of bullets.

About half an hour later, the next customer arrived. Well, Zheng Ha is not exactly a customer but the person standing next to him is.

Both of them entered the store and exchanged greetings with Mark.

"Owner Lu, this is my friend, Zhu Jianhong." He introduced the middle-aged fellow that looked very rich, based on his wear.

"The store's interior is really unique," Zhu Jianhong commented with a smile as he looked around. "It's a pure white marble. Very expensive and quite durable. You have good taste, Owner Lu."

"Thank you." Mark smiled in satisfaction. So far, many customers visited the store and bought many things. However, not many would recognize the stone because granite and marble stones, for some unknown reason, are even rarer than ether crystals in this world.

"May I know the reason for your visit?" asked Mark, hoping for good news.

And just as he wished, Zheng Ha brought a piece of great news, "all the items you have asked for have been procured and are on their way to the Imperial City. As for Brother Zhu, he came from the Lunaris City of the Western Moon Kingdom."

"Western Moon?" Mark looked at him.

Shang Jiao, who was on her way to report to her brother, stopped in her tracks, "Hmm?"
