"Don lend me some money" Uncle Dior asked Don before exiting the restaurant."Why? Do you want something?" Don asked but he had already put his hands into his pocket to take the gold pouch.
"It"s not for me, it"s for the people in the castle they need some clothes and food"
Don almost forgot about those things, he and Knight were always flown solo in the Divine Continent so they had no experience maintaining an army or people depending on them.
Arrora especially had no clothes of her own and wore the clothes that were given to her by Amaryll. However, Amaryll was no better than Arrora as she always wore the same green dress, now that he"s in the city he decided to buy them some clothes and food for them as Uncle Dior said.
"Alright hey come here" Don signaled the young waiter who served them a while ago.
The young man quickly ran towards Don when he saw Don calling him.
"My lords, is there anything else I can do for you?"
"Yes, I"m looking to buy some clothes do you know any shops around here?"
The young man was taken back by such a question at first but after a moment of searching for an expensive shop in his mind, he found a high-end store that could satisfy a rich brat like the young man before him.
"Luther and Granner, it has the most collection that suits my lords, it"s just around the corner"
"And do you give takeaways?" Don thought he could buy the elves some food other than the porridge the elves always have.
"Yes yes my lord" before the waiter could continue Don took two gold coins and tossed it towards the young waiter. The young waiter instinctively caught the coins but when he realized what happened he was confused.
"It"s your tip for the takeaway" the young waiter"s legs turned into jelly as he heard the word tip however Don picked up a menu to give the orders.
Even though the young man seemed very young, he was extremely good at his job as he started to write everything Don said without asking again.
The young man was extremely happy inside because he got two gold coins as tips and now he"s going to make the biggest sale of his career and a promotion chance is in his grasp after this.
"I"ll bring the food in a jiffy my lord" the Don saw the young man ran towards the kitchen with a wide smile on his face, it looked very real compared to the moment he first welcomed them into the restaurant.
"Don, did you really have to buy food from here?" Uncle Dior was fighting with the feeling of dizziness when he saw Don spending the money like this.
"My people deserve best" Don flatly said but Uncle Dior was shocked in surprise and his opinion on Don went a notch higher.
Don learned many tactics from the family heads and patriarchs of powerful families and sects in the Divine Continent. One of the lessons was if he only focused on his paths and goals without spending some money on his followers eventually their loyalty would fade away he had to treat them well and with respect. Only showing power without any givings would turn him into a dictator, Don"s goal was to be an emperor. An emperor needs an army and people who were extremely loyal to him, loyal to the point they were ready to die for him.
After a few minutes, the young man came out of the kitchen but Don couldn"t see any packages or people carrying them behind him.
"Here you go my lord" the young man held out a small ring towards Don.
"Everything you"ve ordered and some complimentary of the house is inside of this my lord"
Don found that the customer service of Royal DIne was pretty good and he took the ring from the waiter.
"The ring?"
"You can keep it my lord its a gift from Royal Dine to show our grat.i.tude"

The young man said with a wide grin as Don gave the ring to Uncle Dior because he couldn"t open the ring that was sealed with magic energy.
"Thank you " Don said and turned to walk away towards the exit as the young man followed him till the entrance and sent him off with a bow and a face full of smiles.
"Wow, they really treat their best customers well " Uncle Dior said when they stepped out of the restaurant.
"The ring still has so much s.p.a.ce left " Uncle Dior said, injecting his magical energy into the ring and inspecting the items inside.
"Come on let"s go to the Luther and Granner" Knight was excited to see the new place.
Luther and Granner was a high-end store that sells any kind of clothes for all kinds of beings including other races. The store had five stories and made of gla.s.s that Don could see the inside of the shop and the male as well as the female dummies which wore exquisite clothes that welcomed him.
As Don and Uncle Dior walked towards the door as it opened automatically using the magic runes.
"Welcome to Luther and Granner Sir" a well-dressed woman with gla.s.ses welcomed them, she wore tight leather pants, a white shirt, and a black long coat.
"Huh?"
Knight squinted his eyes and looked closely at the woman to see a black tail moving behind her as well as two fluffy ears on her head.
"I heard you are the best store around here to buy clothes and stuff " Don said to the demi-human woman.
"You"ve heard right, I"m Rachel what kind of clothes sir is looking for?"
"All kinds, I"m planning to gift my family and friends with some fine clothes "
"Oh what a wonderful thought, follow me sir I"ll show you the choices we have"
*******************************
At the town square, Jemma and her group were talking with the bold man beside a luxurious carriage.
The bold man was well built and wore a blue robe, behind him stood a group of hooded men in black robes.
"Uncle remember you have to go through the Barren Hills"
Jemma said as the man laughed and ruffled Jemma"s head to show his love towards the young girl.
"Uncle!! You are embarra.s.sing me, I"m not a little girl anymore" however the man ruffled her head, even more, when he heard her.
"You are always a little girl for me Jemma " the man pinched her cheek which made Jemma"s cheek turn red in the place he pinched.
"Uncle enough playing you remember everything right?"
"Yeah yeah I need to escort that brat to the barren hills where these dirty dwarves ambushing people to rob them and using him as a bait to kill those dwarves"
The man recalled the plan that Jemma lectured about.
"But why go through all that trouble Jemma? We could just kill him here and kill those dwarves after " Mervan asked Looking at Jemma.
"What if he had some big power behind him and he escaped?" Jemma was irritated at Mervan"s dumbness but she didn"t show it in her face.
"This way either he kills the dwarves or they"ll kill him and " before Jemma finish
"I"ll kill who remains" the man"s laugh and happy face completely disappeared while he said.
"Uncle I want that puppy alive or dead for my studies, don"t forget"
Jemma imagined as the puppy was in her hands and her eyes began to sparkle in excitement.
"Here uncle give this to your team it"ll help you in case he tried to escape"
Jemma took out a crystal ball and handed it over to the man.
"Bounty ball huh? You cheeky little devil" the man started to laugh again as he took the crystal ball from Jemma"s hand and threw it to one of the black robbed men.
"And bring the heads of those dwarves Uncle I can"t get the rewards without them in the sect"
The man started to rub his forehead as he looked at Jemma
"Jemma you do realize I"m a professional, as well as a great master, don"t you?"
However, Jemma didn"t say anything but hugged him tightly and said
"I know Uncle but this mission is so important to me"
The man patted her back then Jemma let go of him and looked at her watch on her wrist.
"It"s time where is he?"
Jemma looked left and right like she was searching for someone.
After a few looks, Jemma saw the black-robed youth walking towards her with a cute animal on his shoulder followed by a hooded man.
"Brother Michael here" Jemma waved her hands at Don and called out his name as the man looked at the youth with pity.
"It"s a shame he has to die today"
