Picking up Girls With My System - Chapter 462: Troublemakers in the Shop

The liquor store was busy the entire day, and even when night came and Arthur wanted to close it out, clients were still coming! That made Arthur think of one thing, “I will have to hire some people to work here.” .

It would be necessary, or Arthur would have to spend much time inside the store, which was impossible! And he had a casino to run and many souls to get.

“Also, running a demonic cult is not easy, right?”

After a few customers went inside, Arthur moved toward the front door and changed the signing that said ‘open’ to the one that said ‘closed.’

That would not make the customers leave, but at least it would keep the new ones out, as Arthur was not running a 24-hour shop. Perhaps if he were using the shop to earn money, he would work his ass off, but that was not his case, so he didn’t need to keep it open until late.

The last customers inside the store drank for thirty minutes, but no one wanted to leave after they got drunk, pissing Arthur off.

“Nefion, old man, just stay quiet and let us drink, right? After that, we will get some of your liquors for free!” one of them said.

These men were not middle age but young people that were probably students from the nearby school who had time off and went there to cause problems.

Why would they go there if not for problems? The bigger liquor stores had plenty of security, which was not the case for Arthur’s small shop.

Of course, there was no way for them to know that the small shop was the most secure place on the planet, as it was the home of the strongest being.

Arthur sighed after hearing that, saying, “will it be like this?”

He did not want to cause problems for them. They were just dumb young, weak mages who were not thinking straight.

They laughed, getting up from their table, “will it be like this? What? HAHA, you are saying that you have any chance against us. Get to your place, weak sixth circle old man!”

All three young men were tenth-circle mages with the decent talent to have a shot at reaching the rank of an Official Mage. That was why they did not see Arthur as a threat, but that was their mistake.

Arthur slowly walked toward them and punched each one in the face, making their white teeth fall from their mouth, and a lot of blood came with it!

Three punches, all of which happened so fast they did not even see Arthur move his hands!

“W-W-W-What?”

After that, Arthur kicked the belly of each man, sending them flying away through the front door of his shop, falling unconscious on the street.

“Trashes.”

He closed the front door of his shop and aimed his palm at the building, activating all the magical formations he had placed on the first day of buying the shop. It was enough to keep all the trespassers away, up to rank-four mages!

“Even if these three bring up their entire family and friends, they will never break my formation.”

Arthur returned to his house, which was close to his shop, and once there, his wives were already waiting for him.

“Why did it take you so long in the liquor store?” Jane asked.

“People are causing trouble after getting drunk. Common thing, right? Anyway, how it went with the positions in the school?”

He wanted to know if his wives had gotten themselves a position in the school, as that was important for him to get his hands on the spells of that world, and also for him to get himself a part-time job for tomorrow, as he wanted to meet with the so-called strongest mage of the country.

“It went well. Wisa and I are the new teachers, and Sybille will take care of the library. All we had to do to get the positions was show them a power of a rank-two mage, which is quite impressive around here,” Jane said.

“Really? Do you think I can get a cleaning job for tomorrow or something? I heard in my store that the strongest mage is coming to the school, and I want to meet him.”

“Cleaning? Yeah, it should be possible.”

It was not like that was an incredible job. Many different people got a similar position, and Jane had seen at least 30 other people cleaning all the courtyard and rooms of the school.

Arthur was pleased by it and talked with his wives during the night hours, trying to get as much information about the school as possible, like its layout and power structure. He wanted to know precisely the level of his world so that no more problems would come his way.

Well, he had a troublesome problem as people were looking for him and wanted him dead, but that was the only problem he wanted, and nothing more.

An older man went inside the Sky Dragon Magic School the following morning. No one knew him, and no one wanted to, as he was just an ordinary mage that posed no threat to the powerful mages of the college.

The man was Arthur, who spoke with one of the managers and got himself a cleaning job that barely gave him any payment, but he was not there for the money, so he had no complaints about that.

Nothing happened during the morning, at least nothing interesting. Arthur cleaned the courtyard, shoving away the nearby trees” dead leaves and cutting some of the wild grass that grew there.

Some students passed by him, making fun of his looks and weak power.

“How can you be so old yet so weak?”

Usually, older people had to be stronger, as they had practiced magic for more extended periods, yet Arthur was not among those people, at least not to the eye of the weak students who could not realize how mighty his power was.

Arthur endured it, saying no words. He only wished to see the strongest mage in the country, and that person arrived in the afternoon!
