Chapter 55 - Ghost Is A 5-star Alchemist?!
Hearing this, Michael didn't react at all but waited for Gaya to write the last part on the board. He lounged on the sofa and relaxed his body.
The store was full of people, but no one dared to take a step forward and make an order, as everything was just so expensive.
"Oh, wait a moment, look over there!" a man suddenly yelled, pointing to the shop-sign after Gaya finished writing.
"Holy moly, 80% pure pills!"
"Oh my god, are the pills and potions made by Alchemy King Gabriel?!"
"If this is true, then the price is actually very reasonable!"
"This cannot be true! Just think, Lord Keswick didn't have any shops anywhere"
"Yes, you are right. If this store is his, he would have come here"
…
Besides, the prices were really high, so no one was willing to try anything.
But the written introductions were really alluring, especially for cultivators who were now experiencing a bottleneck in the development of their powers. They were desperate to ascend to a higher stage in a short time.
That was why the price of the Arch Energy boosters made by Gabriel had gone up to 15000 gold coins in the auction.
Now, one just needed to spend 10000 coins, and they could possibly enjoy the same effect as the difference between Gabriel's pill and here, only 4%.
"Excuse me Miss, what if I fail to get into a higher stage after I take your Arch Energy booster?" asked a middle-aged man, who was at level 2 of the Body Refining Stage.
"He is the master of the Wincent family, a very influential family in Sarton. I never thought that he would come here alone."
"It is said that he has been in a bottleneck for twenty years, I think he might never enter the next stage in this life without a powerful pill or portion"
"I guess he would like to take this opportunity."
"Anyway, he should tell us what he will do if the pill does not work."
…
All of a sudden, everyone stared at Gaya as she scanned the man from top to bottom. After a few seconds, she agreed with the man. If this man took an Arch Energy booster purer than 80%, he would break the bottleneck and breakthrough to the next stage.
"Ghost" she turned around and nodded at Michael. He slowly sat straight on the sofa.
"According to your current state, if you take the 80% pure Arch Energy booster, I'll guarantee you that you'll break through to the next level, if not, I will pay you back with ten times the pill's value. Not only that but we also give ten times the coins you spent if the products were not 80% pure "
Seeing this, people at present took a deep breath.
"He did not only give a guarantee but also said he would compensate him with ten times' the product's original value?"
"Really?! He would pay 100,000 gold coins?"
The master was a little hesitant. After all, 10,000 gold coins was not a small amount of money. He had to think carefully before making any move but Michael's confident voice and guarantee somewhat reassured him to take the gamble.
Right at this moment, many more onlookers came.
"Do not be tricked by him! He must be lying!"
"Yes! No one would dare to ask for compensation from him if the pill does not have the effect he claims it does."
"You all know who he really is, you can do nothing about him…"
…
Hearing this, all people at present were in agreement.
Yes, even if the pill was fake, no one would dare to ask for compensation from him, especially after he beat the crap out of Jane's bodyguards.
Bang!
Gaya suddenly dashed towards the crowd with a cold look on her face.
"Ah!"
"What are you doing?!"
A few onlookers were dragged out and thrown onto the street by her while Michael sat still without stopping her because they were bad for his business.
She then stepped on their chests so hard as bone-cracking noises came from their chest. The next minute, they all began to spit out blood and passed out.
"You bastards are really brazen! How dare you speak ill of our shop, the Majestic?!" Gaya sneered and even though she was just a mortal, no one dared to raise a finger against her because of Michael.
Then she walked slowly back to the store as people backed off and got out of her way.
They realized that not only Michael but his beautiful charming girlfriend was also a cruel devil.
"If you can't afford our products, no problem but if you dare speak ill of our establishment, I will kick the shit out of you all"
Everyone felt furious and stunned including Ricky and Daniel. Just a moment ago, she seemed so harmless and cute but in a few seconds, she turned into a scarier version of Jane or even worse.
Even with her mortal status, she's this arrogant, and imagine, if she has the cultivation level of Ghost
Damn! even his girlfriend is exactly like him
Bitch!
How dare she treat them like this?!
But they all noticed Michael standing there calmly, so no one opened their mouth to complain about Gaya's behavior. As far as Micheal was concerned, most of these poor bastards can't afford his price and didn't care about their feelings. Like Gaya said, if they have the guts to speak ill of his shop, they better be ready to get their asses kicked.
"Ghost, since you are running a business, you should not treat customers like this" The Master of Wincent family said.
"In the Majestic, we put the customers first but we also do not tolerate any kind of false claims against our products" Michael calmly said as the people at present were stunned.
Put the customers first? Seriously!?
The master of the Wincent Family also shook his head. "Ghost, as a businessman, you should always be honest! You said that if the products are not 80% pure, you will compensate us with ten times the product's original value, do you really mean it?" Everyone knew even the pills and potions made by Gabriel wouldn't be 84% pure at all times but Michael said otherwise.
"Of course I mean it! Buy or don't, it's your choice." he shrugged.
"Fine! Here are 10,000 gold coins, give me the Arch Energy booster"
The Master of the Wincent family took out a grey cube and put the cube heavily on the desk beside Michael.
Michael however did not take the cube but instead, he nodded at Gaya to process the payment. Gaya quickly came to him and took the pay cube
"10,000 gold coins" she said without any kind expression on her face. The man hated their attitude but with the gritted teeth, he placed his hand on the cube as a blue holographic image of 10,000 appeared above the pay cube. In a few seconds, a neatly stacked 10,000 gold coins appeared on the table. Ricky and Daniel and every single person who saw the scene sighed and looked at the gold with sparkling eyes. For Ricky and Daniel, this was the first time they had seen a huge amount like this up close.
Micheal was extremely excited to see the sparkling gold coins but he controlled his emotions and ordered the system to take the coins into his storage.
"Wait at the waiting area until I call you" Michael said.
Ricky quickly stepped forward and gestured at the man towards the line of office chairs as the man followed Ricky.
Meanwhile, everyone waited to see the 80% pure Arch Energy pill and scanned the entire room to see where he was keeping the pills. Until now, people couldn't find a single pill in this store and expected Michael to retrieve the pill from his space ring which he didn't have.
The shop was divided into two halves by a glass wall. One half was the waiting area where fancy office chairs lined up for customers and a large comfy executive chair and table for Gaya.
The other half behind the glass door was Michael's domain. Since this store was a temporary place, he only placed a large sofa and nothing else.
"Oooh, I like this chair" While everyone's gaze was at Michael, Gaya sat on her executive chair and rotated the chair playfully.
"Whoosh!" On the other side of the glass, Michael flipped his left hand, exposing his palm and revealing a bright red flame, hovering on it.
"What is he doing?!"
"Is he going to concoct the pills?"
"Idiot, look there's no furnace!"
"Then what the heck is he doing with the fire?!"
As they were looking at him confused, he tossed all the ingredient right into the flame
"What?"
"What… What is he doing?"
"Oh my god! Is he really an Alchemist?"
"What the fuck?!"
"I'm not an Alchemist but I know enough not to throw all the ingredients directly into the flame"
Everyone was stupefied by the turn of events as no one thought that he's an Alchemist or he would try to concoct the pill himself. Their faces had looks of utter shock and disbelief.
In that next second, however, their jaws almost hit the ground and eyes bulged out of the sockets. The pearls and beads of herbal essences emerged from the flames but took no damage at all. Then the green beads merged into one round shiny pill that radiated Arch Energy and a sweet aroma.
"Holy fuck! look at the pill, it looks perfectly pure and flawless."
"80% pure!"
The crowd who were seeing this remained rooted to the ground in shock. Their hearts were trembling, unable to believe whatever they were witnessing.
"5-star Alchemist!"
"Ghost is a 5-star Alchemist!"
Several people among the crowd shouted as the entire shop became dead silent.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully being a badass. The reward is 800 badass points]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully being a badass. The reward is 700 badass points]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully being a badass. The reward is 800 badass points]
….
Finally, the moment Michael waited appeared. The sweet sound of rings of notifications rang inside his head without a stop.
