Millennium Tension

Chapter 20: Do You Want To Go To The Party?

In the shopping area inside 'Alion Hall' which is the best shopping place in Stanford City, Ana and Axel are busy choosing the clothes they want to buy. Aizen smiled wryly and followed them even in the women's shop.

"I want this... Um... This is also good." Ana swiftly took clothes for herself and Axel to the employees who followed them everywhere, but the inconvenient employees seemed happy because this was their big customer.

"Master Aizen. What do you think of this dress?" Axel who had just come out of the dressing room asking to Aizen's opinion while got a lot of envious gaze from other female visitors.

"Um. You look so beautiful as if you want to go to an amusement park." Aizen commented briefly on the long white dress with lace adorning the sleeves and bottom currently worn by Axel. Just how many times has this asking opinion activity been repeated over and over again, but Aizen still patiently accompanies them.

"Then I'll take this one too." Axel cheerfully returned to the dressing room.

Even though it has only passed an hour, but this cycle has been repeated until the number of clothes they will buy becomes very large. Aizen who is currently the only male in the area called 'Fragrant Area' in the best shopping area in Stanford City gets glances from other female visitors. Even though the 'Fragrant Area' is reserved for women and all the workers are women, it does not prohibit the arrival of male visitors here, it's just that they need a strong mentality to survive.

Ana and Axel take turns trying on clothes and ask for Aizen's opinions. They know the figure of Aizen is very dangerous for women, so they agreed to leave one person who remained by his side and chase away those bitches who kept watching them.

Ana who saw Axel coming back and Aizen is caught off guard apparently not paying attention to her, then she hurriedly smuggled some sexy underwear for herself and Axel to their purchases. Seeing her mission succeed she smiled mischievously and gave a thumb up at Axel, while Axel just responded back with a thumb up from behind Aizen.

Aizen who is still relaxed and does not try to read the minds of his two girls knows nothing about this. Feeling sufficient after touring in this large area, they decided to return to the main cashier to calculate their purchases.

All purchases at 'Alion Hall' make payments at the main cashier, while in each shopping area are only given proof of purchase using the buyer's identity, and the goods they about to buy are also collected at the main cashier and stored in a special locker until the customer finishes shopping.

Seeing the number of their purchases consisting of women's clothing, accessories, jewelry, and some men's clothing that they had chosen some time ago in other areas and are now being collected together. Aizen knows this will take a long time to calculate the cost of their purchase.

But suddenly he got a message notification from the [Axtia Goddess] system that is currently still connected and updating their database, the contents of the message are about the City Lord who invited him to a party that will be held tomorrow night at his mansion. Seeing this Aizen frowned for a moment.

"Ana, Axel... Do you want to go to the party that will be held by the City Lord of this city tomorrow night?"

"Hm... Daddy, were you invited to the party?" Ana also frowned slightly knowing they had just arrived in this city and there was no way the City Lord would invite a stranger to his party.

"Um. I just received the invitation message from City Lord." Aizen confirmed while nodding softly.

"Will it be all right?" Axel was a bit worried, maybe the incident at the restaurant a few moments ago triggered this invitation.

"Of course, I'm sure this isn't a trap or anything. Since I didn't offend anyone, we would be fine. So, want to go to the party tomorrow night?"

"Un! Then I want to go to the party!" Ana who heard that immediately became cheerful and seemed excited about what would happen at the party. Little did she know, her little jealousy would explode because of this party she was waiting for.

"Um. I'll go too."

After Ana and Axel agreed to go to the party tomorrow night he replied to the message from the City Lord that he would come. Seeing that their purchases had been counted, Aizen approached the female employee at the cashier and looked at the costs he had to pay.

Eleven million dollars for all their purchases, but just before he made the payment to the hologram screen like in the previous restaurant, a middle-aged woman came to the cashier of Aizen's purchase and seemed to replace the role of the female employee at the cashier there.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Aizen. I am Theresa Stanford, manager of 'Alion Hall'. I got your information from Mr. Darius from the 'Heavenly Pavilion' for your visit some time ago. Can I borrow a platinum card given by Mr. Darius for a moment?" Darius some time ago informed all managers of the business owned by the Stanford family about Aizen's status and instructed them to provide special services to him.

Aizen who did not think long gave the card and Theresa seemed to do something and scan the card. Instantly their purchase of what had been eleven million changed to around eight million dollars.

"Sorry, sir. It seems that Mr. Darius forgot to explain again about the use of this platinum card. In fact, this card will also provide a discount of twenty-five percent of all transactions you make in all Stanford family businesses." Theresa explained and only received a nod in response before Aizen completed his payment. After everything was finished, once more Aizen stored all their purchases to [Storage Space] and they left not saying much.

Theresa was just stunned to see three figures who were getting further away from her view. After a while, she smiled and licked her lips, who knows what she was thinking.

Their next visit is a classy bar with a dance hall called 'Red Rose'. Aizen accompanied them to enjoy some typical light cocktails before inviting them for a dance. The dance of three people who followed the rhythm of a beautiful song immediately became the center of attention on the dance floor. The graceful and elegant movements amazed many nobles, and as soon as their dance ended they received applause from the audience.

Aizen, Ana, and Axel who were satisfied with their date tonight and saw that it was already late at night, they went to the most classy hotel named 'Grand Weisses Hotel', the place where Aizen had reserved a 'Grand Suite', which was the best room and only had one available in any classy hotel like this.
