The Immortal God of War

Chapter 464 An unexpected change

Several shop assistants who were called by Maggie stood there, motionless. What just happened happened so fast that they had not yet reacted.

After a while, the female manager seemed to have thought of something. She knelt down in front of Maggie and said sadly,

"Sir, it's my fault. It's my fault that I didn't manage other employees well. I will change this in the future. Please give me a chance!"

The female manager's tearful expression confused Maggie. Not knowing what to do, he subconsciously looked in the direction of Liu Chi.

Although Liu Chi didn't do anything, Maggie got the answer she wanted from the eye contact between the two.

He immediately said to the few people who were named,

"When running a shop, the most important thing is to treat customers well, not to screen and restrict customers like you do. So pack up your things and leave quickly. If you insist on staying here, I will call the patrol soldiers to deal with it later."

Maggie's expression was cold, and her tone was like the biting cold wind in winter.

Seeing that her tricks had no effect, the female manager immediately changed her expression, stood up from the ground cursing, and kept saying,

"Oh! Who cares about your shabby shop? Other shops have already poached me to be a manager. If it weren't for Count Mikel, I would have left long ago. I still want to thank you."

The female manager pulled off her uniform with force, revealing the underwear she was wearing underneath.

After throwing the uniform to the ground, the female manager walked towards the store door aggressively.

At this time, the man standing next to Liu Chi spoke up.

"Baron Zach, don't worry. We at Alice will record this person's bad attitude and ban him from the service industry."

The man's voice was not loud, but to the female manager whose ears were "perked up", it was very harsh.

The female manager stood there in a daze, turned her head and glared at Liu Chi, then spit out a large mouthful of saliva and strode out of the store.

As the female manager left, the remaining clerks who were called out also tactfully walked out of the store on their own.

Seeing that the original clerk was the last person left at the counter, the man spoke to Liu Chi,

"Your Excellency Baron, do you need temporary help from the Alice Chamber of Commerce in running your store? We have considerable service industry assets in Liro, so it's no problem to second a few people here. Your salary will be deducted from your turnover. As for the supply of magic props, the Alice Chamber of Commerce can also help you. What do you think?"

Liu Chi did not speak, but looked at Maggie.

"You can ask him about this, Maggie. The ownership of this store will be transferred to him later."

The man nodded and walked towards Maggie.

After giving the instructions, Liu Chi ignored the conversation between the two and wandered around the store. By double scanning the magic items with his soul realm and the technology system, he quickly selected several top-quality items from the "garbage dump".

Since the production cycle of master-level and grandmaster-level magic props is long and it is a test for the makers, the best magic props bought in the store are only high-level props with prices hovering around fifty diamond coins. For Liu Chi now, high-level weapons or high-level magic props are essentially the same as garbage.

Liu Chi sat on the sofa, playing with the few magic props he had just selected, and Maggie's conversation with the man also ended.

They finally decided to borrow four employees from Alice, plus the original cashier in the store, for a total of five people.

After sending the man away, Maggie came to Liu Chi with a smile.

"Lord Liuchi, I want to go home first."

"Huh? What are you going home for? Didn't you just say goodbye to your aunt this morning? Why are you going back now?"

Maggie smiled a little embarrassedly and said to Liu Chi,

"Actually, I want my mom to be the manager. I heard her say that when she was in the adventure team, she was in charge of material storage and logistics. I think she should be able to do this job. In this way, we don't have to pay the manager's salary."

Listening to Maggie's words, Liu Chi nodded frequently, but if he took a carriage back, it might be evening by the time he went there and back.

"Okay, I'll go back with you soon. Even if my aunt doesn't agree, I'll try to persuade her to come. After all, this is your plan."

Maggie smiled and nodded, and immediately walked towards the door, but was stopped by Liu Chi.

"It's a waste of time to go back like this. Stand still."

Maggie nodded, and then his vision flashed twice quickly. When he saw the things in front of him clearly, he had already arrived home.

After arriving at Maggie's house, Liu Chi's smile froze instantly.

With the help of his spiritual realm, Liu Chi did not sense Maggie's mother.

Did my aunt go out to buy groceries? Or something else?

Thinking about how Maggie's mother had just received a large sum of money, who knows what she would be doing right now.

Maggie called "Mom" everywhere in the house, but couldn't find his mother. In desperation, he walked out the door.

Arriving next door, Maggie politely greeted an old woman.

"Aunt, have you seen my mother?"

The old woman looked at Maggie, thought for a while, and then said,

"Aren't you at home? Why don't I see your mother?"

Because of her beauty, Maggie's mother was often envied by the women living on the same platform. When faced with Maggie's problem, the old woman mentioned it with great displeasure.

"Aunt, did you see my mother go out? When did she go out?"

The old woman looked at Maggie impatiently and said perfunctorily,

"Yes, yes. After your father died, your mother went out every day. I don't know where she went. She dressed up beautifully."

Hearing what the old woman meant, Maggie frowned, exhaled sharply through his nostrils, and retreated back home. Looking at Liu Chi with his eyes closed in thought, he swallowed and swallowed back the words he was about to ask.

Liu Chi was using his soul realm to try his best to capture any traces that Maggie's mother might have left behind.

As the proportion of soul energy spent on the domain increased, Liu Chi gradually felt a sense of suffocation. At the same time, he made new discoveries in the soul domain.

Suddenly, Liu Chi felt that his entire soul realm went dark. His brain felt dizzy and he fell down. Seeing this, Maggie at the side immediately supported Liu Chi.

"Mr. Liu Chi! Mr. Liu Chi! What's wrong with you?"

Liu Chi opened his eyes, and his originally bright eyes became blurred as if he had taken a love potion.

In his blurred vision, Liu Chi seemed to see Maggie's mother.

Liu Chi endured the severe pain in his brain and used his soul field combined with his sight to capture the woman who appeared in the room.

Maggie's mother wore a headscarf to cover her face and walked outside carrying a small leather bag.

Liu Chi followed the woman's gaze and looked outside the door. The two different lights outside the door made Liu Chi suddenly realize something.

I see!

Liu Chi tentatively turned off his soul realm, and the woman in his sight and the pale yellow sunlight in the morning disappeared from his eyes, leaving only the scorching afternoon sun and the empty doorway.

Liu Chi took his hand back from Maggie, placed both hands on his brain, and endured the pain to open the soul realm again.

When Liu Chi opened his eyes, Maggie's mother did not appear this time.

Soon, unwilling to give up, Liu Chi tried again. After several attempts, Maggie's mother appeared in Liu Chi's sight again, and this time the scene was her sitting in front of the mirror and dressing up.

After several attempts, Liu Chi was very sure that his soul had evolved. The soul realm could connect the fantasies in the brain with what was happening in reality and then display it in his sight.

Of course, the price of doing so is more consumption of spiritual energy.

"Let's go find your mother and see what she's going to do."

By fast-forwarding the woman's movements, Liu Chi saw that after she finished dressing up, she put on a headscarf, put the counted diamond coins in a small leather bag in the room, and then left home.

Maggie was a little confused. He didn't understand why Liu Chi was walking around the house with his eyes staring at something in a daze. So he didn't think too much about it and followed Liu Chi out.

With such a huge consumption of the soul, it is a burden on the body. After leaving the door, Liu Chi immediately put on the armor in the technology system.

The moment he locked the door and turned around, Maggie was shocked by the white armor in front of him. Before he could think about it, he heard Liu Chi's voice coming from the armor.

"Hurry up!"
