My Goddess is Good at Pretending-Chapter 651: The Greedy Caused a Fuss
The electronic ticket was issued, and Lyla couldn’t help it. Xentia was about to manipulate the data, but Elysia held it back. Therefore, they had to pay a double fine and the car was confiscated by the police.
Since it was a rental car, then they didn’t need to bother with it. Since they had paid the fine, the car rental center only had to pick up the vehicle at the police station later.
"We lost the car." Fortuna covered her mouth because it was so funny, especially Lyla’s pitiful expression.
"Fufu~ This is our first time getting a ticket." Elena couldn’t help but laugh in the Elysian Realm.
Lyla was a dwarf girl with a baby face no more than 4.5 feet tall. Although Lyla was an adult, compared to the others, especially by this alien empire’s standards, Lyla could only be considered a minor.
"Sorry..." Lyla tugged the hem of Elysia’s sleeve with a teary face, feeling guilty.
"Hush, hush, it’s fine. Don’t cry. We still have a flying rug. No one can issue us a ticket with this." Elysia took out a magic rug so Lyla could still drive them to the mentioned interesting shop. Even a baby could drive a flying rug, and nobody could impose any rules upon them.
"I’ve never piloted a flying rug before..." Lyla honestly was still clueless about how to control this magic item. It was just a rug, but a magical one.
"It’s okay. I’ll teach you. It’s family-friendly and easy to control even if it’s your first try." Elysia pulled Lyla’s hand.
They sat on the front side. Lyla put her hand on the magic circle and Elysia assisted the command.
Seeing the magic rug floating from the ground, Xentia boarded it and sat next to her master. Fortuna sat sideways behind Elysia as before. They then flew off towards the mech and robot shop.
They bought some highest-quality mechs, robots, weapons, equipment, and many other things. They only chose the best of the best in the marketplace regardless of the price, ignoring the rumors and fuss that arose over their shopping spree.
Since it was the Aegis Starship, the merchants would only present high-quality products, especially the ones from the imperial manufacturers. Their target market was the upper-class people, the rich, nobles, and royalty. Even so, the best goods would be followed by the sky-high price.
Amidst the commotion caused by a series of purchases targeting the highest-quality items, the 5th and 6th imperial princes stormed the imperial marketplace right away. They had their eyes on the strongest flagship-class spaceships, the highest-quality androids, and also the strongest mechs.
Those highest-tier items had been at the top of the imperial marketplace for half a year since their official release, and nobody could afford to buy them yet, including them.
The crown prince and second imperial prince were no longer interested in aiming for more combat power because they already secured their positions. The third and fourth imperial princesses were not allowed to form an army because they served as top-tier bargaining chips. Therefore, they could only form a personal guardian squad at best.
As for the other nobles and imperial family members, nobody dared to offend the top 10 imperial descendants. With no competition, the 5th and 6th imperial princes still couldn’t buy what they were after.
The price was so expensive, even for the Archduke and the imperial princes. The two imperial princes still couldn’t cover it even with the savings they had accumulated for the past year.
And yet, the items they were after were suddenly sold out today! They couldn’t reserve anything without sufficient AGC, but almost everyone knew they were after those goods. They were furious because what they were after was snatched by someone else.
"Who dares to buy what I’ve been eyeing for the past six months?" The 5th prince was furious. He kept moving his feet up and down, feeling restless, wanting to quickly arrive at the imperial market.
The first and second strongest flagships were sold today, and if he had to wait, it would take him at least six years before the imperial manufacturers and factories released the tier-9 spaceships again. He couldn’t wait that long, not when he hadn’t secured his position in the imperial family.
"Oh-ho~ are we going with the same destination, 5th prince?" The 6th prince opened his aircraft window, greeting his restless brother.
"Back at you. I know you’re after the Quantum Wraith and the highest-tier mechas. I heard the three strongest mechs in each class got sold out just now. A total of 18 mechs, including those you’re after." The 5th prince scoffed.
"Yeah, I wonder which bastard bought them all. Is this bastard so rich and flaunting his wealth even though it will offend the imperial princes?" The 6th prince gritted his teeth.
"Ah, no-no! How is that possible!? The Night Witch got a master before I could buy her. Argh!" The 10th prince controlled his shuttle at maximum speed, heading to the humanoid android store with a heartbroken scream.
"That pervert... his dream woman got sold out. He’s going to cause a big scene."
"All he has on his mind are beautiful women. I heard nine artificial humanoid androids and clones got sold today."
"It’s Night Witch, the most beautiful clone with 3rd place in the talent category. She has an unreasonable sky-high price. He can’t even afford the top-100 in the beautiful model category, much less the talent category, but he screams like he lost his wife..."
The 5th and 6th princes stared at the 10th prince’s shuttle with skeptical gazes. They ignored that lecherous guy and sped off to the spaceship district to find out what was really going on.
A few moments later, they managed to obtain the information about the buyer, and it was the Guardian of Dream, a newly created VIP merchant. Although aware that it was most likely a fake alias, a ghost merchant group, they immediately went to Terminal-10998 to confront the said merchant, not caring whether their actions would offend the Merchant Union or anyone else.
The 5th, 6th, and 10th imperial princes were on their way to the same destination. Since the matter became relatively big, some curious onlookers, including some renowned figures, also went to Terminal-10998 to see what these princes would do to the merchant who might be backed by a mysterious super-rich person.
At that time, Elysia and her group of four had just finished buying everything they needed and wanted. Their last destination was the souvenir shop and they spent the remaining of their AGC there.
"Master, a commotion has occurred and some troublemakers will surround ES Nirvana at Terminal-10998." Xentia averted her gaze, staring straight at the ES Nirvana even though she couldn’t see it from her current location.
"We’re done here. Let’s go back now. Aegis System will be responsible for delivering our purchased goods with a 2x refund guarantee and insurance." Elysia checked her timer.
She still had half an hour before she had to return as promised, but the commotion had already occurred to the point where some jealous people wanted to mess with her family’s spaceship.
"The last purchase has been processed. They gave a cashback promo. We have a thousand AGC left now." Lyla showed the list of transactions, all of which had been processed and would be sent under the protection of the Aegis System to ES Nirvana immediately.
"How generous of them." Elysia thanked the souvenir shop in her heart. Among the other high-class shops they visited, only this one gave them a special price and cashback promo.
"What are we going to do about those troublemakers? Our people will clash with them if you don’t give them instructions, Ely." Fortuna reminded it with concern.
"I’ll remind them about this. Let’s return now." Elysia nodded. She notified everyone through the Elysium Channel and also asked Xentia to send a notification to the disciples and representative elders in ES Nirvana.
If possible, they did not need to engage in any confrontation. They only needed to hold their ground to prevent the troublemakers from approaching ES Nirvana and the delivery units.
While the three princes were heading to Terminal-10998 with their respective groups, which were also followed by curious people, the 12th imperial princess, Euphemia, had just landed at the Imperial Palace.
She caught the news about her elder brothers causing a ruckus and would cause a big scene at a particular terminal, demanding something from a particular merchant.
"That’s normal for the 10th prince, but it’s really unusual for the 5th and 6th princes to cause a ruckus. At which terminal will they make a big fuss?" Euphemia rested her chin on her hand, frowning in both surprise and curiosity.
"They’re heading to Terminal-10998, milady." The floating robot assistant responded by showing a hologram map of their current location.
"Terminal-10998... That’s one of the ten Imperial Palace’s city-tier terminals. What kind of merchant are they going to deal with?" Euphemia gasped, wondering what exactly was happening.
"It’s the Guardian of Dream. Based on the recent occurrence in the marketplace network, this merchant just purchased a huge amount of items and it caused the wrath of some individuals because their wishlist got sold out all of a sudden." The robot assistant showed the footage of Terminal-10998. A city-tier spaceship with a menacing appearance was docked there.
"Heh, so this merchant really possessed a Duke-class, city-tier spaceship, and they wasted their credits from the earlier bounty reward to shop at the Imperial Palace. Those princes never grow up. Why are they getting upset just because someone else bought what they wanted? It’s just some cheap items worth only a few billion Aegis Credits." Euphemia grinned widely.
She wished to teach the Guardian of Dream a lesson and retrieve her treasure, but this arrogant merchant already offended three imperial princes at once. Regardless of the cause, she wished to see what would happen in person.
Therefore, she immediately got off her spaceship and went directly to Terminal-10998.
