Chapter 1054 I Will Throw You Ou

Jaisi Alstreim had even grander dreams like becoming a wealthy woman that will enable her to reach the Eighth Stage and live a prosperous life in the future. It was basically guaranteed if she could maintain this Inn and realize the profit for a hundred years!

At that point, she could even become a Mid-Level Eighth Stage Expert, filling in the ranks of the Elders, and someday, even become the second female Grand Elder, just below Grand Elder Elise Alstreim!

That person was her idol and a symbol who supported her ideals, but after the Aqua Flood Dragon's incident, she couldn't help but feel sympathetic.

When a woman makes a blunder, she is treated worse than a dog; she couldn't help but lament that person's fate.

As for the rumors that she controlled the internal affairs...

'Heh... Who exactly on the seat of Grand Elders didn't want to control the state of affairs?' She sneered.

In the end, even the third group wanted the list first, and she somehow convinced all of them to trade with her.

As a result, she obtained their backing in the form of low-level missions for hundred years, three hundred thousand High-Level Spirit Stones, thirty Peak-Level Spirit Stones, and a few other miscellaneous favors that guaranteed fresh carca.s.ses and patrons to her Inn.

All that for a single list from Alchemist Davis!

"Crazy! These people are all crazy!" After returning to her lodging, she couldn't help but scream at the mirror.

Fortunately, she felt like she had missed an arrow to the knee. If anyone knew that she had actually tried to earn Alchemist Davis's favor, she knew that it was possible that she would be bullied to death! She couldn't hope to stay alive after offending this bunch of men in greed and women in heat as she had no backing!

She was a woman who knew how to measure, and she knew that she lost and was not worth the moment Alchemist Davis didn't even bother to cast her a glance. Either that, or he was already ensnared and entranced by that poisonous and seductive woman, becoming unable to look at another woman s.e.xually, but the existence of another wife destroyed that hypothesis.

In any case, she knew that she should stay away and instead compete in the Grand Alstreim City for resources at her own pace.

Xiao Meili walked out of the Spirit Attribute Source Hall and reached the first floor with an excited smile on her face. She couldn't help but grin like a fool.

But, her expression suddenly became calm as she saw the people in front of her.

When she arrived on the first floor, she went stiff for a second but continued on as she received the jealous looks of her seniors. News had already reached their ears, and she perceived that Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim must've told Manager Yuven about her promotion, which in turn caused everyone to know about the event in the Spirit Attribute Source Hall.

Nevertheless, she put on a brave face and walked towards her post as she strode past them.

However, only after strolling past them did she recall that her duty wasn't to return to the first floor and take care of patrons but to a.s.sist the manager and command other people like the previous her. That meant she has to introduce herself again to these people, flouting the position of vice-manager.

Feeling a bit timid, she thought otherwise but finally gathered her courage and was about to turn back.

But...

*Whoos.h.!.+~*

"Hahaha!"

Everyone swiveled their heads to look at the entrance and saw a youth with flames blazing under his feet laugh out loud!

"Hahaha! I'm first!"

"Quick! Where is the manager of the store!? I, Kayan Alstreim, the leader of the Burning Sea Brigade, wants to have the manager show me around!

Xiao Meili became intimidated.

Two seconds later, a fat person came flying from the inside.

"Leader Kayan, hahaha! Welcome to our Verdant Alstreim Treasure House!" He boisterously laughed and exchanged pleasantries.

Many were wondering why there was an intensity like this with the young man when their attention was taken again.

*Shhhh!~*

The soaring sound of flames searing the air echoed.

A woman flew in and looked around before she pointed at a person, "You! Aid me in browsing some treasures!"

"Eh!?" Xiao Melli became taken aback as she saw the renowned vice-captain of the Burning Sea Brigade point at her!

"Kayale, what are you doing? I'm acquiring treasures for you, not for me..." Kayan Alstreim echoed before following Manager Yuven into the store.

"If you insist, brother..." Kayale smiled and no longer bothered to look at Xiao Meili as she left with them.

Xiao Meili's lips twitched. Even with her new status, she was still ignored.

'Ah... I still haven't changed my robes...' She realized that she still wore her blue robes with one little s.h.i.+ny star-patterned over her back. It denoted her status as a low-level staff in this place.

After that, numerous people continuously entered the Verdant Alstreim Treasure House as they landed before the entrance. They quickly pointed towards a few people, and the staff all obliged to show them around as they were already acquainted with each other.

The Verdant Alstreim Treasure House remained a famous store, and the younger generation experts would've at least visited the first level once in their meager lifetime.

Xiao Meili looked at them as they disappeared one by one. All of them looked like they were potential patrons but seeing them choose someone else when she was first in life; she inwardly laughed as she recalled her dark past. She turned back and knew that she should head towards Manager Yuven to report and a.s.sist.

However, she was suddenly stopped as her shoulder was grasped by a hand!

"Eek!~"

Xiao Meili screeched and retreated a bit and turned around. She looked at the person with a frown before her eyes widened into two saucers as she recognized the man in front of her.

"Haha! Little Meili, take this young master around the Verdant Alstreim Treasure House. I want to purchase a few treasures that are on my mind." The young man pompously spoke.

Xiao Meili frowned as she shook her head. She didn't want to entertain this person. The last time he fancied a senior in this store, he defiled that senior after he pulled some strings to make life difficult for her.

She resigned and fell to his lap as if it was the natural thing to do.

'I won't make the same mistake as her...' Xiao Meili inwardly vowed.

"Mhm?" The man noticed the despise on her face, and coldly laughed.

He reached out his hand and tried to grasp Xiao Meili's wrist.

*Pat!~*

Xiao Meili struck his hand and retreated a few steps back as she kept staring at him.

"I will throw you out if you to touch me again..." Xiao Melli had her eyes narrowed.

The young man seemed to become visibly taken aback.

She moved two more steps back before she turned around and left.

"Hehe, getting arrogant, are we?" The young man coldly laughed before he looked at an old man waiting at the side, who was almost looking as if begging to make him bring him around.
