Chapter 51: Buying Essentials


    The moon was high up in the sky.


    In a luxurious modern house, three people were having dinner on a rectangr table. They talked while enjoying their scrumptious meal.


    "Baby Brother, what do you think of Zoey?" Eva asked.


    Marcus ced his utensil down and wiped his mouth with a napkin that was close to his te before speaking.


    "She''s a good woman. Very carefree and from what I saw, talented. She''s pretty young but she''s already rank 7 Elite. She must be one of the geniuses here. If not then I''d look forward to actually meeting their geniuses."


    Eva pouted. "That''s not what I meant. Compliment something other than her strength or talent or whatever."


    Marcus thought for a second and said, "She''s very gorgeous. Any man would be lucky to have her."


    Eva chuckled. "It''s too bad you already have wives. She would have been good for you."


    "We don''t know, maybe Marcus''s wives might be okay with having a third sister." Nexus didn''t stop munching on his food.


    Nexus had always been the child in their group. He was the youngest which was why he wasn''t allowed to fight in the past.


    The strength that he umted for 5000 years made it impossible for him to contend against demons and lords. Mana might have been dense out there but experience also mattered.


    Eva swallowed the food in her mouth and said. "Speaking of, why haven''t I seen their faces in my dreams yet?"


    "You just need to wait, Big Sis. The first time it happened, I didn''t even get to see anyone''s face." Marcus finished eating.


    "Mhm," Eva nodded.


    They finished up, and a bot cleaned the dishes.


    Nexus went to the couch, Eva went to the Destrucstone to practice alchemy, and Marcus went to his room to cultivate.


    Marcus sat cross-legged on the bed. His breathing became systematic as he started circting the mana in his body.


    Marcus also activated the Stone of Destruction. Not long after, a destructive aura filled the room.


    He felt at home when he''s in the arms of this kind of aura. The feeling of being able to destroy anything in your path. He reveled in it!


    ----


    The bright morning sun rose on the horizon and soon the birds started chirping.


    Marcus got up and immediately went to the shower.


    A few minutester he went down and saw Eva preparing food while Nexus was sitting on the couch still watching shows.


    Eva of course is not cooking. The food she is preparing is from the spatial ring since they have not gone to the grocery yet.


    Marcus sat down and greeted Eva with a good morning. He then called out Nexus and asked. "Did you even sleep?"


    Nexus stood up from the couch, changed the channel to the morning news, and went to the dining table where Marcus and Eva were.


    He looked at Marcus and said. "Sleep is overrated."


    Marcus chuckled. "I guess Big Sis also didn''t sleep."


    Eva shook her head. "I support Nexus''s im."


    The three had a delicious breakfast. Nuggets and sauce from Jericho''s Diner. Soon after, they went out to fulfill their agenda for today.


    They called a cab since they hadn''t bought a car yet. As for the guards, they left them at home. There was no need to bring rank 5 Elite fighters with them. Marcus just made them cultivate and also, they were the ones testing Eva''s creations.


    The drive didn''t take long as they soon arrived in front of a huge FutureX tech store. Marcus walked in the middle while Nexus and Eva were beside him. The gray building stood tall. Wide sliding doors and a mat that cleans itself outside.


    They went forward and made their way past the door. As soon as they went in, they were greeted by one of the employees.


    The male employee politely greeted"Good morning, sir, ma''am, might I be able to help you?"


    Marcus looked at him. "3 of yourtest smartwatches, please.


    The employee nodded "Right this way sir."


    The trio followed him and arrived close to the counter. He showed them theirtest model.


    The process was quick and they all got the white-colored smartwatches.


    "Now we could contact each other even if we were located on differents." Marcus put the new one on.


    The other two also did and configured everything with the help of the employee.


    The trio left and went to their next destination. They''re going to find needed materials for making formations. There are also materials in the stone but with Nexus'' level of cultivation, he won''t be able to use those.


    They made their way to the central part of the city. Marcus chose where to buy the materials. A ce where both formation materials and magic items are sold.


    The trio went in and looked for materials on the first floor but they were all of the low quality. So they made their way up the second floor but were still disappointed to see that nothing of the ones being disyed were good enough.


    They made their way to the highest floor where there was barely anyone. It was deathly silent. Aside from them, only 2 other people were there.


    They walked on the dark blue marble floors and checked each of the items out.


    "Thank god these ones are good!" Nexus eximed.


    He called for assistance and asked how many of the materials he had chosen were in stock.


    All and each of the materials was ced in a ss box. Only one would be disyed and the others are in the stockroom.


    The employee told Nexus how many they have in stock, to which Nexus nodded. He asked to bring out everything, shocking the employee. He stood there frozen for a few seconds thinking that he might have heard it wrong.


    But, Nexus repeated himself and so the employee left. The employee however, didn''t retrieve the items. He made sure to go to the manager. This was way above his pay grade. This, of course, is what Marcus hoped for.


    Marcus was currently looking at the defensive items and Eva was looking at a few pieces of jewelry. They looked exquisite. Nexus approached Eva and stood beside her.


    "Which one do you want?" He asked.


    "That yellow-gemmed ne looks pretty." Eva stared at it. It was not only a piece of simple jewelry but it''s also a trinket. Though it''s not really a strong trinket, it was what Eva liked.


    "Then let''s buy it." Nexus said and was about to open the ss box.


    Eva shook her head. "It''ll be a waste of money. There are stronger trinkets out there that could be a lot more helpful."


    Nexus chuckled. "Remember that money is never a problem. We can even buy everything here. Marcus wouldn''t mind and you know that."


    Eva looked at him and smiled.


    "Hey! You like that ne?" A man who looked to be in his mid-twenties walked towards Eva, smilingly.


    He had been staring at her for quite some time now and his eyes could not move away from her tits. He had the urge to squeeze and suck on them. The man could not take it anymore so he approached. Both excitement and lust in his eyes shone as he got closer.
