I Own the Multiverse's General Store!-Chapter 12 - - $60,000 in Cash?!

Lucius froze for a moment, unsure what to say.

Those people were from his world, and they were also influential. If they revealed that he was selling items like a Love Potion and a Perfume that could increase your chances with your crush, customers would arrive running, not walking.

The prices of the items were also quite high, and Lucius was sure that he would cause more problems than anything else.

"Ah... nothing very important, I guess. This is more where I live than anything else."

Alex's brother frowned for a moment. "Ugh... then how do you make money? What are those vials over there? If you want, I could buy them to help you and reimburse you for the mishaps of my little brother."

"I appreciate it. But it's really not that necessary. You don't have to do something like this."

The man found it strange, but he didn't comment on it.

"Ugh, I'll still buy one. How much is it?"

Lucius knew that he couldn't talk in terms of Universal Gold Coins since that wasn't a currency that was quite yet known in his world. Instead, he stated the price with the conversion from the system.

"Hm, our cheapest item is $10,000, and our most expensive is $50,000. Which one do you want to buy?"

His eyes widened so much that it seemed they were on the verge of falling out. "C-Can you repeat that, please?"

"Yes, our cheapest item is $10,000, and our most expensive is $50,000."

"Big bro! I told you this place was a total scam!" Alex shouted from far away. "They're just trying to take advantage of you. There's no way some small vial like this costs that much money! They won't even tell us what they can do."

Lucius just smiled at Alex's words. After all, he knew that would be the reaction. $50,000 for a perfume was unheard of, and no one would be stupid enough to buy one. There was no doubt about it.

"Hm... that's very expensive. What are those items of yours?"

Lucius just smirked. "If you buy one, I will give you a hint about it. However, the first item is a drink, and the second is a perfume. You can base your opinion on those facts."

His eyes widened even more, and his jaw dropped.

"$50,000 for a perfume?! What the hell is this place? Are you even able to sell one? How have you not filed for bankruptcy?"

Lucius remained ice cold.

"We are doing fine, actually. I have already sold one perfume and one drink."

The man suddenly frowned, trying to imagine who would be foolish enough to buy something like this.

'They have to be extremely rich. Maybe I know them...'

"Could I know their name?"

Lucius shook his head and lied straight to his face. "No, they wanted to keep their identities a secret."

Alex's brother nodded slowly. "Mhm... alright then, I'll buy one of each."

This time, it was Lucius who was surprised. Never in a million years had he expected the man to actually buy those two items.

He knew that he was rich, but was he really that rich that he could "throw" away $60,000 just for the fun of it? Lucius had definitely underestimated him.

"A-Are you sure?" Lucius asked with a stutter.

"Yes. Is there a problem?"

Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.

"Big bro! What are you doing? I asked for your help so that we can threaten their stupid store! Why are you helping them by buying into their scam?"

The man didn't respond as he continued to look at Lucius, who seemed very flustered.

'Is it possible to refuse a sale?' Lucius asked the system, hoping it would respond.

After all, he was bound to slowly find out about what the perfume and the drink actually did, and then that information was bound to spread, which was the last thing Lucius wanted to happen.

If his store was revealed to the entire world, then tons of problems would arise. There was no doubt about it.

-Ding!

[No, you cannot refuse to sell an item to a customer.]

'Fuck.'

Lucius now had no choice but to sell the Erotic Perfume and the Love Potion to Alex's brother.

'Let's hope he doesn't figure out what they do, and if he does, let's hope he keeps it to himself...'

"I see, then please follow me to the counter."

Lucius grabbed one Love Potion and one Erotic Perfume and headed behind the counter, patiently waiting for the payment.

"Ugh... so do you have anything for a wire transfer?" he asked. "This is a pretty big sum."

Lucius smiled. "Cash only, sorry."

Alex's brother honestly couldn't believe it anymore.

'How have they not been bankrupted yet? Cash only for payments over $10,000?'

He shook his head, realizing he did not have that much cash with him right now.

"Little brother, go and get $60,000 from your personal account and bring it back to me."

Alex, who was outside the store, was furious.

"You want to use my money for this?! Are you crazy?!"

"Who caused this problem in the first place?" he asked with a frown. "Stop arguing and go get it."

Alex clicked his tongue. However, he knew that arguing with his brother was a lost cause. He always lost, no matter what happened.

He stood up and ran out of the alley to get some money from the bank.

Two hours passed before he returned with a black briefcase.

He tried to enter the store, but once again, Alicia put her arm before him.

"You are banished from this establishment. You can no longer step foot inside it."

"I'm about to give you $60,000. You better let me in, you fucking slut!" he shouted, clearly not helping his cause.

Even his brother started shaking his head as he walked toward the entrance and took the briefcase from his hands.

"Just stay outside in silence. I'll deal with this."

Then, the exchange was quick.

Lucius verified that he had indeed received $60,000 and gave Alex's brother the Love Potion and the Erotic Perfume.

As he left the shop, Lucius released a sigh.

It was only a matter of time now before information about his store began to spread.
