Asura Conqueror

Chapter 25: Balance things out

As they were about to leave the trio heard the news.

"Good Morning Levi City, it is currently 9:30 am in the morning. And now for our first and hottest news. Last night, the vigilante who has been dubbed as 'Red Lightning' appeared again. His latest target was the son of Rowan Krimz, CEO of Kellar Core Traders. Last night the 22-year old had a party at his villa when he was visited and kidnapped by the 'Red Lightning'..."

"Red? Seriously?" Marcus scoffed.

Marcus, Eva, and Nexus didn't stay to listen. They had other things to do.

"Shopping or bank?" Marcus asked.

Eva already had a bank but it's only a local one and Nexus, well, he doesn't even have money on him right now.

Eva looked at him and directly answered. "Shopping. When you have a girl with you, it's always shopping."

Nexus who was at the side took note of it in his mind.

Marcus called a cab with his watch and a few minutes later they arrived at the place where they'll buy clothes.

Marcus didn't need to buy any though. Nexus needs help with picking so Eva offered to help.

"It's best if we buy smartwatches in 2nd rate states as we can directly buy the ones where you can communicate with people from another planet," Marcus suggested.

The other two had no problems with that.

Nexus tried some clothes on with the help of Eva.

He chose a few shirts, sweaters, smart trousers, a suit, a blazer, a trenchcoat, boots, and a couple of shoes.

"Why not just buy the whole store?" Marcus suggested. "We have plenty of rooms, we could use a couple of them as a closet."

Eva shook her head. "We'll do the main shopping once we're in the 2nd rate state. That's when we buy a lot of stuff all at once. This is only pre-shopping."

"Pre-shopping?" Marcus's eye twitched. He looked at Nexus who was holding a bunch of clothes.

"I don't think I'm even gonna wear most of these. I'd probably pick one or two outfits at most, clean them with magic, the use them in a loop." Nexus had a helpless look on his face.

"It's always good to have a few spare clothes just in case," Eva said.

They went to the women's department after they paid for the products that were placed in paper bags. Spatial rings or spatial items aren't common in 3rd rate countries.

Eva chose a few simple yet elegant clothes. She also picked a few footwear. She didn't buy anything formal though. She said she'll buy it in the 2nd rate state together with her sister.

They went to the part where she had to buy her undergarments. Marcus stood as far away as possible while Nexus wanted to follow her. Seeing the girl of your dreams choose underwear in front of you and asking for your opinion is the one true dream.

The money they had spent today was enough to make a few hundreds of people rich.

Marcus and friends finished their shopping.

They went out and headed towards the bank. Marcus and Nexus were carrying tons of paper bags while Eva's hands were free.

That's because Marcus once read that when going shopping with a woman, men had to be the ones to carry the shopping bags. He also remembered the words of his trainer before he died. He relayed it to Nexus who happily did it with no hesitation.

Eva was embarrassed at first. But due to the feeling of familiarity towards each other, a few minutes later she didn't mind anymore. She was not used to this kind of shopping. All she did in the past was buy clothes in cheaper stores and that's it.

They could already be considered as close friends. But that doesn't mean Eva is finished adjusting. There are still certain things that she isn't comfortable talking about. Like the topic with Nexus.

They went inside Humanity Bank. One of the biggest, if not the biggest bank, and widely used bank by the human race from 1st rate countries, all the way down to 3rd rate countries.

The interior was luxurious. White marble flooring, high ceiling with a tinted skylight, leather waiting seats, people were the ones processing things and not robots.

They were here to open an account for Eva and Nexus. They would soon open a business so it would be best to have bank accounts ready. They would just connect it with their watches when they get one.

They went to get a number and waited.

The manager was already notified when Marcus arrived. The guard and a few people called him.

When Owen, the manager of Humanity Bank in the whole 2nd rate country told them to show the utmost respect to Marcus, the manager made every single worker memorize his face.

When they were working, Marcus' picture was there, when they were eating, Marcus' picture was there, the manager said if it was possible they should also dream of Marcus. This is how they were able to recognize Marcus right away.

The manager who was in a meeting tried to hurry it up. He skipped a lot of things just to finish early.

The trio were currently sitting on one of the leather couches.

A few seconds later the entrance opened. A teen with two of his friends came in.

The teen was wearing a white plain polo shirt that was tucked in his grey pants. His hair was tied into a bun.

"Trust me, we just need to go there and boom you'll get your account just like that and then we can go get ready for tonight's party." The teen said.

"Speaking of parties, have you heard about what happened last night?" One of his friends asked.

"Yeah it, was a good thing I was busy last night, or else I'd also be there." Said the teen as he walked towards the counter where they'd make your account. He didn't even get a number.

To make a bank account, you just have to bring your id, and go to the counter. Once they receive it, you'll be scanned and your data on the net will be checked. After a few more processes and a few signatures, you're good to go.

A frail-looking granny who's using a cane for support walked towards the counter. Her steps were slow as to not trip. But once she arrived, she got nudged at the side and fell. She could feel that a bone got dislocated.

Marcus' brows furrowed as he saw this. Eva was about to stand up and give him a good beating, but the manager arrived.

The people all turned to look at him including the teen. He thought that the manager was here for him. He's the son of a senator after all. So he smiled at him.

Managers of Humanity Bank are special people. They have connections to different types of organizations. It's extremely useful to have one as an acquaintance if you want to start a business as there would be no problems with the bank.

The teen's smile froze when the manager went past him.

Marcus looked puzzled, he could see a man in his early thirties with a big nose and a messy top cut coming towards him.

As the manager arrived a few meters away from him, Marcus heard him speak "Young master Marcus it's good to see you back here again. I'm Harv the manager of this branch. I know that the young master has no time for people like me so would it be fine to ask what the young master is here for today?"

Nexus and Eva looked at Marcus, He also looked at them, equally puzzled.

"Play along. You're a prince, it won't be that hard." Nexus said telepathically.

Marcus looked back at the manager and spoke "My purpose of coming here was to open a bank account for my friends."

He tried testing the waters. He showed an aura of a prince.

Harv smiled "That's a very simple thing, follow me to the counter and we'll finish it right away."

Eva hurriedly walked and quickly arrived beside the granny, whose face was scrunching in pain

"Hurry, call the ambulance. Or do you have healers here?" Eva has no pills or potions.

The teen looked at Eva who was kneeling on the floor helping the granny in any way she can.

He felt something between his legs react. His eyes staring intently at her boobs.

This however did not go unnoticed by both Marcus and Nexus.

"No, you can't call, ahem, healers. I have no money to pay for them. I need to use these to put my grandchild to school." Said the granny.

"Granny take this." Marcus pretended to get a pill from his pocket and gave it to the granny in front of him as he also knelt.

"This? Isn't this a medicine pill? This is too precious. I won't be able to repay you." The granny kept coughing.

Marcus gave the pill to Eva and made her handle this matter.

Marcus stood up and looked at the teen near him with disdain. He turned towards the manager and seriously said "The granny can go first. I also hope that you can kick this guy out. I don't like the way he looks at my friend. Oh, kick his buddies too."

The manager nodded. He could feel that Marcus was someone who was high and mighty. He didn't even care who the person he was going to kick out.

'You may be a bigshot in the 3rd rate state but you're nothing more than piss compared to this guy.' The manager thought.

"What? Who do you think you are?! You can't do this to me. I'm the son of a senator. Do you hear me? I swear if you touch me I'll get you fired!" Shouted the teen. He was almost always treated with respect.

The manager smirked. "Fired? Your father won't even dare lay a finger on me. Guards take him away."

He was taken away while the granny was finally cured.

'I miss being a prince' Marcus thought.

"Granny are you okay?" Marcus asked.

"Thank you!" The granny was about to bow but Marcus stopped her.

"It's fine. He was scum and although I'm no saint and I don't go around exterminating bad people, I do take care of them when I see one." Marcus smiled.

"Don't go around exterminating bad people huh?" Nexus asked.

"I only do that for tempering. I could go fight good people at night but I won't be able to fight to the death with them. You know what I mean." Marcus said.

The manager apologized to Marcus for the inconvenience. The process went on without a hitch. The granny came first and then Eva and Nexus. Marcus then thanked the manager for his help

As they were about to leave Marcus deposited money to the old granny's account. It was more than enough to live an extravagant life in the 3rd rate country. It was admirable seeing someone that old do these things for their grandchild. He also asked the manager to protect them for a few years. The manager happily complied.

'I hope that balances out all the killings I've done' Marcus thought. When he was a kid he read something about someone keeping track of all the things everyone has done in their life. Aside from following this kind of principle, he also tries his best to follow his late mentor's teaching on ways to be a gentleman. Although what Gary taught him was slightly twisted.

He had killed a lot these past few days. Not to mention he was keeping people in the 'Chamber'. He didn't seem to be disgusted about the killings but more like his Asura bloodline wanted to fight some more bloody battles. But he also had to be careful not to lose himself along the way.
