Free Web NovelChapter 78: Buying Smartphones
Aether Organization, Ren’s Private Training Ground.
Ren and the others were sitting on stone chairs. After reporting their mission to the overseer, they didn’t go straight home.
Instead, they headed to his training ground.
"Elara, did you find the light spell manual inside that space ring?" Ren asked.
"No." Elara shook her head. "Only clothes and money."
"Well, at least, there is money inside it. After we have enough money, we will buy one for your mother." He told her to throw the clothes into a trash can later.
"Un." Elara nodded.
"What about yours, Ren?" David asked curiously.
"Let me check it." Ren sent his consciousness into the ring.
’This is...’
The moment he saw the items inside it, his lips curled up into a smile.
"What is it? What is it?" Lily was curious when she saw his happy expression.
Ren took out two spell books and placed them on the stone table.
"You hit the jackpot, Ren!" Lily and the others said in unison.
"And there is also $1,200 inside." Ren was poor, so his happiness grew bigger when he saw the money.
"Hmm? Lightning Bolt and Lightning Serpent?" Virelia picked up the magic manuals and skimmed them. "They both are basic-rank spells, but they are good, especially this Lightning Serpent. It’s useful against multiple opponents."
"Great! You have offensive magic now." David was happy for him.
"Yeah." Ren looked calm on the surface, but deep inside, excitement surged through him.
Then, David and Lily checked the space rings they had taken from Axel’s underlings.
Even though most of the items were useless to them, they were still thrilled because there were 1,000 dollars inside.
"Looting their stuff was the right decision!" Lily was poor like Ren and Elara, so a thousand bucks was enough to make her smile widely.
"You are right!" David looked at the money in his hands with sparkling eyes. "Isn’t that right, Ren, Elara?"
"Yes", the duo nodded right away.
"Hehe." Virelia could not help but giggle softly.
’They are so cute!’
It was always pleasing to see their expressions when it came to money and delicious food.
"Ah, right! Here is your share of beast cores." Virelia placed them on the table.
Since there were fifteen, each of them got three.
The group continued chatting.
While they were having a good moment, Cassandra was talking with Aria in her office.
Aria wanted to know what had happened during their mission, so she called Cassandra to meet her immediately.
"So, the village also sent a quest to the Nexus Organization, and they clashed a few times during their stay?" Aria was startled, but there was no change in her expression.
"Yes. That Axel kid even attacked Ren from behind when he was fighting the boss’ monster." Cassandra clenched her fist in anger. "If he were not from the younger generation, I would have beaten him to a pulp."
"Are the villagers satisfied with their performance?" Aria asked.
"Well, they were happy because they managed to wipe out all the magical creatures, but whether they were satisfied or not, that is..." Cassandra was not sure about this, as Ren’s group had caused trouble twice. "But Virelia managed to build a good relationship with the people under her command, so I think we are good."
"I see." Aria didn’t blame Ren and his group.
The relationship between the two organizations had been at odds, so it was normal for them to clash.
"Ah, that’s right, leader. We might be getting visitors from the Nexus Organization soon." Cassandra believed Axel and his lackeys would snitch to their instructor.
"Why?" Aria was curious about the reason.
Cassandra didn’t answer immediately.
Instead, she held her stomach and laughed uncontrollably.
The scene of them looting their enemies was too funny, especially their expressions.
"Why are you suddenly laughing?" Aria became even more curious.
Cassandra stopped laughing and asked, "Leader, do you know what they did after leaving the village?"
"Didn’t they return immediately?" Aria replied.
"No." Cassandra moved her right index finger side to side. "What they did was beat Axel’s group until they fainted and take their space rings."
Aria raised an eyebrow. "They did that?"
"Yes." Cassandra laughed again. "You didn’t see their expressions, leader. It was so funny. And the one who started it was Ren, someone who looks like he would never do anything bad. Haha."
She then continued, "Ah, right! Elara and Lily’s expressions were also funny. Their eyes sparkled brightly like they had just found treasure. Haha. We really have interesting new members, leader."
"They sure are interesting youngsters." Aria didn’t mind it since they won the fight.
Cassandra’s face turned a little serious. "So, what should we do?"
"Nothing." Aria’s eyes suddenly turned sharp. "Let them come. If they dare to cause trouble, I will make them regret setting foot on my territory."
"You are indeed the best, leader!" Cassandra grinned widely as she gave her a thumbs-up.
On the other side, Ren and his group were absorbing their beast cores. Since it was only three 1-star beast cores, they finished it in a few minutes.
"What are you going to do with your money?" Virelia threw a question at Ren.
"I’m going to buy a smartphone tomorrow," Ren replied.
"Good decision! It will be much easier to reach you if you have one." Virelia liked it. "What about you guys?"
"Me too." Elara knew how useful a phone was.
She could check quests, see her organization’s latest updates, talk or chat with others, and much more.
But among all its uses, what she liked most was that she could take photos or videos with them.
It was a great way to save their beautiful memories together.
"We will buy a smartphone, too!" Lily and David answered in unison.
Actually, they wanted to buy some cakes and visit tourist attractions, but they changed their minds after thinking twice.
"Great!" Virelia said happily. "I know a good store. I will take you there tomorrow."
Ren and the others agreed right away.
"After you buy a smartphone, let’s create a group chat. This way, we can stay connected and share information easily." Virelia was an idol, so she knew that she would not be able to be with them every day
"Good idea!" Lily stated.
Shortly after that, they went home.

Delvia Town, Virelia’s House.
"Welcome back, young miss. How was your mission?" An old man stood on the terrace and greeted her politely.
The butler’s name was Alfred.
"We had a few problems, but we managed to complete it," Virelia answered without stopping walking. "Are my parents home?"
Alfred followed behind her and replied, "No, young miss. They left this morning and still haven’t come back."
Virelia’s expression changed a little.
"What would you like for dinner, young miss?" he asked.
"Just tell the chef to cook vegetables and chicken." She replied.
"Understood." Alfred quickly headed to the kitchen.
Once she stepped into her room, she lay down on her bed.
’Ah, right. I should call Auntie Sienna.’
She quickly grabbed her smartphone.
"Hello, Virelia? It’s rare for you to call me at this time." Sienna picked up the phone immediately. "What’s wrong? Do you need any help?"
"Auntie Sienna, I will come to your Aurora Store with my friends to buy smartphones tomorrow morning." Virelia went straight to the point. "Can you say they get a fifty percent discount? I will transfer the rest to you later."
She wanted Ren and the others to get good phones, but she knew they could not afford to buy one with their money.
That was why she wanted to help them by asking Sienna to give them fake discounts.
"I will let the store manager know about this later," Sienna agreed right away. "As for the remaining fifty percent, you don’t need to pay me. I would have lost all my business if your mother hadn’t helped me back then."
"Thank you, auntie." Virelia expressed her gratitude.
"Don’t mind it," Sienna replied softly. "Come to my house if you have free time. Aurora misses you so much."
"I will," Virelia answered. "Tell Aurora that I miss her, too. I will visit her in a few days."
"Great!" Sienna smiled happily. "I’m sure she will be happy to hear it."
Shortly after that, Virelia hung up the phone. freēwēbnovel.com
’Everything is set. It’s time to take a shower now.’
She rose to her feet and headed to the bathroom.
----
The moon set and the sun rose.
After they met at their organization, Virelia took Ren and the others to the Aurora Store. They were shocked when they arrived because the shop was huge and had three floors. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
Lily and David immediately asked Virelia to take them to another store. The place was luxurious, so they assumed the prices would be more expensive.
Virelia quickly told them that the prices were normal. The store was huge since the owner was rich.
She also said that the first two floors were for selling smartphones, while the top was for service.
After listening to her explanation, David and Lily decided to follow her. And like what she had asked Sienna, the seller gave them a fifty percent discount.
In order to make sure Ren and the rest didn’t notice it, she lied by saying it was a special day and they were their hundredth customers.
Lily and David were thrilled.
At first, they wanted to buy cheap smartphones, but after finding out they got a fifty percent discount, they decided to buy good ones.
Ren and Elara made the same decision.
After paying, they left the store.
"Shall we go to a nice place to relax?" Virelia asked.
"Yes!" Lily and David replied enthusiastically.
Ren and Elara didn’t say anything, but they nodded their heads.
"Then it’s decided," Virelia said. "Let’s head to the parking lot now."
