Demon Emperor's Rise: Becoming The Greatest Villain For My Daughter

Chapter 80 A Hopeful Day





"So, basically, a giant steel gate?" Benimaru looked at Belal weirdly after summing up his description.

"Haha, you can say that. Can you make it?" Belal asked with a smile.

Benimaru agreed by nodding his head. "Sure. After two days, come to my shop. I will be ready by that time."

Belal and Bailey became surprised after hearing Benimaru's words, not expecting such a short time. But they didn't question. Happily agreeing with him, they waited for Tanaka. After Tanaka was done picking his suited guards, he paid Benimaru and eventually was ready to leave with others.

"Wait a second." All of a sudden, Benimaru stopped them, making them curious.

Bailey asked with an inquiring gaze. "What is it, boss?"

"Ummm… If you guys have the chance, could you please try to advertise my items? You don't have to do it all the time, just when people ask you." Benimaru tried to sound as shameless as possible, but his words couldn't lie to others. 

But they didn't mention anything about it; instead, they gladly accepted it. Belal gave a thumbs up to Benimaru. "Boss, we won't ever miss this chance."

"Thank you." Benimaru said it with a little bow, which made Ravenna and others instantly follow.

Seeing everyone bow at them made them flustered a bit, so they quickly left, saying their goodbyes to Benimaru and others.

Once again, the shop descended into silence, in stark contrast to the bustling streets illuminated by the night lights of the surroundings. However, that didn't matter much to Benimaru now, as he was satisfied with just getting this group of customers.

"Fiain, come here." Benimaru suddenly called Fiain. 

Fiain quickly left her position and arrived before Benimaru. "What is it, my lord?"

"Take this note and this communication jade recorder. Go south, just delve a bit deep into the forest, and try to use your communication jade to connect with Ragnar's. After you are able to make a connection, first read what is written on the note. Then connect the communication jade recorder with your communication jade. After the massage inside is done playing, come back." Benimaru said it with seriousness, letting Fiain know the importance of her mission. 

"I will, my lord." Fiain said, swearing with her heart. 

"Good, you can leave now." Fiain left the shop just as Benimaru told her to leave.

Benimaru couldn't let others know about the location of his base by following them, so he decided to use communication jade to his benefit, which would let him freely send messages without worrying about getting followed by others. 

Benimaru has sent Fiain to let Ragnar tell Ragnar about the order he got from Belal. The note had a description of how Belal wanted his item. He didn't worry about Fiain not being able to read, as he had told Ravenna to teach them the language of this world. Unfortunately, only Fiain and Ragnar were able to learn them, while others failed miserably. 

Still, for a backup plan and to not let the blacksmiths misunderstand what was written and told by Fiain, he gave her a communication jade recorder. He had found this item in the shop during his daily scrolling. This would record a short moment of speech, and it can only be used once. After the speech inside is played, the jade communication recorder would reset itself.

'I hope Haturi doesn't mess it up. I don't want to destroy trust with Belal, especially because he is my first customer.' Benimaru contemplated in his mind, still worrying about the result, as it was the first time the guys in the blacksmith would be making something unique without his presence.

But he had some trust in this Haturi, whom he appointed as the main head of the blacksmithing group. This guy was more knowledgeable than others and had a deep passion in his heart for blacksmithing. Also, he was good at it too, so eventually Benimaru decided to give him a name, which is Haturi.

A few hours later, Fiain returned. 

Entering the shop, she saw the shop empty as of the time she had left.

"Tell the other two to come in. We will close the shop now." Benimaru quickly told Ravenna after seeing Fiain enter the shop.

Fiain came before Benimaru and asked with confusion. "Lord, why are we closing so early?"

She has gained a bit of knowledge about how the human city works, as she has seen it after going outside. All the shops were still open, and people were still enthusiastic as if they could go on exploring the nightlife of the city.

"Well, it looks like we would be wasting our time hoping to have some customers. We did get some after you left, but they didn't buy anything and just yelled at us." Benimaru shook his head in frustration, looking tired too.

"How dare they? Lord, tell me who they are." Fiain's face turned stern as she couldn't wait to see who it was that insulted her lord.

Benimaru instantly facepalmed upon hearing Fiain's words. "How many times will I have to tell you that don't think of killing others without my saying. Just throw the word "kill" out of your mind." 

Fiain became a bit stumped and conflicted. 

"Okay, okay. Go to sleep or cultivate. I have a feeling we will have many customers tomorrow." Benimaru didn't push Fiain any further, as he knew she was just worrying about him. 

Fiain quickly recomposed herself and said. "Yes, lord."

At that moment, Ravenna came beside Benimaru after locking the doors of the shop. "Is your feeling really right? Something wrong always happens when you say it."

Benimaru walked along Ravenna to the upstairs. He said it with a darkened face. "Lady, It looks like your naughty hours have started. I won't fall for your teasing again"

"But what I said is indeed true." Ravenna said, giggling to herself. 

Benimaru's eyebrows twitched uncontrollably, but he still refrained from talking back to her. However, that didn't stop Ravenna from rambling about the mistakes he made.

Benimaru was only able to free himself from this torture after she entered her room and Benimaru entered his.

"Are girls her age all like that? I wonder what Ana is like?" Benimaru slumped onto the bed with that before going into a deep sleep.

The next morning.

Benimaru and his crew were fully prepared and ready for today's adventure. 

'Hopefully, there is some improvement today.' With anticipation in his heart, Benimaru waited, and so did others.

But they were met with the same fate as yesterday. No one came to his shop, and no one could be seen passing before his shop.

"Well, it is still too early. So, people might not have yet woken up.' Benimaru thought optimistically and logically.

Close to an hour after opening the shop, there were still zero people showing any interest in his items or even trying to enter his shop.

Benimaru finally let out a helpless sigh. 'It seems I have to give up hope of earning anything. Well, let's just focus on the main mission for now.'

Just as Benimaru was letting the thought of earning some money slip away from his mind, a group entered his shop consisting of seven people.

Everyone, who was deep in the cultivation state, woke with brightened eyes. 

Ravenna quickly came forward and was greeted with a big smile. "Welcome, customers, to Heaven's High, where you can get the best items possible."

The boy in front, who looked very young and had messy blue hair, said to Ravenna. "Oh, so this is the place."

Turning his back, he said to his group members. "Guys, we have finally arrived at the place."

"Argh….finally. I thought big brother Belal was lying to us."

"How can he? It is just that we are dumb, looking for it at the center of a commercial district."

"Hey, don't blame us like that. With how exaggeratedly big brother Belal told us about this shop and how he showcased how good the weapons were, anyone would think this kind of shop would be in the middle of the commercial district where all the top notch shops are located."

The shop immediately brightened after their conversation, lighting up the mood of Benimaru and others for some reason.

"Guys, keep quiet. We will further try to make sure that we are in the right place after we talk to the boss." The boy, probably the leader of this group, gathered everyone's attention. 

He looked at Ravenna and asked politely. "Miss, can you tell us where your boss is?"

Ravenna happily showed them by pointing her finger at Benimaru. "There he is. You can go talk to him if you want."

"Thank you very much, miss." The boy quickly led the group to Benimaru.

Benimaru swept his eyes across this group, which consisted mostly of youngsters. After he was done getting a full checkup, he asked with a smile. "How can I help you all?"

The boy presented his hand forward, hinting at a handshake, which Benimaru took hold of. "I am Nil, boss."

"Boss.." Benimaru whispered softly, laughing a bit because he had somewhat guessed why they came here after hearing their conversation earlier and now calling him boss, which only three people called him.
