Chapter 647 - Aunt Lin
Young Master Andrei lost color on his face. His expression couldn't be described as it was extremely ugly. He was defeated, an utter defeat that he couldn't accept. After all, the other party got a Platinum Diamond-level of a VIP card! Not even being a king or an emperor could grant you this card. It would be up on the whim of the store.
He took step backwards and kept shaking his head. He couldn't still process the overall of what happened. This was supposed to be his victory and make the other party knew what humiliation was for offending him. Who would have thought it'd turn out this way?
"You have to honor the end of the bet. Or are you reneging now?" Jin Rou smirked. He purposely said those so the people could hear it.
"You..." Young Master Andrei didn't know what to say. Jin Rou just dug an even deeper grave for him. He was so mad that he wanted to skin Jin Rou alive. However, he truly couldn't back down on the bet or else the prestigious reputation of their family might be tarnished because of him.
Soon, he slowly got down on his knees in a helpless manner. He had to get this over with. Everyone was surprised when they saw the arrogant young master to actually kneel in front of someone! This was a prideful lad who couldn't take humiliation, yet he managed to do the end of the bet.
A few admired him in the crowd. Truly a descendant from a noble family.
Jin Rou chuckled. He was also surprised to see the other party actually doing it. He thought he's gonna renege and run away but he was serious with his words. This earned a little praise from Jin Rou.
"Alright, the show is over." Manager Emy smiled and said, "Please get back to your respective businesses. Thank you for cooperation."
The crowd immediately dissipated after being told. Who would dare to disobey the mighty Manager Emy? She wasn't here because she's just a mere manager of the branch. There was a reason why she was here.
After which, Manager Emy turned towards Jin Rou and said, "Congratulations, Esteemed Customer. You have won the bet."
"It is as I expected." Jin Rou smiled, "Anyway, just get to the point. I know you aren't here because you want to congratulate me, right?"
Manager Emy chuckled and nodded her head, "Indeed, Esteemed Customer. I'm here because Our Grace has invited you for a chat."
"Your Grace, the founder of this store?" Jin Rou asked.
"Yes, she is." Manager Emy nodded, "I don't know the reason for it. However, I know that it is an utmost importance that you must attend to. It won't take more of your time."
"Okay, bring me to her." Jin Rou said. Why would the founder of this store wanted to meet him? He was curious so he would meet her.

"Ah, you are indeed Feng Lin's disciple." The old woman sitting on the rocking chair spoke softly. She was also the 'soft voice' being referred to a while ago, "I can sense his power within you."
"Who are you?" Jin Rou asked with caution. This old woman had a trace of beauty of her in the past. She looked like she had lived for countless of years now with the ancient vibe she was excluding.
"You don't have to be wary of me. I am an old friend of your late master." The old woman chuckled, "I have finally able to meet you. Feng Lin had told me so many stories about you, but I didn't have the chance to meet you as it's impossible to cross over multiple universes like how your master did it. By the way, you can just call me Aunt Lina."
Aunt Lina. He remembered his late master mentioning this person. He said that of all the friends he had, Lina was the one who he trusted the most as he knew he wouldn't break his trust.
"Jin Rou greets Aunt Lina." Jin Rou clasped his hands and bowed. He showed respect to the person his late master had trusted so much, so there was no reason for him not to trust her too.
"Silly child, you don't have to do that." Aunt Lina said this but she was touched deep inside. Who thought that the successor was this filial? "Seeing you upclose is more than enough for me. However, I am very worried about you."
This old woman was one of the oldest existences ever, almost same age as Feng Lin. In terms of seniority, she surpassed several Univeral Laws as of now.
Because of her brilliance, the Destiny store had earned billions to hundred billions of Dao Stones and treasures, making them the largest market available in the whole Fate World. They were the leading one in the market and monopolized the sales for many succeeding years. It was already uncountable so no one knew how many years had it been that Destiny remained dominant in the market.
The store had even a few tens of creation of eon-level treasures here. However, most of them weren't up for sale as it was merely a keepsake of the store.
Moreover, not only she was adept in business, her cultivation was quite deep too. It was rumored that she already became a Dao Supreme and was about to step into the next realm.
"Worried about me?" Jin Rou asked, though he already knew the answer.
"Those people who conspired to kill Feng Lin will come and hunt you down. They will never stop unless they obtain the legacy from you." Aunt Lina sighed, "Those monsters aren't contented of what they have and want to own the strongest legacy there is. And for sure, they have already discovered that you are here in this world."
"Can I know who conspired against my master?" This was the most important question. He wanted to know who to collect debt with.
Aunt Lina looked at Jin Rou and answered, "Three Universal Laws have conspired to kill Feng Lin. Their leader is Universal Law Lucio.. You don't have to worry, they will come themselves and you will know it by then."
