The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 471: Fear of Serek
“Good. You should familiarize yourself with the dragon building first. The store will be open to customers from tomorrow, so you better be prepared for what is to come. Also, you can cultivate on the second floor during your free time, but no one else should be allowed to go there.” Jiu Shen could already imagine the chaos that would occur tomorrow, but with the system protecting the shop, there was nothing wrong.
Jiu Shen and his workers were protected by the system as long as they were inside the golden fence. With their support system, Jiu Shen could control the life and death of anyone in this place!
The young ladies started wandering around the dragon building, touching and admiring the things inside. They all had bright expressions as they wandered around the new branch shop. Some of them also went outside to observe the spiritual plants in the garden. While some decided to check out the large pond behind the dragon building.
To ensure that they would be safe, Jiu Shen sent a mental message to Atlas telling him to protect the girls in secret. “Atlas, these young girls will work in the store. They are still quite weak because they are young, so make sure they are safe at all times. Also, tomorrow will be crowded as this will be our first opening. You may have to train your old bones at that time.”
Soon, the old turtle gave him an answer. His voice was filled with the calmness and confidence of an Elder who had experienced so many things in life. “Yes, Sir! I will not let anyone hurt these young people. As for the shop, I will destroy anyone who dares to desecrate it!”
“Good!” Jiu Shen was satisfied with the old man's reply. Now that it was dealt with, the only remaining problem was who would take care of the spiritual plant. For this, Jiu Shen forgot to bring the people he had in mind because he was in a hurry earlier.
“Hey, you're there. Come.” Jiu Shen summoned one of the Soul Puppets.
“Mastered!” The Soul Puppet immediately came over to Jiu Shen and greeted him respectfully. This Soul Puppet was quite powerful. It has the power of a peak stage Supreme God realm expert! It was also the reason why Jiu Shen pointed at him at the golden gate.
“Out of this city, you will find a group of people camping in a temporary settlement. You should be able to find him since there are other Soul Puppets there. When you reach that place, find Theia and tell her to bring this. person for me.” Jiu Shen handed the paper with a picture of several people on it.
The Soul Puppet took out a piece of paper and looked at the images before storing them inside its armor. “I'll bring them here, Mister!”
Jiu Shen nodded and waved his hand. “Go now.”
The Soul Puppet bowed to Jiu Shen before leaving in great haste.

“Good work! Let's go over there. I want to see for myself what kind of group the City Lord would like us to observe.” Serek muttered in a serious tone. From the tone of the City Lord's voice, this group seemed to be connected to the humans he had met at the old restaurant.
Serek, with over a dozen subordinates, carefully walked towards the path that the scout had brought him.
A while later, Serek finally realized something was wrong with this place. It was strangely silent and without any ferocious beasts! He had been here several times before and this place was inhabited by several dozen ferocious beasts. However, he soon calmed down and attributed this change to the group that settled here.
‘Maybe they cleared the beast.’ thought inwardly while following the scouts, but he still did not lose his vigilance. There is a sense of danger that is becoming more real as they get closer to the settlement. It made her feel nervous and anxious simultaneously. He would only be like this if there was a threat to his safety! That meant, there was something or someone in the group that was capable of taking his life!
‘Are those people who were together with Jiu Shen also strong?’ Serek felt the trip this time was not as easy as he thought.
Suddenly, he felt a powerful aura locking him and his group on the spot!
Serek was horrified when he realized that he could not move his body or release his strength. The strength that bound him and his group was too strong for them to avoid!
‘We're in trouble! Goddamnit! City Lord, why didn't you tell me this?!’ Serek cursed in his heart, his face getting more and more unsightly.
Shortly after, the group of Serek finally saw a figure moving towards them with calm and steady footsteps. He did not look very impressive, except that he had a cold and indifferent expression that was apathetic towards life. The man had a shield tied behind his back, and he also had a sword strapped to his waist. The man's pair of emotionless eyes scanned Serek and his subordinates, making them feel a wave of fear emerging from their hearts.
“This place is off limits to outsiders. I don't feel bad intentions from you guys, so I'll save your life. Go!” The man spoke in a calm voice.
Serek and his subordinates felt the limiting power in their bodies weaken. They later discovered that the man was gone. However, Serek immediately ordered his subordinates to retreat with him. Fuck those! They almost died here!
“Come back!”
