The First Store System

Chapter 496: The World that Throws Challenge after Challenge(1)

“Will this world also separate individuals as this continent did?” Aakesh asked as his eyes fell on Lily engulfed in a blob of light and Clara, who had been unconscious since the arrival of Katrina.

“No idea,” Katrina answered.

The ruler had created the world for people other than the central ruler to enter her territory, and she had complete control over it. Not even the inner council had an iota of knowledge about it.

Aakesh frowned, hearing Katrina’s answer. He didn’t want to enter the world without knowing whether Lily and Clara would separate from him or not.

If the world would separate them, there were almost zero chances of someone like Clara surviving. Clara had helped Aakesh a lot during the past few decades, so he didn’t want her to die for his adventure. Aakesh was even willing to take her and her family out of this continent with him if she desired.

As for Lily, even if they were to separate, Aakesh didn’t have to worry about her. She had the system’s help with him.

“What do you think? Do you want to enter?” Autumn asked with concern evident on her face.

Autumn was worried about Lily’s safety. Autumn had seen Lily’s strength. She was talented for her own level, but across these areas, the creatures were of a higher level than her, so her talent didn’t play a satisfying role. Autumn believed that if not for her presence, Lily would’ve died only in the first territory she appeared.

“Yes, I will enter,” Aakesh expressionlessly answered since there was nothing forcing him to think different. He had already decided his goal to prove his conjectures, and he would do it.

If Lily’s safety were at stake, he would’ve refused to proceed further, but since no matter what decision he made, she would be safe, Aakesh decided to go for an adventure.

As for Clara, his journey with her has come to an end at this point. He couldn’t force her to die for his adventure, and neither did he want to.

For all the help she had done for Aakesh, he would pay it by taking her and her family members out of this continent into the real world.

“Can you wake her up?” Aakesh asked Katrina as her voice was the reason behind her falling unconscious.

“Aww, are you going to tell her to stop, or are you going to take her with you?” A playful smile appeared on Katrina’s face, and she asked Aakesh.

“I would tell her to return,” Aakesh expressionlessly answered.

Aakesh couldn’t help but be surprised by himself since if it were earlier, he would’ve ignored the question, but now he honestly answered it.

“Hehe, a little speaking isn’t going to hurt you.”

Aakesh looked at Katrina since he believed she was the reason behind him answering the question. As expected, Katrina accepted the crime straight away without Aakesh even needing to speak.

“Stop doing it,” Autumn chided Katrina as she could see Aakesh’s expression changing.

“Ouch! He’s breaking his heart, and you’re breaking mine,” Katrina responded in a pained voice and hit her chest.

“Fine, I will not do that again. Learn to have some fun.”

A few seconds later, Katrina added as neither Aakesh nor Autumn seemed to be amused by her response.

Katrina then turned her head around, looked at Clara peacefully unconscious on the ground, and soon there were movements.

Clara regained consciousness straight away and sat up as if she had never fallen unconscious and was just sitting on the ground.

“Senior,” Clara’s eyes were a little blurry, so she rubbed her eyes and called out to Aakesh.

“Our journey has come to an end,” Aakesh expressionlessly told Clara, making Katrina have a facepalming moment.

“WHat? Why?” At first, Clara yelled in surprise after hearing Aakesh’s statement, but she controlled herself and asked Aakesh the reason behind what he said.

“You are too weak to continue,” Aakesh expressionlessly answered.

“But senior…” Clara wanted to say something in response to Aakesh, but no words came out of her mouth.

“Now, now, don’t be so hard on her,” Katrina moved her hands away from her face and commented.

“Sweetie, you should be thankful that you’re with him, or I would’ve killed you for not kneeling in front of me,” Katrina appeared in front of Clara and commented, making Autumn dumbfounded.

Clara felt her body freezing at that moment as an unbearable amount of pressure attacked her.

As soon as the pressure came, it disappeared as Aakesh, with his eyes getting cold, was about to hit Katrina with a dark energy ball the size of a basketball.

“I was just joking,” Katrina smilingly commented, looking at Clara, seemingly unfazed by Aakesh’s reaction.

“Katrina, there is a limit to your play. Stop doing that,” Autumn sensed Aakesh’s irritation with Katrina, so she admonished Katrina.

“Fine,” Katrina replied to Autumn with a pout.

“As he told you, you’re too weak to continue further. Now, why don’t you return to your father? I will transfer all the territories he had conquered to you,” Katrina’s tone became stern as she told Clara.

Time flew by.

Clara still wanted to proceed, but Aakesh completely ignored her retorts, and Clara had no choice but to leave.

“Here,” Katrina then lightly tapped Clara’s head. The next moment, Aakesh felt as if something was getting snatched from him, and he had no choice but to go with it.

The uncomfortable feeling didn’t continue for long and soon disappeared.

“Now, all the territories he had conquered are yours,” Katrina told Clara.

Clara had refused to take the territories conquered by Aakesh, but since she was weak, she couldn’t even refuse gifts presented to her.

“Senior, will we meet again?” Clara asked as her time to leave had arrived.

“Yes,” Aakesh expressionlessly answered since he had decided to take her and her family out of this continent into the real world.

“Thank you, senior. Bye!” Clara then thanked Aakesh for all he did for her in the past few decades and bid him adieu. She then turned around and stepped into the space crack in front of her.

The next moment, she disappeared from the territory, and when she stepped out of the space crack, she appeared right in front of the table, where her family was having dinner.
