nKevin said as he stretched out :

"I'm agree with you, let's tell him that we're okay with his estimate and let's go home, I want to take a nice hot bath.

"

nAxel hugged him and asked :

"Can I take it with you ?

"

nKevin nodded and told him without a second thought :

"Of course there is room for both of us in the small pool of the bathroom.

"

nHe then went back to the store to join Tony and he didn't see the predatory smile that had appeared on Axel's face.

nAxel's suggestion was anything but innocent and Kevin would quickly find out at his expense.

nWhen Kevin arrived Tony seemed to be having a hard time with a client, at first glance Kevin put him in the snobbish category who was full of money and liked to abuse his power.

nHe moved closer to Tony and when he saw the man grab his shirt collar and lift him off the ground, he thought that he had no choice but to teach this man a lesson.

nHe said to this stranger who was completely unaware of his presence :

"I give you 3 seconds to release him or you will have to deal with me first.

"

nThe man immediately released Tony and turned his full attention to him :

"Who the hell are you ? And what's going on here is none of your business, if you don't want to die I suggest you to go away.

"

nKevin ignored the man and asked Tony :

"Are you okay ? What is the problem ?

"

nTony then said, grateful that Kevin had intervened :

"I'm fine Kevin, don't worry, this man just doesn't agree with the prices in my shop and he's accusing me of stealing my customers.

"

nKevin turned slightly his head, he had seen a shadow from behind and he saw that it was Axel, he had stayed in the shadows to observe the situation, he read on his lips that there were 4 men outside stronger than this one and that he was going to take care of them.

nAxel disappeared as soon as he delivered his message, and Kevin smiled while saying to this man :

"The prices in this shop are the fairest you will find in this area, but if you aren't satisfied with it, you can always go and buy what you need elsewhere.

nWhy do you need to use violence when you don't seem to be running out of money ? Those who raised you have probably forgotten to teach you the good manners.

"

nTony coughed to hide his laugh, he had noticed the look Kevin and Axel had exchanged so he wasn't afraid it would end badly.

nThe man tried to hit Kevin but he easily dodged this weak attack, he even put his hands in his pockets, looking at him provocatively.

nThis behavior drove the man mad who screamed in rage and tried to hit him again and again, but no matter what punches he gave Kevin dodged them all easily and he ended up tripping him up which caused this man to sprawl all over the floor of the shop.

nAxel arrived at this moment and he came to position himself alongside Kevin, he put his arm around his shoulders, and he said to this man he didn't know but that he couldn't stand anyway :

"I'm a representative of the Sun Sect and this shop is under our protection.

nI advise you to leave quickly before I change my mind and if you count on your men outside the shop they are already unconscious and inside your carriage.

"

nThis man came from the capital and he just wanted to have fun bullying this shop owner. But, unfortunately for him, these two men had to spoil his moment of pleasure, and without his bodyguards he couldn't do much, so it was better to just leave it.

nHe then said to them in a disdainful tone :

"This shop wasn't even worth stopping by anyway.

"

nOnce this man left Tony thanked them warmly and he was pleasantly surprised that they agreed to sell him the Nerudium.

nOnce the deal was done they talked with Tony a bit and they learned that a high grade magic crystal of large size was worth 200 000 gold coins and they got 2 of them from the legendary box, too awesome !

nTony also told them that he knew a lot of people so if they ever needed to find something he could make his network work for them.

nWhen Axel and Kevin left his shop, Tony thought to himself that it was better to have them as friends rather than enemies, and that Kevin was going to be even more popular than Axel very quickly he was sure of it.

nThe thing Kevin didn't know yet was that this continent had no shortage of powerful fighters, and what everyone was looking for and fighting for on the other hand were powerful mages.

nIn the forest, when Axel shapeshifted into a wolf to take them home, he immediately felt the difference due to the necklace Kevin had found for him.

nUsually he underwent the shapeshifting, but now it was as if he could control it, he felt that he also had more control over his animal instincts, it was really wonderful he didn't feel trapped anymore.

nHe quickly brought them home, the promise to take a bath with Kevin gave him wings and he sped his path using lightning speed through the forest, he could hear Kevin's laughter and his howls of joy when he took sharp turn or jump over the cliffs.

nHe really felt like he had found his soulmate, most people would be scared to death but Kevin was exulting with joy, when they got near to the Sun Sect he slowed down and sniffed to make sure they were on their own before he shapeshifted into his human form.

nAxel wanted to hug him but Kevin stepped back throwing his magic bag at him and said, turning around :

"Get dressed first, and I'll ride on your back Axel, don't even try to carry me like a girl again.

"

nAxel chuckled and did so, once dressed he hugged him from behind and whispered in his ear :

"It's still okay to have a bath together.

"

nKevin put a hand behind his neck and kissed him tenderly, he said :

"Of course it's still okay, but let's save that for later, just quickly take me around and show me where I need to go tomorrow for my first class … Let's also go buy some food so we won't need to go out afterwards, is that okay with you ?

"

nAxel buried his head in his neck and a growl of frustration escaped him, but when he looked up he said :

"Alright let's do that babe, it won't take too much time anyway.

"
