Weapon seller in the world of magic

"Owner Lu's appearance has a striking resemblance to my father's. I was taken aback, Your Majesty." Lan Jingyi quickly gave a logical excuse before she was questioned by the Emperor regarding her action of wiping the tears that were about to leave her eyes.

"I know, I was also shocked when I saw him for the first time," replied the Emperor as he nodded.

While the Emperor didn't think much of it the same, the others were surprised. On the other hand, Mark's heart skipped a beat.

The Emperor then looked at Mark, "Did you ever hear of the name, Lan Gengxin?"

Mark shook his head despite knowing it, "No."

"He is the leader of Lan Sect, which was destroyed long ago due to the beat tide but that's another story." The Emperor explained to him. "If he's alive, he'll be about your grandfather's age but um… just don't mind me asking this question. I'm a bit curious.

You don't happen to be unaware of the names of your grandfathers, right?"

Mark hurriedly answered, "My paternal grandfather is named Lu Chang and my maternal grandfather is named Yi Ju. More than five years ago, they were killed along with my parents by a burglar."

"Is that so, I'm sorry for your loss." The Emperor spoke softly before turning away to walk towards the weapons section.

It was then the Queen Consort opened her mouth, actively initiating a conversation with Mark while momentarily forgetting about her position, "There was something that I want to ask you. I heard that you are from the village of Houtang. Your mother, was she perhaps, Yi Zexi?"

"Hmm?" The Emperor turned around once again, staring at his wife. How does his wife know about Lu Zhen's mother's name? Does Lan Gengxin really have an illegitimate child? If that's the case, then, Lu Zhen will become a relative to the Queen Consort, thereby, to the Emperor too.

"Dear, do you know his mother?" He asked before Mark answered her question.

Upon hearing his words, Mark quickly said, "I apologize, Your Majesty, and Queen Consort Lan. I'm not interested to share information about my personal life with people whom I have just met. You are here as customers. I'm here as a weapon seller. We'll keep the relationship just that way."

Lan Jingyi didn't get what she wanted but she atleast confirmed 80-90% that Lu Zhen is her son.

She decided to stop by, later, just like when she visited the store in secret, a few days ago. For now, she could only shut her mouth and follow her husband.

Once they left the reception area to go and look at the weapons, Mark let out a sigh of relief, "I thought I was caught. But then again, it's the first time I'm hearing that I look like my late grandfather. Maybe, this is the reason why that man from Lan Clan visited the store to enquire about me?

Anyway, let's forget about that and focus on the Emperor. He is rich enough to buy any weapon from my store. Since he will probably be adamant on seeing Tishanan, let's sell that weapon to him."

Mark waited until they returned with Chang Bo coming with a list.

He took them and read the list of items. It contained one item of every weapon available in the store for the normal public.

"Single-shot pistol x1

Revolver x1

P-365 x1

P-226 x1

Fragmentation grenade x1

Mark asked in surprise, "Your Majesty, do you wish to buy everything on the list?"

"Well, of course." The Emperor firmly nodded his head and explained, "Second Prince is interested to make a new division for firearms and I also promised to make them official once the results were clear. Still, I need to experience them myself to see how they work."

In reality, this is what the Grand Secretariat advised him to do. The Emperor trusted his judgment and followed it.

Mark glanced at the list once again. He calculated the amount in just a few seconds, "815 gold coins… I think it is the perfect time to milk more money from him."

Mark then looked back at the Emperor and put up his standard fake smile, treating him completely as a customer, "If His Majesty is willing to try every weapon, our store has other models too. It's because they were too advanced and expensive for the normal public while my store is fairly new, I had to keep them secret. If His Majesty is interested, I can show them, now."

"Are there others? Go on." The Emperor gave him permission to display them. If not for his desire to look at the beast emperor, he wouldn't have bothered to waste so much time.

Mark took out three weapons, one after another.

"This is a falling block rifle, this one is an M99 rifle, and this one is a rocket launcher."

Mark explained their features in detail. Chang Bo, General Ye Yin, and Grand Secretariat stared at them in a daze, especially at the last two heavy weapons.

A weapon that can assassinate a person from more than 2 kilometers away and a weapon can launch a powerful attack to decimate a group of 5-circle experts. What kind of concept is that?

In an instant, the Emperor felt the potential of these firearms. He realized why his son was trying very hard for this division.

Flying puppets will provide trump cards for the Empire but these weapons will increase the power of the military of any Empire that possesses them. They don't even need Spirit Warriors to operate them. This is firearms' biggest advantage.

"Okay, I'll buy one each. And those, what are they called again? Yeah, ammunition, I need 100 of respective ammunition from these rifles and about another 50 of these warheads." The Emperor lavishly spent a great amount of money even without seeing the demo.

However, Mark wasn't done yet. He made his father spend more money as he announced, "there's one last weapon. It's the most sophisticated of all. We have only one of them in the store at present."

*Thud*

Mark took out his famed Quadra-barreled Chimera SMG (shotgun, grenade launchers, machine gun) from his inventory and placed it before the Emperor. With its unique shape, it quickly attracted the attention of everyone in the room.

Mark felt proud when he witnessed curiosity in everyone's eyes.

"This is Chimera SGM. As you can see, this contained four barrels. You can shoot people from hundreds of meters away.

You can also shoot explosives to blow the enemies. With two grenades launching at the same time, the blast radius will also be greater.

And if the enemies are weaker, you can also click this trigger to shoot shotgun pellets.

This is priced at 1600 gold coins. Believe me… you won't be disappointed with this beast…"

"Is that so?" The Emperor was a little skeptical about its price but seeing that Lu Zhen is overenthusiastic about the weapon, he decided to spend it. In his view, a couple of thousand gold coins will neither make him poor nor will make a person like Lu Zhen, a rich fellow.
