Chapter 213
“I killed the archmage and the two high wizards and most of the members of the Blood War Gang. I also destroyed their headquarters,” Anton told Frederick.
Frederick’s eyes gleamed when he heard that Anton had destroyed the whole gang.
“Thanks, Anton. I’m fully healed so you don’t need to worry about me and I don’t need to plot my revenge since you’ve already killed them,” Frederick said while sitting up from his bed.
“As compensation, I’ll give you ten percent of the total assets that I’ve received from the gang, and believe me they’re considerable since I found the location where their treasury was located.”
That statement made the mage finally smile.
“Go ahead and clean yourself. We’ll wait for you in the warehouse since I’m going to dump everything I received from this conflict there.”
Anton then went outside the mage’s room and asked his Father and the others to follow him into the warehouse.
When they arrived there, Anton and the others waited for Frederick to arrive. After a few minutes, the mage entered the warehouse together with Anna and her maids who wanted to check the loot that Anton had received from the gang.
“I received three storage items from the enemy mages, two were storage pouches and one was an amulet which was from the enemy archmage. I also looted the gang’s treasury so I’ll dumped that here later once we all inspected the contents of the storage items.”
Anton then gave the storage items to his father and assured Anders that there were no curses or anything like that remaining on the items.
Anders then checked the first two storage pouches and put the contents in one of the huge tables inside the manor’s warehouse. Everyone was surprised at the amount of treasure that came out of them.
“The high wizards from Zalnothel are so rich!” Anna said when she saw the treasure on the table. The gold amount alone was huge.
Then Anders dumped the contents of the amulet from the archmage and this time he dumped everything on the floor since the table wasn’t enough to contain all of the items from the medallion.
Everyone gasped when they saw the treasure that spilled out from the archmage’s storage medallion. The amount of treasure and gold was many times the amount that spilled out from the two high wizard storage pouches.
After that Anton went to a clear space and dumped everything that he took from the gang’s treasury there. Now everyone was numb since the treasure that was spilled on the floor looked like a dragon’s hoard from the stories.
“Father, Nemina, please tally everything. We’ll give ten percent of the treasure to Frederick as compensation for the trauma that he had received. Also please coordinate with the government to check if we need to pay some sort of tax for this treasure,” Anton said and Anders and Nemina just absently nodded while looking at the huge amount of treasure.
“You don’t need to give me ten percent! Just one percent would do,” Frederick said while he stared at the treasure.
“No. I promised you ten percent so you’ll receive ten percent,” Anton stubbornly said.
After that Anton, Anders, and Nemina left the tallying of the treasure to Ignomus and Luminetta since they needed to go to the store to make sure everything would be fine for their grand opening the next day.
Ecturne and some of the mercenaries turned family guards remained at the mansion to guard it while Zenoxus followed Anton and the other to the store.
They arrived at the Oak Sage Store after 30 minutes of traveling using their carriage and when they got there, Anders and Nemina began checking everything. Colin led Anton to the section where the magic items were supposed to be displayed and there were three people there that were hired to manage the items. The three salespeople, two women, and a man were already aware of the different enchanted items that they were going to sell and Eric already provided the names of the items.
Basically, the magic section of the store would display around five to ten of the enchanted items and the rest would be stored at the back.
According to the salesman, the items were priced high enough that only rich folk should be able to afford the items but Anton just shrugged. He and his family already talked about the projected earnings they would receive from the items that they would be selling and due to the very low cost of purchase for the repaired items and low production cost of the enchanted items, they would earn a considerable amount of wealth from the store.
Anders and Nemina also wisely opened an account in the Bank of Zalnothel and stored most of their wealth there since the bank was guarded by several Legends and the bank even had one Supreme.
Of course, as per Anton’s recommendation, they also kept part of their wealth with them just in case.
After storing all of the enchanted items in his inventory, Anton returned to the manor but Anders, Lucas, Nemina, Zenoxus, and their guards remained in the store to supervise everything there.
When Anton arrived home, he went to the dining room to eat lunch. Anna, her maids, the two tutors, and Frederick were already waiting. While they were eating, Anton asked Frederick for details about his capture by the gang.
“I was informed that there was a magical recording artifact there but when I checked it out, they captured me,” the mage simply said.
“Are you still planning to search for recording items? If you do, you don’t need to worry about the same thing happening again since the Archmage Voduria said that I’ve shown enough might that nobody should mess with us for now,” Anton said.
“That’s good. I have a lead on a couple of places but the one that I reported last night needs to be inspected by you,” mentioned Frederick.
“We can check it out after lunch. Are you okay or do you want to rest first?”
“No. let’s go. I just want to busy myself to forget that experience with that gang. At least I earned a lot of gold for that and I’ll be able to purchase any spellbooks that I want,” The mage said.
“Brother are we not going to hold a movie event?” Anna asked.
“All of us are so busy and you will start school on Monday. It’ll probably be a while. More than likely our family movie event will be planned by Father and Nemina for some sort of promotion for our store so they were the ones who will decide.”
“Are we going to watch the Hobbit movies?” Anna asked and everyone on the table looked interested.
“I don’t know. But if you really want to watch a movie, we’ll watch a Disney animated film later tonight just for the family.”
“What’s a Disney animated film?” Mr. Tenor asked.
Anna then explained what an animated movie was based on the first films they had seen before and she also gave a rough explanation of how the animations were made based on Anton’s explanation to his sister. The two tutors looked highly interested when they learned the details and said they couldn’t wait to see the movie later.
After lunch, Anton and Frederic went outside the manor to go to where the mage found the magical artifact that would allow them to record the movies. Anton wondered why they were having difficulty finding such an item since this city was supposed to be one of the most magical cities in the world and recording magic was supposed to be one of the most common magic.
