Chapter 23: Testing the special eyes! A book?
Chapter 23
"Buy 2 get 1 free! Why stop at cluttering your life with just two unnecessary items when you can have a third for free, cluttering guaranteed!"
"Scram! I refuse to be fooled; you are secretly trying to make me pay for the 3rd invisible item!?"
The shops were lively with customers bickering with the shop owners.
There were shops arranged neatly, as one would expect from a festive market in his previous world.
Oliver also realized something while strolling around.
Although the clan was famous for its ruthless and crazy exorcists, in the end, it was still a clan that had always stood up for humanity against the demons.
The normal people inside were happy and healthy, proper sanitation was maintained throughout the place.
'It looks like only those who belong to or are associated with the main family are the crazy ones...'
He wondered; there was not much specification in the novel when he was reading it.
It was just mentioned that the Mystic Purge Clan was extremely violent, ruthless, and vicious to their enemies, so much so they are feared even among humans.
But looking at the lively market situated in the heart of the clan made him doubt the words he had read.
He sighed and focused on what his purpose of the visit was.
In the next moment, his eyes changed; a mysterious glint passed through his amethyst eyes slowly shifting its color to something else.
It shifted from a light greenish-blue to a bleached purple...
The world in his eyes changed; everything became visible to him, whether hidden or not.
He looked at a passerby, but what he saw was not a human but a walking skeleton.
Oliver was able to vividly see all the 206 bones inside the person clearly; not only that, he could also see the amount of esper present inside the person's body.
Focusing more on his eyes, the scene once again changed, and although diluted, he was now seeing the person's blood vessels, their muscles, flesh beneath the skin.
Although the bony structure was no longer visible, he could see more complex details.
It was like layers in a body.
"Here it is; buy anything you like. If you buy in bulk, I will even give you a good discount."
Looking around, he saw many things.
Firearms, cold weapons, medication, books, potions, exorcism tools, neatly arranged scrolls, and some random materials and substances placed in glass boxes.
This was an all-purpose store.
His pockets suddenly trembled a little...
Although he was one of the young masters of the clan, his budget was definitely not young master-like...
Of course, he had asked for some money from the clan a while ago and thus was allotted some amount by the supervising maid but he felt it was not enough at all.
From his knowledge, all the young heirs of the clan were showered in riches.
And not to mention, Nadia, who could buy anything she wanted with just a word.
'Fuck! I feel like a beggar!'
He could not help but exclaim.
'I need to prepare a source of money for myself soon... I can't be dependent on the clan always.'
Oliver frowned; he had many ideas in his mind that he would be developing in the future, and many of his ideas required massive funds to even start.
He needed money.
The human world had adapted a common currency, which was called Neden.
For comparisons, a loaf of bread costs around 1 Neden.
'Sigh... money is always the problem.'
Oliver's scanned the shop items for something he might be interested in.
"What's that book about?"
He suddenly pointed at a book in a brownish cover.
The shop owner looked over with keen eyes and told,
"Ah, that book is a..."
