Chapter 90 Three Customers!

Milly looked at the lavish interior of the shop in a daze and smelled that pleasant fragrance, and couldn't help but remember the stench from yesterday. She still couldn't believe that it was the same shop she had sold Cyrus one day ago.

After she ran away yesterday in embracement, she thought she would never come to this place again. But afterward, she found herself remembering Cyrus and the words he told her.

It was like she was under some mysterious spell, and she longed to see Cyrus even more, and she couldn't even sleep properly last night.

In the end, she gives in to her inner urges and comes in the morning as Cyrus told her. However, when she saw the eye-catching red pagoda, she was surprised since she hadn't seen it here yesterday.

So, she decided to visit this place after she met with Cyrus. However, when she appeared closer to the shop she sold Cyrus, she found she was going toward the red pagoda.

When she finally appeared where the shop was, she found herself dumbfounded as the red pagoda was at the exact spot where the old butcher shop should be. She knew she wasn't hallucinating because she had come here too many times and knew her way around this area.

Then she remembered Cyrus telling her that his shop would be opened in the morning, which she took for granted might turn out to be not as she expected.

And finally, when she walked in, she saw Cyrus talking with two ladies who were none other than the famous iron ladies of the business circle of Albert City about some kind of massage.

She thought she was dreaming, and only when Cyrus greeted her did she snap out of her daze.

"Miss Milly, so you finally came."

Both Carla and Matilda looked at Milly with somewhat hostile gazes as they looked at the beautiful woman who was not any less alluring than them as if they were looking at a new rival.

Milly instantly blushed when she saw Cyrus smiling at her, and she even forgot about the matter of the shop as she softly replied, "I-I was just passing the area, s-so I decided to… to greet you."

'Liar!' Both ladies thought in unison, as they weren't some two-year-old who would believe her excuse.

Cyrus was the same, but he wasn't going to expose her; instead, "You did the right thing. I was just going to demonstrate my skills to these two lovely ladies since they were my first customers. How about you join us? I invited you yesterday, so if you want, I'll give you the same treatment as them."

Milly was astonished and had no idea what he was talking about when her eyes landed on the mandate and instinctively read it. Her eyes went wide like those two ladies when she read it the first time.

Even she found that mandate absurd.

But when she remembered what Cyrus had just said, she asked, "A-are you talking about massage?"

"Yes." Cyrus nodded smilingly.

"Alright!" Milly quickly agreed.

Both Carla and Matilda frowned. But they knew it wasn't their place to speak up since they were not paying customers either, so they would only embarrass themselves in front of Cyrus.

Cyrus clapped his hand in satisfaction and said, "Alright, follow me." Before he leaves the counter, he places a wooden sign which reads, 'Please Wait in the Waiting Area!'

Then he led those three curious women toward the upper floors.

"Mr. Cyrus, how do you make this shop in one day?" Milly couldn't help but ask at this moment after finally collecting her courage.

Carla and Matilda's ears perked up as their purpose of coming here was to find the answer to this same question, but they completely forgot about it. Or, in truth, they didn't have the guts to ask after seeing the small display of Cyrus's capability.

"I use the magic, of course." Cyrus casually replied.

"B-but how can magic create such a complex structure? I mean, is it even possible?" It was Carla who asked this time.

Since Cyrus was replying to Milly, she didn't think he would reject her either.

"Heh, you simply don't know what magic is capable of. That's why you think this way." Cyrus subtly stated.

Matilda also didn't want to stay behind, so she asked, "Then are you from a temple city overseer clan?"

Her thinking of Cyrus as a member of the ten overseer clans is quite obvious. Even the other two also think this way because, in their eyes, only someone from the ten overseer clans could have this kind of ability.

They simply lived in a backwater city, so they didn't have any idea what kind of things those from the ten overseer clans were capable of.

If not for the mysterious dimension emergence at the forsaken lands, then they would've never seen so many high-level visitors in Albert City.

However, they found it strange that someone from the ten clans would open a shop like this in this city, not to mention he promised such an absurd power raise.

Lastly, he was only offering it to women. Was he here to pluck flowers?

However, Cyrus's next reply made them flabbergasted as well as their heart race, "Those ten clans are not worth mentioning. I'm just someone who likes to do things as I please. If I like this city, I might not leave it."

Cyrus leads them directly to the 4th massage floor. There were three lavishly decorated corridors, and they were five large doors in each corridor.

"This is one of the three massage floors. You may choose your private rooms beside the walls, or would you like to go in a single big hall at the end of the corridor?" Cyrus asked.

Although he told them he would demonstrate his skills, he also respects their privacy.

Carla was first to speak without hesitation, "I'll go to a private room!"

"Me too!" Matilda followed suit instantly.

"I-I do the same." Milly nodded shyly.

"Alright, then, what's left is to decide who will go first," Cyrus said before he took out something from his pocket.

They were three plain bronze coins that were placed down on his palm. He looked at the curious eyes of the three women and explained, "Each coin has a number from 1 to 3. Now pick up, and whichever number coin you pick, I'll tend to you in that same sequel. This will be fair and square."

Cyrus had seen too many quarrels among heavenly women on this topic, so he placed this kind of method to avoid such a thing. He was like a true professional.

Both women found this method to their liking, as now they don't have to fight in the first place, and everything depends on luck. But there was still a problem, who among them would pick first?

But Cyrus beat them to it before they even discussed this issue, "You'll pick by the time of our arrival. Meaning, you two ladies will go by the sequel; you entered my shop first, and Miss Milly will be last."

Milly's eyes dimmed as she found it unfair, but it wasn't since this was the only way to avoid wasting time. Still, she didn't think her luck was not that bad, so there was still a chance for those two to pick lower number coins.

"So, who entered first?" Carla frowned as she clearly didn't remember this small detail, and Matilda also grimaced.

"It was you miss. Forgive me; I still don't know your name." Cyrus told Carla with a smile that made Carla's eyes shimmer with ecstasy.

"I'm Carla, and you should call me Carla. There's no need to use Miss. It sounds distant." Carla coyly said.

Matilda wasn't the one to get outshone by sly Carla as she quickly introduced herself, "I'm Matilda, and you have to call me Matilda as well."

"Noted. Now, please go ahead and pick one." Cyrus nodded as he moved his hand toward Carla.

Carla turned serious as she watched all three coins as if she wanted to see through their surface, and in the end, she picked up the left one with an anxious look.

When she flipped it, her expression darkened when she saw '3' written on it.

"Hehehe, what good luck." Matilda snickered gloatingly, and Carla's eyes almost spitfire as she gave her a fierce glance.

Matilda pretended as if she didn't see anything and quickly picked up the coin on the right and flipped it instantly with a victorious smile. But it was short-lived when she saw '2' on the coin.

"What bad luck, huh!" Carla sneered without holding back.

Milly's eyes glowed like the sun as she knew this meant she was number one!

Cyrus smiled as he flipped the coin, and '1' was written on it, and said to Milly, "Alright, Miss Milly, you are first. Get ready. There's an instruction board in the room. I'll be with you in five minutes."

He then looked at the reaming ones, "You two should also go and get ready. Each massage with take 10 minutes, so it won't be long before it's your turn!"
