This time when they left Candice's shop after finishing training for the fashion show they didn't return to the Heavenly Palace right away. Andrew had told Carolina and Helena that he needed some materials, so he needed to visit Johan's store.The girls did not ask about it, they were happy to spend more time outside with their husbands, even if they were doing business. Also, they could get some good things at Johan's shop.
Johan's store specializes in medicines. Mainly those responsible for alleviating certain diseases and healing wounds, however, it also had various beauty products, the rejuvenating cream created by Andrew being the most popular and effective.
However, there were also many other products that the girls valued, such as soaps, shampoos, and lotions to repel mosquitoes and cure bites, which every girl in this world wants and needs.
Andrew didn't worry about that, since as a man he generally only needed soap and toothpaste for his personal hygiene, and yes, toothpaste exists in this world.
It obviously wasn't the same as Earth's. It's a paste made from mint leaves and other herbs that is unexpectedly as good as any toothpaste on Earth.
Without much delay, they arrived at Johan's shop and happened to meet Johan's butler upon entering. The butler was not expecting them, in fact, it was a coincidence.
He had gone out to carry out an errand for Johan and had just returned to coincide with the arrival of Andrew and the girls. Seeing them he was surprised, but that was just for a moment and quickly walked over and greeted them respectfully.
"Mr. Andrew, Miss Carolina...", the butler was in the middle of his greeting when he noticed Helena whom he didn't know and had to stop a little embarrassed, he asked Andrew, "I'm sorry to ask, I don't think I know this lady, how do I address the lady?"
The old butler was a cultured and respectful man, Andrew liked him very much because he never judged anyone, he was always cautious and respectful when dealing with someone, which demonstrated his education.
Andrew couldn't help but compare him to Dastan's idiot, but he quickly forgot the thought of people unwanted and no longer living and replied to the butler with the same cordiality that he was greeted with, "Mr. Simon, you are too humble. I present to you my wife, Helena".
The butler was a bit surprised, but quickly adjusted his expression, and turning to Helena he said, "Then, Miss Helena, I welcome you." After greeting her, he looked at Andrew again and asked, "Mr. Andrew would like to speak to Master Johan?"
"Yes, I am here to discuss a matter with him," Andrew replied with a smile. Simón returned the smile with a kind gesture for them to follow him, but before they could start walking, Carolina and Helena approached Andrew and whispered something in his ear.

Simon noticed that the girls were saying something to Andrew, so he stopped and waited for them to finish talking. After a few seconds, Andrew said, "Mr. Simon, it seems that my wives want to buy some soap and other things, could you help me with that?"
The old butler smiled and after nodding his head called out, "Ufo, please come." Within seconds from afar a middle-aged man came running up.
He seemed to be the same age as Johan and was dressed in elegant but not ostentatious clothes and his distinctive well-groomed mustache reminded me of the character Escanor in the seven deadly sins anime.
When Ufo got to where they were, Simon said ceremoniously, but very seriously, "Ufo, these ladies are Mr. Andrew's wives and they want to buy some things, I'll bother you to accompany them and help them with whatever they need".
Ufo was one of the store supervisors and one of Johan's trusted employees, that's why he knew that behind Johan's family, this butler was the highest authority, so he didn't dare to disobey.
Furthermore, this old man was the one who helped him develop in this place, for which he was very fond of him. That was one of the reasons why Simon asked him to do this task because Ufo was not only a good employee, but he knew who Andrew was.
With the importance that the rejuvenating cream had gained, it was obvious that Johan had to tell his most trusted and close employees, to avoid offending the wrong person, and among those employees was Ufo, so when he heard Andrew's name, he understood what the old man asked.
In the business world, as you advance, it is inevitable to antagonize other people, especially if you have gained some wealth and that is why Johan had warned his most trusted employees who were the creator of the rejuvenating cream and that they should never antagonize with him.
Ufo immediately spoke politely, "There is no problem, Mr. Simon. Can I ask the ladies how can I help you?" Carolina and Helena then began to tell him all the products they wanted.
Seeing that the ladies were talking to Ufo, Simon turned to Andrew, "Mr. Andrew, I think you can leave the ladies with Ufo, he will take care of them." Andrew nodded and before leaving he told them, "If you finish shopping and I haven't come back, ask Mr. Ufo to take you to meet me."
This time Ufo did not wait to be instructed and replied, "Don't worry, Mr. Andrew, I will take them personally." Andrew thanked him and left, following Simon to the back of the store to Johan's office.
In front of the office door, Simon stopped and knocked three times and announced loudly, "Master Johan, Mr. Andrew is visiting." Inside the office, Johan had a guest and when he heard the voice of the butler he stood up smiling.
His visitor was none other than Baron Castal, who is one of his biggest and most prestigious clients for Johan, especially for vitality drinks, because thanks to them his sexual life was able to revive, not only with his wife, but now he even had some concubines.
When Baron Castal saw that Johan got up excitedly, he frowned, disliking a little the fact that it seemed that the guest who had just arrived was more important than him.
Johan was an old fox at reading people, especially nobles, and he immediately noticed the dissatisfaction in Baron Castal's expression and with a smile told him, "Baron Castal today is a lucky day, as the person I mentioned may be of help with your problem is this, Mr. Andrew."
Hearing this, Baron Castal immediately changed his expression and with a bit of anxiety said, "Well, what are you waiting for? Let him in". Receiving the baron's endorsement, Johan said, "Go ahead."
Upon entering, Simon noticed Baron Castal and immediately apologized, "My most sincere apologies, I didn't know the master had a guest." Simon knew who the baron was, but deliberately did not say his name, as he knew it was inappropriate. Besides, if Johan had allowed him in even when the Baron was there, it was for some reason.
Andrew also noticed the elegant man sitting in the office. His clothes looked expensive and he had various jewelry, so he assumed that he was not a simple person and not wanting to create enemies he also apologized, "I also apologize for the interruption, it seems I came at a bad time."
However, Johan gave a short laugh and said kindly, "Not at all Mr. Andrew, in fact, you arrived at a very good time, I would like to introduce you to Baron Tiberio Castal."
Andrew was surprised to hear that the elegantly dressed man was a nobleman and quickly introduced himself humbly, "What a great honor to meet you Baron Castal, this humble one's name is Andrew."
It wasn't that Andrew wanted to lower himself, because when it came to status, no one in this world was superior to him as a god candidate, but he had to play by the rules of this world or he wouldn't survive to become a god.
Baron Castal was not rude either, although he did not rise from his seat to greet him, he greeted appropriately, "You don't have to do so much ceremony Mr. Andrew, Mr. Johan has told me a lot about you."
After the greetings and introductions, Johan invited Andrew to sit down and Simon, after preparing some tea, left the room. Even though he was Johan's trusted man, he knew that the nobles would not be at ease with a stranger who had no business in their conversation.
Once Simon had left, Johan began to introduce Baron Castal, "Mr. Andrew, the Castal house is one of the oldest baronies in the kingdom, with great social and economic status. He is also one of my biggest customers, especially for several of the products provided by you."
Baron Castal seemed not to have noticed anything in Johan's comment and limited himself to drinking tea, but Andrew did take the hint. Baron Castal seemed to be entering his old age, so Andrew immediately knew that the product the baron was buying was undoubtedly the vitality drink, after all, with age comes many problems, especially with regard to sex.
Despite that, Andrew was not foolish enough to expose it and merely thanked him superficially, "It is an honor that the baron likes my products."
