The first thing he noticed at first was that the two Market Shops were made into Rank 1,5! That was certainly something new that Frank had not seen before… it left him quite surprised, and he didn't really knew what it exactly was, but it was mostly like a way to almost reach Rank 2.
He still got benefits from that one thing, as he acquired more items in stock and he could now exchange a greater quantity of coins for App Points. It seems that these Shops might Rank Up the more he Leveled up.
Now, he required 2000 EXP, which he could gain slowly through selling items or also by battling strong monsters. Ruby had defeated a few monsters in the forest, but that netted very low EXP, almost just a few handful of single digits, so he required to defeat stronger foes if he wanted to gain more EXP out of it.
Sadly, Miriam and Arthurious didn't know much about what he wanted to know, but that was fine as well, it wasn't as if he was going to learn everything in the world through only two children, he had to go outside as well.
So he planned to do it tomorrow at the beginning of a new week by registering in the Trainers Guild and searching for more information regarding items, he could even go look for things in other shops, although he had already visited the shopping district and found nothing of what he was seeking.
Of course, as the day came to an end in here, he decided to quickly go back home. After Miriam and Arthurious enjoyed dinner in here, they quickly went back to their homes.
"Miriam, make sure to bring your siblings food, and be stealthy over it." said Frank.
"Okay!" said Miriam.
Frank had yet to tell them that he made Onyx follow them around for security purposes until they arrived at home, Onyx' main body followed Miriam, while a strong Shadow Clone the dragon created followed Arthurious, the two merged into their shadows, so they couldn't really be found out through normal means.
With that said and done, Frank also spread a few shadows across the city to investigate the Black Eye organization in the sidelines, and then returned back home.
As he moved back home, and as the night slowly advanced, a group of people suddenly gathered at the back of Frank's building.
They seemed rather suspicious, as all of them were wearing clothes covering their facial or body features. However, it wasn't as if they were ruffians, but they had bad intentions.
"So this is the place, huh?" asked one of them.
"Yes, this is the shop that has been selling things at half the normal market price!" said a second.
"So an aristocrat is working here… we shouldn't really try anything if that's the case, he might use his connections to find out about us…" sighed a third.
"No, he's actually not an aristocrat anymore, he was disowned and only given some money, which he used to buy this massive building and open a store there. Well, the idiot calls it a "Monster Pet Nursery" or whatever… he seems to even be able to attend ill monsters…" said the first.
"I see… It has only been a week since he began but he's already drawing a lot of our customers away…" sighed the second.
"Well, there's no point in holding back, I already checked inside using my Ghostly Jellyfish, and there are no lifeforms inside, apparently, so we can go on and ruin his place!" laughed the first.
"Hm, okay… Well, if that's what we must do to maintain our business, I guess' there's not much we can do than that…" said the second.
"Yeah, I really don't like this but there's no choice, this guy is going to send us all bankrupt if he keeps selling stuff too cheap… It has become personal now, if I don't provide money, my family will starve…" sighed the third.
"Yeah, yeah, we all have our motives, now unpack your monster pets, let's get done with this!" said the first one.
The trio, which led another four more men with them quickly summoned their monsters' pets through jewels in their bracelets, which were called Monster Jewels, and had the power to store monster pets inside, turning them into pure elemental energy beings that can live in such jewels for prolonged periods of time without having to eat. As long as they were provided with mana, they could sustain themselves for a long while, actually.
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
Suddenly, a group of specters emerged, a trio of colorful floating jellyfishes with the size of a man and that had phantasmal presences within them, a group of dinosaur-looking ghosts the size of dogs, and a few other colorful beasts, including small skeletons with red-colored cores inside their ribs, rotting zombie crows shrouded in darkness, and even a flying log with owl-like wings and beak!
They were all aiming at ruining Frank's Monster Pet Nursery overnight so he couldn't properly sell to his customers anymore! And they even planned to plunder whatever he had inside.
"Now go!" said the leader, as the giant flying log flew towards the window and attempted to break it!
CRAAASH!
