Path to Prosperity - B2 Chapter 52

Since the revelation of Percy’s identity several days had passed. It hadn’t always been easy, especially with his parents asking numerous questions…questions he didn’t have an answer to, but it worked out fine. He’d told them almost everything he knew while also sharing his worries. Tha...

“Have you heard the most recent news?” One of the servants in the royal palace looked at an older colleague, “The crown prince has returned from the dead.”

The old servant clicked his tongue, “He didn’t return from the dead. The crown prince was never dead.”

“You say t...

Percy was seated opposite Sophia and around the corner of the Queen, who smiled at him. But he was tense and uncomfortable. How could he feel comfortable eating with the royal family? 

The servants didn’t help him release the tension either. They treated him in an overly lovely manne...

Instead of proceeding to determine whether everyone’s doubts were valid or if it all was just a big mistake, the King chose to postpone the grand final to the next day.

“I think we have a lot to talk about,” Phillip Kain said to Paul Reeze in a severe tone. Paul agreed with a simple n...

The fist of an old man crashed heavily onto a heavy wooden desk, shaking it thoroughly.

“So the assassins did not only fail miserably, but you also lost track of him…only for him to appear in the royal forest? Are you fucking stupid?!?! How could you lose that kid? It’s not like he’...

Percy wasn’t sure what the conversation between the two women meant until he recalled something.

I was supposed to meet the queen this morning? Are they serious?

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, but none stuck and remained. They dispersed long before Percy could g...

“First, Percy decided to ignore the meeting and disappeared, and now the princess is missing as well. How could their maid lose Sophia? She isn’t that fast and never threw a tantrum. The little girl is responsible and knows not to worry anyone. So why now?” Paul Reeze cursed softly.

A young girl with long, silky black hair and azure eyes roaming through the royal forest without worries could only be the princess of the Kainesh Kingdom. 

That was unexpected, to say the least, but it wasn’t advantageous.

If she tells someone that I’ve entered the royal...

Escaping civilization and leaving behind all responsibilities, from time to time, worked wonders.

Percy slept like a stone. The tension left his body throughout the night as the nocturnal creatures opened their eyes. The creatures of the night weren’t silent and probably a threat to an un...

“It’s not my fault trouble is coming my way,” Percy murmured, but that didn’t help with Melissa’s deadly glare. If anything, Melissa looked like she considered killing him on the spot. That was…not good.

Percy hurriedly walked around the wooden counter and tried ignoring Melissa...

The brothers didn’t stay long in the Dragon Lair shop. They came early to talk to Percy and make sure that he was doing fine, but they had to leave for the morning training session.

The guard saved himself by putting all the blame on the Golden Koi. The Golden Koi was a medium-sized shop – the owner probably being the one who’d bribed the three guards and the ruffians – and its main establishment was two streets away from the Dragon Lair. 

The Golden Koi had...

The profit he’d raked was nice, but it felt even better to invest into his employees. Percy wasn’t sure why he felt like that, but the sensation of supporting Bert and helping the siblings did something to him. It allowed him to give back the help he’d received in Raewood and find a perfect...

Percy didn’t know much about Beastmen and the war between the Kainesh Kingdom and the Beastlands, but he’d heard that the king escorted the war slaves back to their homes if they wanted to return. That was also why one would rarely met pure-blooded Beastmen in the Kainesh Kingdom. Most Beastm...

The bulky Adventurer stumbled backward and landed on the ground with a loud thud. A pained groan escaped his lips while streams of blood poured from his nose.

Percy followed the Adventurer’s advice and slowly increased the prices of his goods. He didn’t go as far as to double the prices of the goods in his shop, but it was enough to notice.

The trio of Adventurers and others noticed the changed prices but didn’t say anything. Everyone livin...

Percy had two valuable runic rings to display as his main attractions. One Silvron Ring with [Enhanced Senses] and the Yvelton Ring with [Energy Shield]. The latter was more valuable and could probably be sold for a decent fortune. But even if they were valuable, an Elite Weapon Artifact was prob...

Hiring Bert was less problematic than expected. However, Bert felt like he owed Percy a lot for paying his loan.

Apparently, there was a lot to wish for.
