Kadyn looked at the new window that popped out in front of him and opened his mouth wide. He had no idea that he could see the status of his employees. Furthermore Elora had already awakened 9 healing stars—that was quite an eye-popping achievement in such a short time.

Though Kadyn knew that it was due to her practising inside the meditation room, as he had let her practice as much as she wanted, leaving only to brew potions or eat food.

As Kadyn was looking at the status window of Elora, another window flashed in front of her as well, that only she and Kadyn could see. Hicka had no idea about it. However in this screen Loyalty and Evaluation were missing.

Before she could ask anything about the screen that popped out of nowhere, Kadyn turned toward Hicka and passed him another scroll. "Take this and drop your blood. Read it before that if you want."

Hicka shook his head and said. "I believe that you won't harm me." After speaking, he dropped the blood on the scroll and it shattered and entered between Hicka's brows. However this time the mark wasn't golden like before but red that only Kadyn could see. He looked at the status of Hicka, and his expression froze.

"What is this, Boss?" Hicka exclaimed as he looked at the screen in front of him

"Oh, it's nothing." Kadyn smiled, and the window disappeared. "You need to spread the news that tomorrow there will be an auction and this time we won't sell soothing potion but other types of potions. There are several kinds—spread the news that one of them is strength type."

Hicka eyed Kadyn with an incredulous expression and said excitedly "Boss, are you really a potioneer or someone else is helping you? I mean, I never saw you brewing potions and you have already concocted a batch for an auction."

He didn't know that Elora could also brew potions, as Kadyn had never told him. He didn't want anyone to know about it, yet. It might bring quite some trouble for her.

"Well the shop was under construction, and I had nothing better to do, so I concocted potions," Kadyn said. "Alright, go and spread the news. You need to tell just this piece of information to a few people outside the shop and come back. Everything will be done."

"Would that really work?" Hicka asked confusedly.

Kadyn shook his head at his naïve expression and said. "Don't you think this street has become a lot lively lately?" he went on. "Who do you think are those people?"

Hicka opened his eyes wide and seemed to understand something. "They are here to keep an eye on the shop!"

"Good, now you understand," Kadyn said. "Just go spread the news."

Hicka nodded enthusiastically and dashed out of the shop. Kadyn looked at his back, deep in thought, and sighed before turning towards Elora. "Let's go, I'll show you the Library."

"Yes," Elora said excitedly and followed Kadyn from behind.

As Kadyn entered, he felt as if he had appeared inside another world. His heart calmed down and all the distractions he was feeling faded. The same thing happened with Elora. Both brother and sister exchanged glances, pleasantly surprised.

Kadyn glanced ahead of him and saw a huge hall. At the centre of the circular hall laid a vast round table, and over fifty plush chairs surrounded it. At one corner was another smaller and square-shaped table, a chair was placed behind, that seemed bigger than any chair in the Library—a plaque lying on the table and a word "Warden" was written on it.

The shape of the Library was like a hollow cylinder; the shelves laced along with the curved walls, standing one over another, touching the dome of the library. It was closed from every side, even the gate from which Kadyn and Elora entered was closed now. However there was no trace of gloom here. It looked just like a day.

Kadyn realised the Library was divided into two major sections—the first section was filled with elementary books and the other was for the Rank 1 books. Then Kadyn found that both sections were further divided into smaller sections like Potion Making, Artefact Making, Formation, Herbs, Physician, Poison, etc.

Elora spotted a potion-making section and dashed towards it and tried to take a book out of the shelf, but failed. Her hand passed through the book as it was an illusion. "Heh? Why can't I touch it?"

Kadyn's gaze fell on the number below that particular book—twenty. And just as he was about to reply, a notification window popped out in front of Elora.

[You need to pay with energy points to the warden or the owner before you could read the book]

Hmm, twenty is the price of reading this book. Kadyn thought.

Warden? Is that a Librarian?

"What is happening?" as Kadyn was lost in thinking, Elora's pitchy voice knocked his eardrum.

He eyed her and explained. "You are an employee now. You need to pay with Energy Points if you want to read books here."

"What are Energy Points?"

Kadyn explained and told her the purpose of the energy point. Only then, Elora nodded. "So how do I earn these energy points?"

"Hehe, tomorrow you'll know," Kadyn chuckled.

Elora pouted at Kadyn's stingy behaviour. He always acted like this in front of her. Not telling her anything.

Kadyn walked over and arrived in front of the spell section of the Elementary Rank. This section was further divided into different sections based on distinct elements. He disregarded all the elements and went to the fire section. He extended his hand and took the book out of the shelf.

"Huh? How can you touch the book?!" Elora, who was standing behind him, noted.

"Because I'm the owner of the shop."

"Then why don't you give me a few books to read?" she said with puppy eyes, looking at him expectantly.

Kadyn rolled his eyes at her behaviour and said. "Though I'm the owner, I can't give you books to read without energy points. I have to follow the rules. Tomorrow you will have enough points to read a single elementary book."

Actually he could spend some of his points or transfer some of his points to her to read the book, but Kadyn didn't want her to depend on him all the time. She needed to earn points like others.

"You and your shop, both are weird, perfect match to each other." She folded her hands in front of her chest dissatisfiedly, and taunted.

Kadyn smiled and once again started to search through the spellbooks. Though he wanted to give her a book, he could not, or it might affect her future.
