Watching his store entrance swinging open like that, the shop owner was angered as he said, "Who dares open my door like that!!' Looking at the teen in front of him, the man recognized him as he spoke in a confused and aggressive tone saying, "Hey, I know you... You're that kid... that kid..."
He snapped his fingers as he tried his hardest to remember, till suddenly he had an "Aha" Look before saying, "You're that kid that claims to be the Primal God!" But before he could delve deeper into that he remembered something else before saying, "Oooooh, you're also that kid that tried buying my Jade and Onyx stone bracelet for five coppers! Dirty bastard!!" His demeanour shifting from amusement to anger as he progressed along his words.
'To think that bastard tried to buy my bracelet for five coppers, when the actual price was ten times that!! Fuck, just thinking about it is pissing me off!!!' He held. Nasty look on his face as he stared at the teen, not caring for the offense. But the longer he started the more he thought the main character was there to do something outlandish!
Another thing he had noticed was how the teen seemed to have changed. Both physically and wardrobe wise, the teen had shown great improvements. 'Hopefully he has improved his distasteful character as well...' but that thought was put on hold when the main character said, "Do you remember what I told you the last time we met?"
The man's face scrunched up in confusion as he asked, "Wtf are you talking about?? Listen, if you aren't here to buy something you better get out off my shop!!"
The main character wasn't too pleased hearing this as he clicked his tongue before coldly responding, "Wrong... The last time we met was When you tried to extort me fifty gold coins for something that was obviously worth only five, I told you that if you didn't cut down your prices, I would cut down your lineage... And so I have come to fulfill my promise." Hearing that, the shop owner felt a chill down his spine and an uncomfortable sensation in his little brother.
His throat chocked up as he fearfully asked, "Wha-What do you plan on doing?! I'm warning you, you better not try anything funny!! Or else you'll face the consequence!!! I'm warning you!!!"
He had obviously overlooked the error in the mc's words, 50 gold coins??? They were in the slums!!! No one had cash like that.!!
Unfortunately for the man, his words seemed to have the opposite effect on the main character, as he expressed a sneer before arrogantly saying, "Consequence? CONSEQUENCE?!!!!! DO YOU THINK I'M SCARED OF YOUR MORTAL CONSEQUENCES?! CONSEQUENCE?!! I AM THE PRIMAL GOD!!! WHATEVER I SAY IS TRUTH AND ALL THOSE WHO DARE TO OPPOSE ME ARE FOOLS WHOSE LIVES BECAME FORFEIT!!!"
As he said that, he had unintentionally infused some of his godly essence into his words causing them to inflict fear into the poor shop owner, causing him to be frozen stiff;0 scared that if he were to say or do anything out of line, his life would come to an unfortunate end.
Thankfully, his fearful reaction seemed to quell the main character's anger, causing him to let out a long sigh in hops of calming down.
'I'm not angry at the shop owner, I am angry at the sudden appearance of the Accidental God and that other nuisance... I shouldn't redirect my anger at those who don't deserve it...'
Thinking this far, the main character finally calmed down, his train of thought surprising both [Author] and [Reader] as they never thought [BOB.C] would mature into a bearable person.

[Author]: I'm so proud of how far u've come*teary eyes*
[Reader]: Ifkr, who could have imagined that this little rascal would turnout so well.
[Author]: Ah, they grow up so fast...
[BOB.C]: The fuck y'all talking about?!
[Reader]: Oh, this must also be a first for you... The character trait you just displayed is categorized as good... which is surprising when coming from you.
[BOB.C]: Oh so, just because I'm so cool and powerful, you think I lack humility and humbleness? That's like racial profiling!
[Reader]: That's nothing like racial profiling!! Do you even know what that means???
[Author]: Obviously, he doesn't and before he spouts any more bullshit, lemme get back to the story.
[Reader]: Agreed.

Having calmed down, the main character directed his attention back at the shop owner. 'Cut his lineage huh...' Thinking of how he could accomplish such a feat, the main character felt a bit frustrated. 'How am I going to even go about it? Should I even do it? I mean I've had enough villainy for a single day... don't want to over do it and get bored of it...'
What he had said seemed to have made sense to him as the main character laughed out loud before saying, "Seems like this is your lucky day old man, I'll torment you some other time...', after saying that, he turned around before leaving the store as if he hadn't came there to showcase the antics of a true villain.
Seeing the teen walk out as if nothing had occurred, the shop owner took a few minutes to calm himself, albeit his knees were still wobbly. 'I think I escaped a calamity??' He thought as he thought of the fear inducing words the MC had said! He truly felt that he was about to be bathed in the fury of a god!! Shacking off his thoughts, he hurriedly closed down his shop, ready to get to somewhere safe as the main character had said he would torment him some other time.
'I'll return in a week or two...'
Quickly locking up, he ran in the opposite direction from where the main character had walked in, making ultra sure they wouldn't meet by accident. Running till his wobbly legs gave out, the shop owner sat down on a nearby bench, trying to catch his breath. The people that saw him panting like a dog were apprehensive of him, making sure to keep a slight distance between them and him whenever they walked past the bench he was on.
'Oi, oil, oi, I'm not some escaped criminal or something so what's with the looks???'
Noticing that the looks didn't go away, he let out a depressed sigh before thinking, 'This must be what those wrongfully convicted people feel like... I don't like it, I don't like it a lot'*Jim Carry reference* But being disregarded to the side-lines had their advantages as he was able to hear the fleeting words of people's conversations. For example, from the right, a small boy was handheld by his youthful mother as he explained to her a story in great detail.
"The when the boy came out there was a HUUUUGE explosion like this, *inacting an explosion with his hands before being held by his mother's hand again*, He was soooo cool!!! Then-then the old guy started crying then laughing but he wasn't sad, he was happy!!!!!! Wow mom, you really should have seen it!!"
The mother smiled awkwardly as she said, "It seems like I missed quite the show..." She was awkward due to the fact that she too had been there, right next to the boy, holding his hand, whilst all that had happened... 'I guess kids will be kids???' She chalked it up to that, with the backdrop thought of maybe the event was so cool for him he had to relive it...
When the kid finished his story, the shop owner was surprised as he thought, 'Seems like I wasn't the only one who had experienced crazy things today... ' His thoughts were then interrupted when he heard the enthusiastic discussion of two passing youngsters. "Man you saw him right??? He really exploded Old Zou's bakery dropped a pouch filled with cold coins and walked away like a total badass!!!"
His friend hearing this was as equally enthusiastic as he said, "I fucking know right!! I also heard that he had crippled a bunch of people before throwing handfuls of gold coins at them!!! Fuck!!! I wanna be rich like that so bad! Just throwing money at all my problems!!!"
"Yea, yea, I heard about that... where do you think he got the money from though? Might he be the core disciple of his Sect or something? But I doubt that they'd just hand out that much money as allowance... of course, this might also be the limitations of a mindset that was brought up in poverty..."
.

Having heard that, the shop owner was as stiff as a statue, it was as if their words had bound him to that bench, imprisoning him to an eternal life of sitting on a bench. Overwhelmed by emotion, he somehow struggled to move before so suddenly appeared in front of the two youngsters, asking in a crazed manner, "HIS SECT UNIFORM, WHAT DID IT LOOK LIKE!!!"
The two boys were to stunned to speak which was unfortunate for them as it prompted the unhinged man to grab one by his shoulders before shacking the fear(and some pee) out of the him.
"WHAT DID IT LOOK LIKE!" The man asked again. This time, the boy answered in a heartbeat saying, "The robe was white in color, its back was decorated with red dragon scales arranged in a way that seemed to picture a lotus flower. The tips of the eight lotus petals were decorated with embroidering of a serpentine dragon that chased after its tail. At the centre of the lotus was also another serpentine dragon that chased after its tail, and the rest of the robe was decorated with golden outlines of clouds."
The shop keeper hearing this was shocked beyond compare as he stumbled back, barely keeping his balance. 'NO, NO, NO!!!!!!!!!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE I SENT HIM BACK BEFORE HE THREW MONEY AT ME!!!! FUUUUCK!!! FUCK, FUCK, SHIT!!!!'
