Chapter 66: You're back. I've been waiting for you for quite a while (Part 1)

"In the last two months, what's been happening? Incidents are frequent. This is already the umpteenth time a building has been destroyed."

"Calling it destruction is being too cautious. It's plainly blasted into smithereens. The living probably don't fare much better than the dead—no homes, no cars, and no family left. How can they continue living after this?"

"As far as I know, this is the fourth time this month. What kind of force can blast several buildings like this? Didn't people living nearby hear anything?"

"I heard no one reported it. By the time they found out, it was already in this state."

"This is terrifying. Is it some kind of supernatural event? I'm worried; will it happen near my house next? We wouldn't even know how we'd die."

"I'm also worried. I feel like Big Apple City has been particularly uneasy lately."

...

Amalia passed by the scene of the night's events. Residents nearby gathered, and discussing the incident. The TV news no longer covered these events. Those living farther away remained unaware, otherwise it would causing widespread panic.

Amalia looked at the street that now resembled ruins. Ordinary people couldn't see it, but there remained a faint trace of spiritual energy on some collapsed walls and debris that gradually dissipating over time.

Had the Spirit Cultivator in this world had become so rampant?

Amalia furrowed her brows gently and walked away.

With accumulating word-of-mouth, more customers came to Amalia. As she arrived at her stall, several people were already in line.

The thin stall owner was trying to persuade an old customer. Amalia overheard the customer that was called Mr. Quentin, complaining.

"Lysandre, it's not that I don't want to have my artifacts repaired by you; it's just that you don't fix them properly. Last time I got it repaired by you, it broke again in less than a month. How can I trust you again after i experience that?"

"That's because your artifact itself has an issues. You frequently let your kids play with it at home. I've told you countless times, but you never listen. What can I do?" retorted the thin stall owner.

Mr. Quentin, upon hearing this, became displeased. "If you can't restore my artifact to its original state, who's to blame? Not bringing it to you for repairs is the right choice. Besides, what's wrong with letting kids play with it? Their strength isn't that much. It could be your poor repair job that caused the damage."

The thin stall owner turned pale with anger. He wasn't paid enough to fix it properly, and Mr. Quentin was reluctant to spend more, but how can he had the audacity to blame it to him.

As Mr. Quentin was the first in line, upon seeing Amalia, he immediately regained a smile. "Little Boss, you're finally here. This is the artifact I want to repair. Could you see if you can restore it to its original state?"

Amalia glanced at the thin stall owner, who exuded a sense of desolation.

Taking the artifact from Mr. Quentin, after a moment, Amalia said, "There are numerous issues with this artifact. It's not just damaged in battle; it's been intentionally damaged at least three times. The foundation of this artifact is almost entirely ruined. No matter how much it's repaired, it won't be the same as before. It's no longer suitable for combat but could be used as a toy."

Chapter 67: You're back. I've been waiting for you for quite a while (Part 2)

Mr. Quentin was taken aback, then his face turned dark with displeasure. Wasn't Amalia at odds with Lysandre? Helping him like this, yet speaking words that diminished his standing; what was her motive?

Almost all his dissatisfaction was visible on his face. He spoke in a very confrontational tone: "Little Boss, I come to you because I trusted you to fix my artifact. Are you incapable, is that why you're saying these things?"

"If you think I'm incapable, then you can take your artifact back," Amalia placed the artifact down.

"As a courtesy, I'll advise you: refrain from letting your kids play with the artifact. Otherwise, even the best artifact will get ruined if you use it for play."

Mr. Quentin, with a darkened expression, took back the artifact, coldly smiling at Amalia, "You're just incapable. I'll take it and go to another shop. Whether or not I let my kids play with it, it's none of your business."

"I certainly can't control that. The choice is yours," Amalia replied, glancing past him. "Next, please."

Mr. Quentin's face turned a mix of blue and pale, shooting a scowl at Amalia before storming off.

The second customer handed their artifact to Amalia, feeling apprehensive. After seeing the situation with the first customer, they were concerned that their own artifact might not be repairable.

.Luckily, the four words Amalia uttered afterward set their mind at ease. They didn't have the money to buy a second artifact.

"It can be fixed."

...

"Lysandre, how did it go?" The chubby stall owner looked smugly at the bewildered thin stall owner.

The thin stall owner immediately reined in his emotions and coolly replied, "What do you mean? I don't understand what you're talking about."

"It's because you're being two-faced that people misunderstand you," the chubby stall owner shook his head.

"That's just how I am. I don't need others' opinions," the thin stall owner replied, seemingly uncomfortable, and looking away.

"Actually, the Little Boss is pretty good, right?" the chubby stall owner added.

The thin stall owner grunted, "What's other people do is none my business. All I know is that she snatched my business."

"If you look at it from a different angle, although the business is gone, it doesn't mean there's no gain," the old stall owner suddenly interjected in his usual calm tone.

"Her epairing technique is unique. You must have notice it."

"Mr. Sanchez's right," the chubby stall owner chimed in cheerfully.

The thin stall owner's expression shifted slightly. Though he displayed displeasure upon discovering Amalia's genuine skill, deep down, he had secretly observed Amalia's repairs for others.

It was a completely different experience every time, giving him different insights. So, although they appeared to have suffered a loss and lost business, the reality was quite clear to him.

"What's the point? Without innate talent, no matter how hard you try, you'll revert to the original state," the thin stall owner's face turned somewhat darker, as if realizing something.

This time, the chubby stall owner refrained from further persuasion. Repeating the same old advice would be futile, so he simply patted the thin stall owner's shoulder, offering a bit of encouragement.

...

Amalia finished with the last customer as dusk settled in, closing her stall and preparing to leave.

She didn't want to encounter that strange man again today. So, on her way back, she took another long road and as she retraced her steps until entering the residential compound, relieved not to see him there.

"You're back. I've been waiting for you for quite a while,"

A man's cheerful voice echoed in the dark stairwell.
