Chapter 793: Beggar
Jayden looked towards the woman in front of him; he began to speak:
“Show me some of your best rings, bracelets, necklaces…”
As Jayden spoke, the eyes of the shop assistant shone with a bright light; she knew she was going to make a big profit now.
From Jayden’s appearance, his looks and clothes, and the way he spoke, it didn’t seem like he was someone who was here just to pass time, so the woman, who was in her thirties, was overjoyed at the large bonus she was going to get.
The other people working there looked at her enviously, and they could see how that woman kept giving Jayden hints and was trying to seduce him, but none of her actions were having any effect on him.
As Jayden began to choose the gifts, Zeus observed it all. He was accustomed to hearing praises and getting respect from everyone; after all, there are very few people who wouldn’t shake in front of him.
‘If these people were to know my identity, they would be prostrating themselves on the ground, hah these insignificant insects,’ Zeus thought, hiding his identity and waiting to see their response once they find it out.
He was already enjoying all this, especially the system which made him experience something absolutely new.
After watching Jayden for a few seconds, Zeus decided to start too as he moved his gaze forward.
None of the shop assistants wanted to interact with him; he actually looked like a thief, after all, and even the way he looked around seemed suspicious.
None of the shopkeepers wanted to let a customer of their stake under their watch, or they would also be held responsible for it, but he was still a customer, so after a minute or two, the shop assistant pushed a burly man forward.
“Boy, how can I help you?” The burly man stood tall in front of Zeus, trying to intimidate him, even though he didn’t look much older than Zeus’s fake identity.
“Show me some rings, the best you have.” Zeus said, his tone full of authority; after all, it is not ready to change in a few minutes.
“…” After looking at Zeus, the burly man turned around and brought a wooden box which looked quite cheap, and even the lock on it was broken.
Zeus glanced back at the boxes that were placed in front of Jayden; they all looked expensive. He felt rage building inside him since these mortals, who are lower than insects, were treating him in such a manner.
He could annihilate them all in an instant, but remembering Jayden’s words, he calmed his mind and decided to play along.
[Successfully endured the humiliation, you have obtained 5HP.]
Just then, a message popped in front of Zeus, and he was quite surprised by it.
All his killing intent disappeared in an instant, even though it was a little different, but it was as if he had actually become the protagonist of that story.
“Choose whichever you like from among them, they are the most expensive ones we have,” the burly shop assistant spoke after opening the box, which had a couple dozen rings inside it.
They all looked quite cheap and were probably made of bronze. This man was treating Zeus like a fool, with no respect at all, while even giving him threatening looks.
‘This is the first time that someone actually dares to act like this in front of me, for now I’ll wait and see how the end goes,’ Zeus thought.
He was waiting for the moment when his identity would be revealed and all these people would be shocked to their cores.
“I like this one.” Zeus touched one of the rings and sneakily pulled one of the rings and held it in his hand.
Unfortunately, even though the rings were cheap, all of them were tied with a thread to the box, so he couldn’t just take them away, and as Zeus pulled his hand back, he was caught immediately.
“Heh, I knew it, he was just here to steal something,” one of the female shop assistants said.
“Sigh, it’s good that we let the Bull handle it, or if he really stole something, we would have needed to pay for it with our money,” another man added.
“…” Zeus was speechless. He had never tried to steal things like this before, so he didn’t know how to do it properly, and now that he was actually caught at the first step, he didn’t know what to say.
Zeus looked towards Jayden, hoping to receive some help, but Jayden paid him no attention as he was busy buying one thing after another.
‘I have to resolve this on my own, this is but a small hurdle,’ Zeus thought and spoke:
“I am planning to just buy the entire box.” He was speaking as if nothing had happened while the burly man, named Bull, was looking at him with a big smirk.
“Boy, enough with your bullshit, you are going to pay for ruining my mood.”
Saying that, Bull raised his giant-like arms and placed both his palms over Zeus’s shoulder; then, with all his strength, he began to squeeze, planning to dislocate or break his bone.
‘What is he doing?’ Zeus just stared at him; this would not have any effect on him.
“Tch, so shameless, I can’t believe such a beggar really came here to steal, utter trash. We shouldn’t let such people enter the shop. Look, he is just so ugly.” The people around began to humiliate Zeus, passing all kinds of comments.
“Such people are worse than dogs; they should suffer for all their wrongdoings.”
“This bastard, I hope his wife runs away with someone else and his children turn out to be someone else’s.”
Even Jayden and Anna were surprised by the creativity of these insults. One after another, they all kept cursing him, as if Zeus had harmed them greatly; all the attention was focused on him right now.
[Successfully endured the humiliation, you have obtained 5HP.]

While Zeus’s attention was completely focused on these messages, they were the only thing stopping him from killing everyone right now.
“I think I should stop this for now, otherwise Zeus won’t be able to handle such insults, heh, he must be boiling inside.” Jayden thought, he stood up from his seat and walked towards the crowd that had surrounded Zeus.
“Stop, you bunch of idiots, do you even know who this person is?” Suddenly Jayden’s voice sounded from behind. All the people stopped shouting at once and gave way for him to walk.
All the people in the shop right now were already under Jayden’s control, which is why no one tried to hit Zeus. Otherwise, if people caught a thief like this, their first instinct would be to beat the shit out of that thief.
“Who is he? He looks like a beggar, and he even tried to steal a bronze ring just now.” one of the men spoke with a puzzled expression.
