A Scam (Part 1)

17 Years Later, the twins' teenage years:

Both the girls, grew up to be very beautiful. 17 years old, yet both of them had become expert scammers, the reason, solely being their hard life on the streets, after their father passed away 13 years ago.

They weren't in an extreme need of money for food or anything, because even if they didn't eat for 5 days, they'd be all good and fine, the partial demon blood in their veins was their source of power, but those five days were a limit, their powers weren't awakened yet, so they did need food after 5 days. Mostly, they only wanted expensive clothes and a good place to live in.

Their cultivation powers could rival the peak lords of the famous mountain with 13 peaks, but they weren't trained professionally so their strengths were not that high for now.

The lord of the 13 peaks had opened the gates of the mountain to accept new disciples. They did so every 4 years so, you could either go there at a very young age or later, but younger the age, better the training. The teenagers of noble families were usually sent there to train. The reputation of the training in the mountain was on its peak. In a small town, full of gossipers, the news spread like the plague, and reached the ears of the twins. They really wanted to go to the peak!

"Jadie, I want to go there to raise my cultivation level!! please? I want to become strong and beat up those people who've wronged us! Pretty please?" said menacy, acting all cute to convince her sister.

Jade saw how her sister was desperate to go so she smiled and said "Alright, but only if you behave. What about the travelling costs? You do know that it takes 5 days to go there on foot, and 2 days on a horse, don't you?"

"Yes, jadie"

"I'm fine with walking, but will your lazy *** be able to handle it?"

"Of course not!! We're going to earn some money today."

menacy winked. Jade had a poker face but after seeing her wink, her face went from red to green to various spectrums of colors before returning back to normal.

As they walked, Menacy was thinking about something and smiled to herself. Jade saw that and asked her, "So, how are we going to earn the money? Money doesn't grow on trees like mangoes, We need to think of something."

"Hey Jadie, come on, don't you know that your cute lil sister always has some ways to do that?"

Menacy winked. Again. This time it didn't affect Jade's expression much but that didn't mean she didn't cringe in her mind.

As they were walking, They reached the corners of a bustling market. Hustle bustle, here and there. It was a noisy market, a very noisy one. Some were bargaining peacefully, some were yelling, some actually fighting, accusing others of theft and what not.

Menacy had thought of a perfect scam for the over smart and the dumb people of this market. She was looking for a man who would suit this type of preference. The 'dumb and greedy' preference.

Jade was walking slowly right behind her sister. Menacy suddenly stopped in front of a store. They hadn't seen this store before, which means its a new one. A new store, means a need of customers, treating their first customers like gods and a need of a lot of earning.

The merchant sitting inside, in a small cabin was a short man, with a fat belly. He was wearing a gold chain around his neck. It was a jewellery shop.

Menacy was already dressed in an elegant dress, looking like she was from a noble family, While Jade wore a simple dress. So the merchant stood up from his place and came out to welcome them with a smile that was probably fake.
