I Sell Bottled Water for Gold in Another World!

"BOOM!" Thunder crashed overhead in the sky that is slowly began to darken with thick clouds.

"CRASH!" The sound of intensifying rain slowly filled the surroundings.

Lightning too began to flash brightly across the sky!

The wind too began to pick up its force as it began to gain speed.

With wind came the rain which begin to fall much harder than the slow drizzle it was in the beginning.

The light drizzle slowly began to turn into heavy downpour that didn't seem that it might stop soon.

The light drizzle slowly transformed into moderate rain, then heavy rain.

"The rain is getting heavier and heavier!" Magistrate Sai and Sheriff Bowen looked at each other with expressions of shock plastered over their faces.

Huge waves of astonishment surged through their hearts and minds.

And why not, because in their opinion while they have expectations of the rain but not of this massive magnitude.

"Could this Young Master Alex actually be some kind of deity or immortal being?" one soldier wondered aloud with awe.

"Otherwise how can he truly summon rain and thunder from clear skies?!"

The soldiers could not help swallowing nervously with amazement at this miracle with their eyes.

Just moments ago, they had witnessed with their own eyes or more precisely heard hundreds of tremendous explosive sounds emanating from the Hartwell family estate.

Then they saw bursts of muffled thunder been heard rumbling across the sky.

Immediately afterward, powerful wind and heavy rain had arrived!

But the dramatic weather changes were not finished yet!

"BOOM!" Thunder crashed even louder.

"BOOM!" More thunder followed in rapid succession.

"Tap! Tap! Tap!" The sound of torrential rain intensified.

"WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!" Wind howled through the compound.

Before anyone could speak another word, sudden thunder exploded across the sky.

Heavy rain began pouring down from above like a massive waterfall descending from the heavens!

"Be careful and protect the County Magistrate!" Sheriff Bowen shouted urgently.

The wind had grown so tremendously strong and the rain so incredibly intense that tree branches throughout the courtyard were being broken and torn from their trunks.

The soldier roared a warning and rushed forward, kicking away a large falling branch that threatened to strike the magistrate.

Seeing that conditions had become genuinely dangerous, the county magistrate and sheriff hurriedly ran toward the covered eaves to shelter themselves from the torrential downpour.

"I did not expect the rain to become so heavy and intense. In the more than ten years I have served as county magistrate, I have never witnessed such a tremendous downpour in my entire career," Magistrate Sai admitted with amazement.

"That Young Master Alex is truly incredible beyond description."

"It is amazing that he could summon this kind of torrential rain and thunderstorm."

Standing under the protective eaves and observing the torrential rain and the dramatic thunder and lightning before them, Sheriff Bowen was overwhelmed with shock and wonder.

"After this heavy rainstorm passes, I will immediately go to personally pay a respectful visit to this Young Master Alex! This extraordinary individual possesses remarkable supernatural abilities.

When such a miraculous event occurring, I must also submit an official report about this person directly to the Emperor himself."

Magistrate Sai took a deep breath.

While he felt tremendous shock, he also suddenly experienced a sensation of profound unease and trepidation.

I did not expect that such a strange and gifted person could exist in this world.

He can summon thunder and rain from the heavens willingly!

Could it be that this person is actually the reincarnation of an immortal being?

Throughout Ironhold City,

Heavy rain and thunder enveloped the entire city of Ironhold.

All the common people throughout the city began to became restless.

"It is raining so incredibly hard!!!" voices cried out everywhere.

"This torrential downpour!! Am I experiencing hallucinations or God have finally listened our prayers?"

"Heavy rain! It is finally raining heavily in Ironhold! Hahahaha, the heavens have blessed our city at last!"

"It is not heavens blessing at all! This is the doing of Young Master Alex because it was he who prayed for rain and delivered it to us!"

"Really, I did not expect him to actually succeed in his rain prayer! The rainfall is so heavy and so rich! We can plant crops and harvest food this year!"

"Haha! Young Master Alex is truly our city's greatest benefactor! Honestly, if it were not for his miraculous intervention, our city would not know how many more years the drought would have to continue."

"Yes, indeed! If the drought had continued for several more years, I fear Ironhold would have become a completely dead city with no living inhabitants remaining."

"Young Master Alex deserves monuments and temples erected in his honor!!"

The entire city erupted into chaos and celebration due to this happy event.

Whether in the temples or throughout the streets and marketplaces, voices of shock and absolute ecstasy resounded in every corner of Ironhold.

Everyone knew and understood that it was Young Master Alex with the virtue of whom they had successfully gained the rain!

------------

Hartwell Family Estate

"These metal devices can actually pray for rain and summon storms!!" Nathan exclaimed with great surprise.

Seeing the heavy rain and dramatic thunder in the sky he was absolutely astounded beyond measure.

Not only Nathan, but also Lucy, Mr. Hartwell, and those dozens of Viper Syndicate members they were all shocked to the core and speechless.

They could only stood dumbfounded by what they had witnessed.

"This is far too much," Alex muttered to himself after reviewing the rainfall calculations in his mind.

His face showed an expression of concern and worry.

It is over.

There are far too many rainfall bombs that were deployed this time.

Oh God, please don't make it turn into a flood.

Normally speaking, for an urban area as large as Ironhold, approximately fifty rainfall bombs would have been entirely sufficient to cure the Ironhold City condition.

But he had deployed one thousand of them instead!!

That was twenty times the necessary amount!

I may have slightly overdone this demonstration, Alex thought with growing unease as thunder crashed overhead and rain pounded the courtyard.

--------------

"I should have not forgotten to read the operational instructions carefully beforehand," Alex muttered under his breath with growing concern as even after thirty minutes the rain showed no signs of slowing down at all.

Ironhold was only approximately one-third the size of Mumbai.

According to the technical instructions that came with the manual at the magnitude at which I have fired it will rain for atleast twenty days.

"After twenty days of continuous thunder and heavy rain, will Ironhold be able to prevent this catastrophic flooding, I could not help but wonder?"

According to his understanding, many ancient cities possessed sophisticated drainage systems with underground canals specifically designed to prevent flooding during heavy rain but he didn't know if that could prevent it this time.

Never mind. Whatever happens, happens.

If flooding occurs, then flooding occurs.

Floods could not kill people nearly as easily as drought is doing earlier.

Drought was truly deadly for them and had already claimed thousands of lives.

Alex decided not to overthink the situation any further and simply accepted whatever consequences would follow it.

Rain was infinitely better than no rain at all.

Besides, Ironhold had been suffering from severe drought for three consecutive years. What harm could come from slightly excessive rainfall?

"Boss!" Nathan exclaimed, rushing toward him after arranging all the equipments in the warehouse again.

"You are so incredibly Boss! These metal devices can actually make rain fall from clear skies!"

"The county magistrate invited so many supposedly to be experienced people to pray for rain over the years, but none of them could accomplish it Boss.

I think those so-called miracle priests are not even good and as powerful as you and your collection of divine weapons."

"Boss is truly blessed by divine powers."

Nathan look at him with absolute admiration and hero worship.

It was not just Nathan who felt this way.

The fifty Viper Syndicate members who have yet not dispersed also felt overwhelming excitement, gazing at Alex with expressions of great admiration and respect.

Many of them did not even bother taking shelter under the Hartwell family estate buildings.

Instead, they remained standing in the open courtyard, allowing the heavy rain to drench them completely.

They raised their heads upward and opened their mouths wide to catch the falling raindrops.

After all there had been severe drought for three consecutive years!

They were far too excited to care about getting wet!

On ordinary days, being able to drink even a small amount of water was considered an extreme luxury.

It was nothing like this moment when they could play freely in the water and rain without any concern for scarcity.

"Could it be that Big Boss is actually the reincarnation of some immortal being? He can even pray for rain and command the heavens!" one Viper Syndicate member whispered to another.

"I think that must be the truth!"

"Being able to join the Viper Syndicate and serve under such a remarkable leader means our future path will be infinitely smooth."

"That is absolutely correct!"
