The words ‘fifty million’ came from a handsome well built middle-aged man wearing a black robe in the VIP room beside Lyon’s room. He had a midnight black hair, with straight eyebrows and a clear black eyes. He didn’t bring any weapons with him, but there was an ugly clay art on his right hand which he held it dearly. The current people inside the auction didn’t know this person’s identity.

“Sixty Million.” said another VIP.

“Sixty-five million.” said another.

“One hundred million.” said the middle-aged man casually.

*woah

The guests were surprised to hear this kind of amount, this was a whole new record!

“One hundred and one million. Friend, this one is from the Phantera Kingdom please consider our face.” said one skinny old man with a white robe.

Hearing the Phantera Kingdom, Lyon and co had a surprised look. They didn’t know that a huge kingdom like Phantera would show up in this small town.

“Wow, never taught that we have a guest from the Phantera Kingdom.” said one of the guests below.

“I guess this special type spell really is important to a kingdom.” said a young man.

“Of course it is! If you can recollect the memory of the dead, you could fish out a traitor which is crucial to a kingdom’s survival.” reprimanded an experienced old man.

“One-fifty.” said the middle-aged man calmly.

It appeared that the middle-aged man didn’t give a f*ck about the Phantera Kingdom.

Noticing this, the skinny old man exploded out his aura to envelope the middle-aged man, but the middle-aged man didn’t even bat an eye.

*BOOM

He instantly released his aura to envelope the old man instead. It was so massive that the old man instantly prostate to the ground until it cracked. The whole people inside the auction also felt it. Especially Lyon and co since they were the closest one.

“He is strong.” said Kyoko.

“No doubt about that, I might have lost if he and I had a battle.” said Ryona.

The other three had a surprised look as this was the first time they met someone which Ryona acknowledge.

“He is probably as strong as Simak.” said Kyoko.

Then she activated her red-eye to check his heaven and world energy. “Looks like, strong is an understatement.”

There were massive energies swirling around him like a tide. There were five noticeable elements they were fire, dark, light, wind, and water. A very rare, five elements aptitude.

“C-congratulation to the VIP who obtained this wondrous spell. With that, the auction is now over, I personally thank you to all the guest who bears witness to this record-breaking moment.” said Fergal with a bow.

———————————-

The VIPs will have the things they bought delivered by the waiter or waitress. However, Fergal personally delivered Lyon’s item, which was a sphere-shaped object.

“Accounting the price of this item with the spells sir’s auctioned and the ten percent fee, you earned

one hundred forty-five million and eight hundred thousand golds.” said Fergal as he handed over a spatial ring to Lyon.

After checking the amount was correct, Lyon shook Fergal hand and got out of the room. Fergal only looked at the departing figures. He didn’t know that he just made a deal with someone that everybody wanted to kill the most later on.

———————————-

On the way back to the inn, three old men stopped their track. They were from the Nove sect.

“Friend, may we get a chance to get to know each other?” said the leader.

However, Lyon didn’t respond at all. The five of them just stood there looking at them. Nobody could tell what kind of expression they had behind the mask.

Seeing that the five of them didn’t respond he became sceptical and wryly smiled: “We three are from the Nove sect, and you are?

.

..

…

Still no response, the surrounding were looking at the three and chuckled. The three of them felt like an idiot.

As the three of them about to flare up, Lyon said: “State your business.” in a deep unrecognisable voice.

“Ah, we are wondering if the five of you want to join us for a tea.” said the leader with a slight bow.

.

.

.

(Who the f*ck ever invited someone to drink a tea at night!) thought Lyon.

“Are you, …. an idiot?” said Jugen.

Then the surrounding chuckled louder than before.

Lyon held the sphere item and showed it to them: “Is this what you are looking for?”

The eyes of the old men were filled with insane greed.

Lyon slowly moved the sphere to the right, and the eyes of the old men followed his movements. He moved it to the right, and they still followed it. He raised it up and still, the old men follow it.

*HAHAHAHA

After some time they finally realized that the surrounding people were laughing at them. Blinded with rage the jumped at Lyon attempting to kill him.

“You dare to humiliate me, DIE!” said the leader, in the end, they forgot to investigate about Lyon’s backing.

*flash

*slash

They halted their movements. The ‘in love’ masked person was already behind them.

*tap*tap

*tap*tap*tap

Then the five of them proceed to walk to the inn.

The three old men were still standing in their paused motion in the middle of the road. The onlookers were confused at just what happened, even experts couldn’t understand.

It wasn’t until a bird decides to perch on one of their shoulders.

*shreekk

*thud

Half of the body slid down diagonally with a thud. The experts were terrified, (what level must one have to be to be able to pull this off!) that’s what they were thinking.

One of the onlookers was Riku who still wore her bamboo hat. Apparently, she was late to see who did this and only came just in time to see the bird perch. (Could it be?!) then she touched the other two old men and the same thing happened. The slash was in the same spot even though their height were different. (No doubt about it, this slash, is as if the person forgot to die combined with the ‘One as if Three’ comprehension.)

Then she quickly asked the onlookers of the identity of the one who did this.

———————————-

Inside Jugen and Lyon’s room.

“Hey Jugen, bring me a wine will you, the wine from the inn is fine. Here use the money we earned.” said Lyon.

“Gotcha big brother.” said Jugen after he finished changing to his regular clothes.

*clank

After Jugen shut the door, Lyon smiled evilly: “Ah I always wanted to do this”

*zink

He let out all the golds inside the room which made it looked like there was a mini mountain of gold. Then he took off his mask and get naked.

“YAHOO!” then he jumped right into the mountain of golds.

———————————-

Inside the hallway of the inn.

*whistle *whistle

Jugen was whistling and walked slowly to the inn’s kitchen to get the wine. On the way there he saw a person wearing a bamboo hat running in his opposite direction. Jugen paused for a while and just ‘meh it ain’t my problem’.

*whistle *whistle

———————————-

*clink

*clink*clink

Lyon stood up again and face the mountain of gold.

“Alright, that was not as comfortable as I thought. Time to return them.”

*Zink

*Creak

*Boom

Just right after the money went back to the spatial ring, the door was opened by the bamboo hat person, she was Riku.

The scene was as ridiculous as you imagined.

Eyes wide, mouth agape, Riku was in stupor seeing that butt.

“Ah, I can’t explain.” Lyon chose to give up. ( Wait …. Why am I the one saying that?!)
