Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
While Vincent was strolling around on the first floor, the guards at the auction house were already busy in the dark. They found all the information on Vincent in an instant.
After all, Vincent had just arrived at the Inn recently so it was very easy to track where he went. There were witnesses to everything he did, so they were able to obtain information on Vincent very quickly.
The two guard leaders looked at the paper in their hands on the second floor. There were only a few lines on the piece of paper. However, they had covered all of Vincent’s feats at the Inn. The two guard leaders, who had seen many big scenes, could not help but break out in cold sweat.
One of the guard leaders said with a serious expression, “If this person wants to cause trouble, then the matter will really blow up. It is far from what the two of us can handle. It is better to go directly to the boss!”
The other guard leader nodded decisively and said, “Wait here. I will immediately go and ask the boss to come!” He then turned around and left.
Not long after, he came back with a middle-aged creature who was dressed in luxurious clothes. His eyes were sharp, and his entire body was emitting a star-like radiance.
The middle-aged creature walked over to the staircase and asked with a gloomy expression, “Who dares to cause trouble in our Star Race’s auction house?” His tone was full of arrogance and fearlessness.
The two guard leaders quickly lowered their heads in a guilty manner. They pointed at Vincent’s back and said, “It’s that person. He just came to the Inn today and has done a series of big things. We don’t think we can handle him. Only you can make the decision, boss!”
They then handed the piece of paper that recorded Vincent’s movements over to the middle-aged creature.
The middle-aged creature first glanced at the contents of the paper. His eyes soon widened and he could not take his eyes off it for a long time.
The middle-aged creature sighed in shock and fear, “He first killed the members of the Meteor a.s.sociation. After that, he killed the Meteor a.s.sociation’s President Herman on the street and join the Wanderers a.s.sociation. He then immediately issued a secret mission, and the secret mission was personally arranged by Charlie. What is the ident.i.ty of this person? What does he want to do at the Inn?”
How could the two guard leaders see through Vincent’s true intentions? They could only shake their heads helplessly in response.
When the middle-aged creature saw their reactions, he could only look at Vincent again as if he wanted to find out more clues from him. Even if there were only a tiny hint, it may help him to make a more accurate judgment.
Vincent, who was on the first floor, who had turned his body slightly, was still holding the bright dragon egg in his hand.
When the middle-aged creature on the second floor saw this, he felt his legs go weak, and he almost knelt on the ground. Fortunately, the two guard leaders supported him in time, so he did not make a fool of himself.
The middle-aged creature asked in astonishment, “What, what is he holding in his hand?”
The two guard leaders did not recognize the dragon egg in Vincent’s hand. After thinking for a while, they answered, “According to the intelligence, after leaving the Wanderers a.s.sociation, this person went to the trading market first and stayed there for a while before coming to the auction house. The thing in his hand must be the material he found in the trading market!”
After hearing this, the middle-aged creature reached out his hands and grabbed the collars of the two guard leaders. He said in a deep voice, “Bought at the market? Since when does the Inn market sell dragon eggs? That’s something that even our Star Race doesn’t dare to touch! Do you know that harming the Dragon Race’s offspring is equivalent to declaring war on the entire Dragon Race? Why does this person have the right to stay in our auction house without fear?”
The two guard leaders subconsciously guessed, “Perhaps he doesn’t care about the Dragon Race’s revenge because of his strength?”
The middle-aged creature took a deep breath and calmed his mind. He then said, “Our Star Race branch at the Inn, whether in terms of performance or strength, has been suppressed by Manfred of the capital of Ultimate Evil. If we get into big trouble, the headquarters will never help us, and we might even be reprimanded for it! But if we can handle this person, we might be able to obtain a big client. By then, not only will our entire branch be recognized, but our status in the Star Race’s headquarters might also increase as well!”
“Boss is wise!”
The two guard leaders did not understand what the middle-aged creature was saying at all, but they knew that they always had to praise their boss.
The middle-aged creature was very pleased and nodded. He loosened the collars of the two guard leaders and said, “Invite that person to the secret room on the second floor. I want to meet him personally!”
“Yes!”
The two guard leaders immediately followed the order and hurried downstairs to find Vincent in the crowd. They then proposed the boss’s invitation to him.
Vincent was not surprised at all to receive the invitation. He smiled and said, “You’ve finally appeared! Hurry up and bring me to your leader!”
The two guard leaders looked at each other with blank faces. They were full of surprise at Vincent’s reaction, but they could only do as they were told.
Vincent soon arrived on the second floor and walked into a secret room hidden behind the wall.
In the secret room, the middle-aged creature had changed into a suit and was waiting for Vincent with a smile on his face.
The middle-aged creature grabbed Vincent’s hand and greeted him with a smile, “The distinguished guest has arrived. Please forgive me for not welcoming you earlier! I am the owner of this auction house. Just call me Hans or Ursa Minor!”
Vincent could not help but show a little surprise. He then asked with a smile, “Sir, are you from the Star Race? I wonder what is your relations.h.i.+p with Manfred?”
Hans’s expression instantly became ugly. He asked with a reluctant expression, “Manfred is only my kin. Since you know him, do you have any business dealings with him?”
When Vincent saw this, he instantly knew that Hans and Manfred did not have a good relations.h.i.+p, so he took the opportunity to say, “I have some grudges with Manfred, so I don’t want to communicate with anyone related to him!”
When Hans heard this, he immediately said with joy, “Great! Manfred and I have an irreconcilable feud. If it wasn’t for the fact that we are of the same race, I would have long wanted to kill him!”
Vincent and Hans seemed to have found a common interest. After cursing Manfred together, they instantly grew closer.
However, Vincent knew that Manfred was already dead, so he became even more unscrupulous.
Meanwhile, Hans did not know what happened in the capital of Ultimate Evil. He was afraid that his conversation with Vincent would one day spread to the public so he was a little more reserved with his words. However, this did not prevent him from successfully establis.h.i.+ng a friends.h.i.+p with Vincent in a short period.
Hans suddenly changed the topic and asked Vincent about his purpose for coming to the auction house.
“Sir, you came to my auction house today with a treasure in your hands. I wonder if you have taken a fancy to something? Or if you are looking for some treasure?”
Vincent smiled slightly and said, “Initially, I just wanted to see the auction house at the Inn. I did not expect to be shocked by the rich collection on the first floor. I wanted to buy some, but unfortunately, I do not have enough red crystals on me, so I was hesitant but did not want to leave at the same time!”
After hearing what Vincent said, Hans immediately took the initiative and said, “That’s simple. I can set a temporary quota for you. As long as you have a valuable item to use as collateral, you can spend as much as you want here!”
Vincent immediately smiled and handed the dragon egg in his hand to Hans. He asked softly, “In that case, I wonder if you are interested in this?”
