Chapter 367 Part 2: Central Auction
Central Auction,
Many people are gathering in the middle of the city. The place is now bustling with a crowd. Many wizards from all parts of the country came here for the auction. In particular, the powerhouses located in the Capital.
Right now, the guards are allowing the people to enter inside. But the powerful wizards are yet to come. Once they come they will be seated in a private spot to watch the auction.
Surprisingly, not one lower-level wizard can be seen on the street. All of them are level-5 or above. Even the guards standing at the front gate are level-5 wizards.
At some corner of this place. The Snake Wizard Ko observes the street. Some time ago, he received information from the green-haired wizard that there was no sign of Gilbert and Vincent in the academy.
Which shows that two of them already left the academy. Ever since that, he was waiting for their arrival. But there is no sign of them so far.
Then he walked toward the auction building to enter. To buy that blood, they have to come to this auction sooner or later.
After showing the pass, he stepped inside the building. Seats were arranged circularly before the auction stage. There is a balcony above for important people. They can watch the auction in private.
Soon he found his seat. Then he texted his men to standby. He brought a few of his clansmen to deal with that kid. As long as he can hold on to Gilbert Reese, he is sure that his men would be able to kill that kid.
His plans went smoothly so far. As long as he finishes his task by killing that kid, then his senior would provide him with a bloodline potion.
A wave of ecstasy rose in his heart thinking about it.
Meanwhile,
There is one other force that is also making its move. Dark league members Black and Bucky. Seeing the crowd pouring in, Bucky asked, "Do you think the auction building got enough seats?"
A quick glint flashes in Black's eyes. He glanced at the building before saying, "The building can accommodate more than 300 powerhouses easily."
Bucky's eyes flickered with complex glint. He asked, "What happened, why there is no response from the Senior."
"We came to the meeting spot in time," He added further.
Black frowned. Two of them wear normal mage robes with face masks. They are not the only ones who hide their identities. Most of the wizards participating in the auction don't want to reveal their identities.
This allows them to sneak in. Only on the auction day, the City guards were restrained. They don't dare to investigate boldly. It might offend some power users. Besides, the central auction management allows anyone to participate as long as they have resources to buy the auction items.
Black knitted his eyes in the morning. Since morning he has been getting a bad premonition. It's like there is going to be a storm. He knows that they are going to attack and kill Vincent if possible.
But somewhere in his heart. He knows that it's not that simple. The senior from the dark league might have another task apart from killing Vincent.
Suddenly a look of understanding dawned upon me. He guessed there might be certain auction items that attract the headquarters. The more he thinks about it the more it feels possible.
Suddenly, a silhouette came in their direction at a fast speed. Two of them felt something agitating inside their body. Bucky's face filled with a horrified expression. Black's face turned ugly as well.
It's a control technique of the dark league. Every dark league member is planted with seed to avoid dissent. Any higher member can suppress lower-level members.
Right now, two of them realized the person is one other than a Senior dark league member.
He is wearing a metal mask over his face and a plain mage robe to cover his body. His appearance didn't disturb the public. Only two of them are standing in panic.
"You two? Did you complete the task?" The person wearing a metal mask asked in a stern voice.
Black took a step forward and answered, "Senior the target is coming here as per the intelligence."
The person nodded his head. Then three of them entered the auction building. It was not hard for the dark league to collect information.
They left backhands and spies in several major families in the city. Most of their descendants are studying in three major academies. So it was easy for them to collect information about Vincent.
After entering inside, three of them found their seats. Black and Bucky, both have uneasiness in their hearts. They don't want to be reduced to cannon fodder.
Sitting, Black mustered up his courage to ask, "Senior, what should we do?"
Bucky panicked. But still perked up his ears to listen. The person wearing a metal mask remained silent before saying, "You guys have to transport auction items back to the hideout safely."
This time he did mental communication. No outsider can hear.
Black sighed in relief. As he had expected the senior came here for auction. But he doesn't know what attracts the organization.
Then Black asked," Senior, what about Gravity wizard Vincent Carey?"
"Trifling, level-3 wizard. If he comes here, then it will be his end. The auction item is more important than him,"the person wearing a metal mask said.
Black was shocked in his heart. An auction item is more important than a kill task. At this time he feels his bad premonition getting true.
Other powerhouses can know about the auction items. If it happens, then there will be a clash between the seniors and others in the end.
His face turned ugly. Then he glances at Bucky who is sitting clueless beside him.
The Snake Wizard also sat patiently. One by one the stars are getting filled slowly.
Suddenly, a wave of powerful aura swept over them. The wizards sitting under the balcony were caught off guard. Some of them withstood the pressure while a few fell to the ground.
"Ha...Ha...Ha..." A weird laughter rang out from Room No: 20.
Hearing that everyone looked above. Seeing that it's a private room. Everyone understands the person might be either a powerhouse or his descendant. Two of them might be possible.
So people sitting below didn't dare to make a sound.
"Harumph, the arrogance of the righteous faction, "The person wearing a metal mask mumbled under his breath. He made up his mind to smash the person in room no 20 if there is any quarrel breakout.
Black remained silent. He is quite used to seeing this scene. There is no shortage of arrogant bastards in this Capital City. Most of such people are young heirs or descend from major mage families.
He turned toward the room in curiosity. Their hideout has to submit a monthly report back to the headquarters. For every six months, the headquarters sends them a kill list.
They have to complete the kill list by any means possible. Looking at the 20th room, he doesn't know whether the person is the targeted one.
Time went on,
Almost all of the seats were filled below. Now the V.I.P. has to come. Everyone is staring at the upper floor. Apart from the 20th floor, they haven't heard a single word from the rest of the private room.
But people know it's impossible to pry the details of the private room. The person who came here was intentional. Most of the V.I.P. used to enter the private room silently.
The snake wizard Ko is waiting as well. He too knows it's impossible to spot them.
Suddenly,
Everyone saw someone entering the 10th room.
"Royal Force Wizard?" A few people recognized the golden mage robe.
The golden mage robe is the academy robe of the Royal Force Hall. What surprises the people most is that person dares to reveal his identity.
He is confident that no one will target the Royal Force Academy. Seeing so many people's faces turned bitter. Another arrogant person has arrived.
Now, the rest of the two academies are yet to arrive. So people quietly talk about them.
The Snake Wizard Ko hissed. He only saw the back of the person. He didn't know whether the wizard was from a young generation or a slightly older generation.
Meanwhile,
Black and Bucky looked at each other. Black feels the face looks a bit similar. He tries to recall but he couldn't remember.
The person wearing a metal mask saw the reaction. He asked, "What?"
Black replied, "It's related to a task."
"Don't do anything else today other than listen to my instructions," He sent the mental message.
Black's face turned ugly. He cursed in his heart. He knows it's not good to offend the Senior. So he simply forgets about doing anything else.
Shortly after,
Another silhouette entered, this was a muscular figure with a giant axe behind his back. He stepped inside the 11th room.
"The Weapon Palace," Another exclamation broke out below. Everyone recognized the Weapon Palace Symbol.
Two major academy wizards came, which leaves the Yellow River Academy.
