Chapter 96: Confrontation (I)

"Truly befitting of the Scarlet Family to host this annual auction house," Zen said in admiration for such a magnificent building.

Evie became a bit amused by the behavior Zen showed. 'Such a bumpkin country brat, to be this amazed on this kind of building.'

Although the building is extremely tall with the interior larger than a theatre that could fill a crowd of over 1000 people, it was nothing special in her eyes.

The building her family-owned exceeds this area by many times that it cannot even be calculated.

Meanwhile, Angela starts to ask in concern, "Such a long line of people, would we even be able to enter inside on time?"

The line was so far away that it took a long time before Zen could detect the end with his spiritual sense.

However, he wasn't afraid of not being able to enter since there is something called privilege, in other words, VIP treatment.

"You don't seem to worry at all, Zen," Evie said mischievously when she saw the calm composure of Zen.

"Why would I be worried? You are one amazing woman and I'm pretty sure someone from inside will soon come out to greet you with extreme respect." Zen said as he started stretching his body a bit.

'Waking up early in the morning after our session is really starting to make me tired.' Zen sighed inwardly.

"Hmm, they should arrive soon." Evie smiled as she waited for a good show that's coming up.

"Who is arriving soon?" Angela asked straight away since she is still a bit cautious about Evie.

"Angela, I really wonder what happened to that beautiful acting of yours. Now, you're just asking dumb questions." Zen intervenes and stares at Angela.

"Hmph, I'm not like you who is confident in doing anything even if it means crossing some line. I'm just a bit above average in terms of power that's trying to cure my mother." Angela pouted in displeasure.

She was a mage rank 6 which is better than most people but in places like the Jade Kingdom, rank 6 is pretty common and nothing special.

There were multiple people in the rank 9 with some others even transcended to a new mage rank. One that is relatively unknown to the common people since their knowledge of mages rank is only 1-9.

The more powerful and influential people knew that wasn't the limit. The mage rank 1-9 that the common people knew was labeled as beginner mage. 

With the next tier as an intermediate mage, followed by an advanced mage. There's even more rank but none has reached that level yet.

"Alright, I'm just teasing you Angela and you don't have to be ashamed of yourself for being a rank 6 mage. After all, I don't even know what level I am now." Zen said cheekily.

His cultivation was even more abnormal and difficult to comprehend. 

He was a mage in the beginning but then changed to a true qi cultivator. Afterward, there were many twists and turns, that he, as a true qi cultivator can still utilize magic like a mage.

"You are just an irregular and odd human. Now would you tell me who is arriving soon for this Madam Evie to be looking forward to?" Angela didn't linger around this topic and return to her original concern.

Zen ponders a while and decides to be honest with her. She was going to know the truth later on when they would meet very soon.

"You may not have seen his face but you know him very well. His name is Daemon Kaiso." Zen said calmly to respond to Angela's glare.

Hearing Daemon Kaiso's name, Angela became pale and before she could start panicking, Zen held her hand.

"Calm down, did you forget who I have in my hand? I dare him to try and do something funny against me." Zen said to ease her mood.

Angela relaxed a bit and she tried to open her mouth to speak. Someone that they have been waiting for arrived in front of them.

"STINKY BRAT"

It was none other than Daemon Kaiso who has searched the entire kingdom using his faction to search the whereabouts of his son, Jared Kaiso.

Alas, it was a futile effort and when he received information about the unknown man appearing in the annual auction house, he rushed over here in rage.

He was going to attend this auction house since there were many valuables that cannot be found anywhere and the imperial family would also send someone to attend.

It was the perfect opportunity to gain some favor and interact with other nobles, but now the culprit still openly dares to show up in his footsteps.

How could he accept this after the humiliation from Evie's outburst?

"You must be Daemon Kaiso. My goodness, it wasn't a lie when people say not to talk about a certain person in daylight because they would appear right away. Wait a minute… were you stalking me as my admirer?" Zen said loudly and the people lining up were shocked.

Even the people in the streets and a woman who just walked outside from the auction house to receive Evie became pale. 

A crowded and lively street full of noises turned dead silence in this instant. If a mosquito was to pass by then everyone could hear the buzzing noise.

A few moments later, someone started laughing aloud and everyone started to turn their head to see the source.

"Who dares to fucking laugh at me?" Daemon Kaiso roared since he has long lost his reasoning thanks to Zen's comedic reply.

The next moment though, he regrets roaring out because the person laughing nonstop was Evie.

"You got a problem with me laughing at such a witty and awesome reply." Evie raised her eyebrow slightly in displeasure.

"Tch," Daemon Kaiso didn't even try to bother her anymore and focused his attention back on Zen.

'Seems like I've underestimated the identity of Evie. For this arrogant prick to be afraid of her status and not even dare to utter a word of nonsense.' Zen smiled inwardly when he got some good information.
