Chapter 108

Bang!

The next moment, Humphrey flew out like the trajectory of a parabola and smash heavily on the ground.

“Fuck, how dare you hit me? Guys, come on!”

The two men behind Alvin came to their senses and punched at Locke’s nose. As expected, they were slapped away by Locke easily.

Originally, Locke didn’t want to participate in the conflicts between these forces. But he had no choice. Some people were too ignorant and came to make trouble for him.

Everything happened too fast. Looking at Alvin and the other two lying on the ground, Humphrey was a little stunned.

“Young man, why did you suddenly make a move?” Humphrey rubbed his hands and became a little flustered.

“A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. This young man is going to be miserable.”

“That’s right. How dare you fight in front of the Treasure Pavilion? Aren’t you making trouble for yourself?”

“Ha-ha, I didn’t expect to see a good show before I entered the Treasure Pavilion.”

The crowd whispered, and many of them even showed a look of schadenfreude. Sure enough, the guards in front of the square were quickly attracted by the sound here.

A middle-aged man who looked like a steward came over with his men.

Seeing the people from the Treasure Pavilion coming over, Humphrey sighed and said to Locke with a bitter smile, “Maybe we can’t enter the auction.”

“Sir, they actually hit us. Please uphold justice for us!”

Alvin cried when he saw the steward.

“Sir, they attacked us first. We were forced to defend ourselves.” Seeing that Alvin complained first, Humphrey explained immediately.

Looking at Alvin on the ground, the steward frowned. Then he looked at Locke and said in a low voice, “Sir, I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation.”

“The two want to cut in line, so I just kicked them out of the line.”

Locke glanced at Alvin and said casually.

This young man was so arrogant!

Seeing Locke’s casual look, the people next to him sighed in their hearts.

Contrary to the others, the middle-aged man was a little surprised. His ability to be a steward depended on his ability to observe people’s expressions. Judging from the temperament of the two people in front of him, he believed that they were definitely not ordinary people.

He must deal with this matter well by himself and never offend the two people in front of him.

Just as the middle-aged man was calculating, Locke took out the invitation from his pocket and threw it to him.

Seeing something flying over, the middle-aged man subconsciously reached out his hand to catch it.

When he saw the purple invitation, his face changed slightly. Then he opened the invitation carefully. When he saw the seal inside, he slightly bent his body and said respectfully, “Mr. Capet, and Miss Athena.”

The others were stunned and didn’t respond at all.

“That’s… a purple invitation!”

Someone shouted as he looked at the thing in the middle-aged man’s hand.

“Who are these two young men? How could they take out the purple invitation?”

Many people began to be curious about the identities of Locke and Athena.

On the other side, Alvin’s face turned pale when he saw the invitation in the middle-aged man’s hand. He knew he was in trouble.

Sure enough, pointing at Alvin and his men, the middle-aged man ordered the guards behind him, “Pull these three men into the black list of the Treasure Pavilion. Besides, throw them far away.”

After giving the order, the middle-aged man put on a respectful smile again. “Mr. Capet and Miss Athena, are you satisfied with this?”

Locke nodded. He didn’t want to waste his energy on someone like Alvin who was not even a supporting role.

Seeing that Locke didn’t pursue it anymore, the middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Please follow me, two distinguished guests.”

“Let’s go together.”

Locke turned to look at Humphrey who was completely shocked and said with a smile.

“I…”

Humphrey came back to his senses from shock. When he heard that Locke invited him, he was too excited to say anything. “Thank you, Mr. Capet!”

Under the envious gaze of the crowd, Humphrey followed Locke into the square.

Led by another maid, they three arrived at the auction soon.

Just like the auction of other Treasure Pavilions, the venue was divided into 3 floors. The top floor was a private room, the second floor was a booth with separate tables and chairs, and the bottom floor was a few seats that were like a cinema, leaning together.

However, although the setting of the venue was similar, it was three or four times more than that of Bone City. It was extremely luxurious and exquisite in all kinds of decorations.

“Mr. Capet, thank you for taking me in.” Humphrey said gratefully. He was observant after going through numerous hardships. It was a great honor for him to be brought in by Locke. He would never expect to enter a private room on the third floor with Locke.

Locke didn’t stop Humphrey from leaving.

“Locke.”

Locke looked around and found that Rosaline was walking towards them. Beside Rosaline, there was a fat middle-aged man.

“Count Grace and Miss Grace.” At the sight of the two, the maid bowed respectfully.

“This is Mr. Capet and Miss Athena, right? They are so young and promising with good temperament.” Count Grace said with a smile.

Was this girl a level-4 master?

While speaking, Count Grace looked at Athena carefully. Although he had heard from his daughter that Athena was extraordinary, he was still a little shocked when he really saw her. He had an illusion that Athena was more graceful than the children of the duke he had seen.

It seemed that she was born with this kind of temperament.

“Mr. Grace, I’m flattered.”

Locke said modestly with a smile on his face.

The maid stood aside. Although she kept a comfortable smile on her face, she was shocked. She didn’t expect that the two young people could be received by Mr. Count in person.

What were the identities of these two young men? She had worked in the Treasure Pavilion for a long time and knew all the famous people of Naton County, so she was sure that the two were not in this industry.

“If you have time, you two must come to our family. I will treat you well then.”

Count Grace said sincerely.

“OK, we will definitely come over then.”

Locke nodded with a smile.

“Then ask Rosaline to entertain you. I have something else to do.”

Count Grace was about to leave too. Although he attached great importance to his relationship with Locke, he still needed to receive many people from big families today.

“Let’s go. I’ll take you upstairs.”

Rosaline said to Locke and Athena with a smile when she saw that Count Grace left.

Locke and Athena followed Rosaline, and came to room 11.

The whole room looked quaint and elegant. On the top of the room was a candlestick chandelier. Facing the auction table, there were two chairs covered with mink fur.

After entering the private room, Rosaline asked the maid to bring a bottle of red wine and a few plates of desserts.

After everything was arranged, she left.

There were a total of 20 private rooms on the three floors, each of which represented a powerful force, especially the ones at the top. For example, room 1 was reserved for marquises, while the people of the Scilar Magic Academy were in room 2. Therefore, even if it was room 11, it was definitely a symbol of identity and status.

Looking down, Locke found that nearly half of the people on the bottom floor had been seated, and many people had come on the second floor.

About half an hour later, all the seats were finally full.
