After those words, the atmosphere grew a few degrees colder. Everyone felt a swear trickle down their face as they looked at Lein who was now looking down, hiding her expression from everyone. They all had the same idea.
? 'This person is so dead.'
After such a threat from a clearly powerful person, the person still dared to outbid her without caring about the consequences. Now, not only will he be in a huge problem, but the others could be pulled into it.
But, much to their surprise, Lein didn't do anything and just sat down again with her face still looking down.
She then muttered something to the old man who was still standing like a statue on the stage.
"Continue the bidding."
"W-What?"
"I SAID CONTINUE THE FUCKING AUCTION, YOU LOWLIFE!" She shouted loudly as she blew some smoke from her mouth irritatedly.
"Y-Yes! The bid is 35000 gold coins…going once…going twice…Sold." The man said with a scared look.
Acht almost blew out a sigh of relief since Lein kept her composure in this situation. It seems that it was not worth it for her to do it.
After that item, the auction was finally done and everyone left quickly. Staying with that crazy woman was the last thing they wanted to do.
Acht also started walking away. But, he wasn't intending to leave the area immediately. There was something that was about to happen.
'Lein. If I recall her character clearly. She's not going to let the person slip that easily. His death will be horrible.' He thought as he immediately took a turn at the closest alley. Then, he used his gravity to float in the air.
He has trained this skill so much during the last 3 months that it became way easier for him to fly for longer times than before.
After floating, he shot up to the sky and landed on the building. Then, he walked to the closest window to take a look at the private cockpit.
There, he saw a man with extravagant clothes sitting on a comfortable chair, and around him were his guards. He seemed to be the typical arrogant young master that you see in web novels.
"That bitch! Hahaha, she thinks she can compete with me! She can go suck my dick!" He said as he laughed loudly.
Then, a knock on the door stopped his laughter.
"Go open the door and see who's there. Also, fetch out the items I bought from the auction house." He added as he sipped his cup of wine.
One of the guards walked casually to the door and extended his hand to the door handle. But, before he could even touch it.
*SWISH*
In a mere one-tenth of a second, flashes of light along with a cutting sound reached the ears of everyone present. Then, the sound of the guard falling down to the ground. He was dead.
No, dead was an understatement, he was cut to tens of pieces like a piece of candy. His body parts were thrown everywhere like it was nothing.
Following that, the broken pieces of the door fell down two. What appeared from behind the door was Lein who was holding her pipe casually while blowing some smoke.
She had destroyed the door and killed a man with one single move or so they thought. Acht who was way stronger than them was able to see it.
'She made 20 slashes in the split of a second.' He unconsciously felt a drop of sweat fall down his face. That level of mastery on the sword was way too stupidly strong.
The rich man looked at the scene with a horrified look. He had never expected her to actually attack him since he was from a very influential guild.
"Sigh, the boss told me not to make a fuss. What can I fucking do? idiots are like flies. They fucking annoy you when you want it the least." She said as she walked inside the room casually.
"I warned you and you didn't want to listen." She added with a frown.
"A-Attack he-"
*Swish* *Swish* *Swish*
Before he could even complete his sentence, he looked beside him, and much to his horror. He found all of his 5 guards on the ground, dissected to pieces. He didn't even comprehend what happened since Lein didn't even move from her position.
Acht was also shocked beyond comprehension, that level of speed was not something he could've imagined to be possible.
Even with his eyes, he could only see a small movement from Lein before she returned to her initial position.
'What a fucking monster.' he thought to himself as he hid his presence even more. If she finds out he was looking, he won't be able to escape.
"Now, that we are alone. Give me all of your money. I will be getting the item."
"Please! Please don't kill me! Here, take everything but don't kill me!" He begged as he threw his spatial ring at her.
She grabbed the spatial ring and then walked out.
The man felt hope in his heart since she left him alive. But, the moment he was about to scream happily. A mind-freezing pain invaded every part of his body.
The pain was so overwhelming that he couldn't even understand what it was for a few seconds.
Then, between his shrills and cries, he looked down and saw the reason. Lein had cut off all of his limbs and destroyed his genitalia beyond recovery.
He now looked like a horror mannequin with no arms and no legs.
Acht saw this and felt a cold sweat down his back. He then immediately left the area as fast as he could. Lein was not someone who was merciful or forgiving, she would make him go through hell if he offended her in any way.
'I hope we never meet again. That crazy woman is a walking disaster.' He pondered in his head as he finally left the western district.
