Chapter 130: Auction house part 1

Viktor was getting ready inside his room with the help of a servant of the house. His name was Jum Seong, a graduated A-class hybrid from a reputed academy and a skilled bodyguard who served the family of QH chairman's from generation to generation. His main objective was to protect the family from getting hurt and assist the heir to run the company. He was also related to the company's president, Min Seong.

He's the younger brother of the QH company's president, the head butler of the house, and also, the vice president of the company.

Viktor looked at him and asked, "Jun Seong, you're curious about my background, are you? I believe you already investigated me and Adonis."

Jun stopped fixing his tie and said, "Well, for the company's betterment, I need to check it as a part of my duty. And surprisingly, I found nothing about this Li family that Sir Adonis talked about."

'He's worried that we might sell the company and leave. Well, the bad news is this Eun family is already gone from the world. And the company is under the control of a demon king. So no matter how much they try to dig up about him, he's never going to find a single thing about him. He's a genius after all, a genius sly demon who eats human flesh as his favourite food. '

Viktor smiled at him and said, "Don't bother looking into our past if you don't want to lose your head. Also, warn your brothers too so that they don't make ties with the branch Eun family unless they want their business to get destroyed. Adonis isn't a person who likes to deal with problems slowly. If he becomes annoyed, he will just wipe them out without any trace."

Jun finished fixing his hair and opened a box. A white jade mask was prepared for him so he took it and wore it on his face. "This is nicely made. Thanks?"

At that moment, Adonis came in and told the butler to move out of the room. He was wearing the same outfit as Viktor with a white mask in hand. He kneeled and said, "I deeply apologise for my shameless act, master. I've committed a grave sin."

Viktor became speechless.

"Eh? What are you talking about? I never said that you can't have s...And I know it was the season so I didn't mind at all. Please stand up. And you don't need to ask for my permission to do that in the future."

"My master is so kind. I am glad that I serve you. Please take this. I prepared this to show you my gratitude."

Adonis gave him a bottle of fine wine that he bought in the capital Omega. Before he came to earth, he heard that Viktor liked the wine from omega city. So he bought tons of them without telling him and he thought this was the perfect time to give him one.

Viktor's eyes became shiny.

"Adonis!! You're the best!!!" He took the bottle and started to dance with it. "That man sells really good wine!! I am so happy right now!!"

Adonis smiled a little and thought, 'You are the demigod who can rule multiple universes without any problem. You can have all the riches and live forever in heaven as a king. Yet, you become all happy just from receiving a cheap wine from a lowly servant like me. You never fail to amaze me, master.'

"Adonis, let's celebrate at night after we are done with our visit to the auction house today. I want to celebrate your successful night!! Let's go!!!'

Viktor held his hand and dragged him out of the room towards the main door of the house. Both of them wore their masks and the driver took them out of the city to the deep market.

Viktor took his membership card and went inside the building with Adonis.

'Wow, everyone is wearing a white suit and white mask. It will be difficult to spot someone as a normal human.' He looked at his watch and said, "Ito, the room is on the 48th floor." nOvE)lb-1n

Before they went inside the building, both of them set a fake name for themselves to avoid suspicion. Viktor named Adonis 'Ito' and told Adonis to call him 'Makoto' as long as they were inside the building.

Adonis checked the card and said, "Makoto, the elevator is in that way."

"Let's go then. Shall we?"

"Yes, brother."

The deep market is usually the market for hybrids to buy and sell products without relieving their identity. It's nearly illegal but actually not. The market, the area administrators and the marketing process are all controlled by the international hybrid association itself. So the government shuts its mouth because of the thick money they offer even if a world-class criminal is running the business inside the country.

The deep market is also a place for criminals and hybrids to get along. They ought to work together because of the order of the administrator. The criminals are the source of their business, so they all come in peace when they are inside the deep market association. Or else, no matter how powerful the person is, harming someone inside the sector business corporation can lose their head.

It also applies to criminals.

In the meantime, Viktor who put the potion on the auction caught so many eyes. Most of them mocked the fact that the potion can't heal a severed arm. It didn't even have the properties of a healer hybrid. But some people who paid a huge amount of money to find out its seller became a little hopeful to see it was from the North family. It was from Viktor North so they saw some rays of hope. They were excited to test the potion and to make a business deal with him.

Viktor looked around and saw most of them were from aboard and they were all heading to room 32. It was the room where he was supposed to attain as a guest.

Viktor poked at Adonis and said, "What do you think about them?"

Adonis looked at them and answered, "They are all from Europe's largest countries. And nobles on top of that. I can also see the duchess. The woman who's covering her face with a white fan even though her whole face is buried under the mask."

"I heard her son lost a hand from fighting with his elder brother. She must be targeting the potion."

"I believe so," Adonis answered respectfully and opened the door for him. The room was decorated with expensive things and high-class desserts on the table. The room was filled with a sweet aroma and dazzling lights. The front wall was a glass wall that had great access to the auction house stage. It was prepared for guests and the sellers who put their products on the auction.

Viktor took a seat in the front with Adonis and took a glass of champagne. He looked to his right and saw the woman who was covering her whole face. She was trying to get closer to Viktor.

But he paid no attention and stayed calm until the auction host walked on the stage. The lights turned off and a flashlight focused on the man with a colourful suit. He was imitating the appearance of the joker card.

The man tapped on the mic and said, "Good morning fellow hybrids. I am Jack. And today, I will be the host of this month's fabulous auction!!!!"

The crowd's applause echoed throughout the massive room and it calmed down after the host raised his left hand with the mic. Well well. I appreciate your efforts to make me joyful in the morning."

He put on his hand gloves and again said, "Today is the weekend of June's first week. I sincerely apologise for postponing the date for a week because of a product that arrived suddenly. Anyways, enough with the chit-chat. Let's jump straight to today's auction!"

Viktor raised his glass to the host and coincidentally, they made eye contact from that distance. 'That man got some sharp eyes.'

Adonis looked to his left and saw a man trying to pass him a small piece of paper. "Pass this to the young fellow on your left." He took the paper and said, "Makoto, someone passed this to you."

Viktor put his glass on the table and took the small piece of paper. It said, •Shall we talk on the rooftop after the auction is closed?•

He smiled a little and said, "Pass this paper to him."

"Yes." He took the paper and passed it to the man who gave it to him a moment ago.

'A mistress of the king of 'x' country is already contacting me. How amusing.' He moved his attention to the host who was running his mouth to sell a small black orb. The crowd was showing their tags to raise the price like crazy to the point that it reached 40 million dollars. So he looked at the orb and found out it was an orb of poison that surpasses any other poison on earth.

He immediately knew who made that orb and put it on auction. It was the guardian of poison.

'She finally put her toes in South Korea. Now she's dead for sure.'
