Chapter 121: Chapter 121 Auction Part 01.

Malik, as the one who had some experience regarding the event, for he had a connection with the merchant association, opened his mouth.

"We would like to go to our room, please".

"May I see your room key, please?".

"Here".

As Malik showed the card he received from the guards, with a number attached to it.

"Nineteen, please follow me!".

The employee turned his back and urged the three of them to follow him. Before them stood a four-way direction, which led to the auction venue if they took the front path. But instead, they took a turn to the right then waited in front of the elevator door that will bring them to the second floor.

A beeping sound was ringing, and the door of the elevator was opened, revealing an empty space, which they entered. Inside the elevator, after pressing the number of floors they wanted to go to, as the gravity sensation pulled them down, nobody opened their mouth. They were muted and only awaiting for the door to open.

Another beep sound echoed as the door opened and revealed another hallway that seemed deserted.

"This way!".

The employee took a left turn, which Malik followed, and the other two. On the right side of the wall, many doors stand separately, showing a double-digit number on its door. As for the left side, it was just a plain wall and some small route for the employee to do their work in dealing with the guests.

"This is the place".

"Thank you".

Currently, they are standing in front of the door that has a number nineteen on it. As the employee had finished with his business, he bent his torso and, with a slight smile, opened his mouth.

"If anything happens, you can use the terminal inside the room to do the bidding or you also call the employee, if you need some room service. Then I will take my leave, enjoy your stay".

The employee leaves the place. The three people stared blankly, watching his figure vanish before taking action.

"Let's enter".

Malik swiped the card to the terminal beside the door. It let out a clicking sound, and the door opened its locked function. Soma pushed the door, making a creaking noise before followed by the other.

The interior of the room was wide and pretty much simple. The floor had been decorated by a luxurious red carpet, and in the middle of the room, there was a three-seater sofa arranged in a U-shape, with a rectangular table in the middle that was made from white granite. On top of the table, there is a tablet the employee talking about a terminal.

The highlight of this room was a massive monitor that was plastered on the wall in front of them, showing an image of the venue live as they were currently still preparing to start the auction.

Malik, who held the key, locked the door, which prompted the others to take their respective seats. Soma, as the person who held the gold. He sat in the middle, followed by Hiroshi on the left and Malik on the right side.

"Kid, do you know what items the demon is after?".

"Sir Malik is right. Do you have the item in mind?".

Soma, who was bombarded with questions, knitted his brows. His mind started to wander and recalled the three items that the demon after in this auction. One of them is a phoenix sculpture, the second one is an orb, and the last is a relic.

"Yeah, I know what they are after".

After hearing Soma's confident tone, Malik and Hiroshi shut their mouths. They sighed as they put their trust in Soma.

The venue on the screen started to bustle with crowds. Soma, who kept his gaze straight, opened his eyes wide as he spotted a familiar face within those crowds.

"...So Leon is here…". He muttered.

Soma recalled that not just Leon was here, the other big wings were also present, but he couldn't care less about any of them, for his aim was the three items that would give the demon a big advantage in the war later.

After half an hour passed, the venue was filled to the brim, and on the stage, the screen began to light up, revealing a red curtain that was still closed. Then, the venue that lit brightly suddenly turned dim, and all of the spotlight gathered upon the closed curtain.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Thank you for your enthusiasm in participating in our Auction. Please welcome our esteemed lady on the hour. Miss Lawrence will make her appearance". A male voice reverberated inside the venue, which gathered the participant's attention toward the stage.

The curtain on the stage slid to the side. All of the gaze in the venue gathered upon a single female in her late teens, who stood gallantly in the middle of the stage, wearing a luxurious black dress that revealed both her shoulders and alluring back.

She stood gracefully at 170 cm in height, her straight black hair that reached her waist her alluring figure with its curved body enough to please any man in sight. The woman in question with a mic on the ear spoke.

"Good evening, everyone. I want to thank you for your grand participation in the auction my family held every four years. As one of the sole successors of the family, I will lead the auction and…".

On the stage, the woman called Miss Lawrence greeted the participant with her bewitching tone. She captivated every male participant in the venue. Except those who had resistance toward her charms, and Soma was also one of those as he knitted his brows with a headache that assaulted his brain.

"...Who is she?". Soma muttered.

Soma didn't recall the person who led the auction was a female. In the Chronicles Saga, the one who led it was a male, and indeed, they had the same family named Lawrence. But currently, the one who stood on the stage was a beautiful, sexy woman who was clearly not present in the story.

"Tch, that damn author". Soma cursed in his heart.

"To begin with. Let's start with our first item. Please, bring it here".

As instructed by Miss Lawrence, two attractive female employees wearing dresses pushing a trolley that has three layers, each layer containing an item,

Miss Lawrence saw the approaching trolley. Then, she turned her gaze to inspect every participant in the venue. She curved her lips, making every young male heart leap. With her delicate finger protected by black gloves, she traces a bleak parchment before bringing it to the front stage.

"This scroll we found in the dungeon, and after appraising it, the scroll contained a useful skill for you martial practitioner…".

Upon the mention of a martial practitioner, every person who walked that path stiffened their body as they silently watched the scroll in Miss Lawrence's hands.

There are many gazes directed at it, but a lot of them came from young people who were tempted to obtain the skill. Realizing that all of the eyes are on her, she starts to announce the skill in the scroll along with its bidding prices.

"...The skill inside the scroll is Serene Mind. The starting price is a hundred thousand gold…".
