343 Luna
Evelyn ca back once in a while. But Alex told her not to do so since Alex felt a few presences the first ti she ca back. He told her to co only on the auction day.
Luckily, they did not try anything funny. If not, Alex might be forced to kill them. Alex already made a Sound Insulation Array so they could not pry his conversation with Anna. So, they could only wait for a silent room for the entire week.
Alex did not know who sent them, but it was clearly from the Royal Family. They might co because Evelyn ca back to the castle, or they were sent by the prince or princess that he t earlier. But in any case, they could not get anything from him.
After the whole week, Evelyn finally ca back.
"Knock Knock."
"Big brother Alex. The auction will start in two hours," Evelyn said from outside.
Alex nodded. Anna imdiately wore her black veil. Both of them then ca out of the room.
"Let's go."
"Un."
Well, the auction house was in front of them, so they arrived in a jiffy. When the guards saw Evelyn, as usual, they were kneeling on the ground.
"Your Highness."
"Rise. Who is in charge?" Evelyn asked solemnly.
"I am. My na is Felix, your highness." A middle-aged guy walked to her.
Evelyn only nodded before turning her head to Alex. "Big brother Redna."
Alex knew why she was looking at him. Alex imdiately took out his golden card and gave it to her.
Evelyn then showed it to the middle-aged guy. "Show us the room."
"Golden… Yes yes… Please this way." The middle-aged guy was shocked at first but imdiately regained his calm.
Evelyn then gave Alex's golden card back, and they followed Felix inside.
"The room is on the top floor. Please."
However, just as when they stepped inside the auction house.
"Well well well, isn't this my genius little sister?" A voice suddenly ca from another direction.
Alex sighed behind his mask as he knew with a line like this, usually, a problem would occur. Alex thought by bringing Evelyn as his guide and made his appearance to be mysterious, he could prevent any problem.
Sadly, he did not think it enough. There was this royal family that did not care about that. And when he turned his head, he could see a black-haired guy again. It seed black hair was the trait of Thiveapia Kingdom's royal family.
Alex was a little bit surprised by his cultivation, he was a 4-Star Martial Lord. There were two people behind him. One of them seed to have the sa age as him with a cultivation of 3-Star Martial Lord. He had long purple hair while wearing a long white robe.
The other one was also wearing a long white robe, but he was an old man. He also had long purple hair, but his cultivation was 9-Star Martial Lord. This made him frown. Alex did not know who these two were, but they might also co from the Royal Family.
"I will go first." He would just let Evelyn handle this as he sent a thought transmission to Evelyn. He was able to do this since he had reached the Martial Lord stage. Alex then turned his head to Felix, "Lead to the room."
Felix did not know what to do. After all, he knew the person in front of them was the first prince, Cromwell.
Evelyn then turned her head to Alex and Felix, she nodded her head. And with that, Felix had no choice other than leading Alex to his room.
When the first prince and the two people behind him watched this, they imdiately frowned. "Ho… To think there are people that dared to ignore ."
Alex only ignored him.
Felix was sweating this entire ti, as he did not have any choice in this. After all, Alex had a golden card, which ant he brought more than ten million Spirit Stones. And usually, the people who had a golden card were people with status.
The room was spacious. It had a few couches and a table facing the stage. The decoration was also luxurious. It seed this room was truly only for a wealthy person or people with status.
And when he tried to look at the stage, he saw a few more rooms downstairs but smaller. It seed they were the rooms for the VIP tickets. And lastly, there were many chairs at the very bottom. It might feel a bit uncomfortable with so many people around shouting at the sa ti. He was a bit glad to have this room.
"Esteed guest, do you need our item list for today's auction?" Felix asked politely.
"Sure." Alex nodded. He rembered that he was too focused on the box. It might be good to see other things to see if he needed anything.
"Understood. I shall bring you the list imdiately. And, do you need any wom-!" Felix could not finish his words as he felt killing intent from Anna.
"I don't need it. Just bring the list. If I need anything, I will ask Evelyn." Alex said. He also understood what he wanted to say. He might want to send a few won to this place to entertain him. Unfortunately, he did not need this kind of entertainnt. Anna was also against it.
"Yes." Felix imdiately nodded his head and left the room. He also noticed Alex called the eleventh princess with her given na. He never thought there was soone that called her like that, and Evelyn also seed a bit attached to him. He knew he should not say anything about this matter and imdiately brought him the list.
Alex then sat on a couch to wait until the auction started. But suddenly Nelson called him.
"Young Master. There is a big movent from the Zhou Kingdom. They are marching toward the Thiveapia Kingdom."
"…" Alex was speechless. He never thought this happened once again. He just left the sect and a problem ca again. But it was also the perfect ti to gain so EXP for his spirits. "How many?"
"A hundred thousand soldiers: Five hundred Martial Lords, twenty thousand Martial Masters, the rest are Martial Grandmasters. Judging from their power level, it seems they get a bountiful reward after attacking the Southern Kingdom. I am afraid they will implent the sa tactic as they did when they attacked the Southern Kingdom."
Alex contemplated a little bit. He said, "They might also attack the last kingdom, the Hazel Kingdom after this. That way, they will get another batch of Blood Pill. And all of it will co to climax in the Grand Tournant."
"Yeah, I also arrived at that conclusion. But we could not be sure until it happened. And there is one more thing. I have killed all of the princes and princesses in the castle. But it seems, they suddenly made a huge move like this because of that."
"Alright. Just leave it to ." Alex said as he closed his eyes. It seed he was also at fault. He then took out Nicole's card. Alex did not have any jobs for Nicole since the box that he searched for was in this auction. He just got a perfect job for her. "Summon."
"Young Master." Nicole kneeled on the ground as she greeted her.
"You shall scout the Zhou Soldiers that soon co to this kingdom." Alex decided to help the Thiveapia Kingdom a bit since it was his fault.
"Yes." As she said that, she disappeared.
Alex was surprised to see her disappear. He rembered she was a succubus, but he had no idea how she could disappear like that. After all, Njomo was a shadow dog and could travel through the shadow. Ngina could beco a small reptile. But Nicole…
"Fufu… If you ask her, she will only answer you with 'If we could easily be detected by others, we are not qualified to be a spy.' Well, that is Nelson's teaching." Anna said with a smile after noticing the confused expression in Alex's face.
Not long after that,
"Knock Knock."
Alex thought it must be Felix. "Co in."
The door was opened, and a woman figure suddenly ca in.
"Esteed guest, I have brought the list." But when they thought it was Felix, a woman's voice filled the room.
Anna imdiately looked at her as Alex also felt he had heard the voice from sowhere. When he looked at the woman, he instantly recognized her. She was the princess he saw back in Matthew's room, the one who invited him to join the auction with her.
Alex asked coldly, "What do you want?"
"Nothing… I am just curious about you. The forr wanted person in the Southern Kingdom, a master of Alchemist, Sword, and Spear. How can I not treat you seriously as one of the espionages? I need to know your intention by coming to this kingdom… Alexander Sirius." She said as she put the list on the table, and then she sat on one of the couches.
Alex's expression darkened. He said coldly, "Woman… As a spy, you should also know that you should not be too greedy. After all, curiosity killed the cat."
"What do-!" Before she was able to finish her words, she felt a cold tal touching her neck. Alex did not move an inch from his seat, but Anna already appeared behind Luna as her scythe was already on her neck.
"I don't have any other intention. I only co for this auction. I am not afraid of problems, but I don't want to kill needlessly. So, don't make kill you, woman." Alex said coldly.
Luna sweatdropped as she could kill his killing intent. Alex was serious. She felt that his reputation was truly deserved as soone who was wanted in the Southern Kingdom. Alex did not mind killing her and beca the enemy of Thiveapia Kingdom.
"Of course. I have prepared myself if you want to kill . At first, I wanted to enjoy the auction. But you are more interesting, and I could see why Evelyn beca a bit attached to you."
"Is that all you wanted to say?"
"Well, no. Actually, for VVIP guest, our auction house will always prepare one staff mber to help the guest bid or anything. I volunteer myself to be the staff for this room."
"I don't need any staff. I can ask Evelyn for that."
"This is troubling , esteed guest. I have promised uncl- I an, the head of the Auction house for this. So, I am afraid I could not leave this room.
Before Alex could respond, soone suddenly opened the door. When they turned their heads to see who it was, it was Evelyn. Her face showed a frustrated expression, but when she saw her sister was also in the room with Anna's scythe on her neck, she was dumbfounded.
"Big sister Luna?"
"Ara, Evelyn. I assu you have finished your business with the crown prince?"
"Hmph."
"Evelyn is here. I am sure she can replace your job in this place." Alex suddenly said to Luna. "Also, Anna, co back here."
Alex thought Evelyn could convince Luna to go out, so he recalled Anna back since it won't be nice to see your own sister had a scythe pointed on her neck. It would put Evelyn in a hard situation. Of course, if this Luna was too stubborn, he did not mind making a move himself.
"Big sister Luna. I can take care of everything in this place. So, please…" Evelyn said to her, she also did not know what to do in this situation. It seed it was better to ask her to go.
"Aiyo, Evelyn. I already promised my uncle to be the waiting staff for this room. I could not certainly go out just like this. Or maybe, I can use my body so he can let stay."
"Big sister! You should not say that." Evelyn blushed when she heard about using her' body' to seduce Alex.
Alex sighed. He said, "Then, I need to force you."
"!!!"
