With a wide from plastered over his face, Raven stared at the screen, his eyes flickering with excitent and greed.
Over two billion Novas... That was an amount that even the Black Moon Guild could not amass in a single month much less in a single day!
'I'm rich.'
Raven grinned from ear to ear and if it hadn't been because people were sitting beside him he would have definitely laughed out loud!
"Sigh... The Realm Families are truly on another level. Spending this much only for a single item..." sighing with a hint of helplessness, Luna shook her head softly and glanced at his father.
"Who do you think will win the auction, dad?"
Old Dan, upon hearing the question leaned back into his hair and humd silently.
"If you ask , I would place my bet on the Scarlet Family. Between the five of them, they have the biggest wealth, especially because of their new product, the Recovery Potion."
"The Scarlet Family, huh? What about the Barlow Family? Thanks to their Relic trading business they have quite a massive inco also." Luna asked curiously.
"That is true. However, the amount of Novas they earn on a daily basis cos nowhere near the amount the Scarlet Family earn from their Recovery Potions."
"And the Frye Family?" Luna inquired next.
"Although they possess two unique Realm Domains from where they can mine Astral Cores in large quantity and sell them for good prices, they fall short also. As for the Cale or Halper Family, well... they have no chance."
"See? I told you. Th Scarlet Family will win this bet, no question about it." Old Dan showed a smile before he turned to face Raven, "It seems for once luck smiled on you, kid. Haha!"
Raven just smiled and shook his head.
"Not really. Once this auction is over I still have to deliver the Relic which will definitely raise several headaches."
Old Dan's face turned serious when he realized the problem and nodded.
"You are right. Do you want to give you the Lost Talisman?"
Raven shook his head, "No need. It would only make things worse and even bring unnecessary nuisances to our guild."
"And what if they will bother you? Also, how will you co back? Knowing the Realm Families and the Realm Association, they will definitely keep an eye on you."
Hearing his little sister's worry Raven smiled and laughed softly.
"About that, you don't have to worry. Astra will help in that."
"If you say so..." Luna humd and silently glanced at the black fox lying on the sofa in the living room, her fluffy tail covering her face.
After that, Raven kept talking with his family about various things while keeping an eye on the auction and enjoying the way the numbers kept increasing.
And after an hour later...
"Finally!"
Straightening his back in a flash, Raven leaned forward and quickly logged in with his anonymous profile, imdiately seeing several notifications popping up on his screen one by one!
"Sigh... Thought so." Raven sighed softly as he saw that the Star Treasury decided to do the trade at the headquarters of the Scarlet Family.
With another sigh, Raven logged out and looked at Thomas.
"Were you able to buy the things I have asked for?"
"Naturally. Please give a second." Thomas nodded and walked out of the room, only to co back with a small box in hand.
"Thank you." Raven accepted the box with a faint smile and opened it, looking inside it for a few seconds before nodding in satisfaction.
"Perfect."

The whole world was in turmoil at the mont and almost everyone stared at their devices' screens either in their hos or on the streets with mixed emotions of excitent and doubt. Of course, people feeling the latter were more than those feeling the forr, after all, the legend that saved the lives of billions during The Great Change was thought to be dead.
Yet, for so miraculous reason, it was rumored that he was alive and was ready to et with one of the Realm Families, the Scarlet Family!
It was just simply too hard to believe!
"Hey, guys! Do you think this Luck is really the one? ,-,"
"What? Are you kidding? Of course not, you fool! Luck sacrificed himself for us during the first round, this one is just an impostor!"
"I have to agree. Why would he appear all of a sudden now, after three whole years? It just makes no sense at all!!"
"Sacrificed, lol? Dude, are you blind or what? Lord Luck vanished during his fight against Paloma, he didn't sacrifice himself nor did he die! Although I don't know why now, I know it's him! I can feel it in my balls!"
"In my opinion, I think he is just another brat who thinks can fool around and gain so fa without any consequences. What a fucking loser..."
"True, at least now he will be taught a lesson, keke."
"...Ayo, dude... What do you an you can feel it in your balls? O-o"
"Sus."
"Yeah, as hell."
"Teach the way, sensei!!"
"Bruh..."
...
While people were talking on various platforms, trying to guess whether Luck ca back from the dead or not, Luck himself, was standing at the edge of a small cliff, from where he could easily see the vibrant, half-transparent barrier of a Realm Domain despite it being several kiloters away in the distance!
It was just that massive.
"Although dad explained this to before, I can still hardly believe it."
Wearing an elegant and luxurious snow-white suit with a golden mask on his face, one that had the exact sa appearance as the one he wore in the past, Raven stared at the Realm Domain and let out a soft gasp.
Just as his father told him before, the five Realm Families were called that way for a reason.
"To think they are living inside Realm Domains and one that in the past was a Crimson Gate... They are truly sothing else."
With a helpless sigh, Raven shifted his gaze to the right and narrowed his eyes.
Right at the periter of the Realm Domain, he could see the figure of nurous individuals, each wearing luxurious clothes from who he could spot a few familiar faces.
Alexios, Goran, President Bai, and Manster Ansell.
'...Well, it was kinda expected.'
After taking a deep breath, Raven took a step forward and... jumped down the cliff.
The air whistled in his ear and watched as the ground below him beca closer and closer to him until was only a few ters away from him!
"Astra..." Raven spoke calmly and right as he did, the shadow below him trembled and expanded.
A smile ford on Raven's face seeing this and without saying a single word he allowed himself to be consud by the darkness.
And a second later...
"Your ability is truly a miraculous one."
Climbing out of the shadow, Raven patted his clothes and looked at his shadow, from where Astra stared at him silently with her sowhat nacing crimson eyes.
"What? Are you still angry at ?" Raven tilted his head to the side scarcely however, even after waiting for several seconds he got no answer.
"I see..." Raven just shook his head helplessly and directed his gaze where the Scarlet Family was waiting for him.
"Okay, how about this? After we are done here I will let you drink so of my blood."
Astra didn't answer for a long ti, then with a calm voice that could hardly hide her excitent she replied;
"...Do as you wish."
'So cold...'
Raven smiled bitterly and without saying anything else began to walk toward the Realm Domain.
anwhile, at the periter of the Realm Domain that belonged to the Scarlet Family, people were talking with each other when suddenly all of them fell silent and almost simultaneously shifted their heads in the sa direction.
"Who..." the guards on the sides immidieatly tensed up when seeing a figure walking out of the bushes, however, just as they could have acted President Bai stopped them.
"You are Luck, right?"
Raven, seeing that everyone was staring at him with wary eyes stopped walking, and with a soft chuckle, he spoke calmly, "Although I know it's already late to say this but thank you for the al from before. It was great."
