601 Chapter 601: Plan in motion
Jenia was disgusted by the touch of that man, feeling as if thousands of poisonous insects had crawled all over her body. However, she didn't show much of a reaction on her face.
"I will keep that in mind," she said, watching the man walking away. But contrary to the words on her lips, she was repeatedly cursing him in her mind.
If that man wasn't a Primordial, she would have definitely killed him for touching her. At the sa ti, she also knew that if Estelia wasn't here, things might not have ended at just that.
After the Seventh Primordial disappeared into the distance, Jenia glared at Eren and asked, "You did it intentionally! You knew he was behind !"
"What does it matter if he was behind you, or not? Didn't you say that you weren't scared of him? Weren't you the one mocking for not saying such things out loud?" Eren lazily shrugged, not caring much about her words.
The only reason he even made her do it, was because he knew that the Seventh Primordial wasn't actually going to do anything to her in Estelia's presence. He had already known the relationship between the Seventh Primordial and the First Primordial.
The Seventh Primordial would have to be a fool to do sothing like that in front of Estelia. There was another reason he made Jenia do it.
The Seventh Primordial was a dangerous existence. Even though that man didn't show it, he had seen a flicker of killing intent in that man's eyes the mont he saw him. It was as if he already knew that Eren was the one who kidnapped the girl that he wanted.
Instead of constantly worrying about a poisonous snake that might bite at his back, he decided to proactively take out that snake. And the biggest weapon for him was the first primordial.
The First Primordial had tasked him with separating Estelia from Jenia. Eren had given himself another task on top of the original task, which was to create a conflict between the two Primordials itself.
Making the Seventh Primordial reveal his suspicious intentions was just the beginning of that plan. There were more things to co next. If everything went according to plan, Eren was certain that the threat of the seventh primordial was going to be over.
The Servant that was supposed to escort them, was simply standing in the distance, trying to make himself invisible if possible. He couldn't believe the things that he had seen.
An outsider was talking to Jenia with such arrogance, but she still didn't try to hurt him. Was it still the sa Jenia that killed a servant of this Auction House last ti, because he served her the wrong drink?
She looked like a completely different person, as she started complaining to Estelia, instead of taking action herself.
It made him wonder if he had seen sothing that he shouldn't have seen. Was he going to be killed for seeing Jenia in such a state? He was truly frightened, and tried to pretend that he wasn't even here in the first place.
"You went overboard. You should've warned us if he was here." Estelia told Eren, unable to stay silent in front of Jenia that kept complaining to him.
"Would you believe if I say I didn't know he was going to co? I'm an outsider. How could I even sense the presence of a Primordial? I was just ssing with her, and just as she finished speaking, the man appeared there like a ghost." Eren innocently answered, clarifying that he was simply ssing with her.
Before Estelia could think of the flaws in his story, he grabbed her hand, shocking her.
"Let's go. The Auction might start if we're late. It's my first auction, and I don't want to miss it." He didn't wait for Estelia's answer, and dragged her with him, just as she loved to drag him before.
The Servant also reacted fast, and guided them towards the room, slightly relieved that all the anger seed to be targeted at Eren, and not at him for seeing such things.
Estelia was being pulled by Eren, and she simply looked at him in disbelief. If it was before, she would have simply attacked Eren for touching her, but she rembered that he was a guest. Moreover, for so reason, she didn't hate that touch this ti.
She simply drifted on her feet, as she was taken by Eren. Jenia also followed behind them, her complaints never stopping. Unfortunately, Estelia didn't seem to be listening to her, as her gaze remained on Eren.
Soon, the three of them were brought to the VIP room at the auction house, which had number one carved at the door.
It was the room that was reserved for the First Primordial, even if he never arrived. If the First Primordial, or any representative from his side didn't arrive here, then the room was only destined to stay close.
The servant opened the door, revealing a room that had the best view of the auction stage, with a giant glass wall that allowed everything outside to be seen. However, no one could see through that window from outside.
Inside the room, there were multiple comfortable seats arranged, facing the glass wall. In front of each of the seats, tables were placed that had drinks and snacks already prepared.
"I will be right here. If you need anything, just give a call," the servant stopped outside the room, watching the three enter the vip room. He slowly closed the door.
Only after that, he sighed in relief. He survived today, despite seeing sothing that he shouldn't have seen. However, just as he was feeling relieved, he heard a voice coming from inside the room.
"I need to go to the washroom. I will be right back," the voice belonged to Jenia, who ca out of the room. It made the servant tremble, as he started looking elsewhere the mont that door opened.
Unfortunately, pretending to be invisible didn't work. The thing that he was most worried about, did happen as a claw stabbed through his back, and ca from the front with his heart. At the mont, his mouth was closed so he couldn't even make any noise.
