Rina arrived at the auction area and sat down casually. After all, she was a special guest, so there were no restrictions on where she could sit.Just as Rina was watching the auction, she heard a voice coming from the side."Alone?" Tanishia, who was with two middle-aged men, greeted Rina gently.Rina turned her attention toward the source of the voice. She looked at Tanishia, then nodded once. "Yes, Jako went back first.""He had already asked for my permission beforehand." Tanishia sat beside Rina, while the two middle-aged men raised their eyebrows."Why are you sitting here, Tanishia? Aren't we going to meet the young man who managed to conquer the Fire Mask?"Tanishia immediately became sullen, and she looked sharply at the two men. "Later! As for why I'm sitting here, of course it's to keep Rina company!"The two older men looked at the woman beside Tanishia in confusion. They had never seen that woman anywhere before."So, who is the Miss beside you?"Tanishia let out a long s

Ryu's words were not without reason, he had indeed gained many things simply by reading books.To him, reading was enough to broaden his knowledge, especially about the world this time.Rendy and Merlin narrowed their eyes, not because of anything in particular. Rather, they realized that Ryu was unlike ordinary people.Anyone else would surely choose valuable treasures over piles of books filled with unfamiliar letters or languages.That was why they felt that Ryu was truly different from everyone else."Are you sure you don't want to take anything else?" Rendy asked, looking at him seriously. "Those books have no value in our storage.""That's why I asked Tanishia to bring them here so they wouldn't fill up the house." Rendy stated directly.Ryu immediately understood, no wonder he had seen so many books around this place. Books that should have been carefully preserved, yet they had simply left them there.This made him happy because he had already read every one of those books.Hi

Ryu chuckled softly when he heard the words that came out of Rina's mouth.He nodded, then placed one hand behind his back, and a notebook appeared in his right hand."This is the gift I'm giving you!" Ryu handed over the thin notebook, which only had a few pages.Rina frowned and accepted the notebook. "What is this? Why are you giving me a notebook?"Rina looked disappointed, but when she opened the notebook, she found something that caught her attention.She immediately memorized the entire contents of the notebook, then turned her gaze toward Ryu. "This... Is it really okay!""What do you mean?" Ryu asked while looking at Rina in confusion."What I mean is, I received this notebook before the other women!" Rina answered directly.Ryu smiled faintly, he had not expected that Rina's concern was about the other women."Don't worry, they each have their own. However, everyone's notebook is different." Ryu said.That surprised Rina, and she smiled while nodding enthusiastically. "This

Merlin frowned when he heard the words 'the next world.'He did not expect Ryu to be so ruthless in dealing with that group."Aren't you being too cruel by doing that?" Merlin asked, he wanted to see the soul of the young man standing before him.Ryu looked at Merlin, then replied indifferently. "Cruel? That's interesting, and I don't want unnecessary trouble!"Merlin's gaze grew deeper, and he understood the man's heart. He nodded several times, then muttered softly. "It seems I have been too soft."Ryu ignored Merlin's statement. He only looked at him for a moment before turning around and speaking casually."I'll be leaving first, if there's a chance, we'll talk again later." Ryu said.He indeed could not stay at the auction house for too long. There were things he had to do before beginning the expedition later."Wait, may I ask you for something?" Tanishia asked Ryu, she stepped a little closer and looked at him with hope.Ryu raised an eyebrow. "Is there something you want to as

The car continued moving toward the outskirts of Amoura City. Reynald, who was following the directions, felt slightly confused.However, not long afterward, he arrived at Zalan Harbor. The place was still marked with restricted area barriers, although only in a few locations."Sir, is it really alright for us to be here...?"Reynald looked at the restricted area and felt slightly doubtful about his master's decision.Ryu simply smiled casually. "Just drive in, it's fine. I'll make sure everything is safe later!"Reynald nodded. Although he was a little skeptical, he still followed the order. He drove the car into the harbor.As they went farther inside, Reynald was shocked by the damage to the walls and roads throughout the harbor.He felt that the place had once been a battlefield. The damage to the harbor was truly no trivial matter.There were long slash marks, and even the cracks in the walls could not be ignored."This..."Ryu leaned back in his seat. "Looks like a battlefield,
