After Hans finished speaking, and was clearly flattering Arya, Robert and the other two began to look at this man in silence and wonder. Especially Ryan, who previously knew that some time ago this Hans had planned something against Arya. But after seeing his prowess, he had changed one hundred and eighty degrees from the Hans he usually knew. But no one blamed him either. Because with the power and skills that Arya had shown all this time, anyone who saw him would definitely try to flatter him. "Hans," but the experienced Robert still warned. "You'd better watch your words! Even if you know that what you're saying is true, you must be careful when talking about a Grandmaster." "Grandmaster! That figure is not something we can insult and talk about so casually!" Hans's expression immediately hardened upon hearing that warning. But he still nodded heavily and remembered the warning Robert gave. "You too," Robert shifted his gaze toward Ryan to warn him as well. "Earlier I spoke

Seeing the female boss screaming and running back into the car, Karina became completely helpless. It was already night and she was quite tired from all the work during the day, and just wanted to rest immediately. But, ever since she visited Evelyn at the hospital, she had become increasingly exhausted by everything this woman boss did. The point was not that she couldn't handle a troublesome boss like her, but rather that Karina had absolutely no idea what was causing her superior to become so hysterical. Saying ghost, a terrifying big black figure, furry and red-eyed, brandishing a machete at her—where was all of that? Even though the reaction Evelyn showed was not acting, Karina absolutely could not see or hear it! Feeling extremely tired and helpless, Karina could only silently complain and heave a sigh. "Alright... Let's go to my place!" With no other choice, Karina could only bring Evelyn to her apartment with the hope that everything would be fine. Fortunately for her

"Ahh!!" Thalya herself even screamed in fear upon hearing those absurd sounds. Throughout her life, as a woman who trusted more in science and technology, she had never believed in mystical things like this. But when she heard strange sounds—sounds that seemed like screams, but also lamentations and pleas—she began to doubt her worldview all this time. Especially when she heard an explosion without any clear cause, along with a rotting stench and a cold temperature in the room. At that very moment, not only was her face pale and her body trembling in fear, but her mind also seemed to go blank. At that time, Kiara, who could witness what her father was doing, appeared excited and amazed by what she saw. When she turned toward Thalya, who looked trembling in fear, the little girl could not help but ask, "Auntie, why do you look pale and trembling? Are you feeling unwell?" "I---" Thalya opened her mouth, but she did not know what to say and could only fall silent when she found t

After that brief incident. As midday approached, Arya, Thalya and Robert arrived at the auction site located on a cliff by the seaside. A remote place that appeared rather ordinary compared to auction venues in general. Besides a small house measuring less than ten square meters, and quite plain, guarded by several men around it, no one would ever guess that this place would become the underground auction venue of the Coldway Family. But that was understandable, because after the guests' cars arrived, they were not allowed to park their cars in that area, but were instead told to drive away. Arya, who came with only two extra people, and did not even bring Kiara, smiled quietly as he witnessed that this wooden house was actually just a front. Because after handing over the invitation and being checked by the guards, Arya, who was absolutely not allowed to bring any communication devices, or even a cell phone, began to enter the elevator that descended underground. The sea breez

Thalya, who stood between the Coldway family name and Grandmaster Anan, silently gritted her teeth, and clenched both of her hands. Sitting beside Arya, she could not help but turn toward Serena in the distance with a gaze full of disappointment and anger in both of her eyes. Serena Coldway. Thalya was not unacquainted with that woman—in fact, she could be said to know her very well. Because since childhood, they had been good friends, and could even be considered sisters. However, due to the difference in status, everything changed. Ever since Serena became the main daughter of the main family, and was appointed to become the heir, that woman began to change slowly. Not only did she become increasingly rare to meet and talk to her, but she also never paid attention to her again. Especially since her identity as a branch family member who possessed skill and intelligence in managing the affairs of the Coldway Family exceeded Serena in several ways. The distance between the two

It was truly astonishing when he discovered that the beautiful woman who appeared gentle and graceful was actually far more extraordinary than the previous woman. Not only had she already reached Grandmaster at a young age, but she actually also possessed an innate body of the ice type, which was far rarer than the water type. These two women—if he were in the world of cultivation, they might have already become top geniuses fought over by giant forces. It was not impossible that their appearance would result in a bloody conflict. Especially upon discovering the rare ice-type innate body, with its limitless talent and future. "Besides knowing how extraordinary this Grandmaster Anan is, we should also be grateful for his help with this auction." Serena spoke again and drew everyone's attention, including Arya himself. After regaining everyone's attention, Serena continued speaking, "Perhaps everyone has already seen the list of items to be auctioned this time, and perhaps the gues
127
Seeing Arya's interest, Thalya, who was beside him, felt surprised and hurriedly looked at the item there with a confusing shock. "A stone?" Thalya could not help but turn between the bright blue stone on the stand, and Arya himself. "This stone, is it extraordinary?" While asking, she also could not help but feel strange. "It's actually not something extraordinary. But being able to see it on Earth truly surprised me greatly!" Arya's answer only confused Thalya even more. Even Robert began to furrow his brows to think, what was actually behind Arya's words. But Arya did not explain and said to Thalya, "Do you know where this stone came from?" "Let me see!" Thalya hurriedly looked at the auction catalogue, and found the name "energy stone" that was currently being auctioned. "Pure energy stone!" Serena on the auction platform began to speak and introduce it, "This stone, the size of a fist, and emitting a faint bluish glow, was found by someone accidentally on the island of

"Next item!" Serena on the stage spoke again and asked the attendant to bring the next item. But this time the item was not covered with cloth like the other items. Instead, it was placed inside a square glass box measuring thirty centimeters square. "This... Impossible!" Right when Arya saw the item inside the glass, his face immediately changed several times. For a moment his body also seemed tense and slightly trembling. When Thalya and Robert saw him, they were truly shocked upon witnessing the excessive reaction Arya displayed. For the first time, the two of them just realized that the figure who was usually calm and composed about anything could actually react that strongly. However, when the two of them looked toward the item being auctioned, they immediately became very confused. "A woven bracelet?" Not only Thalya and Robert, but everyone at the auction also experienced the same shock and confusion. Because no matter how they looked at it, a hand-woven bracelet with

"Actually..." Seeing the seriousness in Arya's words and gaze, Thalya appeared embarrassed as she said, "I only have less than two million." Arya furrowed his brows, and turned toward Robert, who was immediately met with a wry smile on his lips. "Master Anan, I must apologize, because after everything that has happened so far, I only brought no more than 10 million. Seeing the enthusiasm of the bidders now, I doubt...." Robert did not need to continue, because Arya, who now slightly furrowed his brows, seemed to begin thinking and no longer paid attention to him. Now, since the money he had at most would only be 15 million if added to Thalya's and Robert's money, Arya had actually considered taking it by force. But then he rejected that idea, because he did not want to become a shameless scoundrel by using his power. It was just that, when he remembered how precious the bracelet was to him, Arya began to think for a moment before suddenly asking Thalya, "Can you help me auction

But Arya immediately dismissed that thought. Because when he looked at Serena, he found an expression of slight anger, disgust and displeasure when looking toward Declan. Even though the woman was very skilled at hiding her expression, Arya could still find that the two of them might not get along. On the other side, Arya found that there was a gaze full of excessive attention and affection from Declan's eyes when looking at Serena, as if the world was not more important than the woman before him. A simp? Arya immediately realized something and suddenly smiled with full understanding. However, he was still slightly surprised upon seeing Thalya's expression, which appeared angry, annoyed and hateful when staring at Declan. Thalya and the couple—did they have a story behind it? A love triangle? Arya almost laughed when thinking about it, but he did not bother to ask, and only glanced at Declan with a light smirk on his lips. "A hundred million!" "Hiss..." Cold breaths full of
