2022-09-26 18:14:00Ravel bent his body in a silent goodbye, he disappeared the moment the door slid open. Zhi Ruo's face didn't change, as if their wasn't anything wrong. The masked man, now in clean clothes, and with his mask without a splatter of blood, stepped inside the room his hair in a shade of something in between blonde and and his normal dark obsidian black.
However, because of the fact that there's 'blonde' in his hair, she sincerely doubts that obsidian black is his actual hair color. As if he noticed Zhi Ruo's stare, the masked man took out a towel and rubbed it in his damp hair.
"Are you blonde?" Zhi Ruo could not help but mutter curiously. Her head was tilted to the side, curiosity coated her voice. "Or is it dye?"
"I dyed my hair black before the tournament." Came in th masked man's curt reply. "It helped concealed my identity, though

[Unspoken Agreement]
Wu Jaiyuan and Xiao'tai shared a fleeting moment of eye contact, one looked up while the other looked down. It was an unspoken agreement that they should swiftly conclude their mission, recognizing that Liu Qinwei was the sole available individual they could engage with at that moment. The shared look and confirmed their shared realization, prompting them to prioritize their objective and proceed with the necessary actions.In a separate room, Zhi Ruo and Yuan Chuanli also exchanged a meaningful glance. Having observed the unfolding situation from the beginning, they had keenly followed the events as mere bystanders. Their position as impartial observers made it possible for them to gauge the atmosphere and make their own ideas from the emotions emanating from both sides. Needless to say, Zhi Ruo and Yuan Chuanli were one in the same conclusion that if Liu Qinwei was a bit rich, they wouldn't put it pass him to spend all his money on gambling and women."
[Retreat]
Cautious of the unexpected apology, the young representative of the Liu clan remained vigilant, his gaze fixed upon the two strangers before him. However, a sense of unease stirred within him as he noticed the absence of any movement from the room behind him. A bead of sweat trickled down the back of his neck, a realization dawning upon him that the two women inside the room might have been eavesdropping on their conversation at the moment. Seeing that they weren't talking softly (whisper arguing) anymore, the young man could only assume that they were eavesdropping, just because of their personalities.He knew that his fellow Liu representatives realized that there was something wrong with how long he was blocking the door, and because of their nosy nature they probably ceased fire and tuned into what was stalling him."I am the representative of the Wu clan, Wu Jaiyuan." The lanky man said, the greasy smile on his lips turn
[Suspicious People]
As the door creaked open, a spectral figure of a man unfolded, casting an eerie shadow over the young man. Swallowing, hoping that his emotions don't show up on his face, the young man allowed his gaze to wander the figure of the haunting silhouette before diverting his attention to the other person positioned just beyond the enigmatic man before him. The young man shifted on the balls of his feet before opening his mouth to speak. "What do you want?" His tone were neither subservient nor overbearing. He didn't want to appear meek, but he can't risk being arrogant either. The man looked at the representative of the Liu clan, who's whole actions spoke of deliberateness and caution. The only indicator that the young man saw of the towering figure in front of him acknowledging him, was the fraction of a twitch of his head."Liu, are you not?" The towering man, his voice gruff like a distant thunderclap, descending on the young
[Poetic thoughts]
Yuan Chuanli's voice barely audible, he muttered, "It appears as though they are destined for doom, a fate from which they may never recover." Lost in contemplation, he leaned back, cupping his chin with hands that betrayed the weight of his thoughts. There was a odd look that crossed Zhi Ruo's face as she heard what Yuan Chuanli said. If she wasn't in a rather focused situation at the moment, then she would've died cringing.'Brother you should keep those poetic thoughts to yourself!'The bidding unfolded before Yuan Chuanli's eyes, each call pushing the price higher by 25 crescent coins/papers, a relentless ascent that left their dwindling funds far behind.Soon, the bid call was decreasing now that the overexcited Liu clan people weren't in the picture, at least for now. Even the other people were slowly letting out their cashflow and not just pouring it like they did earlier.It align
[You Dare?!]
The young woman touched her face with wide bulging eyes, as if she didn't 'realize' that she had been hit— or maybe she couldn't 'believe' that she was hit by the middle aged drunkard of a woman she called as a relative. Her mouth hung open, as if she struggled to get words out, in the end she could only stare at the raging woman in front of her blankly. Her pallid face regained some of its color, as her features were quickly overtaken by anger. "You dare?!" The young woman's voice was shrill, as she rose up from where she sprawled from the middle aged woman's hit— although the middle aged woman was nearing her elderly phase, she could still pack a nasty hit. Which was mostly the reason why the younger woman was so surprise, as her relative's smack had literally sent her flying. She even looked like she didn't even realize that her clothes were soaked with wine, it seems like the only thing that her mind registered was that of disbelief.<
[Peak]
The price was rising higher, and higher, the bidding getting more intense more rough and the people that haven't got a private room? They have long been brought down and reduced to hushing individuals with serious expression marring their faces as they listened to the escalating sum that was being called left and right in all directions. The only thing they could do was pound their chest in frustration as they couldn't participate in the bidding war even if they want to. They were reduced to mere speculators. Unable to contribute to the subdued battlefield of money.For it wasn't silver nor gold that was being used, but paper and crescent coins. It was hard to see a single crescent currency in their lifetime, but now they could hear important people sending it out like it was nothing. Sitting their and listening was simply like a eye opener, nobody wanted to stand up and go.If anything, everyone loved the feeling of opulence
