Director Kurnich adjusted her glasses before she continued. "Prior to joining Root Genesis, I was once a student in White Diamond Institute's Magi-Beastiary Department." "But even without that, it is common public knowledge that a Haunt Gate closing has nothing to do with the extraction of its relic core, but rather the rift depth index." Several patrons nodded in agreement with the logical fact that had just been pointed out. Yet despite the shift in public sentiment, Eloise remained perfectly calm. She finally addressed the major source of doubt. "Just like the mana fruits that were introduced earlier, this Gate Key is a treasure that defies established logic." Amidst her speech, Eloise snapped her fingers. Less than a dozen seconds following this somatic gesture, two auction staff wheeled in a flat wooden vertical object onto the stage. Shaped like a cardboard, the object was as tall as an adult male and possessed the width of two well fed adults combined. Under the intense g

Weng! Following this sound, a resplendent ray of spotlight showered down on the elevated podium. All the patrons who were seated at the grand auction hall collectively went silent while their gaze trailed towards the source of the commotion. "On behalf of Jingle Wood Auction House, I am pleased to welcome you all to the serving and final Phase of the auction event." As soon as this announcement left her lips, the female Auctioneer stepped out into full view. Unlike Mei who served as the Auctioneer for the first phase, the current Auctioneer sported silver colored hair styled in elegant braids. Even while sporting an unbuttoned tailored Le Smoking jacket over a silver colored dress-shirt-blouse hybrid. Her trousers were high waisted and wide-long. And with every forward stride she took, her heels clicked softly against the tiles of the podium surface. While Mei exuded an aura of elegance when she acted as the Auctioneer, the current Elois oozed pure feminine confidence. Her elect

"Are you really serious?" "You mean to tell me this token serves as the gateway to a White Gate?" "A White Gate with zero native Fiends, but an untouched nebula vein and an intact relic core?" Whether it was Veronica or Mei, both ladies found it difficult to process what they just heard from Henri. At the same time, they cast doubtful looks towards the Snow Haunt Cipher that was placed on the table.Mei leaned closer while she gulped heavily. "Not to mention, you claim the White Gate won't close unless the relic core is extracted?" Even while asking this question, Mei couldn't help but inwardly laugh at just how absurd the concept sounded. While she was only in her twenties, her rich experience and knowledge completely eclipsed that of her peers. She had bore witness to divine phenomens and unearthed peerless treasures. Yet, this was the first time learning about the function of a Gate Key presented to her by Henri. The mere thought of such an object existing had never even cro

A warm smile blossomed across Mei's lips once Henri accepted her suggestion. "Young Master King is truly generous and very admirable." Henri huffed inwardly. 'Generous?' 'Did you seriously expect me to chase you out of your own establishment?' Once again, Henri perfectly masked his inner thoughts with a polite smile. At the same time, intrigue sparked across his grey colored eyes. "Generous? I have no idea what you mean by that." 'Heh.' Mei clicked her tongue when she heard this. 'Feigning humility huh? He really is like that other Casato scions!' Mei pursed her lips. "The last time we met, you generously gifted me with crates of mana fruits." She continued. "Thanks to your act of generosity, I was able to put on that show from earlier." "I see.." Henri finally understood the point Mei was trying to make. Earlier during the initial start of the first phase of the auction event, Mei had gifted every patron who were present, a single mana fruit. Due to her "act of generosity",

Weng! Henri had barely changed into a set of the brand new designer clothes crafted from microthread stellarium weave, when the silver screen that was blank, suddenly lit up with activity. "It's about to start." Henri's eyes roamed toward the live-feed of the auction hall that was being broadcasted on the silver screen. Previously, Mei announced that the event would be going on s short break. It would seem the short break was now over. "Chiron, you said I only have ten thousand dollars left in my bank account?" while he made himself comfortable on the sofa inside th private lounge, Henri's eyes remained fixed on the silver screen. Break? If his suspicion was correct, Henri was certain starting from this moment onwards, all of the items that would be auctioned off were bound to be anything like the ones sold off during the first phase of the auction event. The Short break was obviously an excuse made up by Jingle Wood Auction House to give the attending patrons enough time to s

—[ !! Congratulations! Player has completed a Mystery Quest !!]—[ Player has obtained Mystery Quest Rewards.]As soon as Henri exited the White Haunt Gate, he glanced sharply toward the silver screen responsible for displaying a live feed of the auction. His eyes landed on the blank screen, which caused a smile to form across his lips. "I made it on time." As soon as Henri settled down on the comfy couch, he directed his gaze towards the entrance of the private lounge. He clicked his tongue in satisfaction when he saw the two Devas from the Vanguard Enforcement Corp who stood guard with stoic diligence. "If someone were to suddenly barge in, I can only imagine the kind of thoughts they'd have if they see my current appearance." Henri eyes swept past the haggard state of his clothes. Due to thr skirmish he went through at the first floor of the White Haunt Gate, the fabrics of his clothes were currently hanging by a thread—literally to the point where one wrong move could result i
