After Zayn and Mr. Hyde had parked their cars, they walked towards the auction hall together, chatting happily on the way.
Mr. Hyde said, “Tonight would be the twentieth year that the auction’s been active since its inception. Normally, they hold an auction once a month and the prerequisite for entry is very demanding. Therefore, unless the person is highly reputable and extremely wealthy, they are ineligible to enter.”
“I can tell that,” said Zayn as virtual-novel.net nodded his head.
As they were chatting, they finally entered the auction hall.
The area of the auction hall itself was not that big actually and was just about the size of a basketball court. Furthermore, the decoration it had made it seem more traditional with very few traces of modern electronics. When the both of them arrived, there were already quite a few people in the auction hall as well. However, these people were all rather unfamiliar faces to Zayn.
‘These people seem pretty ordinary and don’t stand out at first glance, but with a closer look, I’m able to realize that these people aren’t as simple as they seem at all. They’ve managed to hide their temperament from the public eye very deeply.’
‘This middle aged man in front of me is a fine example. His slightly chubby physique and smiley face makes virtual-novel.net seem as if he’s a friendly person. However, he’s actually hiding his strength inside and is a formidable person as well.’
‘This young lady is also another fine example. She’s dressed pretty casually and virtual-novel.net emotional eyes make virtual-novel.net seem very sexy. Any ordinary person would think that she’s a housewife at first glance. However, she’s actually an assassin since she’s exuding a faint murderous intent within her, which isn’t obvious unless the person looking at virtual-novel.net has reached a certain level.’
Zayn felt very amused as his eyes continued to scan his surroundings.
At that moment, a voice sounded from behind him, “Hey, isn’t that Mr. Hyde I see over there? What’s brought you here today? You haven’t been in an auction like this for a long time now.”
Zayn then turned around, only to see a matured woman dressed in a purple dress with a thin stick of cigarette in virtual-novel.net mouth. Apart from that, virtual-novel.net had long hair and virtual-novel.net skin was so fair that even a single gust of wind would be enough to make it turn red. Hence, the woman was extremely attractive, coupled with virtual-novel.net seductive smile that could make anyone fall heads over heels for her.
Furthermore, there were a few strong men following behind the woman, they all had a sharp look in their eyes and were all hiding their strength from plain sight.
‘They’re all extraordinary fighters. On the other hand, I’ve seen many beautiful women in my life, but this is the first time I’ve seen a mature woman so attractive. If I really have to describe virtual-novel.net in words, this matured woman is clearly human, yet the temperament virtual-novel.net exudes makes virtual-novel.net seem different, it’s as if she’s cultivated herself into something more than human. Even virtual-novel.net smile and virtual-novel.net each and every move seems unique from a human.’
‘Even I myself, who’s usually firm, can’t stop the vicissitudes in my heart when I first laid eyes on her.’
On the other hand, the woman first looked at Mr. Hyde before leisurely glancing through Zayn, who was not able to attract virtual-novel.net attention at all since the latter seemed very ordinary. In fact, the woman even thought that Zayn was Mr. Hyde’s squire.
When Mr. Hyde saw her, a hint of fear flashed past his eyes, but quickly disappeared. Then, virtual-novel.net revealed a smile and politely said, “Aah, Shaelyn, it’s an honor to meet you.”
Shaelyn took a small step forwards to close the distance between virtual-novel.net and Mr. Hyde. The intense smile virtual-novel.net had on virtual-novel.net lips made the calm old man’s heart pace uncontrollably, forcing virtual-novel.net to fight against his urgest a virtual-novel.net desperately maintained the calm smile virtual-novel.net had on his face.
Shaelyn took a puff of virtual-novel.net cigarette in a lazy posture before spewing out the smoke onto Mr. Hyde. Then, virtual-novel.net smiled happily and said, “Mr. Hyde, you’re a famous figure in Waltz City and also an esteemed guest of Aeolus House. Tell me, what treasure do you have your eyes on this time? If you tell me, I might be able to help you take the express route to that item.”
Shaelyn deliberately emphasized on the word “express route”, coupled with the expression virtual-novel.net had on virtual-novel.net face to allow the listener to imagine what virtual-novel.net meant.
Mr. Hyde coughed for a moment before virtual-novel.net said, “Actually, I’m here as a companion to my Young Master.”
When Shaelyn heard that, virtual-novel.net seemed to be a little shocked as virtual-novel.net said, “Mr. Hyde, does an esteemed person like yourself actually have a Young Master? Where is virtual-novel.net then? Do introduce virtual-novel.net to me!”
‘I already know how strong Mr. Hyde is in Waltz City already, who’s able to make even the slightest tremors in society with a single word. Yet, virtual-novel.net actually has a Young Master? I’ve never heard about this before!’
Mr. Hyde then smiled and said, “My Young Master is literally right in front of you.”
“Where is he?” Shaelyn looked around to search for this “Young Master”. Immediately virtual-novel.net seemed to have realized something as virtual-novel.net gaze finally landed on Zayn, who was beside Mr. Hyde. Then, virtual-novel.net could not conceal virtual-novel.net shock as virtual-novel.net said, “Mr. Hyde, you can’t possibly mean that this man beside you is your Young Master now, could you?”
