Chapter 9: Black Auction Entry

At night, the theme park Mishuram changes from the bustle of daytime to a different scene.

It's not that it becomes cold and bleak - it's a little more elegant in the pompous.

The crowds of tourists on the streets are gone, hurrying back to the hotel for a nice dinner or staying in the beach baths and bathrooms. Occasionally, you will pass by one or two solo tourists, or couples and families of three.

"Thinking about what's going to happen next...... I always feel that this scene is a bit ironic. Looking at the mansion by the lake that was full of luxury, Heliga whispered to Levi beside him, "The calm before the storm is always truly quiet...... Don't you think so? ”

"What's that...... That kind of pretentious line is not your style. LΓ©vi smiled wryly, his facial muscles aching from the mask, "The old woman...... Where is this mask comfortable. ”

"I just think this kind of line is also very appropriate for the occasion...... But it's really embarrassing if no one is watching......" Helliga scratched his head embarrassedly, it was just his whim, "Give me your mask." ”

"No." LΓ©vi did as he was told. He watched as Heliga took the metal mask, a faint glimmer of light on his hand. He then handed Levi the mask, which didn't look like it had changed.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It's amazing, there's no uncomfortable feeling anymore. Levi was amazed at the change in his mask, "How?" ”

"It's infused with a little magic to transform the surface metal into something less unpleasant to the touch...... Of course, this change will quickly disappear as the mana is lost. ”

"Yes......" Levi nodded, in understanding.

"Let's go...... The show is about to begin. Since you're here, don't miss it......"

The auction will be held at Speaker Harutman's large villa on the outskirts of the autonomous region – more appropriately a villa than a lavishly decorated estate. The lawns and flower beds are undoubtedly carefully maintained by master gardeners, and every plant and tree exudes life. The delicate marble floors that line the corridors are nothing short of spectacular, and the statues and fountains that dot the lawns are undoubtedly the work of the masters. The main body of the house is a bit like the castle of an ancient empire, and with all the advantages of a modern house, there is no doubt that such a location is completely in line with Harutmann's position in the city of Crossbell.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ However, the lackeys of "Rubacher" standing at the door are a bit of a sparkle to say...... "Looking at the two mafia members standing in front of the door with their hands in front of the door, which is incompatible with all this beautiful scene, Heiliga felt that something beautiful was shattered in his mind.

"Hmph...... And the feeling of the owner of this house is inexplicably similar. Levi snorted coldly, meaning something. Indeed, isn't the mafia member of the beautiful manor like the political cancer of Speaker Harutman taking root in the pearl-like city of Crossbell?

"Welcome to the Underground Auction...... Please present your invitation card and voucher. As soon as they reached the door, the two mafia members said in a somewhat weak voice. It seems that there are indeed a lot of guests, so that both of them have become numb.

"Okay." Heiliga smiled under her mask without hesitation, handing the golden rose card.

"No problem...... after carefully examining the golden card, the two mafia members nodded, "For the sake of caution, can I ask your name?" And also...... It's a bit rude, but the mask ......"

"Ah...... I'm Francis Gotti from the "Emerald City" of Ballihat, and I'm representing the owner of the family who has no time to take a break. The man next to me is my butler and bodyguard. Heliga pretended a false identity, and consciously or unconsciously showed the two of them the token that his father had given him to represent the circle of friends of Count Gotti, "As for why you wear a mask...... Well, that's a bit hard to talk about......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The young master of our family went on a blind date with the daughter of a viscount's family a few days ago, and there was some unpleasantness. Levi also began to act on the script that had been discussed a long time ago, "Because the eldest lady will also appear at this auction, and the young master is more afraid of life, so ......"

"Shut up." Helriga turned her head angrily and said viciously.

"Ah...... Let's get it. The two mafia members hurriedly said, and the lazy and lazy appearance just now was gone-Speaker Harutman had a very close relationship with the empire, how could "Rubacher", as his lackey, dare to be disrespectful to the nobles of the empire, especially the big nobles in the circle of the public capital? Now seeing that the noble young master was quite unhappy, the two of them didn't dare to ask more, and hurriedly retreated to make way for a way: "Then, two gentlemen, please enjoy tonight's auction." ”

Haliga feigned annoyance, glared at Levi fiercely, and strode into the venue on his own. Levi bowed slightly apologetically to the two men and trotted into the room.

"Poof...... Hahahahaha...... "In the corner of the huge venue, where the guests didn't notice, Levi and Helliga held on to the wall and laughed, especially Helliga, tears were about to burst out of laughter, "Comrade Levi, the acting skills are good, the image of this stupid butler has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people......"

"Ah...... Your acting skills are also good, at that moment I really thought you were some kind of innocent young master. Levi had recovered from his out-of-control laughter, "But in this way, the two of us didn't make any movement when we entered......

"yes...... Counting the time, it's almost time for the auction to begin...... The Dead Fat Pig President should be on the floor to speak later...... Hmm......" As she spoke, Heiliga suddenly felt a feeling of discomfort in her chest, and couldn't help but cover her chest.

"What's wrong?" The slightest movement didn't escape Levy's eyes.

"I don't know...... Strange, I suddenly felt a little uncomfortable just now. His body had returned to normal, but the sudden discomfort he felt just now was not his delusionβ€”Haliga looked around suspiciously, and didn't notice anything wrong.

"......" Levi was also puzzled, but he didn't say anything more. He could see that the confusion on Heliga's face was real.

"Ladies and gentlemen...... The organizers of this auction have come to greet everyone. At this moment, in the center of the room, which had been cleared out of the huge space, the meticulously dressed old man bowed to everyone, and then stepped back.

Then, the appearance of two figures caused a commotion at the scene.
