Auction House Part One
The castle was even more bustling than before as it was being cleaned, and servants moved about the castle holding baskets full of flowers and adornments. The castle was decorated with garlands, statues, portraits, weapons, horns of magical beasts, candles, Magic Lamps and many other decorative items.Karna and Raka side by side were walking along the passageways and saw the castle being renovated anew."It's like they won a war or something. Why are they doing this?" Karna asked knitting his brows. "No one knows My Lord, '' I asked the servants but even they don't seem to know what the occasion is. Only the higher officials seem to know something but they won't say a word. And it's not polite to snoop around so I didn't insist." Raka said disgruntledly. "You did well, I think all will be revealed in the banquet tomorrow," Karna said. He had a hunch from Ron's words that this was all happening due to the banquet.After a few minutes of walking, Karna arrived near the castle's entranc

Magic Talk With Sophia
The carriage left the castle and began heading toward the city. Sophia was looking at Karna attentively. Karna was very awkward and just kept staring outside the window as he tried to sneak glances from the corner of his eye.Karna wanted to calm himself but he couldn't help but get memorized by Sophia's beauty. Not having any choice, he decided to calm his mind with the breathing technique. He breathed out in a specific pattern as he focused his mind on the sound of his breathing. His mind immediately calmed down and he did not feel any awkwardness anymore.Sophia was also observing Karna, her eyes gleamed for a second when she saw a change in Karna's breathing pattern. "I have heard that you were met with an accident a few years ago. it must have been terrible." Sophia said suddenly as she tried to start a conversation."Yes, I suddenly collapsed back then for an unknown reason. I just recently recovered." Karna said as he looked at Sophia calmly. His previous awkwardness was nowher

Auction House - Part Two
The Leblanc Auction house's building was huge. It was multiple stories high and looked to be the size of an auditorium. It was in the part of the city where the higher class such as rich merchants, city officials, military leaders, and nobles lived. The area was posher and the streets were clean. Unlike other parts of the city, this area was a lot more sophisticated and a lot less chaotic.Two neat and good-looking attendants were welcoming the coming guests at the entrance of the auction house. They wore suit-like outfits and trousers and knew all the mannerisms of the higher society.The two of them did not show much of a reaction when they saw the Zarx Family Insignia on the carriage and kept welcoming the other guests.Sophia observed how 'Rudra' would react and he did not disappoint her. Usually, children of noble households were arrogant and thought that the world only revolved around them. Sophia had certainly seen some of them and so she was relieved when 'Rudra' did not seem

The Auction House - Part Three
The large crowd was beginning to pour into the Auction Hall. Sophia and Karna were just looking at the stage waiting for the Auction to start.Sophia suddenly looked as if she remembered something and looked at Karna."By the way, what did you come here to buy?" Sophia asked, she wanted to know why 'Rudra' who was rumored not to take any part in activities like Auction and Banquets wanted to come to an Auction House today."Spirit Force recovery potions..." Karna blurted out. He had no reason to hide as in a few moments he would be buying the potions in front of everyone anyways.Sophia did not know that Karna wanted a bulk of them so she did not ask why he wanted the potions. The potions were expensive and although buying a few for a 'Young Master' wasn't a big deal but buying a bulk of them was not something anyone could do so nonchalantly.Karna was really not taking the wealth he had seriously, it hadn't dawned on him fully yet that he was literally heir to one of the topmost rich

The Auction Begins!
"Our first item for today's auction is a fabulous painting that we found from the ruins of Cassandra. The 'said-to-be' magically advanced country which existed thousands of years ago but was destroyed and we yet don't know the reason for its demise." The auctioneer lady said in a professional tone. She spoke with a hint of suspense making everyone think of the reason behind the ruined country's demise which then turned into curiosity about the painting itself."This woman is very sly and skilled," Karna exclaimed. He was truly in awe of the women's charming ways.Sophia nodded. She thought that Karna had a good judge of character, and this was true as well. While living in the slums, Karna had to deal with many types of people. Some were ruthless, some were scoundrels and some were vipers. His experience with different people made him a good judge of character.'Clap Clap' The women clapped twice and two servants with tuxedo-like suits came to the stage from backstage with a wheeled

A Desperate Man
The auction continued after the first item which was the painting. Karna was feasting on the snacks as he had nothing to do with any other items. He only wanted the Potions.A few other items like Artistic sculptures, belongings of famous people, rare books, and some random items were auctioned off. Many different people participated. The anonymous person from the VIP room also bought some items."All the beginner items have been auctioned and now we will proceed to the next stage. The more important items will now be presented before all of you." Vilma said."Our first item in this section is the Mana Recovery Potion. The Potions have been tested by our potion masters and alchemists and we guarantee that these potions have a 45% efficacy. The potions will be auctioned in a bunch of 10 bottles in every batch and there are only 12 batches available.""The starting bid is 100,000 Gold Hons for each batch of ten bottles. Let's begin!" Vilma said."110,000!" Someone shouted from one of th

Karna's Ruthlessness
The man decided not to bid more as there was still a chance that he could win the other batches. It would be silly to spend more money on this single batch alone."360,000 ONE!" Vilma announced, she was pretty satisfied with this price."360,000 TWO!" Vilma announced again, her gaze sweeping through everyone writing for someone to raise the price. But no one did."360,000 THREE!" Vilma said and slammed the hammer. Someone promptly came and knocked on the door, Mayra opened the door and a male servant came in with a metallic box that had runes engraved on it."We will have more of these potions, so come again with all the potions that we buy once the potions are all auctioned off," Karma said. The servant nodded and left, leaving behind the box full of potions.When Karna opened the lid, the runes glinted with a slight glow revealing the tightly sealed ten bottles. The material of the bottle was like plastic but the amazing thing was that it was transparent. Meaning that it wasn't frag

Vermesan Steel
Karna then proceeded to acquire all six batches of the potions. The man from before did try to get but no matter how many bids he raised, Karna would bid even more.The others just watched awestruck by the turn of events. All the mercenary groups also wanted the potions but the truth was that not many people needed Spiritual Force Recovery potions as there weren't many people who used Spiritual Force in such high demand as Karna did. When the two madmen started bidding like crazy, it was wise of others to not be stubborn. However, Karna garnered a lot of attention from everyone as he was spending money like water on something like Spiritual Force Recovery Potions."Why did you buy so many?" Sophia asked wide-eyed. "Well, I had a use for them. For training..." Karna answered vaguely.Sophia looked at him suspiciously as of trying to figure him out. Karna felt the awkwardness and tried to change the topic,"Well, should we leave now? we have got what we came for," Karna said. He had f

Spirit Soul Force Manual
Up next, a few more weapons were auctioned off. The special one in them was a bow made of a special kind of wood that had a high affinity with the wood element. The gentleman who at first was trying to get the 'Time-Lass' acquired the bow for a hefty price. After that, some magic items were auctioned off which were more like luxury items to make life easier. Many nobles and highborn ladies were interested in such items and finally, an Earl who had come for Noble's gathering similar to Karna bought a few luxury items. Many others also got a chance to have one thing or another. And with all these items being auctioned off, this particular segment of the auction was also done. And now the time had finally arrived for which everyone was eagerly waiting. The special items for the auction now were about to appear on stage. "The moment is finally here where the most awaited Special Items will now be shown to all of you. These are the most valuable of today's auction and you must not miss

A Scoop
"It's him!" Karna suddenly exclaimed."Who's who?" Sophia asked, she was still somewhat in shock from before. "It's that Brycen guy from the House Carlstine. I remember him well." Karna said. Sophia frowned when she heard of House Carlstine and looked at the VIP room in which the man probably was. 'God damn it! What the hell is his problem?' Karna thought, He needed the Manual at any cost. It was very critical to his progress. Sophia seemed to have understood Karna's concern as she said, "I'm sure he doesn't know that it's us in here." "So he really wants it then?" Karna muttered while knitting his brows. He had a great headache coming in. Although the Zarx family was rich to the point that it was ridiculous, the wealth of a Duke was not to be underestimated. Karna did not want to spend an impossible amount of money. "There's no need to worry My Lord, I don't think the Duke would hand that dimwit a large amount of money. The reason we can afford to spend so much is because of
