Chapter 150 - An Unexpected Auction*****Immediately after the call ended, Alex called his two girlfriends to inform them that he would be going out of town the next day.Although tge call was made desperately to the two ladies, they both reacted in the same manner, first dumbfounded, before becoming filled with questions and getting confused.But in the end, they didn’t question Alex at all, thinking that what he was going to do must be very personal.With that, they wished him a safe trip and only asked when he would be back.Once the calls ended, Alex was about to park some necessities for the journey when he received a call from someone whom he had almost forgotten completely.It was from the Old Man, the obsessed old man Pu who had introduced Alex to the idea that there are actually ki cultivators in the mortal world, who are hidden away from the public.He was the one who had wanted to buy his presents for Jewel on her birthday.After returning to his senses from recolle
*****In one of the countless slums in Potter City, there was a massive old building that used to belong to one of the wealthiest and most powerful leaders of Potters City before things changed and the circle of life occurred.According to history, the owner of this building was a benevolent person who despite being powerful enough to own almost everything he wanted in the world decided to build his house in this area which had always been a slum since the beginning of time.Some might ask why he built such an enormous house when he was called a benevolent human being. Actually, it was to house the countless homeless people from all the wakes of lives in the country.This person was so great that even though he had been dead for more than a hundred years already, his status was still very fresh and nice, his iconic history was still being passed down from generation to generation even though it wasn’t being taught in schools, and his building had turned into a tourist center for a
*****“Hey, brother Luke, you look so excited, was it because of those wealthy people whom we’ve never seen before in our lives or because of the first month’s Salary I heard from your mother you just received from your new job?”“Duh… look at you! Hehehe! I’m excited because I’m going to make it big tonight, what does it have to do with me about the wealthy people?”“You… make it big? Are you going to rob a bank?”“Yes, brother Luke, are you going to rob a bank? If not, you have to carry your brothers with you as well!”“Me, rob a bank… nah… Nah, I will never do such a thing ““Then what are you up to? How are you going to make it big?”With that, the young man who had made a bet with Alex suddenly pointed in Alex’s direction, telling his friends who had just arrived about the bet he just made with him.“Argh!!! Brother Luke, why didn’t you call me about such a great goody?”“Fuck you brother Luke, and I took you as my number one brother in arms!”They were all immediately o
***** Chuckling to himself, Alex returned to the building.But before he entered again, he asked about the Old man who told him to come wait for him here, and he was told that something had come up which was why the old man was late, but he called in advance to allow him, Alex enter.“Oh…”Already understanding the second part, Alex finally entered, and then he began to appreciate the ancient building, while at the same time being amazed by all the people entering.“To think that this large number of cultivators exists in this mortal world,” he sighed the more he felt the ki brimming within the people entering and exiting.By now, Alex no longer took seriously what his master had left him about his world lacking cultivators because that was an obvious lie.Although most of them are not that powerful and lack the potential to be, at the end of the day, they are still cultivators.…..Looking at the place now, it resembled a mansion of ancient days, with all sorts of grand hal
*****“It’s okay.”Still smiling slightly, Alex finally opened his mouth and behaved dismissively, acting as if he didn’t feel the tension in the atmosphere or how shocked everybody was at the moment.“Thank you, young master.”The old man who for unknown reasons decided to make Alex’s identity as an extraordinary person known bowed his head once again, then acting as if he also couldn’t feel everybody’s shock, he introduced the two people behind him.“Sir, this person here is my granddaughter, and the one there is my son.”“Hello, sir. My father has mentioned a lot about you,” the middle-aged man who was pointed to walked forward and smiled slightly at Alex.Although he sounded respectful, the curiosity in his eyes as he tried to judge Alex was visible for Alex to see, but despite this, Alex acted as if he saw nothing, returning the man’s greeting.“It is nice to meet you,” he shook the middle-aged man’s outstretched hand and then subconsciously glanced at the cold beauty behi
*****“We welcome everybody to this once-in-a-lifetime auction.”Immediately this voice sounded, all gazes went towards the platform.While the trio, including everybody else in the other rooms, were busily discussing and doing their thing, a short man with a smile on his fresh face who was dressed in a black tuxedo appeared.“Young master, please have your seat,” The old man quickly invited Alex to one of the chairs in the middle which Alex accepted with a nod of appreciation.With that, the Old Man sat on the second chair in the middle and had his son sit beside him, leaving the still-arrogant and anger-filled girl to sit on the chair next to Alex.“Grandfather!” she gritted her teeth with all the muscle in her mouth as she spat this out quietly, then glaring ferociously at Alex and her grandfather, the lady sulkily went to the chair next to Alex and sat.But throughout her act, none of the three inside the room with her noticed, why? Because all their attention was now on the
******Immediately after the auction closed, Alex became restless and started pacing about.As for the Old man and his family, they dared not speak, especially the old man’s son and granddaughter, they even dared not to suggest leaving.This was even more so for the lady whose heart still refused to calm down even at this moment.With that, a heavy atmosphere gradually descended into the cabin and started making the trio with Williams nervous.But just as the heavy atmosphere was about to become unbearable, the door to their cabin was knocked, and instantly, Alex rushed over to open it.It was a beautiful woman in her mid-thirties who was dressed in a red chengsong currently standing there respectfully with her head bowed.Feeling the door opening, the lady raised her head. “I’m asked to invite the master here over.”Her voice was like the tune of a fairy which was embedded with a calming effect.It not wasn’t only calm, it was elegant, but that was before she heard what Alex
*****“Master, you sure you don’t want to run a background check on that person?”After Alex left, the old man and his disciple returned to their temporary lounge, and ever since then, as if the saber he had just gotten was his lifeline treasure, the old man started giving it gazes filled to the brim with infatuation and adoration.It was as if he had never seen something like that before, and it would even make sense if he decided to sleep on the same bed with the saber.Upon hearing his disciple’s words, the Old Man gently swiped the surfaces of the saber and after some unwillingness, he tore his gaze away from the saber and gazed up at his disciple’s face.“You think we should run a background check on that person?”He asked with his face completely blank and nobody able to know what he was thinking.“Yes, master.” The woman who likewise didn’t know what her master was thinking nodded her head seriously while thinking in her mind. ‘Wasn’t that what we normally do to people th
