While 'Kayla' and Grace had been caught off guard by the sudden attack, Luke had been prepared for this possibility. Like he had initially suspected, she did hide a knife behind her back, and she was aiming for his jugular. He caught her wrist and forced her to drop the knife. Then he maneuvered her so her arm was twisted behind her back, and she was facing away from him.
"Let go," she demanded as she flailed around, trying to break free from his grip, but to no avail.
"And let you try to stab me again? I don't think so," he said.
In the time all of this happened, 'Kayla' and Grace remained behind him, as they weren't sure what to do. Well, he was more inclined to believe the latter was unsure of what she should do. For the former, she probably figured that he had everything covered and didn't even try after she had quickly recovered from the surprise attack. It was better that way, as they would have probably gotten in the way, and she might have escaped.

At his words, Luke nodded his consent. Samuel turned to walk back into the room, and Luke released Jessica, who ran towards her father while throwing death glares at them the whole time. He ignored this, as she deserved it for picking a fight with them, even though he had not raised a single hand against her except in self-defense.The trio followed them inside and studied their new surroundings. It was clearly an office, but whether or not it was the man's actual office was uncertain. Luke was inclined to believe it was just one of the many meeting rooms Samuel used to conduct business instead of his real office. After all, he had no reason to trust them and give them access to his private areas, even if they were valuable customers.Samuel motioned with his head at his daughter, who understood the unspoken instructions and ran off. He took a seat behind the desk, leaving the trio to take a seat on the couches. Luke sat on one couch, while 'Kayla' and Grace took the o

This time it got Grace's attention. One hundred gold pieces definitely had to be a large number. Luke was basically asking for one hundred times the amount the man had offered. She couldn't believe he could demand such a large amount. There was no way the man would accept the deal, and she wondered what Luke was thinking.Without missing a beat, Samuel said, "I'm afraid that's not possible. I can raise the price to five gold pieces at most.""Let's be honest here," said Luke as he stood up and approached the desk. Jessica tensed, ready to react if he tried anything funny. 'Kayla' and Grace reacted in the same way. "We both know how valuable mana stones are. They're priceless. What I'm asking for is actually cheaper than what I can actually get on the black market."Hearing that one hundred gold pieces for one mana stone was cheap nearly made Grace faint. She wished she knew how currency in this world worked. None of them had to worry about money before, as every
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Entering the Black Market (1)
'Kayla' ended up nodding off as she waited for them to finish the negotiations, while Grace couldn't shake the tension out of her body. It felt as if something bad would happen the moment she relaxed. She wished she could be as easygoing as 'Kayla' was or be as confident as Luke. It was still hard to believe that the two of them would think so highly of her.It didn't make any sense. She wasn't an angel turned human or a human turned demon king who went back in time to redo everything for the sake of revenge. It was only because of Luke that she even got the chance to be a Saintess. No matter what he said, she couldn't imagine what her counterpart was like or think of even matching up to her.Thinking about how he talked about her counterpart or how his eyes seemed to gaze off to a time she wasn't a part of made her heart ache. He had been the one to approach her and make her feel safe. Even if it was only because of her counterpart, he had been her anchor this entire
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 70: Entering the Black Market (2)
When they stepped through, the trio found themselves in shock at what they saw. It was a literal market, with numerous people bustling around to examine some of the wares. Instead of shady people trying to sell items secretly for money, they saw vendors proudly selling their wares for everyone to see and to make a decision.This was completely different from what they had been expecting. They had anticipated being ushered quietly into their designated seating before the auction began based on Luke's past life and how the black market was protrayed in their old home. Samuel even said the black market was only for the select few, so how did that explain the crowded market.Realizing that Samuel hadn't stopped moving, they quickly followed after him, making sure not to lose him in the crowd. It would be bad if they ended up getting separated and having to navigate themselves in an unknown place. They stumbled their way through the people until they entered an alleyway.
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 71: Buying Items From the Black Market (1)
Whatever they had been imagining, this wasn't it. All of them had imagined that a black market would look like something else as long as it wasn't a market, despite the word being in there. If they didn't know any better, they would have thought they had stumbled upon a small market in the middle of nowhere. However, they all knew better or at least Luke did.Grace, on the other hand, looked on in undisguised interest at what they were doing while 'Kayla' appeared bored out of her mind. She obviously wanted the trip to be over already and was counting down the minutes until they returned back to the castle."Are you sure we're in the right place?" asked 'Kayla'."I assure you that is indeed the right place," said Samuel.Grace quickly asked her own question. "Why are they setting up?".He gave her a blank look before saying, "We're early. They haven't finished setting up yet.""What do you mean they're not done setting up?" demanded 'Kayla'
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 72: Buying Items From the Black Market (2)
Luke had never expected to see it here of all places. To think he would find a primitive globule here at the black market. It wasn't something people would think of selling or keeping for themselves. Most people regarded it as waste or garbage, but that was because no one currently knew what it was or its true worth. That was something Grace had discovered far into the future after studying it despite not being a mage.The owner eyed them before saying, "One gold piece."'Kayla' hissed at the price while Grace's eyes widened and Luke countered, "That's too much. Give it to me for 500 bronze pieces.""500 bronze pieces? You must be mad if you think you can get any item at that price," the man barked. "90 silver pieces.""I'm not spending that much money on something I plan on giving to one of the girls as a souvenir." He could feel 'Kayla' glaring at the back of his head, which he ignored. "800 bronze pieces.""You obviously don't know how much effo
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 73: Auction (1)
"The auction should be starting soon. We should head over there now," Luke said."But where are we supposed to go?" Grace asked.That was a good point. He hadn't thought to ask Samuel when the auction was going to start and where it was located before they went off to explore the black market. The man hadn't offered up the information either. Luke wondered if this was done on purpose. If that was the case, he was going to have several words with the man about keeping information."Well, this is going really well," 'Kayla' observed dryly.Luke shot her a look, which she returned. Grace managed to keep a fight from breaking out by asking, "Do you think we can ask someone?""That won't work," Luke said as he looked away from 'Kayla'. "Remember, the auction is for VIPs only. They wouldn't spread the information to just anyone."Grace's shoulder drooped as she asked, "So if we ask some of the guards, they won't tell us?""Exactly," he said
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 74: Auction (2)
Realistically, Luke knew that the six items he was looking to get wouldn't be the only items in the auction, but he still found himself tapping his foot with his arms crossed as he waited impatiently for the items to appear. That wasn't to say the other items weren't good, they just weren't up to par for what he was looking for. After several items had been auctioned off, he finally saw the first item on his list.A simple looking sword was wheeled up to the stage as the announcer said, "Here we have Soulflare, a weapon that used to belong to a hero from long ago. It was bestowed upon him by the angels before becoming lost after his death. It's with great luck that we managed to get our hands on this item. We will start the bidding at 10 gold."Immediately, people started bidding. They will most likely keep it for decoration if they didn't end up using it themselves. Of course, the chances of someone being able to use it if they were not a hero were low. The natives co
