Bryce found a place in Ghost Town and sat there all night.
The next day.
The city became more tense. There were many guards on patrol.
The guards wore uniforms that read "Darkness".
The stalls that filled the streets yesterday are nowhere to be seen. Organisation Leader
Darkness had ordered that no stalls be open on the day of the annual auction.
In just one night, all the booths had been cleared from the streets. The reputation of the head of the Dark Organisation in Ghost City was undoubted.
The auction only started at noon, but there were already many people entering the venue in the morning.
Bryce followed them and entered the auction house.
The first thing Bryce saw was the large stage at the far end of the place. The stage was used to display auction items.
Behind the platform, there was a small room whose door was closed by a curtain.
The guest area is divided into two parts. There is plenty of seati
When the old man finished speaking, the people cheered."Let's get straight to the point. Let's start the first round of the auction. Bring that pill."When the cheering was over, the old man continued.Then, the staff members pushed some cages covered with black cloth onto the stage.The staff member pulled the black cloth. There are people inside each cage.They are locked in a cage with their hands and feet bound."There were ten pills this year. Five of them are of low quality. Four are medium quality, and one is high quality. The price starts at fifty kilograms of gold. The auction starts now." The old man explained.The currency in this auction is gold. This has been a standing rule for many years.So, people who intend to bid will bring a lot of gold.After hearing the old man's words, everyone looked very enthusiastic."There are high-quality pills this year. I've seen pills like that for years.""I remember ten years ago, there was a pillwith outstanding quality in the aucti
The crowd was surprised when they heard the name Spirit Strengthening Herb.In the past, in Ayretown, the Spirit Strengthening Herb plant was a lush and abundant plant. However, for some reason, it suddenly became extinct.The plant has not been seen for many years."I don't think I need to explain about this Spirit Strengthening Herb. Surely you know that it serves as a spiritual wound healing medicine. The Dark Organisation only has one Spirit Strengthening Herb. If you fail to obtain this plant, you will never be able to find it again."This auction is a closed auction. Each bidder is required to hand over valuables to me.I will then give the valuables to the person in charge of this auction for evaluation. He will determine which valuables have the highest value. The owner of that precious item will win this Spirit Strengthening Herb."I hereby announce that you are free to choose whether you will participate in this auction voluntarily
"I want to bid on a secret book of martial arts. May I have a pen and paper? I want to write that book." Bryce said with a smile.Bryce did not have any valuables with him. So, he decided to write a book of martial arts secrets and make it his prized possession.Bryce remembered many secret martial arts techniques. He had mastered medical skills as well as martial techniques from the martial arts and healing heirlooms he had learnt long ago.All the martial arts techniques Bryce knows are top-notch.People who see the martial arts technique will definitely be surprised. The martial arts technique eventually became the target of martial arts champions.Therefore, even if Bryce only wrote down the lowest-level martial arts techniques in the book, its value would be much higher than other people's valuables.Upon hearing Bryce's words, the people around him looked at him with disdain."What kind of martial arts technique are you going to
With a smile on his face, Bryce Grant Milano got off an online taxi, and stepped into the top-class building."I'm proud of my wife. Veronica has managed to become a successful woman. The company she led experienced a golden age and reached a glorious peak. I’m so in love," Bryce muttered. The man has been married to Veronica Carter for two years."Be careful if you walk you spill my drink," scolded a woman as Bryce nudged her."Oh, Arelyn. Sorry, I just came to pick up my wife," he responded. Bryce recognised her as his wife's secretary, Arelyn."It's a good thing this flower is okay. Veronica will be happy to see this." Bryce had ordered a bouquet as a special surprise."Don't joke around. That cheap bouquet would only be an insult to Miss Carter," said Arelyn shaking her head with a slight laugh. Her tone seemed much colder."Let's make things quicker and easier. Mr Milano, please sign the document right now."A confused Bryce immediately asked, "Arelyn, what is this document?"The
Bryce could see that Veronica was even uncomfortable with the situation.The hand clenched in the air and then stretched out on its own. Bryce also released the collar of the man he was holding. But when he was caught off guard, the man managed to throw a counter punch.It made Bryce stagger just a few steps in front of his wife. Everyone gasped at the unexpected situation, including Veronica.Bryce slowly got up while trying to tidy up his clothes, which were already dishevelled and looked dirty from the fight. The security there also responsively separated the two."Veronica, do you want a divorce from me?" Bryce replied by giving a pitiful look.Veronica, who saw Bryce's innocent face, felt hesitant, but she immediately looked away, not to look weak or affected by the situation.She did not answer his question at all. Instead, she wandered around and looked for someone to take charge of everything."Arelyn, I only gave you a simple task, but why did things get messy ?" Veronica sai
"Ah, I can handle this shit. I guess it’s time to go."Bryce left the building in his clothes while carrying the necklace. But there was something he didn't realise. A black car was suddenly seen entering and speeding away.Bruck!Bryce staggers and falls backwards. The small incident didn't seriously injure him, but it was enough to dislocate his bones.Slowly, the car lights faded, as the driver turned off the engine. The car doors opened up automatically, and two people stepped out of there."Mum, Mate, what are you here for?" Bryce slowly got up and greeted them as if the incident had not happened.A fashionably dressed man and woman with an arrogant and cruel gaze and no guilt at all walked over. Bryce recognised the woman as Lexy Rivera, his mother-in-law, while the man was Veronica's brother Levi Riviera.Slap!"Stop pretending to be nice to me," sneered Lexy with a disgusted look."Mum, why did you slap me?" asked Bryce in confusion.Instead of getting an answer, Lexy threw ou
Bryce immediately picked up the call without waiting any longer. The voice heard from the unknown call was the sweet voice of a woman."Hello, am I talking to Mr Bryce Milano?"Bryce was now curious. Many questions crossed his head. He didn't feel like he recognised the woman's voice, but strangely, she even knew Bryce's full name."Yes, I am Bryce. But is it okay to know who I'm talking to now?"Bryce was seen turning around and stepping away while talking on the phone. It made Levi and Lexy curious as to who the man was calling."I'm Tamara. I know you have a lot of questions right now, but trust me, I can answer anything that crosses your mind right now. Meet and come to me, then you will know everything. But before that, I also need your help. Think of it as an equal exchange."As Bryce heard the sentence from the woman, he became even curious."Well, you can assume that I agree to your offer. But what can I do? At least tell me what things you want from me," Bryce responded to fe
"You bastard! How dare you throw your despicable hand in my face," Levi replied angrily.Lexy, who saw her son get hit, felt upset. The woman said, "Bryce, how dare you. You dare to hit my son. You will get what you deserve."Levi and Lexy were honestly very surprised by Bryce's actions. They knew that even if Bryce were bullied, the man would never retaliate with violence."Mum, I'm sorry, but I can't wait any longer. Rubbish men like Bryce will go downhill if left unchecked. I'm going to retaliate directly with my hand to let men like him know where they stand," Levi said with a hateful look.Bryce was still silent there, the man staring at the two with a contemptuous look. He even did not reply to a single word of the words thrown at him.The man calmly watched as Levi clenched his fists and stepped forward, trying to attack him. Although Levi's movements looked quite skilful for an amateur, in a split second, Bryce seemed to be able to see the pattern the man would take so that he
