Chapter 132: Auction house part 3
Crrekkkk…..
Viktor opened the door and walked closer to the edge of the building. The sun was above their head so the shadows were hiding underneath their shoes. He looked around but saw nobody. But nothing can escape the eyes of a guardian.
There were two people on the rooftop. One was sitting on the tower and the other one was hiding her presence with an invisibility cape right in front of him.
"You can take off the cape now. I can see your sweat dripping from your forehead due to the heat inside."
The lady who was trying to hide removed her cape. She was a bit embarrassed.
"As expected of the North family\'s prodigy. Nothing can escape from your eyes." She then threw two bags near Viktor\'s feet and said, "The potion you just sold on auction, I heard you sold it for 600 million dollars. I am giving you two bags full of rare jade. It\'s worth more than a billion. So how about signing a contract with me? I will pay you 10 million extra for every single dose."
Viktor looked at those bags and saw purple jade shining inside. They were actually rare and probably worth more than billions. But he wasn\'t happy with her behaviour.
It was true that he loved money more than anything in the world, but there was a limitation on his needs.
First of all, he didn\'t want to gain fame or property on earth. He already had enough money and power.
Second, he was on a mission so gaining riches on earth wasn\'t necessary for him.
And the last one was to hide his identity from the guardian of greed for a couple of decades until he became bored.
His goal was to live on earth for as long as he could without any problem and monitor the other guardian.
Viktor kicked away the bag and said, "Let\'s forget each other and act like we are strangers."
The woman became vexed and clenched her teeth. "How dare you disobey the command of mine! Do you know who I am? I can bury your family with just one call."
Viktor\'s expression didn\'t change at all because he wasn\'t feeling it. All he wanted to do was to go back home and sleep until midnight. "Look, lady. I don\'t want to do business with you. And this potion isn\'t going to become something that you casually order online for cheap."
Viktor looked at his phone and saw countless text messages from the sector administrator and the higher-ups. They were all offering a ton of money for a single dose because the results were just out on the internet.
The man who bought the potion used it on his father\'s arm and magically, it grew a new strong arm. The potion became such a big deal on the internet that the server of the deep market almost crashed.
He smiled a little after reading all the text messages and said, "Someone even offered me 3 billion dollars for the product. What makes you think that I will sign a contract with you? Just leave. I want to have some free time."
The lady picked up those two bags and went inside the building. He then took a cigarette out of his pocket and Adonis helped him to light it on fire. The smoke flew past an unknown person who was standing on the edge of the building.
"You can show your face now," Viktor said and exhaled the smoke.
"As expected. You are not an ordinary human." A woman became visible next to him and looked into Adonis\' eyes. "You are not ordinary either. I am sensing a dark but pure aura from you. You\'re a demon, right? It\'s my first time seeing a demon on earth."
Adonis touched his mask and fixed it to hide his face. "Don\'t worry. I jammed the CCTV on the rooftop so nobody can see you unless they come up here."
Adonis took a seat on the edge beside his master and said, "I\'m not going to take off my mask until my master orders me."
Viktor put his phone inside his pocket and took off his mask. He then threw his cigarette butt and said, "I thought you wanted to talk to me. But it looks like you\'re interested in our personal life rather than asking for what you are actually hoping for."
The woman with reddish purple eyes laughed and said, "I am curious about your identity. The potion you sold is not something from the earth. It\'s from the realm of the guardian and it\'s a coincidence that it\'s so similar to my poison cures. Are you a guardian that is hiding in disguise?"
\'She\'s so straightforward. But it looks like she has no intention of harming me. She wanted to become a strong force by joining hands.\'
"Yes. You\'re right. I am a guardian. A criminal on top of that."
"Just as I thought. I am a criminal as well. But what generation are you from?"
Viktor lit another cigarette and said, "Does that matter? But I can assure you that I won\'t harm you. But in exchange, give me the fragment of Midas. Since he messed with my brother, he deserves to be punished, right?"
Viktor\'s grin gave off a cold chill all over her body. She knew who he was talking about so she said, "You\'re….you\'re Elerous Siris. The first criminal on the list."
"You finally figured it out. Since you\'re already so close to me, don\'t even think of running away or using your darn poison magic on me. The day you stepped inside Korea was the last day of your freedom."
He looked at the woman and saw she was shaking in fear. Her eyes were cold and her legs weren\'t moving. They were frozen in fear. "You have two options. One, become my servant and live happily with your fragment intact. Or second, give me your fragment and get out of the country with your freedom. The choice is yours."
The answer was crystal clear to her. But she was so frightened that her mouth was refusing to move. Viktor grabbed her jaw and said, "You nearly messed up my plans by helping Midas to summon the heavenly guardians. He almost died with his fragment. Thank goodness that I gave him a spare espace stone. "
\'I really want to kill her and devour her fragment but she\'s an important aspect of my upcoming plan. I can\'t kill her but I can\'t also let her walk with it. I need…to eat it..\'
Viktor gazed deep into her eyes and she started to foam out of her mouth. Then he realised that he was unknowingly oozing his killing intent from his fragment. Even Adonis was feeling uneasy near him so he climbed above the tower. He was feeling nauseous.
\'Opps.\'
He turned off his killing intent and then Adonis came down. "Master. What should we do with her?"
Viktor glanced at her fragment and saw she was thinking about warning Midas. She didn\'t want to join him so she was figuring a way out of the situation by killing him. He then smiled a little and said, "I am going to take her fragment as planned. She wanted to betray me. So I will do the same."
Viktor grabbed her neck and started to suck her fragment out of his body.
Viktor\'s fragment was different from the other guardians. A guardian can\'t copy or take another\'s fragment and add it to theirs. They don\'t have such ability to do that and also, their fragments do not evolve.
On the other hand, Viktor\'s fragment went through so many back-and-forth situations that his fragment started to change its shape to adapt to the environment. It learned to change, defend and also eat other power to maintain its shape without getting any damage.
Thus, the fragment learned to devour other fragments to become stronger so that nobody could harm it. His fragment became a mixture of so many guardians and took its own form.
The form of hollow that devours any fragment that is available within his grasp.
The fragment of poison wasn\'t that powerful. She was a 10th-generation guardian so her core wasn\'t that big. It went quickly out of his body and made Viktor\'s fragment more powerful. For her fragment, a new set of knowledge opened inside his library.
"Hmm.. she wasn\'t that powerful but her fragment is stronger than Irelika." Viktor stood up and said, "Adonis. Let\'s leave."
"Master. Are you going to leave her just like that?" He looked at her face and saw her sleeping like a pig and drooling.
"She\'s going to be alright. She can use her normal power just like before, but she no longer can\'t use her fragment magic. It\'s a prize for stepping inside my territory and refusing to abide by my orders."
"As you wish, master." He cast a teleportation spell immediately because he sensed a man coming to the rooftop. "Let\'s go, master."
He tied his hair and walked inside the magic circle to leave the building. Their bodies turned into small pixels and vanished immediately.
…
Somewhere in a shopping mall…
Before getting inside the building, both of them changed their clothes and shoes. They were in auction outfits so they thought it might attract attention.
After they changed their outfit to a normal ones, they went inside the shopping mall to buy random things for themselves.
"Adonis, what do you think about this watch?" Viktor asked Adonis who was busy checking the quality of a platinum watch he spotted.
"Oh, it\'s not bad, master. But I don\'t like its dials."
He frowned his eyebrows and said, "Really? I couldn\'t tell. Anyway, what are you picking up today?"
Viktor put his hands on his shoulder and saw a watch that had a diamond on every dial. They were made of mana diamonds so they caught his eyes.
"You have some good eyes, Adonis." Viktor looked at the man behind the table and said, "Hey, what\'s the price of this watch?"
The man smirked and said, "You can\'t buy those. They are the most expensive watches in this store, dear customer. How about I show you the section to the cheap ones?"
Adonis and Viktor stared at that man with annoyed expressions. "Oi, kid. Are you saying that we can\'t afford these?" Adonis looked at Viktor and again said in Vesa language, "Master, can I eat him alive?"
"No, you can\'t-_-. He\'s probably rotten just like this mind-_-."
Viktor again asked him about the price of that watch so the man replied that it was 210 million won. (About $168,180.)
Adonis put down the watch and both of them started to walk out of the store. "They are cheap-_-." Adonis said.
"Right?" Viktor agreed.
\'There\'s no way Adonis would wear them. He might be a knight, but he lives like a king who has more than a trillion dollars worth of riches inside his dimension room.
Well, it\'s my fault that I pay him nearly a billion dollars worth of gold coins per month. I made him a spoiled demon who even hates Patek Philippe. I mean, that\'s the best of the best!! How can you not wear them?
He shook his head and took a box out of his dimension room. "Here you go."
Adonis asked, "What is this, master?"
"Open it."
Viktor walked forward by leaving him behind. He went inside a store to see perfumes and then Adonis walked closer to him with a blue radiant watch in his hand. "Thank you, master. The ones you made are world-class. I can\'t compare them with anything."
He smiled a little and said, "My knight shouldn\'t wear cheap things. He is the chairman of a huge company. So, when you go to your office tomorrow, brag about your watch. I am sure they will feel the amount of mana infused inside the watch."
"I will, master. Thank you so much for this gift."
\'Heheh… that\'s because it\'s your birthday, dummy."
