After the special event ended, some people left the auction house with a deflated look. It seems like they’ve lost a lot. Many guests could be seen taking a seat, waiting for the next item to be auctioned. Roy was in the seventh private box with a beautiful woman on each side. Their allure was ignored. He was sitting in silence, but because he had a thoughtful look on his face, Arlo could tell that he was thinking about something. ‘I already have a runic stone of invisibility. I haven’t used it…-

(The previous two chapters has been fixed! Sorry for the mistake!) The crowd that bore witness to his failure started commenting. Someone pointed at the rocks scattered on the table and laughed, “Oh My God, they are all just pieces of trash! He lost 100k in a single day. His luck is like dog’s shit!” “With luck like that, it’s a surprise he still has a family that supports him and money to spend.” “I bet his family wealth is running dry because of him.” Roy could also be seen pointing…

In about an hour, Alfonso used eloquent words to sell many techniques, elixirs, and items to the guest in the auction house. Then, Gaynor came up to him and whispered something into his ears. Whatever he heard certainly affected him. Roy saw Alfonso’s eyes widening to the size of a saucer. Tables were quickly placed on the stage. Each of them had hundreds of stones. Some were round, some triangular. But in the end, there didn’t seem to be anything special about them. “Dear guests, we’ll be…

Hearing his words, the crowd laughed and jeered at Donovan. This was like adding an insult to injury for Donovan. Fire! Donovan was set ablaze once again by Roy Badulf Baldwin. This time, it was as if he was being flayed. His skin and face turned red like a ripe tomato, and his body trembled like a belly dancer. Before Donovan could come up with a reply, Alfonso intervened, “Enough! I ask you two to stop arguing. Those who fail to comply will be asked to leave. And they will be banned from entering…

Roy ignored the weird glances thrown his way. He was in a world of his own, lost in deep thoughts. ‘Chaos managed to transform them into its sword and ice. I should be able to do it too. But it’s just that this time, they won’t be causing destruction and helping Chaos grow. They will be following my orders to prevent doomsday. They will work for me and the good of the world and destroy the temples of Chaos, kill its servants and believers and eradicate all signs of its existence in Far…

Alfonso could be seen on the stage. He was facing the guests. “I’m glad to announce that I will be doing the honor of hosting you today. Nobles and Merchants, I welcome you to the first auction of the Jade Branch. I hope we will all act civilly and get along. You may know what’s to be auctioned today. If you don’t, you can get a list delivered to you by the servers. So… I will skip the boring part of listing out the categories of items we’ll be auctioning today and start the auction.” He…

This could be counted as the first time he bullied others. And when he saw them suppressing their anger instead of finding trouble with him, he felt at ease. He tauntingly beamed at them. ‘That’s what you get for shamelessly making a woman your daughter’s age uncomfortable with your disgusting gaze, old bastards.’ That’s what his look told them. He was asking to be punched. Yet, it’s because he was accompanied by a dragon no one dared to offend that he was acting so…

The Fierce Sword Count and his brother had a good friendship going on with Count Constantine. These two counties were in the north. Trades between them took place regularly. And they fought side by side in the war twenty years ago. Thus, when they found out what his youngest son had been through, they invited him to stay in their house and promised that they would get him escorted back to his home. When the count came to meet Julian, Roy was treated as empty air by the Count. But he treated the red-eyed…

This scene was mystical but also gave off a horrifying feeling. A breath was taken. It entered his body through his nostrils and mouth. And then he could feel some kind of a superpower infusing with his body. Immediately, Roy’s body heated up so much that warm air gushed out with him as the center, blowing away the ones who weren’t expecting it and fluttering the clothes of characters like Arlo, Vizards, and all the truly strong ones. Under their gaze, he started going through genetic changes. The…

At the sight of the soul shard laying still in Roy’s hands, the onlookers by the window had their jaws dropping and their eyes protruding to such a point that they threatened to pop out of their sockets. “W-what?!” “It evaded all of us like a plague and rushed into his grasp out of its own choice. Ridiculous!” he was unable to accept it. “Why did it choose an unawakened over us?” he too found it hard to believe. Their scorching gazes were directed at Roy. At the moment, they looked no…
