The Author Is Speechless

A few days ago in Germany.

"Ms Cassy, the product you made has successfully been added to the list of this month's auction." A man in a black suit came inside the room with a tablet in his hand and put it on the table. "Do you want me to book a flight to South Korea? The auction will be held in 3 days."

The woman who was sitting on the chair tapped her tobacco pipe on the ashtray and said, "Yes. Have you found any information about Andrew? "

"I'm afraid not, miss. We tried to locate him but his moments are so unpredictable. And I believe he already changed his identification. We can't find anything anywhere."

The man took a piece of paper and said, "However, we did find some suspicious activities on a gaming platform called 'The Hive' after looking through the servers by this particular username 'Mind-Gapper'. It's a platform that only hybrids use. This user has exchanged money to buy information about this month's auction several times. It's a game that has a connection with the deep market of South Korea." The man gave her the piece of paper and left the room after wishing her a good afternoon.

The woman leaned to her chair and looked at the small piece of paper. The paper looked like it was purchased from the deep market and it contained information on the user called Mind gapper.

"That Midas, a piece of shit sure knows how to leave people for his own benefits. I know that you're targeting Elesis's younger brother, but you should know that he's also targeting you. He might sound like an innocent baby but he's a God candidate. He might have been careless back then but I am sure he is not anymore. He should be careful or else he might think of you as his enemy and kill you on the spot."

She looked at her phone and saw the time had already reached 6. The evening sunlight entered through the window and fell on her sparkling reddish-purple eyes. She looked at the sun and thought, 'How long do you intend to play this hide-and-seek game with the heavenly guardians? I am sure there is an end and it's very soon even if we don't surrender to Elerous. I guess I need to find him.'

She took her phone and left the office room after finishing her tobacco.

That night, her secretary sent her an email and she was astonished to see it. It was the list of April's auction house products and a product that caught her eye. It was a healing product. 'I am familiar with healing potions because I am the guardian of poison. I know how to make poison and its cure because if someone makes poison, it's mandatory to prepare its cure too. And after reading about its healing effects, I am sure that it was prepared by a guardian. Not a human. So there is a living guardian on earth.'

She paid the deep market 60 million dollars to know who made the potion and found out that it was a young man named Viktor North. His handsomeness was on another level so she became more sure that it was a guardian. Because no human can't be that spotless. Moreover, his background was also empty, which raised her suspicion.

'Midas doesn't have any reason to attain a school. Moreover, he doesn't need to hire a servant to accompany him 24 hours a day. I am sure he isn't Midas in disguise but someone else. Someone who's a powerful and dangerous guardian to be exact.'

She stood up and walked closer to her closet to pack her luggage. Because she needed to catch a flight in the very morning.

The next day.

"Ah…the sun is really shining bright in Germany. I want to move to a cold place where it snows every month."

Her assistant cleared his throat and said, "Miss Cassy, the private jet is ready to take off. Please put on your seat belt."

She looked at the man who was sitting beside her. He was trying not to show his emotions but he was scared. His hands were cold and they were trembling.

"Are you okay, Ferlo? Do you want me to heal you?"

"No madam. I am alright."

"Okay then, suit yourself."

After a few hours, they reached Incheon international airport. The airport was crowded, probably for the upcoming auction. All of them were foreigners and most of them were also from Europe and other countries in Asia.

'Wow, they are all targeting this month's auction items…'

She then took a car and went to a luxurious hotel somewhere in Seoul.

Viktor's POV:

In a matter of seconds, Viktor reviewed the record of guardians of prison and greed. They were both on earth and surprisingly, they were so close to him.

So close that one of them was sitting above the rooftop of the building.

He looked at his watch and said, "There are still 6 items. Ito, can you hold onto my list card, I'm going to pick up some fruits from the table."

Adonis nodded his head and took the card from Viktor's hand. His attention was on the lady who was sitting beside his master so he said, "Young lady must be eager to talk with Viktor."

The lady flapped her fan on her face twice and answered, "That's none of your business, sir Adonis."

"Oh, my. Didn't you know it's not permissible to mention a person's name inside this building, duchess? I heard your son lost an arm from fighting with his brother. You must be aiming for the final item of this house."

The lady looked at Adonis and started to breathe heavily in rage. She wasn't happy with his behaviour at all. "Watch your mouth, you filthy blood."

At that moment, Viktor whispered into her ear. "I am terribly shocked to hear that from you, duchess. I didn't know nobles on earth are also like this. Well, no wonder why they are called nobles."

She was startled to hear him speaking so close to her ear. She didn't even feel his presence so she said, "I underestimated your ability. But let me warn you. I will buy that potion you displayed and I will send my son for your head to insult the imperial family."

Adonis held his laughter inside and grabbed Viktor's sleeve. He was telling him to sit down so Viktor gave him the plate and said, "You're happy now? Let's focus on the show."

"Yes."

"Hey, why are you so stupid?" The lady asked.

And then, the host of the auction turned off every dim light in the room and all the flashlights focused on the item that Viktor sponsored. "Ladies and gentlemen. Today, we will see a game-changing product that has gained above one million votes on the internet. Before we start bidding, I want to say something."

He walked down the stage and again tapped on his mic. "As we all know that this item has the ability to grow a missing arm. At first, I laughed until I nearly wet my pants."

The crowd started to laugh and some of them also said that they also agreed with him. They were pointing to the fact that even the world's best healer hybrid couldn't figure out whether it was a real potion or not.

The host laughed and said, "Yes, yes. I also thought about it. But when I looked into the person who made it, I suddenly gained some trust. And also, the higher-ups allowed it so I didn't go against their will. Anyway!!! The starting bid is 5 million dollars!!!!!!"

Only a few of them raised their number plates and surprisingly, the price was sly-high.

"100 million." A lady with pure dark hair said. In a matter of seconds, all the attention moved to her face.

"100 million to the lady no. 201. 100 million 1…. 100 million 2 . 100 million."

"140 million." A man with white hair and wide shoulders raised his number plate and glared at the lady. She wasn't happy at all.

At that moment, so many of them raised their number plates and unbelievably, the price reached 600 million dollars.

Viktor was chuckling to see the lady's reaction on his right. "Did you really think you could buy a high potion with a dollar? There are plenty of fishes in the sea waiting to eat the rotten food that I prepared. You bought the dark orb, didn't you? Be satisfied with it."

He stood up and said, "ito, let's go claim our money. We have an appointment, right?"

He smiled a little and said, "Yes, it was a nice way to earn some money. Anyways, let's not see each other from now on. I hope you have a great day, duchess." He looked at the lady and left the guest room.

The lady was clenching her teeth in rage.

Viktor looked at his bank accounts and saw the long numbers. It was a happy number so he laughed and told Adonis that they will go shopping after that. He wanted to buy something for Adonis because it was really a special day.

A very special day for Adonis to be exact…
