GACHA SOVEREIGN

529 Auction House

"This is the last report of our status from Anna." She handed a paper to him.

Alex read for a minute, not leaving any single details. Their efforts had resulted in weakening the enemy force. At first, they would need to fight around six thousand Martial Kings and more than five hundred Martial Emperors. After destroying all the branches, they killed more than a thousand Martial Kings and a hundred Martial Emperors from all their branches. They did not really care about the twenty thousand Martial Lords or even more below that level as he considered them as experience points.

He could trap more than half of them if he played the card right. Meanwhile, Song Yu force could at least hold half of their force while his Spirits would go rampage with the other half. After giving the last blow, they could then rout the Joyful Union Sect.

"Good, I can see the path to victory." Alex nodded with a smile.

He checked his system, calculating how many EXP Cards he needed to level his spirits. Jeanne needed eight EXP Cards to become 1-Star Martial Monarch while he used the rest to Anya, raising her level to 5-Star Martial Emperor since he did not raise her level previously.

"We will arrive at the last minute, so tell Nicole to convey our time. I don't want to find unnecessary problems, so it's better if someone can guide me inside the auction room as soon as I reach there. They should know about my VIP card anyway, so it should not be a problem."

"Sure. Considering you are going to discuss an important topic, they should understand it too." Anya nodded, noting his request down.

"I am going to relax for a few days and think about the concept of my original spear technique."

"Alright. You have been training madly for the past few months, so you deserve some rest."

Alex nodded, locking himself inside the bedroom. Before relaxing his mind, he took out Vera's card. "Vera, do you know there is another Ice Phoenix Queen after you?"

"Really?" Vera was surprised since the system did not tell her anything. "I am happy they have another me."

"Actually... It's my wife, Alicia. According to her, she somehow managed to complete a hundred percent of the ritual. I don't know what ritual though."

On the other side, Vera opened her mouth in surprise, clarifying Alex's doubt. "It's the Ice Phoenix Ritual. Since Young Master's wife was a human, after going through the ritual, she completely became an Ice Phoenix Spirit, and truly mastered the ice. Does Young Master find our Ice Phoenix Spirit ugly?"

"No," Alex answered with one word, understanding her worry. She was afraid Alex would leave Alicia because she became Ice Phoenix Spirit, seeing how adamant he was in keeping his humanity. If Alex really disgusted by that, he would not look at his Spirits, like Anna and Anya, or his contracted beast like Sherry.

"It... It's not like I am happy to receive this news, alright? This is only my last duty as the former Ice Phoenix Queen to know that there is another generation of Ice Phoenix Queen."

"Yeah. I know." He smiled, ignoring the annoying line.

"Anyway, I am truly happy that Young Master's wife is the next Ice Phoenix Queen."

"Thank you."

Sherry and Kyle had reached 6-Star Martial Emperors a month ago, but Kyle almost reached 7-Star. Unfortunately, despite his effort, he could not reach 7-Star until the time limit. On the other hand, Stina felt fabulous. After she stuck at 7-Star Martial Emperor for a few thousand years, all memory about how wonderful the feeling of breaking through came back to her mind.

She felt more energetic, hoping Kyle would become an adult soon. Alex turned blind eyes to their matter since Kyle wanted to take responsibility.

In an instant, the auction finally came as Alex came out of his room, finding Anya, Sherry, Kyle, and Stina outside of his room.

"Sorry for making you wait." Alex smiled before turning to Anya. "Have the others come back?"

"Yeah. They are inside the card."

"Master, we are going now?" Sherry came to him. Since this was inside the base, she let out her fox ears and tail, making her look cute.

Alex smiled and patted her head, "Yeah. We are going."

She nodded, turning into a light ball before coming inside his body. Kyle and Stina also did the same while Anya said one last thing to him. "I have recalled all the N squad back inside the card so that you won't get any more information past this point."

"Yes. I know." Alex nodded, taking out her card and recalling her back. He tossed the card inside the Inventory and snapped his finger, creating a teleportation array.

He only needed to make six teleportations array before arriving in front of the Blackwade Clan headquarters inside a city called Jild.

The city was bigger than he thought, but still within his expectation. He went through all the process he needed to go inside while wearing his mask.

He did not forget to ask the direction of the Blackwade Clan. With how big the attraction of the auction, the guard immediately pointed the direction.

In the center of the city stood a building which was different from the others. Its size alone was close to a football stadium, rivaling the size of the mansion of Blackwade Clan.

He went inside and found it bustling with people. The aura felt very familiar, like he was looking at the combination of Alchemist Guild, Forging Master Guild, Array Master Guild by smelling the medicinal herbs, metallic scent, blood scent mixing in the air. It was like a supermarket where you could buy anything you wanted, from electronics to food.

Song Yu said she would wait for him in the entrance, so he looked around, searching for her. After a few seconds not finding her, he suddenly heard a woman voice from behind. "I have been waiting for you."

"!!!" Alex recognized this voice, which was not Song Yu's voice. He turned around, finding a big Song Yu standing in front of him. "It's been a while, ehm... Miss Song Jia."

"Just call me Song Jia, since you are my benefactor. Anyway, Elder Sister asked me to bring you to your room." Song Jia smiled. She purposely hid her presence earlier as to not make a flashy appearance and bring trouble to him, causing Alex to wait.

"Yeah. It's better to go there first." He nodded. "I will trouble you then."

Song Jia nodded, and led him to the top floor, making others suspicious for what reason a princess of the Blackwade Clan family would accompany someone. They never heard about her having a man by her side. In addition, she also talked with him in a polite way, very different from how she treated others, especially her past challenger nature.

The top floor usually was for VIP or top influence ambassadors. To his surprise, before coming inside the room, a familiar voice came from his side.

"Oh, you are..."

As soon as he heard this voice, he turned around, finding the same man he met back then: the West Blue Clan young lord, Ruben, and his fiancee, the Antheream Family, Lucia.

Song Jia only smiled, greeting them politely. "Pleasure to have both of you here, and I hope you enjoy the auction today."

"Such an honor for me to have the great Miss Song Jia to greet me like this." Ruben acted like his unrealistic gentleman way before receiving an elbow on his stomach area from Lucia.

Of course, Ruben did not like her or whatsoever as he wanted to probe the masked man's identity. For a Blackwade Clan to invite him on this top floor, it would only mean he was that important.

Lucia bowed her head, placing her hand on her chest. "Nice to meet you, Blackwade Clan's second young lady, Song Jia."

As a daughter of the economy tyrant in the west, she obviously did not want to lose against her, albeit her opponent changed back to Song Yu as soon as she heard her coming back.

She was not surprised, as if she had already expected a greeting like this.

Alex watched silently without interjecting.

"Fufu..." In the past, Song Jia might challenge her, but now, she exhaled and looked at Lucia calmly. "Yeah. I hope you will have a pleasant time in this city. However, I would expect you to buy a few things at this auction. After all, the Antheream Family should have enough money to buy our items, right? Or do you want us to lend you some?"

"..." Though she had not met Song Jia in the past few years, she recognized her change in this exchange. The taunt failed to rile her up. Instead, it made her smile. She thought for a moment before saying, "Of course, unlike Blackwade Clan, who uses this situation to set up an auction, we are more trustable. We can afford all the items you set in the auction, albeit I wonder if you have a good item that could fancy us..."

Song Jia narrowed her eyes since their main target was the Fire God Clan by using the Flame Heating Lotus. Little did she know it was Alex's target all along.

"Still, to think the great Song Jia would lead someone like this, Is he your man?"

"It's none of your business." She began to revert to her previous character after losing patience in this conversation.

At this time, Ruben sent a thought transmission to Lucia. 'Oi Oi. You can't just antagonize them like that. We have yet to get a clear grasp of this masked man. I thought this masked man is the same person as the one who destroyed all branches of the Joyful Union Sect.

'If this is really the same man, he is a bad deal. Just take a look at his cultivation; it's impossible to reach 4-Star from 1-Star Martial Emperor within five months. It might be a little possible considering the resource from Blackwade Clan, but you need to remember that he was heavily injured back then.'

The answer came in the form of glare, shutting his mouth up. Lucia knew it better than him already, answering back with her thought, 'I know that already. I thought the same at first. In fact, I am taunting her to see whether they are the same person and have some relationship with the Blackwade Clan. If Song Jia herself led him here, it would mean there is something between him and her. Most probably they are like us, arranged by family. So, shut up and let me do my part.'

'Though you have fallen for this great man's charm.' He said proudly.

If this were a normal conversation, she would beat him up. She ended up holding back her desire and let him win this time.

At the same time, Alex had another thought. The news would not travel so fast, and with the timing of Strength Plateau, it would not bring him too much trouble. Recalling the green box that Song Yu gave him, he took it out before handing it to Song Jia. "You can have this."

"!!!" All eyes locked on the box before staring at Alex with a dumbfounded face.

From Alex's perspective, he only returned the box while showing his prestige. Joyful Union Sect and Fire God Clan would not have time to make trouble for him because of the time, let alone the Blue West Clan and Antheream Family far in the west. As he said a few months ago, it was time for his Spirit Nest to resurface and shake the continent.

On the other hand, Song Jia, Ruben, and Lucia were dumbfounded by the green box and his words. He said, 'You can have this.' and that was it. He did not state the purpose, meaning he truly gave it to her. Whether she chose to put it in the auction or not was up to her. In any case, this scene will undoubtedly bring misunderstanding.

"You can finish your business first, and I will wait inside," Alex said, noticing a person's energy inside the room, who was most likely Song Yu.

He left those dumbfounded people and entered the room. As soon as he closed the door, Song Yu turned around, smiling at him.

"You have come, Junior Brother."
