Chapter 1285 Danger
"May I know your identity?" Rea, who sat behind Theo, looked at this beautiful lady, not knowing that Theo had this kind of connection.
"Me? I am just a bridge to connect Mr. Joker with the auction." The lady smiled before giving a piece of paper to Theo. "This is the list of the people you should worry about."
Theo received the paper and took a look.
"There are a total of five names. One of them is none other than the local tyrant, the Slaughter, not the Slaughterer. A weird nickname, but he is a real deal. He has the ability to control blood and seems to have the blessing of Dracula. He can turn all kinds of Magic Power into blood. So, you should be careful. If he manages to touch you, he can even control your body, specifically blood.
"The second one is a man who is close to rank 200th in the world. He's known as a powerful man that brings conquest. His blessing is said to be from the four horsemen of the apocalypse, the Red Rider, representing conquest.
"As for the other three organizations, they're pretty strong, but I don't think they'll pose too much of a threat for you, Mr. Joker. At best, they're going to send Mythical Rank Experts after you. The most dangerous are those two."
Theo stared at the names for a moment before asking, "How about our identity?"
"I'll go with you, so you won't have trouble entering."
"Well, I have heard the condition from Maya." Theo nodded.
'Maya? Did he know that the military was going to stop him all along? That was why he asked Maya to do this? But I thought the preparation was only for two weeks… Don't tell me. He already saw through everything since then?' Rea widened her eyes in shock. She wasn't present in the negotiation, so she didn't know about Reyn's action. It was normal for her to never expect something like this.
Meanwhile, Theo sighed and asked, "What do you want?"
"I am going to help you fend off some enemies. Even though I'm like this, I'm still a Mythical Rank Expert. I'll go with you until we're safe and after that, please let me go back with you."
"Now that I think about it, you want…"
"Yes. I want to work for the Star Group." The lady smiled sweetly.
"Well, that's fine." Theo nodded. "I can understand that. Have you prepared the route?"
"Of course. I'm going to be your guide. I can assure you that the terrain is perfect. And you can release your power without affecting other people."
"Okay. I promise you." Theo nodded with a calm expression.
"Thank you very much."
"Still, I don't know how to call you?"
"Just call me 042."
Theo looked at her for a moment before nodding. "Alright."
"By the way, you should wear this. I know you're in disguise, but you must use this when attending the auction." She took out a masquerade from the container next to her.
"No need. You should wear one for yourself." Theo shook his head while his sleeve suddenly got separated from the shirt and turned into a masquerade. The ripped sleeve then regenerated as if nothing happened.
"Eh?" The lady was dumbfounded, not understanding what happened. She wanted to think it was an illusion but didn't sense any Magic Power.
Unbeknownst to her, the only reason why Theo always had a perfect outfit to wear every single time was due to the Death Armor. The changing shape of the Death Armor indeed allowed him to change his clothes as he pleased.
"Well, thank you." She was a bit awkward but still put on the masquerade. After that, she said, "The fund that you can use this time is 170 billion. As for the stone price, it's estimated to go over 100 billion, but I believe we should have enough since people will choose to rob instead of win with money at that level.
"I know that you're a bit impatient, but please let me deal with the auction because we shouldn't add more enemies than necessary this time."
Theo nodded in agreement. "Well, you can do the bidding. Also, what do you think about the pair of rings?"
"Ah, that?! The rings are quite nice. Although it doesn't have that much function, it's a perfect ring for a couple. And the fact that it's powered by Magic Power instead of satellite and other stuff makes it more expensive."
"Can we use the remaining money to buy them?"
"!!!" She was stunned for a second. She didn't know much about the situation in the Star Group, so she thought Theo wanted these rings to propose to Maya. If that was the case, she would definitely buy them. "Don't worry. I'll make sure that you get both of them."
"Alright then." Theo nodded.
After confirming all their situation, the group finally reached the auction. It was held on the outskirts of the city, a bit farther away from the coastline. Due to its location, there were not many houses in the area, so they could go a bit rough around here.
And Theo could see an empty land a bit farther. He assumed that this was the escape route she said earlier.
There were quite a lot of people near the building. One looked richer than another. Considering the items that would be sold in this place were extraordinary, he could see the attraction.
Theo's group came out of their cars.
Since Theo had yet to use his power to look like a Mythical Rank Expert, their group looked like there were only three Mythical Rank Expert bodyguards that protected Theo and Rea.
Even so, three Mythical Rank Experts alone were considered a powerful influence in this place since most people only had one or two.
042 gave a golden coin with a skull head on it to the guard, and the latter hurriedly fetched a waitress inside to send them upstairs. It seemed that there were two levels for the participants.
They were guided to the VIP room upstairs.
There was a huge glass that separated them from the lively auction hall. And 042 immediately explained, "The other side can't see through this glass. So, we'll bid through the machine. You can take a nap here while I bid the items for you."
"Okay."
