Chapter 381 - Meeting up



Chapter 381 - Meeting up

Usually, when Ray would receive a message, he would carry on walking while reading it. Most messages he ever received were short and to the point, but this time, he stopped dead in the middle of the street. To Bob, who was closely following behind, he thought the actions were strange. After all, he was unable to see the screen that Ray was looking at.

'Did something happen?' Bob wanted to say something, but after looking at the concentration that was on Ray's face, he decided not to and waited patiently until he started moving again.

The message he had received this time was a long one. It wouldn't have been such a big deal if it had come from Slyvia, or someone else, but from Jack, this was rare…very rare indeed.

The contents of the message had explained everything that had happened so far. It even went into more detail about what his father had been doing and what they were really selling at the auction house. Ray had taken a good guess already, based on the strange figure he had seen early trying to break into the -metallic case.

The message from Jack had just fitted in all the pieces of the puzzle for him. At the very end of the message, Jack had requested, explaining Rachel had been taken. It was to borrow quite a large sum of gold from him. To be precise, ten gold coins. This was a small fortune that not even wealthy merchants would easily be able to get their hands on.

The amount was vastly different from the slaves that Ray had purchased. This was because the VIP section was unique. Everyone there had grand wealth and one of the most sought after items were werewolves. The ballpark price was given to Jack by Steven. He never believed Jack would be able to get the money, but if they didn't, the only choice they had left was to fight, and that would be a death sentence. Once they had obtained the money, they could worry about getting into the VIP section later. Perhaps they could even just give the money to someone else to purchase Rachel, or purchase her of whoever bought her.

The others were patiently waiting inside the cave for Jack. Everyone had geared up, including the older women and the small kids ready to fight. Steven had told them to stay out of it, but they had refused, the only reason they hadn't all left was to try snatch Rachel back, because Jack said he might be able to do something.

"Don't worry, you can trust my boss," Jack said. "He will definitely have the money." Jack had an idea of how much gold Ray had brought with him. Ten coins were something Ray should have been able to cover.

Finally, Ray had given a reply.

Jack was so confident that he had read the message he received out loud.

"I spent all the money… wait.. what!?" Jack shouted, confused. "How could he spend that much money in one day, what the hell did he buy?"

Shortly after another message was sent.

"Don't worry; we can buy your little friend no problem. Meet me just outside the auction house and never ask to borrow money again. It's our money." Ray had ended the message there.

A smile appeared on Jack's face, and at this point, he was thrilled he had decided to follow Ray.

"Alright, we have the money, now let's go get Rachel back."

The rest of the group cheered at the news.

When Jack was getting ready to leave the cave with Steven to meet up with Ray. Strangely the others started to still follow them.

"What are you doing, go back in," Steven said.

"No, we're sick and tired of staying here," Zinc replied. "We all already decided, once we get Rachel back, and the others, we'll leave this place. We can't have you fighting alone anymore."

From the look on their faces, Steven could tell they had already made their decision, and there was no convincing them. As long as they didn't cause any trouble, then it would be fine. Now that they had obtained some methods of funds, there would be no need to go and fight. This was the only reason why Steven agreed to let others come along as well.

Ray now had no choice, a close colleague of his had asked for his help, and he would commit to it. For some reason, though, Ray had a feeling that not everything would go as smoothly as they hoped.

He sent out a message to Katy, telling her and the others to be prepared to depart from the city at any moment.

"Bob, go collect the carriage from the auction house, we're putting it up for sale, come meet me here, if I don't see you there when I arrive you know what will happen," Ray commanded.

Bob didn't say a word back and quickly left in a hurry, if he was to ride the new carriage then he should be able to get there before, if not at the same time as Ray.

Some time had passed and Ray had arrived at the auction house. Just like yesterday, there were many yellow knights and mages outside. This time though there seemed to be more people there than usual. Up ahead, Ray could sense Jack's aura, and next to him was a man wearing a strange mask.

There was no need for him to take off the mask because Ray recognized him straight away; it was the same man who had tried to save whatever was in that container.

Standing off to the side of the auction house away from the others and trying to blend in with the crowd of people, were several others who had the same aura as both Jack and Steven.

"Looks like Jack's found himself his little werewolf family."

"I know we don't have time for introductions," Steven said. "But I must thank you for being able to supply us with the funds. Do you mind handing the money to me?" Steven said with his hand held out.

"Unfortunately, I do not have the money you're looking for," Ray replied.

Steven looked at Jack with disappointment. Their whole plan was based on someone being able to give them the funds.

Suddenly, from behind a huge commotion had begun. The crowd was busy talking and gossiping away, staring at something in amazement. A few moments later, and they too could see what the crowd was getting so excited about.

"I brought the carriage just like you asked," Bob said, riding at the front of the vehicle. Seeing such a large item being moved without the need for any horses, truly shocked those around them. Although Ray didn't plan for this, it had already made others gain quite an interest in the item.

"That is your money right there," Ray answered.
