While An was still cursing, a servant wearing a mask of the number four came before him.
"lord fox? please follow me for gift and payment." The man got no answer, he just kept his head down, waiting.
An looked at the masked man with a look of dislike, "would a lowly person like you approach me?"
The man then said the same thing as he had said before, "mister fox? please follow me for gift and payment."
An was silent and in his mask he displayed a sly smile that no one saw, he then departed from his place and ordered the servant to lead him well.
The two of them walked backstage with An as the leader, maybe this was a manners where the servant should not walk first than his master.
They then arrived in front of a small room that could only be entered by two people, after entering the wall of the room closed and walked up.
elevator..no, magic stairs?' thought An, he chuckled and leaned his body against the wall, "hey.. You can stop pretending, do you think a marionette can make an aura that strong?"
The man's body trembled, he raised his bowed head and unmasked as he chuckled, "when I have removed some of my aura, how do you do that young man?"
A figure of an old man who had prestige, a sharp eye gaze, and an extremely domineering aura came out from his body. The man was now staring at An full of probing.
"don't turn around, you deliberately show your aura, right? Don't act stupid." An grumbled by tapping his finger.
"haha.I never did, even if it means my ability has decreased."
An clucked after hearing those words, you arrogant bastard, so he wanted to say it was unintentional? it was obvious that he was trying to suppress me by letting out his aura when he met earlier.
"you're wrong to expect me to obey after you press me."
"you're so different, sir, that's interesting.."
The room suddenly became quiet, the two people inside were silent without making any sound.
"no need to mince words, what do you want... auction owner?" An asked in a condescending tone, of course he did not intend to be the enemy of this person, because the man before him was stronger than he is now.It would be difficult if people seemed to be enemies' thought An.
"i like you more and more, young man, you respond quickly.Then I'll just say it right away, do you want to be my man?"
until now he still did not show the slightest hint of his aura, but my gut feeling said I should get this guy' The man was determined in his heart to make An a subordinate.
An silent, behind his mask he looked at the man with a murderous gaze that was so terrible, my man?' but he immediately undoes his intentions and tries to be level-headed.
"i have no intention to become someone's subordinate." said An coldly as if not give a gap to the person.
The man chuckled back and still continued to intend to make An his own person, "alright then, how about a business partner?"
"what are the benefits of working with you?"
"you will gain power." replied lightly.
"power yeah..that's it?"
"you'll also make a fortune, you won't have to wander off to make a living on your own, you can be the lead in the market tonight if you want to be my business partner." said the old man was arrogant.
From there An understood, if the man before him thought that he was a traveler who was stopping by and coincidentally got a ticket for the noble auction, "in other words he considered me 'a strong man with no influence', a leaderless people." murmured An.
The man was astonished to see An arriving laughing, "is there something funny about my words?"
"no. It's just that I'm quite interested in your offer." An raised both of his shoulders while chuckling.
hmp! as expected, it would be easy to make a person like mine, I just need to pull him again so that he does not go away.' the inner man.
"wah wah. thank goodness ka-" before the old man continued his words, An cut quickly.
"certainly conditional, do you think I would do it unconditionally just because of the lack of a king?" timpal An while approaching the Man.
"well.say."
"first, I want the same degree as you. Second, pay me if my job is satisfactory. Third, I want to participate in your auction, but I don't want to share the results." An still tapped his finger slowly.
I thought what, it turned out that he was quite smart as well.' thought the old man, he became even more impatient to make An become a 'colleague', "haha! if it's mud-" just like before, An now cuts back on the man's words.
"and the fourth, you must remove the 'slave' from your list of 'auction items'." continued An, the room instantly became cold and gripping, killing aura began to creep out of An's body. He did not show his face, but people who were near him would immediately realize if he was angry at this time.
The old man's face became tense, he pegged for a moment before responding to An's words, "do I have to do the last thing?" tanyanya seriously.
"certain."
"what happens if I refuse?"
An approached the man, holding his shoulder slowly and whispering, "then enjoy the full extent of your power, for I will kill you soon."
The fur on the man's body stood up, what happened? he didn't even let out his aura, why would he be able to suppress me?' the old man thought to be astonished.
The magic stairs slowly stopped and began to open, when the wall was open many people gathered to bring home their 'gifts', inversely proportional to the entrance, the exit was very glamorous and lively.
An let go of his grip and turned to leave from there, before he left An paused right in front of the wall that was about to close, "if you can't qualify, you can't, find someone else to be your marionette."
No one knew what kind of face the old man made inside. The door closed, without a single answer.
