Chapter 640

#640. You like to joke.

Midas Auction House.

Midas’ business among the 7 guilds.

True to its name, quite a few people couldn’t even enter this place.

In particular, the secret auction, in which the most valuable items from stolen goods to national treasures are exhibited, thoroughly selects and invites guests.

Being here is one of two things.

have a social status.

I paid a lot of money and bought invitations.

In other words, it was tantamount to proof that he possessed either wealth or power.

And distinguishing between the two was easy for those who frequented this place.

Originally, the high-ranking members of society are all connected.

Especially since the people who come to these secret auctions are fixed, and if they become regulars, they can easily recognize who they are even if they wear a mask.

Conversely, if it was a face that everyone saw for the first time, it was obvious that he would be a young woman with no social status.

That’s why, when you see those who participated in this secret auction for the first time, they mocked or acted lightly.

It was common here.

It was the natural right of those with dignity and ability to tell the subject to the lowly people who bought the right to come to this auction house with money.

There were even quite a few people looking forward to such entertainment rather than the auction itself.

“Aren’t the other kids surprised when you say you’re my master?”

The man in the golden mask.

It was for this reason that Hwang Cheol-seok pushed the beauty with a butterfly mask to his heart’s content.

A beautiful woman who looks amazing.

Still seeing the face for the first time.

And a lot of wasted money.

Even looking at it, it was clear that he bought an invitation and came in because no one said anything about him playing with foreigners.

Not bad for her either.

It’s just a bit strikingly pretty.

A woman who only has money.

If you know you can get a halo of your own, you’ll consider it an honor and flatter yourself.

At least the women he had been teasing so far did.

It won’t be any different this time.

He had no doubts.

So this moment.

Hwang Cheol-seok hardened his face involuntarily.

“Of course I am your slave.”

make a fuss

Close up to the young man with his arm over his shoulder.

Tighten your voluptuous breasts.

A woman with a coquettish smile.

It was completely different from the way he had been avoiding his touch a little while ago.

And a smile full of interest and pleasure that made him realize that the laughter he had a little while ago was a formality scratched his pride.

“Grandma, make fun of the kids in moderation.”

“You were the one who started first.”

“Anyway, with my personality.”

what the hell are you doing

Take a moment to look at the red-haired beauty and the white-haired young man whispering to each other.

He tried to calmly open his mouth.

“You must be a rude young man to interrupt a conversation.”

“Ah, were you talking?”

A young man wearing a white mask.

Limon then looked back at him.

And when he saw the eyes of Cheol-Seok Pyro, which was burning with jealousy and anger, he laughed.

“I didn’t know. I thought you were sexually harassing my slave again.”

“What! molestation?”

“Huh. You tried to lay your hands on an extraneous woman without asking permission, so it must be sexual harassment.”

When Hwang Chul-seok heard that, a blood band stood on his forehead.

Are you treating yourself as a sex offender?

In his entire life, he would force respect from others, but he never allowed insults, and he exploded just like that.

“These dare to know who I am…!”

“What is this asshole doing?”

“What what?”

“If you want to ask something like that, take off the mask first. Cover your face and find out what?”

“…!”

“Besides, whoever you are, molestation is molestation. Which country’s law makes a crime innocence based on one’s status?”

Sometimes the right theory makes people even more pissed off.

In particular, the young man’s sarcasm with a bewitching beauty on one arm was enough to turn the top of Hwang Cheol-seok.

“You bastard with no blood on his head!”

Finally, unable to contain his anger, he clenched his fists.

Limon with a cold expression on his face.

The moment Sir smiled.

A person intervened.

“Customers, please refrain from making a fuss.”

“I’ve been insulted like this, so I’m going to put up with it?”

“This is the Midas auction house.”

The middle-aged man in a suit said calmly.

Then he adjusted his spectacles and bowed his head with the utmost respect.

“Please understand that if you make a fuss beyond this, we will have no choice but to issue a ban from entering.”

“Benefit…!”

Hwang Cheol-seok only grinded his teeth.

I couldn’t heed the warning.

To ignore the manager’s words at the Midas Auction House means to be hostile to the Midas Guild.

No matter how much wealth and high reputation Hwang Chul-seok had, he couldn’t commit suicide by challenging the stronghold of the 7 guilds.

“Chi-it poor guy and vulgar girl look good together!”

In the end, Chul-seok Pwang ignored Limon and Sir and turned away.

Even so, I had to protect myself.

“Then please enjoy the auction.”

Until the manager, who had sorted out the fuss, politely bowed his head and left quietly.

Limon and Sir, who were watching silently, laughed at the same time.

“This sucks.”

“Who is not? I wanted to do something fun to watch.”

“Are you going to ruin someone else’s life for fun?”

“There’s no need to stop a kid who wants to throw his life away because he thinks he’s a lower man.”

It’s like it’s happened thousands of times.

Seeing the two men and women sharing a joke while calmly brushing aside the incident from earlier, the others around them made displeased faces.

Not everyone here liked Chul-Seok Pyro, but he was definitely a member of this auction house.

But since they were humiliated by those who came for the first time.

They didn’t like the situation at all, as they enjoyed mocking rookies.

“Tsk, vulgar things do not like that they win.”

“Who said no?”

“Let’s see. There’s no way that man would just let it go.”

“Well, there are not one or two people who have suffered major nose injuries while pretending to have a few bucks.”

In the end, they happily chewed on Limon and Sir.

Even those who had been treated similarly before, so to speak, only had money, the more eagerly they joined in.

They suffered shame.

It was unacceptable for newcomers who did not know anything about it to pass through without a declaration ceremony.

But after a while.

They all shut their mouths.

“…You two really like to joke around.”

[Who said no? Anyway, you can’t pay for your age.]

A black fan in one hand.

A fox mask covering the nose.

Even a Chinese dress that showed off her white legs.

She is as beautiful as the dark red-haired beauty, but exudes a mysterious elegance more than that.

A black-haired girl who made other people at the auction house swallow dry saliva just by appearing.

Li Qingyu and the bird with black feathers perched on her shoulder made subtle expressions.

It just looks younger.

how old are they

As far as I knew roughly, Hwang Chul-seok, who was tossed with by these two old monsters, looked pitiful.

But neither Limon nor Sirdo.

Despite receiving the black mangbird’s sullen gaze and the girl’s stern gaze, he didn’t care.

It seems that the only thing that grows when you get older is shamelessness.

I just laughed.

“So what’s going on here, baby?”

“I have something to ask of the old woman.”

“Huh… You’re such a harsh master that you’re making another job right now.”

“Originally, slaves are supposed to roll, right?”

“You are not wrong.”

Shir laughs.

with his arm around her shoulder.

Limon asked as if he had just remembered.

“What is this old woman doing here?”

“I’m researching something these days, and I came here because the items I need for research are coming up at this auction.”

“You can just let the kids do that.”

“Originally, shopping is fun to see and choose, isn’t it?”

Seeing the two flirting like that.

Li Qingyu smiled bitterly.

“If you came here because you needed something, then it seems that work has become a bit of a hassle.”

“What do you mean?”

“Anyway, it seems that you two have turned all the customers of this auction house into enemies.”

“Hmm?”

“A place that is operated in such a closed way tends to ostracize outsiders a lot.”

Limon looked around.

And when he saw the other guests glaring at him blatantly, he shook his head.

Even if he wasn’t a particularly keen sword master, he could clearly see what was about to happen by looking at those eyes full of contempt and hostility.

So it was.

After laughing meaningfully.

Why did Limon open his arms?

“Come on, princess.”

“…yes?”

“Because if you hate us anyway, it wouldn’t matter if you gave us at least one reason to hate us.”

Was it so unexpected?

Take a moment to open your eyes.

In the end, Li Qingyu obediently fell into Li Mon’s arms even though he had a slightly perplexed expression on his face.

Like that, on her left arm is a beautiful woman with a dark body and a mature charm wearing a butterfly mask, smiling mischievously.

A mysterious black-haired girl wearing a tight-fitting china dress and a fox mask on her right arm.

holding each other in both arms.

Limon turned his head again.

And the men who forgot to burn their hostility and opened their mouths.

Especially towards the direction someone left.

fed up

after laughing

Limon took the legendary archwitch and the black dragon princess and left slowly.

Staring blankly at the back.

Half of the guests who participated in this auction thought about it without realizing it, burning with discouragement, envy, envy, jealousy, anger, and resentment.

That nomin.

I will teach you the habit.

* * *

“Aww that damn bastard!”

Meanwhile at that time.

The man in the golden mask who left as if running away.

Hwang Chul-seok was removing the powder.

Dozens of customers were watching him on the spot.

Considering their social status and wealth, how quickly rumors about today’s work will spread among the high-ranking members of society.

Just thinking about it made my blood spurt upside down.

No, apart from that, I couldn’t stand the fact that I was being insulted by such innocent young people.

It was all the more because I caught a glimpse of the dark-haired girl who couldn’t hide her fairness even with a mask before leaving, and was willingly embraced by that bastard.

T-ri-ri.

while I was so angry.

Hwang Cheol-seok was startled.

Then, he hurriedly took out his smartphone.

“Yes yes.”

[…]

“It’s up for auction today. I also confirmed that it is genuine.”

[….]

“Please leave it to me. No matter what happens, I will make sure to secure that item.”

After a while.

the call is over

He put his smartphone in and wiped away the cold sweat.

As a duke-level player in his 80s, he had a reputation that no other giant guild leader could easily deal with in Korea, except for the Infinity Guild.

But that also depends on the opponent.

Who is this client?

Thinking of his status, even he who did not know how high in the sky could not help but be nervous.

‘Should I put off punishing that bastard and focus on the auction?’

No matter how important fame and reputation are, it is not more important than one’s own lifeline.

That’s why I was swallowing my anger.

He flashed his eyes.

‘No wait. Aren’t those bitches here to participate in the auction too? then…!’

Take a moment to shake your head.

Hwang Chul-seok clenched his fists tightly.

He came up with a way to punish those who treated him as a sex offender and easily secure the things he wanted.

“Wait, you bastard bastards. I’ll tell those ignorant and arrogant people that they have at least a little pennies to be high in the sky!”
