Rebirth: The Villainous Young Master Doesn't Want to Follow the Script

Chapter 134: The First Mystery Item at the Auction Event



***********

LOCATION: EVELLEN TERRITORY, WESTERN PART OF CLIFFTON EMPIRE

*****AUCTION EVENT****

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! PLEASE HAVE YOUR ATTENTION ON US FOR A MOMENT! THANK YOU FOR WAITING! THE MOMENT IS HERE! THE AUCTION EVENT WILL STARTS NOW!"

After the MC announced the start of the auction event, Arico whistles as he said; "Finally, it started! Geez! I hate this kind of stuffy events!"

The Slayer Agent complained as he watched the whole spectacle from above while observing those aristocrats who situated from below, only to be scoffed at the sight he is looking at right now.

Eclipse, on the other hand, heard the scoffing and looked at his companion with a raised eyebrow; "What are you scoffing off about? Did one of these aristocrats offended you in some ways or something?"

Arico sneered as he looked away and crossed his arms around his chest and said; "Just hurry up and looked for that client so that we could get the hell out of this place."

After he said those words, Arico left the balcony and went inside the room, leaving Eclipse behind in that place and the world-hopper just shrugged off his shoulder and then focus on the event while looking for any signs about their dear client who seemed to love playing hide-and-seek with him.

"JUST A FEW REMINDERS, OUR DEAR GUESTS! BEFORE THE EVENT WOULD START, THIS PLACE ALREADY HAS VOID AMPLIFICATION ARRAY SO THAT ANY KIND OF MAGIC ACTIVATION OR AURA WOULD RENDERED VOID OR CANCEL FOR SAFETY PURPOSES! WE HOPE THAT OUR DEAR GUESTS WOULD COMPLY DURING THE EVENT!"

Arico, who went inside and left Eclipse on the balcony, heard what the MC was talking about and scoffed off as he unleashed some of his poser and looked at his hands as his aura was still intact.

"Void Amplification Array? I can still unleash my power a little bit here though. What are they talking about?"

As he said that, Eclipse also activated his power in secrecy to see if his ability would be affected by the array, but he felt the surge of power coursing through his veins and snapped his power back to disappear.

"It seems that our authority isn't affected by this array since our authority isn't bound by the laws of this worldline, which is good though."

That's the only conclusion that Eclipse could think about as he continued to watch over the guests from where he stood as the MC continued its speech for today's auction event.

"I don't get these humans being overly hyped with auctioned items and wasted their money for junk items."

Eclipse just hummed in agreement but ignores his companion's constant nagging about this place as he need to pay attention within the surroundings from downstairs and the world-hopper doesn't have the time to cater to his companion's whims of complaint.

'Sometimes, I wonder who's the older one between us? Because he tantrums like a child whenever he sees fit to throw a tantrum in this place.'

He thought as he shook off his head and just ignored his fellow companion and focused on observing the guests downstairs to keep an eye on their target.

'Just where the heck is that guy? From the information provided, there wasn't an exact detail on what item Gilbert Herrer is looking for in this auction event, but I bet that it would be related to the commission item that I had within me.'

The world-hopper frowns as he think further while kept on waiting for any sign of their dear client within the crowds while watching the auction event would start at any moment.

"THE MOMENT WE HAVE BEEN ALL WAITING FOR! DOES OUR ESTEEMED GUESTS READY?!"

Arico sighed and said; "Finally, it started."

Eclipse looked at the front center where the stage was present and there is another person on the stage who pushed through the cart they were holding on and the world-hopper would assume that it's one of the items that would be auctioned in this event since it still covered in white cloth.

"Do we need to bid as well?"

Arico asked him and Eclipse looked at his companion who was now at his said and said stoically; "Do you have money to bid?"

Arico; "…."

'This cheeky brat—!'

The Slayer Agent want to refute back because of the insult but suddenly, he doesn't have the heart to do that, lest he wanted to face this brat's wrath, and he didn't want to become the receiving end.

'For some reason, I don't know why I get the feeling that I'm always scared to anger this brat when he is much younger than me in thousands of years.'

He questioned himself about that matter and no matter how much he thought about it, there is no answer to those questions that keeps on popping out on his mind.

Eclipse might be one of the successor candidates, (In reality, he is truly the successor candidate, not officially though but most of the residence within the Main House System already knew in their hearts who would be their next Leader / Master of the Universal Realm), but he is still one of the youngest within his fellow peers.

Arico, on one hand, is one of the senior agents within the Main House System and had a notorious reputation as one of the executioners in their department and he shouldn't be afraid of this brat but there are some unknown forces that makes the Slayer Agent do nothing but to be subservient in front of this cheeky brat.

'I don't know if Eclipse knew the kind of power he holds but it seems like up until now, he doesn't have any idea about his deep hidden powers within him.'

The Slayer Agent remembered some of the conversation that he had with Sir Red in regards about Eclipse.

« ... "I just hope that when the time comes, he needs to accept the fate that was stored within him the moment he exist in this world. No matter what he does, it's his fate to fulfill his actual role and the meaning of his existence in this world." ….. »

Arico was skeptical and perplexed with those statements and up until now, the Slayer Agent still couldn't understand those statements but there are times when he thought about it and then just tossed it aside from his thoughts.

'Eclipse's actual role? What kind of role though?'

"The auction is about to start. Arico, activate your senses and tried to locate our client within these crowds."

The Slayer Agent snapped from his thoughts and then did as what Eclipse tell him.

Arico looked at his companion and asked; "How about you? What are you going to do?"

Eclipse; "Since we were considered one of the VIP guests, it would be better for us to take part of this event so that no one would suspect us of being an insider."

Arico raised an eyebrow because of the world-hopper's statement; "Did you bring money with you? Also, you're not the type of person who would be interested in this kind of event, even though you are a former noble."

The Slayer Agent said, and Eclipse just shrugged off his shoulder and said; "This is just a cover up and since we occupy a VIP room, the person-in-charge from before expected us to participate in this event, especially since the [token] that I presented came from some sort of a prestigious household within this continent."

Eclipse explained their situation and Arico nodded as he thought that it's reasonable for them to, at least, participate in this event to avoid suspicions within the crowd.

"PLACE YOUR BIDS, OUR DEAR ESTEEMED GUESTS! AS FOR OUR FIRST ITEM TO BE AUCTIONED…."

Both gentlemen immediately looked at the front center stage where the auction event was now commencing, and the first item is now at the center stage and was concealed with a white cloth.

"Wow! Look at these humans whose eyes are greedy for the first item that would be auctioned! Tsk! Human greed knows no bounds!"

Arico said as he scoffed off those people and Eclipse just shook off his head because of his companion's tantrums and he just ignored him for now as he focused on the first item that would be revealed.

"THIS ITEM WAS FOUNDED BY ONE OF THE ADVENTURERS TEAM IN THE RUINS OF THE NORTHEASTERN TERRITORY OF OUR EMPIRE AND THEY DECIDED TO AUCTION THIS ITEM SINCE THIS COULD BE CONSIDERED SOME SORT OF ANCIENT RELICS OF THE PAST!"

After the MC make an introductory about the first mysterious item, most of the guests are now whispering with one another and tried to gouge the concealed item that was covered in white cloth and Arico just whistles as he chuckled because of how the MC exaggerated everything the item auctioned.

"Such a smooth talker out there! He knew how to bring the crowd's curiosity to the next level, eh?"

Arico said and Eclipse hummed in agreement as he crossed his arms around his chest and after that, he frowns.

"Is there something wrong?"

The Slayer Agent noticed Eclipse's sudden mood as he looked at the first item concealed that was presented in the front center stage.

He shook off his head and said; "No, it's nothing. It's just…. I have a gut feeling that I couldn't explain."
