Chapter 140: The First Young Master of Evellen Household (1)
*********
The MC is fuming in anger because of the stunt that this arrogant young master from the Evellen household has been doing right now.
Just because this person is from the ruling Lord's household, doesn't mean this arrogant b*astard who knows nothing had the right to ruin the establishment's business because of his own whims!
'Do you think the establishment would protect your identity? Tsk!'
The MC coldly looked at the direction where the VIP #12 is situated and cleared his throat as he shouted; "IS THAT YOUR FINAL BID, VIP #12…. YOUNG MASTER CLOVIS OF EVELLEN HOUSEHOLD?"
The moment that the MC revealed the identity of the person who occupied the VIP #12 room, the audience within the crowd couldn't help but gasped at the mention of that name because who wouldn't know about the first young master from the Evellen household?
In the western part of Cliffton Empire, the ruling territory Lord is none other than the Duke Evellen household, a household of merchants since within this part of the Empire, the western side almost ruled by the merchants and later on, this became the center of business within the Cliffton Empire.
All of this is because of the House of Evellen who transformed this place into a business region and most of the high-ranking noble households from the Imperial Capital city of Krom, would venture within these parts.
There are also rumors about them having familial connections with the Cliffton Royal family, but it wasn't confirmed and doesn't have any physical proof about their connections to the royal family.
Right now, at the middle of the auction event, hosted by the establishment, someone in the VIP #12 had cause quite a stir because of the bidding process and since the MC and the other staffs of this establishment knew the identities of the VIPs who occupied those rooms at the second floor, they had the rights to set out punishment for those attendees who dared to make a disturbance within the establishment.
Those were the orders of the owner of this place and now, the MC of this event, set out a punishment for disrupting the event by revealing the identity of the person who occupied the VIP #12 room.
The establishment strictly follows the protocol of personal confidentiality if the person who got invited and the one who occupied one of the VIP rooms or if that person is a frequent guest at the establishment.
Also, the workers in this establishment are well-trained to tighten their lips, no matter what happens or what they heard or seen within those people who entered this place and not only that, but the workers of this establishment aren't also ordinary people, and they were handpicked properly by none other than the owner itself.
Right now, as soon as the identity of the person from the VIP #12 room, whispers amongst the crowd could be heard and all of them directed their sight at the direction of the VIP #12 and most of them snickered under their breath because they knew who exactly that person was.
"I can't believe that the person at the VIP #12 is none other than the first young master from the Evellen household!"
"Are we talking about the same person here?"
"Of course! Who else has the name Clovis here that the MC mentioned earlier?!"
"It's the useless young master from that household."
"A disgraced young master indeed!"
"Just what is the Duke even doing and does he even know that this useless arrogant young master is causing trouble in this establishment right now?"
"From what I know, the owner of this establishment is so mysterious that no one tried to make a move on this place, lest they happened to offend someone that they shouldn't have."
"Even the ruling Lord of this territory didn't dare to touch this place and from what I know, the mysterious owner and the Duke have some mutual agreement in terms of business."
"Well, both of them are merchants so of course, both parties had come into agreement to benefit themselves with one another."
After that, more and more whispers came and most of them, keep on ridiculing the revealed young master at the VIP #12 and all they could hear from that place is smashing things left and right as they concluded that he is throwing a tantrum because of what the MC had done.
"FIRST OF ALL, WE WOULD LIKE TO APOLOGIZE FOR WHAT HAPPENED AND SINCE THE FAULT LIES ON OUR PART, THE SECOND ITEM FOR THIS BID WOULD NOW GO TO VIP #09 AS A COMPENSATION!"
After the MC announced those statements, the audience were once more filled with gossip and whispers because of this unexpected turn of events.
"Wow! For real?!"
"For all I know, there is some similar incident that happened before, but I don't know what happened next after that."
"Well, this means that the second item would be given to VIP #09 for free?"
"Hmmm…. Yes and no. Remember, even though the MC stated that the second item would be given out to VIP #09 as a compensation, it doesn't mean it will be given out for free."
"Then, what does it mean?"
"Are you guys forgetting something? This place is the land of merchants so of course, there might be some negotiation after this matter and only those involve parties would ever know."
After the MC announced the final result with an unexpected twist, back at the VIP room #09 where Arico and Eclipse are, both the Slayer Agent and the World-Hopper watch the scene in front of them and both couldn't help but chuckled themselves because of the unexpected situation.
"Wow! I never thought this would end like this! It seems like it all thanks to that person who keeps on challenging us for this bid and…. What was the MC revealed earlier? That person from the VIP #12 is a young master?"
The Slayer Agent said as he looked at Eclipse who remained silent for a moment while watching the spectacle in front of them.
Eclipse held his chin up as he mumbled under his breath; "First Young Master Clovis from Evellen household? Where exactly did I hear about that name again? Hmmm…."
Even though the world-hopper only whispered those words, the Slayer Agent had a sharp sense, and he heard what Eclipse said.
"Is there something wrong, Eclipse?"
Arico asked him and Eclipse sighed as he shook off his head and said; "Nothing. I just felt that the name of that young master is quite familiar, but I couldn't remember where I heard it from."
After he said that, Arico raised an eyebrow at him and said; "Well, maybe you had heard about him from the gossips around these parts since that person seemed to be pretty famous… well, more likely though… you know what I mean."
The Slayer Agent couldn't continue what he was about to say when he noticed the world-hopper's sudden change of mood and he didn't want to feel that sudden pressure coming from him and just keep his mouth shut for a while.
Unbeknownst to Arico's inner worries, Eclipse had a different thought about this matter, and he never paid attention to his companion's statement earlier.
'Let's not think about it and it was none of my business anyway and besides, I already got what I wanted in this event but then again, we still couldn't find that client of ours.'
The world-hopper knew that he won't be able to get his hand on that sword for free and even if it was stated that this would be given to him as a compensation, but Eclipse knew better than anyone else.
'For whatever reason they decided on that, I'll just wait and see what I could do in this situation.'
After that slight commotion that happened, one of the staff took the item out of the front stage and the event still continued without much trouble.
However, on the other side, Arico noticed a movement coming from the VIP room #12, which is located opposite to their place and even though the curtains are still present on that balcony but because of his sensory ability that could see-through everything, the Slayer Agent saw how that room seemed to be in a wreck, as if a hurricane just when through.
But upon checking closely, he noticed that there are some people around in that room and it seems like this young master wasn't alone and based on his observation, there is a person who stood at the other person who seats on the chair and the Slayer Agent concluded that the person seated is none other than this rumored young master from Evellen household.
And the person who stood at the young master's side might have been his attendant but that didn't catch his attention the most.
There is a third unknown person and as the Slayer Agent maximize his ability to see-through within those curtains, he gasped as he immediately recognize the other party and then snapped back from reality as he diverted his attention away from that place.
"Eclipse, we have finally spotted it. Our dear client."
