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

*********

'This esteemed guest of ours seemed like a person with hidden abilities. This information would be worth to report back to the owner and since he told me that I should deliver his message to the owner for further negotiation about this matter then, this would be great.'

The staff thought as he smiled how he used to do when dealing with prominent guests within their establishment; "Don't worry. Your message will be reported back to the owner. Oh, by the way, if you happen to come back next time here, feel free to call any of us here. The one who assist you in this room is named Frenan and my name CRIS."

After everything had been settled, the staff Cris left the VIP room to do his part and both Arico and Eclipse could only watch the staff named Cris left their room and then Arico went over to secure the door's lock since both of them have some unfinished business.

Now, it's only the two of them left in the room, the Slayer Agent looked at his companion and said; "Eclipse, he's here. Not only that, but our dear client is with that rumored young master from Evellen household at VIP room #12."

When he said that, the world-hopper could only raise an eyebrow as he looked at his companion's deadpan expression and Eclipse shook off his head as he speak; "Then, it would be hard for us to approach him that recklessly since he had a companion with him."

'How are we supposed to get close to the client, then?'

Eclipse frowns as he thought of any idea on how they were going to approach their client without involving the said young master with him.

However, it seems like he doesn't have any idea on how to properly approach this one because it would be alright if their client was all alone but since there is another person with him and on top of that, a seemingly notorious young master from the rumors around.

"Now, what? From my observation alone earlier, it seems like after the sudden reveal of the identity of the young master earlier, they might have tried to leave this place and who knows where they are going."

Eclipse frowned at his companion's statement; "This is an auction event and from the information provided, Gilbert Herrer would bid an item in this auction, but we don't have any information about what kind of item he's planning to bid."

Arico held his chin to analyze that information that they had and said; "What if…. In that information, they just stated that he needs to bid something from here but in reality, it's just a plain cover up and his real motive is something else?"

After he said that, the world-hopper looked back at him as he raised an eyebrow; "What makes you conclude on that particular hypothesis of yours?"

Arico; "Well, right now, he is with that young master from the VIP #12, and it seems like both of them having some kind of serious discussion based on how I saw through them with my sensory ability."

"If that were the case then, it's best if we follow them secretly. Tell me immediately of they planned to depart from this place."

After that, the world-hopper went back to watch the auction event continued to its third item released and he wasn't that interested that much and only watch the event like a spectator on the sidelines since he didn't want to get into another misplaced bid like what happened earlier.

'The rumored First Young Master from the Evellen household and Gilbert Herrer. What could these two are planning together?'

Eclipse wasn't that familiar about the First Young Master, and he only recently knew about him because of the gossips earlier when the MC suddenly revealed his identity within the crowd, and he is the one person who bid against him in the auction earlier for the second item.

However, thanks to his recklessness, the sword was given to Eclipse as a compensation because of what happened, but the world-hopper felt bad for just taking this sword for free and that's why he delivered his message to Cris, one of the staff who delivered the sword to him earlier that if the owner wants to negotiate with him, just contact him.

"It seems like the two of them are still in some sort of heated discussion the way I perceive it through my ability."

The world-hopper snapped from his thoughts and diverted his attention away from the event and then looked at his companion with a raised eyebrow.

"So, there is something about them huh. I wonder what the First Young Master need for someone as Gilbert Herrer could have, who is a well-known merchant but since this territory is the land of business anyway and I bet that they have some dealings that others shouldn't have known."

Arico just shrugged off his shoulder as he continued to watch over the opposite side and to watch for their movements; "It seems like that young master just bid earlier out of a whim since he wasn't that concentrated to the event as he keeps on discussing something with Gilbert Herrer."

Eclipse just hummed as he speak; "Just keep on watching over them since the event right now just come back to normal, or that it seems though."

Although the world-hopper already acquired two auction items from earlier, but his intuition never fails him and he didn't want to leave this place yet until the event is finished but if they missed Gilbert Herrer then, he didn't know where to find him again.

"Arico, it would be better if we move separately for now since you're not that interested in this kind of event then."

After he said that, the Slayer Agent didn't move away from the direction he is observing but he spoke; "I thought both of us will leave this place if those people started to move as well. Is there something that you need to do here?"

Eclipse sighed and he didn't know where to start talking.

There are a lot of things that came through his mind and Eclipse haven't informed Arico about the sudden system connection that he felt earlier the moment he held that sword from the second auction item that was delivered to him by the staff named Cris.

'It will be better for him to know at least this much.'

With that thought, he said; "Earlier, the moment I held the sword that was delivered to me, the system command center initiated a sudden reconnection."

That makes the Slayer Agent almost stumble on his feet if he didn't hold himself up as he immediately diverted his attention away from their target and looked at Eclipse with wide eyes.

"WHAT?! The system command center suddenly initiated a reconnection?! H-how come?!"

It's been three years since their system interfaces shut down for some unknown reasons that they couldn't think about and they have been stranded on this worldline for that long but even though their system interfaces shut down, some of the featured abilities that they had as a world-hopper and an agent still intact with them.

However, even if that was the case then, without the connection back at the Main House System, both of them would still be stranded in this worldline for as long as they could remember.

They don't have the ability to world-hopped back at the Main House System on their own and without their system interfaces that act as a guide and their transport, they would be stranded in this worldline forever.

"I don't know if that was just a mere coincidence or what but for now, I'll stay in this establishment and you followed those people, especially Gilbert Herrer. It will be better if you think of a way for that young master wouldn't be involved in this mess since I don't want another headache to think about it."

With that being said, as much as Arico wanted to pry on what Eclipse said about this sudden reconnection with the system, but for now, he set aside for that now and then focused on what's in front of him as he went back to observe those people once more.

"Ah! They're on the move!"

Eclipse said; "Then, go for now! Remember what I told you. Only Gilbert Herrer that you should be taken for and make sure that the young master didn't know about this. Understand?"

Arico just nodded and without further ado, the Slayer Agent left the room immediately to follow them in secrecy and the world-hopper make sure that the door is locked, and no one would dare to suddenly barged inside in this room since right now, he's all alone.

It's not like he's weak or something but since from the very beginning, the world-hopper felt a sudden presence that lurks within the shadows when they were being assisted by Frenan into this room but those presence still lingers around and Eclipse could tell that those unknown people are hiding within the crowd, disguising themselves as one of the attendees of this event.

Moments had passed, the world-hopper sighed as he spoke to finally break the silence; "Why don't you come out from where you're hiding from? I could tell that you don't have any malicious intent towards me, however, don't think I would let my guard down just because of that."
