Guild Wars

light smile. 

”And hello, Riveting Night. ” Myrine added with a smirk. 

Riveting Night simply harrumphed and looked away.
In the previous timeline, she hadn ’t known these two, but the War Maniac Pavilion had favored Darkrow. 

As such, she did have some ties to them, which was why she was more tolerant.
Besides, Riveting Night did feel that these two women had something outstanding about them, but she simply disliked them for the fact that they wanted to bed Draco without caring for his soulmate ’s approval on the matter. 

If only they knew that the approval of Riveting Night was the most important step, they would bother her instead. 

Myrine and Diana simply chuckled before focusing on Draco.
”We are interested in seeing the lineup of items before the auction begins so that we may prepare accordingly.
What would it take to acquire this? ” 

Draco pointed to the Rank 7 shop calmly.
”The list will be shown sequentially during the auction. ” 

Despite his cold rebuttal, the two women didn ’t seem the least bit offended or bothered.
Instead, they seemed excited, as if resistance from their target was what they loved to see. 

”Then we shall stop bothering you and attend the grand event you are hosting for us. ” Diana replied with a shake of her head. 

Just when Draco and Riveting Night expected them to have the beast glide down, all of the people on its back jumped off, plummeting straight to the ground. 

Including Draco and Riveting Night, every onlooker was flabbergasted, except those from the other top powers.
They simply had an expression of ’goddammit, these fellows again ’. 

Diana and Myrine surfed the air itself like it was a wave which made Draco ’s breathing still.
He had seen and heard of this skill before, called Windwalking, but it was at least, a Legendary skill. 

To think both Diana and Myrine would have it.
As for their colleagues, they all plummeted straight down without a care on their faces. 

Just when people thought they would turn into roadkill or a meat paste, the ground tremored as a loud ’BOOM! ’ echoed out.
Many people were shaken off their feet as they gazed at those who just landed stupidly, as if each one of them was some sort of superhero. 

All of them were pristine, and in fact, it was the concrete beneath them that had drawn the short end of the stick in this battle.
What even boggled the mind was that Diana and Myrine hadn ’t yet landed. 

As for when they did, it wasn ’t with a heavy tremor, but a soft tap.
As if choreographed, they both landed with their right toe first, then relaxed on the ground with smiles. 

”Hello everyone, it ’s great to see that all of you have come to be part of this glorious event, even you two groups over there. ” Myrine pointed to a group of people clad in red leathers and another that was clad in black leathers. 

Everyone else – except the top powers again – were absolutely shocked.
Wasn ’t that the Thieves and Assassin ’s Guild? Just when had they appeared here? 

Many people felt a chill crawl up their spine as they instinctively felt their throats and checked their wallets only to find out that everything was fine.
They breathed a sigh of relief and swore never to cross these two guilds. 

Davian from the Cario Continental Council smiled.
”Since Lady Diana and Lady Myrine from the War Maniac Pavilion are here, we would like to see what guidance you have for us. ” 

All the other powers looked over at the same time, also awaiting the words of the War Maniac Pavilion. 

”We don ’t dare to give any orders.
We are just here to view the ensuing spectacle and ensure that everything runs smoothly. ” Diana answered with a nonchalant tone. 

”Ah, okay then.
Let us not waste any time furthermore and attend this grand event. ” Davian chuckled, leading the other powers inside. 

Once everyone entered, the crowd burst into a heavy discussion.
Arguments, cries, and cheers broke out as many people began to chatter amongst one another. 

They all discussed the marvelous event they had just witnessed with different opinions.
Some felt it was grand, some felt it was meh, some felt it was bad. 

Draco and Riveting Night tuned out such fellows, instead choosing to blink right into the 7th floor of the Rank 7 Shop.
Even though there were spatial runes blocking that, how could the security system lockout its owner? 

They appeared on the stage together, which caught the attention of everyone here.
A bit of time had already passed, enough for the pinnacle powers to enter their VIP rooms at the top, meaning that everyone was seated. 

As soon as the Evil Duo appeared, the place went silent.
Nobody wanted to miss what they had to say as the creators of this event. 

Draco smiled and stepped forward.
”Welcome everyone, to the first auction of Umbra ’s Rank 7 Shop.
We Immortal Adventurers call it the First Player Auction, which has a significant meaning where we come from. ” 

”Some of you are here hoping to acquire some goods that might be useful to you that would be hard to find anywhere else.
I dare say with absolute confidence that nothing we present will be something common. ” 

”But of course, until the items are shown, my talk must seem cheap.
Without tiring your ears with an unnecessary speech, let me introduce the host of our auction. ” 

Draco gestured towards the backstage, and the curtains parted to reveal Zaine who came out in a light blue dress that hugged her form tightly. 

Many male players and NPCs felt their throats become parched and even some females who were amenable to such things were moved. 

Seeing Zaine having the effect he anticipated, he went backstage with Riveting Night, leaving the show for Zaine to handle. 

Zaine confidently looked at the crowd and surveyed the millions of people here, of which 60% were gazing at her with intense lust.
If it were before Draco, she would have exploded from satisfaction, but now it merely put a smile on her face. 

”My name is Zaine Morningstar, and I belong to the Lineage of Draco Morningstar. ” Zaine introduced herself with a curtsy that made her chest the focus of her body. 

Many fellows had a nosebleed and began to fantasize, but when their minds parsed her words, their happiness fled and was instantly replaced by endless jealousy as well as hatred. 

”Fuck, that Draco bastard! He is not content with Riveting Night or that other dark-skinned woman called Roma… he wants to dip his fingers into such a beauty as well?! ” 

”Goddammit, I vote to delete the fellow from existence! I thought I was a king because I finally managed to retire from virginity with a hot elf, but now I only feel sadness! ” 

”It ’s not that big a deal anyway and Draco is the top player after all… ” 

”Woman, can ’t you see we are venting our envy and hate? Why do you have to bring logic into this matter? ” 

”Ah? Erm… sorry then? ” 

The men in the crowd cursed and insulted Draco vehemently.
Anyone could see that he brought Zaine here to flex that his beauties were unparalleled under heaven and that they could only look but not touch. 

Draco sat in the overseer ’s office and felt all the negativity flow towards him.
Like a wine connoisseur taking a sip, he had a content look on his face as he sighed with pleasure. 

”Simply marvelous… ” 

If the fellows knew that their hate was a lovely tonic for the fellow, just how stifled would they be? At this moment Draco felt like he understood why Lucifer also loved being hated or seen as evil… 

Zaine went on to introduce the rules of the auction.
”As you should know, the only currency accepted for bidding is Aether Crystals, regardless of grade.
Some items will have fixed minimum bids and increment rates in Aether Crystals only. ” 

The players in the crowd who came here with super pomp and arrogance on their faces suddenly froze as they heard this. 

Aether Crystal? What the heck was that? 

The various NPCs saw the confusion of the players and snickered meanly.
They witnessed Draco ’s plan unfold, and they felt that he was truly wicked. 

Zaine ignored the ignorant players and focused on the NPCs as she continued onwards with the auction. 

”Now, I would like to present the first item of this auction, which – like everything else today – is a special creation made by Draco himself, the very first and only Grandmaster of Enchanting in this age! ” 

An item was brought out from the back, and it ’s covering was removed to unveil a gleaming spear that looked greatly flexible.
