TOP SECRET: Adventures in the Dark Continent

Chapter 196: Business Card

When all customers made the offers, the auction finally ended after several days of negotiation with each customer.

Everyone expected to be the winner.

A slave with the power to see the future was no joke. This is something that defies the heavens.

In the next few days, everyone was having trouble sleeping because of the anxiety of knowing who will be the big winner of the auction.

In the room of the slave market manager ...

There were three people there, Lillie, the manager, and the old woman. The manager and the old woman were seated while Lillie stood beside them.

The trio was discussing who will be the winner of the auction.

"Granny Orsola, what did you see during the negotiations? Does anyone have a bright future between them?" The manager asked the old woman. He made it look like she also has the skill to see the future.

"Yes. Some of them have promising futures, but ... "The old woman was speaking casually. For her, promising futures were common.

But her face changed when she stopped talking. The old woman was thinking about the things she saw.

"Granny Orsola, did something happen? Did you see anything?" The manager was surprised to see the old woman acting this way. This is a rare thing to see.

Lillie did not comment, she was just listening to their discussion.

"Kalman, you don't understand. The problem was not what I saw, but what I didn't see. One of the customers had a dark future that I couldn't see" The old woman spoke seriously. She has never seen anything like this happen before.

Or rather, she has seen it, but when the other side is someone much more powerful than she is.

Currently, the old woman is at level 50 because of suppression, her real level is 242. She can see anyone's future below her level. But if she tries to see someone's future ten levels above her, she won't be able to see that person's future.

"What???!!! How is that possible ??? Granny, aren't you wrong about that ?? That shouldn't be possible" The manager was shocked to hear that. This is the first time he heard the old woman talk about it.

Lillie, who was on the side, was also shocked to hear this. She did not think that the skill to see the future could also fail.

"Kalman, I also don't know how it happened. That person is also suppressed by the system, so his level is also 50, but for some reason, I couldn't see his future."

"Granny, did this happen because of some magical equipment that prevents you from seeing the future?" The manager thought that this could be the cause.

"No. I did not feel any kind of interference during the vision process. He let me hold his hand without a problem. Something else must have happened" The old woman doesn't know what happened and that doubt has remained in her mind until now.

"Granny, what are we going to do about this person? Are we going to kidnap him?"

"No. A person with an unknown future is not someone we can offend. If it were someone at the highest levels, we could do that, but at the lowest levels like this. Something very strange must be happening. That person must be a very powerful person with many extra points in his status. The skill to see the future can also fail if the other side has many points in the attributes above mine."

"Granny, but how can someone have many points above yours? Your extra points are already at the limit of the possible. For someone to have more than you, that person must be some lucky person or a monster." The manager was startled to hear the old woman's words.

"I think he is a lucky monster." The old woman commented. She knows a little about Liu Yang.

"Granny, who is the person you are referring to?" The manager was curious about this person.

"Hawk River, but also known as Berny" The old woman answered slowly.

"!!!!!!!!!!!" The manager was surprised to find that Liu Yang is the person the old woman was referring to. He didn't think that someone like Liu Yang would be the lucky monster.

But when he thought about it, he realized it made sense.

"Granny, isn't he the same person who managed to get three super rare and three ultra-rare items from Lord Norman 'Shopping's gacha machines?" The manager received information about this some time ago.

"Yes, the person the mall is looking for is him. They even sent assassins to retrieve the items, but none of them returned. It looks like everyone was killed by this person called Hawk River or Berny"

"I see ... It seems that he is more than apparent. Granny, will you choose him as the winner of the auction?"

"Yes. The item he offers is one of the super rare items on the gacha machine, but I will order something else in exchange for it."

"I see ... I will leave this matter for Granny to resolve."

At Cilia's mansion ...

Liu Yang was enjoying his days in a peaceful and relaxing way, he did nothing but eat, sleep, and activities with women. This was kind of like a vacation for him.

Being the winner of the auction was not in Liu Yang's expectations, because the things he offered was not enough to cover the things offered by the powerful nobles of Silkhall City, some of them even had connections with powerful nobles from wealthier and more powerful cities like the capital of the Temore Kingdom.

Currently, Liu Yang was taking advantage of the cold wind while he looked at the cloudy sky.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew in his direction.

"!!!" Liu Yang realized that something was wrong because of the sudden strong wind.

"What is happening?" He looked towards the source of the wind, but nothing was seen.

The only thing there was a strong wind blowing in his direction.

(Is that just my imagination?) Liu Yang thought. He doesn't know what just happened.

"What is it??" Liu Yang looked down and saw that there was a small card in the middle of his legs.

Looking at the drawing on the card, a bag of money with two handcuffs attached, he showed a solemn face. This is the symbol of the slave market.

"Is this a business card? Are they sending someone to speak to me?" Liu Yang murmured. He got off the roof and went to the living room to meet Celine.

"Young master, did something happen?" Celine saw that Liu Yang was a little strange.

"Celine, can you prepare some snacks and drinks? We are going to have some unexpected guests, "Liu Yang commented.

"Yes, young master" She didn't have to ask about it and went straight to the kitchen.

(That old woman must have seen something with those bright eyes when she touched my hand some days ago. Something must have happened during the negotiation with the old woman.) Liu Yang thought. He understands that his item was not enough to attract the attention of slave traders for him to win the auction.
