Chapter 69 - The Emperors Heir (1/2)
”I've heard that you were curious about the origin of the dorgon egg?” The man commented in a questioning manner and Hecathe nodded as he confirmed it.
”That's right.”
”Sir, this Dorgon Egg is the only heir to the golden blood of the Dorgon Emperor, there is nothing for you to worry about. This is the best of the best you can get!” The auctioneer reassured as he exclaimed.
Hecathe chuckled as he heard this and informed, ”That's not why I was curious.”
”Eh?” The man tilted his head in confusion as he heard this.
”I'm not curious to know if the Dorgon Egg is of the best quality or not. After all, a Dorgon Egg is still a Dorgon egg and it would work just fine no matter what type of blood it has.”
The auctioneer gulped and scratched the back of his neck awkwardly as he chuckled, ”That's also right. Haha...”
”I'm more interested to know how you got him. That's it,” Hecathe sighed as he added, ”You said it yourself, this Dorgon Egg is the royal heir so how come it ended up in such a place?”
The man looked to be a bit hesitant to answer that question and Hecathe could clearly see through his reluctance.
”I'm guessing it was sold to you by someone else?' Hecathe asked as he speculated.
”That's right, sir. It was sold to us by someone who wanted to remain nameless so we can't say much about that person.”
Hecathe nodded his head in understanding as he responded, ”Then that's okay.”
”You don't have any more questions, Sir?” The man asked curiously as if he was more than ready to give Hecathe any answer he wanted.
”I don't,” Hecathe sighed.
He had questions, of course, but he was afraid this auctioneer wouldn't really be flattered to hear the questions that Hecathe had so he decided not to say much.
The man nodded as he heard this and flicked his finger as if giving out a signal.
In the very next moment, someone opened the locked door and came in with a food trolley on which there was a single egg placed.
Since Hecathe had seen the egg before, he could immediately recognize it as the Dorgon Egg.
'Master!!' The Egg called out enthusiastically as Hecathe saw it, but the man naturally ignored it.
”Actually, I take back what I said,” Hecathe clicked his tongue as his eyes narrowed down on the egg and he spoke, ”I want to ask you one last question.”
”Go ahead, Sir. I'm here to answer all of your questions,” The auctioneer beamed as he curiously waited for Hecathe.
”When is this thing going to hatch?”
”...” The auctioneer was speechless as he heard this question and he blinked in surprise as he slowly replayed Hecathe's question in his mind to make sure that he hadn't heard it wrong.
