Chapter 154 - I Want To Buy The Auction (1/2)

Memory erasing medicine...

Hecathe really couldn't understand what was the use of such a thing for Asgarian.

Did one of the other willows of spring find out about him so he now wants to erase their memory...?

This was a bit of a far-fetched answer but it was the only thing that Hecathe could come up with.

”Should we follow him out?” LeiLei asked as she saw the man leaving the place.

The auction was over and all the people attending had already started to leave. Asgarian was also among the people leaving, However, Hecathe was planning on staying back because he had something important to discuss with the auctioneer.

”Don't bother. Let him enjoy the fresh air of freedom for a bit longer,” Hecathe spoke as a response to LeiLei who simply nodded her head in understanding, ”We'll catch him when the time is right.”

Marvin didn't look to be too happy with this decision but was still willing to listen to Hecathe who was the one making all the decisions.

”What are we going to do now?” LeiLei asked curiously as she looked at Hecathe, ”Sir, you didn't even buy anything from the auction.”

”It's because nothing interested me and I am not really here to place a bid on the items displayed out there. I'm here to buy something that is not going to be sold here.”

LeiLei frowned as she heard this and wondered why the man was here to buy something that wasn't even being sold here...

Wasn't that the same as going to a meat shop to buy a broom?

It was basically pointless...

Marvin seemed to have already guessed what the man wanted to buy so he simply sighed and said nothing more as he followed Hecathe.

Hecathe led the other two all the way to a room that was always used by him and the auctioneer whenever Hecathe was here to sell the pure mutant beads.

As expected, the room was once again empty and as soon as the three entered, the auctioneer also came to the room soon enough.

The door of the room was guarded by people from the outside who made sure that there was nobody around to eavesdrop or interrupt and the room in itself was also soundproof which kept the details of the conversation private.

It was perfect for discussing things that one didn't want others to hear.

The auctioneer smiled as he saw Hecathe but his smile seemed to have faltered just a bit when his eyes landed on Marvin and LeiLei who were standing beside the man.

”You brought them as well?” The auctioneer raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile but Hecathe could clearly see that the man was not that happy to know that Hecathe had invited these two.

”I don't usually keep secrets from them and there is hardly anything about me that they don't know,” Hecathe smiled as he responded to the man in any honest manner, however, his words were certainly not that honest.

”In any case, today I wanted to talk about something that involved them as well so it's only natural that I invited them over,” Hecathe added politely and the auctioneer got a little surprised to hear this.

”Sir, Are you not here to sell pure mutant beads today?” The auctioneer asked as he looked at Hecathe.

Hecathe smirked as he heard this question and shook his head as he responded, ”I am here for something far more important and profitable for you.”

The auctioneer's eyebrows creased together with a bit of worry as he heard this and the man couldn't help but feel a little anticipation rising from within.

The auctioneer gestured towards the cushioned chairs as he spoke, ”Please do sit down and make yourselves home. We can talk comfortably.”

Hecathe nodded his head with a smile and didn't waste any further time standing as he sat down. Marvin and LeiLei were also not shy as they sat down on the cushioned chairs.

”Hecathe, why are we meeting the auctioneer for this?” Marvin asked in a whispering manner as he leaned in closer to Hecathe's ear.

The boy was clearly a bit confused with the turn of events.

He was sure that they were here to buy this auction house today but he had no idea how Hecathe planned to achieve such a thing.

The auction house was definitely not going to be on sale and even if it was, Marvin was sure that Hecathe wouldn't be able to afford it.

Hecathe let out a small breath that almost sounded like a half-suppressed chuckle and he gestured towards the auctioneer who sat in front of them, ”This is the owner of this place.”

”...”

Both Marvin and LeiLei were silent as they heard this and they repeated Hecathe's words in their mind as they looked at the auctioneer's smiling face and tried to make sure that they had heard the man right.

”It's a pleasure to meet you,” The auctioneer greeted the two as he spoke.

LeiLei closed her open mouth and gulped as she finally took the information in.
