It was not the Flynn Merchant Guild.

They were not at that level.

He was close to certain that his intuition was correct.

It was a more difficult existence to determine. That seemed to be the crazy bastard�s identity.

�It will start soon. How about we sit down for now?�

�Sure.�

Plavin realized that he had been overly anxious after hearing the assassin�s comment. His face underneath the beautiful mask was extremely nervous.

�The Flynn Merchant Guild�s successor apparently already entered terrace 4.�

Plavin was the last to enter terrace R. The staff of the Golden Tree Auction House had closed the entrance to the terrace as soon as he entered. Talented swordsmen were said to be guarding outside the door.

�But they�re probably still weaker than that crazy bastard.�

Plavin hated the person blackmailing him, but still wanted to see who it was.

�Is this what it feels like to be dragged around?�

The merchant guild leader had changed his goal after last night. The original goal was to reveal the person and take the necklace away, however, it had now changed into making a deal.

A mutually beneficial deal.

This meeting would not be too bad if it was a mutually beneficial deal. Plavin made up his mind to put his, �know-how,� that he had gained after so many years to use.

Of course, he had no idea that the phrase, �mutually beneficial deal,� was not in the other person�s mind.

Boom-

He started to hear the sound of a drum beating.

�It is starting.�

�Yes.�

Plavin sat up straight at the assassin�s words and casually looked down at the platform.

The auctioneer for the auction walked up to the beat of the drum. The auctioneer was also wearing a fancy mask as he spoke into the amplification magic device.

�Nice to meet you. Thank you very much for joining us in this new year celebration VIP auction.�

Contrary to his respectful tone, the auctioneer�s demeanor did not seem respectful at all. JrNovels.com
