Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Because of the upcoming grand auction by the Guardian's Auction House where a rumored Pseudo-Legendary item will be auctioned off, there were a lot of people coming to the city.

They were all from various rich families, organizations, or individuals who wanted to try their luck.

However, because of the huge influx of people, the problems with the security started showing up…

Many thieves started getting active and some bandits from outside the city were even able to enter the city as they started causing trouble.

"Hmph! You dare block my way! Piss off!"

A young nobleman followed by three beautiful girls bellowed at the badly injured person who was kneeling on the floor.

He even gave him a kick as the man was thrown several meters away.

This person tried to steal some money from the nobleman a while ago so no one from the crowd stop him.

Since he was wearing luxurious clothes and has three veiled female servants attending him, many thieves were certainly eyeing him.

However, they failed to recognize that even though he doesn't have tough-looking guards, his strength is still something they couldn't fathom.

Perhaps, if Vincent is here, he would recognize this person.

He's Joran from the Troy Clan! The same person who kill Kai from the Lucius Clan!"

This time, however, he was no longer just together with a couple of Numbered Celestials but including Kai's previous spear-wielding Celestial!

Of course, right now, no one can tell that those three servants were Celestial Beings as they do not look like warriors at all. With their slim and beautiful figure, they look like fragile women who need the protection of the young man.

"Tsk! You ruined my mood… Let's go!" Joran said as he decided to leave the place.

He seemed to be planning to look around and enjoy the city but after getting interrupted by the thief, he decided to find a different place.

It was at this point that another problem came…

Boom!

One of the large taverns within the city suddenly had an explosion followed by a large fire. The explosion was so powerful as the ground trembled for a moment.

"Celestials!"

"The Celestials fighting yesterday has come back!"

"Inside the city?! This is going too far!"

"What are the Knights doing?! Useless things!"

The people started cursing the authorities who couldn't stop this from happening!

For sure, many people were caught in that fire and explosion considering the size of that tavern.

Joran looked at the burning tavern while the people started running away in the opposite direction. He seemed to be deep in thought before he decided to get closer.

"This… Why are there so many people?"

Vincent couldn't help but be surprised after seeing that the streets were filled with people.

Right now, he's together with Therese and other employees of the Auction House as they were worried about the explosion they heard.

Soon, they found out that a near tavern exploded as two Celestial Beings started battling inside.

"Celestial Beings?! This is not good…" Therese frowned after realizing that the ones causing trouble were the Celestials. Their battles are always destructive after all.

Luckily, the destruction didn't spread that far yet and only affected a single tavern.

Right now, the Knights of the city guards should be taking care of the vicinity.

"I heard that this is the territory of a count. Can't they handle two Celestial Beings?" Vincent asked curiously.

In this dangerous world, there was no way that the protector of the city would be so weak, right? There are only two Celestial Beings after all.

Although the number of Celestial Beings is small and they rarely appear, Vincent felt that this large city should have someone capable of dealing with such a problem!

"As long as they aren't Numbered Celestials, it should be alright… The Count should have enough forces to deal with this. It's just a matter of time." Therese answered as she worriedly look at the tavern.

"Oh…" Vincent didn't comment and only acknowledged her words.s

"Hmph! Ignorant… I'm sure you don't even know about their existence. I already checked your background, the Arum Village you reported isn't existing anywhere in this region! Miss Therese, instead of gossiping here, you should fire this person already." Maurice suddenly spoke aloud which attracted the attention of the other personnel of the Auction House.

Behind him was the old man who was accepted yesterday and currently working as a Trainee. This made Vincent finally realize why this guy was targeting him.

It seems that he's acquainted with this old man and wanted him to take Vincent's position as Junior Appraiser instead.

"Haa~ So it's like that… Your friend here can't wait to become a Junior Appraiser so you wanted me to pack up and leave the Auction House, huh." Vincent said as he revealed the person's obvious plan.

Of course, Therese understood what was going on as well as he gave Maurice a disdainful look. Nevertheless, she still curiously asked Vincent about the Arum Village. There are still strict rules regarding the background of the people being hired in their Auction House after all.

"Miss Therese… Instead of me explaining, just look at this instead so you can confirm my identity." Vincent said with a mysterious smile while handing out the documents he just received from Yvette yesterday.

As soon as Therese saw his proof that he's indeed not any criminal but instead an honorary knight of the Marshall Family, she looked hatefully at Maurice startling him in the process.

"W-what?" Maurice exclaimed nervously.

Apparently, in recognition of Vincent's efforts for saving Yvette, Count Miller Marshall had also given him this identity!

It appears that Count Marshall truly loves Yvette to be this thankful or the latter was just too good at storytelling and vividly described the heroic acts of saving her.

Anyway, with such a title given to him, moving around various places was definitely a lot easier now. It's also a good start in case he needed some proof once he visited the Zemin Clan where his arranged marriage partner was.

"T-that must be fake!" Maurice seem to have gone mad as soon as he saw his title as an honorary knight.

Vincent wanted to also show the medallion he received together with it but suddenly, a group of soldiers started marching toward the burning tavern and were about to pass the Auction House.

"Vincent!"

As he was admiring the sight of the disciplined soldiers marching ahead, a familiar voice coming from an alluring lady called out his name.
