Necromancer Of The Shadows

"Hahaha, that guy must be pissed off, right?" Cedar laughed loudly and nodded his head in satisfaction once Lucian closed the bid.

'This crazy bit*h...' Evan was speechless when he saw Cedar laughing with a gloating look on his face and did not know what to say.

100 Million!

That was fu*king one hundred million high-level essence stones. Evan was thinking that Cedar just announced the bid in order to mess with the people. In his opinion, it was impossible for Cedar to have one hundred million high-level essence stones.

'Should we run?' Evan thought inwardly, but after remembering there were many high-level people present in the auction, he realized that it was impossible for them to run away.

Just when Evan was lost in his thoughts, someone knocked on the door of their room. Evan came back to his senses and looked towards the door with his mouth twitching.

"Come in," Cedar said in a calm voice upon hearing the knock. In contrast to Evan, he remained absolutely calm.

Soon, the door of their room opened, and the winged woman whom they had met earlier entered the room.

"Sir, all the things that you purchased are ready. Please come with me," the winged woman said in a respectful voice.

Cedar nodded his head hearing the winged woman and stood up.

He looked at Evan who was still sitting on the couch and patted his shoulder.

"Let's go," He said with a smug smile on his face as if he already knew what Evan was thinking.

Seeing Cedar's smug smile, Evan really wanted to slap him but he controlled himself and stood up.

In order to not disclose the information of the buyers, each private room was connected with a different pathway.

Both Cedar and Evan followed the winged woman, who led them to the deeper area of the auction house through one of the private pathways so that no one would be able to see them.

'Why do I feel like you want to beat the sh*t out of me?' Cedar asked Evan as both of them followed the winged woman.

Evan glanced at Cedar from the corner of his eyes and took a deep breath.

'Do you really have one hundred million high-level essence stones?' He asked in a serious voice.

'Do you think I would have bid 100 million if I didn't have the amount?' Cedar asked in a speechless voice when he heard Evan's question.

Evan looked at Cedar for a few seconds before nodding his head. Although he still felt something was wrong, he decided to not think about it for the time being.

The winged woman soon brought Evan and Cedar into the deeper area of the auction house and stopped in front of a room.

"Please go inside, Master Lucian is waiting for you." The winged woman said after stopping in front of the room.

Evan raised an eyebrow when he heard it was Lucian who was going to give them their items, but after thinking about the ridiculous amount that Cedar bid for the Enlightenment Stone, he realized that it was natural for a high-level evolver to deal with this matter.

"Thanks for leading the way," Cedar thanked the winged woman and entered the room. Evan followed after him and saw Lucian waiting for them inside.

Seeing Cedar and Evan, Lucian's face bloomed like a rose, and he smiled.

"Welcome, dear guests. Please have a seat," Lucian said in a polite voice and poured tea for them in two cups.

Seeing Lucian acting like this, Evan had to admit that money is the real bi*ch. Even a Rank Three Core Evolver was treating them with respect because of the power of money.

"Thank you for your hospitality, Sir Lucian, but you see, we are in a hurry, and I am sure you also don't want to waste your time in meaningless chat, so why don't we get straight to business," Cedar said with a smile on his face after taking a seat.

Lucian's eyes flashed when he heard Cedar and a small smile appeared on his handsome face. He could understand that Cedar and Evan wanted to leave as soon as possible so that people wouldn't be able to find out their identity.

If their identities were revealed, it was obvious that many people would target them and try to snatch the Enlightenment Stone from them.

Lucian took out three storage rings from his pockets and gave them to Cedar.

"In the first storage ring, there are 4.55 million mid-level essence stones that we collected after auctioning the artefact and the source pills..." Lucian said and added with a smile on his face. "Usually, we charge a 10% auction fee, but we didn't charge anything this time to show our sincerity. We hope that you will continue to do business with us even in the future."

Cedar nodded his head hearing Lucian and looked inside the other two storage rings.

After seeing the jet-black airship and the Enlightenment Stone in the other two storage rings, Cedar's eyes shined like stars and he stood up.

He took out a storage ring from his pocket and gave it to Lucian.

"Here are the one hundred and three million high-level essence stones."

When Lucian heard Cedar, his eyes instantly lit up. He quickly took the storage ring from Cedar's hands and looked inside it.

One hundred and three million high-level essence stones was not a small amount and even though the auction house would only take 10% of it, it was still more than enough to make Lucian's heart beat in excitement.

Lucian looked inside the storage ring using his spiritual senses, hoping to see a mountain of high-level essence stones, but when he looked inside the ring, he was dumbfounded because the ring was completely empty.

"What the..." Lucian was so shocked that he didn't know what to say. After a moment, he finally came back to his senses and looked at Cedar.

"Dear guest, I think you have given me the wr_-" Lucian wanted to tell Cedar that he had given him the wrong storage ring, but his words got stuck in his mouth when he raised his head and looked at Cedar.

Upon raising his head, Lucian saw Cedar and Evan were glowing with silver light, and their bodies were gradually disappearing.

"My apologies, Sir Lucian, I forgot to bring my essence stones. Please wait here for me, I will bring them in just a few centuries..." Cedar said with an embarrassed expression on his face and before Lucian could register his words, silver light flashed, and Evan and Cedar disappeared from the star city.
