Chereads / Return of the Shaman / Chapter 13 - ch 13

Chapter 13 - ch 13

You are probably wondering why I waited until now to do anything about Adam. The reason I hadn't was simple I don't know if he had any magical backers which was why I did nothing at my old home but I was pleasantly surprised when I bumped into him again at the hotel's grand opening using this I forced Delru's hand making her reveal herself as my backer therefore any magical force that supported Adam would immediately dump him in order not to offend the dark elves.

After Adam and Daisy were taken to a holding area in the hotel to be dealt with later and the other idiot escorted out while he continously apologized the whole way hoping that someone would come to his aid or that we would forgive him, the air was tense as everyone seemed reluctant to continue to enjoy the party it was not until after some gentle prodding by Delru that crowd calmed down and returned to being festive it wasn't long before it was finally time for the auction.

Me:"Good evening ladies and gentlemen I would like to announce that it is finally time for the event that I am sure some of you have been eagerly awaiting and will try not to waste too much of your time (pause for polite laughs) tonight's auction will be a reflection of all the auctions to come with unique and lost arts that will be impossible to find anywhere else with that I would like to invite our VIP's to join us in upstairs auction area.

Of course most thought this was just simple bragging as they didn't think this would amount to much except maybe one or two items of true value deserving of such high praise and maybe a few rare slaves of course no one dared to admit that except the mages and cultivators but I didn't take any of it to heart as I knew that there opinions would soon change.

When the auction first started an old homeless woman who had only recently been bathed was brought out this of course led to many people murmuring amongst themselves most in disappointment until Chynna acting as the hostess came out on stage in yet another amazing dress radiating power silencing everyone with just her presence.

Chynna:"Good evening guests of tonight's auction the first item is not something common so a demonstration was put together for your convenience this worn out old woman was a great beauty in her youth but foolishly she offended a powerful young master and her family was destroyed and forced to live in the streets tonight we will give her back her youth!"

Immediately whispering began most claiming it impossible but the scared old woman was still forced to drink the vial by the attendant not spilling a drop a whole minute passed before nothing happened then a mage association member began to heckle and others joined in Delru looked at me nervously but I remained calm she was finally going to interven but before she could the whole room became silent as the old woman skin began to tighten and toned flush with a youthful glow her hair scraggly and gray became shiny, lustrous and bright looking almost like starlight every scar vanished and all excess fat melted off except for where it was needed the once old woman became a silver haired beauty with an amazing figure that entranced the audience.

Chynna:"Now that our demonstration is over do I have any opening bids but be warned their is only one vial left"

It became nearly impossible for people to calm down as people began to bid with fervor especially the women it wasn't long until some rushed to contact their higher ups for more funding trying to acquire this potion eventually an old woman in dress clearly meant for someone younger and heavy makeup won she paid immediately then drank the entire vial it wasn't long before she became radiant beauty herself grasping attention of every man and the envy of every woman after that no one dared to ridicule any item that followed instead fought for every item bidding in hopes to acquire even just one.

When I was satisfied that tonight was a massive success I excused myself to handle some personal matters. In the the hotel's secret holding area away from public scrutiny was Adam and Daisy locked in separate cells, Adam was trying convince Daisy that it wasn't his fault and that he was sorry while Daisy just seemed terrified looking at him like he was some kind of monster as if she was finally seeing him for the first time.

Me:"Adam I am so disappointed hitting a woman how far have you fallen"

Adam:"You! This is your fault!"

Me:"Adam can you hear yourself how is this my fault did I make you insult those people was it me that assaulted Daisy infront of some the most influential people in the city? You need to take responsibility for your transgressions instead of trying to blame others"

Adam:"I don't know how you did this but I know it was you now let me out of here!"

Me:"Of course that is why I am here you think I want to keep a hazzard like you I only put you here so you wouldn't harm any of my guests"

I signal one of the guards to open the door to his cell as he was watching the guard open his cell door I summoned one of my parasitic spirits that looked similar to a centipede and sent it deep into his soul.

Adam:"Hurry up and let Daisy out so we can leave"

Me:"I think not you have already proven to be very abusive if she wants to stay I will permit her to" we both turn to Daisy

Daisy:"I want to stay...."

Adam:"I Fucking knew it you ungrateful cunt and don't be so smug Sebastián those rich bitches entertained by you now but soon they will get bored of you and you will go back to sewer where you belong" ranting and raving as security dragged him out

Me:"Until then goodbye Adam" I say with a smile

I wasn't done with either of them although Daisy believe some part of me still loves her she is wrong that man died a long time ago she just doesn't know it yet but she will as for Adam I have many fun things planned for him.
