"Liona! Catch the thief! Don't let anyone get out of the palace! Aggh… Mmm!..." Junior Swine gave command to the Auction Palace's security system, however, his mouth was blocked by Old Swine's hand. When he went into defensive mode, he was stumped on his foot by his father.
"Rascal! Did I give birth to you to bring my doom nearer?!" Old Swine's whole face turned red in anger! He wished to slap this reckless son to the ground!
Calling someone a thief who had a mecha was like saying a king had stolen a candy!
"..." Junior Swine couldn't say anything as his father summoned the security system and a pair of metallic hands dragged him out of the auction hall.
…
Phiphi did emergency teleportation alongside the pearl. When it got the pearl, it was so happy that Cardinal thought it had gotten the biggest gift of its life.
[It will make a good table lamp.]
Phiphi began to push it towards a hidden corner of Kayra's mind space by its round body.
On the other hand, Levin D'razure was stunned when Kayra vanished so suddenly. He glanced around and tried to detect her aura but he didn't detect her breath in the whole Auction Palace.
At that time, Cardinal had already left the Auction Planet and heeded into the unknown! Fwish~
Kayra, who was unaware of the spark she had caused in that dragon's heart didn't know that she had left an everlasting hollowness in that mighty lord's heart who then became mad to find her.
If she knew… she would have laughed to death! Hehe~
Levin realized she had somehow left the planet, bypassing the security system. He closed his eyes and communicated with the spaceship.
'Shadow knight, did you see any mecha leaving?'
'No, my lord.'
In the next moment, Levin D'razure's eyes turned glaring white. In that whiteness, red lines appeared, making him look extremely terrifying and… handsome~
'Receive this lord's command! Find her for me!'
The booming voice of the man echoed throughout the whole planet which could only be heard by his people. Also, he commanded all the dragons alongside his guards scattered in the universe to find her for him.
Also, from his consciousness, he sent a copy of her image to all of them. Not long after, many people rushed to carry out the order.
Unbeknownst to Kayra, a fierce chase started in the whole δ-solar system.
After giving the command, Levin D'razure turned to Old Swine. As he stepped towards him, all the killing intent was directed at him.
'Thief...' Levin D'razure remembered this word clearly. Accusing someone of stealing was disgracing and humiliating to any person.
He was angered further when he recalled the disdainful look some people threw at Kayra.
The old man heard the sound of his bone-breaking and a terrifying pain transmitted to every cell of his body. He felt the fat in his body was being cooked!
The man kneeled on the stage and begged in fear, "Lord, have mercy! I am innocent!"
"You dare to have the intention to sell her in the auction! The gut of you!" As Levin D'razure looked down on the sweating man, Old Swine felt he was looking down on a pile of flesh.
A gigantic dragon materialized behind Levin D'razure. The appearance of it attracted the clouds to gather in the sky above him and soon after they heard sounds of mighty lightning creaking in the sky.
Creak~ Crack… Boom! Boom!
Boom!
All the clouds around the grey planet began to rush and condensed above his location. Then, powerful lighting started to descend on the Auction Palace with all their might.
The dragon's avatar flew towards Old Swine, opening his mouth and baring his sharp fangs towards the old man.
"Lord! Lord have mercy!" Old Swine shuddered as he backed away. Noticing the upcoming danger, he shouted, "I will hand over Miss Van to you!"
"Oh? You can?" Levin D'razure smirked dangerously and Old Swine nodded hastily. Without anyone's help, he got up and then shouted while looking toward the south.
"Liona! Find Miss Van's data from the guest database!"
The security system began to search in the huge database and took 1 second to give a reply.

"Ah! Try to find the girl who had just left!" Old Swine wiped his sweat as he began to panic. He dared not look towards Levin D'razure because the dragon was still baring his sharp and ferocious fangs at him.
[404 not found.]
'I am done for!' Old Swine thought in panic and turned to Levin. The latter smiled and asked.
"Want more time?"
Old Swine embarrassedly bowed down until his head touched the ground and shouted, "My lord, let me investigate the matter. I will surely give you satisfactory results! Also..."
While staring at the ground, he whispered, "I can give the holy crane's heart to my lord as compensation…"
Even if he would violate his own rules, before his safety, all other things were fickle. Hearing that he would give the heart, Levin's violent heart calmed down a little.
He threw a card towards Old Swine. The old man struggled to grab it in midair and asked hesitantly.
"Is this for the heart? But lord, I want to give the heart for free." While saying that, Old Swine's heart shook when he saw the card. The amount displayed on it was 3x than the real price of the heart and pearl combined.
"This lord only appreciates 'gifts' from those close to him." Levin D'razure made his intention clear.
He wouldn't let others have any chance to ask for a favor in the future with something they did in the past.
Old Swine realized that the card was in exchange for the heart and Peace Pearl. Thus, he didn't have any reason to seek Kayra for the pearl anymore.
Old Swine smiled awkwardly and bowed, "Thanks, my lord."
However, the man was looking towards the bed where Kayra was sleeping earlier. Earlier, the woman had left with the Peace Pearl, leaving the bed behind.
