Clearly confused the host tried to inquire more for the reason.
"Why you, you can't do this. We have been working with the government for a long time. Why now?"
"Yes, you're right but you have Crossed the line this time."
"I don't think you people have the right to do this."
As they were arguing a voice of a man resounded, and when one looks up, they will see a huge man with a big beer belly looking down to the people below.
"Auction House Master." As the officer said the man is the master of the auction house.
"Hello to as well officer." As he greeted the officer he got down and with a tremor everyone shook as though an earthquake erupted.
"I think we need to talk about this quietly don't you think."
"No need, we have already made out our thoughts on this."
"Is that so then I guess I have to change your mind."
Taking out his weapon he charged at the officials.
"Everyone maintains formation!"
With that as the signal the soldiers tried to block the attack. At first, they were able to hold on but another blow destroyed their formation.
But amidst all this they swap with another group continuing the destroyed formation.
Seeing this the Auction house master just smirked and declared.
"Don't think you can talk your way out in this one."
"We don't need to."
"Heh so that's why you are brave you got their support."
He said looking at the newcomer.
"Mr. Governor, I have played by the rules. How come you break our bonds just like that?"
"You yourself know why we are doing this you step the line and it was too much. You think I wouldn't know how the economy of this city changed so fast?"
"Oh, how come you are blaming this on me?"
"Because you made sure the news spread your as*h*le.
"My, my, to think you had such a temper. Let me cool it down for you, .
"Not gonna happen ."
"Heh, this would be a long fight. If I am alone that is."
As he said that a group of people came out of the back of the auction house.
"Well then let's see if you can do anything to me now?"
~~~~~~~~~~
After the person left with Litia, I blanked out not knowing what to do.
"Sir he took big sis what should we do?"
"""Uuuu."""
Only upon hearing Jake's voice did I regain myself and started to take actions as there are a lot of kids.
"Sorry, for now we need to escape, follow me."
"Okay." With no choice I guided the kids outside and when we got out, we met with a group of enemies.
Still not wanting the kids to get caught in charge onto them and knocking them fast before they can even react.
'I guess lightning acceleration is already in my control. But that guy earlier is faster. How did he do that?'
Later on, I guided the kids out to the main hall and found another group of people but this time I was glad.
"Sir Bolt it's you."
"I thought you were not going to help us."
"Sorry I had to get here in advance so being with you would slow me down."
"I see but even so please inform us ahead of time."
"Sorry about that, also can you guys take care of these kids for me."
"Sure, no problem we are already in control with most of the area here."
Hearing their questions Jayven made an excuse on the spot and good thing they accepted it. So now that he met with these soldiers, he asked them to take of the kids which they agreed.
"Good, I will be going then."
"What is the matter sir?"
"I still need to save someone."
Having secured the kids safety I left to save Litia.
'Well then buddy help me with this.'
Once I was outside, I summoned Titan and gave him a piece of clothing to find Litia.
And later on, he smelled it and thought for a moment and turned his head to a certain direction.
'Kuu.'
"I see so it's there. Thank you, buddy, let's go."
Following Titan's direction, we were then headed to the outside of the auction house and using my lightning acceleration I found them in no time.
I then boost myself, accelerating my three cores at a faster rate exceeding my previous limit.
"Why are you so persistent?" As he said that he then vanished again.
So that's why he easily vanishes from my field of view, he has the ability to teleport. No wonder he was able to escape fast, but he didn't get far.
Even as he teleported he seems to be only to get so far which leads me to think that there is a limit to his teleportation ability.
Knowing he can't get away he suddenly shifted his view and we arrived at an abandoned noble house.
Then glaring at Litia he said in an annoyed tone.
"Tch, I really want to kill you right now if I didn't need you dead kid."
"Nng."
"There's nowhere to run unhand her right now or face the consequence."
"Did you think I was running away because I was afraid of fighting?"
He then turned to look at me and announced his stance.
"No I wasn't. I am just trying to gain enough time but since this kid is tying me down then I guess that leaves me no choice but to face you."
He then released a huge amount of mana seeing this I realized that he really wasn't joking when he said that he was not trying to run away.
"Give me your best shot so I can end this in one go."
I don't know what he wants but he clearly is in althe advantage here. Still I can't back down as the only goal I need is to save Litia after that we can leave.
Boosting my strength with gravity impact and Lightning boost I charged at the man hoping to catch him off guard but like before he easily dodged it.
"Take this!"
With a kick he pushed me to the wall. As expected his strength is at rank 6.
"Seeing your reaction I guess you realize the difference in our strength well then let- Agh!"
As he was about to attack he let out a yell and when that happened Litia was able to escape out of his reach seeing this I dashed forward and caught her.
"Are you okay?"
"Y-yeah, but what happened."
'Kuuh.'
Hearing that I realized what happened. 'So it was you Bud. Nice shot.'
Upon closer inspection there was a piece of shell hitting the man. Seeing this the man pulled it out and glared at me.
"To think you can hit me with a sneak attack that kid really disrupts my ability if not for it I would not have been hit."
Hearing that made me look at Litia.
Noticing my glance she answered.
"I have an ability that can take over an area that is within the reach of my vision."
That's like my Mana Domain but somehow different. Her's is the size of her vision but mine is the reach of my mana.
"Well then can you continue to help me."
"Okay."
"Are you done talking? Then get ready."
~~~~~~~~~
Currently in the auction house the battle ensued with great vigor as two sides were fighting.
"It's been a long time since a fight happened between us, I am really enjoying this."
"Not for me though."
"Lighten up will ya."
"Not gonna happen."
"What a- oh now this is getting even more annoying."
As they were about to continue clashing a sudden intervention arose.
"Long time no see."
"Even the guild is in this? What a cowardly tactic you have here isn't it guild master."
He said glaring at the new arrival the guild master.
"What are you talking about? I am just here to meet an old friend."
"Is this how old friends meet nowadays?"
"If it is a friend like you then yes."
"Mr governor we are almost done here."
As the three were fighting a soldier came forth and announced the battle's current situation.
"Great, keep it up."
"Tch."
"Heh I guess gathering a bunch of thugs still makes them a thug, they can't even hold on against a few of our soldiers."
Noticing their advantage the guild master gloated to the auction house master.
"I guess you people leave me no choice."
As he said that he went to one of the attendee's. He took one of their items, which is a box.
"No you can't, I need that."
"Sorry Mr. Customer but whether I live and you guys get your items or I get caught and your items taken from you."
"Oh no you don't!"
"Heh take this. Then taking out the item from the box his power boosted forcing the governor and the guild master to be pushed back."
"Ugh."
"Gah."
"Tch, he so that's what's inside the box."
"Dragon stone. This is the second time I saw this year."
"Do you mean?"
"Yeah it happened during that incident."
"Those pure elementalists?"
"That's right."
Recalling what happened the governor was surprised.
