Melina and I had forged our identification cards as Guanghua citizens while inside Ling's inn room.
The supposed slave auction would take place the following night, so we had a little over 24 hours to do something about it.
My first plan was to attend as a noble and "buy" the slaves, then simply send them somewhere safe with the magic quartz. However, while this was the most peaceful approach, it could also be pretty risky.
I had a lot of money, but I was by no means the richest person in the world. Honestly, I didn't really need it for anything.
If I ever needed something, like a house, food, or clothing, I could easily get it myself without relying on a single piece of silver coin.
'A super rich noble could probably outbid me, and that would defeat the purpose of our plan…' I thought.
"Ling, what are you going to be doing until the auction?" I asked the woman.
