With the end of the bidding of the Marked White Light Pill, the auction come to an end. Yet, despite it have already ended, many people still talked about what they saw.
As the crowd discuss over the appearance of the pills, and which Alchemist could have make it, the one who create it weave around the crowd, slowly arriving in front of the auctioneer and the owner of the auction house.
"Are you here to pay for the things you bid young man?" the owner, a man with golden hair asked, not bothering to beat around the bush.
"Yes, and to get you to pay my commission," this earned a confused and later enraged glare from the man.
"What are you-" at the moment, the portly slave trader come, appearing before the man.
"Oh, young master. I hope the result of the pill you gave me is to your satisfaction," he asked, looking into Ryker's eyes.
"Of course. In fact, it is more than I could imagine. I have to thank you for giving it in my behalf," he replied.
"My rewards are more than substantial enough, young master," the portly man turned towards the owner of the auction house and a frown emerged.
"Don't you hear him. Give him the item he is owed as well as the money. Give him 200 000 gold coins. As for the commission and the price of the item and slave he bought, you can take that from the pills he sold as well as what I get from selling the Marked Formation Enhancement Pill," he said, the man nodding so fast Ryker fear his head would fell off.
As the men ran towards the back, Ryker looked at the portly man, "Why did you do that?" he asked. After all, he could easily pay for all the items and commission by himself.
"Let just say, it is to be on your good side," he replied. Ryker shook his head before turning towards the auctioneer.
"You," he said, causing the woman to froze.
"Y-yes," she is rarely intimidated by the young man in front of her is clearly a big shot.
"Do you have any of the clothes you currently wearing?" out of all the question, she never expect to hear such strange one.
"Yes," she replied, wondering where this is going.
"How much for one?" the auctioneer would have asked if he was joking if not for his serious face.
"I want to buy some for my lovers, and the new slave I bought as well,"
-x-
In the end, he bought three auctioneer clothes for 10 gold coins. Slightly expensive but he did not care. After all, he did not even used the wealth he accumulated, only using the one he get from selling the Marked Pills.
He turned towards his newest slave, or only slave. Era is a family member and a lover at this point.
Despite the predicament she is in, and her future fate, one she likely knew off, she remained calm, keeping her head down like she knew her place.
If not for the fact he never see her Family, he would not mind destroying them as well. For now, he need to greet the coming visitors.
"When will you come out of hiding? I can hear you from a street away," he said, looking at the hiding place of the Craw Family member.
They soon come out, quickly surrounding him. He check their cultivation realm and sighed. All of them possess 5th Stage Genesis Formation cultivation and above, with the strongest being a 5th Stage Genesis Condensing expert.
While he could hold him, it would be hard to do so while being surrounded by the group of thugs called Craw Family.
"Know your place worm. Surrender willingly and we will make sure to give you our best slave treatment," the third young master said with a sneer. His eyes then landed on the blonde slave, a lecherous smile forming on his face.
"Give us everything you have, and we will treat you well," the first young master said, looking calm like he did not just threaten someone and instead asking them to come for a visit.
"Yeah, sorry, I don't want to do that," he replied, looking bored.
"Do you not realize the position you ar-" "Big brother, he clearly deluded, thinking his status would be enough to stop us. Jokes on you, we do anything we want," the third young master cut of the first young master, looking at Ryker like he is stupid.
Ryker merely shook his head before asking, "Like the rest of slaves you get. From the settlements, one that manage to get away,"
His words seem to stuck a chord as the two looked grim.
"How did you-" his words die in his throat as Ryker removed his disguise, looking at the two of them in absolute hatred.
"Two trash that did not know their place. Handle the rest. Leave those two to me," when the third young master about to open his mouth, a group of people appeared, surrounding the Craw Family's members.
The Craw all paled as they saw the insignia of the guards.
"Craw Family! You are under arrest for kidnapping, stealing, and selling illegal slaves. Anyone that did not surrender willingly will be killed!" one of the guard exclaimed, in his hand a scroll containing the crimes of the Craw Family and their punishment.
"Ru-" the first young master did not manage to finish his words when Ryker grabbed both him and the third young master by the face, slamming them into the ground with enough force to form a crater.
One by one, the remaining members of the Craw Family were taken down, some permanently. In no time, the survivors were rounded by the guards, even the two young masters, though their face definitely did not survive.
"Young master, thank you for your help," the leading guard, a peak Genesis Condensing expert said his gratitude.
Ryker merely smiled, "I don't do this for Alten City. It just they keep on targeting me and my loved one. So, I decide to destroy their entire family,"
The guards could not help but shiver at the sight of his smile, one that did not reflect the rage inside. They decided to not anger the young man, less they suffer the same fate.
