Chapter 39 - Chapter 39 Avoiding the trouble and drama.

The Contract was signed by both parties dropping some blood on it a while later.

From that moment on the auction house was responsible for the item and if something happened to it they would have to compensate for it.

-I will come back after the auction to receive the money.

Paul said and left.

Once he left the room the young girl who brought him there entered.

-Grandfather should we send someone to follow him?

She asked the old man.

-There is no need for that, he is only the middleman and won't contact his employer until the auction ends and he has the money.

-As you wish, should I send the invitations to the auction now?

-Yes, send them to every house in the city and all the guilds.

Inform them that this time the main event is an auction of a Mana carrot.

The old man smiled greadily.

-This will make us rich and famous again.

He said when the girl left to send the invitations.

The news about the Mana carrot spread like wildfire and before Paul even reached his home there were already people investigating the owner of the item.

But all they found out was that it was bright by a mercenary who served as a middleman.

Paul knew that once the news broke out, all the powerful factions would investigate and that was why he didn't want to bring Mia and Maya along as that would give them away.

What he didn't know was that all these factions would scramble to prepare for the auction.

Suddenly the auction was flooded by alchemists wanting to sell their pills and potions, weapon crafters with their best weapons, and many other people who wanted to use this opportunity to earn more money or raise the funds necessary for buying the main event item.

In less than an hour the neighboring cities also heard about the auction and the factions there were also getting ready to send their people as such an event was not common even in the capital city not to mention in White Falls town.

Unaware of the massive waves that he had created, Paul went around the town for some time, just to be sure that he was not followed before he changed into his normal clothes in an abandoned building and went home.

He was greeted by Mia and Maya who were ready to go on their date and looked stunning in their new dresses and some simple jewelry.

-Ladies give me a moment to change and wash up.

Paul said and went to get ready.

A few moments later he came down wearing his new robes.

He wore a black outfit decorated with delicate embroidery made with a silver thread.

Seeing him in this outfit for the first time both girls jaws dropped seeing how handsome he looked they were not the only ones as the maids were just as shocked and one of them almost hit the wall because she was looking at him instead of the way she was going.

However, this was nothing compared to the effect they all had when they were standing next to each other.

While they strolled through the town, people's gazes followed them as they were just too unique not to attract attention.

Most young men wished to take Paul's place and walk around with beauty on each arm while many young women would like to trade places with Maya and Mia since Paul was not only handsome but by the looks of it he was also wealthy.

Unfortunately for them, wishing was all they could do.

Paul, Mia, And Maya looked like they belonged to a wealthy family and it was never a good idea to provoke such people.

Soon they entered a restaurant to have a meal.

Not the expensive restaurant that all the young masters and misses attended but a normal one.

This shocked the onlookers and even the personnel inside.

-Young master, Young ladies, how can we serve you today?

The owner hurriedly came to greet the guests.

-A private room for three.

Paul said

-Of course this way, please.

The owner personally took them to the room.

It was his first time having such distinguished guests so he was doing all within his power to satisfy them.

Paul ordered some tee and looked through the menu before ordering their meal witch was a small feast since he was hungry.

-Darling why did you pick this restaurant instead of the more luxurious-looking one?

Mia asked when the waitress went to get their order.

-Because there is a good chance that a bunch of young nobles is sitting there right now and they love to stir up trouble and create drama.

Also, most of the restaurants that serve the nobility rely on their reputation to keep the nobles coming there but the food is not that great and you need to have a reservation to get a room or even a table.

On the other hand, a restaurant like this is a bit less luxurious but the food is good and there are no trouble makers to spoil our meal.

The ladies were a bit sceptic about this explanation but once the food arrived their scepticism evaporated.

Every dish was delicious even if it lacked the arrangements that were common in higher class restaurants.

What's more, the portions were generous instead of the one or two-bite portions in the luxurious restaurants for which you had to pay a fortune.

They had a great time and the girls had to admit this was a superior choice.

Paul had also another reason for choosing this place but he would never tell the girls about it.

He knew that both girls were foodies and loved not only to have tasty food but also wanted to have a lot of it.

It was already dark outside when they decided to return home.

-Bill, please.

Paul said to the waitress who was waiting for their orders.

-Yes young master.

She said and went to get it.

When Paul saw the amount, he thought it was a mistake.

They had a feast and drank some good wine but the total was only thirty-five silvers.

This was ridiculous as he remembered the one time he took the girls to the restaurant when they were shopping and a way smaller meal cost him two gold coins.

A moment later he remembered that it was one of the more expensive and luxurious restaurants.

Well since that was the case Paul left a tip of ten silvers before they left the place.

The owner walked them out personally.

-Thank you for your patronage.

The man said with a big smile on his face.

-Thank you for your hospitality and compliments to the chef.

Paul said and left.

Coincidentally there was a group of young nobles leaving another restaurant.

They were momentarily stunned when they saw Paul, Mia, and Maya walking out of the normal restaurant and even complimenting the chef.

What stunned them even more was the beauty of the ladies and the three young ladies with them were also quite interested in Paul.
