Chapter 40 - Kiera
"You."
Listening to that voice again, Uriel became very angry. When he was about to bid again, he was stopped by his disciple.
"Elder, I don't think we should keep fighting for these pills. The spiritual artifact is much more important for us. If you want those pills, then we can keep an eye over that compartment. After he leaves the auction hall, we can rob him." The disciple had a sinister smile on his face.
"In this way, we can get both the pills and the spiritual artifact. Hehe..."
Listening to his disciple, Uriel finally smiled and patted his shoulder. "You are a really good disciple. After we return, I will guide you in your cultivation."
Then he looked in the direction of Davion, and said, "Boy, you can have it. But the spiritual artifact, you can forget about it."
Then he returned back to his compartment with his disciple.
In another compartment, Timothy said to his disciples, "It looks like Uriel still has some brain. But I know his character. He is not the person to give up that easily. He might even have the plan of following that person. So, you guys should also keep an eye on that compartment."
"It looks like that boy is in trouble."
"Yeah, he should not have angered the elder of the Heavy Sound Sect. Especially Uriel. He even has a record of killing a golden stage cultivator."
While the people were talking about it, Davion was also a bit scared in his compartment.
"I acted really cool earlier. But I have made an enemy. I don't know if I can fight a golden stage cultivator now."
"Whatever, it's useless to think about that right now. Anyway, it is really worth it. I might even level up after taking those pills."
While he was thinking, he again heard a knock coming from the door.
"You may enter."
It was the same girl who had come earlier. This time she was carrying a bottle of pills in her hand. There were two shiny white pills inside it.
Seeing this, his eyes lit up. With his Mid-Eye, he could feel that the breath coming from this pill was at least twice as strong as the one he had consumed earlier.
"Sir, you are quite rich. You even won the bid against the elder of the Heavy Sound Sect." She covered her mouth and smiled.
Davion shook his head. "I have big trouble now. I don't think he will give up that easily."
He took out another ring where he had already kept the 3500 spirit stones. He, as before, passed her the ring and took the bottle from her hands.
Then he stood up and said, "I should get going now. They are here for the spiritual artifact. So, this is the perfect time to leave."
The girl looked at the ring in her hand and said, "You are a generous person. There is a secret path from which you can easily leave the auction hall unnoticed. This might be the way I can repay you for these rings."
Davion looked at her and got worried. "Won't this be troublesome for you?"
She smiled, "Nope, it won't be. So, you can wait for the spiritual artifact now. If that artifact impresses you, you might as well buy it. Then I will take you out from here secretly."
Davion looked a little embarrassed, "Actually, I don't have any spirit stones remaining. So, I want to leave."
She laughed out loud, "You are really an interesting person. My name is Keira. Who knows we might have a chance to meet in the future? So, don't forget my name."
"My name is Davion. So, don't forget about me too." Davion also smiled.
She winked at him and said, "Follow me. We are leaving."
*****
A few hours later, in the auction hall, everyone had left and only three people were left there. They were the elder and his two disciples of the Heavy Sound Sect. Uriel was in a very gloomy mood.
They even lost the bidding for the spiritual artifact. The artifact was a strange ring that had a defensive spell and could protect the holder. He was happy thinking that he could get it. But who could have thought that Timothy was already prepared and had brought a large number of spirit stones?
Not only that, they were already waiting for a while but still couldn't see the compartment where Davion stayed opening up.
One of the disciples behind his back said, "Elder, did he escape already?"
"This should not be the case. I have been keeping an eye on it for a long time, he should not be able to escape from my eyes." Uriel was very furious.
Outside the auction hall, Timothy was playing with a strange ring in his hand.
"Haha, with this artifact, our Poisonous Sect can even reach the top 10 in the Conference ranking." Timothy was full of smiles.
"Elder, but what about the pills carried by that unknown person? We should have also kept an eye over that compartment after the auction finished." The disciple said.
"We won the bid from Uriel. So, he might be really angry. I don't want to have any conflicts with him over such pills. Let's leave for now. We need to focus on the Conference.. There is no time to waste."
