God's Eyes

After she received the Frozen Lunarium from the manager, Jennifer took Jason to the VVIP lounge of the auction house.

Only then did she give Jason the Frozen Lunarium and spoke in a conspiratorial tone.

"Because of this purchase, I probably offended the two families I mentioned earlier. So...you owe me a favor now!"

Even though she wanted to sound serious, in the end, she could only smile, expressing her joy about what had happened.

This caused Jason to frown at her, only to notice that a few more people were entering the VVIP lounge.

The VVIP lounge they were inside, was in fact, a huge hall that was separated from the rest of the auction house.

In front of Jason was a huge transparent glass wall on the first floor through which he could see everything. It gave him the chance to look at the hundreds of people who were already seated in the lengthy rows of seats on the ground floor.

Meanwhile, in the center was a simple stage, which was empty as of now.

Behind Jason, there was a bar the newcomers immediately rushed to as he heard them gossip.

"Do you think the City lord wanted to offend the Jul and Ori family? After everything they had done to provoke her, it should only be obvious that she delivers a befitting retort.

Still, I didn't expect her disciple to nonchalantly instant-purchase the item they need….it's not like they're too poor to do the same but the Jul and Ori family made an agreement to bet for the Frozen Lunarium to play it fair!"

This caused Jason to turn around, where he looked at two Aeus who were having their fun with the situation he seemed to have created.

"Either way, it was about time for the Jul and Ori family to get to know what happens if they continue provoking the City lord. I always thought that she was taking them too lightly, ignoring them which gave them the necessary time to strengthen their connections to the outside world!"

While the two Aeus were continuing to talk, Jason could only turn around, to look at Jennifer with doubtful eyes.

'Was it really okay for her to purchase the Frozen Lunarium?'

However, just as he thought that Jason imagined how it would have been if he'd purchased the Frozen Lunarium instead of Jennifer.

A simple visualization was enough to make him understand that he would have probably been killed and deprived of the Frozen Lunarium because he would be considered a nobody who had dared to offend not one but two influential families.

"Don't worry too much. My master ordered me to provoke and offend a few families that wanted to purchase certain items from the beginning.

Initially, I wanted to purchase the Frozen Lunarium later, even if it would have increased the price by a few times.

You know, some families still don't understand what they should do in the face of a powerhouse at the Specta stage, and some are not as oblivious and know their place.

Master finally decided to make it clear that she is not to be taken lightly, and that others should be put in their place every once in a while so that they pay attention to how they behave!"

Jason didn't expect that Luna would do something like this because he knew that the City Lord had been silent for decades, ignoring every single provocation that had happened until then.

It was exactly because of this information which he had procured while reading books in the auxiliary tower's library in addition to eavesdropping on others' conversation that Jason was so confused right now.

This made him ask Jennifer straightforwardly.

"Is there a reason for the City lord to react all of a sudden? I thought all of you have more than enough to do with the 'special' training in the barren lands…"

Jason didn't mention the cadets or the Tritans organisation.

Instead, he talked around it, though Jennifer still understood it. She pondered for a moment before answering,

"To put it simply, the reason is that the Devir and Aeus race have begun to cross their limits and master's patience is wearing off.

They've started to force Manyrs to choose one of the two sides, and if someone wants to stay neutral, they're treated harshly by both sides.

That's not all, and it wouldn't be enough to make my master act, but the families and clans of the three races seem to provoke Master more and more.

From the way I see it, the situation is not grave yet, but everyone is trying to find out what they're allowed to do in Lanro, and what is too much.

However, because the Master doesn't want to give them the chance to find out either, she wants to use the bi-annual event of the auction house to give everyone a warning!"

Initially, Jason had felt bad for giving Jennifer and the City lord a hard time, only because he needed the Frozen Lunarium, but that had changed now.

He was of the opinion that Luna's warning was still relatively light in comparison to what she wanted to show, but that was probably fine.

'Giving a light warning before the heavy punishment, huh?' Jason wondered before Jennifer took out a small book which she handed him.

"Take a look inside this book. The items that were auctioned off today are listed down. Everything we want to purchase as well as the things we want to bait the other families with is marked down in addition to extra information.

A few of our people also wrote down the normal price for all items, in addition to the assumed price at the auction house."

This interested Jason a lot, which made him open the thin book.

It didn't take him long before he was fully immersed in the heavy information that was written down in the book, and time flew by.

He didn't even realise that two hours had already passed as his immersion was only increasing with time.

The auction was just starting with an 'appetizer serving' according to Jason, where he wanted to sell off his less unique manuals at the Terra Advanced rank.

This was ought to make a small fortune that should end up with an equal sum than he had already accumulated during the last few months.

As such, it was a great deal he made there.

Every single seat was occupied in the non-VIP area, and the first few items, which were, in fact, Jason's manuals, were quickly auctioned off.

Jason, who had been deep in thoughts, only regained his senses when he heard a small commotion in the rows of people in front of him.

He had been standing at the glass wall that was tinted on the outside, preventing others from seeing Jason on the other side.

Thus, he immediately heard when people began to talk about the seven manuals that were displayed at the same time, only for the beautiful auctioneer to describe each technique in a detailed manner, highlighting their advantages, what they could do, and their requirements.

In the end, Jason knew that the techniques he sold were not overly powerful, but they were different, which made them unique to some extent.

Because of that, he wanted to know how many cultivation stones he would receive in exchange for them.

They were sold one at a time, but given the fact that all of them were put up for auction at the same time, Jason assumed that the manager was trying to pull everyone interested in a specific field of manual to the one they needed.

Thus, the first technique that was auctioned off had become the least attractive, which seemed to be the auction house manager's plan.

Even if Jason was not sure what the manager was pulling off, it looked like he was good at his job because the final result after all seven manuals had been sold was shocking.

"He really knows what he is doing. That's definitely a good profit margin!" Jennifer mumbled, which caused Jason to suddenly cough up as he realised how much he had earned in a matter of a few minutes.

'I'm not dreaming, right?"
