"Ritch?" Ross was stunned when he saw that young man at the entrance of the auction hall. He couldn't help feeling suspicious, as that young man's identity was quite special. Ritch Holland's parents were both senior alchemists of the Black Horn chamber of commerce, and he had even studied under the famous Archmage of the Black Horn, Hulad. Although he was in his early twenties, he was still a 5th Rank High Mage. He was considered Hulad's successor.

The Merlin Family had many chances to cooperate with the Black Horn chamber of commerce. It was in one such cooperative venture that the two young geniuses got to know each other and formed a certain friendship. How could Ross not know of Ritch's identity? 'He would usually be inside presiding over the auction, so why is he at the door like a doorman?'

Seeing Ross's strange expression, Ritch immediately said, "Oh, I was just welcoming a VIP, I'm about to go over now. What? Suddenly want to participate in the auction?"
