155 Emperor Polemos's Invitation

Inside the main Seymour family's residence, Eleanor and Anya arrived at the living room, where nearly every family member was present. 

Old Seymour sat in the middle of the couch with Klein Seymour and his wife, Jun Seymour, standing on the left while William Seymour's wife, Martha, and his two sons, Darien and Antoine, standing on the right—were all present. 

The only exception was William Seymour himself. 

"Mom, Dad, Grandpa, Second Aunt, you're all here!" Eleanor greeted everyone and nodded to Darien and Antoine before looking back at her father. "Why did you call me back, dad?"

"And what did you mean that we won't be participating in the Eastern Allure's auction anymore? I heard that there will be some extremely rare items brought over from the other continents." 

"Huh? We aren't going to the auction? Why?" Anya Seymour queried with surprise, having just heard about it for the first time.
