CHAPTER 56

Emilio is carrying out an errand Gabby gave him through the Head Witch of Suits to come to the black market for an auction.

The black market auctioned many taboo items for the general public. Sometimes, the black market also sells enslaved people and monsters that they get from their prey from various countries or continents.

Emilio receives a message from Gabby that there will be an Ogre Monster auction. He didn't know what Gabby was planning, so he had to be a participant in the auction that would buy the Ogre.

It had been four days since Emilio toured the Azruth Empire, searching for information about black market auctions.

Luck was on his side as he obtained information from a group of mercenaries he met in a village.

Emilio, who had obtained the auction site located in a city not far from the Azruth Empire's capital, registered himself as a bidder.

"May I know your purpose here, sir?" asked a local auctioneer.

"I want to buy something at the auction," said Emilio flatly.

The male caretaker, wearing a mask, handed him a piece of paper. "Please fill out the form, sir."

Emilio took the form and fill it out. He frowned when he saw there was a column for tips to administrators.

'You blackmailer,' thought Emilio annoyed, looking at the paper.

Emilio filled out the form and gave 1000 gold pieces for Guy's tip. The man received the paper form and a huge tip from Emilio.

The man held the paper and the tips with trembling hands. "Master Emi, you really give this many tips?"

"Take it, count you serving me kindly." said Emilio.

The masked man rejoiced in his heart. "Thank you, sir." He gives a Gold mask to Emilio, indicating that Emilio is a significant person.

Emilio took the gold mask and put it on, and he entered the auction room under the administrator's guidance, who Emilio had given great tips.

The masked man escorted Emilio to the VIP seats used by nobles and wealthy merchants.

Emilio's arrival caught the attention of all the bidders, as Emilio was the newbie among them all.

"Please sir."

Emilio took a seat in the chair the auctioneer had provided.

Emilio scanned the entire room, and the bidders, many girls from nobles, looked like they wanted to buy items at the auction.

Emilio felt uncomfortable when the Girls watched him. Emilio's aura was so elegant that it attracted several noble girls to him.

The first auction started with a human fighting enslaved person, and the auctioneer narrated that the fighting enslaved person was a Tier 4 Knight, which was sold for 500 gold pieces.

Some people started to increase the price of the fighting enslaved person until it reached 2000 gold pieces and fell into the hands of a rich merchant who was looking old.

The next auction is carried out by selling a human enslaved person who is now a former noblewoman who has fallen into a bed warmer enslaved person.

Emilio was utterly disgusted by this ongoing auction.

The auction was still going on until the sale of Divine Grade weapons. Emilio is still not interested in the given auction, and he intends to buy goods from auctions other than Ogre for his purposes.

Finally, the auction came to the sale of the Ogre monster. The price of the Ogre was opened for 3000 gold pieces at the beginning with a multiple of 500 gold pieces.

Although a monster is not in demand by people, those who study the Dark Arts to become Sorcerers will take all monsters of any kind for their rituals.

"5000," said the old woman dressed in all black.

The people in the auction looked at the Woman in horror, and they knew that the Woman must be a Sorcerers. Otherwise, why would the old lady buy an Ogre?

"7500." said Emilio calmly.

Now the people in the auction stared at Emilio in astonishment.

Emilio, who looks like a high Noble, makes people's attention wander. Why would a Noble buy an Ogre? How could he tame it?

Only a Tier 7 Best Tamer or Tier 3 Sorcerers could tame an Ogre-class monster.

"8000 gold pieces." said the Old Woman looking annoyed.

Emilio frowned as he saw the old lady looking annoyed at him. Emilio shrugged nonchalantly.

"10,000"

Everyone stared in awe at Emilio, and it was different with the older woman.

The older woman clenched her fists, glaring at Emilio. She didn't have that much gold, and the woman grudgingly relented Emilio.

"Master, please come forward to bring this Ogre." said the auctioneer, somewhat frightened.

Emilio walked to the auction stage and stopped right in front of the Ogre, looking violently thrashing around in chains.

Everyone was a little scared to see Emilio standing in front of the Ogre and staring at him. They were afraid that Emilio would make the mistake of letting the Ogre loose.

The ogre might be able to destroy the Auction even though there were already several escorts at the auction.

The older woman who had lost in the auction smirked mockingly, and she wasn't sure that Emilio would be able to subdue the Ogre.

Emilio waved his hand, releasing an Aura capable of cutting the chains that bound the Ogre.

The ogre released from the chains didn't waste the opportunity. The ogre raged about to hit Emilio.

Before the Ogre's fist hit Emilio, the Ogre fell unconscious in front of Emilio.

Emilio opened a huge Portal for the Ogre to enter. The portal quickly devoured the unconscious Ogre.

The onlookers couldn't help but feel the horror of the Aura that Emilio gave off.

"Could you take me to the checkout?" said Emilio turning to one of the auctioneers.

"W-well y-master… Please follow me." said one of the administrators shakily, looking at Emilio's still calm.

After Emilio's death, the atmosphere seemed to be quiet for a moment after they were able to relieve their shock because of the Aura that Emilio gave off.

"Dragon Lord, it turns out that you are still alive." muttered the old woman watching Emilio until Emilio left the auction room.

Emilio, who had completed the payment for the Ogre purchase, was relieved. At least he could still tour the Empire for two more days before meeting Gabby.

He planned to have dinner because it was getting dark. He looked for a restaurant before returning to his inn.

He stopped at a fancy restaurant. When he stepped into the restaurant, he was wide-eyed to see a pair of people he knew.

"Why is that bastard still alive?"

"Miss Mia?" muttered Emilio wondering about their relationship.

Emilio felt very worried seeing Mia, who looked so sad, and what he was most worried about was what if his Queen found out about this.
