THE STORY OF HEROES AND DEMONS
Auction house

After the two agreed, as well as Zen giving one important bag of gold coins, the black pearl was now in hand.

But not long after, a group of humans appeared who came to the middle-aged man's place.

"Grandfather where the black pearls are, I've brought the money you want." Ask one of the bandits

"Sorry sir, but it's sold." The answer is a little fear.

"Do you want to mess with Sanziu's bandits." The bandits threatened.

"No sir, it's not so. .."

Inadvertently Zen heard he was very angry because he knew the thing that the bandit leader Sanziu wanted was in the hands of someone else.

"We prepared one thousand and five hundred gold coins as you requested. But you ...." Complicated his face was upset.

"It's true, sir, but I need money in the near future, it's certainly impossible for me to refuse an offer from the master." The seller was getting scared.

No one realized that Zen's existence was only ten steps away from their place.

Merely, on the other hand Zen was surprised, because the offer from the grandfather to him was Two thousand gold coins, whereas he opened the price for the bandits to only one thousand and five hundred.

Feeling annoyed at having been played, until Zen intends to go back to the black pearl seller's parents and file a complaint.

Just a few steps away, he heard the words of the bandits... "Who are you selling it to ?."

For a moment Zen fell silent, he was clearly in trouble because the intentions of the bandits were like wanting to take the black pearl by force.

"That's it, I sold it to the master." Reveal the old man by pointing towards Zen.

In order to save himself, the merchant did not hesitate to direct the bandits to talk to him.

"That's lucky, we don't have to bother looking for you." Said one of the ten Sanziu bandits.

Zen felt he had to be vigilant..."What do you want ?."

"Let's just calm, sir, we just want to file you a business." Reveal it.

"What about black pearls ?." Zen understood their purpose.

"I'm glad you're quick to respond and don't have to explain anymore."

"But I'm sorry, I don't intend to resell it." Answer Zen.

An object that is rare and can only be realized after thousands of years, it is certainly impossible for Zen to get it in the near future.

He made an offer...."A thousand gold coins, that's enough to get your money back."

"Huh?, are you stupid, I bought it for two thousand gold coins, obviously not comparable." But Zen obviously refused.

As if unhappy for Zen's reply, the man showed an annoyed expression and was intent on forcing.

"Do you know who you're dealing with now ?."

"Rentenir ?." Just the answer of Zen.

He was surprised and felt strange at Zen's words...."No, don't you know who we are ?."

"No ." Relax Zen retorted.

One bandit introduced himself..."I'm sure you're new here, all right, I'm Rolfo, the head of the Sanziu bandit, the group that controls this region. If you give it half the price, I'll make sure you get protection and no one will dare to harass you here."

"I'm sorry, I don't need you guys just to take care of myself."

The smile on Rolfo's face fell, he was even more annoyed at the rejection from Zen even though he knew that the answer was tantamount to shaming the name of the bandit Sanziu.

"Don't blame me if we force it a little." Threatening loud.

"Care what." Laugh Rolfo .

Zen was forced to follow them to a deserted place that no one else would see.

Even so, in the dark world every creature that comes to this place, as if it does not care about their affairs and prefers to look for safety without having to make trouble.

But just as they had entered into a narrow alley, Zen had already walked out casually. All those bandits had already fallen unconscious.

After Zen left, the bandits finally came to their senses and ran out to look for him.

"Si*al, find the guy, the chairman might get upset, if we don't get Dolam's black pearl."

They split up, running in all directions for the sake of finding Zen to pick up the black pearls he had.

Zen felt uneasy because he had broken one warning from Hanna, in order to avoid trouble with the three powers in the Dark World, but now the group of Sanziu bandits were looking for him.

Even so, this is a business, Zen already has it and cannot be contested anymore.

Sneaking among the crowd of creatures of various types, now Zen aims to attend the auction event.

Right in the central area.

Auction houses are indeed one of the destinations of people who want to get antiques and also rare.

The demon family of the Gouna are the owners of the auction house, they present the guests with the best service without comparing anyone from the other factions.

At the front door Zen was greeted by beautiful demonic women who delivered him to the administrative table.

"What is your purpose, sir.... Who ?." Ask the man at the administration desk.

"I'm Hanzen, I want to join the auction and also bring the items I have for auction." Zen replied disguising his identity.

"Can we see what kind of goods you want to auction ?. Because we have to ensure quality as a benchmark for selling prices."

Zen took out a huge demon beast soul stone which clearly made the administration man stunned. It was the soul stone of an SS-category demon beast within the Dungeon.

New soul snake head two, ruler of the 40th floor.

S-SSS-category demon beasts were extremely valuable because the beasts themselves had so many energy sources and could be absorbed to strengthen their strength.

"Okay sir, we'll receive your goods for auction, please come in and enjoy the show."

"Thank you."

In particular, Zen is given a mask so that his identity can be kept secret, but miraculously, the mask is also able to suppress their aura so that it cannot be felt by other creatures.

He was taken to a VIP place consisting of only a few people.

They are all special guests and may have big names in the surface world, so it is not strange if one of them is a member of the kingdom.

Take a chair next to the old man who enjoys a glass of booze for himself.

"I'm like seeing someone new." Reveal it by insinuating Zen.

"Am I not allowed to come from this room, sir ?." Answer Zen to be polite.

"Not so, but I've only seen you for the first time, so there's no need to be offended by my words." The old man laughed happily.

"Of course not, the young me still knows manners to the more senior people."

"I like the way you talk." Reply while drinking.

A bit of chatter between Zen and the old man sitting beside him, until a while later, the curtain of the auction opened and the event began.
