Vampire's Slice Of Life

"Your Highness, it's been an hour," Dennis said while sipping some hot chocolate.

Lith nodded. He looked into the distance, in the direction of the Auction House, and said, "Don't worry, they'll be here soon."

"How do you know?" Dennis asked, his curiosity piqued by the confidence exuded by Lith.

"Instincts," Lith replied with a smirk, creating an air of mystery.

"Cheh," Dennis clicked his tongue, mocking Lith, and muttered loudly, "Just say that even you don't know when they will arrive."

He then went back to sipping his hot chocolate while ignoring Lith.

Lith chuckled and shook his head. He did not quibble further. In truth, even he didn't know and was just posturing based on an assumption.

Much to his and Dennis's surprise, they could see the vague figure of Mo and his companions in the distance within a few minutes.

Lith looked at the distant figure of Mo coming along with a few people and looking at Dennis, he said with a smirk,

"See? Told you."

Dennis rolled his eyes and replied, "I think it was just a fluke."

"They're here." Before they could resume their banter, Ralph interrupted in the next instant. Lith and Dennis quietened and turned their heads toward the group approaching them.

The chief of the auction house immediately noticed the silver-haired youth standing in front of his two friends. She immediately walked towards him and guessed, " Are you Sir Ray?"

Lith looked at her from head to toe, wondering who she was. Then he nodded his head and slowly said, "that's right."

"I am really sorry for the delay, Sir Ray. The thing you needed is here, please do forgive our incompetence."

Mo and the others accompanying the chief were shocked out of their wits. They never thought that this prideful woman could be so humble. They looked at the silver-haired youth, the mysterious Sir Ray, and their beautiful Chief with wonder.

The Chief saw her people had not bowed and sent the manager and Mo's friend a look of displeasure. Coming to their senses, they quickly bowed as well because they knew if they didn't, they would be in deep trouble with the chief later.

Noticing the people being subservient, Lith felt no joy or pride. Such things were a common occurrence when in front of an absolute powerhouse.

Though Lith wasn't one, his vampire backing was powerful enough to make the people in front prostrate on the ground and not simply lower their heads.

But the people from the Auction House were bowing to him because of his Black Scelestus Card and not because of his identity as the Vampire Prince.

The other two accompanying Lith, Ralph and Dennis, also were not surprised to see the people bow in their presence. Being heirs of Emperor Rank powerhouses, numerous people also bowed their heads before them.

Lith indifferently looked at the chief and asked, "...you are?"

The chief got up and said politely, "I am Ruo Zi of the Zi family who owns the small auction house that Sire wanted the treasure from."

"I see," Lith replied neither warmly nor coldly. He had no idea who the Zi family was nor was he interested in knowing more about them.

Lith skipped the pleasantries and directly asked her the question he wanted to ask.

"Miss Ruo Zi, what do you think of us three?"

Ruo Zi was confused as she didn't understand what Lith meant. She studied Lith's expression with care and cautiously asked, "Pardon?"

Lith explained calmly again, "I just want to know, do you think we three appear as someone who cannot afford the treasures in your auction house?"

"Eh?" Ruo Zi was confused. Why did Lith ask such a question so suddenly? She had no idea what the context was and didn't know how to answer such a question.

If Lith couldn't afford something like this, then probably no one else in this world could afford them as well. After all, he was the only person in the world who had been issued a Black Card from a massive organization like the Scelestus!

From what Ruo Zi had read on the forums, the authority and wealth of the Black Card's Holder were comparable to the power of the head of an entire race!

Of course, the main eight races were not to be considered for this assumption. Even so, the power and wealth of the Black Card Holder were comparable to the Top echelon of the main races.

'Such a person was asking whether he could afford the goods in my tiny Auction House? Could I have inadvertently offended Sir Ray?'

Ruo Zi was calm on the outside but she was panicking in her heart as these thoughts rampaged in her mind. She could think of many reasons why Sir Ray may be angry with her. Of the many, the one that stood out was her tardiness in completing his request.

Lith had no idea what was going on inside Ruo Zi's head but seeing a little panic in her eyes, he was slightly confused.

'Did she not understand such a simple question? Did I make it too complicated? Or did she misunderstand something?' Lith thought as he watched the Chief of Auction House squirm under his gaze without uttering a word.

Ralph, sitting beside Lith, decided to clear up the confusion.

He first explained to Ruo Zi the situation with Mo. How the beastkin first invited them and how the negotiations were stalled at the moment because of their greed, leading to the current situation.

The Chief breathed a sigh of relief after understanding that she was not the one in the wrong. But, unfortunately, her relief was short-lived.

Ruo Zi intently listened to the chain of events and grew shocked. The more she heard, the more her hands trembled in fear. She grew nervous knowing what the beastkin had just done and the consequences of their actions.

'THESE IDIOTS! WHAT HAVE THEY DONE!?'

After she finished listening, Ruo Zi could only shout in her heart as she glowered at Mo and his companions.

These beastkin had no idea who they had just provoked!
