Chapter 125 Don’t Worry, The Jar Won’t Bite After leaving the VIP Room, Zion went to the treasury where the Auctioned Items were being kept. "Boy, this place is off-limits," one of the Guards guarding the door said. "Only those who won the bid may come here." "What a coincidence," Thirteen replied with a faint smile on his face. "I just happen to be the winning bidder for the Chad Skunk. I'm here to collect my Slave. The other items to be auctioned don't interest me, so I'm calling it quits." The two guards guarding the door exchanged a glance with each other before one of them went inside to look for someone who could confirm if the boy in front of them was indeed the one who won the bidding for the Chad Skunk. A few minutes later, Dorra, the Host of the Auction, came out of the treasury and looked at Thirteen with surprise. "Are you here for the Chad Skunk?" Dorra asked. Just like everyone, she sympathized with the young boy after he was bullied by the masked man earlier. "Yes, Miss Dorra," Thirteen replied. "That scary man will probably mess with me again, so I don't think I'll be participating in the next items to be auctioned." "…I see," Dorra sighed before nodding her head in understanding. "Okay, you can get your Monster. Come with me." After confirming that the boy was indeed a winner in the auction, the guards no longer barred his way and allowed him to enter the Treasury. Thirteen scanned the surroundings before his gaze landed on a transparent jar in the middle of the treasury. 'Found you,' Thirteen thought as he narrowed his gaze. A moment later, he tugged on Dorra's clothes, making the latter look at him. "Miss Dorra, what is that flower over there?" Thirteen asked as he pointed at the Five Leaf Clover, which was submerged in some kind of clear liquid, making it glow faintly. "That?" Dorra smiled when she saw where the boy was pointing at. "That is the last thing that will be auctioned today. It's a Five Leaf Clover. "Although it is not as powerful as an elixir that can save a person's life as long as they still have a breath, it is very precious nevertheless. It can cure a serious injury and even regrow that person's arm if it is cut down. Isn't it amazing?" "Wow!" Thirteen looked at the Five Leaf Clover with wonder, making the smile on Dorra's smile widen. 'How innocent,' Dorra thought before a thought appeared inside her head. "Do you want to take a closer look? This might be your last time to see it in your life." "Can I?" Thirteen asked with a hint of anxiety on his face. "Isn't this something to be auctioned?" "It is, but you're not going to steal it, are you?" Dorra replied. "You're just going to take a closer look, right?" "Yes! I am not going to steal it!" Thirteen replied in a heartbeat. 'At least not yet.' He would be stupid to steal the Five Leaf Clover inside the Auction House. If he really did that, then he would probably not be able to leave the Auction House alive. When they were only a meter away from the jar, Dorra waved her hand, and the space in front of them shimmered. A moment later the pretty lady took the Jar off the pedestal and showed it to the boy. "Take a good look at this, Zion," Dorra said. She remembered his name because the boy had introduced himself to Netero when he tried to give the old man the Chad Skunk as a gift. The scene had left a lasting impression on Dorra, who was very good at remembering things about people. The boy then used his finger to gingerly touch the jar, making the pretty lady giggle. "Don't worry, the jar won't bite," Dorra stated. Emboldened by her encouragement, Zion then held the jar and took a good look at the Five Leaf Clover inside of it. His hand caressed the surface of the jar, making Dorra think that the boy was truly mesmerized by what he was seeing. Little did she know that the boy was writing a runic symbol on the jar's surface with his finger. On the way to the treasury, Thirteen had written a symbol on his finger and activated a Jinn Core in his possession to empower the Rune Magic. The spell was a very simple one, but it was impossible to trace. It was Tracking Rune Magic. No matter where the jar was, Thirteen would have a general idea of where it was. The only downside was that this tracking magic only lasted for 24 hours. But as long as the Jar didn't leave Gronar City, Thirteen would be able to know its exact location. "Thank you, Big Sister," Thirteen said. "You're the best!" Dorra smirked before placing the jar back on the pedestal and once again activated the invisible barrier that protected it. She then guided Thirteen to where the Chad Skunk was and proceeded with the ceremony to transfer the ownership of the Chad Skunk to the boy. "From now on, I will call you Giga Chad," Thirteen said as he petted the head of the two-meter-tall Chad Skunk that was tall enough to be a mount. The Chad Skunk gave its Master the "you have good taste in names, bruh" before nudging the boy's head with its own. Seeing this exchange, Dorra's heart melted. However, she knew that she still had an auction to host, so she asked Zion to leave so that they could finish up their preparation for the final set of items to be auctioned. Thirteen thanked her once more before leaving the treasury like a good boy. He then made his way towards the stairs to return to Norris' VIP Room. Although the Skunk was big, the hallways and the stairs of the Auction House were spacious enough for it to pass through. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚 Clearly, the place had been built with the intention of selling large monsters in the Auction, allowing the staff to take them to the stage without too many problems. When Thirteen entered the room, Cristopher, Norris, and Adira were shocked to see that the boy hadn't come back alone and had even brought the Chad Skunk with him. "You said that you are just taking a stroll," Norris said. "I did," Thirteen replied. "I took a stroll and picked up Giga Chad along the way." "G-Giga Chad?!" Cristopher looked at the Chad Skunk, who was also looking back at him as if telling him "Sup Bro!" "Yes," Thirteen nodded. "What do you think of his name?" "It's so cool, Young Master!" Cristopher replied. Thirteen smirked because his subordinate got it. Unfortunately, Norris and Adira weren't too enthusiastic about Zion's naming sense. However, since the Chad Skunk wasn't theirs, they decided to not say anything and quietly waited for the auction to start. A few minutes later, Dorra returned to the stage and greeted everyone. "Thank you for the wait!" Dorra stated. "The last batch of the items to be auctioned will now begin!" Cheers resounded inside the Auction House. At the same time, the masked man and Thirteen's gaze met each other. Arthas had a smirk behind his mask as he looked at the young man, who was looking at him with a calm expression on his face. Netero, who was paying attention to the two of them, sighed in his heart. He knew what Arthas planned to do, and he already felt pity for the boy in front of them. However, after seeing the calmness and even a hint of ridicule in Zion's eyes, Netero felt that something had changed in the boy's aura after the short break was over. 'Am I just overthinking things?' Netero thought before shaking his head. He only wanted the auction to be over already so he could go home and rest. Soon, Dorra's voice spread inside the Auction House, marking the start of the final bidding war in the Auction House of Gronar City.
