CHAPTER 71
The chaos inside the auction hall is still rampaging but on the outside, everything looks fine. That is because the people attacking the auction house put an illusion barrier just outside the Auction House with a rare talisman called: Barriers Of Illusion. The barrier covered the entire land where the Auction House was, thus no one was able to find any difference.
Michael continued to run through the chaos happening in the auction hall. He carried Jing Fei on his arms like a princess. He is trying to find a place for Jing Fei for her to stay safe, but so far he hasn't found one.
Jing Fei started drooling as she looked at his face and Michael is thinking too much, so he hadn't notice it yet. Her pupils in her eyes turned into a heart shape inside her pupils.
She quickly wiped away her drool for Michael not to notice.
After minutes of searching, Michael decided to just buy a protection talisman in the shop after he didn't find any safe locations for Jing Fei to stay in.
He secretly brought out his phone, just enough for Jing Fei not to notice. He quickly bought a barrier talisman that can protect Jing Fei from any attacks above the Nascent Soul Stage. It cost him 50,000 PP to buy that.
"Jing Fei, where is the direction of your father?" He asked her.
"Over there" She pointed at a broken wall at a VIP room, that seems to be flashing with light.
"Thank you" Michael quickly disappeared from his spot and appeared inside that VIP room.
But when they arrived, he saw Jing Jin without his left arm fighting against a Blond Woman.
She is a fairly young, tall, slender woman with short, middle-parted hair and a prominent nose. She wore a dark-colored skirt suit. But the strangest thing he saw is the gun she was holding. (Yes there are guns in this novel, deal with it) He thought that guns don't exist in this world but apparently he was wrong.
"Give up City Lord, you have already lost," The blond woman said calmly. She seems to be a calm and collected person. Rare for someone so young.
"Never! You spiders have been a thorn on our side for far too long! If I were able to capture you, we will be able to extract your memories to find out about the insides and outs of the spiders" Jing Jin said stubbornly.
"You have already lost your left arm, just tell me where you put that treasure or else I will kill you here," She said in a monotone voice as she raised her gun, pointing at Jing Jin's head.
Michael put Jing Fei down on the ground and activated the Protection Talisman. The talisman released a barrier covering Jing Fei. She still can move around just a little inside the barrier.
The blond woman took notice of Michael when he laid down the protection talisman. She pointed her gun at him and with a single move of a finger, it shot. A violet bullet came out of the barrel on the gun, it shot directly to the head of Michael.
But Michael calmly looks at the speeding bullet and in a tiny fraction of a millisecond, he caught it.
She didn't look surprised when he caught the bullet, but instead, she continued to rain more bullets at him.
Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang!
Michael pulled out a blade and deflected all of them easily.
Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting!
The City Lord took this opportunity and attacked her, but as he neared her she took out another gun and pointed it at Jing Jin's head. He was stopped from his tracks as he felt the cold hard steel of the barrel on his head.
"Don't think for a second that I will let my guard down" She said in a monotone voice as she clicks the rear end of her gun.
The gun was colored in a golden design, it had patterns going down from its barrel to its handle. It had a name on it and it says, Pa Ku.
"City Lord, just tell me where that treasure is and we will all go out of here happy" She calmly said.
"Hmph, like I'll give that orb to you people. That orb is too dangerous to be left in the hands of thieves like you" Jing Jin said as he smiled stubbornly.
"Then die" And with that, she pulled the trigger on her gun.
"City Lord!" Michael shouted.
Michael quickly moved away from his position to save Jing Jin, but he was too late.
Bang!
And with that bang, the City Lord, Jing Jin, died with a smile on his face.
All this time Jing Fei was watching their confrontation. Her eyes widened in despair and sorrow as she saw her father dying right in front of her. Before her sorrow turned to anger and she banged on the wall of the talisman.
"Papa! Papa!!" She yelled as the tears of sadness came out of her small little eyes. She blamed herself for being too weak, too small, too little, too...useless.
She cried and cried but she knew her tears won't bring back her father to the living but she still continued to cry, because that is the only thing she could do right now.
Michael looked at where Jing Fei is and blamed himself for being too slow.
Michael shook his head and said "No, the only one who is to blame is her, that woman" He glared at the blond woman.
"Are you sad? Do you blame yourself for the death of that girl's father?" She asked stoically.
"If you were only a bit faster, then you would've been able to stop me from killing the City Lord" She smirked as she told him.
Michael turned the anger he is feeling right now into a chuckle.
"Do you think you can defeat me with those words? Remember and engrave this to your mind! I am Michael Wilson! The devil sin of pride!" He shouted as his skin began to change into pure white, his hair became darker than before, his pupils rotated and turned into an abyss like eyes, and a shadow began crawling up his face before it reaches his forehead and it turned into a wing tattoo.
The oppressive force of his devil form shrouded the whole auction hall and made all the people inside it felt their entire body turning heavy.
She suddenly felt like falling down from the endless depths of the abyss. Her eyes constricted as she felt her entire body turning weak.
Michael looked down on her with his abyss like-eyes. His oppressive Qi baring down on her whole body.
He walks towards her before he grabbed her head and asked coldly "Where are your other team members? And what is your goal for barging into this auction?"
"Kill me, I won't tell you anything," She said calmly.
Michael suddenly smirked and said "Ho, you seem like a very loyal member of your group but what if I turned your loyalty backwards" His smirk turned into a more wicked smile as he took out a black paper from his storage ring.
Her pupils dilated when she saw that black piece of paper because she knew that is a slave seal.
"You will be my slave for all eternity, hahahahaha" He laughed maniacally as he put the slave seal on her forehead.
"Wait n-" She tried to stop him but it was too late.
The conditions he set up in the slave seal are: Always Listen To What I Say, Give Me Every Information About The Other Members Of Your Gang, and lastly Never tell your group about me.
"Now, she can no longer defy me," Michael said coldly.
"Kneel Down" He ordered as he looks down on the woman.
"Yes master' She obeyed and kneeled down on both of her legs.
Michael smiled wickedly as he thought about the things he could do with her.
" Now, tell me why did you attack the auction house?" He interrogated her.
"We were ordered by our boss to raid this auction house and steal all of their auctioned items, and mainly the Phantom Orb" She replied while gritting her teeth.
"What were your plans?"
"We were supposed to quietly assassinate the people in the VIP rooms so that we will be able to move around freely and kill all the other rest, our plan B was to just barge in and cause rampage in the auction hall"
