A Chat With 'Her' ?

A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

"Come in," he said.

The same attendant who had guided him to his private room entered, holding a tray. 

Resting atop the tray was the golden-colored book—the Eternal Flowing Steps.

"Here is your item, sir."

Alden wasted no time making the payment using a dummy account.

The attendant placed the book on the table near the couch before bowing and swiftly exiting.

Alden exhaled.

'Perks of being a VIP, I guess.'

Most of people had to wait till the auction is over to get their item. And here he was receiving it instantly.

His eyes went back to the book.

This was it.

The technique that could be connected to his mother.

Or a technique that might hold secrets to the forgotten era.

If this was truly a technique connected to his mother, there was a high chance something would happen.
