Chapter 221: Arrival

221- Arrival

A few minutes ago, before the auction started:

On the third floor of the auction building, an auction guard was sweating profusely as he explained few things to a young man sitting in the chair.

After the young man listened to the man, he laughed disdainfully and sent away the guard.

After the guard was gone, the young man sneered and said,

Heh, still trying to look tough? Let's see what makes you so arrogant.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door and an old man entered the room.

As soon as the old man entered the room, he bowed politely towards the young man and said,

Young master, master, and madam have arrived.

When the young man heard this, all his arrogance faded and he immediately got up and went out to receive his father.

Soon, a middle aged man entered the room followed by a beautiful woman and few guards.

The middle aged man looked quite young but his eyes showed that he was someone who had seen many things in his life.

He wore blue robes on which the word Williow was engraved.

The beautiful woman beside him wore a beautiful yellow dress which magnified her beauty by multiple times.

As soon as she entered the room, she hurriedly looked into the room, and when she caught the sight of the young man, she hurriedly hugged him and asked with great concern as she held his face,

Alex, my baby, are you alright? I heard everything from your father and I hurried here to see you. You did not get hurt anywhere, right? Tell mother if you are hurt anywhere and dont hide anything from me.

Her face was full of motherly love and care for her son.

The young man was none other than Alex Xavier.

And the two people, the middle aged man, and the beautiful woman, who just entered the room, are his parents.

When Alex Xavier heard his mothers words, he answered,

I am fine, mother. That bastard did not dare to hurt me but he insulted me in disgusting ways. I swear that I will kill that bastard and make him regret his actions.

His voice was full of anger, sorrow, and grief.

If one saw Alex Xaviers actions, one would be truly shocked.

His evil and beast like character was nowhere to be seen.

If there was someone who met Alex Xavier for the first time, then they would truly think that Alex Xavier was a good boy, who is a filial son with many good and applaudable characteristics.

And he was wrongly beaten by some evil bandit.

But only those who know about his character and nature can easily determine that Alex Xavier is acting and showing his pitiful side to his parents in the hope that he can convince his parents to help him get his revenge.

And truly, other than his mother almost everyone understood that Alex Xavier was acting pitiful.

Yes, even his father is aware of his sons nature and his deeds. But as a parent how can he blame his child? Instead, he would protect him and his shortcomings.

And the same goes for his mother. Just like every mother, to her, Alex Xavier was her everything and, in her eyes, her son is the best child in this world. So, she is most protective of her son and is one who protects his short comings.

Alex Xaviers anger was true but all other emotions that he showed to his mother were fake. And the reason he is acting such pitifully is that, he is well aware of the fact that only his mother can convince his father to help him get revenge.

And just like he hoped, when his mother heard her sons words and looking at his pitiful loo, her heart started to burn with fury but she managed to console her lovely son softly,

Dont worry son, your mother will get justice for you.

Then she immediately glared at her husband,

Husband, I want the bastard who dared to harm and insult my baby son, to face his maker.

Did you hear me?

She practically screamed at the end.

Listening to his wifes tone, the middle aged guy frowned but he answered helplessly,

Dont worry Eliza, I will take care of this matter after the auction ends.

He knew about his wifes temper, so he did not dare to disagree with her. And he knew that if he didnt agree then she would make things difficult for him.

Then he started asking few things about what exactly happened.

Finally, the auction started and the first item- Body Strengthening Pills, were being auctioned.

Alex wanted to bid for the pills, but his father prevented him from bidding.

Alex Xaviers father is an Elder in the Willow Sword Sect and is a knowledgeable person. So, he told his son- Alex Xavier, about how one person can only take 3 pills and it is most effective to take when a person has the cultivation of Demi-Human stage.

Listening to his fathers words, he quietened down. But when he heard his mothers words, he immediately turned happy,

Son, dont worry about these low quality and medium quality Body Strengthening Pills. After you reach the Demi-Human stage, I will take you to see a Pill Guru, who is a close friend of your grandpa. I heard he can concoct High quality Body strengthening Pills.

Hearing this, Alex Xavier eagerly asked,

Is that true mom?

Seeing her sons expression, Eliza- Alex Xaviers mother, replied with a smile,

Of course, it is true. And I have also asked your grandpa to ask his Pill Guru friend to concoct pills that are helpful for your cultivation.

Hearing this, Alex Xavier got excited.

Seeing her sons expression, Eliza was extremely satisfied.

Just as Alex Xaviers family was having a small family talk, the medium quality Body strengthening pills were being auctioned.

Liza Dohms voice rang,

Now, the starting price of the bottle of medium quality Body Strengthening pills is 750 gold coins. And each increase in bid must be higher than 50 gold coins.

As soon as her voice fell, the crazy bids took off.

Looking at these fools bidding such a great amount, Alex Xavier looked at these people with disdain as he remembered his mothers words.

Poor bastards, I have connections, so I can get High quality pills, and you poor guys can fight amongst yourselves for these garbage quality pills.

Just as he was gloating over his luck, a loud voice rang in the auction hall,

1500 gold coins.

As soon as Alex Xavier heard this voice, his body jerked as he was very familiar with this voice.

And when he tried to confirm if heard correctly, he looked in the direction from which the sound came and he understood that he did not mishear.

A cool light flashed in his eyes as he whispered,

How foolish of me, that I forgot that you were here too. I was just getting bored and now let me have some fun with you.

So, he also bid,

1700 gold coins.

Seeing his son bid, Alex Xaviers father asked,

What are you doing?

Hearing his fathers question, Alex Xavier answered,

Father, just now the person who bid 1500 gold coins, was the same person who insulted me. I wanted to have some fun with him and let him pay extra money for the items and make him lose his money.

Listening to Alexs answer, his father frowned and said,

Dont play such childish tricks. Today we are here to take care of sect business and I dont want to waste any of the funds in your childish acts.

But Alexs mother immediately rebuked,

What childish acts? Since its the bastard who dared to insult our son, we should teach him some lesson.

Then she looked at her son lovingly and said,

Son, dont worry, if anything happens, your mom will pay for these. I have also amassed lots of savings.

Thank your mom.

Alex Xavier happily thanked his mother.
