As the auction ended, Severin stretched his back and went back into the room.
"Today is so awesome! We were the center of attention!" Megan giggled.
"I need to drink some before we go. After all those biddings, I'm so thirsty."
Severin quickly poured himself a glass of red wine and drank it before leaving.
"We have obtained some fourth-grade spiritual herbs from this auction which is terrific! Do you think we can come here again when they have the next auction?" Sheila asked with a smile.
Seveirn smiled bitterly and responded, "We have already wasted a lot of time coming here this time. I don't think we should come soon. If I really need those spiritual herbs, I can ask Beryl or the others to help me. They can come over to get the alchemical pills from me and help me to auction them. Once the auction is done, all they need to do is send me those spiritual stones. I don't need to come over myself."
Diane laughed and said, "I think you're the only one who dared to ask Beryl and the other War Gods to help you run errands."
"We need to do our best to hold our breath and keep a far distance away from him. Once we know where he stays, we can take action tonight," Musa told Stephanie.
Stephanie nodded. "Don't worry. I won't let him notice us!"
On the way back to the villa, Severin had been busy talking to Diane and the others. Since Stephanie and Musa had been hiding their trace, Severin did not notice they were following him back to the villa.
