Chapter 114: Starting
The group went to the meeting room. Along the way, branch leader Clint properly introduced the representative from the Union Core Center to Alex. The man’s name was William and he was a sub-elder at the Union Core Center in the capital.
This had stunned Alex. A Master mage was only a sub-elder? As expected of a force in the capital.
Reaching the meeting room, branch leader Clint went to the point. He first used a moment to express his gratitude for Mr Chen’s decision to help them find the missing children and his willingness to offend the Dark Union.
Branch leader Clint had been informed of the dark beasts and the kidnapper that Mr Chen had brought by Owen and the others, this news had stunned him because they had not been able to find anything about the Dark Union even after weeks.
After that, he proceeded to tell Mr Chen about the upcoming auction and requested for Mr Chen to be present. Due to the upcoming tournament, lots of people were coming into Balon City from outside and the City would soon be filled with visitors.
This was why the Union branch decided to host the auction just before the tournament to get more participants and many items would be submitted as well.
Branch leader Clint suspected that the Dark Union might try to cause trouble during the auction so he wanted Mr Chen to be there.
Alex informed him that he had already been invited as a guest appraiser by Lance, so he was going to be there.
Branch leader Clint was happy with this response and secretly praised Lance in his mind. While they conversed, William was silently observing Mr Chen with an unreadable expression.
Alex noticed this and turned to him.
"Is there a problem?" He asked.
