Chapter 114 - 115: Plunderers
It’s already noon. After school ended, Cail waved goodbye to his friends and walked out of the school. No, he is not going home yet. He’ll first meet with that strange buyer who texted him.
He found a secluded spot to wear a helmet and change his clothes. After making sure that he was unidentifiable, Cail nodded and drove off on his motorcycle (inside the space).
The time of their meeting was still far. But just like what he did with Deorc, Cail planned to prepare in advance. The wind felt fresh—it was no longer the rainy season.
While driving toward the meeting location, he noticed many people around. He managed to find a quiet spot under a CCTV camera blind spot.
After making his preparations, he walked around. He heard that there seemed to be another auction going on—it was in the deeper parts of the slum. If he wasn’t too injured after this confrontation, he’d check out what was going on there.
...
"Are you sure that man will come?" a small, skinny guy said. He sat on a chair and ordered a glass of water.
In front of him was an old man, probably in his seventies. His sleepy eyes looked at the customers coming in and out of the building. None of them looked like the target. Deorc had described the man as wearing a helmet.
Yes, they were not here for a transaction, but to plunder. They were thieves who specifically targeted artifact dealers. The artifact season was now here, yet they still hadn’t found anything worthwhile to show at the auction on the other side. They needed to find something now.
