Chapter 421: Start of Auction

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma TranslationsAchilles was so angry that his eyelids kept on twitching. He said, “Alright, then we’ll meet each other during the evening in three days time.”

Seeing Achilles leave with a crestfallen expression, Tynon felt immensely satisfied.

Meanwhile, Fang Xingjian had watched the entire scene from the entrance. Beside him, his female disciple, Lilia, said, “Master, that Achilles seems to have sent a gift.”

After Fang Xingjian had completed 1% of the Martial Techniques Grading Plan, the archbishop announced that he would discuss with the Church’s upper echelon regarding the second round of collaboration with Fang Xingjian.

They might give Fang Xingjian even more sword techniques to appraise.

No one knew how much Fang Xingjian had earned for the first round, nor how much funds were involved in the next round. These were after all, top secret.

However, it did not take much of a guess for one to know that there would only be more and more money. Therefore, more and more people came to get into his good books.

Just how much money was involved with the Martial Techniques Grading Plan? Moreover, for Fang Xingjian to be snatching this project and even Hildebrand failing in his attempt, no one else would dared to vie for a chance.

However, if they were to get into Fang Xingjian’s good books and he were to put aside some loose change for them, it would still be a tremendous sum of money.

Fang Xingjian nodded. “Achilles isn’t his match. That Tynon seems interesting.” Then he smiled and went inside.

“Send someone to ask if he’s willing to come over for a chat.”

…

“Fang Xingjian is inviting me over?” Hearing that, Tynon’s eyes narrowed as he thought, ‘This guy has seen how amazing my Gates of the Netherworld is and wishes to get into my good books? Or is he trying to find out the secrets to the Gates of the Netherworld?’

Regardless, Tynon did not plan on obliging to Fang Xingjian’s request. He said, “Tell him that I have some things to attend to today, and that we should meet up another time.”

With that, the attendant left. Not long later, Hildebrand walked into the private room and said, “Tynon, it’s been a year since we’ve last met. To think that your martial arts have improved to such a great extent.”

Tynon stood up and looked at Hildebrand. “Hildebrand, why have you come to my private room?” He then turned to look toward the front facing windows of the private room. Tynon could see the preparation work being done on the stage and the countless ordinary guests starting to enter the venue.

The other private rooms in the area were all for the influential characters of the Great Western City. Aside from the organizers, no one knew who were in the rooms.

The private room had an area of over 100 square meters, and the walls and the ceiling were layered with many panels of metal.

With such a large distance apart in addition to the many layers of metals, even Conferred Knights would find it very hard to use their Heaven’s Perception to sense who were in each private rooms. This provided the guests in the private rooms the highest degree of privacy.

Hildebrand smiled and sat next to Tynon. “We haven’t met for so long. Are you being so unwelcoming to me?”

Tynon found this funny. One year ago, even though he was ranked fifth, when had Hildebrand ever taken a good look at him?

However, right now, after he had injured Achilles seriously with a single move, Hildebrand was now being so friendly with him. This was the charm of power.

“Young Master Hildebrand, how could I possibly not welcome you?” Tynon said with a shrug.

Hildebrand looked curiously at Tynon and said, “Your improvement over the past one year is exceptional. Did you came across a fortuitous encounter?”
