Chapter 380 - Hearing my name (2/2)

”Now that's quite the problematic place,” Ray said. The Redwing symbol was a dead giveaway to who was part of the group or not. Opening up his dimensional space, Ray pulled out something that he hadn't used for a long time. It was his black sash. He didn't know why but he had chosen to keep it this whole time, even though he was no longer a student at Avrion.

He wrapped the sash around Katy's neck personally, like a scarf, covering the marking.

”Thank you,” Katy replied.

”You are in charge of this group, when I need your help you will know,” Ray said as he walked off.

She lifted her hand and pressed on the mark on her neck. Although she knew Ray was only caring for her, she was really very pleased about the marking being in an obvious place. After everything Ray had done for her, she was happy to show the whole world she was part of the Redwings.

While no one was looking, she also quickly lifted the sash and took in a big sniff. ”A personal item from my king.”

Bob looked at the slaves and looked back at Ray before following him.

Bob himself was confused about what he had just heard. He too had no clue who Ray truly was, to find out that he was working with a known criminal was frightening.

'No wonder he had so much confidence before. But if he's a King right, where are all his guards? Was Jack Dem one of them, is the city working with the Redwings?' there were too many questions and not enough answers, and right now he was too deep. If the town wasn't working with him, or the empire had found out how much he had already helped, he would be punished severely for everything that had happened.

The plan was for the two of them to head to the auction house, Ray wanted to have a look at just what the Vip section was selling, hoping that he might be able to grab a good weapon for Jack, as well as maybe something for himself. After this, there was no longer a reason for him to stay with Ray, and he hoped whatever business Jack had with his family, was over and done with by now.

There was another problem though, Ray was low on funds. He had spent too much money trying to show off his wealth so he could enter into the VIP area, and after giving most of his gold coins away to the slaves he didn't have much for himself to spend at the auction.

Still, there was one option. Ray could always sell the carriage. When asking Slyvia whether it was okay or not, she surprisingly said yes, as long as they knew it was the technology that had come from the Redwings. Most likely this was a part of a grand plan of hers that Ray really knew nothing about. If he really saw something he liked and needed the funds, this would be his last resort.

While on the way to the auction house, A ding sound was heard, notifying a message from the system had arrived. It was from Jack.
