Chapter 388 - Whats Plan B? (2/2)

”1600 gold coins, final offer.” The Old man said.

With both of their remaining funds put together, they felt like they had just enough to outbid Ray. Now they just needed to hope he no longer had any more money.

On the stage, Rachel had somewhat an understanding of what was going on; when she looked at the Old man, thoughts ran through her head. She started to think back about all of her friends in the cave.

'Will I never see them again.' The sobbing continued once more.

Hearing this vast sum, that was nearly enough to buy a small town. Or would be around a month's worth of income for a city. Steven fell to his knees, thinking there was no possible way for them to save Rachel now.

If he could, Steven would have tried fighting his way out of here, but it was too risky. Every time he wanted to pluck up the courage to strike, the images of the kids outside that still needed him would appear in his head.

The yellow knights in Zrey were just too strong. He himself was unable to defeat one of the captain knights, and there were four of them. Even if Jack was powerful enough to take on one while he took on the other, what could they do about the rest? They would all be slaughtered.

On the floor, Steve continued to slam his fist into the ground.

Fenny and the Old man seeing this now, knew that they were spot on. They had indeed come to save the little girl.

”Sold for 1600 gold coins!” The auctioneer said.

Steve continued to slam into the ground, and his mask had fallen from his face.

Rachel, still on stage, noticed the large man's strange actions when she looked over a familiar figure. She had spent so much time looking at this man that she recognised him instantly.

”Steve!” She called out without a second thought. ”Steve!” She shouted again, this time, with tears coming down her face. ”Please… Please… save me!” She said.

His hands were now shaking, not knowing what to do. ”I….I…Can't...Can..I?” At this moment, all he wanted was someone to guide him. Someone to show him what he should do.

Just then, a hand was seen in front of his eyes.

”Stand up.” The voice said. ”I said, stand up.” Said once again, this was said loudly and in anger. The whole room froze, hearing the sudden loud voice.

When looking up, Steve could see that it was Ray's hand. Without a second thought, he decided to take it. When the two hands connected, Ray used Mana share to give back the mana taken from him earlier. Steve suddenly felt reenergized once more.

”We are moving on to plan B,” Ray said.

”Plan B, what's Plan B?” Steven asked.

From his dimensional space, Ray bounded on all his equipment. Using the blood forging technique form Raten the small dwarf, his equipment was now bound to him and instantly put on. The downside was he could no longer sell the equipment as it could only be used with him.

Now standing in his full gear, Ray looked like a completely different person. He looked like a seasoned Adventurer who had been through many battles.

”We fight, I'm not going to let anyone leave this room.”
