Chapter 364 - The Anti-Royal Alliance. (1/2)

After Felix's body got reconstructed outside of the gate, he massaged his temples with an irked expression, 'I can't stay hidden from that brat lest she tells her father and he ends up joining me.'

Felix knew that ditching Princess Bird for a couple of hours wouldn't cause any issues since the Chief wasn't going to kick him from the event because of it.

However, if he kept pushing his luck like this, it would appear too disrespectful to the Chief who was the sole reason he could attend this auction.

Who knows, he could end up getting kicked out by the Chief if he felt displeased by him.

Felix didn't want to get kicked out on the first day of the event as he knew that after each day, the quality and rarity of items would keep increasing.

At the end of the event, there would be one final Co-Hosted Auction that could be accessed only by guests who spent at least 5 billion in the event.

Felix didn't want to miss it even though he had no idea what items would be auctioned in it.

Hence, he switched back to his previous disguise and showed his Landlord's name above his head.

Then, he walked in direction of a restaurant, wanting to grab a bite since the next auction on his list wouldn't start until two hours.

Well, it had already started and finished selling their first batch of items. Felix was planning to attend the 2nd batch in the day.

This was how every auction was operating in this event to give the guest a chance to visit as many auctions as possible while also not missing out on too many items due to time constraints.

...

In a few minutes...

Felix had reached the entrance of an ancient-looking building that was only two-story high. Felix waited for a couple of seconds for his turn in the queue before going inside.

Just like always, space inside was enlarged immensely, making it possible for thousands of people to eat on tables.

While he could see that the restaurant was packed and bustling, he realized that the noise never went beyond a certain limit.

This made the scene seem lively but at the same time tolerable to sit in and enjoy one's food.

'Queen, please teleport me to an empty tab...For real?'

Felix's request was cut short after his eyes landed on The Chief staring at him speechlessly with Princess Bird pouting by his side.

There were a woman and three men sitting with him at the same table, which was placed near the entrance, making it pretty visible to anyone who entered.

'I will be damned.' Felix's eyelids twitched as he swiftly turned his head left, acting like he didn't see them.

Alas, the moment Princess Bird saw him, it was nigh impossible for him to escape sitting with them.

”There he is!” Princess Bird pointed her finger at Felix and grumbled to her father, ”He ditched me at the Belverian Auction House. I even searched hours for hi...”

Before she finished on her rant, she hastily covered her mouth shut with her hands, appearing like she said something she shouldn't have.

The Chief displeased expression as he eyed her made pretty obvious that he didn't like what she just mentioned.

'Didn't you tell me an hour ago that you felt bored and left him in the auction?' The Chief questioned her telepathically with a deep frown, 'Daring to lie to me now?'

'I didn't want you to scold me.' She sent a message with a wronged expression, 'Plus, it's that bastard's fault. We did him honor by inviting him and he took it for granted.'

'Shift the blame all you want.' The Chief gave her a strict gaze, 'You are still not escaping punishment for lying.'

'This is so unfair!' Princess Bird's eyes got watery as she knew that a hellish training awaits her after the event.

'As for Landlord, I will deal with him on my own.' The Chief sent this message while gesturing kindly with his hand for Felix to approach the table.

'God damn it, should have fasted for the day if I knew this would have happened.' Felix complained in his mind while walking towards them with a polite smile.

After reaching the Chief side, he nodded his head respectfully towards him and the seniors on the table with him.

Then, he glanced at aggrieved Princess Bird and asked shamelessly, ”Where did you run off? Didn't we agree to meet at the auction's gate?”

Princess Bird's eyes widened in disbelief at the crap he was spewing without a change of expression.

Just as she opened her mouth, wanting to deny his bullshit, The Chief laughed loudly and said, ”Do forgive my daughter. She could be a bit clumsy and forgetful.”

Felix shook his head and said with a satisfied expression, ”I beg to differ, I truly enjoyed her company. And if I didn't lose her, I would have loved to have her around in the previous auction.”

”Youuu!!!!” Princess Bird managed to utter only this as her quickened breaths from rage were making it impossible to construct a sentence.

Looking at her reddened cheeks and ears, Felix smiled gently, ”I am glad that you feel the same way.”
