Chapter 63: Upper Town Market (1/2)

A completely new face stood in front of Kadyn! He looked around twenty-one, fair countenance, short black hair, and strong built. All in all, he was a handsome man.

Khrom also realised that something was amiss, spotting Kadyn's reaction, and touched his face. He sighed and said. ”This is my real face. To hide my identity, I had to disguise myself. Otherwise, I would have died a long time ago.”

Kadyn just smiled at that, he looked at him and said. ”We'll hear your story later, but it's ok if you don't want to tell. Though, right now, we have an important matter to do. Go take a bath, then we'll set off.”

Khrom took a deep breath and nodded before looking at his miserable condition. He looked worse than the worst beggar outside the Radiant Brook Temple, covered in dirt and blood, wearing ragged and tattered clothes. Though his handsome face produced a strange contrast with his condition.

”Alright,” he nodded and went to take a bath.

”I wonder, what's the story behind this guy,” Elora murmured.

Kadyn stared at Khrom's back and nodded. Who had this guy offended? After all, he was the 10-star Elementary mage. Therefore his enemy can't be weaker than him. After his previous display, Kadyn realised that his foe was far stronger than him, to the point of making him hopeless. Otherwise, he would not have come here, to beg, to sell himself in order to destroy his enemy. He was desperate for revenge.

Kadyn shook his head, not thinking much into this issue. Khrom was already his employee, and no one can touch his people. Though he forgot that he was just a puny Elementary Mage himself.

Twenty minutes later, Khrom walked out of the bathroom. He had once more resumed his previous appearance. It wasn't a good thing for him to wander with his original face. That could bring lots of trouble. Kadyn saw this but didn't say anything. It was wise to act cautiously.

Kadyn smiled at him and said. ”Let's go. The auction will start soon.”

”Auction?” Khrom tilted his head, looking at Kadyn and said. ”Are we going to the auction that is in Upper Town?”

”You're well informed.” Kadyn smiled and put his bicycle away. Previously, they were just two people and could fit on a single cycle, but now, one person has increased. Can't sit on a single broken two-wheeler, can they? Therefore the trio set off on their feet.

After walking for fifteen minutes, they arrived in front of a vast gate. There stood guards, peering at the passing folks with their beady eyes, whistling whenever a woman passed, commenting and chuckling.

As Kadyn's group arrived in front of the gate. They started to size them, their eyes lit up, spotting Elora behind Kadyn. Though she was just a teenager, she was indeed beautiful.

However, before any one of them could comment or jeer, Khrom released a powerful pressure. All of them turned pale when they felt terrible oppression coming from him. They were just ordinary guards, 5-star elementary mages. How could they compare with someone like Khrom? None of them dared to speak anything and opened the passage for Kadyn's group.
