Atran attached his name to the tablet, and people participated in the auction like it was really soistus left behind
Countless alcheicians, witches, and others were co the prices of the tablet
However, the owner of the tablet ended up being the person known to have the nate Croy
Croy liked the eyes that were on him as he stood up and walked to the podiu azes of all those people He always felt exhilarated when he received those looks
Right now, everyone was beneath his feet Even those that he couldn’t defeat with poere powerless in the face of his wealth
The mercenaries that Croy hired fro, and he returned to his estate after taking the tablet
Then, he casually tossed it to a research center under the clan he was in
His joy caoods; he wasn’t interested in what came after So it was better to leave it to the it rot in his safe
If it was truly worth soher price
If the ru to keep it locked up in his safe as a spoil of war
And thankfully, the research center proved that the spoil of as actually a precious treasure
They put out a new mana potion that shi+ned purple
It was confir else on the ed, it was possible to use it as a single-use ic tool
As the research center continued to pour out other items, those who had been desperately after the tablet and those ere doubtful of the tablet were able to come to a realization
The worth that they had decided upon wasn’t even a hair of its true worth
And this neas confirmed beyond the auction house to the entire Tower
“Uehehehe This feels pretty nice”
Atran spun on his chair, alone in his office, laughing This was his own personal office he received after being pro—fro s, and decorations
This auction was the biggest event in 10 years, and after leading it successfully, he had become the face of the West Wind Union
Also, as ruhout the Tower, so was Atran’s honor
There were even people asking if they could get a manuscript version of the tablet, or other samples if he had any
And of course, Atran had made several manuscripts beforehand
Once the news spreadto release them one by one then He would definitely be able to earn more money if he did that
However, he didn’t make many A treasure shi+ned thefoolish to drop its worth
‘But it’s a shame I could’ve received 10 times, even 20 times more what it was sold for if I knehat it orth’
He didn’t know that Trisistus’s tablet would put the Tower in pandeht
‘There was definitely more after it froet that?’
If he could find additional information, he was confident he could shake the Tower up
‘Should I hire more people to look for that Crow?’
Atran’s frowned thinking of the Crow that vanished without a trace after that day
If only he could find out where that Crow got the tablet from, he would’ve been able to trace where the full one was
He was a mysterious merchant, able to move to and from different dimensions, unlike the Guardians or Players Even if the tablet was froo there
Just when he was licking his lips with regret,
Knock, knock, knock—
With the sudden sound of knocking, his secretary entered
“What’s wrong?”
“So for you, sir We tried to chase them out but they were so stubborn…”
“It’s probably just so for the ive orders not to botherto think about?”
“But…they said they were the original owner of the piece of the tablet…”
“What?”
Atran shot up
“Where is he?”
Atran followed his secretary to the 1st floor where the commotion was
And there he was The bu at the top of his voice
“Tell that Merchant A or whatever he’s called to coe! Tell him to come out! That tablet was mine! Do you think I’ll stay still after he scahtly frowned Now that he thought about it, he had convinced the guy to sell the piece at the price the Tower suggested
At the tied by the system of the Tower Atran had used the loophole that since it wasn’t an artifact, the systenaled his secretary to cal to wait for him upstairs
Soon, the door opened and the Crow entered
He glared at Atran ly His eyes were filled with annoyance, frustration, and indignation However, Atran didn’t e union where a colossal aht blink off the face of this world if he continued tohis fear
‘What are you going to do? H him, but he only looked pitiful to Atran
‘I’ ti He even dared to beat me up ords’
Atran rereatest rookie as causing uproar in the lower floors Atran had met countless custouy
Pushi+ng away the ht griuy stepped back
“Pushover, I e You exchanged the piece at the suggested price, and the syste just fine, so what is this ?”
“Y, You…!”
The Crow clenched his teeth and trembled
He really was a newbie Atran scoffed inwardly and threw a new bait
“However—”
He turned his frown into a fancy sed instantly
“It’s true that we profited ridiculously off of this, so we’ll return 40 of it to you”
The Crow’s eyes widened His eyes shook Atran felt like he could hear the guy’s brainall the way to where he was
The price at which it was sold was already spread all over the Tower The guy was calculating how asped Like he was going to pass out any second
Atran harpooned the flapping fish that just escaped water
“But instead—you have the other pieces of the tablet, right? Won’t you leave that to us?”
The guy flinched like Atran was spot-on Atran could already see the sweat beading on the guy’s forehead
“W, What are you…”
“If a sht a weapon with you?”
The guy just hesitated, not able to answer But the guy was baited by what Atran said, and his nostrils were flaring
