”Since when did I become your wife my lord?” Nocturna blinked her eyes innocently at Cale while clinging onto his left arm. The latter's heartbit suddenly quickened, but he hurriedly calmed himself down. Cale then glanced at Nocturna with slight smile while rubbing her head softly. ”That Lhun Monkey guy dares to oggle at my Nocturna, of course I had to drive him away.” He then frowned as if he was really angered by Lhun Marchand which made Nocturna produce a light melodic laughter. ”My lord, it's Lhun Marchand.”
Cale then faked a surprised expression and asked Nocturna with round eyes. ”Eh? Is it Marchand? Something might be wrong with my ears today.”
Nocturna covered her little mouth with her dainty hands while holding herself back from laughing. Atlas who was listening to their conversation was at loss for words. 'How could there be something wrong with a peak stage Emperor-Class' ears?'
While Cale was busy joking around with Nocturna, he suddenly felt a sense of longing within him. It was as if something inside him had felt or seen what it was wishing for.
Cale glanced at the ancient sword 'Red Lion' on the stage. The bidding for the sword had reached more than one million dollars and the bidding was also slowing down. Cale then pressed on the button attached on his chair.

Cale bade more than half of the current bid for the sword, greatly shocking the guests inside the auction house.
”What a prodigal! Spending more than two million dollars for an ancient sword of a baron!
”Old man Sekoujo, the kid just bade an additional amount of one million dollars!” Delfino was shocked at Cale's bid.
”Let him be. The Tyrannical Tower has a lot of resources and that Wolf King might have asked the kid Cale to buy him some treasures for him.” Old man Sekoujo was also dumbfounded, but he was already immune to the surprises that Cale do.
”2 700 000 dollars for the Red Lion, anyone else who wanted bid?” The scantily dressed woman glanced around auction house and saw no signs of movement among the crowd. ”Congratulations to our dear guests from the Tyrannical Tower!”
