Chapter 381 - Meeting up (1/2)

Usually, when Ray would receive a message, he would carry on walking while reading it. Most messages he ever received were short and to the point, but this time, he stopped dead in the middle of the street. To Bob, who was closely following behind, he thought the actions were strange. After all, he was unable to see the screen that Ray was looking at.

'Did something happen?' Bob wanted to say something, but after looking at the concentration that was on Ray's face, he decided not to and waited patiently until he started moving again.

The message he had received this time was a long one. It wouldn't have been such a big deal if it had come from Slyvia, or someone else, but from Jack, this was rare…very rare indeed.

The contents of the message had explained everything that had happened so far. It even went into more detail about what his father had been doing and what they were really selling at the auction house. Ray had taken a good guess already, based on the strange figure he had seen early trying to break into the -metallic case.

The message from Jack had just fitted in all the pieces of the puzzle for him. At the very end of the message, Jack had requested, explaining Rachel had been taken. It was to borrow quite a large sum of gold from him. To be precise, ten gold coins. This was a small fortune that not even wealthy merchants would easily be able to get their hands on.

The amount was vastly different from the slaves that Ray had purchased. This was because the VIP section was unique. Everyone there had grand wealth and one of the most sought after items were werewolves. The ballpark price was given to Jack by Steven. He never believed Jack would be able to get the money, but if they didn't, the only choice they had left was to fight, and that would be a death sentence. Once they had obtained the money, they could worry about getting into the VIP section later. Perhaps they could even just give the money to someone else to purchase Rachel, or purchase her of whoever bought her.

The others were patiently waiting inside the cave for Jack. Everyone had geared up, including the older women and the small kids ready to fight. Steven had told them to stay out of it, but they had refused, the only reason they hadn't all left was to try snatch Rachel back, because Jack said he might be able to do something.

”Don't worry, you can trust my boss,” Jack said. ”He will definitely have the money.” Jack had an idea of how much gold Ray had brought with him. Ten coins were something Ray should have been able to cover.

Finally, Ray had given a reply.

Jack was so confident that he had read the message he received out loud.

”I spent all the money… wait.. what!?” Jack shouted, confused. ”How could he spend that much money in one day, what the hell did he buy?”

Shortly after another message was sent.

”Don't worry; we can buy your little friend no problem. Meet me just outside the auction house and never ask to borrow money again. It's our money.” Ray had ended the message there.

A smile appeared on Jack's face, and at this point, he was thrilled he had decided to follow Ray.

”Alright, we have the money, now let's go get Rachel back.”

The rest of the group cheered at the news.

When Jack was getting ready to leave the cave with Steven to meet up with Ray. Strangely the others started to still follow them.
