The old man conveyed a look as if he had remembered something, and his interest seemed to fade as he simply said, “Oh.”

How could Gambi pass up the chance to get to know a grandmaster better and hastily added, “I was the one who bid for the Dragon Bone earlier, I didn’t know that you were interested. Please accept my apologies. As a sign of my remorse, I will purchase the Dragon Bone for you, Master Merlin…”

The old man, curiously temperamental, gave no face and curtly stated, “No need. I’ve not stooped so low as to have youngsters buying for me. I only arrived late and was uncertain about the situation…”

He explained a little impatiently before saying, “Never mind, I want the material anyway. You name the price, I’ll buy it at the highest rate.”

“Absolutely not.”

Gambi was so embarrassed, he wanted to bury his face in the ground. He didn’t dare to argue.

Because he knew very well that this grandmaster was notoriously temperamental, that’s why he was banished to Sinless City.

Even while his father was alive, he would also need to follow orders like an obedient student.

The old man seemed to be in a hurry to leave and wasn’t interested in reminiscing or chit-chatting.

He turned his face towards Lew Williams, who was on the stage, and said, “The lad from the Song Family, it’s my fault the issue occurred. You handle it, I will find you once I’m free, and let me know what you need beforehand.”

Hearing these words, all those present who knew him or had heard of him couldn’t help but look envious.

Even big shots struggled to maintain their composure.

It’s been many years since this legendary grandmaster made a public appearance…

They didn’t expect him to still be alive.

They would probably not have seen him if it wasn’t for the Dragon Bone.

Lew Williams didn’t recognize people initially, but when he heard the name

“Master Merlin”, he figured out who it was.

He had a look of pleasant surprise and hurriedly responded, “Yes.”

Saying that, he seemed to remember something and added, “Grandfather

Merlin, my great-grandmother sends her regards to you.”

Calling him “Grandfather” was a master stroke.

This surprised everyone present.

Upon hearing this, the hooded man’s typically cold tone softened a bit, “Hmm. Extend my greetings to your great-grandmother when you have the chance, and let her know that I would like to meet her. After all, there aren’t many chances left in this lifetime.”

Lew Williams with a humbled expression nodded repeatedly, “Yes.”

Having said that, the old man turned around and left.

The unexpected visit concluded as quickly as it began.

The old man left without any delay.

The moment he left, the invisible pressure lifted, and there was a collective sigh of relief in the room.

But when they returned to their senses, everyone’s expressions became quite delicate.

They had just portrayed themselves as if they wanted to skin the plump boss alive, but now all that had vanished.

Even though they knew the Black Gold Trade Union and the Song Family were wealthy.

In Sinless City, there were still many people who wouldn’t give them any face. Now it appears that even the elder of this guy’s family had old ties with Master Merlin.

But such a relationship could not be bought with money.

Inside, everyone felt a mix of resentment and envy.

But no one said anything else.

“Since the material is needed by Master Merlin, I have no objections,” someone said.

“Indeed. Neither do we.”

Everyone started to share their feelings.

A commerce guild that has a connection with Master Merlin is set to have a promising future.

Who could guarantee they wouldn’t need a top-tier card in the future?

This Master Merlin was renowned for being someone who wouldn’t take a single request.

Now knowing that this shop owner has a relationship, that’s good news!

Everyone realized that Great Ivan’s shop was going to strike it big in the future.

Leonard Churchill had also figured out who the visitor was at this point.

It was highly probable that it was the card master from the Information Merchant’s tales.

The Cursed Spade 4 was rumored to be a product of his hands.

It was said that the cards needed by Sinless City’s top bosses were also from him.

Over the past few decades, only three card masters in the Federation have been regarded as “Legendary”.

And this Master Merlin was one of them.

Even though he was exiled, his skills were still legendary!

The auction was nearing its end, but now the Dragon Bone and Giant materials were taken by the old man.

Either everyone wanted to chase after Master Merlin to seize the opportunity or they lost interest in the remaining items, causing a flurry of departures.

The room became nearly empty in a blink, there was no sense in continuing.

Lew Williams, the boss of Great Ivan’s also announced an early conclusion to the internal auction.

As promised earlier, he gave everyone an apology gift of one million.

While the initial handling of the situation seemed inappropriate, the context had changed now.

Master Merlin had stepped forward to handle everything, so no one would insist on compensation.

But Lew Williams still kept his promise.

The guests saw the composure of the plump boss and began to show goodwill.

Ultimately, it was a satisfactory conclusion.

Leonard Churchill initially wanted to see what the last auctioned disaster

object was, but he no longer had the chance.

But obtaining a free one million was a bit of a windfall.

And he got to see the legendary card master.

The visit was already quite beneficial.

But Leonard didn’t have any thoughts of trying his luck.

He was very self-aware, he was not qualified to interact with someone from such a higher class.

At least he knew there was such a master in Sinless City.

And he knew that the boss of Great Ivan’s shop could make contact with the master.

That was enough.

The next morning.

Leonard Churchill arrived at the Hunter’s Association at No. 1 Grove Street in South City District early in the day..
