Chapter 385 - I will deal with them.

Seeing both the people Jack used to refer to, his father and mother his whole life caused a mixed range of emotions. Right now he wanted to just burst out there and grab them. Force them to answer all the questions he had in his head. Why hadn't they done to him, what they had done to his brother Steven. Why leave it till now, and why were they even doing all of this in the first place.

One of the biggest questions of all, were they even his birth parents? If not, then where are his birth parents. Slowly, he could see them walking away as they entered the auction house.

'Should I go in?' he thought. Then he looked at the two kids behind him, noticing how young they were, and even the teenagers weren't much older themselves. 'I have to stay.'

He had decided it was the right thing to do. They needed him more; then he needed his questions answered. Instead, Jack decided the next best thing to do was to send a message to Ray informing him of who was coming.

In the middle of the auction, Ray was comfortably sitting in his seat after having made his fortune. Even Steve was quite relaxed, all they needed to do now was wait for Rachel to come on stage and they could purchase her without causing a disturbance. Just then, the message that Jack had sent had appeared.

"Oh, it looks like the Dems' will be arriving soon," Ray said, informing Steven of what had just happened. After hearing this, Steve made sure to pull up his hood and centred his mask, making sure it covered his face. If they were to see him, it would ruin everything. After all, at one point, Steve was also considered their son.

Although Steve thought everything would be plain sailing from now on. Ray was still unsure in a place like this; nothing was ever straightforward. One would just have to look at the complicated process of getting in the VIP area in the first place. So Ray decided he would send his own message back to Jack.

"I need to ask this of you." The message read. "If things turn sour and your parents get in the way, do I have permission to deal with them."

It was a sensitive matter clearly, but it was one that needed answering. A few moments later, Jack had sent a reply.

"If it comes to it, please, let me deal with them," Jack asked.

"Fair enough."

The auction continued with more items showcased, but none that interested Ray as most of them were useless jewels or weapons he did not care for. However, finally, it seemed like something of interest had come onto the stage. It was another King Tier crystal. Seeing this, meant there was a chance that it could be used to turn into a decent weapon for Jack. Of course, one wouldn't know unless a blacksmith was to inspect it first, but even if it couldn't, it could be used to create something else for another.

"Steve, how much do King Tier crystals usually go for?" Ray asked.

Considering, the advanced armour chest piece he had, sold for 10,000 Bronze coins, which was the same as ten silvers or one gold coin. He expected the price to be upward of this. Still, it should have also been cheaper since it had yet to be made into anything and one would have to pay the cost for it to be forged.

"For something like this, usually ten gold coins will be enough," Steve whispered.

Just as Ray was about to make his bid, the doors to the VIP room opened up wide.

"Please, don't mind us, continue on," Russell said as he entered the room and a female followed closely behind. The others recognised who it was straight away; it was the mayor of Zrey and owner of the auction house.

Following behind him were two head guards for protection as always. Steve, as soon as he saw who had entered the room, all of the emotions he had pent up inside was ready to be unleashed.

Ray immediately could sense the anger in the room and could even see that Steven, the aura was wild, even if he didn't notice it, there were now slight changes happening to his body.

Steve hadn't been this close to his so-called mother and father for years, and now everything felt like it was about to burst.

"Calm down," Ray said as he placed his hand on top of Steves. Suddenly, he felt like his energy was coming out of him. When he looked down, he could see that his fingertips had already transformed,as the nails had grown slightly larger and pointy.

"When?" He said, confused, but the energy continued to be drained out of him and was now entering into Ray's body. Even though Ray already had his mana pool at its max capacity. Taking in a little bit more energy right now would just hurt his body for a short while. As long as it wasn't for a long time, his body should be able to handle it.

Once the slight transformation on Steve's body had disappeared, Ray quickly let go, and the strange feeling that Steve had, disappeared.

'I'm glad this person is on our side.' Steve thought. 'I'm starting to see why the others were so wary of him.'

Both Russell and his wife went backstage, to speak with the staff about what had happened, and who had exactly made such a big sale. While this was happening, the auction continued outside, and Ray was finally able to make his offer.

"12 gold coins," Ray said, placing his bid, but quickly another person had outbidden him stating fifteen gold coins.

There was a big difference between this auction house and the fair market outside. Due to the influential people in the room, and the spare money they had to spend, items would often be purchased for more than they were worth. Still, Ray wished to obtain the King Tier item; he could sense it was a little unusual when looking at it.

"20 gold coins," he said, raising his hand.

For a while, it seemed like no one would dare challenge him, then the unexpected had happened. The old man from the empire before had made a bid. "50 fold coins."

Seeing this happen, it was clear it was a retaliation of what had happened earlier. Afraid that he may lose a lot of money due to this silly rivalry. Ray decided to let the crystal be sold to the old man.

If things didn't go as planned later on in the auction, he might need every gold coin he had in his pocket.

"Aright." The auctioneer said. "Now next we have our main events ready to come out on stage. I know this is what most of you have all been waiting for, and on stage, I will now bring out, our first half-beast, half-man, or otherwise known as, a werewolf."

Out from behind the stage came a man chained up in dirty old clothing and had multiple wounds and scars across his whole body. With him two guards stood by his side, holding a strange type of spear with a crystal attached to the end.

Once the man was placed in the centre of the stage, the two soldiers by his side prepared themselves. They banged the spears against the floor, and an electrical charge seemed to go to the tip of the spear.

At the same time, both of the guards trusted the tip of the spears into the old man. The crystals on end started to light up, and little sparks began to fire off in all different directions, but mainly, the electrical power went into the man's body.

He screamed and screamed in pain, seeing this site had brought back terrible memories for Steven, and right now, he wanted to jump on stage and help the poor man. He had to hold himself back ; he had bit down on his lip hard that it was pierced, blood was dripping from the side of his mouth and fell to the floor just underneath his mask.

The electric shocks continued until eventually, something started to happen; the man on stage started to transform into what they knew as a werewolf.
