Primordial Soul's Rebirth

Chapter 46: CHAPTER 46 – Phase Two (2).

Luna Tuner had been trying to search for any clues she could find on the entity she had come across but anything she thought was a lead ended up leading her to something else.

She had been frustrated for a while as even when she used everything in her power, she could not get any information on anyone who matched the description of the three people she had met.

The people in the Raider Association were also helpless as they had been trying to search for any clues about the mysterious strong entity that Luna had talked about.

Luna was like a dog searching for any information that could lead her to the people, only to find nothing.

She went so far that she was about to do a complete search on the high-ranking raiders. The people of the Association would not have been able to stop her if not for Stephan stepping up.

When Stephan told Luna to stop the search she had to stop even if she was unwilling as she knew her limits.

Stephan sighed in relief as he saw Luna back down.

He was not in any better position as he knew if a fight were to break out then he would lose without a doubt and as a result everyone would know that he had lost his skill.

Yes, Stephan had already realized that he was unable to use his skill when he failed at using his skill to peek inside the girl's washroom.

At first, he started panicking as he knew what would happen if people were to know about it. But he calmed down after a while, he thought that all he had to do was keep quiet about it, after all, he only had to use his ability to fight against someone really powerful and that kind of fight rarely happens.

He just wished that the next time a situation like Luna's arrived he could use his ability like he used to do. He was still thinking that his ability might return, after all, he clearly remembered using his skill against Alex.

For once he had also thought that maybe Alex's skill had something to with it as it was the first time someone broke his skill like a glass. However, he knew if he were to ask Alex about it, then he would simply be digging his own grave.

Wouldn't he simply be a fool if he were to tell his enemy about his own weakness?

Back to Luna, right now, she was really frustrated as she failed to get any information about Monarch.

Her frustration only grew when she heard that she had to deal with some high-ranking guild master who came to sell something.

But she still became business-ready and sat on the sofa waiting for the said guild master to arrive, after all, she was not just anyone that she wouldn't be able to control her emotions, rather she had perfect control over her emotions as she was businesswoman.

*Knock Knock*

She finally heard the knock after a while indicating that the person she was waiting for had arrived, she knew who it was as she had been told about it. So, she just made herself more comfortable on the sofa she was sitting on and voiced out.

"Come in,"

She didn't stand up when she looked at the person entering as she already knew that this guild was added to the bad books of the Association and was sitting on top of that list.

She heard about the person who was able to stand against Stephan but from what she heard, Stephan didn't use his ability which gave the guy a chance to deliver a strike on Stephan.

She didn't need to show them respect as she knew that she could do the same to Stephan if she were in the same position as the new S-rank raider guy which meant that she was not weaker than them.

But she knew that she couldn't just ignore them so she nodded her head to Alice and got the same in response, then turned to the guy who entered along with them.

She knew who he was what he had done and how dangerous he was so she needed to show him the same respect she would show to any other S-ranker.

However, she froze as she looked at the guy. She had to admit that the rumors and photos did him no justice as he was beyond the word handsome.

But the main reason she froze was completely different, the next second, however, her face turned back to her passive business expression.

'Hoh?' And how could Alex not notice that? But he just kept quiet just like Luna, but he knew that whatever she was thinking was not quite right, even if it was close.

When Luna saw Alex, she felt the same comforting vibe he gave out that anyone else feels and she was affected by it as well, but her bloodline gives her the ability to resist these things so she was not much affected.

What she didn't know was that it was just a little of what Alex could actually do.

However, the main thing was not that.

The main thing was that she felt that his aura was very familiar to Monarch, the entity she had met some days prior. That was why she froze for a second but she relaxed the next second when she thought about it carefully.

Even the aura her body radiated was calming to people, which gave her an advantage in every situation, so, she thought that Alex was just like her.

But she had a nagging feeling that she was missing something, which she decided to think about later.

"What can I do for you, Miss Alice?" She asked as she lifted one of her legs and kept it on the other while gesturing to Alice and the group towards the sofa in front of her.

"I wanted to sell some items in today's Auction," Alice also didn't beat around the bush as she replied while she sat on the sofa in front of Luna.

She had decided to ignore the disrespect shown to her by Luna by not greeting them properly as she knew if their plan was a success then everything was good.

"Oh? Can I look at the items?" Luna asked curiously as she took out the same inspection device she had taken out before.

However, her eyes inadvertently turned towards Alex every once in a while as her heart wanted to believe that maybe the guy in front of her was Monarch but her mind just wouldn't accept the fact.

She just couldn't forget the aura and power she felt from Monarch which was something that the current Alex's power was not even comparable to.

How could she have known how close she was and the fact that Alex was just that good at concealing his aura and power?

"Yes," Alice nodded and took out the items that they got from the gate from her storage ring.

All of them were at least B-ranked and Alex also added the two sliver daggers he had taken from the twin blade assassins.

Luna glanced at Alex again before she started inspecting the items. Her actions, however, didn't go unnoticed by Alice and Ann which caused both of them to turn towards Alex.

Alice and Ann both had an expression that clearly meant 'What happened?' But Alex just shook his head indicating that he was just as clueless as them.

He was not omniscient that he would know everything. He just guessed things but that didn't mean he could understand what people were thinking, not until he unlocks an ability that enables him to do so.

Luna kept inspecting the items and writing details about them on a sheet that she took out from her storage ring. It took her half an hour to complete the inspection and write down every detail about the items.

"Here is the list of the items with their description along with the starting bid, you can go through them," Luna spoke and passed the paper to Alice who took the paper and passed it to Ann, though her hand was about to turn towards Alex.

Alice looked up and saw that no one had noticed that so she sighed in relief.

Ann looked through the paper for a while and then she did some calculations in the tab that she always carries with her. She then looked at Alice who nodded her head gesturing her to speak so she looked at Luna and spoke.

"Can you tell me how much of the amount will be taken by the Auction house?" Ann asked and Luna looked at Ann for a while then spoke.

"The Auction house usually takes 7% of the final bid you get on any item," Luna spoke professionally at which Ann just nodded her head and spoke again.

"Can I know the extra charges you would be taking today?" Luna's eyes turned sharp as she heard those words but they soon returned to normal.

She never told them that the Auction was taking extra charges today because there would be many people gathering and a special item being sold, but when she thought about it carefully it was not that hard to conclude these things if a person knew how business is done.

So, Luna replied again with the same professional air around her.

"If you want to put these items on today's Auction then the charges taken by us would be increased by 3%." Her eyes, however, would always turn towards Alex who was sitting there relaxedly while stroking Noctura who was resting on his shoulder.

"I see," Ann nodded her head then turned towards Alice and nodded her head.

Alice looked at Ann's nod which meant the conditions were acceptable so she spoke.

"We accept the terms and we would like to sell the items in today's auction," Alice spoke and Luna nodded her head taking the sheet back.

But just as everyone was about to stand up, Alex spoke for the first time.

"It's not good to keep looking at someone like that Miss Luna." His words caused Alice and Ann to be surprised a little as they didn't notice anything and they turned towards Luna who was surprised when she heard Alex's words but smiled a little after calming down.

She knew that she couldn't back down, apologize or show any weakness, so, she decided to go for the attack.

"I was just appreciating your looks, Mr Alex." She spoke with a light seductive smile on her lips and Alex just smiled without saying anything.

He didn't want to start a fight, he just wanted to point out that he had caught her stealing glances at him.

"Then we will take out leaves," Alice spoke as she saw Alex nodding at her.

Luna nodded and looked at their departing backs, and for once she felt like she was missing something, but she couldn't quite put a finger on what it was.

How could she have known that the three people she was searching for by using everything at her disposal were right in front of her?
