Primordial Soul's Rebirth

Chapter 60: CHAPTER 60 – Going Back.

Stephan was not someone with a friendly neighborhood grandpa-type personality and everyone knew it.

So, when he walked through the crowd, the people in the crowd automatically made way for him.

It was then that Stephan suddenly grabbed a guy by the collar and lifted him up in the air, shocking everyone.

"Take it out," Stephan spoke to the D-rank raider he held by the collar.

The guy nodded his head with great difficulty, moved his hand towards his pocket, and took out a necklace from out of his pocket as Stephan continued looking at him with strict expression.

The people who saw what it was couldn't help but gasp in shock, after all, it was not just an ordinary necklace.

The necklace was a B-rank item put on the display in the hallway of the Auction building and if it is in this guy's hand, it was easy to guess how he got it.

"As you can see, he was trying to steal an item by taking advantage of the situation and I know there are many others like him hiding among the crowd.

So, I will have to ask you guys to return them to us, as they belong to us."

Stephan spoke as he loosened his grip on the guy's collar, letting him fall to the ground, breathing heavily while coughing as the force of Stephan's hold was too much for him.

Now, some of you might ask – How did Stephan know that this guy had an item?

Even if he is not that strong anymore, he is still someone with great experience in life, and as he was a beggar before awakening, he knows how thieves act.

People were startled when they heard Stephan's words, and they started whispering among themselves.

"What about our compensation?"

No one knew who asked it, but everyone clearly heard the voice, which caused all of their eyes to turn to Stephan, who seemed unfazed by the question.

"Were you invited by the Auction house?" Stephan asked the question in a bland voice which caused the crowd to quiet down again. None of them had the answer to this question and some of them already knew what Stephan was trying to point out.

"No, right? Then you have no right to ask for compensation. You came here at your own risk knowing full well that many powerful raiders were coming here.

You just wanted entertainment."

Stephan spoke those harsh words without a hint of pity in his voice.

Those words caused some people to get sad as there were some people who were genuinely worried about their family members.

"However, you don't have to worry as we will try to find your family members and the ones who are injured will be healed by the association healers for free."

As Stephan spoke this his voice turned a bit soft, after all, he also knew that there was nothing worse than the public's anger.

His words caused the mood of the crowd to lift a little as there were many injured among the crowd as well.

"Now, please form a line and let the Auction staff check your items as I don't want the Association's items to be stolen.

Although I don't want to use force, if you were to resist the checking then you would only gain more suspicion. So, please try to cooperate with the Auction staff."

Stephan spoke and before anyone could speak or do something….

*Boom*

A large piece of the concrete that had collapsed was sent flying in the air with a booming sound as if something or someone from the inside had pushed it out with great force.

"Cough, Cough…"

Then a soft coughing sound was heard along with a fair hand coming out of the place where the concrete was pushed out.

Slowly the figure emerged from the debris and then sat with its back resting on a large piece of concrete.

The healers from the Association that Stephan had brought along with him didn't even think twice before they quickly ran toward the figure sitting next to the concrete boulder.

It was none other than Luna who came out of the collapsed Auction building with many cut marks and crushed marks on her body which were exposed due to her clothes being torn.

If not for the high-quality fabric used to make those clothes, they would not even be hanging over Luna's sinful body.

Stephan also widened his eyes as he saw Luna's condition since he knew how strong Luna was and if she was injured to this extent meant the enemy was strong and this worried him as the Association might send him to fight them off.

"As I said, please cooperate with the staff members and let them search through your belongings.

Now, I will excuse myself."

Stephan spoke and moved towards Luna who an A-rank healer from the Association was healing.

.....................…..

"I see..." Stephan spoke with a deep frown and worry in his eyes.

Luna told him everything that had happened, which included the mana core being stolen and the strange capsule that could explode S-rank raiders.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something bigger was at play here, but he couldn't point out what it was.

"You should rest, I will take care of the things here," Stephan spoke and moved back toward the group of Raiders from the Association as he now needed to deal with the high-ranking guild leaders.

"Wait," But Luna's voice stopped him and he turned towards Luna with a confused look.

"Just tell them that we will personally visit them to discuss this matter," Luna spoke in a resolute voice.

"But I can take care of it.." Luna cut Stephan's word before he could complete it.

"I am the Auction manager and I will deal with my problems, please stay out of this," Luna spoke as she looked straight into Stephan's eyes.

She wanted to deal with this problem herself as she was confident that she could handle this matter better than anyone else as she knew just the way to do it.

"All right, I will inform them about what you said." Stephan knew better than to not poke a hornet's nest as he could tell that Luna was already in a bad mood and he didn't want to take risks.

.....................…..

"All right, thank you for informing us."

Ann spoke to the guy from the Association who had come to inform them about what Luna had said.

"I am just doing my job." The guy spoke and left after a polite bow.

"Guess it's time to go back," Alex spoke, and Alice and Ann nodded their heads.

Ann started the car, and they started moving towards the villa with happy smiles on their faces.

How could they not be happy? They got more things than they could ask for and they knew that there were many more things they were about to get.
