Chapter 335: Chapter 335: Want to Skip, Just Skip

Spending fifty-seven million on just a small vial of Potions, though not a small figure, wasn’t large enough to distress Sena.

Among the active S-tier adventure groups in this world, only a handful of them could complete the high-difficulty Underground Maze and acquire exceedingly generous rewards.

The revenue earned by any S-tier adventure group from completing an Underground Maze was enough to enrich the lives of an entire village.

Thus, it was normal for each member of an S-tier adventure group to have hundreds of millions jingling in their pockets.

This time, Sena and Chel Belli’s strategy in the Underground Maze was only moderate in scale, yet even so, after all the loot was auctioned off, they still garnered an income of sixty-eight million.

After deducting service fees and the cost of the Revive Elixir, the auction house still owed them several million.

The auction house manager respectfully handed over the Revive Elixir and the auction proceeds to Sena, his face brimming with a smile.

Tossing the acquired Gold Coins into the storage bag, Sena carefully inspected the Potion in her hands—she had seen this kind of Potion once before, its Magic Power aura flowing just like the one she had seen.

There was no doubt, the Revive Elixir was genuine.

Only after confirming the authenticity, did Sena slowly wrap the Potion in cloth and place it in her storage bag,

"It’s unexpected to find such an item here, this trip wasn’t in vain."

"Miss Sena, we’re pleased if you’re satisfied," the manager continued with a smile, "It’s thanks to you that this place shines, otherwise, auctioning this item alone would seem meager. If you find any more good items in the future, we hope you’ll favor our auction house."

Sena and Chel Belli were here purely for the convenience in dealing with their loot.

If they really found something valuable in the Underground Maze, they’d still prefer to sell it in a major city rather than in this remote area.

Still, they couldn’t rule out the possibility of discovering new Underground Mazes nearby, so they might visit this place again in the future.

"We’ll come here with appropriate items to auction."

With a slight parting of her red lips, Sena’s answer was tantalizingly vague, her focus now drifting away from the auction,

"Speaking of which, I’m quite interested in the person who auctioned the Potion. I wonder if it would be convenient for you to introduce us."

The manager immediately became embarrassed; after pondering for a moment, he firmly replied, "I’m sorry, we must keep his identity confidential. However, I will convey your desire to meet him, and if he agrees, I will bring him here."

"Thank you."

With Sena’s approval, the manager walked into the backstage.

In the backstage, many were already waiting for the auction house to pay them their deserved compensation.

Those whose starting price was below one million were gathered in the lobby to wait, while those whose starting price exceeded one million, regardless of the final transaction amount or whether the item sold, were invited to the VIP room.

Following the manager’s directions, Yang Yu went to the designated VIP room immediately after the conclusion of the auction.

When the manager informed him that [Red Blood Rose] was looking for him, Yang Yu didn’t hesitate to refuse.

Yang Yu had no dealings with [Red Blood Rose]; his reputation hadn’t made waves in Serti, and it was even less likely for [Red Blood Rose] to seek him out for work.

Their reason for seeking him was probably because of the Revive Elixir, assuming that Yang Yu, who could produce resurrection medicine, must be a significant figure they wanted to network with.

For some unknown reason, during the auction, Sena occasionally cast curious glances towards his back.

Yang Yu’s intuition told him he had caught Sena’s attention.

Yang Yu could not yet determine if Sena was paying attention to him because of the clothes he wore, thinking he had a unique taste, or for some other reason.

Regardless, since he had already drawn attention, having too many interactions would only increase the risk of exposing himself.

The best solution was to avoid her altogether.

With a look of resignation on his face, Yang Yu lamented, "Being noticed by Red Blood Rose is truly a stroke of fortune in three lifetimes. Unfortunately, my godfather had instructed me before I left to listen to the information, collect the money, and then immediately leave to prepare for the purchase of elves, and absolutely avoid having too many interactions to prevent others from discovering our true intent.

Thus, I regret that I must give up this rare chance to see an S-class adventurer up close, following my godfather’s command."

The person in charge empathized with the feeling of wanting yet being unable to go.

He too wanted to return to see Lady Liu Li of his family, but since someone needed to oversee the auction house, he had to painfully let go.

If there really was a significant figure behind Yang Yu, and one who cared about face, he certainly would not want others to know he had secretly sent someone to buy slaves.

The person in charge expressed his understanding,

"Since you cannot go, I’ll decline on your behalf. Take care of everything, and I hope you successfully find the elf you desire."

Without much further conversation, the person in charge handed Yang Yu the prepared VIP card and saw him off.

Afterward, the person in charge hurried to the location where Red Blood Rose was waiting.

But upon his return, Sena was nowhere to be found, leaving only Chel Belli waiting alone.

Chel Belli said nothing, just handed a note to the person in charge.

"I have a feeling a wonderful fate awaits, I’ll leave for a bit.

If he wishes to see me, ask him to wait a short while; I’ll be right back.

If he declines, please tell Chel Belli to come find me."

Seeing this casual note, the person in charge shook his head with a wry smile. The way Red Blood Rose did things was truly unrestrained, truly leaving whenever she pleased.

...

...

After storing the booklet and VIP card in the system, Yang Yu left the auction house.

According to the detailed descriptions in the booklet, the possible locations where Iyas had been auctioned sharply decreased from seventeen to three.

But those were only the locations where Iyas had been auctioned; the whereabouts of Iyas’s brother were still undecided.

Yang Yu planned to investigate the auction houses that had auctioned Iyas in order from closest to farthest, then obtain the information about the whereabouts of Iyas’s brother from the auction houses, and finally track down Iyas’s brother.

This trip had yielded even more than he had imagined, and finding Hake was only a matter of time.

The only problem was whether Iyas could accept this outcome.

However, things going too smoothly might not be so good after all.

Yang Yu had a premonition that the process would not be as smooth as he imagined.

But for now, everything that was happening was still within his control.
