Chapter 755 Escape (Part 1)
"My apologies, Sir Lucian, I forgot to bring my essence stones. Please wait here for me, I will bring them in just a few centuries..." Cedar said to Lucian with an embarrassed expression on his face, and before Lucian could register his words, silver light flashed, and Evan and Cedar disappeared from the star city.
Seeing Evan and Cedar suddenly disappear, Lucian stood in the middle of the room with a blank look on his face. He looked at the empty storage ring in his hand and his eyes flashed with confusion for a moment.
"He will bring the Essence Stones in a few centuries..." Lucian muttered and tried to process the words spoken by Cedar before disappearing. The sudden turn of events overloaded his mind, so it took him about a minute to realize that Cedar and Evan had tricked him
"Those two fu*kers..."
Crunch!
Lucian crushed the empty storage ring that Cedar had given him into dust, and a deep red aura started to emanate from his body. His red eyes flashed with Bloodlust, and his breathing quickened.Follow current novels on novelb((in).(com)
Remembering the words that Cedar spoke with an embarrassed expression on his face before disappearing, for a moment, Lucian even felt like Cedar was genuinely feeling guilty and would really come back in a few centuries to give him his one hundred and three million essence stones.
But when his overloaded mind processed the words a 'a few centuries', his anger reached a completely different level.
"I will kill you bastards..." Lucian roared in anger and his aura of Rank Three Core Evolver burst outward, destroying the entire room.
"Arghh..." The winged woman who was standing outside of the room was blown away by Lucian's aura and crashed against the wall of the auction house. The winged woman was just a Beginner Level Rank One Core Evolver so when she came into contact with Lucian's aura, all of her bones snapped and her life force became extremely weak.
'Who the fu*k did I mess with to receive such a violent treatment...' This was the winged woman's last thought before she lost consciousness.
"Damn it, damn it..." Lucian tried to look for Evan and Cedar using his spiritual senses, but he wasn't able to find them anywhere within the range of his spiritual senses.
"If the president or the manager find out about this..." Lucian's face lost all of its colour and a look of fear flashed on his face.
Lucian was the vice manager of the auction house, and the manager and the president were currently out of Star City due to business, which is why they did not show up even though they were auctioning a rare item like the Enlightenment Stone.
"I need to recover the Enlightenment Stone before the president and manager come back, otherwise..." Lucian muttered as he rushed out of the room.
When he came out of the room, he saw the winged woman lying in a puddle of her own blood, with some broken teeth, but he completely ignored her and moved forward.
Because of the explosion that happened when Lucian released his aura earlier, the security guards were already rushing towards his location.
After talking with the guard leader, Lucian's face turned ugly and he rubbed his eyebrows.
"Alright, just let me know if you find something," He said and ended the call.
"They didn't find them?" Thomas asked after Lucian ended the call.
"People are already watching over all the entrances of the Star City, and there are even people searching for them around the city, but there is still no clue about them," Lucian said, feeling a headache.
'What should I tell the owner of the Enlightenment Stone?' Lucian thought inwardly, unsure of what to do.
When the owner of the Enlightenment Stone brought it for auction, Lucian was very excited because the manager of the auction house was out of the Star City. At that time, he thought that by auctioning the Enlightenment Stone before the manager came back, he would be able to earn a fat commission, but he had never thought that something like this would happen.
'If I don't solve this problem as soon as possible, the reputation of our auction house will fall, and the president...' Lucian thought to himself and shivered just thinking about the consequences if he could not solve this problem.
"I think I can help you in finding them..." Just when Lucian was despairing, he heard a calm but at the same time cunning voice. Lucian quickly looked at Arden, who had just spoken and saw him looking at him with a smile on his face.
Seeing Arden's smile, Lucian could tell he was planning something, but at the moment, he was in a complete pinch so he ignored his cunning smile and asked in a hopeful voice.
"Master Arden, do you really have a way to find those thieves?"
Thomas and Solara also looked at Arden with surprised looks on their faces, wondering what this lump of metal was planning.
Seeing the desperate look on Lucian's face, Arden smirked and nodded his head.
"Did you forget?" He said in a calm voice. "Other than the Enlightenment Stone, that guy also brought the airship created by me."
When Lucien and others heard Arden, a look of realization flashed on their faces and they immediately understood what he was saying.
"Are you saying you can find them using that airship?" Thomas asked, thinking that he might still be able to capture Evan.
"I do have a way, but I will need your help because it is not easy to find them just by using that airship," Arden said, looking at Lucian.
Lucian's eyes lit up when he heard Arden could find Evan and Cedar so he immediately nodded his head. "Don't worry, Master Arden, I will do everything within my power to cooperate with you. Just tell me what you need."
