Outside the gate of the imperial palace, Viviana was impatiently waiting for Shad inside a golden imperial carriage with the flag of the Djage Empire flutters on each side. Next to carriage were six powerful imperial knights with their set of magnificent armor, silently waiting on the Imperial princess.

After more than ten minutes, Shad came out from the imperial palace and was walking towards the carriage.

Shad was dressed in an azure king robe. The robe was fluttering in the wind and was perfectly framed for his slim muscular body. He was very handsome. His purple-black hair was tied behind his back. His pitch black eyes were like a bottomless pit as usual. An unwavering figure, and a rebellious and ruthless temperament that he had acquired throughout his cold killings during his time in this new world.

Despite wearing this expensive imperial robe, Shad looked rather like the demon king or the head of a gang rather than an imperial prince. Unlike his two brothers who seemed to develop a righteous character at a young age as well as the aura of a great leader that could take on responsibilities, Shad was the complete opposite.

He had a weird temper, dressed weirdly and did not even think the same way as the others. furthermore, his body sometimes was emanating a cold sinister destructive aura which made people afraid of getting close to him.

Well, Shad clearly knew all that and the reason behind some of his behavioral changes. it"s not like he cares too much about how people think of him. he had come to the understanding that every person that you meet in this life or have a relationship with, have a different version of you in their heads. In another word, you are not the same person from your mom"s perspective, your dad, and your siblings than you are to your friends. there are many versions of you out there. The only thing that matter for him is his own version of himself.

" 4th prince your highness," said the imperial knights in unison as Shad got close to the carriage.

Shad only nodded and went inside the carriage.

" what took you so long, I thought I was the only princess in the family." Said, Viviana, as Shad got inside the carriage with a teasing smile on her face.

Her graceful appearance was peerlessly gorgeous. She had some of her mother"s extraordinary grace, but she was a little more elegant and a little sly and mischievous.

Listening to his sister"s comment, Shad can only curse in his heart while smiling at her. He knew what she meant when said that, it was because he has taken a long time to get dressed. He had only taken ten minutes to put some new clothes on and get ready, yet he was accused of being a girl because of that.

" Sorry, let"s go." Answered Shad. He really didn"t want to argue or retorted her. Just like his two older brothers, he can only take his verbal abuse silently without complaining.

Soon the carriage left the imperial palace and went straight to the Business District within the n.o.ble sector.

Not long after, the carriage arrived through the thriving streets of the business district.

The Business district only occupied one-tenth of the n.o.ble sector, but it was the most prosperous place there.

The business district itself was divided into many areas: the weapon shop section, the potion shop section and others types of medicines, the tailor section, the Smithy shop section and the auction section etc.

The business district determined the ups and down of some of the n.o.ble families to some extent within the imperial capital. As such, the n.o.ble families were very strict with its management.

Each corner of the business district was guarded by some imperial guards. Only powerful warriors, mages and n.o.bility had the qualifications to enter into the business district.

just as the carriage arrived at the Auction Houses section, the two of them got off from the carriage and walked into the tallest and most magnificent Auction house.

Entering the auction house, Shad was a little puzzled. Usually, the auction houses section is usually packed with people to the point where only ants can crawl through, especially this auction house they were entering, yet the whole section was void of people.

Just after the two of them walked into the auctions house followed by the imperial knights, they heard a sweet feminine voice from the distance.

" Thank G.o.d, you finally made it Vivi. You don"t know how much those old farts n.o.bles were complaining about us not starting the Auction yet."

The voice They heard was as gentle as the spring"s breeze despite the hateful comments. It was as though the voice of that person was able to seep into their bones, causing countless ripples into their minds.

Hearing this voice, Viviana only mischievously giggled a little while the imperial knights including Shad revealed different expression as they looked over the source of the voice together.

Soon, a young girl approximately the age of 19 or 20, wearing a simple white dress slowly walked over with a brilliant smile on her face.

When she got close to them, a face that was beautiful enough to make every single man goes wild appeared. she had a long black hair like a waterfall, a snow white skin and blue eyes that emitted an endless charm. The young girl has a stunning figure, whether it was chests, b.u.t.tocks, and waists, that young lady had it all and they were all perfect without any flaw.

As she slowly walked over, the curves of her body bounced up and down and the tight clothes she was wearing made it seemed like her b.o.o.bs were going to burst out of it.

" 4th prince your highness, thank you for gracing the Bennett auction house with your presence." Said the young lady with a charming voice as she bowed in front of Shad.

However, before Shad could even answer her back, He was interrupted by his older sister.

"hehe, you don"t have to be that polite in front of my little brother. He doesn"t care about n.o.ble etiquette."

After saying that, she grabbed Shad"s hand like a kid and went inside the auction house.

Shad did not say anything and followed his older sister and Lisa. Shad could act high and mighty everywhere, be cold and ruthless. However, In front of his tomboy and violent sister, he can only act like a mouse in front of a cat. Not to mention, he likes this free and unrestrained sister of his.

After listening to their conservations, Shad finally realized why the auction section was void with people. According to Lisa, the auction was supposed to start about an hour ago, but because she heard that Viviana was coming, she had to postpone the auction to an hour late. Furthermore, there Said to be a big auction today with many and rare items, treasures and rare magic book spells. As such this place was filled with all kinds of people.

The people that came earlier was kind of upset but they couldn"t do anything about it, who made the Bennett family be that wealthy and powerful.

Just like the Kalel family, the Bennett family was an imperial n.o.ble family or ancient n.o.ble family. However, unlike the Kalel family who invests into politics, military affairs, and government offices, the Bennett family prides themselves into commerce and businesses. They were the richest family within the Empire and almost half of the shops in the business district belong to them. From the tailor shop to blacksmith shop and Auction house, they invest in everything and over the years, they have built a business empire covering the whole Djage empire.

As for Lisa, she was the young miss of that family and also the daughter of the head of the Bennett family. She was said to be a prodigy when it comes to commerce and business, and in her hands, the Bennett family"s business continues to grow faster. At such a young age, she had a big say in every big decision in the family. Aside from that, she was also known the second most beautiful girl in the Empire.

As for why she was best friends with Viviana, it was still a mystery.

in less than a minute, Lisa guided them to the VIP box, reserved for only the two of them and the imperial knights.

After some chit-chat with Viviana, she left a hurry.

inside the VIP box, Shad was sitting next to his sister, watching the movements of everyone present below. the main hall of the auction house was filled with people. there was not even an empty seat.

As he was watching those people, Shad had a perplex look on his face. it was because there were many young ladies presents at the auction main hall. most of them were unfamiliar to him and seemed as though they"re from someone else.

Seeing the expression on his brother"s face, Viviana had already guessed what he was thinking and quickly cleared his doubt.

" Don"t make that innocent face, all those ladies you"ve seen down there came for you. Tomorrow is your coming of age ceremony, which means you will be a full-fledged single adult with no fiancee or girlfriend. Those sly n.o.bles came to partic.i.p.ate in the ceremony and brought their daughters with them hoping you will fall for one of them. Even though you have no intention of fighting for the throne, your heaven-defying talent is enough for those young ladies to go head over heels for you. Not to mention, you"ve become the strongest junior mage throughout the whole empire." Explained Viviana with a slight smile on her face.

Shad could not help but to shake his head as he listened to his sister explanation.

Finally, a person came out from behind the stage and everyone"s eyes focused on the stage. Walking out was a girl that was around nineteen years old with a faint smile on her face and a plentiful stature. Her body exuded the aura of a mature woman and her appearance made everyone"s eyes light up. This young girl was none other than Lisa.

"h.e.l.lo friends, I welcome you to our Bennet Auction House. I am the director of this auction house, Lisa, as well as the auctioneer. We offer our sincere grat.i.tude to everyone for picking our Bennet Auction House today and we also deeply apologized for the delay….." After this girl name Lisa finished speaking with a faint smile, she got to the main point, "Then, I won"t be wasting everyone"s precious time and we"ll start the auction now. As the director of the auction, I want to first say that according to every one of friend"s trust in our Bennet Auction House we will bring out the best items possible. Now, the auction will begin!"

"Now, we will begin the auction for our first item. It is something suited for warriors, and it is fire battle skill which is able to transform a warrior"s battle qi into a fire battle qi, the battle skill is known as Dragon"s Breath ."

Just like that, a storm of excitement instantly swept over the main hall of the auction house. In the main hall, countless warriors were completely stunned because they know how rare it is for a battle skill that can transform their battle qi into an elemental battle qi to appear within the continent. All warriors" battle qi are the same, however, it is pretty rare for them to possess battle qi with elemental property and those who possess them, have a huge advantage over those who don"t because it can increase their overall strength by at least 10%. so one imagine how important this battle skill was.

" The bid will start at 10 000 platinum coins."

15 000!" As soon as Lisa"s voice fell, a person with a warrior appearance quickly stood up and loudly shouted his bid. Before coming here today, he never thought that he would be seeing such a powerful and rare battle skill he could never obtain even in his dreams. Not only him, no one thought it would happen.

"80 000 going twice..."

"80 000 going thrice..."

The metal hammer fell, closing the bid. Lisa said with a faint smile, "Congratulations to this sir. This battle skill is yours now!"

80 000 platinum coins was a huge amount of money, it was enough to make 80 commoners to live a life of luxury for the rest of their lives. And, it was the price of the first items, no wonder those people were filthy rich.

As the Auction continues, Viviana kept asking Shad if he wanted any of the items so she can buy it for him, yet Shad was uninterested of them. After some time, Vivia was getting discourage and complained about his dull little brother.

Soon the auction was coming to an end and Lisa was going to present the final items.

" ladies and gentlemen, the auction is about to an end but before that, we are to present the final items. this item will make everyone"s feel like as though their trip today was not in vain.

With that, she took a book from her magic pouch. it was more like a notebook.

" This Notebook was retrieved from the corpse of an ancient powerful warrior within the Great tower. the language in this book is something we"ve never seen before. with the resources of the Bennet family, we were still unable to find an expert to decipher the language in this book. some expert even said that language might have been the language of the G.o.ds. however, we know one thing for sure and it"s that book contains the secret and the Mystery of the Mystical Great tower."

" The open bid for this book is 200 000 platinum coins."

As soon as Lisa"s voice fell, the auction hall became silent and everyone was in dazed after listening to the explanation of Lisa.

Within the VIP box, Shad was trembling with excitement for the first time when he saw that book.

"I want that book at all cost," said Shad to Viviana with an impatient look on his face.

" G.o.d"s language my a.s.s, this book is clearly a diary and it is written in English." thought Shad while he was looking at the t.i.tle of the book.
