Chapter 246 The auction II

Kyle stopped in his tracks and looked at the crying woman. The man sitting on the chair winced in pain when she cleaned his wound. He rubbed her hair with a faint smile.

"I am fine. Don't cry. I am just a normal worker who went there to earn some easy money. I never thought it would cost my life. Let's leave this place it's not safe anymore."

The woman slapped his hand away.

"How are you fine? Look at the wound! It's so deep. The medium-grade healing potion is not working. To cure it completely we need a high-grade healing potion! Also, how are you going to travel in this condition?"

Her voice turned fainter and tears glistened in her eyes. The man was going to comfort her when Kyle cleared his throat to let his presence known.

A wary expression appeared on the man's face. He stood up amidst his bleeding wound and grabbed the woman's wrist to hide her behind his back.

"Who are you?"

His voice was icy cold and the woman panicked when she saw his wound. She gazed at Kyle and her expression hardened.

"Kid, why are you back?"

Kyle looked at the wary couple for a second and took out a healing potion from his mind space. It was the same potion Yue gave him when he was sitting inside the cave.

"I mean no harm. I just saw the blood trail and came back to check."

He showed them the healing potion.

"It's a high-grade healing potion. I can give it to you...."

The man looked at Kyle for a second and then he looked at the woman standing behind him. She whispered something in his ear and he finally understood why she was familiar with the kid.

However, his expression was still vigilant when he looked back at Kyle.

"I believe you are strong because I can't sense your rank. What do you want in exchange there is no way you want to give us such an expensive potion for free."

Kyle gazed at them and went straight to the point.

"I want to know about the auction. Nothing more."

A shocked expression appeared on the man's face when he heard the youth standing in front of him. The woman was also taken aback. She looked at Kyle's figure and stepped away from the man.

"Kid, it's dangerous. Why do you want to know about the auction?"

Her voice was grave because the young boy standing in front of her looked so innocent. It would be a pity if he suffered something tragic.

Kyle's impression of the woman became even better.

"It doesn't matter. Just tell me about it and I will give you the healing potion. It's a win-win situation because after using the potion both of you can leave this place."

She was hesitant but then nodded. In the end, the kid was big enough to decide for himself. Also, they have to leave this place as soon as possible. Who knows when their enemies will arrive at the shop?

She looked at the injured man and gestured for him to trust the kid. The man frowned but he sat down and started narrating what he knew about the auction.

"I only know the location of the auction and the fact.... that they are going to auction a lot of slaves. Nothing else."

Kyle stepped forward. He handed the healing potion to the man with a nod.

"That's enough."

After a few minutes, Kyle stepped out of the shop. He took out the communication crystal Regius bought for him and injected his mana into the crystal.

The crystal trembled slightly and after a few minutes, Regius's voice sounded from the crystal.

"Kyle? Where are you? We thought you were in the weapon shop but when we went to check you were gone."

Kyle looked around and started walking back toward the weapon shop.

"I am not far from that shop. Just tell me your location."

Regius's voice paused for a second.

"Just come back to the same spot where we separated. Also, the others are done looking around and want to go back because now it's getting boring."

"Alright."

Kyle cut the connection and started running through the crowd. His figure flashed and within a few minutes, he arrived in front of the stall where he used his flames to freeze the fingers of the drunken man.

The atmosphere around the place had long returned to normal and the unconscious man's body was nowhere to be seen. Maybe after Kyle left, the man's body was taken away by his friends.

Kyle waited patiently and after ten minutes he saw a few familiar figures walking toward him.

He approached them with unhurried steps. The first one to notice him was Sinon. He exclaimed with surprise.

"You cut your hair?"

He widened his eyes and looked at Kyle with a sour expression.

"I don't want to admit it but I am a little jealous."

Regius patted his shoulder with a chuckle.

"Just a little?"

Sinon slapped his hand away and looked at him from head to toe.

"I am handsome so it's only a little for me. Not sure about you."

Regius's smile faltered but he was a big-hearted person so he ignored Sinon's remark. However, his expression darkened when Niamh and Faith nodded at Sinon's words.

He folded his sleeves with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.

"Let's see who is more handsome when I punch your face once or twice."

Sinon, Niamh, and Faith's faces turned grim. They were ready to run when Yue sighed at their behavior.

"Stop fighting."

She stepped forward to stop them when her gaze finally landed on Kyle. She froze for a second and gazed at his head.

A low whisper emerged from her lips unconsciously.

"Longer were better."

Her voice was so dim that it drifted away with the wind and no one was able to hear it.

Kyle looked at Regius who was ready to spill blood just because he wasn't handsome enough.

'Ahem.... I didn't mean that. It's Sinon.'

He shook his head to clear his mind and gathered their attention.

"Guys, I found the auction location."
