Binding System

Even though the Wynn trading house would be auctioning good spell and skill books, Darwin did not come in person because he was currently dealing with important matters.

It was related to his important business and the death of his two sons, so he only sent his trusted subordinates to come to Wynn trading house.

The names of his trusted subordinates were Tom, Robert and Lucas.

Tom, Robert and Lucas immediately headed to the VIP area because the Hudson family was a VIP guest at Wynn trading house.

The guards let them enter the VIP area after Tom showed the golden token.

After sitting on the couch, Lucas caught sight of Ace. "It's him?"

"Him?" Tom and Robert had never met Ace before, so they did not know who he was. "Who is he?"

"Nothing. He is just a rich young master from another city." Lucas still thought Ace was from a wealthy family.

"Then he is not important." Tom responded, "Remember, our goal is to get the Lightning Move skill."

"That's right." Robert added. "We have to get that skill no matter what, or else our lord will be angry at us."

"You are right." Lucas nodded his head.

Ace was startled when he saw Lucas and the others.

'It seems like enemies are always fated to meet.'

He ignored Lucas and drank his wine.

Like Ace, Layla and Scarlett were also surprised. "It's him?"

At this time, a mage who looked to be in her thirties used her wood magic to create a floor on the second floor.

Wynn trading house was built in a square shape with a space in the middle of the building.

The use of the empty space was to ease the minds of the guests because they built a small garden and fountain on the first floor of the open space.

Now the small garden and fountain were not visible from the upper floors because the wooden floors covered them.

Even though the floor was made of wood, it was strong because it was made of Tier 5 magic.

As Ace and the others were chatting happily, a gorgeous lady who looked to be in her early thirties walked onto the platform.

Everyone instantly stopped talking and turned their heads toward the gorgeous lady.

"Miss Angela is as beautiful as ever!"

"Miss Angela, I love you!"

"Miss Angela, please be my girlfriend."

"Miss Angela, please marry me!"

"Miss Angela, you are my life!"

"If only I were her husband, I would definitely smile in my sleep."

"As long as I can spend one night with her, I'm even willing to lose ten years of my life."

"How can she be so beautiful like that?"

"Maybe God loves her so much."

"I think so too. Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to be so perfect like that."

"She is so beautiful like an angel."

"Maybe that is the reason why her name is Angela."

"I think so too."

The chatter from the second floor erupted.

Several men instantly praised Angela when they saw her walking toward the platform.

Angela Reed had an appearance that neared perfection. Her fine, raised nose and pink lips perfectly matched her pretty face.

Her lovely body was clad in snow-white robes, and her long black hair was pinned together by a pine-shaped hairpin that had a pine leaf as an ornament.

She was so beautiful to the point several men could not take their eyes off her.

But the most beautiful thing about her was not her face.

It was her eyes!

Her emerald eyes were extremely attractive. Any man who saw her emerald eyes would be stunned immediately.

It was so beautiful to the point they would feel as if their souls were being sucked by her after looking at her eyes.

This was one of the reasons why countless men desired to marry her.

Ace was stunned when he saw Angela.

No!

It was not love at first sight.

It was because Angela looked so much like his grandmother Xi Ran when his grandmother was still young.

She resembled his grandmother Xi Ran so much to the point he felt like she was the spitting image of his grandmother.

When Layla noticed Ace's expression, she uttered, "Scarlett, look at Ace! It seems like he has fallen in love with the auctioneer."

Scarlett pinched his right cheek when she saw his expression. "You really have become a pervert, Ace!"

Ace came to his senses when Scarlett pinched his right cheek. "Lady, why are you pinching my cheeks?"

"Ace, did you fall in love at first sight with the auctioneer?" Layla asked curiously.

"No. Why are you asking that question?" he was only stunned because Angela was the splitting image of his grandmother Xi Ran.

"Then why did you look at the auctioneer intently?" Layla inquired. "You even could not take your eyes off her immediately as if she was the most beautiful woman in the world."

"It's because she is the splitting image of someone I know." Ace gave an honest answer.

Of course, Layla did not believe his words and assumed he was just making an excuse. "Bad excuse!"

Unlike Layla, Scarlett believed his words. "Splitting image of someone you know?"

"Yes." He nodded. "That was why I was shocked earlier."

"Ace, didn't you say that you couldn't remember all your past memories?" Layla inquired.

"I still have one memory or two, you know?" he could not tell the truth because it was related to his previous life.

"I don't believe it." Layla giggled after saying that.

As they were chatting, Angela was using her charming voice to describe the item in her hands.

Under her numbing and clear voice, the item had its price increased at an exponential rate.

She always sent a charming smile to the person who just called out the latest price, causing that person to forget the pain of overpaying the item.

"She is an amazing auctioneer." Layla stated after seeing the atmosphere.

What Layla said was right.

Angela was indeed an expert at creating the atmosphere.

Her glances and smiles even could make the price of the item go up exponentially. It could be said the atmosphere was kept a climax with her charming smiles and glances.

This was the reason why Angela was the top auctioneer at the Wynn trading house.

After auctioning the latest item, Angela spoke with her charming smile. "Everyone, I'm sure all of you will be interested in the next item too."

With a wave of her hand, the waitress quickly brought up a skill book that was placed in a small box.

"The name of this skill is Lightning Move. It's a skill at Rare Rank." Angela began explaining the item in her hand with her charming voice. "After you learn this skill, your body will transform into a flash of lightning and you can move from one place to another really fast."

She then continued, "If you can master this movement skill, you can travel a hundred meters in just one second. Or maybe even less than a second because this skill could be said the best movement skill at Rare Rank."

Tom, Robert and Lucas locked their eyes on the skill in Angela's hands.

'That is the skill book our master want. We have to get it no matter what!'

They had to get the Lightning Move skill, or else their lord would be angry at them.

"Now that I have explained this skill, let's began the auction." Angela spoke and paused for a second before she continued, "The starting price for this skill is 400 gold coins and each increment must be at least 1 gold coins."

"401 gold coins." Right after Angela's voice stopped, someone yelled out a price.

"405 gold coins." Another price came right after the first price had been called.

The price quickly went up, and within a couple of seconds, it rose to 500 gold coins.

At this moment, Ace did not call out a price immediately, waiting for the small fry calls to stop.

The price went up again, but the voices immediately stopped when someone yelled out a price. "600 gold coins."

The person, who just called out a price, was sitting in the VIP area. That person was none other than Tom, one of the Hudson family's subordinates.

"Ace, don't you want that skill? Why didn't you call out a price yet?" Scarlett asked curiously.

"Not yet." Ace responded calmly.

Everyone, who sat on the second floor, instantly looked at the person who had just yelled out a price.

'He is from the Hudson family.'

Even though some of them could still compete, but they did not dare to offend the Hudson family.

The people, who were not afraid of the Hudson family, either had no money or no interest in the skill.

"Mr. Tom has bid 600 gold coins. Is there anyone that wishes to raise the price?" Angela inquired.

After skimming his surroundings, Ace believed no one wanted to raise the price.

'Are they afraid of the Hudson Family? Or do they have no money to compete?'

These were the questions that appeared in his mind.

"Ace, it seems like no one will raise the price." Layla spoke and paused for a second before she continued, "If you don't call out a price now, you will lose that skill."

"I think so too." Scarlett added. "I suggest that you call out a price now."

Because no one responded to her question, Angela grabbed the small hammer on the table.

However, when she was about to tap the small hammer on the table, Ace yelled out a price. "610 gold coins."
