And today, Frank was seeing it in action with his own eyes.
"300 million."
A youth dressed casually raised his paddle just then.
For sreason, the entire auction hall soon turned silent at his call.
Scratching his head nonchalantly, Tavis Holt grinned. "That Hyperion Root belongs to Hundred Bane Sect.
Anyone who bids againstshall be labeled an enemy of my sect... and I'm sure everyone knows what happens
after?"

As Tavis looked around at those around him, everyone who met his gaze were grimacing but backed out of the
bid nonetheless.
No one would ever mess with the ruthless savages of Hundred Bane Sect.
There was no line they would not cross. Anyone who made an enemy of them—even unknowingly— would be
poisoned with a variety of oddities in each instance, and they did it without ever being caught.
Naturally, there was also variety to the condition of the corpse left behind, each more creepy than the last: Some
would melt instantly into a puddle of pus, while others screamed in agony for days before dying.
That was why Hundred Bane Sect was that one sect no one would try to cross—what was more important, one's
life or strinket?
And yet, the woman sitting beside Frank turned toward Tavis and snorted. "Hah! Hundred Bane Sect has the balls
to mess with me? 500 million!"
She appeared so haughty just then that it almost appeared as if she did not worry about them!
"Huh?!" Tavis straightened, scowling as he glared at the woman from afar. "Hey, girl—you're asking for it by
messing with Hundred Bane Sect!"
The woman simply sneered as she glanced at him. "You should know your place—you're the one asking for it. |
am Sif Lionheart of Morhen!"
"What?! Sif Lionheart?!"

The auction hall erupted in an uproar right then—the people here had certainly heard of Sif!
She was the youngest heiress of the Lionheart family and Titus Lionheart's stepsister who managed their
Norsedam branch.
She held so much authority even the mayor of Norsedam answered to her.
With her power, was she just anyone to be messed with?
Even if the Hundred Bane Sect had killed countless people, they would still tread carefully around the Lionhearts,
as they were under the Volsung Sect's protection.
Hence, while the crowd was shocked to hear Sif's name, Tavis was left scowling and silenced.
