Chapter 10: The Auction(3)
The Protector was was about to make a move against Cilia. But before he could move a muscle, crisp and loud footsteps echoed in the auction hall amidst the complete silence. The footsteps were followed by a sharp voice laced with enough confidence, "I must admire the Moonfox Consortium. But I am confused. Should I admire it because of their courage or because of their stupidity?"
This was followed by appearance of a youngster on the balcony of the VIP room. Some gasps escaped from mouths of those few people who recognized Amden Vantistart.
Amden continued, "I wonder if the protector may clarify my doubt. Not moving an inch when someone threatened the heir of Vantistart family in his own town and then trying to a make a move against the adopted daughter of the Vantistart family. Is is courage or stupidity?"
The entire auction house went into pin drop silence. Vantistart. The true true ruler of Azailia town.
Amden stood there calmly with an expressionless face.
But the protector was anything but calm. He was horrified beyond measure.
The protector knew that he had made the worst and probably the last mistake of his life. Not only he had ignored two threats from Trot Wilson and Ravien Carter against Amden but he had almost launched an attack on Cilia.
He had also broken his duty set by the Moonfox Consortium to maintain order in the hall by ignoring the two direct threats.
The Consortium ensures security of everyone in the auction hall so that no ine could use their status to suppress another person and force him out of bidding.
He might have easily pulled few contacts to get away with if it was just a random young master and gained the favor of Ravien Carter but now he knew that Moonfox would gladly offer his head to Vantistart family to pacify their anger.
Amden continued to walk and reached next to Cilia.
He gazed at everyon present there. His light blue eyes appeared extremely menancing. They appeared as deep as an abyss ready to swallow everything standing in its way.
He then turned towards Ravien, "Same question to you too. Stupid or courageous. Despite so I must admire you for your stupidity."
Raviene's expression turned extremely ugly at his obvious insult. Yet despite so he was not afraid. He himself was a no road side pauper. His status rivalled Amden as a heir to an elite family. Even if he was standing in Azilia town he knew that Vantistart would not dare to hurt him. Carters were no small players of the power game.
Ravien regained his arrogant expression on his face and spoke, "Even if you are Vantistart heir you are the one to be answering. My guard only tried to pressurize you yet your maid killed him. You should have simply revealed yourself and we could have sorted out matter peacefully."
A smirk formed on his face thinking how he put the blame back on Amden. He continued, "But considering I was the one who ordered first to threaten you not knowing your identity I would offer you an easy way out."
He continued lost in his own worlds, "Apologize to me and I promise my family will not pursue the matter."
Amden didn't react or answered anything to what Ravien said. Instead he spoke," Take one of his hands as punishment for openly threatening me."
A single sentence was enough for Cilia. She moved at a lightning speed and slashed her sword but this time her sword collided with another metal surface. The protector stood opposite her infront of Ravien brandishing his own sword.
Cilia's face frowned. She was a peak C Rank and for her killing a middle B Rank was easy but she couldn't go against an A Rank.
Amden narrowed his eyes. He didn't expected the protector to interfere even after knowing his true identity. Yet it was understandable.
The protector knew that after mistake he had done death was the only option. The Moonfox Consortium would not be willing to go against the entire Vantistart family for him and even so when he had made the mistake. His only bet was the Carters. Ravien had already formed a feud with Amden so joining him was the best way possible. He could only give it all for them now.
Amden face was still expressionless. He was waiting for something or specifically somebody.
Ravien was going to open his mouth once again when suddenly an overwhelming might forced everyone in the auction house on their knees except Amden and Cilia.
In the next moment a red haired matured lady was standing next to Amden. She was Clara.
The moment Ravien had threatened him he had contacted Clara requesting help.
He thought she is generally free and goofing around so she is ideal candidate to ask help.
Only if Clara knew what Amden was thinking. She was happy that her grandchild had remembered her in moment of crisis.
Everyone in the auction house was horrified. Who didn't know her. The legendary Clara Samalia.
She questioned, "What happened my child?"
Amden narrated everything quickly and crisply.
Her eyes turned frosty and the pressure emitted increased further.
She spoke, "It looks like Moonfox Consortium does need to do a lot of explaining. And for now I would be keeping the land as a compensation."
After that she waved her hand. Samuel head rolled down and Ravien's hand was severed. He screamed in pain.
Clara continued to speak without any expression, "Consider this as mercy. If I was the one making decision your head would be lying down."
This was indeed true. Because even if the hand was severed it could be joined again. Just that Carters would need to spend a small fortune for it.
With that Clara, Amden and Cilia disappeared from the auction house.
