217- Object Magnifying Glass

“I swear...”

“I swear to heaven and earth. I swear to any god or devil in this world that if I don’t torture you and your family, then I am not worthy of being alive in this world.”

“I swear that you will pay a price 1000 times worse than this, or else my wife’s soul will not rest in peace.”

The man looked at Alex Xavier and spoke a tone that made everyone present in the room feel cold,

“I can hear my wife’s voice.... she said that she wants to hear your mournful screams....”

“She said, she wants to hear you beg for your life... HAHAHA...”

Alex Xavier’s arrogance immediately brought him back to normal and the man’s words started to irritate him.

“Steward Rake, make him sleep. I feel irritated hearing his voice.”

Steward Rake followed his command and pressed few acupoints located in the man’s neck, which made the man lose consciousness.

Alex Xavier looked at the dead woman and said in a somewhat regretful tone,

“Sigh... such a beautiful woman could not accompany me for long, sigh what a waste.”

“Steward Rake, early in the morning, I want those ‘Special drugs’ in my hands. I don’t want those guys’ two-woman to end up in a similar situation like this woman.”

“Yes, young master.”

Steward Rake bowed and answered.

Alex Xavier got dressed and said,

“Cut off this woman’s head and pack it in a box. I want to gift it to that guy; it would be my compensation for taking his two women... HAHAHA....”

Alex Xavier laughed wickedly. At this time Alex Xavier’s face truly looked like a devil.

Then he walked out of the room and looked at the crescent moon,

“Hehe... enjoy your night with your two women and sleep peacefully, because tomorrow your world would turn upside down and I will make you regret offending someone whom you should never offend... Jee jee jee...”

His laughter echoed which was filled with killing intent.

.

Orochi who was checking his body suddenly frowned for a second and looked at the crescent moon from his window.

The next moment a smile appeared on his face and he whispered,

“Hehe... I wonder what things have you planned for me, Alex Xavier?”

His tone was filled with playfulness.

The hidden ability of the Charm stat- Perception and Intuition, not only makes him aware of the impending and approaching danger or killing intent in his surroundings but, it also makes his sixth sense more sensitive.

It's like the situation where a person sneezes and it is considered as a sign when scolds him or talks about him.

Or a person’s left eyelid twitches for an unknown reason and it is considered as a sign/premonition of something bad is about to happen.

[Author’s side note: Of course, these are just the things that people believed in. Although, I don’t believe in superstitions, but I believe in sneezing superstition, which has a different thing to it. That is if someone sneezes, then don’t go out.

My personal experience: I was going out to order takeaway food, but when I started my bike, a dog sneezed but I chose to ignore it. While I was riding the bike, accidentally my phone slipped out of my pocket and it fell on the road and when I stopped my bike to pick it up, a car’s tire ran the top of my phone. Just think about it, the road was 8-10 meters wide and it was practically empty, I mean in my field of vision only about 4-5 vehicles were on the road with dozens of meters gap between each vehicle, the car’s tire ran on top of my phone? Can I be more unlucky than that?

Then I remembered that a dog sneezed when I started my bike, so this superstition got etched in my mind.]

.

So, while he was lost in thought, he sensed some maliciousness directed at him, and Orochi did not have to waste his mental energy to think of who had such thoughts against him.

He immediately realized that Alex Xavier was targeting him because after entering the town of Chans, the only person he had a conflict with was none other than Alex Xavier.

So, Orochi was not at all flustered, instead, he was excited and couldn’t wait to see what would happen tomorrow.

After few seconds, Orochi got back to cultivating.

‘Currently, my body gives me a sense of fullness and I feel that even if I cultivate, it would not bring any results.’

‘So, instead of cultivating, let me digest these gains and get familiar with my body and realm,’

Determining his next course of action, Orochi got up and started stretching.

Then he lowered all his stats to the minimum by using the ‘Stats locking’ function.

Then he started performing basic exercises like- Pushups, sit-ups, etc.

.

Orochi exercised continuously for 4 hours and only then he felt the ‘sense of fullness’ recede or fade.

Realizing that there were only a few hours left until the auction starts, Orochi contemplated for a moment and then decided to take a nap because he wanted to keep his body and mind at peak to guard against any unexpected factors that might appear tomorrow.

Orochi was woken up by the morning sunlight that fell on him through the window.

Immediately, Orochi went to June’s room and told them to get ready.

A few minutes later, Orochi’s group got dressed and ready.

The two women followed Orochi and the group walked towards the auction.

When Orochi’s group reached the auction building of Golden Cloud Chamber of Commerce, they saw that there was already a huge line of people was formed, waiting to enter the auction building.

Orochi did not join the line, instead, he approached one of the Golden Cloud’s guard.

Seeing that Orochi was skipping the line, few people waiting in the line were waiting to see a show and some were enraged by Orochi’s action.

But when Orochi showed his VIP membership card to the guard, the guard respectfully invited his group inside the auction building.

Seeing this, people who were enraged, immediately shut up, and the people waiting for a show were disappointed.

.

Orochi’s group was led to the rooms prepared for the VIP members of the Golden Cloud Chamber of commerce. So, he was led to a ‘Silver grade’ VIP room.

After Orochi’s group entered the room, they had a clear view of the auction hall. And in the auction hall, a large number of chairs were placed for the people to sit. But the hall was almost empty because there is still some time for the auction to start and people are still slowly entering.

The ‘Silver grade’ VIP room, was quite big. The room was beautifully decorated and various paintings and art pieces were placed in the room to show how much Golden Cloud Chamber of commerce valued their VIP members.

Various expensive fruits were also placed near the rooms.

And two female servants working in the Golden Cloud, stood at the side waiting to serve Orochi and his group.

A one-sided mirror is also placed in the room, such that neither the people present in the auction hall nor the people from other VIP rooms can spy on the people present in Orochi’s room. This protects the identity of the people present in the VIP room.

A female servant approached Orochi and asked in a very respectful tone,

“Sir, would you like us to bring the ‘Object Magnifying Glass’?”

Orochi replied: “Yes.”

Hearing Orochi’s reply, the servant ordered few guards to bring the ‘Object Magnifying Glass’.

‘Object Magnifying Glass’ is an instrument similar to a binocular or telescope which enables the user to look at the object that is away from them.

The ‘Object Magnifying Glass’ is useful for the people attending the auction and are seated in the VIP rooms. It is used by people to look and study the auction item that is dozens of meters away from them and it is of great help for the customers to check the authenticity of the item.

Although Orochi’s eyesight is very good, he still asked for the ‘Object Magnifying Glass’, because it doesn’t cost him anything, so what’s the disadvantage?
