Gravity Mage with Level-Up System Chapter 1957: Buying a ticket

Auction House

After moving through the crowd, I arrived in front of the crowd. Everyone was fighting hard to buy tickets. It was doubtful that these people were going to bid for anything.

I shook my head. I wasn’t going to buy tickets in the rush. It appeared I could only wait outside the city. But how to identify who successfully bid on the special relic?

The Zero puppet came to mind. It was a risk to leave the puppet here. I could take the puppet along with me while waiting outside.

But a crazy plan came to mind. It was so crazy that I could execute it if there were no Elder Level Powerhouses here.

"System, check whether any Elder Level Powerhouse is here?" I asked the system.

[Ding! There are no Elder Level Powerhouses nearby.]

Hearing that, I sighed in relief. Then I asked the system whether the special relic was here at the auction.

[Ding! The special relic is not here.]

The system’s voice sounded in my mind.

"Attention, everyone. As long as someone pays 100 mid-grade stones, they will get a ticket."

The manager appeared all of a sudden and made an announcement.

Gasp!

A huge exclamation occurred. How could people pay such an amount? Only wizards from a powerful background could do something about it.

The next second, a few people stepped forward, and they were ready to pay the amount. Seeing that, the manager was delighted. He asked them to enter inside.

Then a few more people stepped forward. I joined the group. Many gazes fell on us. Most of their gazes were filled with greed and envy.

They didn’t have such wealth. But they couldn’t do anything here.

We walked inside the auction house. The manager was accepting the mana stones and giving them purple-colored tickets. It was the ticket to attend the auction tomorrow.

The people here were from certain backgrounds. So there was no chance of falsehood here. It didn’t take long for my turn to come. I gave him the mana pouch.

The manager weighed it. Seeing the masked man, he was surprised. When he saw through the strength, he was shocked. The skin looked younger, but the strength had already reached the Supreme Level.

So the person was certain the masked man was from a prominent force. He then accepted the mana pouch and gave the purple ticket.

I nodded to the manager before putting away the purple ticket in the storage bracelet. Then I exited from the place.

I felt a piercing gaze on my back. I walked through the crowd. I could feel the burning gazes of the people. Not only on me, but on others as well.

But I was different. I was walking alone, while others had guards with them. I had become an easy target for others. I ignored them and found the cab driver at the street corner.

Then I spoke to the driver before entering the car. The car driver sat in the driver’s seat and began to drive the car.

Swoosh!

The cab departed from the place. It appeared in midair. It started flying towards the hotel. It didn’t take long for a few bold people to follow from behind.

Among them, certain individuals with backing wanted to try out their luck as well. If they could get free tickets, then an additional member could enter inside.

Twenty minutes later,

The car reached the hotel. I stepped out and paid the fare to the driver. Then I went inside the hotel without turning back.

I quickly went to the room. I was sure a few people would come to the room soon.

Swoosh!

So I appeared inside the Gregor Mansion.

Meanwhile,

The stalkers without a background stayed outside the hotel. They knew the target was staying here. But they couldn’t enter the hotel if they weren’t staying there.

They would be questioned. But the wizards with a background had no such problems. They walked into the hotel. Six of them approached the front desk and began to ask about the masked man.

They introduced themselves as the masked man’s friends. The staff didn’t doubt it. They recognized the wizards were from a certain background.

So they didn’t dare to offend them. They divulged some information, including the room number. The six wizards looked at each other.

Three of them were from the local forces. They asked for the room key. But to that, the staff didn’t agree. The three wizards looked into each other’s eyes.

They decided not to make things difficult. Because the family behind the hotel were not easy people to deal with.

They thanked the staff before going towards the room.

A few minutes later,

They arrived in front of the hotel room. They all looked at each other. They doubted that the masked man was from a wizard force.

Even if he was from a wizard force, the six of them had backers behind them. If six of their forces combined, then they don’t have to be afraid of the masked man.

Knock!

One of them stepped forward and knocked on the door. But there was no response from inside. The six wizards looked at each other.

The person continued to knock on the door. This time it was louder. The knocking was so loud that neighbors opened their doors to come out.

Seeing that, the faces of the wizards twitched. They had expected something else to happen. They expected the masked man to come out.

Then they apologized to the people. The six of them then left the place. They had underestimated the masked man. They thought that the masked man was alerted.

Knowing their arrival, he didn’t open the door. Unfortunately, they couldn’t take any forceful measures here. They could only leave the place dejectedly. They couldn’t do anything here.

The front desk staff watched them leave. They sighed in relief. They knew their motive was unclear. Fortunately, no big incident occurred.

Otherwise, they would have faced trouble. After leaving the hotel, the six wizards didn’t leave the area. The auction was tomorrow. They wanted to know whether the masked man would come out at night.

Knowing that the masked man was cautious, they doubted whether it would happen. Then, they decided to leave in the end.

The other stalkers didn’t leave the place. They wanted to try out their luck here.
