The bustling place filled with the clouds of people appeared in Kadyn\'s view. Tens of people had been lining outside the Auction Hall.

Kadyn felt a little uncomfortable, seeing so many people, talking excitedly about the auction of a dwarf. He\'d never thought that he would attend a slave auction in his life. He felt light-headed. So many people, all of them were here to see the show. To see someone being auctioned.

Kadyn sighed, strength reigns supreme everywhere, and the greed of a human knows no bound. It was the same on the Earth. It is the same on the Penegolla, and he doubted it\'ll be different anywhere else.

"Alright, let\'s go," Kadyn took a deep breath and headed towards the entrance of the auction house. He spotted two passages; one was filled with a crowd, pushing, shoving, cursing could be heard from there, while the other was tranquil, elegant, red carpet laid on the floor, and a beautiful woman stood there with flower trays in hands. The difference was vast. 

Anyone could tell what was going on. The treatment of people varies according to their status. It was the same on earth, no matter how much they bullshit about \'The Right to Equality\'. Furthermore, in this world, there was no concept of equality at all.

He proceeded towards the commoner entrance. He doubted that guards would let him pass from the second gate. He was no VIP.

"We can go through the VIP entrance," Khrom said from behind.

Kadyn looked confused when he heard him. Khrom spotted the confusion on his face and explained. "Any 10-star elementary mage or above can use the VIP passage to enter, and they can bring a single person with them. Though the auction house won\'t give them a private room. The treatment is still better than those people standing there." 

"Oh." Kadyn nodded.

"Let\'s go," Khrom said and walked ahead of them.

"Halt!" one of the guards shouted, as he spotted the three youngsters, trying to go through the VIP entrance. He looked at Khrom—who was leading—coldly and said. "This passage is for VIPs. Others can\'t enter."

Khrom didn\'t reply. He just released the pressure, 10-star Elementary Rank. The guard, who was looking at him disdainful, left stunned, turning pale as the pressure dawned over him. He had never thought that the kid who looked not over twenty-one had already become such a high-level magus. Other people also spotted the event and became startled.

"Wow, he looks so young and has already become a 10-star Elementary Magus." A man said excitedly from the crowd.

"I wonder if he is single." Behind that man stood a woman, her face was covered in acne. She looked at Khrom and said. "He looks handsome."

The man turned around and eyed the woman. Then he curled his lips disdainfully and said. "It\'s good to have dreams, but it\'s not good to have pipe dreams."

"You…!!" the woman burst into rage.

As the people talked and argued among themselves, the guard gained his composure again. He glanced at Khrom and Kadyn and Elora. Then said, "Though you\'re a 10-star Elementary Mage, you can take only a single person with you inside."

Khrom didn\'t reply, he turned around and looked at the boy behind him. Kadyn nodded at him and walked forward. He looked at the guard and a powerful pressure released from his body—this time the guard started to tremble. Kadyn was even younger than Khrom; no one could believe that he had reached 10-star Elementary Mage. The guard himself was just a 7-star Elementary Mage after all.

"Can we enter now?" Kadyn asked with a smile.

The guard looked embarrassed and nodded. "Yes, please." He gestured with his hands.

"Let\'s go." Kadyn glanced at Khrom and Elora behind him and walked into the auction hall.

"Do you know who those people are, Captain?" another guard asked from behind the Captain.

"If I knew, why would I stop them?" Captain sounded irritated. That guard stopped asking any further when he saw that the man wasn\'t in a good mood, as he was shamed two times simultaneously—the Captain narrowed his eyes and stared at the back of Kadyn\'s group and murmured. "Since when such talented youngsters appeared in Avibria City? Are they from another city?" 

Unaware of the thoughts of the guard captain, Kadyn arrived into a vast hall. Thousands of seats were present, but over half had already been occupied by other people. At the very front of the hall was an auction stage. Kadyn lifted his gaze and eyed the windows on the first floor. Those were VIP rooms. He could sense powerful auras from there. However, he cared little about them, as he had nothing to do with them.

He looked around and found three empty seats at the right corner of the hall.

"Let\'s go."

After obtaining a seat, Kadyn didn\'t have to wait much before a man walked on the stage. He looked old, about seventy years old. He had white hair and a white beard. However, his eyes were filled with vigour. The old man glanced at the people who were still talking amongst themselves and smiled before speaking. "Hello, everyone." His voice sounded and the hall quieted down, attracting everyone\'s attention. 

"Psychic Element?" Kadyn murmured in confusion. 

Khrom looked surprised when he heard Kadyn\'s words and replied. "He\'s Old Li, 9-star Elementary Mage, and yes, he has Psychic Element."

Kadyn nodded, hearing Khrom\'s words. He also had Psychic Element that\'s why he felt familiar when the old man cast the spell to calm everyone down. Furthermore, the old man was very experienced and fast, not many people realised that he had cast a spell on them.

"Today\'s auction is a little special," Old Li continued. "I guess you have already heard a little about it." Old Li looked at the eager faces of his audience and said. "Yes, our final product is a dwarf."

As soon as his words sounded, an uproar broke inside the auction hall. Many people still had doubts about the credibility of the information. Now Old Li himself had confirmed it. A dwarf would be auctioned today!

Everyone turned incomparably excited at such a thought. Dwarves, the legendary race on the Penegolla, Master Craftsmen. Those people could produce artefacts that could destroy nations.

Old Li waited for the people to calm down and said. "However, before that, we have lots of good stuff as well. I assure you that you won\'t be disappointed."
