As soon as they entered, they were led to the 30th floor, where the auction would be held.
A receptionist came to them and extended her hand to the left, leading her to her seat.
The auction hall itself had two floors. Those with money or special status seemed to be directed to the second hall for a better view, while others remained on the first floor.
The hall wasn't that big since they could only handle a thousand people, including the bodyguards.
When they reached the hall, the people's eyes were glued to them as Maya should have the biggest wallet among them.
Maya took the seat while Theo and the other bodyguards stood behind her.
The one sitting next to her was a blue-haired woman. Her face looked more mature than Maya's, and she wore a simple white shirt and long black pants.
The moment Maya took her seat, she immediately tilted her body to the right and waved her hand. "Isn't this Maya? It's been a while."
"I don't know who you are." Maya snorted, refusing to look at her.
"Oh, come on. There's no need to act like that… It's not like I'm planning to do anything." She chuckled.
Maya's eyebrows twitched.
"If you don't talk to me, what should I do with you…" She playfully licked her lips as though she had a plan to mess with Maya.
"What do you want, Lexie?" Maya clenched her fists.
"I just want to greet you. What's wrong with that?"
"Then is there a reason why you're staring at my chest this whole time?" Maya rolled her eyes.
"Hehe, you always push away men, so I believe you're into women. How about I become your girlfriend?"
"Old hag."
"Come on. Only eight years different."
"Still old. Assuming we're living the same age, then you'll die eight years before me. Besides, I'm not into women."
"Even though you keep rejecting men?"
"They're simply too unworthy." She snorted.
"Sadly, Winston is a battle maniac or else he would have courted you." Lexie chuckled.
"Boring." She shrugged.
Theo was confused with their conversation. This was the first time Maya looked so disgusted.
Noticing Theo's expression, the Mythical Rank Expert leaned to him and whispered. "Miss Lexie has been trying to court Miss Maya this whole time. She's a lesbian."
With that one sentence, everything became clear. Theo nodded with a serious expression and thought, 'No wonder.'
He had no prejudice towards people like her, so he didn't say anything or let out any feeling, whether it was disgust or excitement.
As if she noticed the bodyguards' movement, Lexie turned to Theo and the Mythical Rank Expert. "Oh, what is this? A new bodyguard? He's quite handsome…"
"Fuck off." Maya snorted. "Just go flirt with other girls."
"What is this? You seem to be a bit protective of this guy… Or the others too? Oh, maybe you're sexually frustrated and make all these guys your—." Before she finished, she stopped because Maya was glaring at her with killing intent.
"You should stop right now."
"Fine." She raised her hands before trying her luck again with Theo. "Maybe this bodyguard is talented? That's why you're this protective?"
"You can't afford him." Maya snorted.
Because she had been challenging Maya's limit, the situation became tense pretty soon, with them stopping to talk.
After a momentary silence, Maya suddenly raised her hand and summoned her pistol. At the same time, Lexie placed her hand above Maya's pistol and pushed it down, directing it to the ground.
"Fuck off." Maya's expression darkened.
Theo suddenly came to her and whispered something.
Maya thought and accepted Theo's suggestion.
Theo then lifted his finger, and a wall suddenly emerged from the floor, separating Maya and Lexie.
The usage of power wasn't forbidden as long as it didn't harm anyone, so this was the solution Theo came up with. At the same time, he made sure to make it look like he had an Earth Affinity instead of Illusion.
Since Maya was at the edge of the second floor, this wall was enough to regain their peace.
"Annoying." Maya sighed while calming her heart down. She looked at Theo and said, "Thanks."
"You're welcome." Theo nodded before receiving the item catalog for this auction.
There were many powerful equipment and skill ranks. Even Maya used this chance to sell the flower they retrieved from the Arkahan Volcano.
Still, the one that piqued his interest was not artifact, plant, or other items. He simply wanted to get all 5 A Rank Cards. Unfortunately, it was impossible for him to get it because he had no money.
Even though Maya wouldn't mind lending him some money to buy all of them, one A Rank Skill Card alone usually reached one billion Zils. So, he needed to borrow a quite big sum.
With the current situation in Italy, he didn't like to owe money for the time being. Still, it didn't change the fact that he needed to get them because he could at least rank up one skill to A Rank.
'If I wanted to rank up one skill, the skill should use a small amount of Magic Power, or I would have a problem like Agata's dimensional skill. In that case, it's either Blink, Clone, or Telekinesis… But the most useful to me right now is either Clone and Telekinesis. They need 4 and 3 A Rank Skill Cards respectively along with dozens of B Rank Skills…'
Theo fell silent for a moment before whispering to Maya.
"Can you bid three A Rank Skills for me? Since it usually goes above one billion for each card, I would like to ask you to pay for the rest. Well, I still have a few hundred million in my account, but…"
Maya widened her eyes and said, "I can buy all of them."
"Nah, there's no need." Theo shook his head. "Just buy the cheapest one, and I'll be grateful."
"Okay. That's not a problem." Maya agreed without hesitation.
"Alright. Thanks.." Theo stepped back and started looking around to see other people.
