The orders ready pretty quickly. Arthur had ordered a jumbo bowl of ramen with five separate pieces of meat.
The smell turned out to be quite strong, making him even more hungry. After sending the waiter away, he started to eat.
Even Amanda looked so eager to eat that she purposely sipped her ramen broth, producing a sound that would normally bother people but when they saw that the voice came from a classy beauty, they all thought it was a beautiful voice.
"This is delicious," Amanda said, smiling slightly.
Unfortunately, her smile quickly faded as she saw the figure that had appeared behind Arthur.
Who else if not Rose.
"Boss!" She whispered beside Arthur's ear.
"Did you find anything?" asked Arthur.
Of course, Rose and the others weren't just lounging around waiting for Arthur and Amanda.
From evening until now, they have been conducting surveillance throughout the city including the airport to find out who will be their enemy.
"There were four people who came through the airport. We believe they were the ones Mossad called. And we also found the movements of several other mercenaries. Probably, they will attack after you join the auction."
"I see!" Arthur just smiled without showing any other expression.
Rose came to the conclusion that she didn't feel uncomfortable with these people.
After that, she waved her hand at the owner of the stand.
"Boss, give me two bowls of ramen," she said.
Amanda became a bit sullen hearing that.
"Why don't you go back to work? Completely unprofessional," she said.
Rose smiled in response. "Come on, I'm also a human who needs to eat. Plus, the effect of being a knight is so obvious now, my veins feel really weak."
"You can eat somewhere else."
"But I happen to want to eat ramen here."
"..."
Rose, who had intended to be here from the start, clearly wasn't going to leave. However, when her orders came, she became a little confused because there were no seats at all.
Amanda laughed at that, she said "well unfortunately you can only eat standing up if you eat here."
"Fortunately I'm used to eating standing up," Rose replied, forcing a smile.
But beautiful women are ultimately beautiful women.
She had just eaten one spoonful, a man her age suddenly approached her carrying a chair. With a friendly smile, the man said, "Lady, please use this chair, my heart is burning with anger seeing a beauty like you eating standing up."
"Tsk! Tsk!" Amanda laughed as she stared at the man.
"You are really romantic," she said so that the man was a little embarrassed. Maybe he should force himself to do that.
Unfortunately, that didn't make Rose happy. She snorted softly at him and took the chair before waving her hand.
"Go!" She shooed him away so the man opened his mouth in astonishment.
He thought something was wrong.
Why was she sent away? Shouldn't she be thanking him?
As he was wondering, Rose suddenly lifted her t-shirt slightly, revealing her slender and charming waist. However, tucked into her pants was a pistol.
The man immediately panicked, he took a step back before leaving with a frightened face.
This is ultimately a mafia island. Many of its members own firearms and there is no shortage of female members.
The man thinks Rose is one of them.
If he had known that she was a member of the mercenary army, he would probably have cried apologetically because the consequences of dealing with them were more difficult than the mafia.
The latter are just mobs of criminals, but the former are people who often go to war.
Rose paid him no heed. After placing the chair behind her, she immediately sat down, then continued eating.
"Phew!" Amanda sighed. "I think he's a nice guy, really suits you," she said with an expression like she was sorry that Rose rejected that guy.

Heaven Gate Auction House, that was the name of the auction venue.
It's not far from the hotel.
Arthur and the others left on foot.
The building of the auction house had an ancient castle-like design with a large lawn.
It had a different feel due to the many men in black suits standing guard around it, making ordinary people not dare to approach.
Those who enter the building usually wear luxurious outfits, escorted by several people.
Their auras were not only those of the rich, but also dangerous auras.
There is no doubt that most of them are business people who can do bad things to make money.
Arthur even saw quite a number of people watching the events on the Stage of Death, including Jameson and Alan, who were walking together, looking like they had become friendly even though it was clear Alan's role was just that of a follower.
"Boss, are you looking for ancient artifacts here?" Rose asked.
Up until now, she had not asked Arthur about it, only complying with his orders that he would enter the auction.
"As a mercenary, you must have obtained some artifacts, right?" asked Arthur.
"We are, but we always sell them here." Rose laughed. She was starting to regret doing that because ever since becoming a knight, she had started to feel a lot of different things around her.
Maybe most of the ancient artifacts were just ordinary things made in that era, but it was possible that some of them were something unique.
Arthur and the others quickly arrived at the auction house's entrance.
To enter, need an invitation or register identity.
Arthur had the invitation he received from Mia, it could also be used for multiple people simultaneously so he, Rose, and Amanda smoothly entered that auction house.
Rose even had her pistol with her, but she was indeed a woman with experience, with a few tricks, she managed to fool the guards at the entrance.
Inside, there is a hall with a stage and a auditorium.
The stage wasn't very big, but it was so bright that one could see everything above it clearly.
The auditorium, on the other hand, can be described as luxurious. It doesn't use chairs, but rows of sofas that look soft.
There were also several cameras recording the stage, presumably used for those taking part in the auction online.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
