Rebirth: The Villainous Young Master Doesn't Want to Follow the Script

Chapter 138: Return to its Rightful Owner



***********

Arico couldn't understand Eclipse right now and as much as he wanted to call out for him, from his instincts and experice alone, it would be for the best not to call him out for now and wait for his mood to calm down.

'Just what could be the reason why this brat had a change of mood all of the sudd?'

The Slayer Agt tried to calm himself wh the pressure coming from Eclipse became a little unbearable for him to contain that he almost gasped under the pressure and would likely stumble on the g if he didn't hold himself up.

Eclipse, on one hand, noticed Arico's paled complexion that could rival those plain sheets of paper, immediately snapped from the sudd pressure that he released, and he internally cursed himself for losing control over his emotions.

He sighed as he calmed himself first and looked away from the front cter stage as he tried his best not to get riled up because of the familiar item that's being auctioned right now.

The world-hopper chuckled bitterly as he shook off his head and sighed once again and th looked at his companion who got his complexion back and not on the verge of dying for the lack of air.

After that, Arico grasped heavily as the pressure disappeared and th clutches to his chest to ease the pain of suffocation and he almost glared at Eclipse because of this but tried to restrain himself for not doing it.

"You, okay?"

Eclipse asked his companion in an awkward momt because he felt guilty wh his emotions got haywire at the momt, but he didn't mean to hurt Arico or anyone else.

'Thank goodness that the barrier that I activated prevted the sudd burst of pressure from coming out in this room because if it wasn't, I could be in trouble th.'

For as long as he could remember, wh he joined as the new member and became a novice world-hopper at the Main House System, at that time, his emotions were still in turmoil because of the evts that transpired within his life as Ezekiel Zephyr Chevalier and it became quite troublesome for his part.

The world-hopper shook off his head and tried to calm himself down as he spoke; "I'm alright. Nothing to worry about. Sorry for what happed right now."

After he apologized, Arico just waved his hand and just shrugged off his shoulders as he said; "Don't worry. It's nothing new though."

Unbeknownst to the Slayer Agt, who believe that Eclipse didn't know about his dormant ability hidd beath his consciousness, the world-hopper is quite aware of this unsuspecting ability that he had gain the momt he became one of the residces within the Main House System.

No, scratch that, he had known about this ability of his in his first life as Ezekiel.

'I always thought that because I'm unable to manifest the Chevalier's proud bloodline, I deemed myself as nothing but a useless and a disgraceful noble child of that household but from what I remember, that wasn't the case th.'

For some unknown reason, he had this unusual ability of his that whever his emotions are unstable or whever he feels unpleasant, it causes a great disturbance to the people a him because of the sudd pressure that he released but from time to time, no one had suspected him for the one who cause this mess.

Now, that he thought about it…. There is something that the world-hopper bugs him the most during his first life as Ezekiel Zephyr Chevalier.

'How did I die back th? I only had a vague memory of being in the trial back th but other than that…. All of my memories seems to be vague or more precisely, was blank at that time…'

There are some evts that Eclipse wouldn't be able to recall at all and he only knew that he was betrayed and framed from the crimes that he never committed, the only crime he had known is that… his assassination order for the Marchioness but other than that… nothing else follows.

He could tell that he had be executed after the trial but for the other evts before that time comes, the world-hopper was vague about that and he only remembered that at the momt of his vague death, the system prompted and make a deal with him from that time.

"Are you sure? It seems to me that you have some thoughts about the auctioned item here. Did you perhaps recognize it?"

Now that snapped him back to reality as they were still inside this establishmt where the auction evt takes place and remembered their purpose for joining this evt.

However, Eclipse needs to secure that weapon first before it gets into the wrong hands.

'This shouldn't concern to me since it's no longer my business, but I couldn't let others to take this sword, no matter what happs!'

And besides, there is an owner of this sword, and the right action is to return to its rightful owner.

'For at least, no matter how I told myself that this no longer concerns me, but I am not that heartless not to repay at least of amount of gratitude that they had for me.'

"ARE YOU GUYS READY?! AS FOR THE STARTING BID FOR THIS ITEM…. THE BID STARTS AT 00 COSMOS!"

Wh the starting price for the bid stated by the MC, the audice could only gawk at the price for this item and although some of them could only just stared at the MC like he had two heads for stating that kind of starting bid, but they couldn't help but wanted to bid for this mysterious item and most of them are curious about its feature, aside from having an imbued Ice Elemt.

"0!"

"50!"

"90!"

"30!"

"360!"

"40!"

Arico shook off his head once more wh he watched the familiar sce from earlier; "Seriously? They are at it again. These aristocrats are truly fascinating to the point that it makes me wanted to mess up with them but I'm not in the mood right now."

The Slayer Agt said while watching those bids that wt higher and higher that it almost made him choked on his saliva because of the amount of Cosmos that's pouring in this auction.

"Geez! Did they sell one of their properties so that they could afford to bid in this auction evt?"

Arico said as he shudders while looking at these people who would waste their money for such absurd item just because it has some properties that could befit them or just a display of their wealth, as per Eclipse stated.

"500!"

"530!"

"570!"

Arico snickered as the bids comes higher and higher; "The owner of this establishmt seems to be happy because of the amount of money that keeps on pouring in this auction evt."

Eclipse nodded and th looked at his companion and said straightforwardly; "Bid for it."

The Slayer Agt choked on his drink wh Eclipse suddly said those words; "W-what?"

He coughed to ease the pain he felt as he choked on his drinks wh he heard what the world-hopper just said.

Eclipse, on the other hand, ignore Arico's confusion as he continued; "Just bid for the highest amount and don't worry, I'll be the one who would cover up for the expses."

Arico managed to calm himself down and looked back at him and said; "Are you sure?"

Eclipse; "Hmmm."

The Slayer Agt sighed and just complied; "If you say so th."

Arico wasn't interested into this kind of evt since it wasn't on his job description as a Slayer Agt but right now, he would only do as what Eclipse said since it seems to the Slayer Agt that the second item of this auction evt had some connections to the world-hopper, based on how he reacted by the mere sight of it.

Although the Slayer Agt wasn't bright ough to uncover the reason for all of this matter, Arico wasn't stupid and could only conclude that Eclipse recognized that item and the world-hopper needed it for himself.

'For how much should I bid for? Hmmm….'

"700!"

"0!"

"790—"

Arico didn't hesitate any longer as he placed his bid as he shouted; "500!"

The Slayer Agt cut off those bidders wh he shouted the amount he bid on as per how he observed the others on how to bid and after he shouted, the hall once again reigned silce, just like what happed earlier wh Eclipse bid for the first time.

After that, whispers once again reigned within these people as most of them looked at the direction where Eclipse and Arico situated.

"That balcony again?"

"Yeah, from the first item who bid 900 Cosmos!"

"However, it's a differt voice compared to the one who bid for the first item earlier."

"Th, it means that there are two people in that room!"

"Who are they really? And from whose household they were for them to bid that much money?"

More and more whispers from these aristocrats can be heard and both Arico and Eclipse didn't bother their gossips and now that Arico bid a highest amount, it seems like there would be no one who would dare to bid more.

Unless there is someone who were brave ough to cross the line with them or provoked them in that manner.
