Chapter 577 - Agent E (2)

"Wonderful, wonderful. I'm surprised you were so lucky to find these treasures on your journey around the world. I will be placing these precious on the auction lists soon. Would you like to wait in the committee hall or watch the auction in the visitor's VIP seat, Agent E-sama?" Yamamoto Tetsui stood up and offered with a big smile on his face.

"I will wait at the place of my choice. When the auction is over, I will come to you. Don't try to play tricks on me, let alone betray my trust, understand?" Elysia gave a slight warning at the end of her sentence.

"I understand very well my professionalism in trading and auctions. For that, you don't need to worry because I am the one who will be directly responsible." Yamamoto Tetsui tried his best to reassure the mysterious expert. He would lose a great potential supplier if he failed to satisfy the other party.

After receiving the nod, he immediately went out of the room because several jackpots and treasures were included in the auction list.

At the same time, Elysia could finally heave a sigh of relief.

'Fufu, hehe... That sounds cute and elegant, Ely. You are a mysterious expert under the pseudonym Agent E. A world traveler, but not the same world as this one. Luckily this is an auction for the unusual.' Elena laughed happily within the Soul Realm.

'Mm, I didn't lie a little bit in the conversation earlier. Now, I expect a lot of money for items that are easy enough to find in Vrelenia, hehe...' Elysia rubbed her hands together before she left and searched the empty room. She needed to cultivate for some time to recover her EP again.

'Hehe, yeah, yeah... I trust you and your clever, naughty tongue. Your tongue loves to bend facts with mere word performance. Oh, I think your strongest point is not magic, but eloquence, Ely!' Elena said something in surprise, as if she had just discovered a new continent, but her laughter led to something else.

Elysia also laughed before entering an empty room in the corner and locking herself there. She chatted with Elena for a while before she meditated to restore her EP.

Elena was in charge of notifying Elysia when the auction was over. That was an easy thing to do since the emcee's voice was loud enough to be heard in the room.

Meanwhile, two girls looked left and right as if looking for something in the stands. Unfortunately, they ended up disappointed because they couldn't find the person they were looking for.

"She's not in this hall, milady." Mio reported in a whisper-like voice.

"Mm, she might be in backstage right now. This underground hall has only one way out. Let's wait for her at the exit once we get to those rare medicinal herbs." The girl in a dark brown suit heaved a subtle sigh and put her hands on her lap. The auction had already started, and the first item was displayed on stage.

"Understood." Mio nodded in understanding.

Some people looked surprised when they realized the girl's presence in a dark brown suit. They then exchanged greetings with the girl politely and respectfully before they returned to watch the auction.

A few moments later, the rare herbaceous plants have been auctioned off. The girl in a dark brown suit managed to get everything she wanted without anyone trying to compete with her bids for some reason.

"Why do you look in such a hurry, Minamoto Erina-sama? The auction has not yet reached the peak stage, not even the featured items have been brought to the stage." The nearby old gentleman asked with much astonishment.

"Ah, yes, I just wanted to get some herbs for my grandfather. Since I already got them, then it's time for me to go. I'm also looking for someone, I hope she hasn't left yet." Erina looked left and right to try her luck once again in finding the girl disguised as an electrician.

"Ooh, hoho... I hope your grandfather is always blessed with health and a long life. But, I just wanted to let you know since you came a bit late earlier. Right now, there are some extremely unexpected items up for auction. Yamamoto Tetsui himself was the one who announced it at the start of the event. You might like some of them." The nearby old gentleman reminded with a light chuckle.

"Thank you, Hiroki Mito-sama. Even so, I need to excuse myself." Erina gave a slight bow and left with her bodyguard.

"Aah, it's very rare to meet Minamoto Erina, but she seems in a hurry. Is she looking for her lost boyfriend?" Mito chuckled after giving Erina a wave.

"Old friend, I thought you were a bit deaf. Erina-chan looked for someone using the pronoun she. So, it's definitely her female friend." A younger old gentleman clarified with a slight laugh.

This fact then entered the minds of several people who heard it. They wondered what kind of friend could make Erina look so restless.

"Hey, isn't that Erina-sama? What is she doing near the exit?" A fat young master pointed at two girls in the distance.

His friends immediately turned towards the open door. They were surprised to see that it was indeed Erina.

"Shh, don't say that out loud. She's probably waiting for her boyfriend." The nonchalant friend smirked to tell a bitter fact.

"You and your stupid disgusting mouth! You ruined my day by breaking my heart. Ooh, I thought I couldn't live after knowing the noble angel already loves someone else." The broken-hearted friend held his chest as if he was short of breath.

"So stunning... Hey, how about we say hi to her?" The playboy friend brushed his hair back with a confident smile.

"Uhm, I don't want to have the misfortune of our predecessors. We will only appreciate and protect the beauty from afar. But, I suggest don't try to disturb her or you will suffer. If you are not afraid at anything, please go there. We will tell your legend to whoever you leave behind." The fat young master took a step back, and his friends followed in his footsteps.

"Pussy, that's why you all will always be virgins and losers. Let me show you how to be a winner in life." The playboy friend straightened his collar and walked out of the auction hall.

"Hey, how do we tell him?" The nonchalant friend was getting worried now. He could guess the end result only because he had seen a situation like this.

"That's useless. Let him come with his flirting skills and get hit by the demon for trying to seduce the noble angel. None shall approuch Erina-sama with their sinful presences." The broken-hearted friend rubbed his hands as if impatient to see what would happen next.

The ignorant boy came and gave a friendly greeting. Moments later, the demon shooed the boy, but he refused and insisted on something. After a few exchanges of words, the demon slapped the ignorant, and the latter fell on the floor, unconscious.

"Finish him! Fatality. The demon wins."

"Wahaha, I thought so. It was his fault not to find out the fate of our predecessors who were so ignorant as to try to harass our noble angel."

The young masters who witnessed that laughed at their friend's stupidity. Even so, some of them decided to go out and drag the playboy into the hall again.

"What's the matter with the boys? I hate it when they play games like that." Mio wiped her palm with a wet tissue while grumbling.

"Uhm, will he be okay?" Erina felt a little worried. She stared at the young master, with a red handprint on the cheek, being dragged back into the hall by his friends before the door closed tightly.

"He'll be fine. That's what he'll get for trying to touch you. Forget that person. However, it seems we shouldn't be here, milady. Let's go to the back gate instead. That mysterious girl will definitely come out that way." Mio suggested.

"Mm, fine." Erina nodded in agreement. They went to the back gate to wait for the mysterious girl there.

Half an hour later, the auction reached the event's peak and closed with spectacular items.

'Ely, the auction is over. We got rich overnight! This is much better than selling gold like our original plan. Those common items are very expensive on Earth, hehe... Let's squeeze that old man for our money~' Elena reminded Elysia with an enthusiastic giggle.

'Uhm... That's fast.' Elysia opened her eyes and looked at the clock. The auction finished in just one hour?

'Yes, they're not pedantic after all.' Elena shrugged her shoulders.

'Well, let's meet Mr. Yamamoto Tetsui now. Hmm, where is he now? Ah, there he is.' Elysia scanned her surroundings with her advanced perception. She found the one she was looking for was walking towards the bargaining room earlier.

Because of that, she immediately left the room to meet that old man for the auction results.

"Mr. Yamamoto Tetsui." Elysia called out from behind.

"Ah, there you are, Mr. Agent E. I've put all the proceeds from all the items you deposited in this auction onto this bank card. You can access it with the pin code I wrote on the back. The details are there too." Yamamoto Tetsui turned around and handed over a blue card with the jewel logo.

"Hmm..." Elysia briefly checked the pin code and the details listed there.

'386,000 USD? Wait, I thought, the value was reduced. Taxes and stuff are huge, huh... All the money is thirty percent off.' Elena sighed to look at the numbers.

'It's still good nonetheless. I'm so grateful to get easy money.' Elysia was happy, but it didn't show on her face. "Very well, thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Yamamoto Tetsui. I presume you are playing honest and fair with me. Until we meet again."

"Yeah, sure! You can meet me whenever you want to auction anything at my show. If you're interested, we'll have another auction in three months in Osaka." Yamamoto Tetsui rubbed his hands together.

"I'll put that in mind." Elysia paused for a moment and gave a slight nod before continuing on her way again.

"..." Yamamoto Tetsui looked at Agent E's back with some thoughts in mind. Even so, his instincts suddenly told him that this person suddenly looked more potent than the last time they met. But, that was only an hour apart!

Elysia came out of the back area of the hall with some considerations in mind. She and Elena had a brief discussion. They finally decided to secure the money they just got to another international account as soon as possible because they didn't feel safe. This account was created by someone else, after all.

"Excuse me.." A pleasant girl's voice suddenly sounded from the side.
