Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 248 The Royal guards attacked

The moment Kyle stepped in the metal door, he found himself standing at the top of a dimly lit stairway. The stairs stretch downward, disappearing into the shadows.

He glanced at the stairs but didn't move and waited for the others. A few seconds later Regius's hushed voice sounded behind him.

"It's leading underground."

Kyle nodded and when the others arrived behind him, he took a step forward. The light golden flames on both sides of the stairs flickered in a warm glow and within a minute, they reached the end of the stairway.

However, the scenery abruptly changed and a bright hall appeared in front of them. The hall was filled with many chairs and tables occupied by a lot of young and old individuals in different attires. The only thing common in them was that they all looked rich.

The atmosphere was filled with laughter but Kyle's expression hardened when he heard a few muffled sounds.

His gaze darted around and landed at the corner where two chained elven females clad in revealing clothes were sobbing silently but the people sitting in the hall didn't even acknowledge their cries. Instead, they were looking at their bodies with disgusting eyes.

Kyle looked away and his face turned expressionless. It was better not to act recklessly. Moreover, the moment he entered the hall he could feel a lot of eyes on his body.

Just like him, Regius and others were also angered but when he started moving, they silently followed behind him.

A lot of eyes followed their movements as they walked toward a nearby table but then a middle-aged man with emerald hair stopped them with a smile. The man was wearing a long coat with many thin silver strings hanging around his arms.

The man's eyes trailed around them with a glint before he looked at Kyle with a wide smirk.

"Hello sir, my name is Melar. I am the person in charge of sending everyone to their specific seats. However...."

His eyes turned sharp.

"I have never seen you before. Would you be kind enough to show me your card?"

Kyle didn't even flinch under his gaze and waved his hand arrogantly. However, inwardly he was sweating buckets because he wasn't able to sense Melar's rank. Kyle was sure the man was at least (A)-Rank! Not only that he could feel a few more powerful presence around him.

Regius and the others started praising Kyle's guts when they saw how Kyle looked at the man with an arrogant expression and a blue card appeared between his fingers.

Kyle concealed his sweaty palm and flashed the card in front of Melar.

"Will this suffice?"

Melar eyed the card with a smile but his smile faltered when his eyes trailed to the golden carving at the edge. In the next second, he started sweating and bowed down in front of Kyle with an apologetic expression.

"Sir, I apologize. I didn't know you were a VIP guest."

Kyle was startled at the sudden turn of events. He gazed at the card with a complicated expression.

'A VIP card?'

Even though he was surprised, he immediately smoothed his expression and clicked his tongue loudly.

"I am quite disappointed but because my friends are following me I won't create a big issue. Just show us our seats."

Melar nodded frantically and wiped his sweat. Now, he didn't even dare to look at Kyle directly because only a few individuals had VIP cards. Also, the staff was ordered to complete their every request at all costs!

"Please follow me. The auction will start within an hour."

He turned around and started moving. They passed through the crowd and made their way toward the end of the hall.

Kyle raised his brow when Melar neared a wall and didn't stop at all. In the next second, his body disappeared into the wall.

Kyle's eyes widened as he followed behind him with the others. The moment they passed through the wall they felt a cold sensation on their bodies.

Melar looked back at Kyle with a smile and started walking again. They passed through a long narrow path with a few doors before stopping in front of a door.

Melar opened the door to reveal a room for Kyle and the others and all of them stepped inside.

Kyle's eyes darted around, it was a decent room filled with nothing but a few chairs and a long table. The wall opposite him had a large opening, showcasing the area outside the room.

Also, two of the chairs inside the room were occupied by a horned man and a middle-aged elven woman.

Melar pointed at the chairs with a smile.

"Sir, here you and your friends can sit together. The two other guests are also VIPs. Please wait, the auction will start in a while. Also, you can call me anytime by ringing the bell placed on the table."

Kyle nodded at him and Melar disappeared from the room.

Regius who was quiet for so long released a large breath. He eyed the two strangers sitting on the chairs and whispered slowly.

"I feel like I just lived through ten years."

Kyle chuckled and moved toward the chairs. He sat down on one of the chairs, Yue sat down on his left and the others sat down on his right.

All of them gazed at the opening opposite them. It showed a large area filled with rows of chairs. Half of the chairs were occupied and half empty. At the end, a huge stage surrounded by red curtains was present.

Just like their room, a few more openings were present above the rows of chairs. It seems the rooms were specially created for the VIPs to separate them from the common bidders.

The horned man gazed at the youngsters who just arrived in the room with a smile.

"Kids, here to have fun?"

His smile stiffened when no one replied. He was ignored completely like air. The horned man snorted at them and stopped speaking.

Kyle and the others waited patiently for the long-awaited auction but their wait was futile because only after a minute a shrill cry sounded from the form the the rows of chairs.

"We are surrounded! The Royal guards attacked the place run away to save your lives!"
