Chapter 359 Dinner on the Eve of the Auction
Later that same day, evening was approaching, and Vicente was at his house waiting for Nova for tonight's dinner.
But while waiting for dinner, he studied some books on the art of forging in his office at the Fuller residence.
Amid his concentrated reading, Torne suddenly called out to him.
'Master, you must be careful with the auction and your plans for the next few days. There is a hazardous person in town.' The old ghost's voice rang in Vice's head and made him look away from the open book on his desk.
'What are you talking about?'
'I just felt a particularly strong sensation coming from someone who passed near where we are. This person is a Dark Path magician who is quite powerful for their level. Their power seems to be quite dangerous, so you should be careful with this person. If they get in your way, avoid them as much as possible.' Torne said in a cautious tone.
'Is it that bad?'
'Yes, if you were on the same level as her, I wouldn't worry. But this person is a Mid-level Mage and doesn't seem to be here for fun. Anyone who provokes her will be in trouble. They don't seem to be the type to take their opponents lightly.'
Vicente asked curiously. 'How difficult would it be for me to take her on with my second magical form?'
'It wouldn't be difficult. They wouldn't stand a chance. But the master can't use your second magic form, and they definitely can't feel why they should fear you. So be careful around this person. I'll let you know when we're near them again.' Torne explained.
'Okay. Thanks for your help.'
After this warning, Vicente put his studies aside for a minute, considering Torne's words and some information he had already heard from his men during the day.
'That's not bad... Although the dangers associated with the auction and the post-auction dispute are increasing, this increases my chances of success.' He thought to himself.
'Lukas said there would be interesting things for us at this auction, but my priority isn't to get any of it but to take advantage of the disputes that will surely take place.
Suppose I can get something of value for the family, good. But if not, it doesn't matter. As long as Shelby and I can carry out our actions...'
Vicente suddenly heard the sound of someone arriving at his house and stopped what he was thinking, getting up from where he was.
As he stood at the window of his office on the second floor of the Fuller residence, he saw three people arriving at his house, two women and a man, all with blue hair.
'Huh? Who are they?' He opened his mouth when he saw Nova standing next to a slightly taller and older woman and a man who must have been the same age as him.
But he didn't waste any time standing in the office and soon went down to the second floor of his apartment building to greet Nova and the two others.
Arriving on the first floor, Vicente saw Nina and Eve greeting the three people, with Nova introducing her companions to the two.
"Nina, Eve, these are my siblings, Myra and Max. They've come from Dryhaven to participate in the auction. I hope you don't mind if they join us for dinner." Nova introduced them.
Nova's older sister, Myra, was just as beautiful as her, with a more mature appearance and a more aggressive way of dressing. She had a beautiful flower tattoo on her right arm and was a level 2 Acolyte, one level stronger than Max, who was currently a level 1 at the age of 16.
Max had short hair and was almost six feet tall, which impressed Eve and Nina as soon as they heard that he was Nova's brother.
Next to Max, Nova looked like a child!
Max and Myra had already heard from Nova about Nina, and the moment they met her, they both couldn't help but feel their hearts beat faster as they pitied this poor girl's situation.
She was so young but already suffering from a disability. How could you not be moved when you met her?
"Hi, Nina. You can call me Aunt Myra. I won't be in Millfall for long, but if you ever come to Dryhaven, I'll be there for you. I'll help you any way I can." Myra said as she leaned down and looked into Nina's eyes, smiling as she showed her beautiful teeth.
Vice heard these people's words and understood the situation. "So these are your siblings..." He commented as he smiled at Nova.
"Nova, when you told me about your family, I had the impression that your siblings were small, like Nina. But I guess I was wrong."
"Was you wrong?" Max looked at Nova. "She has a habit of doing that. Always treating us like the youngest."
Nova loved her family and saw her siblings in a very special way. Even though she wasn't the oldest, she saw all her siblings as her responsibility and treated them as if they were younger.
Since she was only a year younger than Myra and her older sister wasn't as mature as she was, she had always been the more mature one to look after them.
Nova smiled as she looked at her brother, causing him to close his mouth. "Anyway, Myra and Max, this is Vicente Fuller, my boyfriend." She introduced him as she stood beside him.
"So you're the guy who won over my little sister..." Myra looked at Vicente, seeing how well dressed he was, noting his current haircut but also the perfume wafting from his body.
Vicente took great care of his appearance and his manners. Anyone meeting him for the first time would get the feeling of cleanliness, organization, and seriousness.
The Magic Gem on his forehead was quite strange, good enough to attract the attention of even the strictest people. But as people of lesser talent, Max and Myra would never use Vicente's yellow talent as an excuse to try to find trouble with him.
"Vicente Fuller, my parents already know about you. You should prepare to visit our family in Dryhaven in the future. Your relationship should not develop further until then." Max commented, trying to adopt the attitude of his sister's protective brother.
Vicente laughed. "But of course. I'll certainly do that in the future. For now, let me get to know you first." He gestured towards the dining room, where their meal was already ready.
Even though he hadn't prepared for these two, Vicente always had lavish dinners and breakfasts, capable of feeding more people than usually came to his house.
Hosting Max and Myra wouldn't be a problem for him, and soon, everyone was in the dining room, chatting and getting to know each other.
