BXBX NOVEL Chapter 143 - Clover Square
Kadyn looked at the man and nodded before taking out the crystal ball. "Yes. It is a Rank 2 elemental essence which could increase the attack power of water spells by 50%."
"Oh," Omm\'s eyes shone with interest when he heard his words. Kadyn passed the crystal ball to the manager to check the elemental essence.
Inside the crystal ball was a blue python that from time to time would disappear as if turning into the water itself.
"It is indeed the Rank 2 elemental essence," nodded Omm, as he passed the crystal ball back to Kadyn, though there was some reluctance in his eyes, Kadyn acted as if he didn\'t see it, and put the ball inside pocket. Omm eyed him and asked. "Would you like to sell it to me, or you want to auction it?"
Kadyn thought briefly before asking. "When will the next auction be?"
"Day after tomorrow."
"Alright. Then we will auction it," he said, not taking much time to think. After all, he knew that the value of the elemental essence would increase tremendously in the auction. He would be stupid if he sold it to the manager. After all, the day after tomorrow wasn\'t too far.
"Perfect!" Omm clapped his hands and smiled at the duo. "This is just a weekly auction. The Rank 2 elemental essence could easily become a finishing product of the auction. I\'m sure many youngsters of the noble houses would come to get their hands on it."
"So how much money would I be able to get after the auction?"
"At the very least 6 million Ces." The manager replied. "5% of the money will go to the auction house. All in all, it will be a pretty good amount. However, if you sell it to me right now, I won\'t give you over 4 million Ces."
Kadyn nodded and then said. "Ah, actually, there is one more thing. We want to buy a small plot of land. Do you know someone who is in the real estate business?"
"Why would I know someone like that when I am one myself?" Omm Woulsto grinned at Kadyn. "What kind of plot do you need?"
"I need it to open a shop so it would be great if it is in the Clover Square."
The Clover Square was the main marketplace of the city where all kinds of things could be found. Though he didn\'t know why the Stunning Whirlwind Chamber of Commerce was built at this place. It was quite a distance away. \'Maybe, they don\'t need a special place such as Clover Square. After all, they are one of the four great noble houses.\' He thought, and then shook his head, not thinking much about it.
"Shop, huh?" Omm eyed Kadyn and then said. "No problem. I have a shop in Clover Square. It would cost around 2 million Ces."
\'Shop?\' Kadyn didn\'t want a shop but a land, because he could build the shop himself. Anyway, he knew that it would not be easy to get a plain land in such a busy place so he didn\'t speak about his thoughts. \'2 million it is, then.\' He decided. "Alright, then I will come the day after tomorrow. For auction, and for the shop."
He shook hands with the manager and stood up with Cecelia.
"Have a nice day, sir." Omm Woulsto said and sent them with a professional smile on his face.

"What do you think?" Kadyn asked.
"I don\'t trust him," Cecelia replied.
"Me neither," Kadyn said, "but what can we do? We need money… and land."
"Do you want me to break into another noble house?" the lady grinned when she said it and rubbed her hands in anticipation. One could easily see the excited glint flickering inside her eyes. Kadyn rolled his eyes at her, seeing her reaction, "don\'t be ridiculous," and shook his head.
"Are we just going to wait for two days?"
"No," Kadyn said, he turned towards her, grinning, and went on. "He is the one who will wait."
He Juggled the crystal ball in his hand and sped up towards a certain direction. Cars and bikes and cycles and pedestrians passed on the road continuously, but he cared a little about them, as he scurried through them one by one.
"Where are we going?" Cecelia asked when she found that he wasn\'t walking towards the inn.
"Clover Square," Kadyn replied. "I have heard about it from a servant in the inn, but I don\'t know much about it, so I want to see the place where my shop will be in the future. Furthermore," Kadyn turned towards her and said. "Didn\'t you say you don\'t trust him? So how could we stay at the same place we did last night?
"Maybe, he won\'t do something like attacking and snatching the elemental essence, but it doesn\'t hurt to be extra careful, otherwise, it would be too late to realise the mistake. Huh?" At this moment he sensed something and exchanged glances with Cecelia.
"He is pretty impatient, isn\'t he?" chuckled the beauty disdainfully.
"Let\'s go," Kadyn smiled and increased his speed, and in no time the duo vanished somewhere in the distance. One was the holder of the dark element while the other had dark and wind and even space elements. Who could catch him if he wanted to escape?
Around thirty seconds later the two of them vanished, three men appeared at the same spot. They exchanged confused glances, and one of them said. "I think they discovered us. Didn\'t think they would be able to find us so easily."
"What should we do now?" Another man asked, worriedly.
"What can we do?" The third man replied, his voice cold, almost to the point of emotionless. "Let\'s try to find them, or we will be punished by Mr Omm. Our east branch isn\'t doing too well in recent days, the other three branches are already providing the family with a lot more resources than us. This customer may help us attract and increase our customers.. We can\'t lose him."
