Chapter 191: Operation Kingmaker Part 2

After going through a strict inspection, the carriage was permitted to enter through the underground passageway.

"Why are going through the underground passageway?" Kayn wonders.

"We have to, otherwise they will suspect why we have a hidden compartment," Jericho explains.

"So they are thinking that we are delivering a valuable product and we are using the pile of corn to hide it just like what you've mentioned?"

"Exactly!" Jericho nodded. "The path we are taking is to the underground entrance of the Wing Boots Auction House. No one knows aside from the higher-ups of the Herald Guild that this establishment is actually owned by us. We use it to distribute loots we got from our raids and operations, and also to gather valuable information from VIP clients,"

Kayn understands the meaning of the second function of the auction house. It is a common occurrence that multiple business transactions take place in an auction house other than the auction itself. This other business transaction includes business talks, product trades, and even talks about illegal cooperation.

The reason why he knew about this was because he also owned an auction house in the past and he mainly uses it for that as it gives him a competitive advantage in the market, especially those that he built in the Genesis' territories.

"We are here,"

The carriage stopped in front of a warehouse-looking entrance.

At the doorway were five men dressed as receptionists of the Wing Boots Auction House along with a man who seems to be the manager.

"Greetings, sir Randy," The manager greeted.

"The important item for this night's auction is inside the hidden compartment," Randy pulled another lever. This time, instead of opening the entrance to the hidden compartment, it opened the walls around it.

What was originally an empty hidden compartment now has an item that Kayn has been looking for everywhere in the Slumbering Forest — Forest Spirit Seed.

"I'll explain later," Jericho could easily guess what Kayn was thinking.

"I'll be expecting that," Kayn was a bit disappointed at Jericho. The latter actually has a Forest Spirit Seed yet he didn't mention it to them. He was more than prepared to use the money to buy it or even trade other valuables if needed.

Jericho patted Kayn's shoulder. "Cheer up, I have a surprise prepared for you," That's right, he has other plans for this Forest Spirit Seed. "Let's enter the auction house first before I tell you what it is,"

As they were all in disguise, hence Randy did all the transaction work with the manager for them.

"They are the escorts I've assigned to protect the Forest Spirit Seed until the item finds a buyer. Don't worry, they are capable people that the Herald Guild trust for this transaction," Randy explains.

"We only comply with what the Herald Guild orders us to do," The manager nodded.

The moment the conversation ended, Randy bid farewell and the manager took the Forest Spirit Seed into the warehouse while under the protection of Kayn's group.

They walked into a medium-sized room and after pressing a few buttons, it slowly started moving up.

This was a Mana Elevator. It uses mana to operate instead of electricity, which is a very costly expense, hence it is only used by rich people.

"Who's the leader of your escort group?" The manager suddenly asked.

"I am," Kayn stepped forward.

"You look…" The manager was suspicious but instead of hiding it, he uttered. "Are you wearing a disguise?"

"Is there a problem with it?" Jericho interjected.

The manager immediately understood that these people are most likely members of the Herald Guild who were sent to protect the Forest Spirit Seed in secret.

With that understanding in mind, the manager shook his head and said, "No, there's no problem with being in disguise, at all,"

Kayn motioned his hand for Jericho to back away as he then asked, "Do you perhaps need something?"

"Yes," The manager confirms. "I want you to come with me so that I can give you a tour around the place,"

Kayn immediately understood what it meant. In other words, the manager is going to brief him on what he needs to know about the Wing Boots Auction House.

"I understand,"

Soon, the mana elevator came to a stop and the doorway opened.

On the other side was the actual warehouse where they store all the valuable products that are going to be auctioned tonight.

Unlike the Forest Spirit Seed though, the products weren't guarded. Instead, a guard that patrols the place just casually looks at them every now and then to confirm that there's no problem.

This means that they are not the real deal in this auction event. Albeit, they were still very valuable. Not to mention, useful.

"Your men will be staying inside that private warehouse," The manager pointed at the entrance of what seems to be a private room. "We store the main products of today's auction event inside so that in case someone tries to rub us, the men assigned to protect them can evacuate along with the valuables,"

"While these here, we don't mind, since although they are still valuable and useful, they are common or only slightly rare,"

Kayn didn't utter a single word and only responded with a nod of his head. As an escort, he only needs to know what he deserves to know. Asking questions would be suspicious, and talking a lot would make the manager feel strange since his only job is to protect the Forest Spirit Seed.

"You can leave your men to guard the Forest Spirit Seed for the moment as you come with me," The manager opened the private warehouse and immediately back away.

It seems like although he is the manager, there are things that he mustn't know or see.

"Lead the way," Kayn motioned his hand.

Kayn followed the manager as the latter started informing him of the procedures and arrangements during different situations, which includes an instance where someone tries to rob them.

It took nearly an hour for the manager to finish with the introduction and Kayn entered the private warehouse afterwards.
