I'll become a villain in my next life

Chapter 158: Underworld Auction III

[Holvart Port Town, Auction House]

As Pablo saw the expression of Kaido, he somehow shook his head for a little for sometimes even he thought that Kaido was somehow not taking everything seriously

Even though he was making fun of the pig man on the other balcony across them, both Melfina nor Ingrid felt that somehow quite oppressed by Kaido's rare childish moments

When he glanced at Ingrid, the latter also glanced at him as she said

"It's quite rare to see him having fun on something instead of fighting... . . So let it be for now" she said as she smiled at Kaido

Hearing that Pablo somehow shrugged his earlier remark for he knows that even though he was the first one to meet Kaido, Princess Ingrid was actually the first one who clearly accepted Kaido as a whole no matter who he is or what he is, such her ability to see the ulterior motive of a person played a big role on her having fallen for him

After he thought of that he suddenly asked Kaido

"Kaido-sama! Are you planning to compete with him for this sigil?"

When he asked that Kaido promptly replied

"Compete against him? Why would I? This sigil is simply attractive for everyone... . . Even if I don't do anything, someone instead of me will fight against him for the ownership of this sigil... . . And by then all we need to do is to take the sigil"

"T... . . Take it?!?!" Exclaimed Pablo

"Well yeah! I don't want to cause so much attention anyway since we're under surveillance of the empire, even if we're far from them, we still can't be lax about it... . . And since I have already a bad reputation on the human society, why not use it as my advantage? After all I'm sure that the human country would have informed to the Beastman Country about my existence... . . We don't have to play nice you know!" Explained Kaido

"So... . .so you're telling me that were going to rob whoever win this auction of that sigil?" Asks Pablo with a nervous tone

Hearing that Kaido glanced at h as he tilted his head for a bit as if thinking before replying to him

"Not we but me only... . . We can't show all our hands yet, we don't know how this journey will turn out, in a journey many things could happen because of various circumstances" stated Kaido

"I see so your saying that since your already a fugitive on the run in the human empire, you tend to use this to your alibi to act out" said Pablo after thinking about it

"Yeah mostly like that, and plus it would be a great practice experience since this is the first time I'm doing it" chuckled Kaido as he slowly leaned on his chair

"Huh... . ."

"All we need to do now is wait... . . "

As both Pablo and Kaido were having a conversation, the prices for the sigil went up from 10,000 gold to 25,000 gold

None of the people in the hall seemed to give up on this sigil since they know that the elven nation has many rare material inside their country that would bring any kind of benefits greater than what they've spent here

Due to this the pig man who fought for the price of it felt that this auction was even more difficult to win than the prey one

With that he adruptly shouted a price as he raise it even higher

"30,000 gold"

Although such price was already absurd amount of money, the other participants still didn't heed h as they continued to fight for the sigil's price
