Night came and the Warbringer Action House began to accommodate guests. Many came and most of them are considerably influential figures of Base 300 but those who came first are the ones with rather low positions.
Personnel at the ranks of a colonel could be seen entering the auction house at almost every second while there are some of those at the ranks of a captain but their number is considerably lesser. Captains can only enter if they have a backer.
At this moment, a group of men arrived wearing domineering military combat suits. Aside from that, they were armed with guns and shields as if they weren't going to attend an auction but to fight a battle.
Then, their group was divided into two. Half of the Colonels entered the auction house while the others remained. And along with the colonels, some captains also entered to serve as the attendants as well as the runners of the Colonels.
In the entrance, they took out a golden card, which was akin to a gate pass into the auction house. Without it, they would not be able to enter. As for Allen's case, hehe, let's wait and see.
"What do you think will happen tonight?"
One of the spectators asked. He was not oblivious of the scenarios that transpired every time the Warbringer Auction House auctioned their items.
"Who knows, last year, we did not expect that a general beast would go on a rampage."
The Warbringer Auction House hosts an auction once a year and when that happens, their items will make the crowd go wild. And, sometimes, the beasts and the demonic beasts, alike, would also go wild in the desire to get a hold of the treasures from the auction house.
The rampage of the beasts and demonic beasts would bring chaos and destruction to the base, but along with it, fortune could also be found. But the fortune comes only to the strong.
The personnel in Base 300 would enjoy heaps and bounds of beasts and demonic beasts to kill without putting much effort in looking for them.
"Yes, if not for the generals, we would already be dead."
Another one commented and expressed his thrill. The items last year were so precious that even the beasts at the ranks of the general were attracted.
"What do you think would be the treasure this year?" Asked another one from the crowd as he joined the conversation.
"Rumors say that there is a treasure that could enhance the darkness-related ability."
It was unknown if what the man said was true. But most of the time, rumors are not baseless.
"For real? ARGH!" An ability user whose ability is related to darkness groaned as he heard that. He wanted to enter but his strength, as well as his influence, did not let him. Also, he did not have a backer.
Then, all of a sudden, a domineering aura reverberated in the surroundings. It was akin to a general's aura. They turned their heads and were stunned by what they saw.
Stripes was walking towards the entrance of Warbringer Auction House while Allen was on his back sitting leisurely and comfortably as he was sipping his wine.
Step by step, Stripes walked towards the entrance of the auction house and only stopped in front of an attendant.
Meanwhile, the attendant was still dazed by what he saw. She is yet to recover. Stripes' aura petrified her.
In the history of the Warbringer Auction House, this was the first time that a guest arrived with a general-ranked beast as a mount. Not even the generals could do this.
To tame a beast, normally, the tamer would be a lot stronger than the beast. Else the beasts would not comply and would escape if it won't fight back.
"I'll take care of it," a lady went out from inside the auction house and said to the attendant who's in charge of greeting the guests. She came out as she had sensed Stripes' profound aura.
"Good day, sir." She greeted Allen with all modesty and politeness.
Stripes lowered his body as he let Allen down. Then, Allen looked at the lady and smiled genuinely.
Despite being captivated, the lady said the words that she was meant to say.
"Sir, do you have a Golden Card? Or a Platinum Card?"
Allen did not know such a thing. Thus, he kept silent in order not to embarrass himself.
At the same time, the lady nodded inwardly as she understood Allen's reaction. Allen was not the first guest of the Warbringer Auction House that did not have a gate pass. Oftentimes, there would be guests that did not have gate passes, but they had strength that could not be ignored.
"I see," she said. Then she bowed before introducing herself coquettishly.
"I am Scarlett, may I know who this fine sir might be?"
Though scarlet was talking to Allen, the crowd was mesmerized, especially the men. A bit more and they would start drooling. But unlike them, Allen was not affected. He stared at Scarlett without any hint of lust or admiration.
With a bright smile, Allen replied, "I am Allen."
"Nice to meet you, Allen," Scarlet replied cheerfully like a little girl.
Then, she paused before adding, "is it okay for me to call you Allen?"
The way she said it would surely hit the hearts of normal men. Even Allen was somewhat affected. After all, who among the men would not admire beauty? But, that's all. Allen did not have any profane thoughts.
It was indeed undeniable that Scarlett is a gorgeous lady. She is one of the weapons of the Warbringer Auction House. The Warbringer Auction house uses beauty trap tactics to their clients and they were also planning to use it on Allen. But as to whether they will succeed, it is uncertain.
"No problem," Allen said. Then, he began waking inside.
Stripes looked at Scarlet and walked with his head held high and followed Allen inside the auction house.
"Allen," Scarlet called, which made Allen stop and look at her.
"Beasts are not allowed inside."
As scarlet said that, Allen laughed inwardly as he had thought of an idea.
"Oh! Really?" He said with an apologetic expression. But in the next second, his expression changed as he smiled playfully as he said, "you can try to stop him."
Meanwhile, Stripes continued to walk.. He understood what Scarlet said but since Allen did not stop him, he, too, did not stop.
