That night, we camped near a small town called Sierra.
It was a small town located at the foot of the mountain, only a few were known for the tea leaves harvested there, but the opposite was completely unknown.
It was in that city that we agreed to meet with people from the Carmell family.
So, when it was almost time for a meeting, we left the camp secretly and set off towards the city.
The people who went to the meeting were Dayana, Katherine, Lina, Ysnay, and me. We were followed by a group of twenty people belonging to the Fangs of Eternity under the command of Lina.
Each of us wore a veil to hide our faces.
Aunt Sera stays in the camp just in case something unexpected happens, and Rose also stays to protect her if they find themselves in a dangerous situation.
Although the meeting place was a city, it was not within a city. Instead, it was on the outskirts of the city, just outside the eastern wall.
The reason behind this arrangement is obviously the nature of our trading. Buying and selling military supplies was forbidden in the empire, so there was no way we could do such a thing inside the city.
As soon as we arrived at the agreed place, we saw about twenty people surrounding some carriages protectively.
Just a glance was enough for me to realize that they were elites. The weakest of them was a fifth-tier practitioner, and I could sense one of them was even a twelfth-tier practitioner.
When the people protecting the carriage sensed our arrival, they looked at us warily.
Then, the man leading the group, a fat man with a gentle smile on his face, walked towards us.
"You must be the people from the Reincarnation Auction Hall."
"We." Aunt Dayana took a step forward and nodded. He then looked at the carriage they were protecting and raised an eyebrow. "Is that the merchandise?"
"He." The fat man nodded. “Two thousand units of military equipment, as promised. What do you think, Ma?”
Aunt Dayana thought for a moment before looking at the fat man. “Can I see them?”
The fat man chuckled and nodded, hinting at my aunt to follow him.
Aunt Dayana then followed the fat man with me beside her. Meanwhile, neither the man from the Carmell Family nor the man from Eternity's Fangs looked ready to attack as soon as the other party showed any signs of hostility.
When we arrived at one of the carriages, the fat man lifted up the sheets that covered it, showing us the contents inside.
Helmet, breastplate, leg guard, shield, sword.
Hundreds of military equipment were neatly stacked inside the carriage.
Aunt Dayana grabbed a few pieces and narrowed her eyes, examining her condition closely.
When he made sure there were no problems with them, he nodded.
“There's nothing wrong with his stuff. Lina, please gold.”
Lina nodded and walked towards us. He then removed the ring from his finger and gave it to the fat man.
This ring was not an ordinary ring, but a precious treasure that could store items within it. It is called a storage ring.
Money for military equipment is stored in the ring.
But just as the fat man was about to grab the ring with a joyful smile, one of the people guarding the carriage extended his hand.
"Wait."
It was a twelfth layer practitioner.
The fat man was surprised. "Mr. Carmel? What'sthat?"
"i need to confirm if they're capable of protecting the cargo." The man surnamed Carmell said and looked towards the Claus group. “This trade is very important for our family. So, if I find you are not strong enough to guarantee nothing is wrong, then it is better if we wait for another chance.
Aunt Dayana fell silent and looked at me, asking my opinion. I shrugged and nodded.
“We don't mind. How are we going to do this?”
The man took a step forward and drew his sword.
“You only need to withstand my sword attack. That will prove your ability.” He said confidently and arrogantly.
I could see the people from the Carmell family twitching around as if they were going to watch a good show. Some of them even started betting on how many would stand after he attacked.
They seemed very confident of the man's victory.
Of course, as a twelfth-tier powerhouse, this man was powerful.
Under normal circumstances, no one in the group of traders could defeat him.
However, we are not a regular group of traders. There are two very powerful powerhouses here.
Unfortunately, someone as weak as that man could not sense our strength with just his weak ability.
Without needing me to say anything, Ysnay sighed and took a step forward.
"Let's hurry."
Before the man finished hearing Ysnay's words, Ysnay extended her hand.
Suddenly, a sword of thread appeared in his hand. Ysnay then raised his sword slowly–
"Fall."
–and swung it down, cutting the man in half.
"K-You ..." The man looked at Ysnay with eyes full of fear. He couldn't understand what had just happened.
Ysnay movement is slow. But for some reason, the man was unable to react to them.
He could only watch as Ysnay's sword slashed his sword, his clothes, and his body.
And then, he collapsed on the ground.
The people from the Carmell family were astonished. For a few seconds, they could not react.
But then, one of them shouted.
"Mr. Carmel!” The fat man rushed towards the man who fainted in panic. At the same time, the people from the Carmell family gasped from a daze and pointed their weapons at Ysnay.
But even though they pointed their weapons at him, Ysnay remained calm, as if it was unimportant.
"Don't make a fuss, I didn't kill him," Ysnay said indifferently. “Also, if you're going to point your gun at me, stop shaking first. That's pathetic.”
A few men from the Carmell family swallowed a mouthful of saliva and took a step back involuntarily.
Ysnay shook her head and turned around, looking at me.
“Did you see this, Willian? you should give me a good gift after making me work so much for you. ”
Yeah, it didn't happen.
I don't know what kind of outrageous thing you're gonna ask for.
As Ysnay said, the man did not die. Ysnay's sword attack was not real, but rather an illusion that felt like it was real.
But even though the man wasn't dead, it didn't mean he was okay.
Quite the contrary, every time he saw Ysnay, he trembled in fear and his face turned pale.
… I hope he doesn't experience any trauma because of this.
Sighing again, I looked at the fat man.
"Can we finish the exchange now?"
The fat man nodded hurriedly and received the storage ring from Lina.
“T-Of course. T-Thank you for your protection. ”
He then gestured to the people from the Carmell family who showed them to give us the goods.
