Chapter 37: It's hard to withstand Ego Eyes!

Attention was nothing foreign to Tetsuya.

He had been the center of attention for years during his stay on the earth, and while it was a little different here, Tetsuya wouldn't turn away from any kind of attention. He enjoyed Mari's eyes trying to analyze and see through him while working on the auction.

Tetsuya also didn't need to work to pull attention. His eyes alone peeking at the young master were enough to gather some more. Tetsuya kept sending his eyes at the young master who spent three thousand gold coins, each glance was enough to bring a seething expression.

A faint smile, which looked like ridiculing one, spread on his face, adding more spice to the whole situation.

After the auction ended, Tetsuya leisurely followed the crowd and left the hall without buying anything. He returned to the tavern with Karola and Yurek, who both wanted to share something important.

"That young master sent people after us." Both of them brought this up at the same time, "They deliberately allowed us to sense them, so this young master is ready for challenge!" Karola added.

Yurek followed this statement, then, "It's easy to see through our appearances. They know that we are associated with merchants, so there is nothing to be scared about. For them, that is." He rubbed his forehead with slight irritation, but Yurek never stopped believing in Tetsuya's strength.

Of course, the old man was more than glad to remind Tetsuya about the dangers of this world, but Tetsuya already left powerful and confident image within Yurek's heart. He decided to not say anything more and just wait for the events to come.

Hours passed in nothing more but pleasure. Tetsuya enjoyed the tavern's food, Karola's stories from mercenary life and Yurek's old stories that were rich with knowledge about this world.

It looked like they were nothing more than a happy family, but things quickly changed when the sun slowly waved its bye bye. The darkness descended upon the town, but just for a mere second as the tower and light runes spread its grace throughout the streets.

"Night If you think about assassination, then night comes to your mind. A dark room, shining moon and cold blood embraced by the icy wind." Tetsuya uttered quietly, his eyes trying to find the moon through the cloudy sky.

Karola slowly giggled to that, knowing that they are about to go out. Her good friend, the old man, sighed and also stood up, "You are enjoying this, don't you? I even thought for a while that I just should stop being so cautious, but it's still better for me to be so."

"Life is meant to be enjoyed. Everyone enjoys life in their own way, so I do. Now, we are going outside the city to meet our assassins." Tetsuya stood up, looked at his inventory for a few seconds, then left the room, "This tavern's food is good, so I would feel slightly bad for bringing problems to their kitchen."

Ashley's voice rang out from the inside, then. This made Tetsuya add something, "This place also has beautiful and passionate memories." His eye turned to Karola who sweetly smiled upon this remark.

"See, how cute and pretty she is now?!" Ashley shouted from the inside. As the first wife who knew this ego bastard the best, Ashley knew that one of her goals is to teach this man to treasure each moment.

Though Tetsuya already treasured those, he never openly shared it with his partners which was bad. Of course, there were some worse cases like him not treasuring the anniversary and so on.

Nonetheless, the time never stopped just like Tetsuya's steps that for him were ahead of the time. He arrived outside the city in an area shrouded in even denser darkness as the branches lingered above their heads.

The guards just checked this spot here, so they shouldn't appear here for some time.

The expected guests arrived smoothly without any problems, though, "You are brave one. But playing a noble can only amount to this much." The young master came with his guards and servants, circling around Tetsuya and his friends in nothing more than five seconds.

They looked at them with blank faces while the young master kept smirking.

Tetsuya was still himself, his face irritating to the masses, "You said I played some young master role in the auction? For what? Why would I even lower myself to the likes of you?"

"Enough of this bullshit. We all know that you want to be like me." The young master introduced himself following this momentum, "You want to be like me, The fourth young master of Yulia Noble Household."

There was a big reaction from Karola and Yurek when they heard this household's name. Tetsuya just shrugged it off, knowing that the old man was about to say something. He quickly added, "No one has even mentioned this household when you are bidding with me. You are also acting rashly and lame, I would say. So, this must not be your real appearance. And you know what? It just downgrades you even more because I know I am right. Such piece of shit like you should just kneel before me and give me an earth rune just to allow me think about your pathetic life." An ego eyes have been used!

The one who rushed forth was the young master, not his servants which went against the young masters' way of doing things! "As I swore earlier this day, you are dead!"
