The only old man of the group asked the leader "So how did you even get everything?"
Bai Yishan asked at the same as well "Yeah, I know you got these things working with the nerdy guy but, it had been only three months?"
Even the girl who was still hugging Kylo asked "Yeah, I mean any bidders will get the list of first phase of auction items and some special items will be advertised but you got everything including the possibile bidders..."
"And do not forget he also got us the list of most of the bigshots arriving in the auction along with so much money" added Dumas.
Bai Yishan nodded his head while Anastasia continued "Yeah, we bought hell of a lot of pills, weapons, runes and many other things "
"What do you even expect from the most intelligent, the smartes--"
"Oh shut up for a moment will you?" Yan Qingchang was again interrupted but this time by Anastasia.
And before Yan Qingchang could even retort Kylo answered "What do you think?"
Everyone was covered by a hood and no one could see anyone's expressions but everyone just had an illusion of a nasty grin on Kylo's face.
After a moment of silence it was Yan Zhongyue who broke the silence "So is it that woman?"
"Huh? Which.. which woman??" Anastasia asked with a little.... weird tone.
"Hoh" Nicholas Dumas just let out a gasp which seemed like he imagined something amazing.
And then everyone guessed a woman.
"D-d-d-did y-y-you get it from t-t-the the daughter of the A-Auction house's master?" Yan Qingchang asked while stuttering.
"So what if I did?" Kylo asked while laughing.
Silence.
Complete Silence.
Who was Auction House's master?
Sure the Auction House owner was not the strongest magician on the continent, but he was definitely one of the top 15 powerhouses of the continent.
And as if it was not enough, the wealth and resources he had is enough to even rival that of an empire's.
And if he also put on a bounty on their group, they would just have to leave the continent... If that was even possible.
"L-lets just confirm for a moment. My dear great master will you be taking her with us?" For the first time in a while Yan Qingchang asked without praising his master so much.
Maybe that was the reason others allowed him to complete his querry.
"....You are really an idiot. Why would I take her with us?" Kylo asked in an astonished voice.
"Did you sleep with her?" asked Bai Yishan in his usual heavy voice which seemed to perfectly match the situation.
"Why won't I?" Kylo asked in a bewildered voice.
After a moment of silence once again Nicholas Dumas asked "As far as I know she is a pure girl. Heck it is not just me, the entire continent knows it.
If she gave you her virginity that means she fell for you.
Now you are dumping her... If, just if in case her father gets to know..."
"Ohhhh... let us welcome our beautiful, attractive, short yet glamorous death gracefully." Yan Qingchang said while spreading his hands towards the sunset.
The scene seemed beautiful if it were not for the words that came out of his mouth.
Anastasia clapped, though for a different reason "It is the first time I ever heard him praising someone other than my Master."
"Hmmm and death is praiseworthy huh?" Uncle Dumas quipped.
Kylo was bewildered "Whoa whoa whoa calm down guys, shall we? When did I ever say about dumping her?"
"""""Huh?""""" Everyone suddenly asked in unison as if they had agreed upon this before.
"I mean if we take her and something happens to her wouldn't we be as good as dead no matter what continent we are in?" Kylo replied the group.
"""""So?""""" The group once again as if they had already practiced asked him.
"*cough* *cough* So I said I will come back for her after we get powerful enough and can defend ourselves later." Kylo replied feeling a little iffy.
"Correct me if I am wrong but isn't that just as good as dumping her? I mean just how long do you think it would take for achieving our dreams?" asked Anastasia in an amazed tone.
"And she agreed?" asked Nicholas in a bewildered voice.
"....Yeah." replied Kylo avoiding their gazes.
"""""Wow""""" And the group gasped in amazement.
"We got money from her..." said Anastasia
"We got the list of all items in the auction from her..." continued Yan Qingchang.
"We also got the list of most of the bidders coming to the auction..." said Anastasia once again.
"We also got the list of possible bidders for all the items...." continued Yan Qingchang once again.
"But master just..." Anastasia and Yan Qingchang both said at the same time.
"What a pure woman." Bai Yishan interrupted them to praise her.
"Please don't praise her with such heavy voice." retorted Dumas without hesitation.
"...My voice is not heavy." said Bai Yishan.
"....Sure." replied someone.....
***
A group of two people wearing gray hoods can be seen queuing in a line outside the Auction House.
They stepped forward when the front one entered the Auction House.
One of them took out a gold card invitation.
The guard immediately called out for his senior. The senior guy, with utmost respect guided the two hooded men inside.
The queue were divided in two lines.
The first one where ground floor to second floor bidders, with the only advantage for the second fooor bidders being they can barge in the line and enter the auction house.
Another queue were for third and fourth floor bidders. The fourth floor bidders can barge in, similar to the second floor bidders of the first queue, though the two hooded guy did not.
[Maybe because they did not know the rules or they were just weird.] That was what the guide whose eyes were filled with admiration towards the fourth floor bidders, was thinking when he heard a heavy voice behind as soon as they entered the fourth floor.
"The fourth floor is indeed different."
Another old man's voice replied "Why would you even say something obvious."
And the guide's admiration suddenly turned into disdain.
[It seems this is their first time on fourth floor. How lucky. Maybe he is some representative of a bigshot.]
And he was so true. For they were Nicholas Dumas and Bai Yishan.
And they were Kylo's representative.
And the way bounty hunters were chasing Kylo, Kylo was indeed a big shot. A different type of big shot the guide could never imagine.
But even if he was filled with disdain inside, he never showed it on his face. After all they were all well trained, and even if it is their first time one cannot look down on anyone entering the fourth floor.
And the guide heard the heavy voice once again
"But she is such a holy girl..." said Bai Yishan.
"Shut it already!" replied Nicholas Dumas.
Of course the girl Bai Yishan was talking about was the daughter of Auction House which already tired Nicholas since he has been hearing it from the moment they left the terrace.
But the guide who did not know anything just thought
[Maybe... for the first time in a while the women raised for dual cultivation will be useful.]

(Author Note:- This is the period when our Kylo is a little awkward with emotions. He is a smart guy but doesn't understand much about emotions.
Also he lacks experience so while he maybe smart he cannot scheme in a long run right now.
And I will be mentioning the past because to show you why Kylo is so perfect on the present time. It is not just his subordinates but also his chara.
If you all have any doubts, confusion or need to discuss any theories please ask me without any hesitation.)
