Kapitel 97: CHAPTER 97

A tall and handsome white-haired man walked through the gates of Heaven Dou city wearing flowing white robes, looking very noble. His presence called for a lot of attention from the bystanders even though he wasn't actually even trying to call attention to himself, but his looks and noble aura made sure he stood out even in a place as crowded as Heaven Dou city.

Houryu paid them no attention as he wasn't especially shocked that his presence called attention, because a face as handsome as his and with the flowing aura of power that showed off naturally from him even without him trying, called enough attention to his presence. Naturally, as a mystical beast, he relished the attention, even though it made all the preparations he had made to blend in, worthless.

Houryu calmly walked through the town, taking himself on a little tour of the city until he stopped in front of a magnificent building which happened to be Heaven Dou city's famous Auction House.

At least that's what was carved elaborately on a part of the building, so Houryu didn't need to be a genius to figure that out, also with the constant movement around the place, it seemed like they were preparing for some big event.

'Since it's an auction, they may have some pretty interesting stuff… I'm just not sure if they have what I want, but it should be worth checking out,' Houryu thought as he patted Sylvia's head unconsciously.

'...Now, how do I get in…?' He wondered as he obviously couldn't storm in and just steal all the things to be sold… actually he could, but he doesn't even know what he was looking for, and also the auction sounds like it could be fun.

'This kind of event would probably use things like invitations or something like that… but where do I find one,' Houryu turned away from the auction house and continued his tour as he thought out his next move.

'All this thinking is making me hungry…' Houryu turned to a man just walking past him and put a hand on his shoulder to stop him before asking him, "Hey, pal… where's the best restaurant in this city."

The man was a bit shocked by Houryu abruptly stopping him, but looking at his noble presence, he quickly decided not to act roughly and answered Houryu politely, "You're probably looking for the Cloud 9ine restaurant."

"I'm sorry, what!?" Houryu asked a bit confused at the restaurant's name.

"The Cloud 9ine restaurant," the man repeated.

"Or you could try the "Way to the 69" restaurant, they're also one of the best restaurants in the city," he continued.

"Brooo… I asked for restaurant names, not brothel names…" Houryu replied with a strained smile on his face as he wondered what was wrong with the people in this place to be naming their restaurants weirdly. He wanted to eat food, not pu**y.

"Is there any other nice restaurant in this place, apart from those two," He asked hopefully?

"Well, you could try the "Men of Culture Tower," The man replied, wondering what was wrong with this tourist, who looked at him strangely as if he had said something wrong.

"... Men of Culture wha…!" Houryu facepalmed,

"Ugh, whatever… so where is it?" Houryu begrudgingly asked.

The man gave him directions to the *cringe* "Men of Culture Tower" and Houryu set off in the direction that he was pointed to.

Houryu finally arrived in front of a lavish looking 7 storey building with the words "Men of Culture Tower" designed elaborately on the building's front view. Without wasting any time, he walked into the building and looked around at the people that were eating and drinking and chatting a bit noisily, ruining what would otherwise be a serene environment.

Houryu's presence at the door had called attention to himself as the surroundings quietened down as the customers eating turned their eyes to see the handsome, noble looking man at the door. Houryu ignored their looks as he looked for the stairs.

'In places like this, the higher the floor level, the better the customer service and thus… the better the food…!' Houryu finally noticed the stairs and began walking towards them, not giving a second look at his surroundings.

As he approached the stairs, the two guards who stood guarding the entrance of the staircase, blocked the stairs pathway and asked,

"May we see your "NSFW Insignia", esteemed guest?" they said together in perfect sync.

"NSFW Insiginia huh?" Houryu muttered with a raised eyebrow, even though he didn't know that was, but he put his hand into his robes as if he wanted to pull something out and then quickly activated his sharingan to use a genjutsu to access the memories of the guards and quickly found out what the NSFW insignia was.

It was used as a pass for the special visitors who came to the Men of Culture Tower to access the higher floor levels of the building. It denoted power and status in this place and not just anyone could get to have it as it was especially given out to special people and the higher the level of the insignia, the rarer it was given out.

Houryu managed to find a picture of the highest level NSFW insignia, quickly as someone had come here today with such an insignia. Houryu used his left eye's mangekyou ability to recreate the insignia, creating a perfect photocopy of the insignia he saw.

"Here…" Houryu brought out the insignia he just created and threw it at the guard. The guard caught it and then looked at it, his eyes widening immediately, as he looked at the insignia,

"This!!!"

"Please, esteemed guest, you can head to the highest floor of the tower. We hope you enjoy our services," The guards said and bowed, again in perfect sync with each other's movements.

Houryu took back the insignia and walked past him, ignoring the building commotion that began after he had showed his insignia.

"That's the second highest level insignia in the last hour and there were even many other high-level insignia that have popped up today…" a man sitting at one of the tables muttered as he watched Houryu walking up the stairs.

"What's even going on…? Why are all these big shots appearing one after the other?" Another man asked, quite bewildered at the situation.

"Didn't you know? What type of cave do you even live in to not even know that the Heaven Dou Auction House is having their annual auction tomorrow and there will be many very interesting things to be put on auction… and we all know that an auction like that attracts attention from all sorts of people…" a blonde woman replied, half covering her face with her fan.

"The bigshots are hardly the problem…" another man with a deep scar across his face muttered as he put a glass of wine to his mouth.
