Chapitre 124: Eldritch ritual

[Top floor, Auction House, Virtual World, Mythosia]

Following Rain's departure, chaos ensued in the auction hall for a short period.

"Who was that?" Eva asked Ken, curious about the stranger she had just witnessed.

"No idea," Ken shrugged in response, unsure of the man's identity or why he had greeted him.

"He must have recognised from you somewhere," Noah said. 

"Maybe he is fan of yours?" Daphne added.

"Or maybe he just wanted to be friends?" Amy chimed in. 

"One thing's for sure, though," James interjected, "that guy is hella loaded. Did you see how much he spent on those scrolls?" He waved his hands in air enthusiastically.

Ken agreed, still processing the unexpected encounter. He couldn't shake the feeling that he had met someone important, someone who could change his life. "He said we'd meet again. Does that mean he knows who I am?" Ken wondered aloud.
