Lord of the Truth

"Yawn~ Theo, I'm going out for a walk, you're obviously free since you've been on your knees all this time, come with me," Robin said and walked out directly, Theo soon caught up and walked behind him like his shadow.

Theo guessed that Robin is visiting his favorite restaurant to celebrate as usual, only now that he had read and mastered Robin's technique did he know how hard it was to make it... actually a nice meal after making every earth-shattering technique sounds unfair for him.

Or maybe he would go to the slave platforms to find another lucky man to support his little special forces! when Robin revealed what he was planning for them, he became sure that he wouldn't stop at just the three of them.

But he was surprised that they took a different turn this time, after walking a few minutes more, Theo found himself in front of a huge store with a banner says *pills corner* on it, but the door was closed.

"Hm?" Robin found this very strange. A pill store this grand shouldn't be closed in broad daylight! but when he looked around he found that most of the nearby grand stores were closed as well. "What's going on here?"

"Good morning uncle, why are there many stores closed up today?" Robin went to one of the small shops and asked the owner

"Good morning young man, don't you know? Today is when the Great Bradley Auction takes place, all the merchants of the Duchy must go there every year to try to win something that distinguishes their business, and all the centers of power also go in hope that they may find something to increase their power.. It's considered the largest gathering of the Duchy's symbols!" The old man said with a smile

"Auction?...Do you know where it is located?"

"Yes, it is in the nearest street to the Ducal Palace, when you arrive you will be able to identify it at once."

"Thank you!" Robin thanked him and turned towards his new destination

-----------------

In front of a huge, luxurious building, Robin stood staring at it, guards were all around it, most of them were in the 12th level and one of them was at the 15th level, it was clear that they were not slaves but all elite soldiers

Wealthy merchants, mighty powerhouses, and those with high status still flocking to the building with extravagant outfits and ravishing women in their arms... This was definitely the auction site.

Robin quietly walked in behind them until a guard blocked him, "Stop! Where do you think you're going?"

"Inside the auction house, of course." Robin smiled,

The guard looked at him from top to bottom and found that he's a fourteen-year-old and at the sixth level, this is a little above average for the sons of nobles, so he softened his tone a bit, "We can't let everyone in because the places are limited, but if you have an invitation or a recommendation, I will let you in."

"Recommendation... is lady Mila Bradley inside?"

The guard was shocked by the question, "Yes...?"

"Tell her Robin Burton would like to come in, I trust she'll allow it."

The guard narrowed his eyes and looked at the strangely smiling teenager, "I hope you know what you're doing, or else..." Then he called for another guard, repeated the message for him, and sent him to get lady Mila's opinion.

It wasn't long before the guard came out and said with a slight bow, "lady Mila invites you to her private room at the upper class."

the guard who had stopped Robin also bowed and slipped out of his way quickly.

The building from the inside was even more luxurious than the outside, it was a huge hall like a theater filled with luxurious chairs, at the upper section, there are private closed rooms with just a small window in every room overlooking the hall.

After a minute of walking, Robin was led to one of those rooms, where he found Mila sitting by the window looking at the hall, even after entering the room she did not turn around, she was still fixing her eyes at the hall as she said, "I didn't think a strange creature like you would attend such events."

"Haha you're right, I happened to choose today to go to a store but I heard that the owner is here, so I came to see what's going on~" Robin smiled and went to sit next to Mila and then asked, "What's up with Caesar?"

"Heh~ Ask your family, why do you think I'll have the answer to this question?" Mila snorted,

"If you don't follow the movements of someone as important as Caesar, you would be a fool, and I don't like to get involved with fools."

"You..!! Why are you talking to me without fear? Don't you how strong I am?" Mila looked at him angrily, who else in the duchy, no.. in the whole kingdom could talk to her like that?

"Hehe I can randomly pick someone from the streets and make him stronger than you, giving enough time of course... do you believe it?" Robin shrugged

".....at least I'm still a few months older than you, try to respect me more!" it was an extremely arrogant statement, to say the least, but she couldn't find a response to his words,

Caesar was the simplest example that he wasn't joking...

Secondly, he made that amazing -never before seen- fire talisman, and magically regained his teenage body, so she can no longer deal with him as someone inferior to her just because he is weaker.

"Hey! we're both approaching 150 years old, what difference a few months will make? Just answer my question." Robin chuckled.

"Don't speak like i'am an old hag! 150 years is still very young in the cultivation world. anyway... there is no need to worry about Caesar, he was received in the Burton family as heroes are received, a huge banquet was held in Jura City, attended by all the available descendants of the Burtons to get to know their new family member,

It was a long night, especially when the patriarch announced that Caesar is your adopted son and that you trained him, The whole banquet was in a state of astonishment when they heard your name before a wave of earth-shattering cheering came out of every one of them as if they had already became a duke family! Hehe, you should have seen this..

Some of them thanked their God after making sure that Caesar is closely related to them and will fight in their name even if he does not have the blood of the family, some old men shouted that only a genius like Robin could train someone like Caesar, and young people who did not witness your era started asking about you, but the elders ignored your *running away* part and told them that you were the number one genius in the whole kingdom in your time and that you left in order to research the truth of the universe, and that you trained Caesar for the benefit of the family.

All in all, your kid is being treated like a gem, and your name has regained its prestige within the family.. after you were a runaway bastard, you became a legendary figure."
