All Novel Full Chapter 58 - Weak
"Miss, we have an update" stated a man respectfully to the Auction House Master.
The Auction House Master sat at her desk comfortably and was interested in what her subordinate had to say.
"We have found an ID Card for an apartment in the Auction Hall where the battle took place and nobody other than us and the Wolf Fang Gang were down at the hall. Do you think this could be the mysterious man who helped us" informed her the man as he passed over to her Adam's card.
The entire time since the battle, the Auction House Master was looking into who the mysterious man was.
She went through any available footage, that was salvaged from what the Wolf Fang Gang had destroyed, hoping that she could draw him to her side, as he wasn't powerful enough to join the larger organisations that wouldn't want mere lower ranks, and would be a big help to her.
There was no image on the card and all it had on it was the name 'Adam' and a room number.
"I will look into this personally, while I will leave you to repair the Auction House. You must begin repairs immediately and can use 30% of our reserves to fix and improve our building" ordered the Auction House Master.
"Yes miss, however, is it safe for you to approach this mysterious man alone," asked the man respectfully.
"Worry about your own task and the mysterious man is interesting, even though he is at most only a 3rd Rank Novice. He seems to have animals of some sort with him as some of the deceased Wolf Fang Gang members had claw marks and bite marks" stated the Auction House Master as she wore her jacket and prepared to leave.
The building was opened up once again, but wouldn't be open to the public for a long time, until the Auction House Master was satisfied with the Auction House's strength.
Her plans were to reinforce the building security and bring in more powerful cultivators. She knew she would only be able to get lower ranked Novic Cultivators, which was why she was interested in the mysterious man who seemed to have strong animals with him.
She left the Auction House in her jacket and had changed out of her fancy clothes, into more casual clothing.
From her appearance, she seemed normal and nobody would have thought that she was an Auction House Master that was quite wealthy and powerful in Brooklyn.
However, her Auction House although quite wealthy, as they would gain a small percentage of the sale price, in terms of power, it was quite low and could be compared to some small gangs that had Novice cultivators within it, like the Wolf Fang Gang.
Nobody within her organisation surpassed the 3rd Rank, and in the grand scheme of things, were not powerful.
Their weakness was shown by a small gang, with few low ranked Novice Cultivators, being able to almost kill them all and steal their wealth.
Knowing that, the Auction House Master was looking for strong allies that would uplift her organisation, so that it was no longer only an auction for small gangs and wealthy businesses, but for wealthier, stronger and more powerful people that were in Brooklyn.
Which led her to the mysterious man who was the only cultivator she had seen, that from what she knew wasn't in an organisation.
Not wanting to stick out, she took a taxi and instructed it to head to the address that she had managed to find online and matched the ID Card that was found in the Auction Hall.
It was already 8 in the morning and Adam had slept well in his comfortable bed after the eventful day he had, had the day before.
Waking up he tied up his slick black hair, that was growing quite quickly, into a small bun and washed his face.
He then went to his kitchen and searched his fridge for something to eat.
Sarah hadn't been in the apartment for 2 days so the fridge was quite empty, but luckily there were still some eggs.
Adam cooked 6 eggs, knowing that his appetite was much larger now, and after eating them all by themselves, sat on his sofa to relax for a while.
He had been either researching or hunting most of the time and didn't have much time to rest that would allow him to clear his mind.
[System could you explain to me the ranking system that is used in reality and compare it to the levelling system that is used by you] asked Adam.
{The host is currently at the Mortal Rank, which is known as in reality a Novice. Every 10 LVLs in the system, correspond to one rank. The Ranks go up to Rank 9, then the cultivators break through to the next Rank, while for the host it goes up until LVL 100, then the host breaks through.
So currently the host is a Rank 1 Novice Cultivator, but the host can rival most Rank 2 Novice Cultivators and may even be able to defeat a Rank 3 Novice Cultivator with your full strength} explained the system.
Adam was slightly let down by him only being a Rank 1 Novice, that was the lowest rank a cultivator could be, but at the same time, he was excited to come across much more powerful cultivators in the future and surpass the Novice Rank to the next Rank.
It had made him realise just how weak he was and that the small amount of strength that he had gained wasn't enough for him to be comfortable and complacent.
"I need to be productive," he said to himself encouragingly, as he jumped up from the sofa.
Just as Adam had gotten up to head to his room and do some research or find something productive to do, there was a knock on his door.
[It must be Cole or Sarah] assumed Adam as he calmed his mind and began to think of a story he would tell them about how he had managed to get away.
But as soon as he opened the door he was shocked by who he saw.
It was the woman that he recognised from the Aution House.
