And today, Frank was seeing it in action with his own eyes.


    "300 million."


    A youth dressed casually raised his paddle just then.


    For some reason, the entire auction hall soon turned silent at his call.


    Scratching his head nonchntly, Tavis Holt grinned. "That Hyperion Root belongs to Hundred Bane


    Sect. Anyone who bids against me shall bebeled an enemy of my sect... and I''m sure everyone


    knows what happens after?"


    As Tavis looked around at those around him, everyone who met his gaze were grimacing but backed


    out of the bid nheless.


    No one would ever mess with the ruthless savages of Hundred Bane Sect.


    There was no line they would not cross. Anyone who made an enemy of them—even unknowingly—


    would be poisoned with a variety of oddities in each instance, and they did it without ever being caught.

    Naturally, there was also variety to the condition of the corpse left behind, each more creepy than the


    last: Some would melt instantly into a puddle of pus, while others screamed in agony for days before


    dying.


    That was why Hundred Bane Sect was that one sect no one would try to cross—what was more


    important, one''s life or some trinket?


    And yet, the woman sitting beside Frank turned toward Tavis and snorted. "Hah! Hundred Bane Sect


    has the balls to mess with me? 500 million!"


    She appeared so haughty just then that it almost appeared as if she did not worry about them!


    "Huh?!" Tavis straightened, scowling as he red at the woman from afar. "Hey, girl—you''re asking for


    it by messing with Hundred Bane Sect!"


    The woman simply sneered as she nced at him. "You should know your ce—you''re the one


    asking for it. I am Sif Lionheart of Morhen!"


    "What?! Sif Lionheart?!"


    The auction hall erupted in an uproar right then—the people here had certainly heard of Sif!


    She was the youngest heiress of the Lionheart family and Titus Lionheart''s stepsister who managed


    their Norsedam branch.


    She held so much authority even the mayor of Norsedam answered to her.


    With her power, was she just anyone to be messed with?


    Even if the Hundred Bane Sect had killed countless people, they would still tread carefully around the


    Lionhearts, as they were under the Volsung Sect''s protection.


    Hence, while the crowd was shocked to hear Sif''s name, Tavis was left scowling and silenced.
