Emily Monroe was in a hurry as she received a piece of news from an anonymous source.
‘ I hope it’s true. If I manage to secure the lost book of High Enochian Magik, It will be tremendous.’
As Emily arrived at the designated cafe, he saw a young man waving his hands.
” Are you Emily Watson? I am glad you are on time. I am Gary, Gary Watson. I was the one who messaged you.”
” Where did you even get my contact?” Emily frowned lightly.
” It was easy. Social media?” Gary laughed lightly. ” Anyway, Please sit down, we have a lot to talk about.”
” Do we?” Emily frowned as she took the seat. ” I hope you understand what you are t walking about.”
” Yes, I know. Only I have this information.” Gary grinned. ” But the thing is, How much are you willing to pay me?”
” Well, You said it’s only a fragment. Not to mention, There is no credibility in your words.” Emily spoke in a light voice. ” How much are you expecting?”
” Miss Emily, Your background is pretty large. I believe such sum would be a pocket change for you.” Garry spoke with a smile. ” How about a hundred grands?”
” A hundred thousand dollars?” Emily frowned slightly. ” That’s not a small sum you are asking, are you?”
” Uhh, I believe I can go lower…But not less than seventy!” Gary argued.
Looking at Gary’s attitude, Emily gave a stifling laugh. ‘ Wow, He is kinda…cute?’

” Ahem, I am not here to negotiate. A hundred grand…is fine for me. But I will only give it to you if the information is true.”
” Of course, I will take the responsibility for it.” Gary spoke instantly.
” Then come with me? If you are so sure, you should have no problem coming with me, yes?”
” Haha, Why not? But only if you ensure my safety.” Gary mused. ” I mean, the security isn’t that much, but it would be best if we go prepared.”
” Fine, So where is the location?”
” Downtown Black Market, Underground of Viz Motel.” Gary replied.
” Fine, Let’s go?”
” Ahh, Since we are here and I heard this place’s cookies are good, can I have some?” Gary chuckled.
” Ugh, Fine…But eat quickly.” Emily realized she was the one paying here. But she didn’t mind much.

Meanwhile…
Jun Tianyun already reached the downtown in his car. He long heard the conversation of Emily and Gary by tapping their phones.
” Viz Motel, looks like here.” Jun Tianyun looked at the old worn out building and walked inside.
” Welcome, How can I help you?”
The receptionist was playing on her phone as she paid no attention to Jun Tianyun.
” May I speak to your manager?”
” Do you have any appointment?” The lady raised her brow and looked at Jun Tianyun.
Although he was wearing a face mask, Jun Tianyun’s build and eyes were captivating enough.
” Well, Just tell him I got something that’s going to make him change his show stopper.”
The lady was stunned for a moment before picking up the landline and calling to someone.
Not long after, two bodyguards came and escorted Jun Tianyun to the back of the building.
After thorough checking, Jun Tianyun walked into a room, where he saw a person sitting on a sofa, being attended by a busty latina.
” Well, I guess Mr. V is enjoying his time before the auction?”
” You seem to know me.” V chuckled. ” Then I hope what you brought to me is same as your claiming.”
Jun Tianyun chuckled he tapped on the table. ” Indeed, It would be, However, I have a condition. I want to see your auction catalogue. And exchange one thing with my treasure.”
” Hehe, Young man, pipe down. You are quite audacious.” V’s eyes narrowed as he waved his hands, making the woman paused.
” You think our mystery auction is some kind of child’s play? That we would send out flyers of our auctioned treasures?”
” Oh believe me, It would be worth it.” Jun Tianyun chuckled as he pulled out a box from his coat.
V’s eyes narrowed as he glared at his bodyguards. ” What? You said he brought nothing? Did he brought that by showing up in his ass?!”
The bodyguards were also stunned when they saw such a big box. Earlier when they checked, they found nothing on Jun Tianyun at all!
” Just some paltry tricks. No need to yell at them.” Jun Tianyun slid the box onto the table.
When V opened the box, the entire room was filled with crimson brilliance. A heatwave came out of the box, making everyone uncomfortably warm instantly.
” Wh-What’s this treasure?” V couldn’t help but gasp as he slowly took out a piece of stone from the box. ” An…An Elemental stone?”
” A fire elemental stone. I believe with this size, it’s enough to lure a mage to pay you a hefty sum, yes?”
” This…This is true.” V mumbled as his gaze narrowed, looking at Jun Tianyun.
” Your demand compared to this isn’t excessive. But…” His voice took an edge as he placed the box on the table. ” What if I simply take it and put a few holes in your body?”
” I believe you can try taking it.” Jun Tianyun shrugged.
Suddenly, everyone paused as they kept looking at Jun Tianyun. V eyed his bodyguards to take the elemental stone. However, none of them moved.
V felt something was wrong and tried to take the box again. But suddenly, his heart skipped a beat as he felt a tremendous pressure on his body.
He couldn’t even breathe, making his chest pain violently. And, the source of this anomaly was obvious Jun Tianyun, who was adjusting his cuffs.
” Hahaha! Customer, I was just joking.” V wiped his sweat as a smile returned on his face. ” If I dare to double cross my customers, how can I stay in this reputable business circle?”
” Anyway, Here is our catalog. Other than the final one, please feel free to pick any.”
Jun Tianyun laughed lightly and took the tablet.
‘ Hmm, Fake, Fake, And…Fake.’
‘ Eh? What’s this?’
Among the last five items, Jun Tianyun saw an old toy box. The toy box was made with pure gold and considered as an antique of a royal family.
” I will pick this one.”
” The Golden Treasure Box? That’s pretty excellent choice.” V wanted to say something else but didn’t dare to.
As they brought the box, Jun Tianyun realized the ploy.
‘ Indeed, the box has no real value other than the adornment of gold and gems. And the inside is empty too…But that what other people thinks.’
‘ Because…There is a hidden compartment beneath.’
Jun Tianyun grinned as he opened the hidden compartment and found an old grimoire inside it. He swiftly put it in his God’s Space and replaced with a similar looking grimoire.
Such swiftness easily escaped the gaze of V, who was sitting while clutching the elemental crystal box.
” I am done, You can take it back.”
” You are not taking it?” V was stunned. He couldn’t believe he received an elemental stone for free!
” Nope, It would be more useful for me if it appears in auction.” Jun Tianyun grinned as he turned to leave.

Three hours later…
” You said it’s in this golden box. But it’s empty?” Emily frowned as she flipped the box.
” Well it’s indeed empty, but for ordinary people’s eyes.” Gary grinned as he clicked on a ruby on the box.
With a click, the hidden compartment of the box opened, showing an old grimoire.
Emily’s eyes shone as she took it out. ” This…Oh my goodness, you are telling the truth!”
She hurriedly opened it, trying to take a glimpse of the lost magic language.
However, instead of High Enochian, it was written in old English.
‘ Maybe it’s a translated version?’ Emily thought inwardly as she read the first page.
” How to subdue women through sexual prowess! 10 positions for males to dominate women!”
Emily’s face darkened.
