Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 152 Market tour II

He grabbed the bead and looked at the dark Alley.

"I know you would have been alarmed the moment I took out the bead so come out already!"

No one answered. The alley was quiet but Nine scoffed.

"Are you denying my orders?"

He said in an angry tone. His usual carefree and mischievous nature was nowhere to be seen.

After he shouted a shadow emerged from the alley. The shadow approached Nine before it turned into a middle-aged man.

The man had black hair and light blue eyes. His skin was glistening with a faint blue hue and he was wearing a black coat.

Nine gazed at him and frowned.

"What are you doing here? Last I remember you were assigned to take care of those dam creatures."

The man was obviously displeased when Nine asked him to come out. He half-heartedly bowed and looked at Nine with emotionless eyes.

"Young prince, the Queen assigned me to come here to find out everything about the black-haired boy who was with you a while ago. His name is Kyle, I wanted to enter the Academy but even after trying for a while, I wasn\'t able to. In the end, I decided to hide inside the city to wait for the youth to come out willingly."

Nine frowns deepened as he coldly stared at the man.

"Why do you want to know about Kyle?"

The black-haired man became irritated because he was just doing his job. He didn\'t want to answer but because Nine\'s status was higher he replied with an annoyed tone.

"The rumors about him having an (SSS+)-Rank beast had already spread in each Continent but because it\'s just rumored, the Queen asked me to confirm the authenticity of the rumors."

"Also, I am not alone who is keeping an eye on that Kid. I can sense a lot of powerful auras following behind him the moment he came out from the academy but because the Principal is back at the Academy that\'s why no one is attacking him mindlessly."

Nine facial expressions darkened. He clenched his fists. Of course, he knew about Bia and what happened when Kyle came out from the Tower. He just didn\'t expect that his mother would take an interest in Bia.

She always stayed away from these types of matters even Alec and Jian (SSS+)-Rank talent didn\'t pique her interest.

After thinking for a while, Nine looked at the man with a deep expression.

"You don\'t need to follow behind him anymore. Tell my mother to stay away from this matter. Kyle is my friend. I don\'t want my people to hurt him."

The man frowned visibly. He wanted to protest but Nine stared at him with his golden eyes.

"It\'s the second time you tried to deny my orders! I think you have forgotten after the Queen and the future Queen my status is the highest!"

Nine yelled loudly with a cold gaze. It had been a long time since he saw his mother but he knew even though he left his home, his position couldn\'t be snatched.

The man looked at Nine Golden Eyes and instantly fell to his knees. Those eyes were the symbol of the unique power that only a few can inherit. That\'s why, according to the rules he can\'t deny Nine orders.

Now he had no choice but to report everything back and wait for the Queen\'s next orders.

"I apologize for my rudeness. I will do as you wish."

Nine gazed at the kneeling man. His expression was cold when he turned around to leave but suddenly he remembered something.

He hurriedly stopped the man who was leaving.

"Wait!"

The man stopped in his tracks and looked back at Nine who walked toward him with a smile that he hadn\'t seen before.

"Well, do you have mana stones?"

The man frowned but he nodded.

Nine eyes lit up. He had a bad feeling that he would lose the bet he made with Kyle. He was reluctant to give his \'hard-earned\' mana stones to Kyle!

"Give them to me."

The man frowned deepened but he gazed at Nine.

\'I think it\'s okay to give away some.\'

"How much do you need?

"I don\'t need much... Just 50,000 is enough."

The man blinked his eyes, thinking maybe he heard it wrongly.

"How much?"

"50,000"

The man was dazed when he heard the amount again.

\'Damnit! Mana stones are precious I only acquired some recently now he wants 50,000!\'

He cursed inwardly but Nine stared at him with a smile. He was waiting for him to cough out the mana stones.

With a pained expression, the man gave Nine all the mana stones he had.

Nine was displeased because he only received 34,000 mana stones.

"Tsk you are useless just leave already."

After taking all the mana stones from the man he turned around and hurriedly left.

The man could only stare at his fading image with a painful expression.

\'It\'s not fair!\'

.....

After leaving Alley Nine hurriedly went to the restaurant where the others were present. He walked inside the restaurant and after looking around he spotted the trio sitting in a corner.

He hurriedly approached them and threw his arm at Kyle\'s shoulder.

"What are we eating!"

Alec looked at Nine.

"You are back at the exact time when the food arrived!"

Nine chuckled and sat beside Kyle who looked at him with a meaningful smile.

"Huh?"

His gaze landed at Carcel who was also staring at him with a smile. After seeing their expression and how they were pointing at Alec who was eating, Nine smirked with a knowing \'Oh\'.

\'So they want to dine and dash. hehe. It\'s fun.\'

After everyone was done eating, Kyle suddenly stood up and left with an excuse that he was feeling stuffed and wanted to take some fresh air.

After Kyle, Carcel suddenly said he was also feeling stuffy and left Alec and Nine alone.

Nine gazed at Carcel back and stood up.

"I will be back."

He left with a grin.

Alec was left alone. He frowned because even after waiting for a while no one returned.

The old lady approached him and handed him a long bill.

\'Where are they?\'

Alec became anxious when he saw the bill. It was too expensive!

He looked outside but after seeing no one he knew he was ditched! In the end, he paid the bill will a bitter expression.

\'Damn it! You three just wait I will take revenge!\'
