Invisible Security Guard-Chapter 2268 - 2287: Trouble Arrives

Two hours later, the eyes of the Flame Gate Lord, Raul Graves, also emitted eerie red light. Like Soren Simon, he was controlled by the Right Saint and had practiced the Asura Secret Method.

After practicing the Asura Secret Method, one truly becomes a demon.

The Simon family and Raul are already demons.

At the same time, Yusuf Zuck emerged from seclusion ten days before Soren Simon’s wedding.

This session, though only twenty days, has unexpectedly elevated his state to the Eternal Life Fourth Stage, even though he remains in the first layer of the Sun God realm.

"Ayden Acme has been gone for almost twenty days? I wonder where he’s gone?" As soon as Yusuf Zuck emerged, he heard Uncle Yi say Ayden Acme had left twenty days ago.

"Son-in-law, perhaps Mr. Ayden sensed something was amiss and thought it dangerous to stay, so he deliberately fled!" Moses Ray chuckled.

"No, he’s more complex than he appears." Yusuf Zuck waved his hand. Though Ayden’s cultivation level was weak, he was the cleverest person in the world. Yusuf Zuck knew he wouldn’t flee without reason; surely something had held him up.

"Son-in-law, I heard Raul Graves arrived in Nine Tripod City a few days ago, yet he hasn’t troubled us. I wonder why."

"Oh? Raul Graves is here?" Yusuf Zuck raised an eyebrow, "Good timing. I was just about to inquire about the talking stone." Yusuf planned to investigate at night.

"Is there anything else?" Yusuf Zuck asked again.

"Today is the auction, and many treasures are said to be up for bids. We’ve been invited; since you weren’t out of seclusion, I didn’t decide whether to attend!" Moses Ray said, handing over an invitation ticket.

"Hm..." Yusuf Zuck contemplated, "Let’s go. It’s better than doing nothing, and I might find something useful to enhance my cultivation!"

Yusuf Zuck knew a large auction would feature extraordinary treasures, as it was held in the realm of Patrick Ruiz, surrounded by Immortals and boasting Supreme Treasures. He wanted to try his luck, hoping to find something to unlock the Purple Blood Beads, or at least find a Supreme Yang Treasure to strengthen his Sun God cultivation level.

So instead of idling, why not take a look?

"Uncle Yi, you stay behind with Black Seven and the Golden Protectors. I’ll go with Old Guo." After saying this, Yusuf Zuck picked up the invitation and left.

As the wedding day approached, Nine Tripod City became bustling. The streets and alleys were crowded, especially with merchants and vendors from afar.

Every street was filled with people carrying bags or baskets, selling their rare and exotic wares.

Nine Tripod City turned into a grand marketplace with a huge gathering of sellers and buyers.

Here and there, groups of young nobles mingled with sword-wielding maidens like icy snow, and elderly men with canes and hefty men riding divine steeds roamed the streets!

In short, Nine Tripod City was like New Year’s, drawing not only heroes but groups of demons and brigands too.

It became a chaotic mix of dragons and snakes.

"Old Guo, you’re the Divine Doctor, you should recognize things brimming with yang energy? If you see anything, buy it for me!" Yusuf Zuck instructed as they walked.

"Heh, since Master cultivates the Sun God skill, I indeed gathered some during these days." With that, Old Guo handed over a ring!

Yusuf Zuck accepted the ring and nodded, "Thoughtful indeed!"

"Assisting Master is my duty!" Old Guo replied nonchalantly.

"Oh, I haven’t taught you any medical skills. Really, I have nothing to teach you; our master-disciple bond is just titular, my medical skills are not on par with yours, I just join the excitement." Yusuf Zuck waved his hand; though Old Guo had followed him for quite some time, he hadn’t taught him anything.

"Following Master for cultivation is itself a blessing and fortune; there’s no need for deliberate instruction," Old Guo was open-minded and not disheartened.

"Haha, alright, when we return, I’ll give you a drop of the Dew of Creation; I treated my mother-in-law with it, you can research it."

"Thank you, Master, thank you!" Old Guo became instantly thrilled, as he had been waiting for this.

Yusuf Zuck waved his hand again, and the two continued to walk.

However, as they walked, Old Guo hurried forward suddenly and stopped at a street vendor, grabbing a black stone as long as an arm, its top resembling a turtle’s head, and the whole long stone resembling a man’s certain thing!

Yusuf Zuck blinked. What toy was this noble lady using? What did Old Guo mean by this, and who was he giving it to?

"Master, Master, it’s an Upraising Stone, an Upraising Stone, and it’s nearly a meter long, it must have seasoned for at least a hundred billion years!" Old Guo exclaimed excitedly.

"Upraising Stone? It really looks like it, what’s the deal with this?" Yusuf Zuck dared not touch it, as it was unseemly.

"This is an ultimate yang treasure, typically growing in sun-rich places or on sun stars, absorbing yang heat to nourish it day and night, filled with sun star essence. The Upraising Stone with a hundred billion-year seasoning has more energy than ten regular sun stars; it’s a Supreme Yang Treasure. A woman touches it and gets drained; a man touches it, and he stays vigorous for three months."

"Damn, such a treasure?" Yusuf Zuck exclaimed in shock, touching it and lasting three months, that’s insanely perverse!

"Master, you have no idea; it grows a few inches every ten billion years, resembling... well, you know, just an arm’s length every hundred billion years."

"Buy it, buy it, we can’t let anyone else have this." Yusuf Zuck nodded repeatedly, signaling Old Guo to hold it carefully lest it be dropped.

Of course, their conversation was transmitted through Divine Consciousness, so the vendor heard nothing!

"Ten thousand Sin Stones, it’s mine!" Old Guo, imposing as ever, threw down ten thousand Sin Stones, without haggling or allowing the vendor to counter.

However, just as the vendor collected the Sin Stones with delight, a discordant voice rang from not far away, "Wait, I offer twenty thousand."

"Hmm?" Yusuf Zuck and Old Guo simultaneously turned towards the voice, and Old Guo instinctively stepped back, guarding in front of Yusuf Zuck!

Yusuf Zuck peered beyond the newcomer, recognizing the man behind him—it was Bi Liu from the Flame Gate!

Following the person ahead, it was easy to infer the identity of the newcomer—it was the Flame Gate Lord, Raul Graves!

"Great, great, twenty thousand, yeah, it’s agreed, twenty thousand." The vendor was practically swooning with excitement; he had picked this up, believing it worthless, and now two people were fighting over it, the more they fought, the more he earned!

Old Guo, magician-like, flipped his wrist, stowing the Upraising Stone. He respectfully said to Yusuf Zuck, "Son-in-law, let’s go!" He offered no reply to the bid or raised the price because the vendor had already accepted his Sin Stones, implying the deal was his, and anyone raising the price would have to seek his approval first!

"What? Didn’t you hear me?" Raul Graves demanded in a deep voice.
