    Toneville.”


    The chauffeur started driving Barry back to Toneville.


    Faron and Wilbur returned to Seke Ind, continuing their drinking session.


    One whole bottleter, Faron’s face was flushed as he said, “Dude, something fun will happen in


    Toneville real soon. Wanna Co?”


    “What’s so fun about Toneville?” Wilbur papped a nugget into his mouth.


    Faron smirked “I remember you said that you were looking for antiques that wouldst forever, didn’t


    you?”


    “Yes, I did.”


    Faron leaned closer into Wilbur’s car. “There’s going to be an underground auction in Toneville in two


    days. I was told it’s going to be good.”


    “How good could stuff at an auction be?” Wilbur was unimpressed.


    Faron said, “You can’t be too sure about that. Who knows? You might even find some things that even


    the national museum


    doesn’t know about.”

    “Oh, really?” Wilbur asked,


    Faron nodded, “Yup.”


    Wilbur fell silent for a while before saying “It’s illegal. Aren’t you going to do anything about it?”


    “What can I do, man?” Faron shrugged. “It’s all organized under a legal front. We wouldn’t be able to


    get anything even if weunched an investigation. Besides, anyone who can hold an auction like this


    would probably be someone with significant influence in the system. Surely you know that better than


    me.”


    Wilbur chuckled. Yes, not everything was as easy to control as it seemed.


    “Well, I don’t mind taking a trip if it really is as good as you make it out to be,” Wilbur said.


    Faron smiled. “I’ll give you Ted Dominic’s contact. Call him in two nights and he’ll take you there.”


    “I need to call someone for this?” Wilbur asked.


    “Of course. An illegal auction like this isn’t open to just anyone. Ted’s a pretty well-known broker around


    these parts, specializing in getting people ess to events like this. He’s got a pretty impressive social


    network.


    “Alright, then. I’ll take a trip there. I just might find something useful.”


    Wilbur was on the lookout for a contribution to get Faye a Marrow Cleansing Pill Despite finding


    something worth contributing not bring guaranteed, it was still worth trying his luck


    Besides, Faron and Elsa were both cultivators now. Faye was the only one left and it was honestly a


    little unfair.


    The two men drank untilte in the night, chatting about the auction. Finally, Faye returned home


    looking rather tired.


    She sighed at the sight of the two tipsy men. “You sure look like you’re having fun. I’m about to pass


    out from the exhaustion.


    “Is everything alright?” Wilbur asked.


    Faye sat down, pouring herself a ss. She took a sip, then let out a long sigh before saying,


    “Everything ended perfectly. I was even going to ask Sammy to lunch tomorrow so we could all get


    together, but she had to leave right after to catch her next performance.”


    “I can’t believe these washed-up celebrities are still busy,” Faron chuckled.


    Wilbur asked, “Did she use to be really big?”


    “Yeah, bro. Sammy blew up internationally five years ago with just one song, but she’s been dropping


    in poprity ever since for some reason. She’s still got a lot of fans, though,” Faron said.


    Wilbur nodded. Faye finished her drink and said, “I’m spent, I’m going to bed. You two should get some


    rest too.”


    “Right. I’m going to do just that. Goodnight,” Faron said.


    Faye and Earon left, so Wilbur went to bed as well. ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    The next afternoon, Wilbur woke up and packed a small travel bag. Seeing as Faron had still not sent


    him Ted’s mumber,


    Wilbur headed to Faron’s ruoin.


    Farun was snoring loudly on the living room floor. It was clear that he had a little too much to drink the


    previous night.


    Wilbur huffed, kicking Faron’s bottom. “Wake the f*ck up. Do you know what time it is?”


    Faron rubbed his bottom as he opened his eyes blearily. He nced at his watch and seemed to sober


    up.


    “Forget it. I’m sk ipping work today.” Farony back down, prepared to go right back to sleep.


    Wilbur red at him, aiming another kick at his bottom. “Are you serious? Do you remember what you


    said to mest night?”

    “What is it, bra?” Faren groaned in frustration.


    Wilbur’s expression darkened. “The auction. Ted Dominic. You were supposed to send me his number.


    Do you remember now?


    Faron furrowed his brows before smacking himself on the forehead. “Oh my f*cking g od! I cked


    out.”


    He whipped out his phone at once and sent a number to Wilbur, “Don’t mention me once you’re there,


    bro.”


    “Of course, You’re Mister Campbell, aren’t you? Exclusive man.” Wilbur turned to leave after that.


    Faron chuckled awkwardly, climbing onto the couch and falling back to sleep.


    Wilbur got into his car and drove over Toneville at once.


    Tuneville was a second-ss city in Kardun Province, which was around a five hour drive from


    Seechertown.


    It was a little past three in the afternoon when Wilbur arrived.


    He took out his phone and booked himself a room at one of the top hotels around him, then drove over


    there.


    “The Starry Hotel,” Wilbur muttered as he read the sign on the building. He then went inside to get his


    keycard to his room.


    It was a luxuriously decorated five-star hotel, and the cost for a night there was not cheap.
