Chapter 151: Yorknew City’s Auction Festival

On the 1st of September, the auction festival started, which attracted countless tourists.

The festival will stay for ten days, within which there are thousands of auctions all across the city.

On average, there will be more than a thousand auctions a day.

Therefore, Yorknew City will be quite lively.

In addition to regular auctions, there will be auctions held by underground gangs and various organizations from across the world.

“Hey, take me out to play!”

Early in the morning, Neon, the Daughter of Light Nostrade, came to Allan’s room and started causing a ruckus.

“Miss, my job is to protect you, not be your tour guide.”

“I don’t care. Dalzollene appointed you to protect me. So you should listen to me. Otherwise, you will lose your job.”

Unexpectedly, the little girl tried to threaten him.

Unfortunately for her, she was threatening the wrong person as Allan wasn’t afraid of losing his job.

Seeing Allan’s indifference, Neon was very angry.

“Hmph, you don’t want to take me? Then I will go out alone. If bad guys kidnap me, then let’s see how my father fires you.”

[Ding! Make A Choice]

[1: Take Neon out, do your best as a bodyguard, and protect her. Reward: Silver Treasure Chest.]

[2: Wait there to be fired. Reward: Bronze Treasure chest.]

Both rewards were treasure chests, but anyone who played games before knows that Silver was a level higher than bronze.

For the sake of the Treasure Chest, Allan reluctantly said to Neon: “Well, I will take you out to play, but I’m only responsible for protecting you, so I won’t be your guide.”

Hearing this, Neon nodded proudly.

Allan didn’t expect this young Miss to be so casual about what happened last night and actually wake up early as nothing happened.

Allan sighed as he didn’t know whether this girl was brave or just lacked a brain.

There were two attendants along with Neon accompanying her. These two were only a few years older than Neon. They were under 20 and quite outstanding.

One was called Alisha, and the other one is Alimei. They were similar in appearance, which meant they were twins.

In Allan’s eyes, those two were like Neon’s big sisters.

The twins were taking care of their wayward sister. It was that simple.

“Where are we going?” At the entrance of the Hotel, Neon crouched and asked.

“I already told you that I’m only here to protect you, not to be your tour guide. Don’t ask me where you want to go. You should decide on that yourself.” Allan said in a cold voice without any emotion.

Neon didn’t say anything when she saw Allan’s cold face.

The group of four started wandering around, shopping wherever they went with no apparent purpose.

But this is the fun of coming to play. If they had a purpose, it wouldn’t have been fun.

Neon apparently found this kind of fun and took Allan all around.

The streets of Yorknew city were full of people who are here to visit the auction.

The Auction festival attracted a lot of tourists, and amongst the most popular locations are the major auctions.

Unconsciously, Allan and his group entered a local auction.

This auction was full of tourists and vendors with various commodities.

Everything here can’t be obtained normally. The only way to get anything is through an auction.

Each product has a 24 hours auction time, during which everyone can place a bid.

Of course, each bird should be higher than the previous and so on.

When the 24 hours are over, the highest bidder will take the Item.

Unlike ordinary girls, Neon was interested in different things compared to what is provided here.

She has a quirk in which would make anyone’s scalp go numb. She loves to collect all kinds of human parts, from tissues to eyeballs to bones and mummies. She is what they call a human collector.

Obviously, this ordinary auction market cannot satisfy Neon’s quirks.

However, she is a girl, and like every girl, she has a thing for shopping.

Although the auction doesn’t have what she wants, there are quite a few weird items.

Allan, who is idle and bored, but suddenly an item grabbed his attention.

“Alisha, Alimei, I will leave for a bit.”

“Okay.”

Although both were puzzled, they still nodded.

Allan went to a shop and saw hundreds of displayed items, one of those items was a painting that caught Allan’s attention.

On the surface, it was a portrait of a woman, but Allan noticed the Aura around it when he used Gyo.

There were some possibilities for an item to have an Aura around them. The first possibility is the painter injected his Nen into the painting or unintentionally did so.

There is another possibility that this was a product of Nen in itself.

Allan took a look and noticed no one had made a bid on this Item.

In fact, in addition to the Aura around the painting, Allan could feel that it might contain some secrets.

Allan decisively bid for the painting. The lowerest price was 5,000 Jenny, but he directly bid 50,000 Jenny.

If no one notices this painting, then it will be his. After taking a look at the address of the shop, Allan left.

“Where have you been?”

Seeing Allan coming back, Alisha asked.

“I took an interest in an item.” Allan didn’t explain too much. After looking around, he didn’t see Neon.

“Where is your sister?”

“Miss and Alimie went to the store in front to buy some clothes. I was afraid that you would come back and won’t find us, so I stayed here waiting for you.” Alisha said.

Allan nodded. He didn’t want to get involved with them buying clothes, so he stayed outside.

Seeing that Alisha was still outside waiting, Allan, who was bored, started a conversation: “Miss Alisha, are you married?”

“Why, why did you ask so suddenly? Of course, I’m not.”

Alisha was slightly flustered from the sudden question.

Obviously, it was the first time someone asked such a strange question.

Allan didn’t think she was that shy. After replying with an ‘Oh,’ he asked again: “Do you have a target?”

“No.” Alisha shook her head lightly.

Allan nodded as he knew that she was taking of Neon and didn’t have the time considering that wayward Miss.

“What about you?” Seeing that Allan didn’t speak after a while, Alisha asked.

“I’m a golden bachelor (This means he is old and still single or a rich man who wants to be married).” Allan teased.

“Golden Bachelor?” Alisha said amusedly.

Because of his ordinary-looking face, Alisha though he is nearly forty and a complete middle-aged uncle. He had already passed his golden age, so how could he be considered a golden Bachelor.

Allan was a little embarrassed since he forgot that he was under disguise.

But if he reveals his real appearance, Alisha wouldn’t laugh.

“Hey, you two are talking and laughing there. What did you get so familiar with already?” Neon, who came out of the store, saw her personal attendant and Allan laughing and immediately assumed her old lady role.

“I’m sorry, miss,” Alisha said apologetically.

Allan shrugged and said: “We are discussing the Issue of like, you little kid won’t understand.”

“Who’s a kid? This lady is an adult.” Neon retorted violently.

“Are you an adult?” Allan didn’t believe her.

“Humph, of course.” Neon said triumphantly.

Allan looked at Neon up and down and couldn’t help saying: “Okay, forgive my eyesight since I couldn’t really tell you’re an adult.”

“What do you mean?” Neon wasn’t fooled.

“Nothing.” Allan spread his hands.

“Humph, you obviously think that I look like a child. You think that my body is not well developed, don’t you?”

“No, absolutely not.”

Allan didn’t want to quarrel with this wayward lady, so he glanced at Alisha next to him.

Alisha nodded and changed the subject: “Sister, let’s go for a stroll. When I was looking around, I seem to see a circus.”

Hearing this, Neon instantly looked excited: “A circus? What are we waiting for then? I didn’t see a circus before.”

Allan, on the side, couldn’t help sigh. As soon as she heard about something exciting, she would turn into a child. And she still says she is an adult. Allan really couldn’t believe it.

“What were you talking about with sister just now?” Alicia asked curiously.

“Just chatting casually.” Allan glanced at Alimie and couldn’t help notice the difference between the twin’s character. Alisha seemed easily frightened and quiet, while Alimie seemed lively and open-minded.

The lights on the street illuminated as night fell.

Allan, who was with Neon the whole day, yawned boredly.

Looking at Neon, who was full of energy, Allan admired her stamina.

After having dinner at a high-class restaurant, they went to hang out in the night market.

“Uncle Allan, you must be tired after spending a day with the lady today, right? Do you want to go back first?” Alisha asked.

Although he felt strange being called uncle, Allan could only accept it since it was his current appearance.

But Alisha is sure considerate and gentle. He was just a bodyguard, and she cares so much about him.

Allan smiled and said: “It’s okay. This is my job, after all.”

At this moment, a girl with short black hair and glasses passed by Allan.

Allan felt something and instinctively looked at her. Feeling someone looking at her, the girl looked back, and their eyes met.

“So it turns out to be her.”

Allan recognized this girl. She was Shizuku Murasaki, the Number eight of the Gen’ei Ryodan.

Seeing Allan staring at her, Shizuku walked toward Allan and said: “Uncle, are you looking at me?”

“No?” Allan denied.

“Well, you have been staring at me since earlier.”

Seeing Shizuku’s determined eyes, Allan shrugged: “Well, I admit, I was looking just now.”

Allan could feel that if his answer made her feel dissatisfied, she would fight right there.

Although Allan wasn’t afraid, he doesn’t want the trouble either.

He thought for a while before saying: “Because you look just someone I know.”

“Really?”

“Yes.”

“Then what’s her name?”

“She is called… Shizuku.”

“Shizuku?”

“Yes.”

“What a coincidence. I’m also called Shizuku. Am I the person that you know? But I don’t know you, uncle.”

Faced with Shizuku’s doubt, Allan smiled: “Maybe it’s just the same name.”

“Okay then, excuse me.” After saying this, Shizuku bowed and apologized before she turned and left.”

“Do you know that person?” Alicia came over and asked.

“I don’t know, let’s go.” Allan didn’t want to say anything else.

Since Shizuku was here, it can only mean that the others were here in Yorknew city, including Chrollo.

Although he could guess that they are here to rob the auction, Allan didn’t intend to stop them.

His job is to protect Neon, and anything else has nothing to do with him.

No matter how much trouble The Ryodan causes, he didn’t want to be a busy body.

Of course, if it is a conflict of interest, he will step in if necessary.

At this moment, Allan received a message on his phone. It was from Dalzollene asking them to return.

“Miss, we should go back.”

Allan said to Neon.

“It’s only seven right now. I will go back at ten.”

Neon was being willful.

“In that cause, sorry in advance.”

Allan didn’t talk nonsense with her and directly chopped her lightly on the back of her neck.

“Let’s go back.”

Taking a look at the stunned twins, Allan directly carried Neon back toward the hotel.

In the hotel, Allan gave Neon to the twin to take care of her and opened the system to get his reward.

[Ding! You opened a Silver Treasure Chest. Item’s obtained: Ten Years of Life.]

Add ten years of life to the person who eats it.

Allan’s eyes lit up as he couldn’t think that he could obtain such a rare thing.

A human’s life span was only a few decades.

Even in this world, a human’s life span wouldn’t exceed two hundred, and only a few reached over a hundred years old like Maha Zoldyck and Netero.

An increase of ten years wasn’t small.

The next morning, Allan received a message from Dalzollene asking him for a meeting.

Half an hour later, Allan came to a mansion.

As soon as he entered, he saw a few familiar guys.

They were the bodyguards hired by the Nostrade family.

They were Baise, Basho, Ivienkov, Linssen, Melody, Squala…

Although it was the first time Allan saw them, he still recognized them at first sight.

Allan’s eyes finally fell on a young man, who he didn’t see for quite some time, Kurapika.
