Jenna froze on the spot and looked at Kadyn with quivering eyes. Hands trembled and lips shivered. Then she stammered. "Kad-Sir, please, forgive me. I was wrong, but I never had any intention to harm Elora."

As she spoke, she fell on her knees and started to sob. Kadyn cared a little about her antic emotional melodrama—she should have thought about this before hurting his sister—he turned towards Fenon before speaking. "You also stay here."

The boy, who had just sighed in relief, tumbled back and almost fell on his butt in trepidation. Fenon's face paled and horror was evident on his handsome face. Just as he was about to open his mouth, Kadyn said. "No need to beg. It won't do any good, other than annoying me."

Hearing these words, Fenon felt as if the soul had almost left his body. Looking at the condition of Hicka, he felt as if vipers were crawling on his neck. No one could tell how much misery and pain Hicka was feeling at this moment. Moreover, no one wanted to know that either. Such a misery, such an ending. Too frightening.

"You can go," Kadyn said towards others. "However, remember to be more tactful in the future."

"Ye-yes, sir," Shum said in a fearful voice. "Th-thank you for be-being merciful."

Then they held a chunk of meat that was filled with dripping pus and wriggling maggots. As they felt the gooeyness on their hands, their faces paled and Big One puked; following him, all of them did the same, the stench was unbearable; on top of that the disgusting pus and worms that touched their hands made their gut to lurch.

However, when Kadyn's cold eyes fell into their view, none of them dared to remain in this damnable place, and scurried out of the hall. Just as they left, Elora rushed inside with a horrified face. "What was that?!" she demanded. She saw something outside that looked like a human, but not a human in any way.

Kadyn had no intention to reply to her question directly as it would make the situation even more complicated, and he wouldn't be able to respond to the shower of questions that would come afterwards.

"It's good you're here. Now tell me, how do you want to deal with them?" As he said, he pointed towards Fenon and Jenna, whose expressions turned stiff immediately before a gush of delight rushed out of their faces. They would endure any punishment if they could escape that certain horror. They would even die happily to avoid becoming that abomination.

Elora peered at the duo and looked at them with narrow eyes. At this moment she felt no kinship with that girl who was like her sister at some point; now she was a complete stranger to her. "No need to do anything to them." She said and shook her head. "I have already forgotten everything."

A jubilant expression appeared on the duo's face. They could escape this calamity. However, at this moment a voice that was like the voice of Yama King to them sounded, almost freezing their heart. "How could you let them go just like this?" Kadyn said, a little dissatisfied. "At least shatter their Elemental Pool, cripple them. You already know what kind of intention this mother-fucking maggot Fenon had previously. Jenna had betrayed your trust. Every person should pay for their actions."

"Humph, if you've already decided then why are you even asking me." Elora scoffed. "Do whatever you want, but don't ask my opinion about anything in the future." She said and dashed out of the hall, leaving only frowning Kadyn behind. She is too naïve. He thought and shook his head.

"Your luck is too good. Get lost and don't show me your face again!" He was furious. Why did he even ask her opinion? He should have punished them before asking her. But it was who suffered, so he thought that only she had the right to decide their fate.

As they spotted how furious Kadyn was, both of them dared to stay no further—when the duo vanished, Kadyn turned towards the trio that was waiting for a long time. At this moment, their faces were pale. The scene had a tremendous impact on them, but Kadyn had to say that these people were really something. Even after watching such a horrifying scene, no one fell unconscious, not even those six morons.

Just as he was about to speak, his nose twitched. This place was filled with a disgusting stench. But as he thought about it, a window popped out in front of him and a voice resounded in his head.

[Do you want to clean the shop? Y/N]

Kadyn obviously chose yes with shining eyes. He had never known that such an option was available. Maybe it was because this was similar to arranging the buildings in the shop—he could arrange the buildings from one place to another. Cleaning wasn't a big deal.

[Energy Points: 217-10→ 207]

Just as he was rejoicing that such an amazing function was available for him, another notification appeared that left him agape. 10 energy points. Damn! With that amount I can travel to any place on the Pengolla! He felt as if his heart was bleeding, but he could do nothing about this. I wonder how much this damn thing would cost to build a house?

[You can't curse the System: 207-10→197]

In the process of pondering, he forgot a rule and lost an extra 10 points just like that. Kadyn looked at the window and took a deep breath before sighing, not saying anything. It looks like his tolerance had increased.

At this moment, small gales of wind appeared inside the Auction Hall. From wherever those gales passed, the stink faded. Due to Hicka rolling at that place, the pus and worms had fallen there, but as the gust passed, they had also vanished.

On the other side, three people saw this entire process with their beady eyes and agape mouth. None of them could tell the source of those gales. Furthermore, how could the stench and the pus vanish just like that? It was like they had been transported with those gusts.

Kadyn turned towards three of them, who were gawking at him incredulously, and said with a grin. "Now, let's sign the Spirit Contract, shall we?"
