Murim Recurve Chapter 206
Advertisement
Re'Kha had been spying on others during the time she was waiting for the three ladies behind the counter to count the money Ki'Nua had brought. In this time, she noticed the sheer quantity of money submitted by the others.
It was easy to determine because the lady behind the counter in every counter announced the money that had been submitted. It wasn't audible to anyone else due to being blocked by the walls on all sides, and the whisper by the ladies.
But to her, it was as if they were speaking in her ear. She could easily hear them. So, it was easy to know that the treasures appearing this time would have incredible value. And, quite a few among them were those that were able to elevate a Harmoniser's strength.
Therefore, Re'Kha had zero intentions to miss the chance. Due to the enemies she had to face, she needed to grasp every opportunity available to her. Just when this thought struck her, Re'Kha frowned, recalling the words of Ki'Nha and realising the depth of her master's scheme.
The reason the capital had sent precious treasures to this auction was because their state had suffered from a disaster this time. It was primarily Burkurel City. But as there were only three cities in their state, it meant one-third had been affected by this disaster.
And, the upcoming disaster was the Rhipa, those that had been discovered after the Burkurel Ju Clan's Western Settlement was overrun by the Kalhas and Re'Kha had taken refuge within a house.
And in the eventual fight, she had with the scouts, the message of the Rhipa was transmitted. It was through the disciple of the scout leader, the sole person that had survived among them, solely because he had left early. After this, when the father of Re'Kha investigated the scene, he confirmed the traces of the Rhipa.

Because of this, the three cities were notified in advance and could prepare accordingly. If the Rhipa weren't discovered, then the threat would continue developing until it grew to the extent it could swallow their cities whole.
It was because the threat was uncovered earlier were they able to take measures. And, to support the three cities in their fight with the Rhipas, the capital had sent help to elevate their survivability.
At the centre of this incident was Re'Kha. And, the cause of this series of incidents was her master. As she thought about it, Re'Kha felt her head spin, realising the meticulousness of her master's schemes.
He was trapped in a cave for 20 years, unable to move in fear the poison plaguing him would devour him whole. But despite all that, he had been able to predict the scenario to such a complex extent.
Using one disaster, he managed to avert them against a disaster that was capable of destroying them completely, also raising their awareness of possible hidden organisations that were plotting against the populace.
With just the one action of his death, he managed to deal with a lot of things. Moreover, every experience either gave her some benefit or helped nurture her somehow. When she realised it, Re'Kha felt a chill.
'Master is a scary individual. And, this makes it obvious.' She heaved a deep sigh, 'His enemies ought to be equally scary and mysterious.'
She then thought through her actions, gazing at look at her bag, 'then, since the capital is supporting our state through this action, the treasures should be beneficial to me. I shouldn't be saving up money then. Best to go all out.'
Re'Kha acted like it was taking time to count—the money Ki'Nua had submitted—and behaved as if she was feeling bored. She naturally entered her carriage and seated herself inside, intending to rest.

In her same posture, she opened her bag's entrance and placed both her hands inside.
Subtly, she opened the entrance to her storage space, taking out the remainder of her money. She only kept 300 RuQi inside for emergencies, placing everything else inside the bag. This further enlarged the bag until it was bursting.
Thankfully, she hadn't taken it out until now. So, the guards wouldn't have noticed the change in the bag's size. Even otherwise, nothing will happen. She could simply act like she had brought two bags and decided to combine them into one.
After some time, she noticed the amount Ki'Nua brought with her, standing outside the carriage to see Ki'Nua wave at her and enter a path next to her.
'I hope the treasures directly help me now,' Re'Kha smiled as she took out her bag from the carriage, for a moment startling the guards. Followed by a grunt, she carried the bag and walked slowly, carrying it.
One of the guards arrived at her help, failing to mask her disbelief as she helped Re'Kha carry the bag to the counter. The lady behind the counter stared at the bag with a pale face, mentally cursing whoever was within the gown.
With the help of the guard, Re'Kha poured the contents of the bag through the funnel, hearing a constant stream made by the falling coins. The moment she was through a quarter of the bag, the tray within was full.
The lady behind the counter beckoned for five more ladies to help her, mumbling something amidst themselves as they began to sort the money accordingly. And, as the number of coins on the tray reduced to a certain extent, Re'Kha and the guard poured the coins once again.
And, every time this happened, the six ladies behind the counter trembled, mentally cursing Re'Kha to their utmost limit. But, they persisted with their task. Their expression changed every time they heard the sounds of the coins jingling through the funnel.
It seemed like forever when the sounds of the coins jingling through the funnel stopped. And, when they heard Re'Kha thanking the guard, they felt a feeling of relief. But, as they stared at the cylinders stacked on the counter, they shuddered, wondering just who it was to have amassed such a fortune.
It was equal to an Elemental Clan's funds for at least a couple of years. It wasn't something an individual could come to possess, even if he/she was the head of a merchant organisation. Such thoughts echoed in their minds as they finished counting all the money. As long as the person passed through the initial verification, it meant they were legit. So, they curbed their thoughts, feeling their heads spin for a moment as they totalled the number.
The other five ladies went off as the lady behind the counter input the number in the contraption. Then, once the metal slab was spat out, she handed it over to Re'Kha.
