1309: Chapter 1308: Report Back 1309: Chapter 1308: Report Back Appraisal Pavilion is enormously large.
When Yusuf Zuck arrived at Appraisal Pavilion, it was absolutely packed like a sea of people.
The facade of Appraisal Pavilion alone took up half the street, with about three to four hundred separate doors each corresponding to a specific service.
Yusuf Zuck found the auction registration area and waited in line for half an hour before it was finally his turn.
“Identity Waist Plaque.” The person handling the registration was very bureaucratic.
Appraisal Pavilion is a major business hub, shrouded in mystery with a solid backing, wealthy and ho to nurous powerful beings, which is why even the ordinary staff here are considered above average.
Yusuf Zuck presented Gael Berger’s Identity Waist Plaque, which was checked with a Crystal Ball by the registration staff.
“The Waist Plaque is correct.
Please pay the minimum auction deposit of ten million Spirit Stones!”
“Oh.” Yusuf Zuck took out a ring and handed it over, asking, “When does the auction start?”
“You’ve co just in ti.
We just received the notice that it will be held on the day of the Star Deity Festival next year.”
“Star Deity Festival next year?” Yusuf Zuck was montarily startled but then took a deep breath.
The so-called Star Deity Festival is a festival that takes place only once every hundred years.
On this festival night, stars that are normally invisible all appear in the night sky of the Heavenly Realm.
People raise their heads to see countless sparkling stars in the sky, nad Star Deity Festival by ancient peoples in rembrance.
On the day of the Star Deity Festival, the power of the stars is especially strong.
Many who practice the star cavity skills receive supre benefits, either breaking through or advancing.
Calculating the ti, it was indeed exactly one year until the Star Deity Festival.
Yusuf Zuck turned and left, as he still needed to do a lot of preparation during this year.
However, after exiting Appraisal Pavilion, Yusuf Zuck did not ride a ferocious tiger carriage but chose to walk south.
It was his first ti in such a large city; naturally, he wanted to explore.
Yet, this exploration took him ten days and nights and he still hadn’t reached South City, so reluctantly and out of necessity, he had to hail a ferocious tiger taxi; after all, the speed of a running ferocious tiger is very fast, almost like flying.
After leaving South City and walking for two more days, he finally arrived at Unending City, where the security for entering and exiting the city was even stricter.
Although the number of Spirit Stones required was less, every individual entering or leaving was ticulously scrutinized by the city gate guards.
Coincidentally, today’s gate guard was soone Yusuf Zuck knew, also from the Berger family, nad Xavier Berger.
“Get out of the carriage, submit for questioning!” The guard shouted angrily, pointing at the ferocious tiger carriage.
“Heh, Xavier, are you looking for a kick?” Yusuf Zuck lifted the carriage curtain and stuck out his head.
“Aha, Gael, you’re still alive!” Seeing Yusuf Zuck’s head pop out of the ferocious tiger carriage, Xavier Berger was shocked and imdiately ran to the carriage curtain and pinched Yusuf Zuck’s cheek!
“Ha ha, a living person, still breathing hot air!” Xavier Berger and Gael Berger were neighbors previously, both surnad Berger.
Although they were distantly related, they genuinely played together as children.
“Scram, scram, scram, do you really wish dead?
Let tell you, even if I die, ‘Sister Six’ won’t be yours!”
“Heh heh, Sister Six is already with … heh heh heh!” Xavier Berger laughed proudly, then suddenly slapped the back of the ferocious tiger, saying, “Scram, Gael.
Co over tonight for a drink!”
“We’ll see.
I’ll co over if I have ti.
I’m leaving!”
Without registration or questioning, after all, this is the Berger family’s stronghold, and they are all Bergers, so what’s there to register or question?
Yusuf Zuck let down the carriage curtain, closed his eyes to rest.
In this different city within the Berger family, Bergers number up to a million, yet ninety-nine percent of them are just collaterals, outsiders who have never even entered the main door of the Berger family!
While the inner clan mbers are few in number!
Of course, South City also has a population of nearly one billion, equally bustling and large!
The Berger family’s direct line owns a huge palace complex in the north of the city, also known as the South City Palace, which is even bigger than the imperial palace, and the direct descendants of the Berger family all live around the outer areas of the palace, while these ‘foreign tribes’ are scattered throughout various corners of the city!
The External Affairs Hall is located to the west of the South City Palace, at least twenty li away, and is also a small palace.
The staff there amounts to no less than eight thousand, if not ten thousand.
When Yusuf Zuck entered the External Affairs Hall, many people were surprised and incredulous at first sight of him, but there were also people who ca forward to greet him, after all, Gael Berger was sociable and a bit of a leader, so he had so power.
“Gael, you’re back?” Another person ca over to greet, Yusuf Zuck glanced at him, also surnad Berger, nad Aaron Berger, who usually followed Gael Berger around, pretty much Gael Berger’s lackey!
“Aaron, tell about the current situation in the External Affairs Hall, why do I feel like many people’s gazes are hostile?” Yusuf Zuck is now posing as Gael Berger, and Gael Berger looked exactly like Gael Berger, not even Gael Berger’s own mother could tell that her son was actually being controlled by soone else!
“Brother Gael, there was an accident.” Aaron Berger whispered, “Originally you were to be promoted to Deputy Master, but Sloane Berger, Ersyn Berger, and their four souls’ tablets were all shattered, while yours was intact, so there were objections raised, and you also know many people are eyeing the Deputy Master position, so… so…”
“Speak!” Yusuf Zuck coldly spoke as he walked forward.
“So the position of Deputy Master was taken by Nolan Berger!”
“Nolan Berger?” Yusuf Zuck was shocked upon hearing this na, this Nolan Berger was none other than one of the eight who went to the Lower Realm to pursue him years ago, and in Gael Berger’s mory, Nolan Berger was indeed of the direct line, with an extraordinarily noble birth.
Yusuf Zuck had t Nolan Berger once before at the Mount of Ten Thousand Bones, at that ti Nolan Berger was only a Middle Heavenly God, and to beco a Deputy Master of the External Affairs Hall, one would need to be at least an Upper Heavenly God!
“Nolan Berger beca an Upper Heavenly God?” Yusuf Zuck raised his eyebrows.
“Um, after all, he is a genius of the direct line, who recently beca an Upper Heavenly God, then after the objections about you, he just directly ca over to hold the Deputy Master position, but he is only transitional!”
“I see!” Yusuf Zuck said this as he walked into the great hall of External Affairs.
At this mont, inside the great hall of External Affairs, soone was already seated, the Master of the External Affairs Hall was Ian Berger, along with three Deputy Masters, and the lowest ranked among them was the position of Deputy Master that he had contended for, but now it had already been taken by Nolan Berger!
When Yusuf Zuck entered, that Nolan Berger directly ignored him, but the Master and the other two Deputy Masters stood up to greet him.
“Gael, you’re finally back, it’s good that you’ve returned, really good!” Ian Berger affectionately walked up to Yusuf Zuck and patted his arm.
“Master, let’s begin, I still need to return to ask after my mother, so may I present my report?” Yusuf Zuck’s face bore a hint of dissatisfaction, as anyone would be displeased, having had a rightful position snatched away from them wrecking one’s career progression.
“Alright, go ahead, I will record with the Crystal Ball!” Master Ian Berger nodded and sat back in the main seat.
“Nothing much to say about the earlier parts, I conducted inspections as usual, it was just during the return journey, aboard the divine ship, we encountered bandits from Mount Xu Mi, by coincidence, I made a once-in-a-lifeti friend who saved my life, allowing to return.”
“Hmm, the once-in-a-lifeti friend is nad Thunderbolt Beads, he saved !”
“What?”
“Ah?”
The Master and a few Deputy Masters, including the haughty Nolan Berger were all stunned, wide-eyed, Gael Berger survived because Thunderbolt Beads specifically saved him?
What was the situation?
