Ancient God in the Modern World

Meanwhile, outside the Auction house, the three generals of Base 300 arrived as they had decided to join tonight's auction.

The military colonel that remained outside greeted them. While the captains felt pressured by the aura that the generals were subconsciously emitting.

Then, the ever-present gossiping crowd did their thing as they started discussing among themselves.

"Look! The generals, they are here!" One from the crowd said. The presence of the generals is not a small matter. Most of the time they were 'busy.' They have many works to tend to. They also have a big responsibility that could cause fatality to the human race if they made a mistake.

"As expected," another one on the crowd said as if he had foreseen this event.

What he said made the others look at him scrutinizingly. And as is he was a saint that transcended the ranks of the mortals, he looked unperturbed.

"Haven't you heard? Rumors say that the map to Asgard has been found."

The crowd was doubtful as they heard what the man said. Although they are not oblivious of the myths of the past era, they did not think much of it. But the existence of the demons made them unable to deny the possibility that there might be gods.

On the other hand, that was not enough to make them believe that gods indeed exist because some of the humans also have godlike abilities.

"Aren't those myths?" Another one from the crowd asked disapprovingly.

"Myth or not, that's what the rumor says?"

"Eh? Where did you hear that rumor?"

Thus, the crowd had gone wild as their discussion turned into arguments. And, who knows if it might also become a fight.

???

Meanwhile, the generals disregarded the crowd and continued to walk into the auction house. The three generals were, namely, General Brenden Hardy, General Sean Page, and lastly, General Flavien Ravens.

General Brenden reeks of a violent fiery aura. At the same time, he is the father of Arthur Hardy. Then, General Sean made his surroundings tranquil as if they were listening to a melody that would ease all their problems. While General Flavien is full of smiles, as it seemed that he treated everything in this world as a joke. The three of them entered the auction house shoulder to shoulder.

"A pleasant evening, generals." The three of them heard an alluring voice as they passed through the entrance of the auction house.

"Madame Lilith, it's nice meeting you," General Brenden greeted back with a fine smile.

Meanwhile, General Sean and General Flavien looked at each other. They were not ignorant that General Brenden wanted to woo Madame Lilith. In fact, they agreed to it. This way the military could make a tie to the Warbringer Auction House.

The Warbringer Auction House is not a small power. They were only weaker to the military. Moreover, the Warbringer Auction House in Base 300 is just one of their branches.

The Warbringer Auction House had a branch in almost every prominent base of the human race and they were rising unstoppably, which somehow made the military cautious.

In this era, humans might seem united, but the people with a higher authority had a clearer view of what human society looked like.

It was not as peaceful as it seemed. Some of the strong factions wanted to overthrow the military because they were dissatisfied while the others only wanted to fulfill their greed and become the rulers of this world.

After the three generals entered, the dim night brightened as another group appeared. This group is wearing fancy clothes and bright smiles that seem to ease the world.

(A/N: I wonder how it could be compared with Allen's smile.)

"These bastards, why are they here?" General Sean asked as he had sensed the aura of the men that just arrived. But he received no comment from the other two. Or rather, they did not have anything to say.

Then, again, the ever-present crowd took another part in this chapter.

"Kyaaaaa!" The ladies within the crowd squealed as they saw the group of men that arrived.

"My loooove!"

The group of men that arrived are figures of this era's television. It could be said that they are the masters of the showbiz world. Yes, eras might have changed, but showbiz still exists. Moreover, they have their own power. But, fortunately, they are not using it to influence the people. Instead, they are simply using it to earn money as well as to strengthen themselves or rather, to understand more of their ability.

"Tsk! These showy bastards are here again," but although they are famous, not everyone has a good impression of them, especially the males. They did not like the idea of their women secretly admiring other men.

"Hehe, sooner or later, I would also join King's Manor." But not all men hated them. There were also those that wanted to join, instead.

Meanwhile, unlike the generals, they are not tsundere. They waved to their fans and even signed autographs.

"Welcome, people of King's Manor," Madame Lilith welcomed them, next, after welcoming the generals. But this time, she was not coquettish nor alluring. Her tone was plain.

"Madame Lilith, you're gorgeous as always," a man from the King's Manor said in his flattery.

"You as well, Dion, handsome as always." Madame Lilith did not intend to lose as she also expressed her flattery.

"Well, birds of a feather should flock together, ain't it?" Dion said but Madame Lilith did not seem to understand its meaning.

Then, while staring at her intently, Dion expressed what he meant. "Madame Lilith, why don't you join the King's Manor?"

Madame Lilith smiled widely as she was enlightened by what Dion meant. But from Dion's perspective, it was unknown if her bright smile meant that she liked it or not. It seemed to be an upside-down smiley emoji, which gave him chills. But, still, he was wearing a fine smile that he wore as he was greeting the crowd.

After that, Dion and the others began walking towards their VIP room. But, it was not Madame Lilith who accompanied them towards their room.. Instead, an attendant tended them.
