Return of the 10th Circle Archmage

Chapter 36 22. Black Market

“Then I will go back to Korea first.”

For one day, Ari and James Park finished sketching out our rough plans for the future.

And then James Park, who was pulling clothes from his hanger, pushed his brim hat forward and said goodbye.

“Yes, then, thank you.”

“Goodbye~”

Me and Ari met him in front of the hotel, and James Park took a taxi to the airport.

James Park, who completed the establishment of an overseas company, got my signature and left to establish an investment corporation in Korea.

The corporation to be established in Korea was an indirect investment brokerage firm. The actual investor was planning to secure a stake in an overseas company under my name.

“Shall we get ready soon?”

She looked back at me in her Adidas sweatpants with pink tricolor stripes.

The look of her without makeup and without makeup made her feel more dizzy and lovely.

‘I want to hug you once…’

I kind of felt that way.

“We go in and get ready. Ready to leave.”

Instead of hugging her, I grabbed her by the hand and went back to her hotel. After checking in, it was time to check out.

The black market, which came from Leyba, was auctioned off in London, England. It is held at a random place rather than a fixed place every year, and the location was notified to the attendees 7 days before the auction.

A black market studded auction held only once a year.

It is a day when all the rich people of the dark, unknown to Forbes, from Europe, the United States, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, etc., are eagerly waiting for this day to gather.

They were willing to pay a 10% brokerage fee and easily paid tens of billions or hundreds of billions of won for a collection that is only one in the world.

Even trillions of auctions were frequently traded in black market auctions.

All transactions there are made with the secret accounts of rich people, and as an intermediary, Black Market does its best to ensure that transactions are carried out in a stable manner.

Instead of receiving only brokerage fees, they directly receive a large amount of money and deliver the brokerage money to the seller when the sale is completed.

It is similar to buying and selling game items on Item Bay.

“after······.”

The two of us each packed our clothes and luggage in our suitcases and finished checking out of the hotel.

The price for staying for about 8 days was a whopping 2.8 million won.

It was a cheap price compared to the suite room, which costs 20 million won a day, but we were satisfied and had a happy time.

“From New York to London now”

After taking a taxi to the airport.

Ari received the reserved business class ticket with an excited voice. He looked very excited.

We waited at New York’s Virgin Atlantic Airport to catch our flight.

‘When I was working, I thought I was a very strict business girl, but now I see that she’s completely unreasonable…’

I was really confused whether he was doing this only in front of him or if he was seeing him like that. Of course, watching from her side, I found her figure so cute that the corners of her mouth went up by itself.

Ari and I waited two hours to get a seat on the plane. This time, we sat next to each other and talked.“As I said before, I am also really new to black market auctions.”

After spending over a week with me at the hotel, Ari taught me every little thing about herself.

Of course, other than her body size, she taught me in detail about her family and the overall history of her own business.

So I already knew that she was going to be participating in her black market auction for the first time.

“By the way, you seemed to be very close with Leiba, didn’t you? How did she know Ray Bar?”

“Yeah, I got to know her little by little by participating in an overseas jewelry auction.”

“Did Leyba point at Ari first?”

“Yes. … well, hehehe…”

Ari shyly bowed her head, as if asking a question like that. Her long, elegant, voluminous hair, dyed brown, fluttered beautifully.

‘Wherever there is such a beauty, she will be entangled with flies everywhere.’

Besides, she is a mixed race beauty.

Isn’t this the dream of all men, regardless of nationality?

Another advantage of Western looks and body, and mixed race.

She was coveted by both Asian and Western men.

She is greedy just by looking at her, wants to get close to her, wants to talk to her, wants to hug her, and wants to sleep with her.

Of course, I didn’t feel that desire either.

Because she’s had superhuman patience by staying in one room for nearly a week. If she had not had the mental strength equivalent to that of a god, she would have almost disgraced a man.

‘It’s not bad to be on the brink of being like this.’

Like a tight rubber band, it was okay to have a relationship like this that was full of tension. Thrilling, thrilling, and fun.

She looked out her window and chattered, then quickly put on a pink rabbit eye patch and fell into her deep sleep.

A black Lassol base suit with an intelligent image, and neat ponytail hair. And the light makeup didn’t match well with the rabbit eye patch.

I grinned and reclined the seat back so that I could sleep with Ari for the remaining seven hours.

“Ha-am~ I’m sleepy~”

I left London Stented Airport carrying Ari with her closed eyelids on her back like a princess.

He dragged his suitcase from side to side with magic, but he spread out the magic of outliers so that no one could see it.

It was only after I got out of the airport that I unlocked the magic.

“Hey, Leiva!”

Because someone I knew was waiting over there.

“Oh, Mr. Lee~ Long time no see.”

Me and Leyba greeted each other in fluent English. Ari, who was still wearing clothes on her back, opened her closed eyes.

“Oh, Leiva!”

“Miss Choi, Jo is still beautiful.”

“·················ogue.”

Leiba looked at Ahri on my back, slyly, and let out her smirk.

After I lowered Ari to the ground, I looked at Reyba.

“Leiba, what is that car?”

No, not Leiva, but looking at the car he was pulling and asked.

“This is the car that will pick you up today.”

“Huh~”

Ari covered her mouth with both hands, making a surprised expression. Behind Leiba, a long white limousine was waiting like a hawk.

“If you participate in a secret auction, you are treated like this.”

I nodded calmly and took Ari’s hand and drove to the car.

“You two are a really good pair.”

Leiba said so with a very envious look when Ari and I had friendly and natural skinship.

I rather enjoyed the gaze, loosening Ari’s hand and wrapping it around her shoulder.

“Well, I’ll take it as a compliment.”

“··········!”

Ray Bar raised her eyebrows slightly at my provocation, but she quickly regained her poker face like a businessman.

“Come on.”

Leyba said loudly as she opened the back seat car door.

bang!

Seeing the door slam shut when closing, it looked like the sediment had loosened a bit because of my previous actions, but I didn’t really care.

Boo Woong!

The driver was driving, Leyba sat in the front passenger seat, and Ari and I sat tight in the back seat. There was plenty of room in the back seat, but Ari, who was tired due to the jet difference at the airport, was afraid that she would bump into the car door, so I grabbed it and rode it from the side.

“·················ogue.”

Ray Bar kept her mouth shut as she checked her elongated rearview mirror, but she didn’t openly express her dissatisfaction.

I hugged Ari tighter on purpose because it was funny and also funny.

“Mommy…….”

Ari let out a small moan while sleeping. She didn’t hold her hand well, let alone hug her when they were alone.

“Where are you going?”

“Windsor Castle.”

Leiba answered with a blunt voice, whether it was a tight pout, or whether she was pretending to be pouting.

“Are you far from here?”

“It takes about an hour.”

Inside the long limousine, very soft seats and various amenities were perfectly equipped.

Light snacks, drinks, and magazines and books were also stocked.

TV was standard.

“A lot of rich people will participate in this auction?”

I asked so in a rather serious tone, releasing her arms around her Ari’s shoulders. Then, Leiba replied with a gentle tone, as if she had ever done that.

“Yes, it is. From wealthy families in Europe, IT tycoons in Silicon Valley, overseas Chinese in China, royalty in oil-producing countries in the Middle East, etc. In addition, there are many real rich people who have not been exposed to the media.”

“Oh, you are a real bastard. I am very much looking forward to it.”I nodded and responded to Leiva’s words. He seemed quite proud of the black market he belonged to.

‘If you see a car worth 1 billion won, your salary will be higher than you think.’

If you drive a billion-dollar car, won’t you earn more than one billion a year? That’s my personal opinion. Of course, if you lease or rent, the price will come down a lot, but if you’re not rich, it’ll be impossible to keep such a supercar.

‘Isn’t it supposed to be a company car…?’

I spent about an hour leisurely imagining things like that. Anyway, no matter how much Leyba gets a month, it doesn’t matter to me, isn’t it?

It was enough for me to sell the rainbow diamonds at the full price at this black market auction and return to Korea.

I wasn’t really curious about how the black market works.

However, since I participated in the auction myself, I needed to know a little bit.

Did an hour pass like that?

We arrived at Windsor Castle, located in Windsor City, as Leiva said.

“Mr. Ari. Arrived.”

I put her mouth to her and let her breathe out quietly. A warm breeze blew between her white nape and her earlobe.

“Oh, that’s a surprise!”

Ari rolled her eyes tightly and tapped my chest with her fist. She was not sick and was tickled. Leiba was staring at me as if to kill me as I was playing with Ari.

“The two of you, please write this down before you get off.”

After doing something, I found that it was a cute rabbit mask and a devilish-looking devil mask.

“···········?”

When I looked at him bewildered, Leiva explained with a big smile.

“As Black Market is a secret auction, we guarantee complete anonymity to all participating members. This is part of it.”

I’ve been complimented on saying it’s a mask that doesn’t even catch far infrared rays, but that’s not the point.

“Aren’t you going to tell me to wear a demon mask?”

“Then why would you put a devil mask on this beautiful lady?”

Leiba looked at me with a cheerful expression, ‘Did you eat one?’ and handed me the black demon mask.

“You will get along well. There was something about the atmosphere. I think there will be a force if you write it.”

I and Ari put on masks as we listened to things we didn’t know whether it was a compliment or a slander. Ahri wears a pink rabbit mask, and I wear a black savage demon mask.

“Come on, get off now.”

Again, Ray Bar got off first and opened the car door in the backseat of her.

‘I think it’s a form I’ve seen a lot in the past…’

I roughly put on the demon mask and got out of the car.

As I looked at Windsor Castle that stretched out over the meadow in the distance, I had memories that came to mind. How many times has it been to see such a large fortress built with stone and dirt by hand?

one month?

It felt like a year had passed.

It’s only been a month since I returned to Earth, but it’s where I used to live, so I quickly got used to it. I’m used to modern culture and Igi.

So, looking at Windsor Castle, I suddenly fell into vague memories.

“This is Leiva.”

At the entrance of the castle, the three of us were checked for identification, and we entered the castle.
