Return of the 10th Circle Archmage

Chapter 37 23.IS

“Kuh-huh…”

Hatch Road, 30 minutes from Windsor Castle.

There today, there were 80 armed groups with AK-47s on their shoulders.

Sitting on top of five trucks, they covered their faces with black cloth, with only their eyes exposed.

“Today, you finally caught the tail of the black market…….”

A person wearing a turban engraved with a flame pattern over a black mask.

He was the leader of ISIS, Abdul Bakur al-Baghdadi. Abdul Bakur for short.

Abdul Bakur jumped out of his car and organized his thoughts.

‘We have already succeeded in all of the numerous terrorist attacks in various parts of Europe. If we take many rich people hostage in this raid and loot the treasures at auction, it will be a great foundation for building our complete Islamic empire.’

ISIS emerged in 2003 and has grown into the world’s largest terrorist group under the slogan of One God and the Temple.

He participated in the Syrian and Iraqi civil wars, and on June 29, 2014, proclaimed the establishment of a Khalifa state and then raised the flag of IS in earnest.

Abdul Bakur was the leader of a terrorist group and a pseudo-religious group (the Khalifa).

ISIS grew rapidly after the Taliban, which caused the 9/11 terrorist attacks, was overthrown by the United States.

ISIS forces spread all over the world, causing terrorism in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and East Asia, driving the entire world into a vortex of fear.

In addition, as the refugee issue has been on the rise since 10 years ago, the EU has cleverly dug into the gap when it revealed its refugee acceptance policy.

ISIS deployed militants disguised as refugees to launch bombs or open fires on civilians.

‘More than any other terrorism, this terror is the most important now…’

Those who participated in this black market are the wealthy who move around the world in the shadows. They were the enormously wealthy who had twice as much wealth and as many as ten times as much wealth as the wealthy revealed in the sun.

So, by taking them hostage and demanding ransom, ISIS was able to solve the financial crisis and establish a unified Islamic empire.

“Allahu Akbar (الله أكبر)!!!”

At Abdul Bakur’s shout, the soldiers raised their guns and raised their hands. Then, they all shouted ‘Allahu Akbar’ and started moving, carrying guns and bombs.

As in the case of me and Ari, the auction attendees who were specially escorted by the black market entered the castle one after another.

The castle was lined with steep European-style towers built with bricks, and the expansive park was covered with grass.

It used to be a famous tourist destination, but today it has been completely chartered for a secret auction in a black market.

The general public has already been banned from entering, so they turned away with the entrance cut.

The only ones allowed to enter were vehicles coming in limousines.Before the auction started, Ari and I toured Windsor Castle with Leyba. Leiba had been there several times before, so she guided us skillfully.

We were guided by him for about an hour, and then we met Mark Chase, the head of European auctions.

Mark Chase was staying at the auction house base camp, a temporary set-up inside Windsor Castle.

There he worked with several staff to organize the list of auctions to be submitted today, and occasionally held meetings with new members.

“Mark Chase, the Miss Choi and Mr. Lee I mentioned last time.”

“Nice to meet you, Miss Choi. Mr. Lee.”

Mark Chase shook hands with me and Ari. He, the host, wore a mask like the participants, and it was a lion’s mask.

Mark Chase broke his luck by briefly explaining the black market.

“All the rich people from all over the world gather here to bid for the auction. Gems, artifacts, and anything of value can enter and be bid on auctions. Transactions range from a minimum of millions of dollars to billions of dollars.”

“i See.”

“Billions of dollars…”

Unlike me, who was timid, Ari opened her mouth wide as if surprised by the auction scale of trillions of won.

“Miss Choi. At first glance, you can see the beauty that was not covered by the mask.”

Mark Chase stared at Ahri in amazement and lip serviced it like that. A lip service that seems serious. As he looked at Ari and said about his beauty, the center of his trousers bulged slightly and then subsided.

“Anyway, did you two say that the item to be bid for at this auction is a rainbow diamond?”

“That’s right.”

I was slowly starting to look forward to how much my jewelry would sell. 600 billion won came out at the official auction, wouldn’t it be at least more than that? expectations to.

“It’s not the highest grade of this auction, but I think it’s above average.”

“…isn’t it the highest level?”

Ari couldn’t erase the look of surprise, so she asked. It was as if he was more restless than me.

Mark Chase looked at Ahri, smiled sweetly again, and nodded his head as if not to worry.

“Still, you will be able to bid at a higher price than the price from this Cresty auction.”

“Oh oh······. Then it’s good for us.”

Ari quickly erased her startled face, and returned to a smiley face again. It was the smile that captivated the hearts of men.

“I have explained the auction process to the two of you to some extent. There are a lot of people behind me to explain.”

“i See. Thanks for the explanation.”

As Ari nodded her head, Mark Chase bit her taste buds as if it was a pity. He seemed to taste Ari’s voluptuous thighs that were exposed under the tight skirt.

“If you have any questions later, please contact me here.”

“Yes.”

Ari received Mark Chase’s business card without any doubt. Ray Bar, who was watching next to her, opened her eyes wide in surprise, but soon regained her poker face.

After Mark Chase left, Ray Bar gave a small whisper to her Ahri.

She said, “It is rare for the branch manager of the market to give a business card directly . . . It seems that the branch manager is very interested in Ari. Heh heh heh.”

“Ho Ho···. is that so? Isn’t it just a service for beginners?”

When Ahri asked her suspiciously, Ray Ba firmly shook her head.

“Absolutely not. He is a branch manager who treats newcomers even more coldly. After all, unless you’re a top-notch wealthy, it’s rare to meet the branch manager in person, and even less often to receive business cards. here.”

“Ah······.”

Ari nodded his head as if he knew what he was saying. Auctions conducted in an absolutely private manner.

And it was certainly unusual for the branch manager to pay attention to Ari while exposing his identity (although, of course, the car number).

*

The auction was held in the One Free Hall, a circular building. Inside, the auction was carried out with pin lighting as in the cresty auction, and the branch manager who conducted the auction explained each entry one by one.

In this auction, unlike Cresty, various relics were exhibited in addition to jewels, and bids were made to the auctioneers.

The sale proceeds from the auction were immediately deposited in a lump sum on the spot. Either everyone had their bullets prepared just for that day, or there were many cases where they shot in advance without intermediary in the black market.

Of course, it was all possible because I could visually check the items on the spot.

The authenticity of the items was strictly checked by the black market itself, and there was a treaty in which the black market would give a full refund if it was found to be a forgery.

Because of such trust, the wealthy paid for the items they wanted on the spot with peace of mind.

“Wow, Rainbow Diamond has been sold for $760 million!”

Our turn, as Mark Chase said, was halfway through, and although it didn’t attract as much attention, the bid was higher than Cresty’s because of multiple buyers.

Ari couldn’t hide her joy as she did her own work when she saw the bid for more than 760 billion won. It was more than 160 billion won more than at the Cresty auction. Every time she shook her body with excitement, the voluptuous swing of her upper body caught the attention of all her men.

A white shirt with a tight C-cup chest between the black suits. The shirt had about two buttons unbuttoned, revealing her white, voluptuous breastbone. Her waist was narrow, and the round curve of the pelvis that fell below her waist made the hearts of men pound.

‘There are people who openly stare at me because I’m wearing a mask…’

Since we didn’t know who each other was, there was no respect in this place. If there was a woman I liked and had a nice body, I looked at it openly.

Besides, her voice was pretty, and the line of Ari’s face hidden behind the mask seemed to reveal her beauty.

Before, like Mark Chase, she was a pretty girl and anyone with a good eye would recognize her pretty quickly.

“Rainbow Diamond! It sold for $760 million!”

As soon as Mark Chase shouted in an excited voice,

“Please check the deposit once.”Ari waved my arm as if choking. I picked up my smartphone to access my secret Swiss account and checked the price of the jewelry sold on the spot.

“Exactly, the account balance is $684 million.”

“They charge a 10% commission.”

Ari smiled softly and nodded his head. Her small, beautiful face was flushed with blush, dazzling her viewers. I raised her hand and gently stroked her cheek.

“Thank you, Ari.”

“It’s Junhyuk’s stuff, so what do you need to thank me for? Is it ‘Treasure Island’ who should be told that?”

Treasure Island.

The relationship between Treasure Island, which started as a joke, has led to such a long relationship.

When Ari said that playfully, I also got a mean thought and agreed with her.

“That’s right, I think it’s Treasure Island…”

bang!

“Ahhhhhhh!”

Before she could finish her words, one wall of the One Free Hall burst and people shouted.

“What, what?”

“bomb······?”

People looked at each other, muttering with confused faces. The fearful eyes revealed inside the mask represented their feelings.

“Terror! Islamic militant group ISIS attacked the area. All personnel, please follow the instructions of the bodyguard and evacuate to a safe place promptly.”

Mark Chase exclaimed with a confused look. Perhaps he had not expected this situation, and his face was full of embarrassment. ISIS has been running around here and there like an unbridled foal, but how dare they attack this place where the giants who move the world are gathered in the shadows?

I couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

“These guys are really fun.”

“Yes?”

I jumped up from my seat, adjusted my suit, and added.

“It’s cute too.”

“…!”

Ari looked at me in amazement at my murmuring, but soon she lost consciousness and fell into my arms.

“Look after these bastards…”

I quickly changed my expression and raised my magic power. Why, such a large amount of money was rolling in, and I was quietly passing through.

Shoo!

A magical circle of defense in an unbreakable realm was spread around Ahri, and I immediately cast High Blink.
