Transmigrated as Baron, Married with my Lovely Maid-Chapter 77

"Stop!"

The police’s shouts grew louder as the officers pulled over in their cars.

I saw three police officers get out of the car at once and immediately run after me.

I ran quickly because I know well they want to arrest me into some social shelter like I’m the crazy person on the street.

Damn it.

Why are the police chasing me like this?!

I’m considered homeless just because of my shabby appearance!

I kept running to the end of the street, then immediately turned left.

Behind me, about 20 meters away, I heard footsteps getting closer.

Right after I turned, I put on my invisible coat, making myself instantly invisible.

WOOSHH...!

I stopped running and immediately pulled over, letting the police officers run past me without realizing my presence.

"Hey, where’s that crazy person?! Wasn’t he close by just now...?!"

"He probably ran far away...!"

"How could he run that fast...! He’s a madman, not a normal person like us! Hurry up and find him...! He must be hiding somewhere around here...!"

"Okay, Chief...!"

And then, those three officers go away, spread out to look for me, without ever realizing I’m still near them under the hideous of invisible’s coat.

But such efforts were futile because I had already moved away from them and they couldn’t see me.

My notes on the Rainville Building address had been lost, thrown away by Ela, but I remembered them.

From my memory, the Rainville Building shouldn’t be too far from where I was, about 500 meters to the west.

After walking a fair distance toward the Rainville Building, I saw many luxury sports cars and limousines going in and out of a large, opulent building to the west.

The gold Rainville sign prominently displayed on the building indicated I was in the right direction.

The Rainville Building was bustling with activity as an antique auction was about to begin.

From a distance, I could see the people in expensive suits and gowns getting out of the luxury cars, indicating that this was indeed an event for the super-rich.

And one of them was Dezy and Ela, who were immediately greeted with loud applause.

Security at the gate was already very tight.

I saw many tall, muscular men, complete with body armor and handguns.

As much as I hated to admit it, Dezy and Ela were right.

If I had just walked in like this in my worn-out shirt and jeans, they would have kicked me out immediately.

But thanks to my invisible coat, I easily walked past them without anyone noticing.

I walked through the back door with stealthy steps, avoiding physical contact with the many officers and guards milling about.

As soon as I entered the back door, the warmth of the room immediately hit me, a stark contrast from the chill outside.

Each floor was covered with a special red carpet, and each hallway was filled with crystal chandeliers, shining brightly.

Anyone who walked through the interior of the Rainville Building would undoubtedly feel an air of elegance and eliteness.

Even I, who didn’t have a single penny on me, felt like I’d become a billionaire just by walking through this place.

In the hallway, I saw many of the billionaires making their way to the central hall of the building, where the auction was about to begin.

I might have managed to sneak in here with my invisible coat, but there was no way I was going to participate in the auction with it on.

I glanced around, watching the billionaires in their neat shirts and suits milling about the hall.

But my attention was drawn to one of the billionaires heading towards the restroom.

I walked quickly, keeping a close eye on my steps, following him.

Entering the restroom, I waited in the corner until the billionaire urinated.

There was no one in the restroom at the time, just me and the man urinating, which meant this was the perfect moment.

The white-haired billionaire washed his hands a few seconds after finishing his urination.

Until now, he hadn’t noticed my presence, hidden by his invisible coat.

He hadn’t even heard my footsteps approaching him.

The second he stopped and looked at me, I darted toward him.

ZAAPP!

In just a split second, with the power of wind magic, I pulled the man over and put him to sleep with a tranquilizer.

The poor billionaire resisted, but only for a few seconds, as he dozed off and fell asleep.

And this was my chance.

I pulled the billionaire into one of the restrooms, then quickly took off my clothes and changed into the billionaire’s black shirt and jacket.

If I checked his pants, I’d found the billionaire’s wallet.

But it likely wouldn’t be useful for this auction, as it’s worth millions of dollars, something even billionaires would probably think twice about before throwing their money away.

Well, the moment I saw myself in the mirror, at least my appearance was fitting for this prestigious auction.

I immediately rushed out of the restroom, down the hallway of the Rainville building filled with waiters in neat suits, and into the main hall.

The guards had seen me enter the hall, but they didn’t care, thanks to my appearance.

"We’ll start this auction with a highly prized and highly anticipated gem: the Angel’s Tears Pendant...!"

The emcee’s voice rang out loudly as I entered the hall.

All the billionaires’ attention was focused on the main stage, where a beautiful and sexy girl in a sexy dress was displaying a glass case containing the Angel’s Tear Pendant.

When I looked closely, it truly matched the description in Lord Vermillion’s notes.

And after I checked again with my magic detection ability, I could sense an unusual flow of magic hidden within the pendant.

It was as if there was a flow of another elemental magic, not fire, wind, water, air, or lightning, but a rare magical element I had never encountered before: the holy element.

"We’ll start the Angel’s Pendant with 500,000 dollars...!"

The emcee’s call, leading the auction, immediately galvanized the billionaires into participating.

And it turned out to be quite a large number.

Looking around, I saw that almost half the billionaires had raised their hands to participate.

"600,000 dollars!"

"Okay...! The first 600,000 dollars...! Is there anything else...?!"

"800,000 dollars!"

"Ah...! The fight for the Angel’s Tear Pendant is heating up...! Eight hundred thousand dollars...! Is there more...?!"

"1,100,000 dollars...!

"Oh...! It doubled in just a matter of seconds...! The Angel’s Tear Pendant seems to be something only the chosen few in this world can own...!"

The auction price continued to rise significantly.

In less than five minutes, the original price of $600,000 had risen to $2,400,000!

Absolutely insane!

Do I have that much money?

As the price of the angel’s tear pendant soared, and billionaires began to withdraw, whose prices had risen beyond their expectations, a billionaire suddenly raised his hand and called out the most outrageous bid.

"Five million dollars...!"

"Oh...! Five million dollars from Mr. Dezy...! Hahahah...! You truly are the richest and most famous billionaire in this place...! Does anyone dare to bid more than $5 million...?!"

Suddenly, no more billionaires raised their hands to participate in the auction.

I overheard whispers among the withdrawing billionaires.

"Tch... Dezy is joining... If he joins, I won’t dare go any further. I still value my life...!"

"Yes...! Besides, the price is already too high, and it seems like only Dezy can afford something that big...!"

Hmm... from the whispers of the billionaires, it seems Dezy is indeed the most dangerous person in this city.

Dezy will use other means to seize the Angel’s Tear pendant if they insist on paying more than Dezy’s offer.

Seeing Dezy still sitting casually in his VVVIP lounge, accompanied by my ex-wife, Ela, makes me want to vomit.

That bastard Ela looked arrogantly at the auction participants, as if she were the highest among them all, even though in reality she was just following Dezy.

Hah... Dezy, Ela, you two may be able to act arrogant and haughty to the people of this world.

But you two won’t be able to stand up to me, who is from the world of magic: Atreus Vermillion.

The Black Star in my right palm pulsed, signaling that the full power to cast the time and dimension spell was now available and ready to be used.

This was the perfect moment to execute my plan to seize the Angel’s Tear Pendant.

While I knew it would take time, I was confident I could provide the necessary time until the moment to seize it arrived.

I plucked up courage and raised my hand high.

Suddenly, the host and the billionaires turned their attention to me.

I saw Dezy and Ela staring at me sharply, as if they couldn’t believe I was here, dressed in the fine clothes and shirt of a billionaire.

And at that moment, I shouted out loud how much I was willing to pay to fight Dezy for the Angel’s Tear Pendant.

"I’ll buy it for eight million dollars...!"
