These were all baits set by the Grand Marshal of the Iris Legion.

Whoever buys them will be closely watched.

Leonard Churchill, however, did not care at all, raising his bid multiple times with an attitude showing he was determined to win the boy named "Ray" regardless of the price.

What slightly surprised him was that even though Ray was young, perhaps even younger than Leonard himself, he was a Sixth Order Card Master!

Moreover, during the auction, it was specifically introduced that this fellow had an exceptionally high Thunder Series talent.

The price had already risen to an outrageous level, several times higher than other Sixth Order slaves.

However, having spent time on the Southern Continent, Leonard knew what was going on.

On the Southern Continent, this was considered a supreme slave as they could be used as a "breeding stallion", resulting in offspring with very high Thunder Element Affinity.

Dragon Descendants had thoroughly researched bloodline inheritance.

Thus, Leonard raised the auction price several times with the managers of several large Mercenary Groups, attracting numerous glances.

Even some Iris Legion agents were deliberately raising the price to see if they could detect any flaws.

This made Lenny, monitoring from the shadows, feel a rollercoaster of tension, as he had not expected the auction price to be pushed so high.

If he had been in Leonard’s position, the first step of the plan would have been difficult to execute.

Fortunately, Leonard was wealthy and eventually secured the purchase.

....

Having been active on the Southern Continent for some time, Leonard’s disguised identity was flawless.

Throughout payment and handover, multiple stages were watched closely.

Leonard did not let any flaws slip.

He knew well that it wouldn’t be possible to rescue the person just like that.

The Iris Legion would have surely placed some special mark on the bait they dared to release.

Unless hidden within Ivan’s "belly", Ray’s mark would surely be sensed.

Moreover, if spatial methods were used now, some traces would be revealed prematurely. Certain Mysterious Types could investigate those traces.

Leonard did not intend to leave Sinless City without witnessing the ensuing excitement.

His double led the newly bought slave, Ray, around the city, eating and drinking wherever they pleased.

The Iris Legion could not detect any flaws in his disguise, so there was no danger.

The auction itself was meant to scatter bait, with people watching to see if anyone would come to the rescue.

After all, the illusion that a person could be rescued would only arise after they were sold.

Leonard’s actions were the optimal choice.

Similarly, he also hoped to see if he could make contact with individuals from the Orlan Royal Court through these people.

Lenny knew Leonard’s plan was risky, but it was the only rescue option he could think of.

After all, his original plan was the same.

After the auction, wait for the chaos in Sinless City five days later to rescue the person.

But a plan is just a plan.

He knew he couldn’t perform such a perfect disguise as Leonard did.

...

Time flew by.

Sinless City carried on as usual, bustling with activity.

The Iris Legion continued to throw out baits but saw no signs of the Orlan Royal Court taking the bait.

Leonard and his two companions stayed at Flood Gang, watching opera and occasionally wandering around, without any intention to trouble themselves with Titan Battle Armor.

Unknown to anyone, three days after the auction, a mysterious figure carrying an unremarkable Spell Clay Pot blended into a returning mercenary squad, passed the city’s faith screening without issue, and swaggered into Sinless City.
