Wizard, I Have Another World

Chapter 389 The Source of Extraordinary Power

Even at night, the university is still brightly lit, with students studying late into the night watching the busy firefighters.

A dark shadow darted along the ground and disappeared into a gloomy corner.

The black man, Sidra, emerged from among them, glancing somewhat fearfully at the location of the experimental building.

"To lure us in, the Night's Watch sent out four captains. The rat is doomed this time."

He shook his head:

"Professor, give up!"

"Barrow has apparently joined the Night's Watch."

"Give up?" Jim's face twisted in a grimace.

"Do you know what I sacrificed for what's on Barrow? I will never give up!"

"The dark wizard doesn't support your actions. If he finds out, we might all be finished," the black man, Sid, sighed.

"For the sake of our past relationship, this is the last time I'll help you."

"professor!"

Sometimes you have to learn to let go.

That being said, he could see Jim's persistence; the other man was like a mad scientist in a movie, willing to do anything for his research.

"I'm not helping you anyway." Shrugging, Sid took a step back and merged into the darkness.

"Professor, take care!"

Jim stood there with a cold expression, his eyes flickering for a moment, when a certain figure in his field of vision made his expression change slightly.

Trish...

Jim, as a father, lacked sufficient care and affection for his daughter.

Since getting involved in his current research project, he has neglected everything else, including maintaining his family relationships.

His wife left him as a result, and his daughter Tracy had to learn to be independent at a very young age.

sometimes.

Jim also felt indebted to his daughter, but he was equally clear that he had dedicated himself to science.

There is no way around it.

"Tracy!"

Jim's eyes flickered; he had made up his mind.

He also knew that Barrow liked Trish, and if he made good use of his daughter, he would have a chance to win Barrow back.

"clatter……"

The sound of crisp footsteps came from not far away.

Jim instinctively turned his head and saw a middle-aged man dressed as a gentleman, leaning on a cane, walking towards him.

He recognized the man's appearance from the file.

Professor Carl, who took over his lab, was a very talented researcher, but unfortunately, his research direction was different from his own.

"Professor Jim."

Carl approached and stopped:

"I've heard your name a lot lately, and it's great to finally meet you today."

"You can see me?" Jim frowned.

"Extraordinary perception..."

His body has been specially modified to possess second-tier extraordinary abilities, and his mental power can distort the perception of others.

So even if he stands in a crowd, no one can detect his presence if he so chooses.

The person who came,

He was clearly spotted.

"Yes."

Karl smiled faintly:

"I also have some special abilities."

"I see..." Jim said knowingly, his face expressionless.

"What's up?"

"It's all over now. Professor Jim should probably let go of his obsession." Carl glanced back.

"Returning to family life is a good option."

"Hmph!" Jim snorted coldly upon hearing this.

"That's impossible!"

"Is that so?" Karl sighed softly.

That's a real shame.

As she spoke, she stepped forward and, under Jim's puzzled and shocked gaze, gently patted the top of his head.

"Bang!"

The terrifying force was like a raging river rushing down, directly shattering every part of Jim's body.

Jim swayed and slowly collapsed to the ground.

The end of the field of vision.

It was as if her daughter, Tracy, sensed something and turned around to look, then shook her head and turned away again.

"what?"

Karl raised an eyebrow, feeling a familiar aura flow into his body.

Source quality +451

How could that be?

Only beings associated with deities can provide source matter. Jim clearly has no faith, so why does he have it?

With a furrowed brow, Karl looked down at the corpse at his feet.

"The extraordinary power of this world..."

"Is it related to deities?"

"Professor Carl!"

"Blaze!"

The two shook hands and walked side by side.

"Bambi Auction House is one of the top ten auction houses in the Federation and has the backing of the Federation military."

"In Fast City, Bambi Auction House holds three auctions a year, and each time there are good items for sale."

Blaise said as he walked:

"Speaking of which, BIT Group also has its own auction house, but the business isn't doing very well."

"Hmm..." Karl nodded thoughtfully.

Do all ten major auction houses have their own powerful backers?

"Yes," Blaise replied.

"You can't do this kind of business without connections; many thieves are eyeing those priceless auction items."

When the word "Robin Hood" was mentioned, he smiled subconsciously, not with contempt, but simply because he found it amusing.

Karl echoed with a faint smile.

It seems Blaise hasn't really been exposed to the supernatural world, even though his 'girlfriend' is a vampire.

I heard...

After finding a seat and settling in, Blaise leaned close to Carl's ear and whispered:

"Before the official auction, a secret pre-auction event will be held, which is only open to those who have been invited."

"The really good things are always taken by someone else first."

"Really?" Karl straightened his clothes.

"You still believe these rumors?"

"I didn't believe it at first," Blaise sighed.

"But I was told this by a good friend I've known for many years, and I did see something appear in the pre-sale stage some time ago, but it didn't appear in the subsequent auction."

"It's a crystal skull, carved from a single piece of crystal. I was captivated the moment I saw it, you..."

"You have no idea how strange that feeling is, like I have to get it no matter the cost."

Karl raised an eyebrow.

He didn't think Blaise was telling a story, so the only possibility was that it was an extraordinary object.

Auction houses will obviously collect items containing extraordinary power and prevent them from circulating in the market.

It makes sense to film the event first.

Only those with extraordinary powers and who have been exposed to the extraordinary world are qualified to participate in that kind of auction.

"pity!"

He sighed.

It's not that I feel sorry for Blaise, but rather that this impulsive decision might not yield any real results.

"when……"

With a crisp tapping sound, the auction began amidst the whispers of the crowd.

Blaise sat upright.

He came from a wealthy family and was a regular at these kinds of events.

I've long lost the novelty of the various items being auctioned; instead, I'm somewhat curious about Karl.

In just two or three years, this professor published several papers a year, becoming a top scholar in biological genetics.

Furthermore, they made a fortune by leveraging their research findings.

Unlike other scholars.

Professor Carl seemed to know how to enjoy life more; aside from necessary research, he spent most of his time traveling.

Just like today,

Few research scholars participate in such luxury goods auctions.

As each item was brought out for auction, it was snapped up one after another, while the two simply looked at them casually without making a move.

The real good stuff is yet to come.

"The next item is a necklace made of twelve gemstones, belonging to a noblewoman from four hundred years ago."

"It is said that the noblewoman had dozens of men in her life, each of whom was handsome and strong. Even in her later years, she was still favored by men and envied by many women."

"This necklace is one of her belongings..."

"Starting bid: £100,000!"

Karl slowly sat up straight.

He sensed the presence of extraordinary power in that necklace, and... there was a trace of divine aura.
