The Author's POV

Chapter 229

"Have you called for me sir?"

"Ah, Jeremiah, right on time"

"Yes?"

Putting the red book down, I smiled at Jeremiah who just entered the room. He was finally here.

'You probably have no idea that I already figured everything out, right?'

Seeing how carefree 'Jeremiah' was, I secretly shook my head.

In all fairness, I sort of understood why he was being carefree. The rock he had used to replace the one I had wasn't supposed to break as easily as it did.

The rock that Jeremiah had given me was in fact made of Voleum, a more inexpensive ore that although sturdy, did not hold a candle to Okluom.

Even then, normally someone like me wouldn't have been able to break it.

Voleum could only be broken by someone whose strength was around rank, which none of the people in the room were.

The only reason I could break the rock was because of the small ring on my finger. To be more precise, Angelica.

She was the main reason as to why I was late today.

Had it not taken me ages to convince her to turn into a ring, I would've never have been late to the meetup.

It was worth it though. Thanks to her I was able to confirm that Ivan had replaced the rock.

'If only he knew...'

The more I looked at Ivan, the funnier he became to me.

Just the carefree look he had on his face that said 'You'll never find out until it's too late' made me want to laugh out loud.

Jokes on him, I had a Viscount ranked demon on my finger.

Though she was keeping quiet and suppressing her energy, Angelica was a full blow Viscount ranked demon.

Exerting enough force to break the rock wasn't hard for her.

"Right, Jeremiah, I have a task for you"

Turning my attention back to Jeremiah, I casually glanced at the red book in my hand. Should be soon...

"Yes, please tell me exactly what I need to do"

Curtly replied Jeremiah as he bowed down slightly.

"I want you to..."

'”Bang!

"Who here is bidder 17?"

Before I could finish speaking, the door of the room abruptly opened. A high-pitched voice echoed across the room moments after.

"Huh?"

"What?!"

Startled by the sudden intruder, everyone abruptly turned their heads towards where the voice came from.

"Instructor Jeffrey!? what are you doing here?"

Emma shouted as she looked at Monica who had just entered the room.

'Angelica, suppress all of your demonic energy'

I urgently spoke inside of my mind. Angelica did not respond but I knew that she was doing exactly that.

'If everything goes according to the book, Angelica shouldn't get spotted yet', I thought, as I looked at Monica who had entered the room.

"Huh? It's you guys?"

Looking around the room in confusion, Monica had a surprised look on her face.

It was understandable, who would've thought that the mysterious bidder 17 she was so angry at was one of her students.
