Chapter 508 House Mission Complete!
Only a few hours were left before the end of the third day, and the participants were still eagerly bidding against each other for the items.
At this moment, inside the VVIP Room No.84,
Eight dark gray demons were sitting haughtily while the oldest of them was bidding for a grade-3 talisman on the stage.
"Father, room no.90 belonged to the Eastern Moon Clan of the Moon Demon Tribe." A middle-aged demon told the old demon with a hint of contempt.
"Yet they still dared to bid against our magistrate clan? Hmph, they\'re overestimating themselves!" The old demon sneered as he increased the bid by a hundred thousand high-grade-2 Qi stones.
The six youths behind them also smiled with disdain.
The bid from room no.90 finally stopped at this moment, who kept bidding against them from the start.
Their scornful smiles grew, even more, when Lilly started to count.
"… and 4.9 million going thrice and sold!" Lilly announced.
The old man grimed disdainfully as he said, "See that? Our magistrate clan is far nobler than those muncher clans of the other Demon King Tribes. We have our own domains, and we won\'t need our Demon King\'s help to deal with our matters."
The other youths nodded in understanding with great pride.
The middle-aged demon smiled in satisfaction.
A knock sounded on their door.
"Come in." The middle-aged demon spoke.
A beautiful Auction Attendant appeared with a ticket in her hand as she said with a smile, "This is your item ticket."
"Here, there are five million Qi stones. You can have the rest." The old demon generously tossed a storage ring toward her.
He was on a brilliant moon after winning one item on the third day, despite continually fighting and losing many bidding wars all day long.
She quickly thanked them before she left after handing them the ticket.
Just as the door was closed, the old demon felt something as he took out a communication cube, which was blinking nonstop.
The middle-aged demon frowned slightly. "From the clan, why did they contact you, not me?"
"It\'s little first. He\'s just checking on us. Don\'t overthink things." The old demon merely smiled and activate the communicator without bothering to hide the conversation.
He was about to greet when a panicked voice rang, filled with rang and shame, "G-Grand Elder, w-we got… robbed!"
The smiles on everyone\'s faces suddenly stagnated, and those youths had this blank bewildered looked on their faces as if they just heard something impossibly absurd.
The elder frowned and berated, "Little First, you dare to play a prank on me? Do you need a beating?"
"I-I really wish it was just a prank, illusion, or a fucking dream…" His voice was filled with abhorrence and frustration as he didn\'t care who he was talking with or what he said, "I don\'t know how, but three degenerates got their hands on an extremely powerful formation and destroyed our protective formation and raised our home to rubble.
"If I don\'t have handed them the treasury, our legacy skills, and storage rings, they would\'ve killed our entire clan and raised our city to the ground. They were totally capable of such a thing since they had already turned our inner market into a graveyard before hitting our mansion!"
Everyone\'s eyes were wide open as if their eyeballs would fall at any moment.
\'Thud…\'
The middle-aged demon collapsed on the ground as his face was ashen and filled with disbelief.
As for the old demon, he felt a metallic taste in his mouth. While his heart was on the verge of exploding, through gritted teeth he said, "W-who…"
"Those decadents called themselves Moon Robbers. and they\'re the same bandit gang who we were ordered to detain but… put it on hold for the auction!" His voice was filled with regret.
"A mere bandit gang robbed you?!" The elder finally bellowed with extreme fury as blood trickled from the corners of his mouth as his eyes went bloodshot.
The only thing keeping him sane was the fifty percent of their wealth he took here, or he might\'ve really gone mad.
"I…" The voice was filled with mortification and resentment. He didn\'t know what to say because even he was at a loss just how this kind of thing happened.
"Handle the situation. I\'m coming back!" The elder calmed his boiling rage and close the communion.
He glanced at the middle-aged demon who had an ashen expression on his and said, "Don\'t bid on anything anymore. You must ensure our clan\'s youths get on the trail safely. Is that clear?"
The middle-aged demon finally snapped out of his daze and horridly stood up. "Let me go. You stay with them, father."
The old demon sternly shook his head and said, "Just stay here. Don\'t worry, as long as I\'m alive, no one can get away after stabbing us in the back."
His eyes turned deadly cold at this moment. "Besides, I\'m going to call in a favor from His Majesty. Those bandits and people behind them can\'t get away with this!"

Seeing those poor evaluation grades, Ace merely scoffed, "You and your high evaluation standards. I guess something never changes."
He claimed the rewards. He was eager to see those law fragments.

======
Ace looked at EXP and SP and wondered, \'Just how many they kill to accommodate this many EXP and SP?\'
Although he never told them not to kill others, he never expected them to kill so many on their first thievery.
\'That deathly trio. It seemed they forced their way through this thievery, and made it more like banditry. No wonder their evaluation was so poor.\' He couldn\'t help but smile wryly.
\'In the end, they were all desperate because of the system\'s punishment and didn\'t have time to learn more skills. I can\'t blame them for taking such measures.\' He sighed and stopped caring about it and commanded,
"I\'m claiming everything, as well as activating the house call. This thing can finally solve our communication problem, and it would be more reliable than these cubes, and add those house points to my house points state. I have more than enough TP for now."
The system instantly obeyed his commands.

======
Ace questioned while looking at those available law fragments eagerly, "How did I use these law fragments?"
"[Host just required to give the command, and the law fragment will be released. However, with the host\'s current cultivation state, a safety protocol has been placed.]
"[It would take the host 30 Days to absorb one law fragment. Afterward, the host required 30-day rest before absorbing another Law Fragment.]"
Ace couldn\'t help but frown, "So long?"
"[Th Host\'s law comprehension is too low while the host\'s mind is too fragile to comprehend law with law fragments continuously. That\'s why this safety protocol has been placed. As host breakthrough in higher realms, this protocol will be abolished eventually.]"
After the system\'s explanation, he didn\'t retort anymore.
Ace knew the law concept was something he shouldn\'t have come in contact with so early. But he had powerful skills that required law comprehension, which could make him extremely powerful.
That\'s why he longed for law comprehension, and the system made it happen as well. So, he should be thankful for that, not complaining!
At this moment, a new interface appeared in front of him all of a sudden,
