It was not difficult for Jennifer to note that Jason had caught the eyes of the authority of the auction house.
She also realised that the Devir knew what Jason had done before..
Thus, she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable about how things progressed.
Yet, looking at him, she was unable to process how he, someone with such a foolish smile, could be terrifying enough to make a Ascendion stage prodigy retreat!
'How can someone be as weird as him?' She thought only to shake her head as her focus returned back to the Devir.
'He won't do anything to Jason, I hope.'
It was already weird that the Devir refrained from commenting about the incident, but eyeing Jason made Jennifer even more uncomfortable.
Jason's aura couldn't have attracted the Devir because it was similar to the Aeus' aura technique.
Rather, his Stigma, the curses, and the Chaos attribute were most likely what caused the Devir's to be suddenly interested in Jason.
Even if the Devir didn't say a word, Jennifer could read the Devir's gaze as his eyes had that excited look which most powerhouses got on seeing potential disciples.
Because of that, she didn't hesitate to take a step closer to Jason as she said in a loud and clear voice.

Using the City Lord's name was Jennifer's way of sending a message to the Devir, that Jason was Luna's disciple and was clearly 'off limits' to the Devir. The small trick seemed to work extremely well.
Yet, what Jennifer didn't notice, was something Jason didn't miss out on due to his Emperor Eyes that were still utilised- an extremely weird reaction.
Instead of reacting to Jennifer's words that clearly astonished him, his eyes had been drawn to the Devir, whose entire body had radiated with a sudden surge of interest and died down, only to be replaced with an equally sudden sensation of disappointment.
This was what the Emperor Eyes clearly showed, making him feel as if something was off.
He was overjoyed with the Spiral Spirit Egg in his hand, but the Devir's reaction and his gut feeling were telling him that something was off.
Nevertheless, he had to put on a charade.
Thus, he turned towards Leo and Miranda as he tried to make amends.
"I'm sorry for my earlier behavior. I noticed what you two did, but I hated it to the core, which is why I lost control over my emotions and actions. I hope we can forgive each other and have no bad blood!"
That being said, Jason hoped that the situation wouldn't escalate further, and both Leo and Mirana, who were lectured by their masters in their own respective way, nodded their heads without hesitation.
"Yes, let's forget it. I'm sorry too!" Miranda said, approaching him quickly.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})"Let's exchange our contact details as well! We might encounter each other sooner than expected, considering that your combat strength is already so high."
Jason was not sure what exactly Miranda meant by that, but Leo came forward too, trying to escape his master as he said,
"I sincerely apologise for making trouble too. Miranda is right, we might encounter each other in the future, so we should exchange our contact information!"
Nodding his head without knowing what exactly they wanted his contact details for, he simply handed them his messenger card, only for them to lay their own messenger card on top of his.
Through this, exchanging contact information was easily done, and when Jason got his card back, he had two new contacts.
He was not sure if that was really the correct way to handle the situation, but it was clearly better than ending the bi-annual auction event with bad relationships of prodigies.
As such, avoiding problems was the best for him to do.
Furthermore, Jason had yet to understand Leo because he had been acting nicely in the beginning, only to turn serious and angry the moment he touched him.
This had been a little act of show-off, but Jason was still not sure about the Aeus Prince's true behavior.
Because of that, he didn't say anything after their contact details were exchanged, which gave him the chance to revert his entire focus back to the Spiral Spirit Egg.
Both Leo and Miranda had been interested in knowing the reason behind his purchase of the Spiral Spirit Egg, but Jason didn't answer that question.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})Instead, it was fortunate that he was able to avoid this question because he had no satisfying answer to give them except the truth.
Even though he wanted to, saying 'I just felt like it' was not an answer Jason could state because it would sound stupid to use his entire fortune on something 'he felt like owning'.
The truth was something completely different, but he didn't want to tell it to anyone who was around him.
Jennifer was the only exception but she had already comprehended the majority of his abilities and race's traits.
That was because they were often together, and owing to the fact that Artemis, Petri, and even Solaris loved to cling to Jason.
As such, despite liking the customised soul world much better than the previous version that had nothing but barren lands, they would rather spend time with Jason outside it.
He knew about this, but unfortunately, it was not exactly safe for them to be outside the soul world at all times.
Not only did it attract the attention of others, but it was simply an inconvenience for both him and the soulbonds to be close to each other in specific situations, such as sparring, his practice in the three auxiliary occupations, and much more.
After exchanging contacts, Jennifer bid farewell to the other powerhouses before leaving while dragging Jason outside, who was holding the Spiral Spirit Egg with his other hand.
While leaving, almost all powerhouses looked at them as the old woman squinted her eyes.
"His stigma is definitely not artificial…" She said, having realised the crux about Jason's secret identity, while the old man, who was standing next to her, could only nod his head.
"Not only that, but he didn't even try to control his aura, which adjusted to his emotions. So, he has a natural manifested aura too!"
In the end, there were many more things that made the powerhouses feel curious and interested in Jason, but Leo, who had heard his master's comment, couldn't help but add,
"His eyes were the most terrifying…If I sensed it correctly, he harbors curses which he can use through his eyes…He almost broke through my mind's protection barrier!"
This seemingly simple statement caused the old woman to look at Leo, all the traces of the previous fury wiped off of her face as she remarked,
"Maybe…it was better that you two tried forcing him to reveal his hidden traits… we have to be careful about his future growth… It's good that you got his contact information as well.
If you ever want to become the Crown Prince and change your race's behavior and mindset with respect to other races, you need strength…and strong comrades!"
Hearing his master's rational tone, and the fact that it might not have been a mistake to figure out who Jason was, and what made him so unique, Leo couldn't help but feel weird.
He had just been lectured, but now that his master had calmed down, she was very rational with her thought process.
In the end, she could calm down mostly because the authorities responsible for the bi-annual event of the auction house didn't seem to bother about the incident that had happened.
As such, it had become much easier for her to calm down, and analyse the situation along with Jason's combat prowess, his aura, eyes, the stigma, and so on, with a rational mind.
The final conclusion was obvious- Jason was extremely talented, and blessed to be born with such magnificent traits.
Owing to that, it was better to befriend someone of that caliber instead of ruining all possible relationships!
The old man had the same opinion as Leo's master, and he also nodded his head, only to add,
"He is probably not even from Manyr…"
