He immediately took out a ragged cloth from the Space Ring. It was printed with a blurred map and had paintings of scenery on it.
Austin had bought the shabby piece of cloth for a million of average vital energy crystals at the Ganges Auction House in the Peace Town.
According to the host at the auction house, the cloth was a clue about the Dark Bone Gloomy Fire.
But for a long time, Austin hadn't been able to figure out that hidden message.
He knew this cloth might be a map.
However, the scenery was not clearly painted and instead was blurred.
What was worse, there were neither words nor any signs on its surface.
It was almost impossible for him to find the Dark Bone Gloomy Fire only with that piece of worn-out cloth. He didn't know where to start at all.
So Austin had assumed that the piece of cloth was not the complete one––there must be something missing!
The only way to find the Dark Bone Gloomy Fire was to find other missing pieces of that fabric.
He didn't expect that the hints about the Dark Bone Gloomy Fire would be sold at an auction in Graystone City.
Numerous thoughts and possibilities flooded Austin's mind.
'Is it possible that the information about the Dark Bone Gloomy Fire sold at Graystone City happened to be the missing part of his ragged cloth?' he thought.
Maybe he would know where the Unearthly Fire was if he pieced those two fabrics together.
Austin swelled with anticipation at the mere thought of that possibility.
He then immediately decided to take part in the auction.
"When will the auction in the Graystone City be held?"
Austin asked that leader.
"Fifteen days later," that man answered.
Austin's eyes twinkled as he flashed a cheeky smile.
"Well, we are going to attend this auction.
Get yourself prepared.
We can't let this opportunity slide," Austin told that man.
Then, he summoned his more than thirty servants and the two sisters from the City.
The servants, Emma, and her sister Debby saw the eleven warriors at the Astral Realm from the Wolf Gang stand gravely in front of Austin.
At the same time, Austin sat leisurely with a dreamy look on a chair at the center of the meeting hall.
Those people were shocked to realize that they were now in the meeting hall of the Wolf Gang.
However, Tyson and the others quickly caught up with what was going on, while Emma and Debby were still in the state of shock.
They were astonished to see Austin relaxed and talked casually while the leader of the Wolf Gang and the eleven warriors at the Astral Realm were respectful to him.
What shocked them more was that Austin sat and those warriors stood.
The scene made these two girls dizzy, not knowing what was going on as everything looked bizarre.
"Emma, what happened? Am I dreaming?
How come I have the feeling that he is the leader of the Wolf Gang?"
Debby whispered to Emma while still looking skeptical at Austin and the rest of the Wolf Gang.
"Debby, he is difficult to read. He's very powerful, and his strength may be far mightier than we can imagine.
Such a strong warrior commonly has a volatile temper and doesn't like others to node into his affairs.
So, you'd better not inquire about him or be too curious. It will not be good for us.
There is only one thing we should care about––let him take us to the Barren Mountain.
Remember that," Emma said in a low voice.
She tried her best not to sound loud so as not to be heard by anyone.
However, Austin had extraordinary spiritual senses, so he clearly heard what they were talking about.
He sighed silently. It seemed that Emma was still afraid of him.
He then told the servants and the two girls his plan to go to the Graystone City and take part in the auction.
"Well, let's go to Six Master City first. Show me around your hometown then, Tyson."
Noticing Tyson look so sad, Austin didn't have the heart to reject him and instead granted his request.
"Thank you so much!" Tyson yelled.
He was obviously ecstatic with Austin's consideration.
After a while, Austin gestured to end the meeting.
"That's it. Everyone, please prepare to pack up.
We'll start off soon," Austin commanded.
Several hours later, Austin, the servants, and the two girls left the Wolf Gang and headed for their first destination.
Austin let the leader of the Wolf Gang and two warriors at the preliminary stage of Astral Realm accompany him.
Meanwhile, the other eight warriors were left to guard the Wolf Gang stronghold.
Those important members of the group were now his servants.
So the Wolf Gang would definitely belong to him.
Austin would, by no means, let it dissolve and perish under his leadership.
He didn't use the Dragon and Phoenix Chariot this time because he wanted to spare divine vital energy crystals.
Instead, he flew all the way with the others.
About six days later...
A medium-size city appeared ahead of them.
Its walls were old and dilapidated, covered with green moss. Time had evidently left its marks on the city.
It was easy to know that the place had a long history.
"Master, that is the Six Master City ahead!"
Tyson was both excited and nervous as he caught a glimpse of his hometown after a long time.
