"Have you ever participated in the demigod charity auction?" I asked Anna.

"No, my family is too poor to indulge in those things," Anna said calmly.

"Your family has five demigods that I know of. How can you be so shameless?" Anna's shamelessness stumped me. The Heatsend Royal Family rules the entire southern region. Just the yearly tax alone should overflow their treasury.

"Wyatt, you don't get it. The Southern region is underdeveloped and the poorest of all the five regions. Most of the tax we collect goes into maintaining the state. Some of it goes to the government in the central region, and what we have left is saved as emergency funds.

The southern region's circumstances are dire, but that's good for you. If not for that, my family would never go all out for the silver milk powder. Even with our background, we can out afford an all-out war with the world. But silver milk powder is the only hope to help the southern region catch up with other regions and even surpass them." Anna explained the southern region was one step away from bankruptcy. Making silver milk powder their only hope for revival.

"Still, if not you, someone in your family must have participated, just to keep the appearance," I asked

"Yes, my cousin did and bid for two diamond card eggs. Utter waste, for the cost of two SSS-rank cards, he won one SS-rank card and one S-rank card. Had I known he was that unlucky, I would have taken Ann. She seems to be blessed by luck." Anna got pissed how her cousin lost money in the auction.

"Well, look on the bright side and think about how many people the Charity will help." I tried to console Anna.

"What if it were your money?" It took one simple question for Anna to shut my mouth.

"..." I choose to stay silent, thinking, 'If it were my money, I would not send my cousin to gamble in my place. This way, at least, I would get to experience the joy of squandering money.'

"The worst thing is, that asshole Chris Chase won three SSS-rank cards in a row. All three of the card eggs he bid for were golden tiers.

Can you believe it? He bid for three golden card eggs in a row, and each one of them turned out to be an SSS-rank card. The crowd was baffled by his fortune. They called it the Ten Minutes Golden Luck.

Because he won three SSS-Rank cards from three golden card eggs within ten minutes, a fortunate stroke of luck." Anna whined about how her family made a loss in the charity auction, and her enemy prospered.

'Ten minutes?' For some reason, this stood out to me. So I hurriedly asked, "Anna, when did Chris Chase win the three golden card eggs? Time of his bid to be specific. Please be as accurate as possible. This is important."

"Huh, Give me a second. I will ask." Saying that Anna summoned her grimoire and massaged her people to inquire the exact time of Chris Chase's bids. Soon she received a reply which she narrated to me, "17:36, 17:39, 17: 42"

"Fock yeah!" I yelled in cheer. The time rewind started at 17:45, three minutes after the last bid, and went back in time for 10 minutes, precisely 17: 35, one minute before the first bid.

It seems that somebody couldn't let go of their greed to win three SSS-Rank cards at the cost of three S-rank cards. It is like buying gold for the price of copper. With such a haul, it is easy to get the media hopped up about it. No wonder he was listed in the top 10 searches of the grimoire network.

"Anna, did he bid for any other card eggs?" I asked, trying to gain more legitimacy for my theory.

"No, he bid just for those three card eggs and seemed to be pretty adamant about buying those three card eggs. And did not bid again. When asked why? He said he was lucky and did not want to test the patience of his luck further. WTF does it even mean? Such a pretentious stooge." Anna seemed bummed out as her enemy gained attention.

'Got him' hearing what Anna said, I was 90 percent sure that Chris Chase was the one behind or somehow related to the time rewind incident. Stupid idiot, he was too cheap to cover his track. Now it is going to cost him.

Earlier I wanted to meet him to punish him for the silver milk fraud case fiasco, but now I want to ask about his stroke of luck in the demigod clarity auction. Since the golden goose decided to mess with me, I don't mind making him obedient. By obedience, I mean hahaha…

"Wyatt, why are you giggling to yourself like a fool?" Anna asked in annoyance.

"Anna, you are my lucky star. Your information now saves me a lot of trouble. Let's hope it pans out." I yelled enthusiastically. I know there is a possibility that Chris Chase is not related to the time rewind event, but the chance of him being the one behind the time rewind and me getting my hands on his secret made me giddy. Chris Chase seems to be a lucky bastard no matter what he is hiding, I will make it mine.

"Oh, really? Then how are you going to reward me?" Anna's voice turned sluttery as her hands hugging my waist got tighter, and her bosom squeezed harder on my back.

"I thought you did not want our relationship to be transactional, and you would do your best to help me." I remind Anna of the cringe stuff she spoke about earlier.

"There is nothing transactional about this. I am happy that I could help you, and now you are happy and want to reward me as a show of appreciation."
