"This is the Auction House?" Drew observed the large building before him after stepping out from a black sedan. Besides him was Tom, looking beautiful in a cocktail dress. She wore red heels and had red lipsticks. Her face had light make-up, further accentuating her natural beauty. Standing in the midst of a public area, it was natural that she attracted a lot of attention, mostly from the males. —[Ping!]—[You have received +5,400,000 deci points] "Eh?" Drew beamed when he saw the Deci Points alert. It would seem that he had successfully bought all 70 million shares of Silver Eagles inc... "Huh?" an advanced looking man who seemed to be in his early sixties hummed a solemn tune as he watered some vegetables in a small garden using a water can. He wore tracksuit and although his face looked advanced with wrinkles, his posture was upright and his countenance seemed to be beaming with youthful vigor. One look and one would know that he wasn't an ordinary old man. Ping Just then
"This place is cramped like hell" Aiden frowned as he twisted his way towards the mammoth crowd, with Tom besides him.They were currently at the lower floor which was a spacious hall. However even though the hall was spacious, it was jam packed due to the mammoth crowd inside.This came as a shock to Drew, considering the fact that he had to pay a a deposit of 5 million dollars per person for him to attend the Auction.This deposit was something that all enterees had to pay. According to the Staffs of the Auction House, it was a proof to show that they were not paupers.In the past, there had been some mischievous paupers who had sneaked their way in and messed up with the Auction, bidding above their budgets and driving eligible buyers away. That day, the Auction House suffered from a huge monetary loss and the Management of Silver Eagles inc were so distraught that a majority of the shareholders and executives voted for such a rule to be implemented."That is to be expected. Perha
"But.." Loveth's voice rang in the midst of the rowdy atmosphere. "..The Logia Incense before you is a cheap imitation of the real deal" "Just as I thought " Drew smirked inwardly, looking like he had expected such an end. When the audience heard that the Logia Incense about to be auctioned off wasn't the original, it was like a pail of cold water was just poured on their head, dampening their optimism. Sensing the abrupt change in the audience mood, Loveth picked up her pace. "However, this Incense was the life creation of Saint Augustine Xolo" "Saint Augustine Xolo was a Pro Class Silver tier Divine Enchanter before his death who was just half a step closer to becoming a Gold tier Divine Enchanter.. After reading an ancient records about Emperor Mulatto and his mystical Incense, he became obsessed and shut himself in to create a replica.." "He spent ten years non stop, trying to create a replica as he shut himself away from the world. Alas when he finally succeeded, his bod
"Special Guest F bids hundred million. Are there any more bids?" Loveth announced. Just then, a voice from the lower floor rang with confidence. "200 million!?" Ehh?! Everybody's attention instantly fell on the new bidder, or specifically; Drew. "What are you doing!" Tom whispered at Drew, feeling uncomfortable at the stares they were receiving. "I'm bidding" Drew shrugged. . . "Sister-in-law! that's him! that's the guy!!" meanwhile at a VIP section, Jimmy was screaming at the top of his lungs as he pointed at Drew from above. "What's the fuss about?" although Priscilla was unhappy, she masked it with a good-natured smile as she asked. "That's the guy who made me lose the chance to get signed into BlueFace records!" Jimmy gnashed his teeth as hatred flashed in his eyes. "He's the one who ruined my music career before it even started. Sister-in-law you have avenge me!!" Priscilla has the urge to face palm herself at her brother-in-law's narrow-mindedness If th
"Preposterous!! How dare you careless bid for such an item? Do you think this place is a play-ground!!" somebody in the VIP lounge could no longer hold themself, lashing out at Drew. The whole hall became quiet with everybody present eager to see how Drew would react. "I don't know whoever just said that but a kind warning from me.. you can eat whatever you want, but can't be careless when you spit out trashy allegations like this without any solid proof" Drew replied calmly, shocking everybody at the auction event silly. Of all the responses they had anticipated, they never saw this this one coming. This young man sure was impulsive, talking to someone from the VIP lounge in such a manner. Although the identity of the VIP guest who fired the accusations was unknown, for that person to be at the VIP lounge meant they were big shots in the society. As such, the gazes Drew started receiving was one of pity and sympathy. Some of those who were even seated with him began to distanc
"Question!!" A ViP member's voice boomed throughout the hall. It was unknown who spoke out, but decorum ensued. "Although what you said about this Budhi Willow tree is true, don't forget they it takes eighty years to mature.. as such, there isn't much value in purchasing this seed" Many people present at the Auction event nodded in agreement. Indeed although the Budhi Willow tree was a Spirit Item, it took far too long to cultivate. Waiting eighty long years to finally reap the friuts of their labor? not many people could afford to be so patient. "Indeed. However, won't it be nice to be remembered by your offsprings after you leave the red dust, for the charitable deed of rearing a Spirit Item such as the Budhi Willow tree? you'll go down in history and become a legendary ancestor in the hearts of your offsprings, down to the tenth generation " Hearing Loveth's words, many of the people present rolled their eyes. Become a legendary ancestor? tch. What they cared about was the p
"Perhaps it is time to end this farce" Drew laughed after hearing the other party's bid. Just as he wanted to open his mouth, his competitor from the VIP lounge further added. "I'd like to implore the brother below to step back and give me face. This item has taken a liking for my Red Canyon Sect.. if you do, you'd be sure to become a good friend of the Red Canyon Sect". "Red Canyon Sect?!" Tom's eyes sudden shot up as if she had just heard something terrifying. "What is it?" Drew noticed that there was something wrong upon noticing her body language. "F-Fortfeit the bid!" she urged him, in a trembling voice. "The.. The Red Canyon Sect is an existence that you shouldn't dare mess with!" Seeing her this frightened, Drew frowned. Was the Red Canyon Sect that well known? how come he didn't know of it? "Tch. Looks like it is a powerhouse outside of Amelia's scope of knowledge" he came to this conclusion. "It's best to not go around offending them if I know nothing about them" he
Twenty minutes wasn't a long duration and soon, it elapsed. Since the break was now over, the Auction participants began to lessen their rowdiness as they waited for Loveth to headline the Auction. Some minutes later, the curtains opened up, revealing Loveth as she cat-walked into the podium. "Welcome once again to the second and final phase of today's Auction event!!" she announced in her usual lovely and inspiring voice. "I can see that there are a lot of you here looking refreshed and expectant. Without much further ado, let the event commence" As soon as she said this, two of the staffs from the Auction House walked up the stage, pulling a show glass from behind them. "Here is a little spoiler before I unveil this item to be auctioned off" Loveth coughed lightly. "If you know you are a lady here, a loving husband or a doting boyfriend, then this item is a must" Upon hearing Loveth's vague words, the interest of everybody at the Auction Hall was piqued, causing them to inten
"Why won't you accept the business proposal? I mean.. it would be in your favor right? you'd have the chance to forge a relationship with my master. Don't tell me you are the short sighted kind of person" this time, Drew no longer sounded confident as his palm became sweaty. "I know that. But if you keep on acting like you have all the winning cards in your pocket, then I'd have to decline. Don't think you can fool me. This is most likely a test given to you by your master so he won't be involved in it unless he sees tangible results. Isn't that right?" Loveth scoffed. "Uhhmm. R-Right " Drew nodded awkwardly. "Well, I think I would be able to improvise then. I'll accept your business proposals " "Really?" hearing that the other party had accepted, Drew's eyes sprang up with joy. With the full support of Silver Eagle Auction House, it would only be a matter of time before he dominates the Herbal market of North Heights. However Loveth's next words dampened his short termed exc
Giving Drew one long look like as if trying to read what was going on in his mind, Loveth collected the jade bottle from him before proceeding to uncork it. And when she did, the whole office became encased in a thick but rich pleasant scent. "This.. This is herbal adorant!" Her eyes lit up in amazement. Although she wasn't a Divine Physician herself, as the manager of Silver Eagles Auction House, it was only natural that she'd be in the company of a few Divine Physicians once in a while. She had even watched some of them brew medicines and according to them, only highest grade medicines could emit a wonderful scent in the air, called adorant. "Looks like you are well informed" Drew chuckled, while inwardly feeling shocked. After all, it was only after he had upgraded the skill *Ancient Shamanic Medicine* to the max did he finally knew what adorant meant in the field of medicine. "Judging by the intensity of the adorant being emitted.. this is a high quality medicine. Were y
"Eh?" Drew stared at the other party, unable to understand why she was rejecting him from meeting up with Loveth. "May I ask the reason why?" he asked. "Well, you are probably not from this city so you might not know this. This building is just one of the storehouses owned by Silver Eagles Auction House. It was only used to host the auction event days ago. After that, Madame Loveth returned back to the head office of Silver Eagles Auction House. I am the Manager of this store house. My name is Patricia Holmes" the chubby lady revealed. "Oh, I didn't know that" Drew nodded in understanding. "So where exactly is the headquarters located?".. "The young master called for me?" Currently inside a large balcony, a youngster sat comfortably on a throne like chair, sipping merrily from the glass of wine being fed to him by a female clad in scanty clothing. At his other side was another scantily dressed female feeding him chips while another scantily dressed female was was huddled in
"How long was I out?" Drew mumbled as he got up from the cold tiles glancing at the Jade bottle which was lying beside him. After brewing the medicine, he became so exhausted that he decided to take a nap to replenish his lost energy. However the nap ended up becoming a really long sleep. Picking up the jade bottle, he uncorked it and smiled in satisfaction when he saw the slightly purplish liquid inside. "I just have to hand this over to Loveth. I wonder what her reaction is going to be like when she learns of it's uses" he grinned, while carefully tucking the jade bottle inside his pocket. Leaving the refining room, he just happened to bump into Rosalie, clad in a school uniform. "Hm?" Rosalie's brows jumped in joy when she saw Drew. "You finally came out!" she beamed. "How long did I spend inside?" Drew inquired. "Two days. Big sis become worried and wanted to check up on you, however Mother forbade her from doing so. She was afraid that we would interfere with what you w
"Interesting. Did the young man really say that?" "Indeed father. And the most surprising fact is that he's so young. If I am not mistaken, he isn't past his mid twenties.. do you think he's the main deal or he was merely shooting off his mouth?" Currently inside a large study room, Old Man Benson and his Daughter; Loveth, sat together, occupying the only sofa in the study. Loveth had just finished recounting her meeting with Drew to her father. She wanted to seek his guidance on the matter. "What do you think?" Old Man Benson smiled as he asked his daughter of her opinion. "I really don't know whether I should believe him or not. After all from his words, he was hinting that he was going to brew the 'amazing product' " "But he's just too young. There's no way he can match up to Medicine Priest Harland's expertise which has been honed through many years of experience.." "But some how, my instincts keeps telling me to trust him" she sighed. "So that means this is a conflict be
After breakfast with the Mick Family, Drew headed towards the Medicine Refinement room he had used the previous day to brew the antidote for Mr. Mick's Sun Curse. When he arrived there, he was met with the sight of packaged boxes neatly arranged. These were the ingredients that he had requested from Loveth the previous day. "Let's get to work" he cracked his knuckles as he took in a deep breath before he began opening the packaged boxes. . . When Boss Jay exited his mansion, he was met with a shocking sight. Lying around helplessly were his underlings And the most scary part was that they were all bleeding from the severe injuries they had on their body. The whole premises of the mansion plunged into silence. The only thing that could be sensed in the air was the strong iron smell of blood as well as deep resentment. "So you are the boss of this place?" a baritone voice broke the silence at that moment, causing Boss Jay to tilt his head towards the direction from where t
Yawning heavily, Drew got up from the bed he had used to pass the night. Rubbing the dirt off the corners of his eye, he sighed deeply. He could still feel that his depleted martial energy had not yet been fully replenished. Looks like the Artic Soothing solution had taken much from him than he had anticipated. "I wonder if the packages have arrived?" he mumbled as he made his way towards the bathroom to freshen up... Old Man Benson was clad in tracksuit as he watered the vegetable plants in his garden at a steady pace. If an outsider came, they would be shocked to discover that this seemingly ordinary man was once one of the top big shots in North Heights, as well as the father of two of the most influential individuals in the city. Five minutes passed when he sudden sighed as he stopped what he was doing. "I wonder how long you are going to keep standing there eh?" he slowly said. "Heh. Is it a crime to watch my dear father as he goes about his business?" a pearl of laughte
Although this might sound hypocritical but I am really sorry for not updating for weeks. I was too busy with my other new book The Vampire System that I neglected this one and I am truly sorry for that. Anyways, I am here to announce I am back in business and hope to update daily. As an apology, I will be dropping two free chapters. Yes! You won't need to use coins to unlock the two chapters. I hope you all forgive me for my inconsistency. You don't deserve it. The same applies to my other Book The Centillionaire Heir.. Oh, and don't forget to check out my other Book The Vampire System.. And don't take the name to heart, it mostly has the theme of an urban fantasy with Hero like People known as Sentries.. just give it a read.. you won't regret it. Plus it has daily updates as well!
"How was it?" Currently the whole Mick family were gathered around Mr Caleb lying on a white bed in his room, with eager expressions. "What are you saying Rosalie? your father just drank the medicine. There's no way he would suddenly recover, right?" Although it sounded like a chastisement, Mrs. Mick was actually asking of Drew's opinion. "Sigh. The Sun Curse is a deadly ailment" Drew who was standing a few feets away, holding an empty bowl, sighed. "Although the antidote I brewed was a powerful one, Mr. Mick won't recover instantly. He still needs two days worth of rest before he can return back to normal. " "I'd advise that you give him his space during those two days. Not only that, ensure to change his diet.. he shouldn't eat meat or anything that was cooked or stir fried" he advised. "But my dad hates vegetables" Tom frowned with worry. "Well, then he has to learn how to enjoy eating them. Although he can substitute vegetables with fruits " Drew replied. "Thank you ver
