I am back
"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
Minutes passed and the bidding war over the Moon Fairy pill didn't look like it was coming to an end. Unlike the other earlier items, the Moon Fairy pill had more competitors, even though the bidding prices were not that exorbitant when compared to its predecessors.Very soon, the bid had risen all the way to one Million. Although according to the spoilers Loveth gave out, males still chose to bid that high for the pill.Even though there was assurance of more of it being sold later in the future, no male wanted to give up. They wanted to look cool before their female partners. And so, the bids slowly began to inch all its way to two million."This isn't going to end anytime soon" Priscilla shook her head as she observed many youths heatedly shooting out bids amongst themselves.Surprisingly, nobody from the VIP lounge were yet to call out a bid. "Two Million!" Priscilla spoke into the mega phone, her voice resounding throughout the hall. "Look!" "A VIP guest finally called out a
