Chapter 824 - Brazen

"200 million going twice…"

"200 million going thrice…"

"Sold."

The auction continued at a fast rate. Within an hour, they managed to sell more than 100 items.

Even with this kind of price tag, there were still not many competitors. Most of the stuff they had auctioned were Material Cards.

Theo maintained his silence after a while, watching the movement from the people around them.

So, Theo waited a bit more until item 148th.

"We've arrived at the last stage. From now on, there is a qualitative leap in the item's grade, and I'm sure that all of you have come here to buy these things."

Everyone, who was bored of the auction, had a change of expression. They had finally arrived at this stage.

Maya smirked. "It's time."

"Miss seems to be planning to beat some asses." The Mythical Rank Expert smiled, noticing the difference in Maya's face.

"Mhm? What's she going to do?"

"Who knows. It depends on the situation." The Mythical Rank Expert shook his head. "I've been accompanying Miss Maya for auctions, so I believe she's aiming for someone else. All I need to do is to act accordingly."

"Hoh? This auction seems to be getting interesting soon." Theo smiled, watching what they were planning to do.

"The first item will be this!" The man showed the image of a Skill Card.

"It turns out to be an A Rank Skill Card…" Theo widened her eyes as his expression became serious. This was what he was waiting for, so he obviously wished to get this card.

"Skyfire Skill is an A Rank Skill. The starting price is 100 million, and every bid can't be lower than one million!"

Suddenly, Maya shouted without hesitation, making every single person hear her words.

"200 million!"

"!!!" All of them were bewildered, their bodies were shaken, and their eyes turned to the second floor.

Maya completely obliterated this round with an increase of one hundred times the minimum bid.

"That's Maya Hamilton…"

"She often beats people up with her own bid."

"Is she planning to wreak havoc in this place again?"

"She has been quiet this whole time, but it seems she truly comes here for some items."

Suddenly, the middle-aged man announced. "201 million."

The bidder was a young man in the center of the second floor.

"I'm not afraid of your provocation." The man snorted.

"Hoh?" Maya smirked and raised it again. "Don't be such a pussy. Increasing only one million at a time? If you want to save money, how about leaving this hall right now?"

"300 million!"

"301 million!"

"400 million!"

"401 million." The man shook his head. "Your cheap provocation won't work on me. If you have the money, feel free to spend it all you want."

"500 million!" Maya snorted. "That's what I'm planning to do."

"501 million."

"Since cheap provocation doesn't work, then let's speed up this auction!" Maya laughed and declared out loud. "1.1 billion."

"!!!" All of them widened their eyes, never expecting to see Maya bidding such a specific number.

"If you're planning to bid like that, why don't you just go to a normal shop?"

"Shut up. I spend my money how I want! Besides, I don't break any rules. Don't come up with such a sorry excuse. You're embarrassing yourself." Maya snorted.

The man fell silent and stopped bidding.

"1.1 billion going once."

"Going twice."

"Going thrice."

"Sold!"

The Mythical Rank Expert beside Theo smirked and informed him. "That specific number is to make the other party think this is her limit. Even if he purposely raises the bid, he'll unnecessarily win the bid. The price is about right, and it serves its purpose well. And Miss Maya's reputation is already the worst, so this is the move that only she can do."

Theo listened to him while watching the auction.

The middle-aged man revealed the second skill card.

"This is Phoenix Fire Skill, an A Rank Skill. The starting price is 100 million and every bid can't be lower than 1 million."

Without hesitation, Maya raised the bid to an insane level. "One billion!"

"!!!"

"Maya Hamilton!" The man shouted her name. The anger was reflected on his face. Even other people were annoyed that someone destroyed the auction's peace.

"Shut up, talk with money. Are you going to raise the bid? Are you not? If you're not, fuck off!" Maya harrumphed and looked at the middle-aged man who was also glaring at her. "What? Want to kick me out? I am helping you, so you don't talk too much. Your throat… is it sour?"

The middle-aged man clenched his fists and refrained himself from saying anything. Just like she said, if they had the money, they could simply bid again, restoring the auction atmosphere to normal.

But in order to do that, they needed to have the money first. And just like she said, the auction became extremely fast.

At the same time, doing this would also result in Maya spending an unnecessary amount of money since she purposely bid it to a very high level from the start.

And surprisingly, someone picked the fight. She raised the bid again. "1.01 billion."

"1.1 billion." Maya shrugged, not caring about this one hundred million.

"1.11 billion."

"1.2 billion." Maya gritted her teeth.

"1.21 billion."

Suddenly, the Mythical Rank Expert walked to her and whispered something.

Maya suddenly gritted her teeth as her anger filled her heart. It was clear for anyone to see her emotion.

"1.22 billion!" Maya surprisingly bid only a bit more.

"!!!" Everyone widened their eyes, thinking this was Maya's limit.

"Congratulations!" The woman smiled and stopped bidding, letting Maya take the win since she paid one hundred million more than the previous one. This was enough for her.

"Sold!"

"The third skill is the Golden Beetle King Guard Skill. The starting price is 100 million, and every bid can't be lower than one million."

Maya raised her stick and opened her mouth. However, she didn't speak for a few seconds as though she had an internal conflict.

"500 million."

In the end, she only increased it to this level.

"501 million."

"550 million."

"551 million."

Obviously, with such a situation, many people started to pick on her, showing her that this auction wasn't her place to run rampant.

Little did they know, they had gradually fallen to Maya's scheme.
