Chapter 106: Bidding Against Three Women (I)

"Morgan Pelora from the Pelora family who is also a 4th tier alchemist bid 950,000 spirit stones. Are there any other bidders?" Lady Seraphine shouted loudly while showing her alluring figure to attract buyers.

Some men start to nosebleed as they could no longer suppress their lust as they kept staring at Lady Seraphine.

"I bid 1 million spirit stones." Someone shouted and when the people realized who it was, they became more shocked.

"It's the young miss from the Camellia family, Daphne Camellia."

"Heh, this is going to be a good show. After all, it wasn't a secret that Daphne Camellia is always competing against Morgan Pelora."

"Sigh, such beauties that can only be admired from afar. Their status and influence are just too high for us to be able to match up with them."

As the group of young men smiled bitterly in depression, the auction continued to be excited when another voice echoed the room.

"I bid 1million and 10 thousand spirit stones." This voice belongs to Krista Dragoon.

"Another new bid. Are there any other bidders higher than 1 million and 10 thousand spirit stones?" Lady Seraphine shouted in excitement.

'So many big fish this time for the Luminous Wand. Please surpass at least 5 million spirit stones.' Lady Seraphine said inwardly as she waited for the next bidder.

However, she became disappointed when the two young ladies stopped bidding after Krista Dragoon.

The crowd wasn't surprised because Krista Dragoon belonged to the imperial family and despite their current predicament, they still have a higher status than everyone here.

Meanwhile, Zen was watching the scene calmly as he ponders if he should obtain the wand.

'What do you think Cecilia?' Zen decided to ask Cecilia for advice since she knew what is best for him.

A few moments later, Cecilia calmly replied, "You should buy it since you have mentioned this world phenomenal stuff with your body still containing a mana core. Thus, it isn't a bad thing to try and learn magic in this world before we ascend to the higher world."

Hearing the transmission from Cecilia, Zen nodded his head slightly in acknowledgment.

Since there were more ways to become stronger, it'll be a dumb move of him to not utilize everything.

Perhaps, he can even combine magic with spiritual qi and it could create a new cultivation technique or even a new era.

A new era where mages and true qi cultivators coexist together as they use magic and martial techniques.

Smiling wickedly when Lady Seraphine starts counting down, Zen can't wait to see the reaction of the crowd.

'Those ignorant youth might even piss their pants in horror if they see me bidding against the imperial family. Whatever, it's not like I care about them anyway.'

"1 million and 10 thousand spirit stones going twice!" Lady Seraphine continued counting down and sighing inwardly.

The next instant though, her mood became brighter when she saw a savior that will improve her commission.

"I bid 1 million and 20 thousand spirit stones." Zen raised his hand as he shouted aloud.

This time, Daemon Kaiso was stunned and stupefied by his action. 'Why is this brat going against the imperial family? Isn't the imperial family his supporter or is this a play to lower my suspicion?'

Daemon Kaiso was confused since he believed Zen to come from the imperial family to openly offend his family.

He has scratched out the possibility of the Camellia and Pelora family because there was no benefit for them in doing so. 

Since they were all equal and balanced so if he goes to war against one of the family, the last family will be getting all the benefits without lifting a finger.

Thus, Daemon Kaiso has concluded the culprit to be from the imperial family to bring his family down a notch but now he has to rethink his calculation again.

Krista Dragoon at this time also raised her eyebrow in surprise when she had someone bidding against her.

'Seems like this is indeed a variable. To think he would bid against me and here I was hoping to rope him into my side.' Krista Dragoon sighed inwardly as she looked at Zen.

Zen calmly smiles back at her when he notices her gaze on him. "Sorry, but this is an auction house so status has nothing to do with anything. Since I'm interested in this wand as well, the highest bidder gets it."

Krista Dragoon nodded her head and replied, "You're right about that. If this is a place where people use their status to win their bidding then it's no longer an auction."

She said calmly and continued, "Since we're both interested and the other two young miss from their respective family also want a piece of this wand, then let's see who is wealthier than the other."

Zen couldn't help but praise her conduct and speech so he clapped his hand in approval. 

'I was expecting an arrogant woman since she's from the imperial family but to think she was a humble type.' Zen said inwardly as he confirmed his wealth with Cecilia again.

Although getting the wand is good but if the price goes to an astronomical value then he would just give it up. There was no guarantee that there would be zero buyers that are interested in the Soul Replenishing herb.

When Lady Seraphine resumed her announcement of the current price, Morgan Pelora and Daphne Camellia re-enter the bidding war.

Since Krista Dragoon has stated that one should not use their status to forcefully suppress others. They would not have to worry about any retaliation from the imperial family.

Reputation is more important than their own life in this world so she wouldn't go back on her words, at least not openly.

"With Princess Krista Dragoon's word, I will gladly bid 1 million and 50 thousand spirit stones for the Luminous wand," Morgan Pelora said softly with an enchanting voice that aroused the young men in below.

"Hmph, a disgusting slut who is fake as hell. I bid 1 million and 70 thousand spirit stones." Daphne Camellia sneered as she bid against her as soon as she finished her sentence.

'Am I really the only male here that is bidding against these three women?' Zen couldn't help but feel like being pierced with multiple arrows in his back because all the males were staring at him maliciously.
