Chapter 1170 Competition During The Auction

"Well, you are right. Maybe, I can marry you to pay you back," was Ricky's cheeky answer.

The teasing smile on his face widened when Edie scowled coldly. "Fuck off!"

he yelled before he left, and Ricky could only shrug helplessly, scratching his head with a crude grin.

Meanwhile, the Thousand-hand Emperor was a little surprised when he saw this, for he could tell that Edie was not really angry at Ricky. He was astounded to see Edie bickering with someone, and Edie seemed to care a lot about the white-haired man too. He had never seen anything like it before!

After all, Edie had never thought highly of any genius in this region.

'It seems that the so-called Kenney is not a simple person. He could not have drawn Edie's attention only by killing Redmond, so there must be something special about him,'

the Thousand-hand Emperor thought to himself.

Meanwhile, Ricky and the two girls had entered the castle's hall where the auction would be held.

In the center of the hall was the auction platform, surrounded by rows of seats. At present, the hall was already crowded with people, and most of the seats were occupied.

"It seems that we are late. Finding a seat will not be easy," Ricky murmured to the girls.

"There are a few private boxes upstairs, but I'm afraid they have all been booked by those big forces already. I'm afraid the three of us can't make it," Tina answered, worriedly wringing her hands together.

At this time, a young manservant came up to Ricky and said in a soft voice, "Mister Kenney, ladies, please follow me. Your box is ready."

"We have a private box?" Ricky blurted out, his eyes wide in surprise.

"Yes. Deacon Edie has arranged one for you three," answered the young manservant primly.

"I see. Please convey my thanks to him then,"

Ricky told the young man with a smile, gesturing for him to lead the way.

"Ricky, is it possible that Edie has a crush on you? I mean, why else would he arrange all these for you?" Tina asked with amusement once they had entered the comfortable private box.

"Wha—what are you talking about? I'm not interested in men!" Ricky looked flustered for a second, as he shook his head fervently.

Thankfully, the auctioneer interrupted them, as the auction was about to start. "We will be starting now, so please settle down!"

The first items to be auctioned off were the items. These included the lower-grade Treasures from Heaven and Earth, lower-grade Omnipotent Skills, and incomplete demi-sacred weapons.

And these items were usually bought by the warriors who were sitting on the seats outside.

It was not until more than half of th

Amelia's shoulder and went back to bidding.

"Thirty-nine and a half zones of cultivation resources!" Ricky shouted.

"A half?" Many warriors around were surprised to hear Ricky's new bid.

It was the first time that they heard such an absurd amount, for nobody ever bid in halves of cultivation resources at an auction.

"That young man must be at his limit. Thirty-nine and a half zones of cultivation resources must be all that he has," many warriors speculated. Most of them turned a judging eye at Ricky like he was some poor kid who infiltrated the auction.

"Ricky, you are so smart as to offer the thirty-nine and a half zones of cultivation resources. In this way, Fitch is very likely to think this bid is your limit, so he won't raise the price again, because winning the Aquatic Fruit with so many cultivation resources is not worthwhile for them at all," Tina commented, smiling.

"Even so, he also played tricks on us. After all, we would not have to spend so much if he didn't bid," answered Ricky. "And I will also keep this in mind.

I really hope that they could get the Chaotic Sword Intent Herb by auction. If they made it, then I could have a way to take the grass from them."

As Ricky guessed, Fitch didn't bid again.

Since Ricky had offered half a zone of cultivation resources, Fitch believed that the bid had reached Ricky's limit. If he raised the price again, he would be very likely to get the fruit, which meant that he was playing a joke on himself.

He didn't want to take such a big risk.

Moreover, he was already very satisfied that he had made Ricky spend nearly forty zones of cultivation resources. For him, his anger had been satiated.

In this way, the Sage Level Aquatic Fruit went to Ricky in the end.
