The audience burst into an uproar when they saw that Riley offered a price of three hundred thousand gold coins for Zachary's treasure. As the owner of the Phoenix House, she really knew how to seize opportunities to make great deals. As a result, everyone was more curious about whether this Hatching Fluid had an astonishing magic effect.
With a bidding of three hundred thousand from Phoenix House, and seven Blazing Roc Feathers from Zachary as insurance, many were convinced of the value of the Hatching Fluid. Soon, there was a fierce battle for possession of the Hatching Fluid. If it had such miraculous power, its value would far exceed the money itself. After all, a treasure beast's importance could not be estimated in terms of monetary value.
Treasures beasts were the rarest creatures in the Supernal Continent. The most people could find were their eggs, if not the beasts themselves. As the eggs were also difficult to hatch, they became useless. But if the Hatching Fluid could ensure successful hatching of a treasure beast, then its value would be unimaginable.
The bidding quickly surpassed six hundred thousand when an Imperial Level master from the Shura College offered seven hundred thousand gold coins.
"Eight hundred thousand!" At this time, someone bid a higher price. This person was Riley.
"Wow, thank you so much!" Zachary chuckled. He had earlier estimated that five hundred thousand or six hundred thousand was good enough. Unexpectedly, the price had reached eight hundred thousand.
"Is your Hatching Fluid real? You shouldn't be kidding! You can't afford to offend the Phoenix House," Polly whispered to him.
"Do I look like I'm lying?" Zachary pretended to be offended.
Polly fell silent, but she still didn't believe him. She felt a little nervous for him.
No one else dared to bid as the price was too high, and the opponent was the Phoenix House itself, which was really rich. In the end, Riley won the Hatchin
ing this reaction from Polly. He became curious about what had upset her.
The Antique Crystal Skull that he had successfully bid for and the treasures that he had bought for Polly were packed and given to him.
"I hope you will come next time," Riley said with a flattering smile.
"Maybe. In the meanwhile, I'll leave the rest of the money here. I will leave now." After collecting the bags, Zachary followed Polly.
After they left, Riley ordered her servants, "Get two people to follow him and investigate his identity."
Polly continued to maintain her silence after she and Zachary had left the Phoenix House. This confused him.
It was not until they arrived at Shura College that Polly stopped abruptly and extended her hand to him.
Zachary handed the treasures to Polly, which originally belonged to her.
"Thank you." Without saying another word, she left.
'I thought she was going to be silent forever. What's wrong with her? I don't think that I did anything to her, ' he pondered. He shook his head and smiled bitterly. However, since Polly was willing to take the treasures he had bid for her, he concluded that she was not really mad at him. As there might be other reasons, he didn't overthink. He believed that after this trip, he would be closer to completing the main quest.
