Chapter 86 - The Auction

"I never expected to see the junior young master of the Melendez family here.....Hehehehe forgive this old man." the guest in the other private room quickly admitted defeat.

Though they both qualified to seat in the private room, one background was more powerful than the other and from the other party's voice, he seemed to know the person from the Melendez family.

The junior young master of the Melendez family rang a bell in the ears of all the people present. They knew who this person was.

And except they had ten lives none of them dared to bid, they just stared widely as the body technique was taken away from them.

In the Melendez family, they were two young masters who were said to be the top strongest members among the younger generation of the Melendez family.

The two young masters were both brothers from the same father but different mothers.

It was said that both brothers hated each other to the core, and they don't see eye to eye, which could show how tense things were between them.

Some said the reasons why the two brothers dislike one another was because one had lost his mother because of the other.

After that happened, the former brothers, who were always united, split up immediately.

Both brothers viewed each other as a thorn. They were both competing for who was going to be the family head a few years from now, so they often clashed with one another.

While the elder brother was more powerful than the younger brother. The younger brother had a Diamond rank clan from his mother's side standing behind him.

This made the elder brother wary about the situation.

The elder brother was the one who lost his mother, it was said that the elder brother's mother was from low birth and had only managed to enter into the Melendez patriarch room by a stroke of luck.

And she became pregnant just after night, after giving birth to a baby boy for the patriarch, especially one who was said to be extremely talented and will be able to attain Monarch realm as long as he was still alive.

One could imagine how much impact it would cause in a Diamond rank forces.

A monarch realm expert present in a Diamond rank force had changed the dynamics and would turn a Diamond rank force to at least a semi-platinum rank force.

That was just how incredible a monarch realm expert was.

And an increase in their ranking would send their charts up, giving them abundant resources from the higher-ups.

Because of the care and love that was giving to the baby, from the day he was born till the day he became an adult, the first wife couldn't bear it and decided to take matters into her hands.

The ancestor of the Melendez family gave the boy a protective ring, which always protected him from any harm, and because of this, the first wife wasn't able to kill him.

Though the boy was saved, his mother wasn't, as she died in the hands of the first wife. A few years later, the first wife of the Melendez family gave birth to her baby boy.

The Melendez family didn't keep the matter hiding, so the rivalry between the two brothers was known to the people in the underground world.

"Fifty-eight million, eight hundred thousand gold coins going once!"

"Fifty-eight million, eight hundred thousand gold coins going twice!"

"Sold for fifty-eight million, eight hundred thousand gold coins. Congratulations, sir Edward, by purchasing this secret book, you've become the first winner of the auction this time."

"Congratulations!"

Sarah then passed the secret book back to Michael, who already knew what to do.

A bright smile appeared on her charming lips, the price the body technique sold for had exceeded her expectation.

After going for a short two minutes break, the auction began once again as Sarah's soft voice rang out. "Next, the second item in the auction is the twin swords."

Hearing the twin swords, the crowds were all wondering how the sword looked like, it was until they saw two swords appear in Sarah's hand.

As the swords appeared, the sword practitioner among the crowd stood up from their seat. They could feel both swords complementing one another.

Sword practitioners were rare in the underground world, in fact in the world. This made swords for them even rarer, and to find a sword that suited most of them wasn't easy.

This made the twin sword a must-have treasure for them.

"The twin swords are one of the finest weapons in our auction besides the fact that it is a rank 3 artifact it was also forged by one of the best blacksmiths we have."

"It is made from golden sand, and both swords weigh one ton. The twin swords are a symbol of power and martial might. The starting price is five million gold coins."

"5,100,000!"

"5,150,000!"

"5,500,000!"

People immediately began to bid, even those who were not sword practitioners were bidding crazily for the twin swords.

"15,000,000!" the voice was from that private room who lost the King body technique to the junior young master of the Melendez family.

The person didn't want to waste any time, as he immediately increased the price by ten million. After the way, he splurged earlier, the crowds weren't surprised anymore.

A sword practitioner among the crowd placed his bid, "16,000,000!"

His action greatly surprised the crowd, never did they expect that an independent powerhouse was going to go against someone who was reserved in the private room.

"16,000,000!" the voice from the private room sounded once again, but this time around they seemed to be traces of killing intent in his voice.

Sarah smiled and said nothing. As long as a fight didn't break out then she won't interfere, besides the more they increase the price the more money she would receive.

Most people didn't realize, but the sword practitioner's body had already become stiff, he couldn't even open his mouth not to mention bid again for the twin sword.

He just closed his eyes, as he knew today might be his last day in the world for offending that person in the private room.

Seeing the sword practitioner's eyes closed, the crowds assumed that it was probably because he couldn't get the treasure anymore not knowing things had taken another turn for him.

"Sixteen million gold coins going once!"

"Sixteen million gold coins going twice!"

When all seemed to be over, a soft feminine voice resounded from one of the private rooms. "20,000,000."

The crowd had expected the man to bid, but strangely he didn't, "Congratulations to Lady Evelyn for obtaining the twin swords." Sarah smiled, handing the twin sword to Michael.

Sarah knew there wasn't any idea to call out 'going once, going twice' as none of them would dare bid with this lady, even the Melendez family would have to take a step back.

"I never expected lady Evelyn to be here, I apologize for me rudely before earlier." This was the second time he was losing an item.

Though he didn't know who this lady was, he knew she was above him in strength and status by a large margin as when he enveloped that sword practitioner, he felt an aura around him.

Sweat covered his body as the aura seemed to be telling him to not try anything funny and also let go of that item.

Meanwhile, the crowds were wondering who the so-called lady Evelyn was, there had never heard of any person called lady Evelyn in the underground world.

Not knowing because of their low status they weren't able to get access to such personal information.

However, the others might not know who lady Evelyn was, but the junior young master of the Melendez family knew this woman like the palm of his hand.

A few minutes later the auction continued and all kinds of precious items and oddities were brought out one after the other which amazed the crowds. They were surprised that even after most of their treasures were gone, they could still bring out all this.

Some treasures were bought by the independent powerhouse, bronze rank forces, and gold rank forces while the rest were bought by those people in the private room.

A frown was beginning to form on Sarah's face as each time those people from the private room placed a bid, the crowd would immediately give up on the item.

"We are about to enter into the last three items of the auction." Sarah managed to suppress her anger and a charming voice rang out.

The crowds became even more serious, this was the moment they had been waiting. At this point, they didn't mind offending those people in the private room as long as the item was worth it.

While others were waiting for the next item, a youth who was putting on a white mask was approaching the secret channel of the private room.

In the white auction, all the private rooms had a secret channel in which after the guests in the room had successfully won an item, someone would come to deliver the item to them.

Unlike the crowd who had to go get items personally behind the stage, the people in the private room were treated specially.

The person who was walking towards the secret room was holding a small chest in his hand and he was going to deliver the item to the junior young master of the Melendez family
