==================

In the afternoon, Orochis group finally reached the town of Chans.

Looking at the high town walls, which were as high as 50 meters, Orochis sighed in relief as they were able to reach their destination in time.

At the town gates, a huge line of people was formed. And as Orochis group got closer, they could hear people's discussion.

Brother, how come today we have to wait for so long to enter the city?

Dont you know, tomorrow its the yearly auction held by the Golden Cloud Chamber of Commerce. So, many people will come to attend it and see if they could get some rare item in the auction.

And almost all the big powers in the surrounding regions will send their representatives to attend the auction and to acquire things that they are interested in.

Sigh, actually most of the times, these auctions are only meant for the important and powerful people as anything of worth is easily bought by them. As they hold large amounts of wealth and power.

As for common people like us, if we could even enter the auction, it is already a thing to brag about for few years. As for obtaining things that are being auctioned, hehe... it is just a pipe dream.

Exactly, if common people like us attend the auction, then other than playing the role of spectators we wont have anything else to do. Looking at high bidding price, smacking our lips or clicking tongues or taking a deep breath, and feeling envious after looking at people who are able to spend such huge amounts, other than that we wont do anything else.

So, instead of dreaming things like- How good it would have been if I could own that much money? or something similar, we should focus on our work and let the rich people waste their money.

But Orochi could not give up his search for the rooms, as there was still one day left for the auction to commence and they cannot spend it living and sleeping on the roads.

As they got into the next inn, they were surprised to find a crowd was formed inside.

Orochi approached a nearby person and asked,

Brother, whats happening and why is such a huge crowd gathered in the hall?

The person looked at Orochi and answered,

Hehe... it must be your first time coming to this town and you must be here for the yearly auction held by the Golden Cloud Chamber of commerce, am I correct?

Orochi nodded.

That person continued,

You see that guy standing on the table, over there...

He pointed in one direction and Orochis eyes moved in the direction pointed by him.

Orochi saw a fat guy standing on the table.

The person continued,

That guy is a very famous person in this town and he is known for his shrewdness and money-making skills.

Everyone knows, that as the date of yearly auction held by the Golden Cloud Chamber of commerce was approaching, the inns will be filled with people and almost all the inns room will be booked. And the price of all rooms will be doubled in this period of time.

So, this guy devised a plan to take this opportunity to make money.

2 days ago, he booked all the rooms in this inn for 3 days. And now he is auctioning the room keys to whoever bids high.

He has almost sold all the room keys; I would advise this brother to grab this opportunity and get yourself a room or else you will be sleeping in the open tonight, as there are only three rooms left

Hearing this, Orochi was not surprised as he has seen and heard many similar cases like this in the past. He asked the person,

Didnt the inn manager or staff take action against this guy for doing business in their own turf?

Hearing this that guy laughed and answered,

Hehe... the fat guys background is not simple. It seems that his sister is engaged to the young master of the Chan family.
