Chapter 217: Auction [3]



"Ladies and gentlemen, now only three items are left before the auction of today comes to an end."

"Now let me present you one of the last three items of today's."

Removing the veil, a beautiful slim sword appeared before everyone in the hall.

Instantly Everyone's attention was drawn towards the sword.

"That's right everyone. Today, I am delighted to present you guys a [S] ranked artefact. You heard me right, an [S] ranked artefact! The name of the sword is [Dawan Breaker], and it is considered by many as one of the strongest and sturdiest swords available on the market. It has...

Satisfied with the crowd's reaction, the auctioneer began introducing the item. From its history to everything that someone needed to know. Nothing was spared.

"Huma..."

Listening to the announcer speak, a yawn escaped from my lips. I was bored.

Well, it was understandable.

Though the sword below me was a [S] ranked artefact, I had no interest in it. Not because I didn't like it, but it was because I couldn't afford it.

Since I couldn't have it, why even care?

I still didn't use a single penny from 2 billion C. If I go and bid for this sword I'm sure I can't afford to buy [Healberry].

That's the reason I say I couldn't afford it.

The unveiling of the shimmering necklace ignited a renewed fervour among the masked crowd. Whispers of anticipation and excitement rippled through the hall, signalling the eagerness to possess this enchanting piece.

"Number 21 starts the bidding at 50 million C! Who will join the pursuit of this captivating artefact? Ah, number 64 raises the stakes to 70 million C!"

The bids continued to soar, each masked participant vying for the chance to claim [Moonlit Elegance]. The auctioneer skillfully orchestrated the proceedings, creating an atmosphere of anticipation and competition.

"Number 37 boldly offers 100 million C! Are there any contenders willing to surpass this bid? Number 49 enters with 120 million C! The competition is fierce for this unparalleled beauty-enhancing necklace."

As the numbers climbed, I couldn't help but appreciate the allure of the necklace. Its mystical aura and the promise to enhance beauty made it a coveted item. However, my focus remained resolute on the ultimate goal—[Healberry].

The auctioneer's voice echoed, "Number 03 challenges with 150 million C! Going once, going twice... Ah, number 58 bids 180 million C!"

The masked participants, caught in the thrill of the bidding war, exchanged glances and masked expressions, their identities concealed in the shadowy realm of the clandestine auction.

"Number 03 boldly raises the bid to 200 million C! Going once, going twice..."

The tension in the room intensified as the auctioneer continued the rapid-fire count. The air crackled with anticipation as each bid elevated the stakes.

"Number 58 counteroffers with 220 million C! A bold move indeed. Any challengers?" The auctioneer's voice resonated through the hall.

Amidst the masked crowd, a moment of hesitation lingered before a new contender emerged. "Number 12 steps in with 250 million C!"

Gasps and whispers swept through the room. The bidding war for [Moonlit Elegance] had reached unprecedented heights. The allure of the necklace, coupled with the desire for enhanced beauty, fueled the fierce competition.

"Number 03 reenters the fray with 280 million C! Will this be the winning bid? Going once, going twice..." The auctioneer's words hung in the air.

The masked figures weighed their options, contemplating whether to reveal their final bids. The atmosphere pulsed with anticipation as the fate of [Moonlit Elegance] hung in the balance.
