Chapter 177: Outsmart the Smart!

The auction for this dagger orb will start now. I beseech for all guests to follow Shin Warehouses rules, and use their seats to auction. Ryu Shin said and was about to start the auctioning, but a person rose from his seat and coughed lightly.

Ryu Shin turned to look at the person and asked, Does Mr. Holmes have anything to say?

The person who rose from his seat was none other than the leader of the Holmes family, Nicholas Holmes. The Holmes family owned the banks in Unity and were quite rich, but they were also extremely clever.

I do have something to say, Nicholas said with a light voice that could be heard by everyone. We humans are a united entity against our common enemy, monsters. We created Unity with our bare hands for that purpose. So, seeing such a tragic thing saddens me to no end. He said with a sad face.

Holmes family has an offer,

Lets not spend an extravagant amount of money on something supposed to be presented to the government for the advance of the people. This self-claimed the Marooner should have donated the orb as soon as possible, so humanity would find a way to replicate or create more such orbs to strengthen our cause against humanity!

But here we are, pitted against each other to allow this traitor of humanity to sell his ware with our hard-earned money, so he could thicken his pockets.Fịndd new updates at novelhall.com

I suggest we should not be part of this farce, and end it among us. Lets not bid and buy the item with the minimum price, after that, the Holmes family promises that every family will have a chance to study the orb. And any family that discovers its secrets will share it with others.

Ryu Shin looked at Nicholas Holmes with a smirk and walked to the side of the stage. The screen once again lit up, and Marooner in his armor appeared on the screen.

Hello, esteemed guests. I am thankful for your interest in my little orb. You honored me by showing up in this auction held by the Shin Family.

I know there are some families among you dissatisfied with my actions of selling the orb instead of donating it. They may think I should have presented it to them, instead of trying to make a profit from it, because it is the right thing to do. For humanity, for our cause against monsters, for free Earth!

Desi family? Bach family? Maybe the Holmes family. Doesnt matter really, whoever thinks like that, I have a counter offer. You can prove your thoughts right here right now. I am presenting you the chance to show your honor, your willingness to help humanity, and help our cause against monsters!

Donate half of your assets. Money, orbs, weapons, techniques. Half will do. Donate them to people who can't afford them. Donate them to orphans, not the orphans you raise as weapons, but orphans outcast by your families because their powers are not rare or they have no power. Donate them to slums!

Prove it! Prove that humans shouldnt be selfish! Prove that we wholeheartedly share what we have because we are one single entity. Give away your hard-earned treasures and prove them to me, and I promise, I will donate this orb to the science team of the army with everything I know.

If not, go wild and bid more and more and make me richer and richer. Because I will not let you buy this orb with your little schemes! My bid is five hundred million UD for this orb. If the price is any lower, I will pay compensation to the Shin family, and keep the orb for myself.

Have a good evening!
