Chapter 37: Making Fool of Olsen (1)
"Next, we present the last few auction items for the finale!"
Vivian clapped her hands, and a member of the chamber of commerce walked over slowly, pushing a cart. When Olsen saw the items in the cart clearly, he stood up excitedly.
"Please invite the next auction itemour prized treasure, the Dragon Fang Sword!"
"Wow!"
The mercenaries in the audience exclaimed! This Dragon Fang Sword was very famous among them.
It was said to be a treasured sword made from the fangs of a master-level dragon. Not only was it extremely sharp, but it also contained a mysterious power. The rumor said that when an elite-level mercenary used this sword, they would be able to burst into the strength of a master-level swordsman.
"We must get this Sword!" Olsen's eyes turned red when he saw the Dragon Fang Sword.
With this sword, their leader's strength would be raised to a higher level, and soon it wouldn't be only a dream for them to win against the Scarlet Fang and become the number one mercenary group in Rosewood Town!
"I presume everyone is already familiar with its reputation, so I won't elaborate further about its value."
Vivian's fingers lightly brushed the blade, and her gentle eyes and mouth slightly curled upwards, attracting the shocked gazes from the audience. The lower mercenaries had even screamed.
"Ah! Miss Vivian!"
"My Goddess!"
"She's smiling at me! she has me in her heart! Ah!"
When one mercenary opened his mouth, his companion punched him hard in the face.
"Shut up, idiot! I think you're daydreaming! Miss Vivian is clearly thinking of me!"
Such turmoil would happen off the stage from time to time.
"Dragon Fang Sword? Isn't this a one-time item?"
Aurora immediately used the system function to appraise the sword on the stage.

"The price starts at... 100 gold coins!"
"It's too expensive." Aurora shook her head immediately when she heard the price. An item that could only be used once and then scrapped should not cost more than 5 gold coins.
"No one should grab it from me! 130 gold coins!" Olsen shouted directly.
"Hey, isn't this Olsen the one who was beaten up by the leader of a rookie mercenary group two days ago? He is so crazy today, is he recovering from his injury?" A mercenary not far away sneered sarcastically.
As soon as the voice fell, there was a burst of laughter.
"Tix, you are courting death!" Olson couldn't help feeling a little annoyed by his words. He was beaten up for failing to warn her two days ago, but his shame and the trauma in his heart have not yet healed.
"Come on! Others are afraid of your Raging Tempest, but we are not afraid!"
"Enough!"
Olsen's body froze for a moment, and he looked at the direction of the voice upstairs with a complicated expression and followed closely again, "260 gold coins..." This time, his voice obviously lacked confidence.
Hearing the change in his tone, Aurora's smile became wider, and Claudia, who was watching her wicked smile, felt goosebumps all over her body.
"280 gold coins!"
"Your Excellency upstairs, our mercenary group really needs this Dragon Fang Sword; can you please let it go this time? Our mercenary group will remember your kindness!"
Olsen raised his eyes toward the second floor, hoping that the other party would give up this round of bidding. He was perplexed why this noble made things difficult for him, he didn't seem to recall offending any nobles lately.
"Your kindness? I have no interest in such a worthless thing at all."
Um?
Olsen felt strangely familiar when he heard the voice from the second floor, as if he had heard it somewhere.
When he carefully searched through his memory, his hand had unconsciously touched the scorched black patch on his chest, and a figure suddenly appeared in his mind along with a trace of pain.
"It's you!" Olson's eyes were about to burst into flames. That bitch actually came out to disrupt the situation at this critical moment! And she was actually a noble?! Why did nothing seem to work for him after this bitch arrived in this town?
"Hahaha, it seems you are not that stupid, but so what? Do you give up or continue? I will have fun with you."
"2...290...gold coins!"
"Yo yo, Olsen, why has your tone suddenly become so meek? Did you use too much strength to find your old friend in the red district last night and your legs are weak, hahahaha" Tix on the opposite side laughed.
"300 gold coins." Aurora took a sip of the tea that Flamme made for her with a relaxed expression, forming a strong contrast with Olsen, who was almost furious below.
Vivian suppressed her smile for the moment. She couldn't help guessing what happened between the two of them that caused Aurora to blatantly make things difficult for Olsen?
"I'll give... 303 gold coins..." Olsen's throat was a little dry, and this was almost the last bit of money they brought out.
"It seems that we can still raise a price..." Aurora stared at his expression and calmly analyzed it for a while, then the corner of her mouth rose again, "304 gold coins!"
Olsen's fist started to tremble. He wished he could rush up and fight this wench right now instead of being tortured to death as he was now. Who cared if she was a noble or not?!
The pressure was really too great. On the one hand, there was a shortage of funds, and on the other hand, there was the order from his Captain. Caught between the two, he was almost at the critical point that his spirit could bear.
"305... 305 gold coins..."
"It looks like it's almost there..." Seeing that Olsen had already looked like this, Aurora slowly put down her hand and gave up the auction.
In the end, Olsen, who was notified of the successful bid for the Dragon Fang Sword, slumped on the chair directly, gasping heavily and feeling numb all over his body. Although he paid a huge price, he finally won the sword!
Olsen, who had recovered, looked at the glass window of Aurora's box with madness and killing intent in his eyes. At this moment, the hatred for her in his heart had risen to the point of an unending grudge, and only her blood could wipe the anger from his heart.
"Team Leader Olsen, we've got the things, and we should go back and report back." A mercenary from the Raging Tempest Mercenary Group whispered secretly behind Olsen.
"Go back first! I won't be able to swallow this anger if I don't punish this brat today!"
"But the boss said..." When the mercenary was about to say something, Olsen glanced at him sideways, and the moment the poor mercenary met his gaze, his hands and feet suddenly went cold.
Those eyes were no longer the eyes of a normal person; just one glance was as if he were being stared at by a bloodthirsty monster, and if he moved a little rashly, he would be torn apart by its sharp fangs.
"I...I see..." The mercenary swallowed hard and left quickly with the other members.
After they left, the fierce look in Olsen's eyes faded a little. He sat coldly in the corner and looked at Aurora's position on the second floor from time to time.
