Chapter 2159 Target
"Inferno Iron, 35 Miles."
The other party didn't back down.
Christos gritted his teeth and made the junior raise the bid once again.
"Nether Copper, 36 Miles. The maximum has reached."
"Inferno Iron, 35 Miles and a Blue Moon Pearl lake farm of 5 square miles."
Christos slammed his fist on the armrest. But there is no sound. It is the virtual space after all. The junior turned to take a look at him.
His expression is obvious. He is asking him what to do. Christos' companions are gesturing him to stop it there. The price has increased way too much and they still didn't buy into the theory that Christos explained.
However, after gritting his teeth for a few seconds and noticing that Joker might just hand over the pack.
He decisively made the decision.
"Nether Copper 36 Miles, Star Sand Mine, 12 Miles."
The bid was made. Star Sand is an equally valuable resource. It is mostly used as a catalyzing agent during alloy making process. It is harder to obtain. Even in the mine, it doesn't have a large output. But still, a twelve miles mine made everyone gasp.
Sam raised his eyebrow.
This is indeed a bit unexpected. However, he could only smile. This is a great deal. Usually, a hundred thousand coins couldn't possibly buy that big of a mine. Maybe, one tenth of the price offered by christos.
But the scarcity created by Sam himself made him earn quite a big amount.
"Sold."
The other party didn't raise the bid and Christos heaved a sigh. He went over the budget. He might have to convince the league to make the big families bear some cost to get those students out. They are important factors in the Inter Academy tournament.
He cannot let them deal stay rotting in some Gambler Academy prison.
As he was thinking, one hundred thousand coins reached his physical body outside. Thê source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))
He wore his disguise and covered his face to the extreme before he left the Olympian region. There are two places he is targeting at the moment. Norse and the Xia.
He used the space gate within the hub and went there. He met with Ivar.
"How are things here?" Sam asked, out of courtesy.
"Stop it with those questions. It is not like you don't know what is happening here."
"Well, it is just out of courtesy. Anyway, just make sure that you have my back. If something really bad happens, I want you to interfere in the way that I asked you to."
"Why do you even want me to interfere? If my speculations are true, you could escape easily as long as the Deans and Elders are not there."
"That might be true, but we need to create an image here. Whether I win or get my ass kicked, the image should be present. I am hoping that you checked the footage properly and learned to imitate it?"
"That I did. You can rest assured. If push comes to shove, I will fight exactly like that Idiot. Even though it would be an insult for myself. I will bear with it."
Sam just smiled and disappeared from the spot. Right now his target is a first grader from the Thor Academy.
He is neither the top most, nor is he the most influential by any means. However, he managed to get the ticket for the auction by virtue of Sam's rigging. But this guy is bold enough to buy a pack of coins by himself.
And he also realized that the Thor Academy is not exactly secure for him at the moment. He even thought of that before the auction and made preparations for it. He used a transference token as soon as he stepped foot outside the hub building. He disappeared into the forest where he already arranged a location for himself.
Even that preparation is wild. In one day, he hired a higher grade commoner from the city to clear a dangerous place within the forest. A place that rarely anyone ever goes to. As soon as that person finished the job, he then hired a different high grader and killed the first one.
To make sure that his hiding place is not revealed. He went to that hiding place right now.
And just like he imagined, some people were searching for him. The moment he won the bid, people targeted him. They went all out in their efforts to search him, but he was nowhere to be seen within the city premises.
Him on the other hand, just went ahead and chilled in that hiding place.
As for why he wasn't in the pocket dimension like most first graders... he already realized the threat provided by the delayed payments and stayed back to earn some coins. He was already well near that target. But when the auction presented itself, he stopped proceeding further.
Sam was really impressed by this guy's planning and the way he operated.
However, he happened to be one of the few that belonged to the hit list prepared by Ivar. His family dabbled in many unscurplous things and Ivar had no hesitation when he was asked to help Sam screw him over.
Sam reconfirmed this man's location with the wrist band and took off on harbinger.
It was a valley that no one ever visits because of its lack of spiritual energy and no lack of disgusting creatures.
