Chapter 589 A Wonderful Discovery

Chapter 589 A Wonderful Discovery

Oliver hesitated for a moment when he heard the new bid before making another bid.

"210,000!"

Prince Eric, and Rael Dalton sighed in relief. Since this guy only increased the bid by 10,000 unlike his previous increase of 50,000s, it meant he didn't have enough funds or wasn't willing to pay too much for it. No matter which one was true, it was good news for them. However, they also knew some other parties, such as the Arasia and the rest of the top noble families of the Royal capital hadn't participated yet, meaning the chances were high that this bidding was nowhere near its end.

"250,000!" Rael made another bid.

"300,000!" Prince Eric immediately followed.

Oliver narrowed his eyes, and the corner of his lips lifted up in a sneer, "You want to compete with me?"

He tapped the armrest of his chair and made another bid.

"3000 High Grade Mana stones!"

Boom!

Everyone jolted in their seats. Feeling that they had heard wrongly, they looked toward the auctioneer for the confirmation. The auctioneer was also stunned. She could count the times when someone had made a bid in high grade mana stones on her one hand. Now, however, someone had really made a bid in high grade mana stones?

"S-Sir, can you re-announce your bid?" She asked, looking in the direction of Oliver's private cabin.

Immediately, the same voice sounded again, this time with a hint of mockery, "I said, I bid 3000 High Grade Mana stones!"

While everyone was stunned, Lily let out a sigh, "As expected, he is here." Although the person who made the bid could be someone else, Lily could tell he was none other than Oliver.

Prince Eric was also surprised when he heard the bid, but when he heard Lily, his eyes flashed. After thinking for a moment, he asked in an indifferent voice, "Who is here, Miss Lily? The person who you were fleeing from?"

Lily's expression changed for a brief moment before it returned to normal and she nodded, "Yes."

Lily's expression faltered when she saw the person in front of her. "Y-You are here?"

...

Many representatives of the big powers, who were still waiting for the bidding to reach the last stage to participate, had ugly expressions on their faces. They were ordered to go all out and buy the spells, but could they compete with someone who could casually bid high stage mana stones? It should be known that even though the top powers in the Kingdom also had High Grade mana stones, the amount they had was pitifully low because the Green Leaf kingdom didn't have any High Grade Mana Vein. All the high grade mana stones they had were from the larger empires, and the organizations from the central plains. Since they didn't have anything valuable enough they could regularly trade for the high grade mana stones, the amount they could get their hands on was barely enough for their strongest experts to cultivate. So, how could they compete with someone who bid high grade mana stones? They could, of course, continue bidding higher amounts in mid grade mana stones, but that would be too expensive for them, and stretch their budget.

After all, even though the worth of 100 mid grade mana stones was roughly equal to 1 High Grade mana stone, it was only only in theory. In reality, no one would exchange their high grade mana stones at the rate of 100 mid grade per piece. They minimum they would ask for 150 mid grade ones for 1 high grade stone, and depending on the situation, this rate could increase to 200 and sometimes even 250.

Therefore, if they wanted to match the current bid of 3000 high grade mana stones, they needed to bid at least 600,000 mid grade ones, which wasn't acceptable to them.

Still, after a few moments of silence, someone did make another bid.

"I bid 800,000 mid grade mana stones. If this friend can bid more than that, I'll accept my defeat and would no longer bid for this defensive spell."

"Wah!"

The crowd erupted into a loud chatter. They hadn't expected someone to bid again. 800,000 mid grade mana stones... This amount was more than enough for an ordinary person to reach the peak of four-star or even break through to the five-star realm. However, this much money was being spent on a defensive spell, which you could not freely use since you first needed higher grade fire elemental mana to do so.

Oliver smirked, and casually said, "Alright, I bid 4,000 high grade mana stones. You can back off now."

Crown Prince Eric, who had made the 800,000 bid, sighed in defeat, and didn't make any more bid.

In his cabin, Rael also became silent and didn't increase the bid. The auctioneer confirmed a few times if someone else wanted to increase the bid, but when no one spoke, she banged the hammer thrice and Oliver won the Flame Barrier spell.

Max was lifting Claire in his hands, and was thrusting from below. However, when the auctioneer banged the hammer, he paused and a look of joy flashed in his eyes. 4000 High Grade Mana stones... he could easily breath through to the four-star realm with them.

'It seems lady luck is on my side.' He thought before resuming his activity. Right now, having sex was more important not only because he needed to vent his lust, but also because he had made a wonderful discovery... His bloodline was producing the Nascent Energy as he had sex. If he could accumulate enough Nascent energy, converting the three-star mana into four-star wouldn't be too difficult, and wouldn't take much time.

While he focused on fucking the ecstatic lady in his arms, the auctioneer made another announcement.

How was the chapter? Any thoughts?
