'Should I kill him?'
I had reached this point when I had heard the atrocities that had just come out of his mouth.
A collection of slaves?
That was the turning point. This man, or whatever he really was, was worse than everything I had ever come across in my life.

He was worse than a fucking demon.
That meant a lot, especially coming from me. I hated demons more than anything in the world, but the people in this place were just as bad; their mind was twisted, and there was no doubt about it.
How could anyone with a sane mind watch this and think it was normal?
I shook my head. 'I can't kill him...not now. It isn't time. However, what I can do is make sure that no one buys that princess apart from me.'
She was an elven princess, she would fit right in the Apex class. She would actually be a perfect fit.
"The starting price to buy her is 10 Million Coins! Anyone interested?" The girl on the stage smiled as she already knew that dozen of people would raise their hands in an instant.
The elven princess was actually extremely beautiful, which meant that all those weirdos would be even more interested in buying her.
Even with the price being so high, I had never seen that many hands raised yet, and surprisingly, Zero kept his hand lowered.
I wasn't sure why, nor did I care, but I decided to do the same as him.
"We got 10 Million Coins! What about 11 Million?"
Hands were raised once again, and the auction continued as the price kept rising. Fewer people started betting and had one point. There were only two people left, bidding it out.
Zero still hadn't raised his hand, and my guess was that he wanted to make a grand entrance when people least expected it.
But I honestly couldn't wait to see his face when he would see me raise my hand, haha.
Money wasn't a problem. I had tons of it. My years of service weren't for nothing, and all the items I had collected over the years also weren't for nothing.
The auction price was now at a staggering 25 Million Coins.
"25 Million Coins, anyone else?" The girl on stage said. "Going once...going twice..."
"125 Million."
"Caedrel, stop! Do you even have that much money? You're just a professor."
I turned to look directly into Lurok's eyes and just smiled. "You don't know anything about me. Now, if you would, please shut your mouth."
Everyone in the auction house couldn't believe it as they just stared at us from below.
Most people wondered who I was since they had never seen me before.
"Do you know who that guy with red and purple hair is?"
"Never heard of him. He must be some kind of bigshot if he's in that room..."
"You're right...maybe some kind of businessman that we haven't seen before."
I heard those murmurs, and I could only laugh at their guesses.
'Businessman? Me? Talk about a boring fucking life.'
"Wow! 125 Million Coins! This is incredible, could I know the identity of the gentleman who just bid such an amount?"
I smirked as I slowly stood up from my seat. The two of them were looking at me with their eyes wide opened completely shocked by the actions I was currently taking.
"Are you asking me?" I said with a big smile.
"Uh...yes."
"I'm just a lowly professor from the Royal Academy, that's all."
Instantly, I heard reactions from below. No one believed me obviously. What kind of professor could even earn that much money.
"A professor?! How does a professor have that much money?"
"He must be lying. There's just no way that's possible."
The person who was most shocked was obviously the person on the stage. She had a lot of difficulty believing me. But who wouldn't?
"What is a professor doing in our VIP room exactly?"
I just shrugged. "Who knows?"
