Chapter 124: Chapter 124 Auction Part 04.

Lawrence, who sweated because she was tired of letting her voice so loud in the venue sigh. She inhaled a couple of deep breaths and exhaled it once before she switched her mood.

"Now for the finale. The third stage".

The participant who heard the words gulped. They want to know what kind of item will be presented in the final round.

Miss Lawrence, who stood on the stage gazing at the people in the venue with a calm demeanor, instructed the employees behind her with a wave of her palm.

As instructed, the two males begin to push away the elevated altar and leave the stage. Then, the stage lamp also dimmed the venue, and all of the spotlight started to gather at Lawrence as she opened her mouth.

"For the final stage, I will give you guys a brief summary of the item we have. There are three items we believe contain an extraordinary power that we even couldn't solve…".

Her voice echoed through the venue, carrying a deep regret for the unsolved power of the items they had. The attention on the venue was all glued to Lawrence's figure, who was like a goddess in grief.

Lawrence raised her right hand to her face, trying to cover her lips, but all that was an act. Then, with a flick of her finger, a cascade emerged and started to illuminate a female employee who accompanied her from the start with a rectangular table behind her. She approached the table, and she caressed the table surface with her delicate finger before opening her mouth.

"Behold, these are the three items we took pride in, the highlight of today's auction. Then we will start with this…".

As soon as she uttered those words, the light in the venue lit up, blinding the people who didn't prepare to face the sudden light that pierced their vision. Lawrence holds a piece of a broken sword in her hands. The sword only showed its hilts that had a white and gold color, along with a third of the blade. But everyone in the venue faintly could feel the power that radiated from it.

"Can you guys feel it? The power that radiated just from its hilt? We found this item in one of the dungeons that recently had been conquered in Europe, and they found this broken sword inside the chest on the final floor. As much as we want to keep it, we believe this sword must be given to those who are lucky enough to obtain it. The starting price of the sword is a hundred million gold…".

{Hundred and one million…}

{Hundred and ten…}

{Hundred and twenty…}

A fierce battle starts as they start the bid to obtain one of the sacred treasures that will eventually land in Leon's hand.

Soma, in the VIP room, saw the sacred sword that had been bid by the other participant. He also could spot Leon with a raised number, bid on his part.

However, many people who come from a big family gather at this chance to seek an opportunity if they can obtain at least one amazing item. So, the battle was more fierce than ever.

Malik, beside Soma, is also amazed by the broken sword that has been displayed on the stage. As the name implies, the sword is currently broken, and there are two other pieces to complete it. One of the pieces was already found and being auctioned, as one other Leon family had it. The broken sword is also one of the reasons he attended the auction.

As for the other pieces, no one knows where it is. Only Soma, with his knowledge upon reading the novel, knows it. Searᴄh the nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

{Five hundred million gold, once...}

…

{Five hundred and ten million, goes once…}

{Five hundred and fifty million, goes once…}

Soma observed the situation progressing while keeping his attention on Leon, who raised his voice loudly with his last standing effort. In the story, Leon manages to obtain the item at the exact same price, and Soma can see there is no one who dares to raise their number to bid even further.

After thinking it through, the people in the venue began to rethink their strategy for the broken sword that was on display. Indeed, it was radiating a tremendous power even though only the hilt and a third of its blade remained.

However, they start to have a sudden thought. "What if we couldn't find the other pieces?". "Let's give up with the sword. I don't know if I am lucky enough to obtain the other pieces". "I better focus on the other items that seem promising". Many people in the venue start to waver in their belief to bid the sword.

{Five hundred and fifty million goes twice. Is there no one else, then… Oh, the VIP room number four raised the bid to Five hundred and seventy million, goes once…}

Soma and Leon, who heard that, knitted their brows simultaneously. Soma recalled that Leon only left with that much money after he spent some of it on the other items he obtained in the auction.

Leon grits his teeth, and regret starts to dwell on his chest. His raised number went limp as he gritted his teeth, and a sense of frustration clouded his mind.

Soma knitted his brows as he didn't expect the situation to turn like this. He turned toward the VIP room number four, which he assumed was the demon's place.

"... Those bastards".

He clenched both his teeth and fist. Soma starts contemplating his next choices. He forced his brain to think, and then he took another glance at his own gold. He clicked his tongue.

{Goes twice. Number nineteen just raised the bid to six hundred million gold…}

The venue began to stir as the other participants once again looked toward the VIP room, where Soma resided weirdly. Not even the people outside, even Hiroshi and Malik, are also doing the same. He ignored all of those gazes as he shot a glare in the number four direction.

"Don't you dare to raise it further. Because if you do, you will face a humiliating defeat!".

"Girl raised it!".

"Yes,".

Gura, who saw that number nineteen got baited, smirked and ordered Devi to raise the bid further.

{Seven hundred million from number four. Goes once. …twice. Oh, here comes again the intense battle. Number nineteen starts to raise the bid to seven hundred and fifty million gold goes once…}

"Lord, Gura?".

"Raised it!".

{Eight hundred goes once, …twice, ,,, and … Oh, nine hundred we have nine hundred million gold from number nineteen}

"Guhahaha. let's stop it. I think the guy on number nineteen is already spent after bidding that much money".

"Okay".

This also makes Gura sure that number nineteen knows about their identity, and Gura begins to exploit the fact that they have known them by using this tactic.

Gura didn't dare to raise the bid further than this was because he had a fifty-fifty thought about them. Half of it was Gura still cautious of the other current gold in possession, and the other fifty is that he was certain after hearing the delayed response until the third time that VIP number nineteen gold reservoir had almost depleted.

He flashed his white teeth while singing an anthem of victory in his heart.

"Ghaha, This is my payback".
