Gura, who was satisfied with the result of his scheme, cracked a laugh that also made Devi before him sneer in joy. They didn't know who they were, but the feeling of having to decrease one of their potential threats in this mission was like lifting a huge boulder that was placed on them. Especially Devi, who swore that she would never let her name be sullied again before her father.
{...And now we will continue to our next item…}. S~eaʀᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Miss Lawrence, on the stage, puts down the broken sword and then picks the next item, which is a small sphere-like. A globe that fits in hand, around the small globe, there is a gold metal-like orbit carved with an intricate Ancient polygraph.
Devi, who saw the item, heightened her senses as she used her sharp vision to see the item that was on display. The image and the details were the same as what her father told her.
{...We found this item in ancient ruins in Europe, but like I said, we still couldn't figure out how to operate it. However, after researching it thoroughly. We believe that this item in my hand is a Relics…}
Upon mentioning the word relic every participant in the venue stiffened their bodies, and some even had their jaws dropped to the floor. The term about relics that sound legendary in their ears and eyes were being displayed in front of their eyes. For those people who come here just to have fun, they feel blessed because they can see relics in their lives.
As for the greedy ones, they lick their dry lips while checking their gold.
Miss Lawrence, who noticed the tension in the venue, let out a smile for a bit before it faded away, replaced by her dignified aura, and then started the bid.
{The starting price of this one is… Number nineteen had already made their bid. They raised the bid to one billion gold…}
Every participant, stoned as they crooked their stiff necks, turned toward the lit VIP room number nineteen, who offered one billion out of nowhere.
Gura and Devi, who heard the commotion, knitted their brows while letting a murderous gaze toward room number nineteen.
"Raised the bid!".
Devi starts to raise the bid that has been offered by number nineteen.
{Oh, here comes number four with one million and fifty million gold, once. Another intense rivalry, number nineteen offered a raise for One and a half billion gold, goes once…}
The demon stiffened its body as a faint menacing aura started to leak out from its body. They never thought that there was someone out there who would dare to challenge them.
They were in a stalemate. Because they still didn't know what the number nineteen plan was. Is the price they offered right now the amount they could pay? Or is it just a tactic for him to lure them out to spend so much money on the relics?
Gura started to clench his fist hard. It left a red mark. His teeth clenched tightly as he turned his murderous gaze at the number nineteen room.
Devi also feels the same impulse as him. However, she still could let out a calm judgment that maybe the person behind the curtain of the number nineteen room was.
"...No way. There is no way that is possible. He is just a kid". She muttered.
{One and a half billion goes twice… is there no other bidding?...}
"Raised it to one and fifty-five hundred".
{Number four raised the bid to one billion and fifty-five hundred million gold, and as usual, number nineteen raised it again to one billion and sixty hundred million…}
"That fucker!".
Gura accidentally let out his aura, which triggered the security system installed in the venue. The ringing of an alarm also triggered the security protocol.
Every wall in the room turned into a robotic scene, as it swiftly changed from a plain room with a magnificent monitor to a dangerous room filled with artillery on each side and corner of the room, which had been enhanced by monster material that could have pierced a Rank-S monster hide. The change of scene brings back his wrathful mind to a calm state as he sighs.
{Participant number four, please don't try anything funny in the place we had. If you can't afford to buy the item, just give up and let the other person who bid higher take it. Because that is what an auction is. If you don't like the rule, don't bother to come here in the first place. We warn you! There is no next time!}
Miss Lawrence, who led the event in a cheerful and enchanting tone, turned grave and cold in an instant, that it made the participants who saw her in the first seat tremble in fright, some of them in delight.
{...Sold. The item is sold to number nineteen. Congratulations…}
As the atmosphere in the venue worsened, Miss Lawrence, with a firm tone, stated that the item had been sold. Not to trigger any more violent action from each side.
{...Okay, everyone, Let's continue with the auction…}
Miss Lawrence approached the table upon which she put down the relics. Then she took out a Black sphere radiating a mysterious energy contained within it. The black glow from within it seems mixed with a faint red color. It gives the sphere rather an eerie feeling.
Even though it looks eerie, the sphere attracts many participants' gaze as they marvel at the majestic item that exudes from it. They didn't know why. When the item was presented to them, everyone who saw it directly felt their knees weakening and wanted to give their respect to the items.
Gura and Devi are no exception unless they have already done the respectful bow. With one knee on the ground and a bent torso, they gave their respect to the sphere. The room atmosphere turned still and with a solemn atmosphere, Gura state.
"Girl, make sure you put everything we had in this one!".
"Yes…".
{This mysterious sphere, we found inside one of the deepest dungeons that have not been conquered in Afrika. I will not delve into the details, but we found this item inside the deepest floor humans currently reach. The crystal sphere exudes a colossal energy that we believe could even light up an entire continent for almost a thousand years…}
A gasp escaped everyone who heard the explanation from Miss Lawrence about the last item that was being displayed.
The two demons who heard the explanation. Face turning grave as their body exudes a violent, thick killing intent, but they hold it back by gritting their teeth.
{We believe this is an energy sphere, and we couldn't use it at its full potential. We will give it a special prize starting with five hundred million…}
After Miss Lawrence's finish with her words. The battle to procure a mass of energy began. Many of them raised their number, and many of the VIP rooms also lit their rooms. Because of the valuable item, it was.
"Now, girl!".
{...We received the bid from number four that raised the bid to two and a half billion gold, goes once…}
As the number of gold that has been stated on the stage, the other participant, who fiercely bid, now backed down like a chased predator. The two demons in question feel proud that with this, they finally could obtain at least one of the items that are the most valuable among the three.
{...Twice, is there no other? Oh, number nineteen seems not going to back off either. They raised the bid to two billion and seventy hundred million gold, goes once…}
"What?!".
Devi shot up from her kneeling position as she faced room number nineteen, which lit up because the bidding process was ongoing. Gura, who kept his gaze down, clenched his fist as it left a cracking sound. But he didn't act rashly like earlier. He shot up from his kneeling position and walked toward the door.
"Lord Gura".
"Let's kill those guys!".
With a chilling growl that escaped his lips, he made Devi's hair stand to no end. Even though she was intimidated, she also felt frustrated by the disturbance the other person created. She is also a bit delighted because Gura personally will make a move.
"Yes".
