"System, I can break the seal, right?" Mark doesn't want to rejoice too much before confirming the usage.

Luckily for him, the seal didn't end up being something he could not handle.

Never in the history of the auction has ever there been where there have been a sold out.

Everyone couldn't help but wonder why he wasting so much money. But then again, his father is so rich that 35 million gold coins wouldn't dent too much into his fortune anyway.

The spectators were so dazzled by his performance that they even forgot Mark's buyout from hours ago.

Of course, another reason was that Shen Ling bid a lot of times in the auction but only won once more. It is a platinum-grade set of Armor, which she bought for her father, costing her about 1.2 million gold coins.

While the spectators no longer placed attention on Mark or his companions, the experts in other VIP boxes and the spectator zone were always on the edge. They felt too stressed throughout the auction. It was also one of the reasons the items were auctioned too quickly as no one dared to engage in an intense bidding war.

Once stage one was over, the lunch break of 90 minutes was called. Xin Rui didn't forget to warn the bidders that the challenge round will start sharply at 4 p.m.

The Auction House took care of the lunch arrangements for the guests. In the VIP section downstairs, Mark and his companions joined the royal banquet.

However, owing to the traditions, once again, he had to get separated from his three fiancées, but he was still at ease considering the fact that Sylvandria was with Song Yue for protection.

As for the golden kitten and the manticore, both of them were currently put inside the pet inventory due to the Auction House's rules that strictly forbid the beasts inside the coliseum.

Mark, along with Eol, James, and Steve sat together at the assigned table. Qing Jie self-invited him to their table to look like he was part of the same group. Mark had business to talk with him. Hence, he didn't mind it.

As the servant assigned to them was introducing the menu available for the banquet, he was interrupted by a warrior who looked like a knight of the Empire, according to his golden-colored armor, a helmet in his left hand, and his graceful walking. "Excuse me..."

Mark turned his head aside to look at the knight, who then said, "Forgive me for the disturbance. Lord Rong wishes to invite you and Venerable beings to his table." While saying that, he took another look at the Supreme Beings who look like harmless teenagers without any air of an expert in one glance. The knight then shifted his attention to Mark and thought, "This guy is even stranger. I cannot even read him."

Mark forced him to come out of his analysis with a calm statement, "Tell your Lord Rong that I have an important guest at my table. So, it is not possible."

The Knight was taken aback at first and then looked at Qing Jie before giving him the bow of farewell, "I understand. I'll relay the message." He returned without trying to speak anymore.

*Slam*

"He declined my invitation over that exiled prince of Xiezhi and he even didn't bother to act modest? Such an arrogant fellow..." Rong Huang felt humiliated at first, but then as his advisor quickly reminded him that anyone would be as arrogant as the Emperor if they had three Supreme Beings as backing, the Lord of Reignar thought for a bit and said, "Gu Yong, this time, you go and make a personal visit to Lord Qing's table and give him the invitation."

"Milord..."

As the advisor left, Rong Huang glanced in the direction of Mark and let out a smirk, "Fine then, if you can't pay the consequences of humiliating me, then, your dear guest will pay for it."
