Luck is a Charm

Despite the further provocation from Zen, Daemon Kaiso has stopped paying attention to him as he waits for Lady Seraphine to finish the countdown.

"351,000 spirit stones going once!"

"351,000 spirit stones going twice!"

"A-And sold to Patriarch Daemon Kaiso," Lady Seraphine announced loudly.

Still, she was a bit upset that Zen really stopped bidding against Daemon Kaiso.

'If only you bid against him more, my commission would have been huge,' Lady Seraphine cursed inwardly as she kept a smile on her face.

"Would Patriarch Daemon Kaiso want to pay the money now or later on to retrieve the item?" Lady Seraphine asked him for the transaction method.

In this auction, there are two transaction methods. One of them is by paying for the item directly as their worker delivered it to them.

The second method is that they will pay at the end of the auction as they continue to bid for more items. Afterward, they will be notified of the total price they have to pay to retrieve the item.

Daemon Kaiso ponders a while before opening his mouth, "I will pay at the end of the auction."

"I understand. Now, bring out the next item." Lady Seraphine nodded slightly as she ordered a man to bring out the next item for auction.

'Hmph, since you dare to mess against me then I will gladly mess with you when it's your turn.' Daemon Kaiso smiled inwardly as he looked at Zen.

Zen detected Daemon Kaiso's staring at him so he gladly smiled back before saying softly, "You can mess with me if you want. But for each time you mess with me, it'll be another limb cut off from your precious son."

Daemon Kaiso flinched upon hearing the words from Zen. If he wasn't an advanced mage, he would have most likely died from an increased blood pressure.

Scoffing off in anger, Daemon Kaiso turned on the formation in his room to stop seeing Zen's face. Otherwise, he might really fail to hold himself back from killing him in an impulse.

Afterward, Daemon Kaiso cracked a tablet- like item before speaking in a low tone, "When the plan commences, I want that stinky brat, Zen to be alive and brought to me."

A voice from nowhere replied softly, "Don't worry Daemon Kaiso. As long as you follow the plan and complete it, we will capture that brat alive and your desired item."

Daemon Kaiso nodded his head slightly before sitting down with his eye closed. 'You people have forced me to act so don't blame me for being ruthless.'

Meanwhile, back in the center stage, Lady Seraphine reveals the item being hidden in a cloth.

Instantly, a bright light shone out, revealing a dazzling and beautiful wand in display.

Everyone held an awe expression on this magnificent wand as greed and lust appeared in their eyes.

"That wand is mine."

"No, it's going to be mine and with that wand, my son can finally shine."

"Delusional old man, you think with your qualification, you can bid for the wand?"

The crowd start to trash talk each other as they want this wand for themselves.

Meanwhile, in the VIP room, everyone was agitated as well, almost like they cannot wait to hold the wand in their hand. Even Madam Evie was not an exception.

"I can't believe they are actually auctioning this wand after a long time." Evie exclaimed in a disbelief manner.

Zen raised his eyebrow slightly and asked, "Don't tell me there's a backstory for this wand that they are auctioning? Besides the wand being a good-looking item that can be placed in a collection box, I don't see it being amazing."

Since Zen had never relied on a wand to cast his spell, there was practically zero to little interest in him for the wand.

Evie rolled her eyes at Zen for being ignorant and she felt like the only thing he ever cared about… is a woman's figure and getting them to bed.

"That wand is called the Luminous Wand and it has disappeared ever since the event 10 years ago."

Evie decided to be an instructor once and educate Zen on the profound meaning of the item being auctioned right now.

Zen listens half-heartedly since backstory is in the past and no longer relevant to the current timeline.

Evie didn't mind the nonchalant attitude of Zen and continued to explain the amazing history of the person using this wand.

Shortly after, Zen digested all the information from Evie and Lady Seraphine also finished explaining the item to the audience at the same time.

"Alright, I'm pretty sure everyone here knows how valuable this Luminous Wand is and how much it can benefit your family in the future. With that being said, this wand's starting price is 400,000 spirit stones." Lady Seraphine shouted excitedly and cheers erupted in the crowd as they couldn't wait any longer.

"I bid 450,000 spirit stones."

"I bid 500,000 spirit stones."

"You poor people should just stay on the sideline. I bid 600,000 spirit stones."

The crowd continued to increase their bidding price which surpassed the amount Daemon Kaiso used to bid on the magic sensory device easily.

Finally, within the three families room, the Pelora family, Morgan Pelora raised her hand as she said, "I bid 950,000 spirit stones."

When this melody and soothing voice echoed in the room, the crowd became dazed and the shouting started to dissipate.

"Look, Morgan Pelora, the genius daughter who became a 4th tier alchemist and made a huge storm in the alchemy tournament 1 year ago."

"True, to be this young and becoming a 4th tier alchemist at this age is truly a prodigy. Adding her beauty, there have been many suitors for her already."

Seeing how it's one of the three families and it was Morgan Pelora bidding, they all stopped their desires in getting the wand.

In this world, besides mages, alchemists are more influential and powerful because the pills they make are a miracle.

The highest alchemist tier that one can reach is a 9th tier and for Morgan Pelora being 20 years old achieving 4th tier alchemist is not something they can offend.

'Seems like this is the first time I've ever seen an alchemist this beautiful. Not to mention being in the 4th tier when I've just become one recently thanks to Cecilia's help.' Zen admire from afar as he smiles slightly.
