Luck is a Charm

Many young men were having daggers in their eye as they growled and roared at Zen for bidding against the three peerless young women.

'Thirsty male with no one to insert your tiny little thing in a woman. If it weren't because I don't want the auction house to cancel then I would have crippled you all like Jared Kaiso.'

Zen cursed inwardly as he ignored their fierce gaze. This was an auction house so who cares if he has to bid against women.

"Young miss from the Camellia family has bid 1 million and 70 thousand spirit stones. This Luminous Wand is a unique item so just who will be the final winner." Lady Seraphine continued to do her duty as the auctioneer.

This is a great marketing strategy to have a woman like Lady Seraphine do the talking with her alluring figure.

With that kind of appearance, horny males will bid their all to gain some favor toward her and at the same time, boost their own ego.

Alas, Zen didn't even bother trying to bid to gain those kinds of fake glory. His only goal was to get the wand to practice magic and used it to increase his power.

"I bid 2 million spirit stones," Zen started to increase the bidding price by a large margin without sweating one bit. His wealth is immense, that 2 million is just a drop in the ocean.

Not to mention, what's the point of having wealth if you're never going to spend it. 

"Are you even a man to bid against three beautiful ladies?"

"Aren't you ashamed of fighting against them? Go back and target Patriarch Daemon Kaiso and stop bullying the ladies."

"I know right, if you don't back off then we will bid against you whenever you take an interest in one of the items."

The males stood up and roared at Zen while threatening him to back off the bidding war.

A solemn expression occurred in Zen as he glanced at these hot-headed males.

'I guess arrogant young master is a contagious disease. It spread so far and wide that you can never avoid meeting one in every place.'

With a soft chuckle, Zen stared at them before saying, "Go ahead and try me. But don't say I didn't warn you. I would make sure those who went after me to meet the same fate as Jared Kaiso."

Like a bucket of cold water splashed onto these males, they shuddered and stepped back a little.

The same fate as Jared Kaiso means having their beloved little brother chopped off and no longer have the function of what a man should have.

They all swallowed their saliva nervously while lowering their head to avoid eye contact.

Knowing the arrogance and attitude of Zen in this short time in the auction house, they all understood one of his traits.

That is, he feared nobody, not even Daemon Kaiso could do anything against Zen. Daemon Kaiso could only roar and curse at Zen without taking any action.

"Coward," Zen spat out those final words toward the idiots before returning his focus back on Lady Seraphine.

"Lady Seraphine, I have bid 2 million spirit stones already and there haven't been any other bidders. Shouldn't you begin the countdown?" Zen said as he smiled slightly.

Lady Seraphine was dazed before regaining her consciousness. Giving a slight nod, Lady Seraphine announced, "Zen has bid 2 million spirit stones for the Luminous Wand. I'll start counting down if there are no other bidders."

The other people shake their heads hurriedly to clear their minds from the outrageous word that Zen just called out.

After all, he just threatened to cripple a lot of young masters who had a lot of influence in their household without caring for the consequences.

They doubt Zen could even survive for another day if all the families allied together to kill Zen for his audacity.

"You really love creating troubles everywhere," Evie said calmly as she's been staying silent for a long time.

Zen shrugged his shoulder and said, "Being low-key now is already too late, considering the fact that I thrashed Jared Kaiso and the news has spread like wildfire. So why not continue being high-key and give them a false impression that I belong to a very powerful family?"

Evie rolled her eye and said, "You really think everyone is stupid like Jared Kaiso. One simple investigation and your entire background would be exposed easily."

"Then have you figured out my background yet?" Zen replied cheekily.

Taking a few minutes, Evie shakes her head as she still couldn't figure out his background besides the fact that he came from the Town of Ash that is now in ruin.

"I believe you would tell me everything about yourself sooner or later." Evie said and continued, "You should focus back on the auction since the other young ladies are bidding too. They're not someone who would give up just because you flaunt your wealth."

Zen nodded his head slightly before looking at the three VIP rooms which consisted of Morgan Pelora, Daphne Camellia, and Krista Dragoon.

"I bid 2 million and 50 thousand spirit stones," Morgan Pelora raised her hand as she announced.

Not even a second later, Daphne Camellia shouted, "2 million and 100 thousand spirit stones." 

Afterward, Daphne made a smirk expression toward Morgan Pelora. 'Hmph, I will not lose to you again. Just because your family focused on alchemy does not mean I'm not a good alchemist. I will surpass you very soon.'

Daphne Camellia was a competitive girl which is why she never wanted to focus on merchant businesses to help her family out.

Instead, she decided to become an alchemist to increase her position in the family and it wasn't long before she became a 2nd tier alchemist.

Receiving praise and resources in the family as she became the spotlight. However, she couldn't enjoy her glory any longer when another news broke out.

A piece of news that shattered all of her pride because it was said that Morgan Pelora who is the same age as her became a 3rd tier alchemist.

Ever since that day, Daphne Camellia refused to be in the shadow of Morgan Pelora and strived her best to surpass her.

Spending a long time in confinement to increase her alchemy skills. Daphne Camellia finally became confident enough as she applied to take the 4th tier alchemist test to beat Morgan Pelora.

It was a risky move because she skipped the 3rd alchemist test but it was a gamble that she had the confidence to win.

Daphne Camellia knew it was the perfect opportunity to regain the spotlight but it was like fate was playing with her. On the day of her testing, Morgan Pelora was also there to take the test with a nonchalant expression.
