Weapon Seller In The World Of Magic

495 The Grand Auction (part-6)

After a couple of hours, Mark reunited with his women.

He didn't know what happened during lunch time but he could see the ladies are a lot closer than they were before a couple of hours.

What changed is how Song Yue and Shen Ling were addressing Sylvandria with sister as a prefix. Previously, there used to be a certain wall between them, the one that separates normal people from having casual conversations with true experts.

After returning to their VIP Box, Mark once again made sure that the room was secured before settling down and having a talk. He talked about Qing Jie's proposal and Song Yue told him what happened in the ladies section too.

Mark couldn't help but burst into laughter upon realizing that both of the parties were on the same wavelength. Here, he refused Rong Huang's invitation, and there, Sylvandria taught Rong Huang's wife a lesson.

Nevertheless, he fully supported her decision, stating that when it comes to standing up to family, nothing else matters.

Roughly, 45 minutes later, Xin Rui and the Auction House Master returned to the bidding platform, announcing the Challenge Round.

The rules of the challenge round are as follows.

They put up an item and the bidders shall bid for it. The winner can send anyone to challenge the warrior that was guarding the item.

If they win it, then the item will be theirs to keep. If they lose the challenge, then, money will go down the drain too. In order to milk more money from the bidders, the auctioneer allows the bidder to send more than one expert to defeat the challenger. Up to 4 experts are allowed.

However, the amount will also increase accordingly. For example, if the winning bid is 100k gold coins, then, the winner should pay 200k gold coins for 2 participants, 500k gold coins for 3 participants, and 2 million gold coins for 4 participants.

While one's chances increase with more numbers, those with a powerful background don't opt for such a method unless the item is of great importance as it will damage their reputation even if they win. If they lose, one can imagine how humiliated they will be.

Last but not least, the item that doesn't get acquired by any winning bidder through the challenge shall be moved to the last segment of the auction.

With such things in mind, as the guests were ready with their bidding paddles, Xin Rui took out the first item of the challenge round.

"When the Rings of Yin and Yang are worn by the same person, they will give an additional benefit of raising the user's aptitude for magic spells.

The starting bid for the challenge is 1000 gold coins and the guardian is a 7-circle realm beast king. The buyout is 100,000 gold coins.

Let the auction begin."

The spectators couldn't even get to see their movements properly, but the Dragon Tiger was completely calm.

It cleanly evaded their attacks with a jump and counterattacked with its paws.

An intense battle ensued between both of the parties. It went on for ten minutes. The spectators, despite not getting to see their movements, were cheering loudly; some were cheering for the tiger to shred them to pieces while some were rooting for the challengers.

Meanwhile, discussions went on at several VIP Boxes. Mark was also included in those people, but the contents of their discussion were vastly different from the others.

Eventually, Yu Tiajin was forced to throw in the towel and admitted the loss, earning laughter filled with mockery from several VIP guests.

Maybe, the fact that Yu Tiajin had snatched away almost half of the products in the first segment probably angered them and this failure made them think that he deserved such a humiliation.

The adolescent's face reddened in shame and when they apologized for the failure, he could only comment that they weren't at fault but it was his dad's fault for selecting them.

Xin Rui announced the item's base price as 200k and will be available in the next segment before she went on to take out the next item.

Like the first one, this one is also a pair of platinum-grade accessories, although one is a pendant and the other is a ring.

As the bidding process started, the 17-year-old became very busy cussing his own dad as he could no longer send people. His strongest bodyguards were defeated and he didn't have the face to send them once again.

Hence, there was no point in participating in the bid.

As the others were busy winning the challenge token, the door behind Yu Tiajin was knocked a couple of times.

One of Yu Tiajin's attendants opened the door to find one of the security guards, a 6-circle realm Spirit Warrior, who bowed in greetings and said, "Lord Yu, there is someone who would like to meet you. He says he is with a message from VIP Box no. 8."

"No. 8?" Yu Tiajin furrowed his brows. He seemed like he didn't remember who occupied that box. "What was his identity?" He asked.

Before the guard could answer, one of the injured exalt realm experts who was tending to his wounds suddenly exclaimed, "Young Master, it belongs to Princess Shen Ling. She is the one with three Supreme Beings on his side."

"Oh, please send him in," Yu Tiajin forgot about the auction and sprung up on his feet, leaving the chair as well as the spectator's sight.

Soon, Eol in white-clad armor entered the room and greeted him in a casual tone as if they were equals, "Hello, Mr. Yu, I'm called White Knight and I'm here to deliver you a message, or more like an offer, on behalf of my master."
