BXBX NOVEL Chapter 139: The Highest Bid
\'According to the staff who delivered the first auctioned item to that room, the person who happs to purchase that item is an advturer since he prested his Advturer Badge to the staff and it\'s not an ordinary badge but an S-Rank Gold Badge!\'
It means that this person chos by one of the direct descdants of that household isn\'t some kind of an outsider but rather, had a reputation amongst the common people, especially, that person being an S-Rank advturer, according to the Imperial Law of this Empire, that person is considered a semi-noble.
\'Would you look at that? I need to rely this information to the owner but first, I need to focus on this evt.\'
With that, the MC smiles as he looked at the direction where the highest bid had be placed; "VIP #09 FROM THE PREVIOUS BID, HAD PLACED 500 COSMOS FOR THIS ITEM! IS THERE SOMEONE ELSE WHO WOULD TRY TO BID MORE?"
After the MC stated those words, the audice within the crowd could only have a bitter expression on their faces because who would dare to raise that kind of bid that\'s too much for their own properties?
And besides, most of the aristocrats had se the person in the VIP #09 as the person-in-charge from the trance of this establishmt earlier had assisted them and guided them to that room.
Although most of the attdees are wearing a mask to conceal themselves, the appearance of that mysterious person from VIP #09 had catch the glimpse of some of them and the only notable feature of that person is that…. That person had a snow-colored hair and lilac-colored eyes.
Also, there are others who happed to witness the sce at the trance of this establishmt wh that person suddly took out the [tok] from its pocket and they have caught a glimpse of that [tok] and all of them recognized that [tok] since it came from that household.
So, of course, in the d, they wouldn\'t dare to make an emy of that household and would just gladly give up bidding for that item.
Unless there is someone who\'s an idiot and didn\'t know how to retreat.
"600!" – said by the voice that looks younger yet there is an air of arrogance coming from that voice alone.
\'Yup. There is an idiot amongst them. No need to pay atttion to whoever that person was.\'
Those were the thoughts of those people as they looked in the direction where that voice came from and from the sound of it, the audice concluded that this person seems like those pompous young masters who didn\'t know anything but to squander money like pools of water.
The MC, heard another person\'s voice for bidding a higher amount, looked at the direction where that came from and stated; "OH, LOOK WHAT WE HAVE HERE! IT\'S FROM VIP #! JUST OPPOSITE ACROSS VIP #09! WHAT A SPECTACULAR BID! 600! ANY HIGHER?!"
Eclipse, on the other hand, raised an eyebrow and looked over at the direction where the VIP # was and looked at the direction where the MC stated, and the world-hopper saw the number in that balcony.
\'Ho. What do we have here?\'
The world-hopper couldn\'t peer through those curtains at the balcony of VIP # since he doesn\'t have any ssory ability, unlike Arico but that doesn\'t matter anyway.
Right now, he needs to win this bid, and he looked at his companion and said; "Bid higher. Until that person gave up. No matter what happs, that item should be mine and shouldn\'t ever fall into someone\'s hands. I don\'t care how much you bid for that item since I\'ll take care this matter afterwards."
Arico, as someone who doesn\'t care about this kind of evt but since the world-hopper rarely would have this kind of interest to a certain item, the Slayer Agt could tell that this item seems to be important to Eclipse and he would gladly abide his orders.
"800!"
After Arico stated his bid higher, the MC looked back and forth at the two VIP rooms who seemed to be competing with each other for this item and the MC knew the idtity of the person at VIP #.
Of course, who else? It\'s other than…. The first young master from Duke Evell household.
\'However, that doesn\'t mean that the establishmt would just abide the whims of a child, compared to the chos person at the VIP #09 who at least have some reputation amongst the common people and maybe, within the noble society of this Empire.\'
The MC thought while snickering internally because of some brat\'s childish behavior and just snapped from those thoughts as he smiles once more while facing the crowd and stated; "VIP #09 bids for 800! ANY HIGHER THAN THAT?!"
"900!"
The person from VIP # still bid for more and the audice couldn\'t help but click their tongue in annoyance and mockery towards the person who occupied the VIP # because of its ignorance.
\'Whoever this person was, good luck on your misery! Tsk!\'
Those were the thoughts of the audice while watching the evt siltly on their seats and waited for that idiot person who recklessly defied that person in VIP #09.
Back at the balcony VIP #09, Arico sighed because of the persistce of someone in that room and the Slayer Agt didn\'t want to banter back and forth for bidding so he raised the bid higher no one would ever dare to bid any longer.
"5500!"
With that amount, the Slayer Agt sighed in frustration for stating that much amount of money and he couldn\'t help but gulped nervously because it seems like he bid an unreasonable amount of money just because he is quite frustrated and wanted to d this quickly.
\'However, Eclipse told me that I should bid as much money as I can until that person surrders so, it wasn\'t my fault this time though and I\'m just following some orders.\'
The Slayer Agt thought as if he convinced himself on that part but nevertheless, he didn\'t want to look at the expression of his companion though.
Wh Arico placed the bid higher, the audice couldn\'t help but gasped because that amount of money is too much just for a sword but th again, recalling from who\'s household he belong to, they could only just shake off their heads and just remained silt in their hearts.
The MC, on the other hand, was also shocked at the amount for the bid but that didn\'t make him dispirited but rather, it boosted its confidce with a smile as he said; "5500! THAT\'S THE HIGHEST BID FOR THIS EVENT! IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO WANTS TO BID MORE?!"
\'Hey, are you f*cking kidding us?! Do you still want to raise that bid ev higher?!\'
The audice could only grumble in annoyance and glared back at the MC like piercing to its skull and most of them are murdering the poor man in their thoughts because of his careless statemt.
\'Hey, if you want a fight, let\'s fight th! No need to rub into our faces that we couldn\'t afford that amount of money!\'
All of them could only grit into their teeth while the MC remains oblivious of such negative thoughts from the audice a him.
The MC looked a the audice and it seemed like no one would want to dare to bid higher, he ev took a glance at the balcony of VIP # and could only hear some shattered sound coming from that room and the MC snickered internally.
\'Tsk! How was that? Just because you\'re the ruling Lord\'s first young master doesn\'t mean that everything would handle to you at the silver platter! And now, you\'re whining like the spoiled child you are!\'
The MC thought as he divert his atttion away from that room and said; "5500! THE BID CAME FROM VIP #09! GOING ONCE…. GOING TWICE—"
"6500!" – an arrogant voice coming from VIP # once more and the audice couldn\'t believe that person\'s thick face for bidding for more and most of them could think that this pompous young master seemed like his just messing a and think about this evt as nothing but his playg.
The MC stopped his speech as he looked at the VIP # once more because that pompous young master seems like he\'s messing a, and the MC couldn\'t tolerate this kind of behavior and its within his right to [teach some lesson] for those people who disrespect this place.
This establishmt isn\'t some sort of ordinary establishmt like others out there who would always cater to the whims of the younger nobles, and the owner of this establishmt isn\'t someone that could be trifle a.
\'Ev the ruling Lord of this territory are quite respectful to the owner since Duke Evell household is a merchant household so of course, those people within that household knows how to make befits for themselves and knows who to respect and knows how to retreat.\'
