Chapter 346: Heated Situation
346 Heated Situation
"Of course, along with his corpse!"
Jack and the crown prince were dumbfounded when they heard Oliver. They smiled evilly. This masked man had offended Elder Oliver, and he would not have a good ending.
"Anyway, he would not be able to compete with us in the last item since he has spent 21 million Spirit Stones in this flower alone."
Alex finally got the item with 21 million Spirit Stones. He was relieved since he did not need to use more of his money. But he also knew that they might try to steal this flower for him. After all, even if he decided not to do it, it did not mean others would not do it.
If they truly came to him, then Alex did not mind in exterminating them. Alex could easily summon Leoz and the others to help him.
When the bid for the flower had ended. Evelyn immediately requested for time.
"We are going to have a thirty-minute break!" Matthew immediately said.
Alex did not do anything other than waiting for Anna to come back. He only had 34 million Spirit Stones left to spend. But he did not know the bottom line of those people.
After waiting for quite a while, Anna finally came back. She handed him the s.p.a.ce ring back.
"Here is yours. I got around fifty million Spirit Stones from all of them. We could not get that much from those rusty weapons that Mithra gave since almost all of them were unusable. And we came without any deal or preparation, so they did not have money.
"I tried to fight as high as possible. Ultimately, they used all of their guild"s savings, thus resulting in this fifty million Spirit Stones."
"It is good enough. I never expect them to sell this much." Alex said while nodding his head.
Evelyn was surprised that Alex got another fifty million just from those weapons. She never thought Alex had this much money. She was wondering how much money Alex had at this moment.
"Big brother Alex… you are really a tyc.o.o.n. Maybe you should become my sugar daddy." Evelyn said.
Alex was dumbfounded when he heard that. He never thought this world also had such a term. He was wondering where Evelyn heard that phrase. "Cough!... Evelyn, why do you know that term?"
"Ah! One of the palace"s maids said she was getting money from one of the officials. I heard she only needed to do everything he asked for, and she would get money. I also have done everything Big Brother Alex said like training and so on. I heard that when I came back to the castle a few days ago." Evelyn said innocently.
Alex and Anna were facepalmed. To think there was a person who tainted this innocent girl. And she also did not understand the whole thing. He was wondering if it was good or not.
But Anna had a different mind, she dragged Evelyn a little bit before whispering something on her ears.
"Se-se..S*x… I… with big brother Alex?" Evelyn was shocked when she heard the real meaning of Sugar Daddy from Anna.
And when Alex saw that, he rolled his head away. Anna finally corrupted Evelyn"s mind.
"I am just teaching her the truth," Anna said. Of course, she knew the term only because of Alex"s memory.
"Big brother… I… Evelyn did not say it seriously… I…" Evelyn did not know what to explain as she was too embarra.s.sed. She wanted to dig a hole and hid herself there. She never thought that she said something vulgar like that, especially to Alex, who she respected the most.
Alex only shook his head. "I know. You are not that kind of person. But, you should be careful of what you hear or what you say."
"Un!" Evelyn nodded weakly, trying to hide so he could not find her.
Not long after, Matthew came back to the stage as he opened the last item for today"s auction. It was truly the same green box that Alex had.
But, this green box had more arrays from the box Alex had. And when Alex saw the array, he could comprehend it with his current knowledge. It was the same as the key that Maxwell gave to him. It was a key to open a barrier array.
The only thing he could think of, there must be a special realm on the Northern Continent. He remembered when Mithra said she was chased because of this box. So, this special realm would be powerful or unique that made many people want it.
It seemed it was not good to show it when he arrived at the Northern Continent later.
"We found this box a few months ago. We have been searching for the usage of this box, but our team could not decipher it. So, our kingdom decided to sell it in this auction."
"What?"
"If you could not decipher it, why the heck would you sell it?"
"This must be a scam."
The people were mad when Matthew said they did not know anything about this box.
"Of course, I know your concern. But just look at this… this array is so exquisite and unique. One of our array masters said that this array is beyond a rank 4 Array." Matthew said."
"What?"
"Beyond a rank 4 array?"
"Unlike Alchemist or Forging Master. We don"t have any rank 5 array master in this continent. But if we have this box, someone might be able to reach rank 5 Array Master."
Many people were shocked once again. Their rage suddenly turned to shock when they knew the truth.
"The starting price is 10 million Spirit Stones. And every bid could not be lower than one million Spirit Stones. Start!"
"10 million! Our Mount Hua Sect wants it! If anyone wants to partic.i.p.ate in it, then prepare for our Mount Hua Sect"s retaliation." Elder Oliver shouted.
Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard that. They just wanted to bid it, but to think that Elder Oliver immediately shouted something like that. They did not dare to raise the price. They were scared to be the enemy of Mount Hua Sect.
Yeah. Everybody was scared, except for Alex"s group.
"15 million!"
Oliver immediately looked at Alex again hatefully. This b.a.s.t.a.r.d had been trying to get what they wanted.
"Father, he should not have more money! We should also try to embarra.s.s him! We will let him see what kind of consequence he would have by offending our Mount Hua Sect."
"Hmph, I know!" Oliver snorted.
"20 million!"
"21 million!" Alex said. He could raise five million at a time because he knew. If he fought them in this item again, it would exceed 20 million. So, Alex decided to skip the bidding process a little bit by raising five million. And when they reached 20 million, Alex would start to slow down since Alex wanted to win, not to flaunt his wealth.
"25 million! Hmph." Oliver snorted.
"26 million," Alex said casually.
"30 million! Hmph, you won"t be able to compete with our Mount Hua Sect"s wealth!" Oliver snorted. But Oliver also got a bit worried, since they only had around 40 million. But, their Mount Hua Sect should be the wealthiest in this continent. Since Alex had spent 21 million just for the flower, he should not have that much money anymore.
"31 million!" Alex just said casually. He was not offended or something since he did not need to do so.
"3… 33 million!"
"34 million! You are not going to bid another five million?" Alex instantly said while trying to trigger Oliver.
"You… Don"t push your luck! 35 million! And I request for the auction"s head to check his wealth. I am not sure that he has that much money left and is planning to raise the price with a money that does not exist." Oliver said.
"…" When everyone heard that, they were dumbfounded.
Matthew was also worrying about this. Although he knew Alex had at least 20 million Spirit Stones when he registered in the auction, he did not know exactly how much money he had brought. After all, unlike the Mount Hua Sect, Alex had no background or whatsoever.
He only knew that Evelyn brought him to this auction. And Luna also did not tell him anything about the real ident.i.ty of this masked man.
He could only sigh as he went to Alex"s VVIP room personally.
"I deeply apologize, esteemed guest. But we truly need to check whether you can afford this many Spirit Stones. I will keep what I see as a secret. With Heaven and Earth as my witness." Matthew said apologetically. He even made a Heavenly Oath for this rude action.
Alex threw two s.p.a.ce Rings to him. There were 21 million Spirit Stones inside the first s.p.a.ce ring and another fifty million Spirit Stones inside the second one.
When Matthew checked that. He was too shocked to see this much money inside his s.p.a.ce ring. "But, you can"t just check my personal wealth just because he said so. I also want him to be checked."
Alex said in a volume that everyone could hear, especially that Oliver.
"…Yes." Matthew eventually nodded his head before heading toward Oliver"s room. To think Alex had that much wealth, he could not comprehend what kind of background he had. He tried to ask about his ident.i.ty from Evelyn a few days ago, but Evelyn did not say anything.
After all, the Mount Hua Sect was full of Alchemists and Forging Masters. They had ama.s.sed money for so long, so their pocket would be deep. Unfortunately, Oliver could not bring all the wealth from Mount Hua Sect to this place.
When Matthew came to Oliver"s place, Oliver handed him the s.p.a.ce ring with a snort. Alex had deliberately said so everyone could hear. If they rejected this or tried to make a fuss, they would think that Mount Hua Sect had no credibility or was too overbearing.
Matthew also checked there were 40 million Spirit Stones inside Oliver"s s.p.a.ce ring. After checking both of their s.p.a.ce Rings, Matthew knew who would win this item. Of course, on the premise, they fought till the end.
"I truly apologize for our inconvenience, and I can a.s.sure you they have enough money. So, without further ado, we will start again from 34 million Spirit Stones! If Mount Hua Sect decides to stop, this item will immediately go to the other guest."
"35 million!" Of course, Oliver had no intention to give up. He had provoked him earlier, and if he lost this round, they would become a laughing stock.
"36 million!" Sadly, he would not be able to win Alex since Alex had 84 million to spare to compete for this item.
"40 million!" Oliver shouted with great difficulty as he said all of the Spirit Stones they had at the moment.
Alex did not say anything first. Judging from that desperate shout, Alex could see that he was near his bottom line, or they might even already be in their bottom line. Oliver thought he had won because of this silence.
Sadly, Alex immediately destroyed his imagination, "41 million!"
"You… Our Mount Hua Sect will remember this!" Oliver shouted as he felt he truly lost face today. Not only they failed in bringing the medicinal herbs home, but they also failed in buying this item. All of it was because of a masked man.
"Elder Oliver, I can lend you my personal wealth first. I have 15 million. We can fight him together." Suddenly the crown prince said.
Oliver was surprised. He immediately nodded his head. "Good good good. I will inform the sect master for your contribution if we win this item."
The crown prince only nodded his head with a smile. There was also another reason why he decided to lend all of his personal wealth to Oliver. It was because Evelyn brought Alex here. Her talent had been threatening his position this whole time, and if he lost again, he might lose his position as a crown prince.
He could not afford that.
When Oliver got the money, he immediately shouted as he won. He did not think that Alex could win anymore with this newly acquired wealth. "45 million! Our Mount Hua Sect wants it!"
