Chapter 584: Was Full of Himself and Slapped Many Times in the Face
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Adrian made up his mind and immediately urged the auctioneer on the stage, “Since your distinguished guest from the Dragon Race has requested for the auction to continue, what are you still waiting for?”
Although Adrian was prepared to make a move, he was uncertain if he could destroy his target in one strike. After all, there was still Randall sitting in between him and Vincent.
If Randall made a move midway, Adrian was uncertain if he could survive Randall’s attack.
Therefore, in order to kill Vincent perfectly, Adrian had to come up with a perfect plan. The first step of his plan was to continue the auction.
When the auctioneer on the stage heard this, he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead in a hurry and said with a smile, “Please wait a moment, the auction will begin immediately!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the secret door beside the auction stage slowly opened and a guard from the Star Race walked out with a huge round plate in his hands.
When the auctioneer saw this, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief and quickly announced, “Next, let me introduce the second item to everyone. This is a special piece of equipment created by hundreds of artisans of the Star Race, the star compa.s.s! The star compa.s.s is equipment forged using the star marrow produced after the fall of the Star Race. We fused the star marrow with a small portion of the Black Hole fragments. The star compa.s.s allows one to form a mysterious connection with all the worlds in the Black Hole. No matter which world its user is in, it will be able to sense its user’s chosen destination. It will then be able to provide guidance and directions to the user. It is a necessity if you want to explore worlds and search for treasures. At the same time, it can also restrain most hallucinogenic arrays!”
Adrian, who had originally wanted to kill Vincent, could not help but look at the stage greedily.
Although this artifact would not increase the user’s combat strength, it possessed a rather powerful ability. Other than searching for treasures and restraining hallucinogenic arrays, Adrian thought of another use. He could use the divine equipment to track down and kill anyone. This way, if the Moon a.s.sociation wanted to eliminate anyone in the future, they would be able to do so without any difficulty!
Adrian asked excitedly, “Quick, tell me, how much is this piece of equipment?”
The auctioneer did not hesitate at all. He immediately said, “Because the material of this piece of equipment is made from the remains of the Star Race, it has an extraordinary significance to the Star Race. The reason why it is on the auction stage today is because of the arrival of all the distinguished guests. Therefore, we must find the owner with the most wealth for it. The starting price is five million red crystals!”
“I bid six million!”
Adrian began to bid without any further explanation. He wanted the star compa.s.s to be his.
Following Adrian’s bid, Vincent chimed in almost immediately, “12 million red crystals!”
The auction had just begun, and Vincent had raised the bid rashly again. This was extremely impolite in the eyes of anyone, not to mention in front of the Ghost Bug Race, which was known for being narrow-minded.
Adrian stood up with an angry expression and questioned Vincent, “B*stard, what exactly are you trying to do?”
Vincent turned his head and glanced at Adrian indifferently. Although the son of the Moon a.s.sociation was stronger than him, he was still not a level 60 creature, so he was not worth worrying about at all. Therefore, Vincent just smiled and said, “The auctioneer had just said that this equipment should belong to someone who has strength. I believe that in terms of financial resources or strength, I am the most suitable person to obtain this equipment. Do you have any objections?”
Adrian gritted his teeth and said, “Alright, I want to see what kind of strength you have today. I bid 13 million red crystals!”
“26 million!”
Vincent immediately followed up with a bid. He had once again doubled Adrian’s bid.
When Adrian heard this, he could not help but say angrily, “Alright, just you wait!”
This was because Vincent’s bid had once again exceeded his limit. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and vent his anger.
Adrian squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth. He turned around and sat back down on the sofa. At the same time, he adjusted his sitting position.
Due to the innate talent of the Ghost Bug Race, this particular sitting posture was more convenient for him to strike. Adrian was able to unleash a lightning strike at any time.
Randall tilted his head slightly and glanced at Adrian. He seemed to have seen through his actions but he did not say anything more. He just looked away.
After Adrian noticed Randall’s actions, his mood finally became much better, because he felt like Randall was encouraging him. It seemed that the Dragon Race had tacitly agreed and even hoped that he could kill Vincent.
As Adrian thought about it, his sinister face suddenly revealed a smile. This was because he remembered that as long as he could kill Vincent, all the items that Vincent had bid for would become his.
When that time came, he would be able to curry favor with the Dragon Race and obtain all the treasures without spending a single cent. He believed that he had come up with the perfect plan.
Adrian raised his head and said to the auctioneer with an unwilling expression, “I’m withdrawing from the auction. Quickly announce the winner!”
The auctioneer could not wait for the auction to end. After hearing what Adrian said, he immediately raised the auction hammer in his hand. He was prepared to announce the winner.
“I bid 30 million red crystals!”
A calm voice interrupted the auctioneer, forcing Adrian’s plan to be put on hold once again.
“Who the f*ck is it this time?”
Adrian stood up angrily and turned his head to look at the auction hall.
He saw a thin figure in a black robe. He was standing in a corner near the entrance, his arm raised high.
Adrian saw this and said with a murderous look, “The Moon a.s.sociation is not happy with today’s auction. I hope you will not partic.i.p.ate in it, or else you will have to bear the consequences!”
The calm figure replied in neither servile nor overbearing manner, “I have no intention of partic.i.p.ating in your grudges. However, I am about to partic.i.p.ate in an important mission. This equipment is very important to me. I hope that all the important figures can be magnanimous and give me a chance!”
Adrian noticed that the figure’s att.i.tude was good. However, he still did not show him the respect that he wanted. His heart was instantly filled with hatred, and he also added the other party to his must-kill list.
Nevertheless, Adrian did not have the time to deal with such a small matter at the moment. He could only stabilize the battlefield first. At the same time, he wanted to build up a good image and convince others with virtue. He sneered and said, “Alright, I’ll give you the chance. It depends on whether you have the wealth to get this equipment!”
Just as Adrian finished speaking, Vincent said casually, “I’ll offer 60 million red crystals.. This piece of equipment is mine. None of you can compete with me!”
