Chapter 280 The Auction (Part Two)
Anyway, if we can find a couple of treasures in the auction, it will be a worthwhile trip for us."
The five men entered inside.
...
Inside room 63 of the Ganges Auction House, Austin was busy in his meditation and his eyes were
closed. He had been sitting like this for a while now and the maidservant was angry and resentful at his
nonchnt manner. He had been acting like a monk or a hermit.
''Damn! What kind of guest am I stuck with? Is he a eunuch or something? Why the hell isn''t he reacting
to all my seduction efforts?'' She thought furiously.
The maidservants in the VIP area were officially paid to serve the guests. But the tips they received far
outweighed their sries if they could satisfy those guests through sex.
As the ticket to enter the VIP area of the auction house could only be afforded by the very rich, the
maids were sure to receive highly generous rewards for their efforts.
But this particr maid hadn''t expected that she would encounter a guest that day who waspletely
oblivious to her honey-trap.
Ding-dong! Ding-dong!
The bell rang out through the hall of the auction house and
its resounding tinkling sound could be heard across the whole building, which was extremelyrge in
size. The hubbub of the crowd gradually waned and gave way to a calm and anxious silence. Everyone
turned their eyes towards the center of the hall where a crystal tform was situated. Their gazes were
filled with anticipation and enthusiasm.
"Ho ho ho! Hello, everyone! I am sure that you all are getting impatient. So, I will skip the cliched
opening lines and start the auction directly."
A grey-haired old man announced as he walked to the center of the stage. There was a crystal desk
situated before. His eyes ran down the hall which was packed with a dense crowd, and a wide smile
spread across his face.
Then he rested his eyes on the VIP area for a few seconds and looked away again.
His sounds still reverberated through the hall.
As an experienced auctioneer, he knew clearly what the guests really wanted to see and hear and was
aware of what they didn''t like. Therefore, he cut off the crap of greetings and got straight to the point.
As it turned out, a huge round of apuse burst out on his first dialogue only. The old man had won the
crowd''s hearts with his straight-forward manner.
Several guests in the VIP area also nodded with smiles on their faces. They were all extremely rich and
had several thousand vital energy crystals tucked away.
"Gentlemen! This is an auction by the Ganges Auction House. I assure you that you will not be
disappointed today."
The old man pped his hands, and announced, "Now I dere, the auction of the Ganges Auction
House, open!
As soon as the old man was finished, dazzling lights suddenly burst out from the huge crystal tform,
as if the dramatic effort was a part of his dialogue too.
After a long while, the harsh re gradually disappeared. A blue colored sword, long in size and
glittering coldly under the harsh stage lighting, slowly rose up from the table thaty before the old
man. The aura that surrounded this sword sent shivers down some people''s spines. It must have been
an extraordinary sword.
"This, gentlemen, is a Cold de Sword; it''s extremely powerful! It is made out of dark steel buried
under the sea for tens of thousands of years. Beware, for this is a high-grade spiritual weapon.
It is extremely sharp and would cut clean through iron like knife through butter. Did I mention that there
is a level three diabolic core perfectly iid within it? Because there is!
If you practice martial arts of water or ice nature, this sword is a perfect weapon to battle against
people. Your powers inbat will grow mightier with this magic sword.
It''s a must-have weapon for every warrior! If anyone of you is interested, which I am sure you are, don''t
be stingy with your money today. Money is precious, but you have to be alive to enjoy it. Haha!"
The old man held the sword in his hand and gave it a shake. Cold air began to rise from the sword and
formed wispy mists around it. He turned towards the crowd and remarked with a smile, "The floor price
is thirty thousand vital energy crystals, please start the bidding."
"High-grade spiritual weapon with a diabolic core within it, no thanks!"
Looking at the sword, Austin muttered. He didn''t have much interest in it.
He already had a high-grade spiritual weapon; his Violet Royal Sword. The Cold de Sword was
indeed very rare and very powerful, but it was in no way, better than the Violet Royal Sword.
If he had bought this item, he would possess two simr swords, which would be totally unnecessary
and aplete waste of his money. Although Austin had a lot of vital energy crystals with him, he still
had to pay for the materials he was going to use to cultivate the third stage of the Overlord Body-
refining Form. Moreover, Austin had nned that once he had enough money, he would also
purchase the materials for the fourth stage, or even the fifth stage of the that form. It had been
extremely helpful for him.
So, now was not the time to squander his vital energy crystals.
Therefore, Austin didn''t have the slightest intention to bid for the sword.
He knew better than anyone else that the best item was always shownst in such situations.
However, Austin''sck of interest did not mean no one was interested in the sword.
A good weapon to a warrior was like a herbal pot to a pill refiner. They were both indispensable and the
higher in power and ranking, the better.
So, after the old man''s words sank in, the bidding amount rose steeply and several times.
After several rounds, the Cold de Sword finally fell in the hands of anky man with a humongous
price of six hundred thousand vital energy crystals.
After the first item was sessfully auctioned, a dazzling array of treasures appeared on the table one
by one for auction; precious armors, martial arts skills, cultivation methods, herbs and many other
paraphernalia.
Most surprising of all, one of the items for auction turned out to be a beautifuldy. Austin''s jaws
dropped open when the girl was brought onto the stage.
She looked very young, most probably at the tiny age of twelve or thirteen. But her body shape was
insane!
N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.
A G-Cup mour teenage girl! She blushed scarlet at the numerous gazes boring into her.
The appearance of this gorgeous and beautiful girl immediately brought out the animal lust that was
hidden inside the men present there. They became horny and seemed ready to pounce on her at any
time.
In the end, the girl was sold for four hundred thousand vital energy crystals. The insane count of zeroes
in the number made the old man conducting the auction grin from ear to ear. Austin calmly looked at
those ugly men through the crystal screen in his room. He was sitting still with his eyes slightly closed,
waiting for the item that would attract him.
