Chapter 11 Chapter: 011 Spirit Body Manual (2/2)
Theodore forced out: ”370,000!”
...
When the price got to 430,000, Ray had to stop bidding. 430,000 was enough to force the powerful Green Lake City's Mercenary Association into a financial crisis.
”450,000!” Seeing Ray again, Theodore did not get a chance to celebrate before Violet's price. Looking at Violet, Theodore was filled with rage. In the three families of copper cities, Branches and Miller were allies, the Branches that have a Duke in the family do not need this Body Manual. While Miller and Reyes didn't have any, which is why Theodore was willing to pay any price to get this Spiritual Body Manual.
Under the gleeful look of Violet, Theodore clenched his teeth and spit out: ”460,000!”
”500,000!” Them Violet raised the price to a whole new level!
At the center of the auction hall, watching the two fight over the bids, Natalie's beautiful smile became even more charming.
”600,000!” With his eyes red, Theodore finally decided to raise the price again after a brief pause.
”Alright, you win.” Contrary to everyone's predictions, when Violet heard Theodore's proposal, Violet just laughed and teased Theodore.
The happiness in Theodore's expression was quickly replaced with a dark face, as he realized he had been played…
”Fuck!,I have been cheated! I'll remember this Violet!” After cursing at Violet, Theodore raised his head to look at the crowd laughing. Even though he was extremely angry and sad, he wasn't one to be dictated by his emotions and with tears on his face , he tried to suppress his emotions: ”Lady Natalie, should the auction end?”
Trying not to laugh at Theodore's sad stare, Natalie smiled calmly. Her eyes held a hint of pity, looking at the naive Theodore, so she tapped the hammer in his hand.
”Whis Spirit Body Manual shall go to Miller's Family Chief, Theodore Miller!”
After the final moments of the auction, Elijah and his father smiled and slowly got up, and walked to take their itens.
...
Outside the auction house, Elijah was testing his new hammer when Henry saw his old friend Theodore walking alone on the streets. ”Theodore, my friend are you okay?” Theodore raised his head, seeing his friend he said with a depressed voice.
”I'm good, you don't need to worry it's just that bitch. I don't know how i loved her for twenty years and din't realized she was only playing with me, in the end she married that traitor Michael. And I'm still played by her hand. Before we left the auction house she came to me and said to not be angry because 'we're friends', you heard me? she said 'FRIENDS!'. It's not as if I regretted marrying my wife, I love her and our three children, but this bitch makes me so frustrated.”
Henry felling sorry for his depressed friend said.”Son, go to the inn and wait for me. I will drink with your uncle Theodore until he calm down.” and he take his friend to the Pub while his son walked to the inn.
Seeing his father leaving with Theodore, Elijah heard shadow's voice ”Kid, remember to not ever become a pitiful man like that, okay?”
