344 Auction (1/2)

”Then, I need to force you.”

”!!!” All of them immediately looked at Alex.

”Big brother Alex, I am sure that big sister Luna is joking.” Evelyn suddenly sweatdropped as she looked at Anna, who suddenly picked up her scythe. She even forgot to call him 'Redna.' She knew Alex was not a person like that. If not, Putri or Song Yu might already become his.

But when the situation became tense like this, Alex continued with an unexpected reply. ”Zhou Kingdom has started its invasion once again toward this kingdom with a hundred thousand soldiers.”

”!!!”

Alex decided to say it so they could prevent the Zhou Kingdom from getting stronger. It was by no means because of Evelyn or Luna. If the Thiveapia Kingdom could stop the Zhou Kingdom with enough preparation, Alex was sure it could prevent the Zhou Kingdom from getting stronger or attacking the Hazel Kingdom.

”Fu…Fufu… You are joking, right?” Luna stuttered as she thought Alex only said that because he wanted her to go away. But among the information she had read, she knew the reason why the Southern Kingdom could win the war was thanks to Alex's information.

Alex told Putri, which led her to be rewarded by the king himself because of her contribution. They learned that there were five hundred Martial Lords, and around three hundred of them were killed on the battlefield.

It was because of Alex's information that they could prevent the worst tragedy. But she could not understand why the Southern Kingdom wanted to kill Alex. After all, if it were only Intan and Mega, they would not do something that extreme.

But it was not the topic. Alex just said that the Zhou Kingdom started their invasion of Thiveapia Kingdom. If this was true, then they should prepare the countermeasure immediately.

”You can even check it yourself for all I care.”

”Big brother Alex, are you sure about this? This is not a joke to chase away big sister Luna, right?” Evelyn asked as her face became pale.

”I have said my piece, whether you believe it or not, it is up to you.” Alex only shrugged his shoulder.

With every information about Alex, Luna certainly could not let this go. She contemplated a little bit before she rose from her seat. ”Fufu… Esteemed guest's reputation is truly well deserved. I need to excuse myself.”

She walked toward the door, but before she left, she said, ”Esteemed guest, you need to be careful with the first prince. And I am sure Evelyn could explain it to you the reason.”

She finally left the room. Alex then grabbed the list of the auction. He was looking at it while waiting for Evelyn to say anything.

”Big brother Alex… you are not joking about that?”

”No. Anyway, what did she mean I should be careful with this crown prince?”

”I…” Evelyn did not know how to answer. She sighed and decided to tell him honestly. ”Well, because his status as the kingdom's successor is threatened.”

”And the threat is you,” Alex said.

”Yes.”

”…” Alex sighed. He could imagine why Evelyn became the thorn for this 'crown prince.' After all, she was the number one genius of Thiveapia Kingdom. And with him training her, she was even more monstrous.

Alex did not know this crown prince. But judging from the cultivation he saw just now, he should also be considered as a genius. But with Evelyn's existence, he might even lose his position. It was possible as this world was ruled by the strong.

You couldn't do anything with strength. And with the warning from Luna, Alex could ascertain that the crown prince might do something funny to him or her. He sighed as he was a bit tired of dealing with this.

”Then, what do you think about this?”

”I… I don't have any intention to become the leader of this kingdom. I rather have training and protecting the country than ruling the kingdom. In fact, I could say that I like the situation in Heavenly Sword Sect. So, if what big brother said about the Zhou Kingdom is right.

”I will participate in the war then immediately go back to Heavenly Sword Sect.”

”Suit yourself,” Alex said. Well, he also wanted to participate in the war for EXP.

”!!!”

Alex just found something unbelievable. It was a rank 5 medicinal herb called Olette Fruit. This medicinal herb was one of the ingredients for rank 5 pill. But Alex never thought about using it as a pill's ingredient.

If he could refine it a little bit and take the essence, he could use it to enhance his Spirit Eyes. That way, the Spirit Eyes would be more completed.

He would be immune to illusion. His current Spirit Eyes could discern whether it was an illusion or not. Still, it was not at the level of immunity. If he enhanced this, as long as he did not will it, he would not get trapped inside an illusion.

This would be useful if he fought with a higher array master that specialized in illusion. He would not be able to trap him in the slightest.  It seemed this flower was one of the main attractions in today's auction since Alex saw this flower just right before the last item, the box.

After he got this flower, he only needed one more medicinal herb for his Spirit Eyes. It was a rank 7 herb, and Alex doubted he could find it anytime soon. It was said that his Spirit Eyes could even see a person's karma if he enhanced his Spirit Eyes with that herb. Sadly, there was no record of seeing something like someone's Fate or Life and death. Well, the Spirit Eyes was already OP without that.

Well, he alone had more than 55 million Spirit Stones since he got 40 million Spirit Stones from selling pills with around 20 million Spirit Stones he had earlier. But a portion of them were Spirit Gems. At first, Alex had 10 million worth Spirit Gem. But he had used half of them to cultivate. So, Alex had around 55 million Spirit Stones currently.

He was wondering if he could buy both items with his current wealth. Alex just hoped he could.

Just when he was thinking about it, there was someone knocking on the door.

Alex twitched his eyebrows.

”Evelyn, tell whoever it is to go away,” Alex said.

”Un.” Evelyn nodded her head as she went to check who it was.
