19 Robbery (1/2)
”We Will Resume The Auction Shortly! Please Be Patient!”
The Dragon Emperor left the Auction House as he couldn't afford to lose more face in front of the other Emperors. The other Emperor's were already laughing their a.s.ses off; if the Dragon Emperor knew of this he would commit *die* out of embarra.s.sment.

”Hahaha!”
”Did you see the FAT PIG?”
”I would have killed myself if I were in his position! Hahahaha!”
The Phoenix Emperor had animosity with the Dragon Emperor so as all the other Emperors. The Dragon Emperor was a ”frog in the well”; naive and unrefined.
*Knock*
*Knock*
”Emperor, We have found the two princes.” The Phoenix Emperor's advisor was sent to find the trash Alex had recycled earlier.
”Hahaha! Don't just stand outside! Bring them!”
*Gulp*
The advisor readied himself for what the Emperor might say; ordering the guards to bring the two stretchers inside. Both of them were crippled and their bodies distorted in ways that shouldn't be humanly possible.
The Emperor's eyes almost left their sockets as his sons got carried in and placed on the sofa. Not saying a word; the Emperor stared his advisor down wanting an explanation.
”Your Highness, please let me explain!” He looked up after to see that the Emperor taking a seat on the sofa beside his sons.
”Go On!”
”To my understanding based on the intel gathered from the witnesses, the Princes were at the VIP Dining Hall when it all took place. They got into a skirmish with Alex Rager the Child Prodigy of Miss Alexandra. They requested for a lady that was brought by him.”
”Get to the point; I want to know who started this.” The Emperor was displeased.
”I was told the Princes forcefully tried to take the lady and Alex Rager stepped in when they put their hands on the lady. Your Highness; please think this through.”
”I know, I know” The Emperor clearly seemed disappointed as he thought:
'd.a.m.n it all. Why Today? The 2 of the Prodigies of my nation. I can't even ask them for compensation for their injuries. Not even retaliate! Miss Alexandra and the Auction House has gained unfathomable power over these few years. It's not something I could offend. d.a.m.n it all.'
The Emperor was in no position to do anything about it then curse the heavens for his family has 2 cripples now.
”Remind me when the Auction is over; I need to go apologies on the behalf of my crippled sons.”
”I will arrange a meeting right away”

”1 Mid-Grade Stone!”
”1 Mid-Grade and 2 Low-Grade Stones!”
”1 Mid-Grade and 5 Low-Grade Stones!”
”2 Mid-Grade Stones!”
”1...2...3...Sold! The Divine LavaCado goes to the Sun & Moon Empress for 2 Mid-Grade Spiritual Stones!”
The Auction went on in this fas.h.i.+on as the various Elites bid to get their hands on the Divine Fruits.
Everything went as expected until the last Divine Fruit:
The Next And Last Divine Fruit To Be Auctioned Is The Divine LavaCado!
”h.e.l.l Yeah”
”Let's get it rolling already”
”I heard the last divine fruit makes all the n.o.bles go in a frenzy”
”It's true! At the last Auction, the n.o.bles fought for the last Divine Fruit like a bunch of hungry wolves.”

'shut the f**k up' thought Alex who was in the middle of celebrating his victory.
I wonder if the recycled garbage got picked up yet. Well, whatever.
I'll just have to wait and see what they do about it.

On a 3rd floor VIP Room, an old man and a young girl sat in waiting.
”Old Man! When are u gonna start bidding? We came to investigate these Divine Fruits not to watch a bunch of pigs show off.”
”You better bid everything u got or it will be your life!”
”Young Miss, no need to rush, the show only starts now.”
”I don't care whether u give ur life or money, just get that fruit old man.”
