Chapter 258: The Auction house fiasco - I (1/2)

The Auction began and Sam threw a spatial ring to Watt and said.

”Buy whatever you like and don't forget to bid for Carton. I will tell you if I need anything. Don't care about the price.

The money would be the least of our worries.

Sam relaxed after saying this, as he spectated the Auction.

There are many people who attended the auction. This auction is completely full of war spoils. There are special weapons of some generals, special treasures and heirlooms of some Dukes and Marquises. There are many other things. Apart from that, there is also the equipment collected from the dead bodies of the enemy soldiers which are auctioned in bulk.

The war slaves are the last category. Watt didn't buy any of the treasures. They have a boatload of them, but he doesn't use the treasures of this quality. Everything Sam makes is more efficient and of more effectiveness in the battle.

The turn for War slaves came. The Nascent stage cultivators are last, so it started from Acolytes who are auctioned in groups of thirty people.

After that, the initial stage Novices are auctioned off and soon the time for Peak stage Novices came. From then on, people are auctioned individually.

Sam looked at Watt, who didn't buy anything but he seemed to be eager for something, so he didn't mind. He is waiting for the finale. He didn't know if the finale is a great object or a powerful slave, but if it is something interesting, he can buy it off.

Sam observed the slaves closely, to be honest, this auction is quite boring. The people who came to buy are mostly nobility and they want these things to be in their collection to increase their status and glory.

But for the slaves, they would be bought according to their ability.

While he watched as the auction went on, finally some special slaves are out for the auction.

These people comprised of the noble scions and ladies. They are well-groomed and taught greatly and there is a high chance they have the arts of their families in their possession. The ladies will make a great collection in their harem. Apart from that, they are young and at Peak stage Novice after some brainwashing, they can be good assets to groom for their potential. So, they are hot stuff in the auction.

Soon two familiar faces appeared on the auction. They are Princess Natalie and a blond woman in a red dress who pleaded Sam to leave Natalie alone.

He was a bit surprised. He does know that Natalie would be a special treat, but this Blond woman is a whole different story.

The auctioneer announced.

”The Princess of the Orion Natalie and the Fiancee of the late Crown Prince of Orion Felicia.

The contract for a decade.

The first bid for Princess Natalie.

Initial bid 1 million spirit stones.”

”1 million and one hundred thousand.”

”1 million and three hundred thousand.”

”1 million and five hundred thousand.”

The bidding started.

All of the have only one aim and that is to first bid for the princess, then put her through some cruel tasks and after a month or two offer her a hand in marriage. This way, they would have the princess of the defeated empire as their wife or consort.

But Sam is not interested in the bidding war. Rather he was a bit surprised by the revelation that blond is the fiancée of the Crown Prince.

He didn't know this at all.He didn't here any family names too and no nobility in the former imperial capital has ever bragged about their girl being the future empress.

And from what her brother spoke earlier, there is a high chance that she was forced into the marriage.

Then there might be something special about the girl and Sam is not stupid enough to think that it is because of her looks.

A crown prince giving a girl his fiancée status just for her looks, it is almost laughable. And from the mindset of the emperor, he wouldn't do something so silly without any benefits and he has to say that Felicia is ten times more beautiful than Natalie, but he is still unwilling to believe that she got all of this because of her looks.

He was quite curious, but it was only that much, not to the extent that he has to bid for her.

But he noticed someone else was interested and that is Watt.

Soon, bidding for the Princess is over with over twenty million. He would say that it is pretty cheap. After all, she is a princess.

Next up was Felicia and for her, the bidding was not as fierce. It only reached ten million and the highest bidder was also a special guest in the private room and obviously, Sam doesn't know who that person is.

But from the voice, he is pretty young.

”Fifteen million.” Watt raised his bid. Sam is still nonchalant, but Philip and Jack are surprised.

”Oh Watt, you want a slave now? Why are you bidding?” Philip asked casually. Watt didn't reply.

Sam looked at Felicia all the time, she is looking towards the backstage time to time and he noticed that her brother was the next person on the auction. She seemed to be completely unconcerned of who bid for her.

Her only concern seemed to be being separated from her brother. Sam gave an amused smile. He could understand this situation all too well.

Meanwhile, the bidding continued.

The person who bid for her earlier and Watt are having a bidding war and now the price is at twenty-five million.

”Twenty-Six million.” The other guy said and Sam was already getting tired of this.
