Chapter 727: Auction (2/2)

After that the biryani recipes are being auctioned one after another.

At first, the normal guests are all bidding for the recipe at the start until the nobility and the factions fought over it like rabid dogs, the auction is fiery than Sam thought.

Each recipe is going on for around ten million to twenty million spirit stones and Sam has to pay the tax of fifteen percent overall over them and the auction house will take a two percent charge due to the large amount.

Sam is sure that the target will be reached easily and he can make some pocket change that could compensate the travel charges to this realm.

The last piece for auction is actually the elven special and even before that Sam has already achieved the target for the tax amount. But if he stopped this last piece from the auction, he is sure that he wouldn't have a day of peace for the rest of his stay in this realm.

The last auction is extremely intense. The price is going up and up with time and there is no end.

Finally the people that are left are the two factions and they are going at each other's throats and the cost almost reached a hundred million at which they finally stopped.

Sam couldn't help but chuckle at their stupidity. But he knew what is happening. This is an election trick, they are more concerned about the power and elections than the money they are over spending.

The same thing happened back in the earth. Particularly a country like India. The candidates spend an ungodly amount of money just to please the populace.

Sam just took the money and left. He completely avoided having any conversation with the extremely enthusiastic merchants that wanted to talk to him.

He went to the administration office directly and paid the tax.

Raunak didn't even waste a single second and already started making his application to the superiors about his promotion.

From what he knew he would be promoted within a week and he has pulled all the strings he can to finish the process as quickly as possible.

After dealing with the situation, he went back to do his research.

His friends are completely blinded about the future plans and they couldn't take it anymore. The trio went to confront Raunak about that so that they would get some context.

”Aren't you guys his friends? Why are you asking me?” Raunak asked in a confused and defensive tone.

He didn't want to make an enemy out of Sam, particularly after the oath and the way Sam made his promotion as fast as possible, he wouldn't want to lose such an important person who can make his dreams come true.

His mind is going out of control as he thought of many scenarios about the current situation and those thoughts included the three friends either being imposters or them being in cahoots with one of the factions.

But their explanation did alleviate some of his doubts.

”Don't think too much. We did something stupid and he is being petty. He is not talking to us.”

”Why don't you apologize to him?”

”The thing we did is too stupid to even get a chance to apologize.”

Raunak looked at them suspiciously and said.

”I am about to get the promotion and I would be going to the capital city of this planet, he said that he would follow me and then start a new business there so that he can help me achieve the next target.”

”What kind of business is he opening?”

”I don't know.”

”How long does it take for the promotion to go through?”

”A week and at most ten days.”

”The elections would just be a week away from then, why are we leaving this early before the elections?” Philip thought out loud.

”You can go ask him.” Raunak has become extremely defensive by this point.
