133 Chapter 133: Body Refining White Flower 1 (2/2)
”Hm...” After hearing everything, Zachary was stuck in deep thought. After a while he spoke once more, ” By now, the other 9 must have already gotte news of what happened. I'm pretty sure that we would not be abke to get the herb anymore. So, send the third and seventh elder to represent the clan. Have them go there in just five minutes. That is all.”
”As you wish, milord.” The man turned into a shadow again and disappeared when Zachary ended his orders.
”Dylan Ford... what an interesting young man.” Zachary played with his wine before gulping it down.
...
Back at the Soaring Garden Auction...
”It seems like everyone is excited to start this auction! So without further ado, the auction for the Body Refining White Flower is now open at 120 spirit stones! Since the base price is already spirit stones, you only need to add one more spirit stone to add the price.” Dylan loudly announced.
When the price was revealed, a lot of hopefuls immediately felt depressed. Just the base price was already out of their reach. They were hoping it would be something lower but they all knew the market value of herbs so they were only deluding themselves with those fantasies.
As soon as the bidding started more than half of the participants were already excluded due to the ridiculous price but a lot of rich nobles still chose to try their luch and get the herb for themselves.
”I bid 120 spirit stones!!” In the third floor, A black skinned man who wore a dainty red robe and had a fist filled with jewelry that was at least 1 spirit stones each. He was holding two beautiful ladies with each hand
”I bid 121 spirit stones!” A brown haired lady at the 3rd floor who was wearing an Exquisite Tailor cocktail dress raised her panel. She had 4 big guards beside her who were at the Origin Foundation Realm!
”That flower is mine! 124spirit stones!” An old fat lord who wore expensive clothing, had three golden chains that were adorned with different gems around his neck and wore three pure crystal bracelets on both of his wrists.
”I said it's mine! 125!” The black skinned man bid once more.
”Dream on! 129 spirit stones!” The brown haired lady also called out.
”135 spirit stones!” The fat lord did not want to lose but also call out.
”138 spirit stones.” Another person who was wearing frugal clothes shouted.
The bidding continued without paise. Seeing this, Dylan calmly watcged in the sidelines waiting for the oace of the auction to slow down.
”141 spirit stones! This treasure is for my son!” The black skinned guy shouted once more!
”143 spirit stones! Heh, you think you are the only one with a son!” The fatty screamed!
”147 spirit stones!” Another female also decided to join the bid.
”155 spirit stones!! Hahaha, this treasure is mine!” The brown haired lady went all out and raised the bid!
”Shut up, you noisy fools! 200 spirit stones!”Stone Edge then decided to join the fray while reprimanding the three loud persons who were shouting loudly.
”I... we lost.” The three who was fighting earlier was ruthlessly removed in the competition because of the large raise that Saint Child bid.
”Oh, finally. Anyone up for a higher bid? 201 spirit stones? 205?” Dylan was probing the crowd before he continued, ” 200 going once!”
”The flower is his..” The three thought that the flower already had it's owner but they thought wrongly.
”225 spirit stones!” Daniela Hills also decided to join in seeing that Stone Edge Saint Child was the first person in the fourth floor to bid! ”The herb is mine Brock. Get lost!”
”Tch, I knew it would not be easy to take it for myself.” Stone Edge Saint Child, Brock looked coldly at Daniela. ”So you must also think the same thing, Daniela! 240 spirit stones!”
”Hmph, two hundred and fifty spirit stones!” Daniela articulated loudly.
”Che, two hundred and sixty five spirit stones!” Brock did not want to appear that he was losing so he went and bid immediately after Daniela finished.
”Tsk, two hundred and seventy five spirit stones!” Daniela strongly raised her panel to bid.
”300 spirit stones! This is not a pleace where people should be flirting with each other.” Isaac coldly uttered.
”Who do you think you are! Flirting with him? I would rather die! 325 spirit stones!” Daniela angrily screeched.
”Are you messing with me, Isaac?! I will crush you! I bid 350 spirit stones!” Brock's expression was twisted while saying those words.
”Pitiful bastard! 380 spirit stones!” Isaac did not back down and even increased the bid by 30!
”500.” A low voice compare to yelling that the other were doing, this was a soothing and warm voice. Even though it was said in a low volume, its ' impact was exceddinly high that it silenced the entire crowd.
The crowd searched for the origin of the voice. When they found it, they all looked dumbfounded because it came from a thirteen year old boy who was popularly known as the Child Genius of Alchemy, Asiel Gamott!
” This is an auction not a party. You should refrain from being too festive if you wish to return to your houses with face left.” Asiel slowly said those words but they all caused quick and hostile reactions from the other three.
Dylan who was just watching in the sidelines was only thinking and faintly smiled, ' Come on, fight some more. The more you fight, the angrier you get. The angrier you get, the more of a show-off you become. Finally, the more they show off, the more I earn.'
