Chapter 51 - 51 : Os Sweet Revenge 2 (1/2)

'.... Loli.. isn't that the Minor Healing Elixir I have in my freaking storage?'

....Y-Yes...

' %&$#?@! Why didn't you tell me from the very beginning?'

You didn't ask..

'*Sigh* Then why is the name different...Those in my storage are called Minor Healing Elixir while this one is Rebirth Elixir, despite them looking exactly the same...'

Each operating system personally chooses the name of the item, usually, they all use the same but there are some....exceptions..your previous system had a lot of abnormalities..

Arthur really wanted to roar right now, for more than a month, he has been searching for the goddam cure for the little girl but the ironic thing is that he had it with him, and not just one or two but thousands of them, however, how could he know it's the same, it was called 'MINOR' while there was the miraculous potion, one would obviously use the better one rather the bad right?

Arthur repressed anger and breathed some fresh air then talked to Loli yet again

'THEN DO YOUR JOB! Change the names back to their original if there are some others like this...why are you so useless'

All he got in response was a cold snort for the annoying system, he really preferred the last one even though it was malfunctioning.

After pondering for a moment, he felt relief and joy, since he already had the cure, then there is no need to buy the one on stage, he was really excited about this matter, just imagining little Saly regaining her eyesight and walking properly made him unconsciously smile under his metal mask.

Albeit his excitement, he didn't leave yet, there is still unfinished business here.

Just to be sure, Arthur checked the Minor Healing Elixir he had in his storage, and they were indeed exactly like the one on the stage, the most confusing thing is that he had Medium and Advanced Healing Elixirs, but he never used them, he only used the miraculous one, kind of dumb but he never bothered to test the others.

The healing Elixirs and Potions are a bit different, the latter's effect is instantaneous. The Elixir's effect is over time, it may take years just like it may take a few seconds, it's just not as instant as potions which is exactly why Arthur didn't pay the ones in his storage any heed, he deemed them useless compared to the Miraculous Healing Potions.

It seems even though the Loli system snorted and ignored Arthur, she still did her job and changed a lot of the names in his storage, but for some reason, she kept the names of the healing potions and Elixirs, maybe it was to annoy Arthur or some other odd reason? He was in no mood to argue with her so just ignored that and waited for the biding to begin.

Almost all present participants looked at the black Elixir with awe and greed, their eyes were burning from the desire to get it, for them, this could save a life or cure blindness, deafness and so on, so how could they not want it?

Bunnie smiled at the crowd, she obviously saw their dumbfounded state but stayed silent to let them observe the Elixir for a while then she softly spoke with her melodic voice

”Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the most precious item our auction will sell tonight, due to its rarity, the beginning price would be 5 Million gold coins”

It was a huge sum, even for those present, this price was really high, however, it was reasonable, the Elixir is known for its extraordinary healing so they kind of expected a price like this.

Just as the cute Bunnie finished speaking, half of the participants started raising their numbers and shouting prices, in mere seconds the price already escalated to 25 million gold coins.

Arthur silently observed without caring that much, first, he was going to compete, but it was needless right now, he was only gazing at Veronica who was sitting in front of him.

She surprisingly didn't raise her hand to bid, which confused him a little but he soon shrugged that off, her getting the Elixir or not wasn't of his concern, he was just a bit curious as to why she didn't bid.

The answer to his question soon came as many of the silent people who didn't bid at first started bidding when the price reached a whopping 80 million gold coins.

No matter how much someone's fortune is, not all of them can have this big amount of money, some were hoping the price wouldn't increase beyond their budget but it was hopeless.

All the big figures started bidding, which included Klaud and Veronica.

5 minutes after the bid began, there were only 4 people left still bidding, it was 2 masked people, Veronica and Klaud.

The price already reached 156 million gold coins but it started to increase little by little unlike previously.

The 2 masked people soon withdrew and the only ones left are that annoying woman and Klaud, Arthur was quite delighted to see the struggle between the two, if he was participating, he would have bid 200 million to just let them feel despair and give up, ohh he really wanted to see the look on their faces if that happened.

”Miss, give me some face please, I really need this Elixir.”

Klaud used the same trick again but he was sure it would not work, he already knew the identity of the woman as he had many spies inserted in several places, so how could he not know her? Albeit that, he still wanted to get the Elixir, his status was no lower than hers, so even if a fight broke out, he would not be losing.

It's true he's far weaker than her, but he had hidden powerful bodyguards outside just in case so he wasn't that afraid of her or anyone else.

Veronica just snorted and ignored the youth, she raised her number and said

”I bid 170 million gold coins.”

Unexpectedly, she raised the bid by a lot this time, contrary to earlier when she only added 1 million per bid, it was obvious she wanted to get her hands on the Elixir.

As for Klaud, he gritted his teeth and slowly raised his number while speaking in a somewhat angry tone

”I bid 180 million.”

”200 million”

Veronica didn't leave him the time to feel proud as she bid again increasing the price by a lot yet again.

Klaud's face was already red from anger, he amassed a lot of money to get this Elixir, he suffered internal injuries last year and some of them didn't heal because of a strange curse, only this Elixir can heal him so he wanted to get it no matter the cost.

He gave up on trying to save some money and bid all his money not caring about anything anymore.

”270 million gold coins!”

Veronica, who was ready to raise her number to bid, was stunned and sat there motionless for a couple of seconds before slowly putting her hand down, unfortunately for her, she didn't have that much money to bid more than him, she could only suppress her anger and gaze maliciously at the youth who was grinning back at her as if showing off his victory.

Bunnie was also a bit astonished by the price, but she soon came back to her senses and waited a bit more to see if there were anyone who would bid but there was none so she said

”270 million gold coins going once.... twice.... thrice, the item 'Rebirth Elixir' is sold to the Sir Klaud, congratulations!”

The youth nodded at the beautiful bunny girl then looked excitedly at the black Elixir, he couldn't hide his excitement as he grinned to himself and seemed lost in thought.

The Rebirth Elixir was the last item, so everybody depressingly got up from their seats and left the room after bidding farewell to some of their friends.

..

Arthur was only focused on Veronica's figure, she angrily left the room, one could see she was enraged and wasn't happy with the outcome.

She didn't think that this bastard Klaud would come and compete with her, if she knew that, she would've asked her grandfather for more money.

In fact, you can also bid treasures, but bidding money is better and more suitable, so it was very rare when someone bids a treasure or another item.

It's been5 minutes or so since Veronica left so Arthur decided it was time for him to leave as well, he left the room and exited the building, finding himself in the dark alley.

Even though she went ahead, with his speed, he can find her in a matter of seconds, furthermore, he already knew the route she took to come here.

With but a thought, he disappeared from the dark alley and teleported a few times until he found Veronica in a small alley.

She took off her mask and angrily stomped her feet, just like a little girl, however, it didn't seem cute, her face looked ugly as she showed her angry expressions.

Arthur smirked and thought that this small alley seemed like the right place.

With one final teleport, he appeared a couple of meters in front of the angry Veronica, who didn't notice his presence until a dozen seconds passed.

Although she was startled by his appearance, she didn't feel alert, moreover, she wanted to vent her anger on something and a target appeared, it was as if the heavens were blessing her after cursing her with some bad luck.

Arthur didn't take off his mask, so when Veronica saw him, she didn't recognize him, even when he spoke earlier, he already altered his voice a little, there was a lot of skills that allowed him to do so, it's too bad there are none that change appearances, although he read about illusion magic which is good to trick people.

The atmosphere was awkward as neither talked, but that didn't last long as Arthur slowly took off his mask while coldly saying

”We meet at last...Veronica”

Veronica, who was just going to shout at Arthur then attack him on the pretext of a dumb excuse, was petrified as she heard the voice and saw two blood red eyes shining, the alley was dark with only some light, and that only made his eyes more terrifying.

She only knew two people with similar eyes, seeing the face of Arthur, her body shuddered, she stood there motionless as if still not believing what he saw seeing.

”Ha ha ha, What's up? Did the cat eat your tongue? You were talking just seconds ago....”

Arthur then slowly walked towards as his killing intent exploded, he was still evilly smirking at her.

”You don't even know how much for the day I meet you..or any other who betrayed me...”

Veronica who was silent finally opened her trembling mouth as her eyes were wide open staring at him in disbelief

”H-How...”

”Hm? How? You mean how am I alive? None of that matters right now, don't you think?”
