Chapter 67: Embarrassing Situation (2/2)

”What do you mean?” Elora asked.

”He thought that he was smart and tried to con other people before this. However, he forgot that today's audience wasn't just ordinary people. Therefore when he coaxed other people in previous bids. The VIPs became vigilant. He could blame only himself for being stupid.” Kadyn couldn't help but find the situation a little funny. How could an old and cunning man like him, make such a blunder. It seems being extra cunning is also not good.

Old Li appeared gloomy after being embarrassed by others, time and again. He thought that he could gain a huge fortune by conning these people. But today's situation was completely different from his expectations. He didn't know how to proceed. He cleared his throat and said. ”Let's leave the matter of her being a royal aside. Let me tell you that she can forge an intermediate grade artefact already.”

”Sigh, I can't take it anymore.” Artisan Ironclad said. ”Don't you feel any embarrassment, old man? Do you think forging an intermediate grade elementary artefact is something great? Just start the stupid bidding, even I'm starting to feel sorry for you.”

The audience burst into a peal of laughter. Old Li looked gloomy and his expression was dark. He clenched his teeth in fury and said. ”Now we'll start the bidding. The starting price is hundred thousand dollars.”

People gasped when they heard the price. Hundred thousand? Isn't that too much for a girl?

”Old man, you really have a big appetite.” Ironclad mocked.

However, Old Li ignored his remark this time; he knew that he would only embarrass himself by arguing with that brute.

”One hundred and ten thousand.” Someone from room number three—who was silent all this time—spoke.

”Haha, so it is Patriarch Irabel.” Barret Duncan laughed and said. ”I'm also a little interested in that girl. Though she might not know the secrets of dwarven tribe's forging. She would definitely become a Rank 1 artisan after some nurturing. It seems my branch is lacking an artisan of that rank. One hundred fifty thousand.” He knew what the Patriarch of Irable House was thinking, so he didn't mind speaking out loud.

After a small silence, someone from room number five-spoke with a hoarse voice. ”One hundred eighty thousand.”

Khrom who was sitting beside Kadyn heard the voice and his body trembled and his eyes turned red as the murderous look emerged on his face. Kadyn happened to see the change on his face and became bewildered.
