Chapter 68: Mayor Palius (2/2)

Silence.

Just when Old Li was about to announce the end of the auction, a lazy voice came from one of the corners of the hall. ”Four hundred fifty thousand.”

Gasp!

People turned to look at the bidder with stunned expressions on their faces. No one thought that he could bid such a high number. Furthermore, he dared to bid against Mayor Palius. Isn't he concerned that he would offend someone that he could not afford to offend? Some people thought. However those who knew about Kadyn became excited and started to whisper among themselves.

About fifteen-second later, a deep voice came from room number five. ”Do you even have that much money to pay, boy? This auction isn't a playground for someone like you who is green behind his ears.”

”Did I ask if you have enough money or not? So why are you poking your nose in my matter? Older people aren't necessarily wise and young people may not be ignorant. So I would suggest that you choose your words carefully.”

Wow!

Kadyn's reply left everyone stunned and gasps sounded all around. Then he turned his attention towards room number one and asked. ”What do you say, Association Leader Barret?”

Everyone opened their mouths wide, no one understood what was going on. Even those people who knew about Kadyn were confused. After all, some time ago, Kadyn and the Association Leader were trying to put each other down. So why would he involve Barret Duncan at this moment and ask his suggestion? Confusion was evident on their faces.

As the people eyed the room number one eager. The silence dawned over the hall. Everyone wanted to hear Barret's reply. Would he choose to side with the Mayor or this bold and haughty looking boy?

Finally, a sigh sounded and Barret spoke. ”It is indeed inappropriate to speak in such a manner, Mayor Palius. The younger generation surpasses the old. Didn't you heard this saying?” then he went on. ”You asked if he has money or not: don't worry, I'll pay it for him no matter how high bidding goes.”

Barret wasn't stupid, since Kadyn had involved him in his talk, it was clear to see what he wanted. Though Barret was a little disheartened, he still went with the flow. After all, he had signed a Spirit Contract with Kadyn. He was obliged to follow Kadyn's order.

The auction hall was completely silent at this moment, but then, cheers erupted throughout the hall. Everyone looked at Kadyn in a new light. This kid wasn't simple. Even Leader Barret supported him.

”If that is the case then I will withdraw from the bidding.” After a brief silence, Mayor Palius said. Indignation and irritation were clear to hear in his voice.

After all the price had already crossed his estimated limit. He won't benefit by increasing a bid any more. With that kind of money he could even invite any Rank 1 Artisan to make an Artifact for him. It wasn't worth bidding anymore.

Kadyn heard him and sneered. Not feeling happy, huh? However, he provoked the man no more. It is fine to attack a snake, but not to attack an injured snake. Now Kadyn had injured the snake, he needed to be cautious—or he would die without even realising.
