Chapter 370 - The real auction begins (1/2)

The black VIP card had convinced Ray, and it seemed like his plan had worked. He followed the strange suited bald headed man back out of the auction house. Ray was then led to a separate room that was located on the same floor.

It seemed like they had done this type of thing before, as the room looked like it was prepared beforehand. As they entered the room, there were several yellow guarded knights inside as well as equipment on display.

The equipment was encased behind glass tubes. While in the centre the item would be shown. At first, it looked impressive and just from Bob's reaction he could tell they were meant to be impressive.

”This is the lost legendary fighting arts…. And this is the legendary Phoenix stone.” Bob continued to go up to each item and stare at them behind the glass like he was a kid in the candy shop.

But Ray knew straight away something was up.

”They're fake.” Said Ray. Such legendary and expensive items wouldn't be left in a space just outside the auction house. And although there seemed to be a lot of guards inside the room, there wasn't enough for this type of thing. Even the captain that had been seen earlier who was the strongest Ray had seen wasn't in the room.

But the biggest giveaway from Ray was their aura. When using his dragon eyes skill, such powerful weapons would usually have an aura with them, but these didn't.

”Oh, looks like someone has a keen eye. Perhaps you aren't a silverfish after all.” the bald man said.

”Silver fish?” Ray replied.

The man then sat down in a seat just in front of a table, while pointing towards another for both Bob and Ray to sit down in as well.

”A silver fish is someone who we refer to as someone who is a type of imposter. They come to the auction house and pretend to have all this wealth bidding for the items, in the end, they fail to pay and the item goes to the second highest bidder.

”You see the problem is sometimes people hire silver fish. If someone bidded 4 silver, then the next person five then suddenly the silverfish bidded 1 gold coin what do you think would happen? The other two bidders would drop out immediately never planning to go that high. Now here's the problem, when we find out the silver fish is a fake and we give the item to the second highest bidder we lose out on money. If the two were to continue bidding without the silverfish then maybe they would have gone up to 8 silvers or so.

”This is a tactic that has been used by a few in the past, so I hope you are not a silver fish.”

Ray then held out his palm in front revealing there was nothing inside. He then turned it upside down and activated his endless void skill. He did it in a way that the others were unable to see the endless void open up.

Suddenly, gold coins started to drop from the palm of his hand one by one, they continued to pile up until around 50 or so golden coins were out on the table. Which easily covered for his purchases inside the auction house so far.

Seeing this amount of money fall from Ray's hands like a magic trick both Bob and the bald man were in shock.

'If he had this much money, then why didn't he just barbie the guard at the town before?” Bob thought.
