Chapter 384 - Outbid the bidder (2/2)

If someone was foolish enough to put their own item up and then bid on it themselves, then why would they stop them. To the auction house, it was just free money.

Angered by this, the old man knew the auction house would do nothing and decided to raise the price once again.

”120..”

”1300 Gold coins.” Ray interrupted once again.

Steven, standing next to Ray, was starting to sweat heavily, wondering what he was trying to do. He knew Ray didn't have that kind of money. It was the reason why they needed to sell the carriage in the first place. If the old man were to back out, they would have no real funds to purchase Rachel.

Both the carriage and Rachel would then go to the second-highest bidder. There was a high chance his whole plan could be ruined.

Ray looked over to the man and gave a smile.

Of course, the taunt seemed to have worked, and the old man once again raised the price.

”1400 gold coins.” The old man now looked back at Ray and smiled back.

'Don't underestimate the wealth of the empire young man.' He thought.

However, Ray didn't look back at the old man, and when he expected him to interject at the last second, the auctioneer had banged his hammer down, selling the carriage for 1400 coins.

All Ray wanted to do was play with the old man a little. At first, he was going to allow the carriage to be sold as normal. But when he heard the old man state that he was from the empire. Ray decided that he wouldn't make it easy for them to get their hands on such a thing.

The auction continued as the next item was bought out, but now there was a bit of heat in the room, and more inside the Auction house was paying attention to the new guest.

Outside of the arena house, Jack continued to wait patiently with the kids. Each one of them wore their masks as disguises. The two teens were nervously pacing themselves backward and forwards, itching to do something. Jack didn't know what to say to them, he was never good at calming the situation, and honestly, he felt the same way.

He, too, wanted to act, mostly since he felt like the whole thing was his fault in the first place.

”I hope everything goes okay in there, Ray,” Jack said.

At that moment, there seemed to be cheers and voices heard from behind. When Jack turned to see what was going on, he could see two people walking towards the auction house. The people around bowed down as they walked past.

Seeing these two started to make Jack's blood boil even more.

”Father and Mother, why are you doing this?” he said.
