221 Day Three (1/2)

Those on the first floor wanted in anxiousness. They had no hope of getting any of these items, so they wanted to just enjoy the show.

All of the nobles on the second floor looked up to the third floor. Hoping that they could somehow get one of the items that will be for sale, they knew it would be hard with so many royals present.

Everyone on the third floor looked at a single room. They all had an eery feeling that the rest of the auction would be determined by whether that man wanted something or not. And they all wanted to know what his budget was.

If they had any clue of the outrageous purchase Jack had made within the confines of his room, they would've given up on the auction.

Jack just watched as he normally did. He wasn't interested in the first batch of items, but the mystery items that each auction house had prepared. His hopes were to find mythic-tier and legend-tier items.

”First up, we'll sell a plethora of lv. 60 and lv. 65 items, both peak-tier and holy. After that, we'll get into the mystery items to finish the auction,” added the beautiful woman on stage. ”Now, here's the first item, a peak-tier lv. 60 bow! Who will make the first offer?”

Some nobles on the second floor made the first bid but were quickly passed by the people on the third floor.

”Jack, what are you getting today?” asked Keela.

Eliza chimed in as well, ”Yeah, what are you after now? Haven't you already gotten everything we need?”

”I'm not sure. I'm just waiting for the mystery items, to be honest. I don't care about any of these items,” answered Jack.

Argyle sighed, ”You really are hard to please, aren't you? Do you know how many people would shrivel up in anger if they heard what you just said?”

”Well, it's true. I've already traded away a peak-tier lv. 70 item, will they have anything worth that much?” replied Jack.

”I'm sure there will be such items. There aren't many of them, but the royal families typically own lv. 70 items that have been passed down for a long time. So, if they find something they really want, they might trade those away for something more suitable to them,” explained Argyle. ”Don't think that you won't have any competition when it comes to getting the best items today.”

”We'll see about that. I'd like some competition,” laughed Jack. ”By the way, how come you didn't know that cloak was a legend-tier before? Is there no way for you to measure an item's value?”

”Hmm… So that's why… I guess that makes things easier for me, I hope.”

”After this, can you help me categorize our special items in storage, Jack?” asked Argyle.

”Special items? But I've already combed through your storehouses and couldn't find any.”

”That's because the most special items are either on my person or with Baral at all times,” answered Argyle. ”If you could help us categorize the items, it would be a huge help.”

”... I don't know… Then I won't be able to get my stuff for cheap.”

Argyle laughed until he saw how serious Jack's face was. ”Seriously?!”

”Of course I'm serious. I may have a lot of money, but I don't have an infinite supply of high-level items. If I had to trade for fair value, then I'd have spent almost have of everything I own on the cloak alone,” stated Jack, startling Argyle and getting Eliza to giggle.

”Sorry, Father, but I'm with Jack on this one,” added Eliza. ”We'll need all the items we can get and that would definitely affect us down the line. Besides, Jack needs his wealth to revive the Leisure Guild.”

”Not you too, Eliza…” groaned Argyle.

Jack looked back to see Eliza smiling at him. He blushed slightly but he quickly looked away and paid attention to the auction, even though he wasn't too interested.

A few lv. 60 peak-tier items were sold quickly and a lv. 60 holy weapon was on display now.

All the royals bid like crazy to get their hands on it. They glanced at Jack's room, glad that he hadn't made a sound as of yet. It was their hope that he either ran out of money form his ridiculous spending and they could get the items they really came for.

The holy staff was exchanged for a lv. 70 high-tier item in the end, but none of the royals were upset. Up next were more of the items they wanted and most of the kings would personally be able to wield lv. 65 items.

Like before, Jack only watched but he didn't do anything.
