GDK 497: They Are Actually Looking For Me!
“How many gold coins?” While every person in the room gazed at Han Shuo in shock, Han Shuo turned his sight to the auctioneer and repeated his question.
The Shrine of Ice’s Ice Celestial and Snow Celestial were right outside the auction house while even more experts unceasingly converged towards the area, gradually surrounding the entire building. It appeared that they were planning to keep Han Shuo in the auction house forever.
“A… A hundred fifteen thousand gold coins!” Faced with Han Shuo who was displaying a most imposing demeanor, the auctioneer finally replied.
After nodding his head, Han Shuo took out three magic crystal cards from his space ring, each with a denomination of 50 thousand gold coins. Tossing them to the auctioneer, he said, “Here are 150 thousand gold coins. I’m taking it home!”
These magic crystal cards were the kind that did not require a password for transactions to proceed. As long as the benefactor had authorized it in advance, the beneficiary could take the magic crystal cards to any magic crystal trading company and instantly withdraw gold coins. Before leaving Brettel City, Han Shuo had Jack prepare these for him for his convenience. For races like the dwarfs, they did not have magic crystal installations for converting gold coins. If Han Shuo merely used his own crystal card, he wouldn’t be able to hand over a large quantity of gold coins to the dwarves. Using these magic crystal cards would obviously be much more convenient.
“But, but….” the auctioneer was clearly aware that the Braingorge Rakshas could fetch a higher price. Hence, after successfully catching the three magic crystal cards containing 150 thousand gold coins, he anxiously looked at Han Shuo and stuttered.
“It’s about time, isn’t it?” Han Shuo groaned before he shot a glance at Sophie far away in the hall, hinting her to leave as soon as possible as to avoid attracting trouble.
Han Shuo’s actions were simply robbing in the public. As a gifted sky rider who was rather reputable in Kasi Empire, although Sophie was rather delighted about how impolite Han Shuo was towards Braque, she dared not to say a thing to Han Shuo at this moment, especially when her father, sacred knight Sulo, was still present with Braque in his room.
“Father-in-law!” Suddenly, from a VIP room on the third floor, the nervous Braque called out to sacred knight Sulo after staring at Thuram who collapsed at his feet.
Sulo’s name was known to everyone in Kasi Empire. When Braque saw that Thuram was sent flying backward with one punch from Han Shuo, in an extremely frightened state of mind, he at last understood just how formidable this seemingly naive fatty was. Fortunately, Sulo was right beside him. Therefore, Braque remained rather calm even though Thuram was wounded. At this moment, he was looking at Sulo with anxious eyes, obviously hoping and pleading for Sulo to get involved.
In any case, Sulo was a sacred knight! In Braque’s mind, a sacred knight was the mightiest existence on the continent!
Sulo understood in his heart that Han Shuo and Sophie must have been well acquainted, and the two might even have had some friendly relations. However, with things coming to this, with Braque beseeching, Sulo seemingly had no other option. Therefore, with a grave expression, Sulo nodded his head at Braque’s earnest request.
“This mister over here, you have broken the established rules of the auction house. Please hand over the item, and participate in the regular manner!” standing by the window, Sulo said with a solemn face while looking at Han Shuo.
Inside the auction hall, those gentries who had been stunned by Han Shuo’s actions suddenly came to their senses. Some among them had previously met sacred knight Sulo. Now when sacred knight Sulo’s voice sounded, every single member of the audience became even more amazed and began making a racket in their discussions.
Had it been a large scale battle, those cowards would have immediately fled the battleground. However, as they observed that only Han Shuo and sacred knight Sulo were here, out of curiosity, they couldn’t help but stay to watch from the sidelines.
“Sir, what do you mean by this?” Zarya, the person-in-charge, lead a group of servers and appeared out of nowhere. Zarya had a rather unsightly look as he asked Han Shuo while repressing the rage in his heart.
Originally, Zarya still harbored regret towards Han Shuo. However, when he saw Han Shuo’s reckless and outrageous actions from backstage, he was furious. This auction sale in Kasi Empire, which was held every three years, had never before born witness to such an incident. No matter how much someone wanted an item, they would, at most, covertly set about obtaining it using their powers after the auction sale was over.
But as for Han Shuo’s actions of snatching the item in the auction hall right before the crowd, that had never ever happened before!
The situation was clear, Han Shuo had obtained the hostility of every person.
“My apologies. Actually, truth be told, I wished to participate and compete in accordance with the rules as well. However, due to some special circumstances, I really had no choice but to do this!” Han Shuo said as he shrugged at Zarya. Sensing that certain experts from the Shrine of Ice were approaching, Han Shuo yet again signaled Sophie with his eyes and intended to burst through a door and leave at once.
Swoosh!
