Chapter 532 - Payback (2/2)
”Hurry! We have 30 minutes!”
He clapped his hands, dimming the light of the hall as many hosts started to place their item for auction, making them nervous for their chances. Meanwhile, with most of his items gained in the last adventure already distributed amongst his girls and the remaining item too useful and precious to be auctioned, Nik had gotten the idea to create the items himself.
”Ooooh!” he shouted in surprise, ”They... all are Dark-Golden?!”
Nik gulped, instantly placing the items in the skill points section, making the beginning bid in hundreds, not aware of the conversion rate of the SO to skill points, Nik could only try his luck, or if his items went unauctioned, it would truly suck.
”But... I don't think anyone would let go of such a treasure... even I am still digesting what I learned from this stuff.”
Nik muttered, a hopeful expression touching his face.
”Hey! We should even auction the Blood Origin! The lesser one!” Pure spoke suddenly, making Nik shrug as he placed the blood origin of the Blood Imp into the Skill Points section. Who knows, someone might want to turn into one?
At this time, Nik recalled the tier-cap of the items and as expected, the white tiered bloodline origin returned back into Nik's inventory. 'I might have to throw it away... f.u.c.k it. Let's just keep it...' Nik shrugged.

”Alright...” Nik whispered. Hours had passed. To his unfortune, the Skill Points section turned out to be the last of the three parts. Even if the items placed in the remaining two sections turned out to be amazing, Nik figured that he had slightly overestimated the liquidity of the skill points based on the lower enthusiasm during the stats points and as Nik's expectations finally grew with the announcement of the beginning of the last part of the public auction that would present a total of thirty items, if someone even placed so many items in this section but considering the size of the crowd, it would be an insult to the creator of the auction if such an event occurred under the eyes of so many observers.
”First!” Bulkmungus sounded rather stunned. His expression showing it. Maybe, a performance stunt to pique the attention of the crowd but the moment Nik looked at the description of the item, he himself grew tongue-tied.
[Succubus Blood: Dark Purple
Use: A liter of succubus blood that acts as one of the most potent aphrodisiacs present in the multiverse.]
”T-the beginning bid is... 5000 Skill Points!” Bulkmungus whispered. Aside from the tinge of amus.e.m.e.nt and anger, he sounded rather awkward. Much to Nik's and the rank 6 host's surprise, a sweet and enchanting voice carried out the bid, ”5001 skill points!”
”Holy... shit...”
Nik finally realized the opportunity he could have obtained by remaining an infernal instead if breaking from the tree since the next item to be auctioned turned out to be—
[Temporal Fiend Blood: Dark Purple
Use: A small vial of Temporal Fiend's blood that acts as one of the most potent time-infused blood known for its versatility.]
With a tone sour enough to grate Nik's ears, Bulkmungus whispered, ”The opening bid is 6800 Skill Points!”
”Of course!” As the crowd grew silenced, a raging voice echoed, ”6801 skill points!”

”Ugh... how could have I been stupid to think that these two won't take the advantage?!” Nik whispered. His eyes already shining brightly while a bright grin formed on his face, ”I am no longer an incubus, not taking a sample of my previous bloodline was a blunder that could have made me a fortune... no matter,” not minding the opportunity loss, Nik also realized the desperation of the three ancestors. To stop their own bloodline escape from their clutches, they had to buy it at an overpriced rate. Not to mention the fact that the tactic only worked because Mirage and Khooni actually interjected in the bids that Ray and Brian took part in, making them eat loss at many points.
A just and vicious payback and the fact that amused Nik the most was that Brian had barely contributed a few drops of his blood and charged way higher than Ray, easily demonstrating his scheming prowess.
”Ahh!” Nik sighed, ”This is what happens when you give enough options in an auction...
Conspiracies everywhere... I am the only one who remains innocent.”
His words making the four spirits snort in unison for Nik wasn't simply trying to play in a public auction. He was aiming for the higher league.
And with him breaking things off with the paradise in the near future, he could potentially become a bright target.
