Emperor's Reckoning

The night was bustling with excitement, two moons were in full shape illuminating the city. Many young geniuses or young lords attended this auction, some of them concealed their identity while others just blatantly show their faces.

Lyon and company stood in front of the auction's entrance and quickly caught the attention of the surrounding.

"Eh, isn't that the masks I sold to those kids?" said one of the onlookers.

"Step aside, step aside, my young lord is coming through." said a skinny middle aged man, he seemed to be a lackey for the young man behind him.

The young man behind him was pretty good looking but skinny. He wore a dashing golden robe which envied by everyone.

"Ah that's young lord Lepe, from clan Fgur." said a young man.

"I heard he is coming for the rumored item." said another.

"Yeah if my father were rich, I would go after the item too." said another.

"Get out of my way!" said a brawny man with scars all over his arms. He was carrying a man sized mace on his back.

"Look out, its the mad man Hog." said one of the surrounding.

"I heard the scar on his arms was because of a green serpent beast." said a young woman.

"Yeah nobody would be mad enough to confront a beast that level alone." said another.

"And there are many hotshots already inside the auction room, Gareth of the Eagle sect, Riku of the Mist clan, and others." said an observant.

"Looks like there will be a fierce bid today, lets go in." said Lyon after he listened to everyone's open opinions.

"Ah, welcome esteem guests, we have prepared one of the best rooms for you." said the guest receiver before gesturing: "Please follow me."

----------------------

The auction room was a place like an opera. There were balconies for VIP guests and below it was the normal guests. People could not rent the room as simple as buying a ticket for a movie. They had to buy a cumulative items or had a membership or being invited by the manager to obtain one.

But, the room Lyon was about to enter was on another level. The manager apparently gave the best room with luxurious facilities inside. There were foods and beverages served by the waitress 24/7, indoor bathrooms, and the room could contain about ten people inside.

As Lyon and his companions making their way to the room, almost every other guests began speculating of who they were.

"Who are they?" said one of the guests.

"Maybe they are from somewhere with tremendous background." said a young man.

"They could be from the Nove sect, I heard they were coming this time, so it must be them!" said another guest.

Nove sect was one of the hegemon in the north region with hundreds of thousands of disciple under them.

There were three old men riding a horse rushing toward the auction.

*neigh

Upon closer look, they wore the same black robe. Apparently they were from the same sect.

"I'm sorry but we are not late are we?" said the one leading.

"No, the auction hasn't started yet." said another guest receiver.

"Thank you, we are from the Nove Sect."

"Ah, we have been expecting you, please follow me I will guide you to your room."

"Hey, if that's from the Nove sect then who are the five people from before." the guests entered into deep thought once again.

--------------------------

Thirty minutes later

"Good evening everyone, good news, today I will personally be the host." said Fergal with his green robe and opened arms.

"BOOO..."

"BOOOOO!" shouted Jugen.

"We want a sexy lady not you, BOOOO!". shouted Lyon

Karina hit their head until they were swollen red while the other guests had black lines on their head, including Fergal.

*ehem

"Alright we will begin the auction with the first item, 10 pieces of 'Restoration Pill" then Fergal took a breath to see everyone's reaction before continuing: "I believe all of you already know about the effect of this pill but let the old me tell you once again. This pill can greatly restore one's vitality to 70% from a near death situation, however this pill can't regrown any limbs that is already lost."

"This is just wasting time, everybody know about this pill, although its rare to come by, it's not really hard to seek either. Hahaha I wonder which idiot don't know about this." chuckled Jugen.

"Y-y-yeah right, haha ... hahahaha." laughed Lyon nervously.

Then Jugen squinted his eyes at Lyon.

"Ten thousand golds" said one of the guest.

"Fifteen." said another one.

"Twenty."

In the end the pills sold to one of the guest below for forty five thousand golds.

The rest of the items didn't manage to get into Lyon's interest, but he definitely gained knowledge about pills.

"The next item is the one you have been waiting for, the half-divine item." said Fergal as his assistant bring the item wrapped in cloth on top of the table. Looking at the wrapped cloth, the item was probably sphere shaped one.

"But there is something wrong about this rumor." as soon as Fergal said that, the people were gobsmacked but his next sentence made the VIPs stood on their feet with hunger expression. "The wrong thing is that, the item is at the LEAST half divine." Fergal emphasized 'least' as much as he could then he enjoyed their hunger expression.

"C'mon hurry uo tell-" before one of the VIPs finish his sentence.

"Fifteen ... Million." said Lyon casually bidding.

The crowd was stunned for a second.

"Ah what a brave hero indeed, the bidding has started, fifteen million going once." said Fergal seeing the opportunity.

"Sixteen!" said one of the VIPs.

"Eighteen million." said Lepe from the VIP.

"Nineteen .... Million." said Lyon once again.

"Twenty! " said the disciple from the Nove sect.

"HMPH! Twenty Two!" shouted Hog.

"Senior brother, if he raised it more than twenty five million, we can't bid a higher number." said one of the old man.

The leader of the trio nodded.

"Twenty five million! My Nove sect want this." said the leader of the old men.

Seeing the Nove sect dares to use it's name to threaten others Lyon raised his hand to call the waitress and instructed her something.

"Twenty five million going once...." said Fergal.

The trio old men had smiles all over their face.

*knock

*knock

*creak

"Excuse me gentlemen I received an order to give you this paper from the VIP over there." said the waitress before she excuse herself out of the room.

"Twenty five million going twice..." said Fergal.

Then the leader read the paper which made all three of them grimaced.

'Eat shit'

Just as they finished reading the two word.

"Thirty .... Million."
