Chapter 196: Chapter 196 - The Auction Starts [ Part 3 ]
"Hmm… Yes Table 69 for 56 Million Dollars, anyone else?"
Nigel spoke and his voice wasn't loud but it sounded like the voice itself travelled down to everybody's ears as they heard his voice clearly.
In answer to his question another person raised his hands as a table number was written on it. Nigel caught the attention of the number as he said in his ever so small voice.
"Table 37 for 57 Million Dollars."
"Table 68 for 58 Million Dollars."
Just like that the bid went along until it reached a high amount that nobody else wanted to buy it anymore or had just lost their interest in it.
"Table 27 for 91 Million Dollars, Are there anyone else?"
Carl raised his hands quickly as the words were told. He had been doing that all the time someone says their bid. If someone said a higher bid he would go higher and this went on and on until this words came.
"Ahh, as I thought the gentlemen in Table 69 bids again for 92 Million Dollars, Is there going to be anyone else or do I get this as that the gentlemen finally wins his doll?" Nigel said in a joking tone.
William or anyone else in his entourage didn't take that in mind as it was just harmless laughter so they also laughed a little to his words as other guests also laughed.
"Alright, then I am hearing no other bids so I shall start the countdown, my special guests. Remember, after the countdown ends it doesn't matter how much you bid, the auction for that item will be over and that my fellow people will not be negotiable."
"Okay then, Going once… Going Twice… Going Thrice."
Nigel looked at the crowd as he looked for anyone that wanted to bid anymore or not. As he looked at the crowd with a hawks gaze he didn't find anything that would signify someone wanting to buy it so as he counted to the final moments he banged his cane on the floor.
'BANG'
"Alright then this concludes the bid for the Bunny Striker is finished and this very rare item goes to the gentlemen's in table 69."
Nigel said as the bunny girls took the pink bunny and went backstage until a slight moment later they came from the opposite door with another veiled item in their beautiful hands.
"Now our next item is also some that is very rare and has not been seen by the likes of many for centuries.
Though this one has been found by a frontier group other than Gang Jack and unfortunately we can't thank them for this very fine piece of antique item as they are not with us anymore.
So before I show this rare item to you guys I would like a moments silence for the brave souls that had lost their lives trying to find this rare piece of history."
Saying those words Nigel closed his eyes and brought his cane to his chest as he started to chant a few words that seemed like he was praying to the gods.
Seeing his example everyone in the crowd quieted down as they also mourned very slightly for the frontier group and some like Nigel were also praying to their gods and some were even stranger as they started to cry at the thought of someone losing their lives for just a few pieces of paper.
Adam and Carl weren't among them but they still stayed quite as doing otherwise would get them on everyone's radar and not in a good way.
After a while as Nigel prayed and some joined him while some let their sorrow out by crying slowly, Nigel opened his eyes as he said in a somber tone, "Okay, Thank you everyone for joining me in praying to the gods for giving salvation to the souls of the frontier group."
Then after a moment of silence he showed his previous grin that seemed to shine lights out to crowd in front of him as he said in a joyous tone, "Now with that done, Let's turn that frown upside down now, shall we?"
"The next item that those brave people lost their lives to unravel was…"
Nigel said in a dramatic tone as the bunny girls behind him slowly bend down and jumped up as the cloth hiding the item flew away revealing the rare item.
The item this time was a scroll. It was a white scroll with some unique shallow hazy white patterns on it making the item look very good then it already looked.
"Now this looking at this item would puzzle some people and most would think that it is just some pretty looking scroll that young master's from back in the ancient item would write his debauchery stories."
Nigel's words brought with him another set of laughter that seemed to encompass any that listened to those words.
"But this scroll ladies and gentlemen is not normal by any means in contrary this scroll is much much more valuable than the items that were sold previously."
"This is a Dragon Arts Scroll."
Nigel's words seemed like something that was unbelievable to hear as everybody in the auction house could be seen gasping as they listed to those words and some even closed their gaping mouths with both their hands.
Carl and Adam were no exception either as they also were shocked at them, Carl much more than Adam who was slightly interested in it but not enough to generate overall attraction.
"And not only that Ladies and Gentlemen but this item which has been lost in annals of history is not only a rare one but a very rare one which is a skill scroll our appraisers has found to be in Level FOUR."
Like his words were utter from a forbidden book everybody on that hall erupted in chaos. There were words being spoken loudly like 'AAH' and 'OOH's but there were also some people that completely disregarded their candid and just straight out seemed to curse with words like 'What the F*ck' and 'My Lily Dic*'.
This time not even Carl and Adam were an exception as they also heard his words and like before Carl's actions were more bizarre than Adam's.
Carl hearing those words almost fell of his chair as he heard those words while Adam was shocked but he calmed down by draining both the glasses of high class alcohol.
Even Delmar was also shocked as he heard those words and exclaimed, "F*ck to think that they found something like that also."
William didn't understand what all the attention was about as he asked, "Delmar why are they and even you behaving like you found the pages of the holy book that had been lost in time?"
Delmar looked at William in shock as he said, "What! Boss! You don't know!"
William shook his head, "No"
"Alright, The thing that is so strange is that the Dragon Item as always had been an item that is very very valuable. Even though it is very hard to use it is still an item of great value that is the envy of everyone and more so if it is like a high level like the one they are showcasing now."
"Boss, why not buy that one it will be a great investment for you."
"Nah, I don't need to."
"I already have a lot of scrolls like that."
