Chapter 201: Chapter 201 - The Auction Starts [ Part 6 ]
"SOLD! To Table 11 for 10 Billion Dollars."
The crowd was quiet as they saw the beloved dragon scroll fading away in front of their eyes but they didn't argue nor comment on the matter. They were even quieter than a whistle as an odd air seemed to permit through the air.
Even Carl the occasionally talkative one was quiet as he too sensed something but could not help but wonder about it.
He slowly moved towards Adam and asked in a quiet tone, "Hey, What was that about?"
Adam as nonchalant as he could be, took his glass of alcohol and said while spinning the drinks inside it, "That… was a power move."
"Really?"
"That guy in the second floor just showed the guy to not talk anymore."
"But the guy didn't talk at all. He was just bidding for the scroll like he always was." Carl asked as he still didn't understand.
"No, not that talk. He was bidding at wrong item against the wrong person?"
Carl still had a face that didn't understand what that had to with this situation.
Adam sighed as he looked at Carl with condescending eyes.
"Something tells me you were one of those guys who was a bullheaded person when they were young."
"So… what if I was? No, can you just explain this stuff to me in a normal sense."
"… Alright, In a NORMAL sense, A person can bid however they want but that is not the case over here."
"Why not?"
"Because no matter how much money and power a family has, they are still a small baby in front of the real players on this rigged game."
"And the great houses are the real players?"
"Look at that, I figured you weren't just all braw- Stick."
"Thanks, I sometimes know what to sa-" Carl was about to praise himself before he realized that he was just mocked right now.
"Hey! What do you mean by stick, hah? I am not stick?"
"So you want to be all brawns, then?" Adam asked as he took another sip of his drink.
"Yea- NO. I don't. That was not what I meant. What I was tryin-" Carl tried to say but was stuttering many times in this small exchange.
"You guys having a good talk."
A sound came from the small earplugs clearly. Both Adam and Carl identified it as Delmar's voice. The next moment a younger tone was heard this time that of their boss.
"As much as I would like to see you develop this camaraderie. We have work to do and you guys are trying to cause more problems that would bring unnecessary attention."
"I'm sorry, boss. I was just trying to get more information I could get before something happe-" Carl wanted to say more but was cut off by William.
"Alright, Just don't waste the time like that and look at your surroundings as I'm sure people are already paying more attention to you then before."
Carl and Adam took a small glance to their sides and as they did some heads were turned as what William said was true.
"Alight boss, I'll be more careful no-"
"Okay, Don't do anything stupid anymore and talk to us if find anything strange." William said and cut of the communication line before both of them could say another word.
"Okay, just like the boss said we should be more careful and focu- What are you doing?"
Carl asked as he saw Adam calling for the waiter again.
"What? I am trying to get more drinks for me."
"The boss just told us to focus on the mission to get you the sword and you're getting yourself drunk."
Adam drank a mouthful from the new glass of alcohol as he said, "What? I am not getting myself drunk, Just trying to dry my throat."
"Trying to dry your throat with more than 8 glasses of alcohol." Carl looked towards him with a cloudy gaze.
"Well the alcohol is quite better than what I have been drinking nowadays."
"Of Course, It will be better than street dirt, Its from a extinguished facility. The drink in your hand itself cost hundreds of dollars just for one glass."
Adam smirked and said, "Oh! Really you think you should be telling me that, Mr. Righteous who was flirting with a young girl and also was drinking more than 5 glasses of the same alcohol I am drinking."
Carl didn't know what to say so he just looked the other way while Adam smirked at the small victory and continued drinking the alcohol in his hand.
William from the hotel scene looked at it and could only shake his head with his hands covering his face while Delmar laughed sneakily at the comedy duo.
The bunny girls entered from the back door of the stage as they brought a new item that was again covered by a white veil. Nigel waited for the girls to come and announced the new item.
"The new Item that I will be showing to you now is a special specimen. This is one of the legendary black dic-"
Like that Nigel introduced the item which was then bided and sold for an astonishing number. Not only that but a lot more items were sold like that and some of the items were also bid by a great house member which was then sold to that person as no one was insane enough to want to anger a great house.
There were also some situations where more than one great house was bidding for the same item and its final outcome turned out to be quite… normal.
The one with the bigger check won. There were no cursing, no fighting and not even the famous technique of using ones aura to intimidate other and show them who the more superior among them was.
People were scared and some were also excited to see what the outcome may be but they were disappointed as no one from the great houses wanted to rumble in this auction house.
Even if they were the mighty Great Houses, They were still people who had to obey the rules and they definitely didn't want to break one from the famous Heaven Occupying Auction House that had a fame of beating anyone to a pummel if they were to break the rules of the house.
"Alright, the Fuckanator was sold for the price of 5.32 Billion Dollars to the gorgeous lady from table 20."
A lady from behind the front row with a massive figure and an overall 290 pound body weight gave a sharp smile as she looked at her new doll.
The bunny girls went inside as they brought a new item out. The item this time was a little different as it had longer size than the items before.
Nigel smiled as he looked at the veiled item behind him.
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, Finally the time has come." He said with a loud roar.
"The item that you have been waiting for. The item that most of you had to cross boarders to arrive here. The item which has been revered in the history as one of the best swords."
"It's The BROKEN HEAVEN"
