"Diane, did you see that? They raised the bid to 2 billion spiritual stones now! It won't work if we raise the price by a little. The others must know the value of this item too! But I know Severin is going to be the last one laughing!" Megan giggled.Meanwhile, Caroline was stunned. Normally, she would be in charge of controlling the flow of the auction and also lit up everyone's enthusiasm. Before she could do her job today, the bidders from VIP Room One and VIP Room Three had already started increasing the price to 2.5 billion spiritual stones."3 billion!" Stephanie yelled out while staring at Severin.Once again, the price shocked everyone."Oh, my god! 3 billion spiritual stones! This is crazy! Who is in VIP Room Three? I don't think I have ever seen them before.""Totally crazy. They didn't participate in any bidding before this and I thought they were only acting posh and wanted to show off their wealth. But I'm so wrong!"The crowd had gone crazy. They did not think they
After that, he called gently, "Four billion!"He estimated Stephanie was almost reaching her limit so he only increased two million from Stephanie's previous offering.At that moment, Stephanie's smile froze and her mouth was twitching."Four billion! Mister Severin just called four billion. Miss, are you planning to increase the bid?" Caroline shouted out excitedly.As of this moment, only two people were bidding against each other. Thus, she just asked Stephanie directly.Stephanie's face looked terrible because everyone was watching her and waiting for her to increase the bid, especially after what she said just now. Yet, the price had already reached her limit.With an embarrassing smile, she said, "You win. I didn't bring enough spiritual stones to continue. I can see how much you like this cauldron and you also mentioned that you are an alchemist so I'll just give up on it."The situation was too embarrassing for Stephanie to continue staying in the auction center. After f
Musa looked at his waist and smiled embarrassingly, "Hehe. Me too. Still, this is the first time to attempt something like this and I'm feeling guilty about it. I'm really scared we will accidentally get the sect involved."Stephanie thought about it and said nonchalantly, "Nonsense! We just need to be careful about letting him know who we are. If he found out, we just have to kill him and that's the end of the story.""Are you serious?" Musa smiled bitterly and thought it was a bad idea.The look on Stephanie's face showed that she was quite shocked by Musa's reaction. "Musa, you're not you. Isn't this what you have been teaching us? Didn't you tell us it's normal for people like us to have blood on our hands? Didn't you tell us to be cruel? Didn't you tell us those are essential for our survival and avoid being killed by the others?"Musa smiled bitterly. "That's necessary when we are in a secret realm. We shouldn't feel sorry for those monsters or people when we are on a treasur
As the auction ended, Severin stretched his back and went back into the room."Today is so awesome! We were the center of attention!" Megan giggled."I need to drink some before we go. After all those biddings, I'm so thirsty."Severin quickly poured himself a glass of red wine and drank it before leaving."We have obtained some fourth-grade spiritual herbs from this auction which is terrific! Do you think we can come here again when they have the next auction?" Sheila asked with a smile.Seveirn smiled bitterly and responded, "We have already wasted a lot of time coming here this time. I don't think we should come soon. If I really need those spiritual herbs, I can ask Beryl or the others to help me. They can come over to get the alchemical pills from me and help me to auction them. Once the auction is done, all they need to do is send me those spiritual stones. I don't need to come over myself."Diane laughed and said, "I think you're the only one who dared to ask Beryl and the
"This is it! He's staying there!" Stephanie smiled and exclaimed.Musa looked around and saw a hotel across from the street. "Let's go take a rest at the hotel first and have our dinner later. We shall make the move during midnight."Stephanie nodded. "I suggest we change our clothes and buy two masks to cover our faces. Then he won't know it's us."Musa nodded approvingly and left the villa."Mister Severin, when are you planning to go back? Our flight is tomorrow morning. Why don't we grab a few drinks tonight? We have no idea when will the next time we can meet." Zeke asked when he saw Severin return.Severin smiled and answered, "We just booked our flight ticket and we're flying off tomorrow afternoon."He thought for a while and said, "If we're drinking, why don't I get more people to join? I can ask my disciples, the Four Great War Gods to join too.""Hahah! Of course. I mean why not." Zeke laughed out loud.Not a lot of people knew that the Four Great War Gods were Sever
"Alright, everyone! Dinner is ready. We can start to eat now!" Zeke said to everyone.All of them went into the dining room and found themselves a place to sit to enjoy the dinner."Gosh. I never knew I could have the chance to drink and chat with the Four Great War Gods and the Province Governor. I feel like I'm dreaming! I probably have no regrets in my life now," Felicia shared her feelings after drinking a little."Missus Felicia, don't say that. It's destiny that brings us here together." Beryl smiled and continued, "We owe it to our master for teaching us so many, especially with our attainment. Without him, we won't be where we are today."At that time, Horace stood up and looked at Calum and Warren. "Come, we must raise our glass in a toast to our master!"The Four Great War Gods stood up and raised their glasses with much respect toward their master.However, Severin asked them to sit down. "Sit back down, you're making me very embarrassed. I can only help so much. You g
As it turned out, the one who yelled was Musa.Earlier today, Stephanie had participated in the auction so she did not dare to say anything because she was afraid Severin could recognize her voice.At that moment, Severin frowned and thought about it. Then he said, "I'll go too. If I guess it correctly, I don't think you guys are able to handle them."By then, Severin had guessed it was the two people who tried to outbid him this morning. They must have come with the intention to take the cauldron away from him by force. Both of them had high attainment and should be members of some hidden sect. Without a doubt, Beryl and the others would not be able to handle them."What? No way! How could that be? We're already level two warrior emperor!"Berly was shocked and wondered if she heard it wrongly."Master, are you saying it's not going to work even if all of us fight them together? Are you serious? Do you know that we are not afraid even if we have to fight the two commanders?" War
Even though Musa and Stephanie changed their clothes and had a mask covering their faces, it was still easy to tell they were an old man and a young woman. Besides, Severin could easily tell their attainment through Mind's Eye. That was what made him confirm those two people were Musa and Stephanie.Diane looked angry. "Miss, how shameless can you be? This is just outrageous. Just because you lost the bid this morning, do you think it was necessary to come here and take it from us?"Sheila continued, "Ain't that right? I can't believe you guys would do such a thing when you guys have such high attainment."Stephanie's mouth twitched violently. This was not part of her plan to have Severin guess their identities before she even got the chance to speak.On the other hand, Musa continued to act like they were not who Severin thought they were. "Miss, I have no idea what you two are talking about. It just happened we were passing by Oolong City this morning and overheard this man here
