Chapter 590 Congratulations! You are rich!
"With the same enthusiasm, let the bidding of the offensive Super Realmbreaker Fire Elemental spell, Caladius Brachium, begin!"
After she made the announcement, the crowd was silent, which made her frown before she realized she hadn't announced the base price and minimum bid increase.
But by the time she realized this, the guests in the private cabins had started bidding.
"100,000 Mid Grade Mana stones!"
"150,000!"
"200,000!"
…
"500,000!"
A short while later, the price had reached half a million mid grade mana stones and showed no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
Seeing this, Oliver frowned and made his bid.
"4,000 High Grade Mana stones!"
After his voice rang out, the auction house went silent, and many guests who were participating in the bidding war cursed.
"It's this fucker again! Does he really want to snatch both spells? How gutsy!"
"Go, find out who he is!"
"If I can't buy them, I'll snatch them from him."
…
Rael frowned. He knew buying the spell was going to be very difficult if this person is really serious about buying it too. However, he couldn't give up without trying, so he made his bid.
"1,000,000 Mid Grade Mana stones!"
As he waited, hoping this person would back off or at least hesitate, Oliver's indifferent voice sounded.
"5,000!"
"Fuck!" Rael couldn't help but curse. Just when he wanted to try his luck one more time because he hadn't hit his limit yet, someone else increased the bid.
"1.5 Million!" It was Crown Prince Eric. Just like young master Dalton, he could also tell the chances of him buying the spell weren't too great, but he, too, had to try his luck. When Rael heard this bid, he let out a helpless sigh. The Dalton family had only given him 1.5 Million mid grade mana stones. Therefore, he could no longer participate and gave up.
The Crown Prince Eric and others waited for the 'Big Shot' to raise his bid, but even after half a minute had passed, he didn't make another bid.
'Has he given up?' Eric's eyes flashed, and he started feeling excited. If this person gave up, he was sure no one else would be able to beat him to buy the Caladius Brachium. After all, he had a budget of 2 million Mid Grade mana stones, which only a few powers in the capital could raise on such a short notice. Moreover, given the current situation, they would most likely not spend them even on a Super Realmbreaker Spell.
One after another second passed, but Oliver didn't make another bid. Eric, however, didn't dare to relax. Soon, almost a minute had passed, but Oliver still didn't make another bid. He wanted to, but he only had 5,000 high grade mana stones. He could use his reserve of mid grade ones, but he knew that would be useless, so he decisively gave up.
Seeing no one increased the bid, the auctioneer started the countdown. But until the end, no one made another bid, causing her to sigh in disappointment. She then finished the countdown and Prince Eric won the Caladius Brachium.
…
Inside his private cabin, Claire was leaning against the wall. One of her legs was on Max's shoulder as he made piston movement, causing her to moan and gasp. The auction had lasted for less than an hour, and in that hour, he had made her climax over a dozen times, while he climaxed four times. Thanks to that, he had mostly regained control of his lust. Still, he wanted to do it for a while more. That was why, when the auction ended, he couldn't help but feel disappointed.
Claire, however, could help but sigh in relief. She was just too tired, and if not for him supporting her body with his mana, and the vitality pill he fed her, she wouldn't have lasted until now.
However, when he pulled out of her, she suddenly felt reluctant, and realized that after they left this private cabin, they would most likely not meet again, and she would not be able to feel the same pleasure he gave her in this last hour.
Although she knew their deal was only for this short while, she didn't want it to end, and when she noticed his reluctance, she gathered her courage and said in a low voice, "Um, sir~ If you want to… meet me again, you can come to my home."
"Mm?" Max was caught slightly off guard. Then, a playful smile appeared on his lips, and he slapped her bouncy ass, making it jiggle, "That's a tempting offer. But are you sure you want that?"
Unlike when he had sex with his women, he didn't hold back on her and completely unleashed his lust, and enjoyed himself to the fullest. That was why, the thought of making her his fuck buddy had crossed his mind, but he thought she endured his rough treatment only because of their deal, and wouldn't want him to continue treating her the same. That was why he dropped the idea. But now it seemed that wasn't the case. She… seemed to have enjoyed the rough treatment. Since that was the case, she was the perfect woman for him to vent his lust, just like Amara. The only problem was, he had to be responsible for her. If the demons hadn't invaded, he wouldn't have minded this, but now, even his survival was in question, so how could he make sure she stayed safe? n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Claire's cheeks blushed red, hearing his teasing tone, but she nodded, "Mm. I'm sure."
Max went silent for a while before saying, "Alright. Give me your address. I'll come over at night."
…
After leaving the private cabin, Max met with Miss Akilah in her office.
"Congratulations! You are rich now." Miss Akilah said with a laugh when she saw him, which surprised him a little. 'Maybe after seeing how much profit I brought the auction house, her mood has improved.' He thought. 'Maybe this is a chance…?' His eyes flashed but he discarded the thought, and smiled,
"Thank you, Miss Manager!" Miss Akilah shook her head, "There is no need to thank me. I did nothing but spread the news about the auction. It's the charm of your spell that made the auction successful. But honestly, I had never expected people to go crazy over them."
Max raised his brows, and then said, "I'm curious about something, Miss Manager."
Miss Akilah looked at him with a questioning gaze, so Max continued, "Since you realized how extraordinary my spells were, why didn't you try buying them off me? Why did you auction them off?"
Miss Akilah chuckled, "I'm a king mage, and have many king rank spells. So, I didn't need them."
"You could've given them to your Sterling Merchant Hall. I'm sure there are people in the hall who could use them." Max said.
Miss Akilah nodded, "You are right. I could do that, and the people in the Hall would've been thrilled. But I didn't do that because… no ordinary three or four-star mage could use them at five-star or king realm potential, even if they had the required higher realm elemental mana."
"What do you mean?" Max frowned.
Miss Akilah gave him a deep look before saying, "Because they are modified in such a way that only one person could use them at higher power, and if I'm not wrong, that person should be you."
Thump!
Max's heart throbbed violently, but he only showed a confused expression on his face, "I don't understand, what do you mean, Miss Manager?"
The corner of Akilah's lips curled up, and she gave him a 'I know, so don't bother acting' look. But when she saw Max was still acting confused, she snorted in displeasure.
She then changed the topic and asked, "As you know, one of your spells was sold for 4000 High Grade Mana stones. Since you are just a three-star mage, you wouldn't be able to use them. If you want, I can exchange them for mid grade mana stones at the rate of 1:200. What do you say?"
Max shook his head, "No thanks. I'll take the High Grade ones." If it was any other three or even four-star mage instead of him, he surely wouldn't be able to properly use the High Grade Mana stones, but he could, thanks to the cultivation technique he bought from the system.
"Are you sure?" Miss Akilah asked. "Yeah." Max nodded.
"Alright." Miss Akilah didn't try to convince him otherwise. Although as the manager of the auction house, she needed to think for its benefit, it didn't mean she would cheat or coerce the customers for it. Since he didn't want to exchange them, so be it.
She flicked a spatial ring towards him, which he caught.
"I've deducted the agreed upon 5%, and the rest are in there. You can count them."
Max stowed it away, and smiled, "There is no need. I believe in you."
Miss Akilah narrowed her eyes and gave him a deep look. Max felt awkward. Just when he was about to say something, he felt his communication crystal vibrate. "Excuse me for a moment, Miss Manager." He said and took out the communication crystal.
When he heard the message, his expression changed. Immediately, he stored the crystal away, and rushed out of the office, leaving a frowning Miss Akilah behind.
