Misty World: Start with SSS skill-Chapter 108 The Auction (3)
Renxiao angrily shouted: "230 million. Amsox, you should remember that although my family has gone downhill in the last seven years, you shouldn't look down on us."
Amsox gestured slowly, he said: "240 million. Renxiao, I agree that you're a big family, but my family isn't small either. Your clan has existed long enough, and now it's time for your clan to cede the top spot to another clan."
Renxiao smiled but his face was extremely fierce, he said: "250 million. Amsox, even if I and my family are kicked out of the top position , your family will not be able to take that position. Do you know why? Because you're not worthy!"
The smile on Amsox's face turned to anger, then he shouted: "300 million. Renxiao, if you're capable enough, increase it to 1 billion, then I'll give up."
When everyone who was sitting around heard this they all took a cold breath.
Hikaru sat in the room and he was lost in thought, he noticed that everyone's expressions turned sour when they heard 1 billion soul points.
He then asked Rika secretly about this, to which she replied: [For Small Kingdoms, a billion soul points is equal to four years of their taxes.]
Hikaru was surprised when he heard this, he suddenly felt very extravagant because the number of soul points he had spent was huge, and it far exceeded a billion soul points.
Outside, Renxiao and Amsox continue to rally.
"260 million."
"270 million."
"280 million."
"290 million"
The entire auction house was silent and only Amsox and Renxiao kept increasing the price.
"Enough!" Everyone was startled when they heard this. Amsox and Renxiao also immediately fell silent because they both knew who had spoken.
That's right, it was Selvih who had spoken. She looked at them and said, "Instead of constantly raising the price, why don't we offer a one-time price?"
"It's very simple, each person will write the price they are willing to offer on a piece of paper, then give it to me. Whoever bids higher, will own the stone. Of course, no one will know the price the other person bid."
Everyone who heard this felt that the method Selvih had just given was the most reasonable. Either way, neither of them would know the amount the other person was offering, so each of them would bid as high as they can afford.
However, the one who benefited the most was still Selvih and that was because Amsox and Renxiao will try to outbid each other .
Renxiao and Amsox glanced at each other, then Renxiao said, "If the Queen says so, then I agree."
Amsox also nodded and said: "I also agree."
Then an employee approached Amsox and Renxiao, and gave each of them a small piece of paper.
While waiting, Duraxi asked Nasis: "Isn't there anyone in the auction room who wants to buy that stone?"
Nasis shook his head, he said: "The true value of that stone is at most 120 million soul points. Although it is a crystallization of the Fire Lotus, it is only a disposable item, and the effect is not worth the price."
Nasis glanced at the people around him, then continued in a low voice: "Besides, no one wants to get caught up in the war between those two clans."
Duraxi nodded in understanding, then he continued to wait silently for an opportunity, a smirk appearing on his face .
Nasis: "Yue!"
Guhi: "Yue!"
Himari: "Yue!"
Duraxi frowned and asked: "Do you have digestive problems? Do you need my help?"
Duraxi was a little angry, and he secretly scolded Nasis and Himari for being rude as they couldn't control their nausea in a crowded place like this.
Duraxi believed that Nasis and Himari were nauseous, but he couldn't understand why Guhi was nauseous too. He felt that the whole world was not normal, and that he was the only normal person .
Nasis shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Ah… Duraxi, in places like this I don't think you should laugh, because it can be easily misunderstood by others. We should be a little more serious."
Duraxi sneered, his voice full of contempt: "Huh! Do you think I would be afraid of the people sitting here? Even if it's Selvih I'm not afraid, the people here are just ants to me."
When Nasis heard this he was terrified. He just wanted Duraxi to stop smiling because his smile was so ugly that it made other people nauseous. But Nasis did not think that Duraxi would be so arrogant, and even boast that he was not afraid of selvih.
Nasis started to feel nervous that he was beside Duraxi. However, he didn't understand why the feeling that had just appeared disappeared immediately.
Himari could only sigh and shake her head. She did not know what to say. She reminded herself not to look at Duraxi anymore because if she saw that smile again, she would definitely throw up.
After Amsox and Renxiao finished writing, they gave the paper to the auctioneer, who then passed it on to Selvih.
Selvih looked at a piece of paper and said: "Renxiao offers 750 million Soul Points."
As Selvih's words ended, the crowd continued to gossip.
"Renxiao must want to risk his life."
"Yes, 750 million, this is all the assets he can maneuver."
"Probably ? of the entire estate. In order to save Renxyan, Renxiao seems to have sold his entire family."
"After all, Renxyan is an SSR mage, if Renxyan continues to live, his family will surely continue to grow for more than 200 years."
"Yes, 750 million soul points in exchange for 200 years of family prosperity. If it were me, I would make the same decision as Renxiao."
Selvih ignored the chatter, her gaze glanced around, then found Duraxi's position in the crowd. Selvih's gaze was like those of a venomous snake who was looking at its prey.
Duraxi felt that someone was looking at him and noticed that Selvih was looking at him, his eyes meeting hers.
Duraxi saw Selvih staring at him, and he thought that her angry and murderous eyes were full of interest.
Duraxi secretly rejoiced in his heart, he thought: 'Hahaha… see? This is the charm of the main character. Even if I sit in the middle of a crowd of ordinary people, my charm will still work. Well, even though you're not clean anymore, I can still accept you.'
Hikaru who was sitting inside the VIP room happened to see Selvih's murderous gaze, and he felt fear because currently her eyes were like those of a venomous snake who was looking at its prey.
Hikaru followed Selvih's gaze and saw Duraxi looking at Selvih. This bizarre situation made Hikaru confused. Anyone who saw Selvih's eyes now would want to avoid it, but Duraxi seemed to be trying to get Selvih to look at him more.
Perhaps Duraxi and Selvih had known each other before. Perhaps this was possible because Duraxi was Anno's fiancé, so it was normal for him and Selvih to know each other. 𝘧𝑟𝘦𝒆w𝚎𝙗nov𝘦𝗹.𝐜o𝓶
Or could it be that… Selvih had noticed Duraxi a long time ago?
Hikaru sighed, he felt that his future was bleak. However, Hikaru thought that he still had a chance to turn the game around, perhaps it was difficult but there was a chance.
At least, now that he had Anno, he didn't think Selvih would abandon her.
Selvih saw Duraxi arrogantly looking at her, and She frowned and averted her gaze.
Then she picked up the other piece of paper and looked at it and said, "Amsox bid... 1 billion Soul Points."
"What the hell?"
"A billion?"
"Damn it! What is Amsox doing? Is he selling his entire estate, and risking his life with Renxiao?"
"A billion soul points... that's roughly the equivalent of a mid-level Kingdom's tax for a year. That's terrible. Amsox risked his entire family fortune on Renxiao?"
"Terrible."
"Damn it! Damn it!"
Renxiao was smiling. He thought that he would be able to buy the stone, however, when he heard the number given by Amsox, the smile on his face froze.
He looked at Amsox in disbelief, fear evident his eyes. One billion soul points, even when Renxiao's family was flourishing, it was hard to get one billion soul points.
But when he saw Amsox offering 1 billion, Renxiao didn't believe it, he shouted: "No way, he can't have 1 billion soul points."
The people around them also nodded, finding it hard to believe. A billion soul points was a huge number, they felt that there was no way Amsox's family could have 1 billion soul points.
If Amsox sold the entire estate, he would probably have over 1 billion soulpoints, but no one would be stupid enough to sell their entire fortune to buy a crystallized flame.
Renxiao turned to Selvih and said, "Queen, I'm sure Amsox can't have a billion soul points. I demand an inspection of his property."
Selvih smiled and nodded. She said: "Amsox, what do you think about Renxiao's request?"
"Hahaha…" Amsox suddenly laughed, he said: "Okay, however, what if I can prove that I have 1 billion soul points? Renxiao has to pay for dishonoring me, I don't need much, 500 million soul points is enough."
Renxiao shouted angrily: "Amsox, don't be too harsh."
"How? Do you think I really have 1 billion soul points? Are you Afraid that you don't have enough money to compensate me?"
Amsox's provocative voice made Renxiao angrier . He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I accept. However, if you do not prove that you have 1 billion soul points, you must pay me 500 million soul points, and you must not fight me for the stone ."
"Hahaha. Okay, here's the Queen and all the witnesses." Amsox smiled and spoke confidently.
Seeing Amsox so confident, Renxiao was also a little scared. However, the arrow that was fired could not be retrieved, he could only pray that Amsox wouldn't be able to prove that he possessed 1 billion soul points.
Amsox glanced at Renxiao and smiled scornfully, he took out his ID card and handed it to the auctioneer. The employee took Amsox's ID card and went up to the stage and gave it to Selvih.
Selvih took the card in her hand, looked at it for a moment, then at Amsox, then at Renxiao.
Seeing that, Renxiao felt nervous as if there was a fire running inside.
He took a deep breath, and concentrated his mind on what Selvih was about to say.
Selvih raised her hand to the card, a magic circle appeared and surrounded it. After a while, the magic circle disappeared, Selvih said to everyone.
"The total number of soulpoints that Amsox owns is 1.3 billion."
