Chapter 442 The Grand Auction (3)

Murmur!

The audience erupted in loud chatter and conversations. As the lights danced on the stage, the tenth item was rolled to the center stage.

The silver-haired man smiled and showed a scroll with yellowish paper, looking ancient, "This is an ancient scroll holding a secret fighting manual. It is from Moon Realm, making it quite valuable."

The audience gasped in shock, and many eye pairs were locked on that scroll.

"Let's begin!" After the silver-haired man's shout, the starting big was announced, "The starting bid is 100k!"

The audience turned silent. Many tried to determine the worth of that item. It was ancient, making its historical value rise, and its fighting manual, which were in high-demand weeks ago, but not so much anymore.

Then, there was the fact that it was from Moon Realm, a realm untouched by players. Except for Darth and Isaac, whose journey to that mystifying place was still secret.

In the audience, two bearded men with identical facial features glared at each other. The first one had a scar over his right eye and wore blue robes with fist patterns.

The second bearded man had a scar over his left eye and wore red robes with fist patterns.

They were surrounded by young men and women wearing identical robes. They were Guild Masters of two rival Guilds, named Red Fist and Blue Fist.

Their Guild members hatefully glared at their rivals, with fists clenched and eyes showing a fiery flame.

The Guild Master of Blue Fist, named BlueBoss, stood up and shouted, "150k!"

As the first bid was shouted, the audience turned silent.

The members of Blue Fist looked at their boss with awe and respect. They were glad to be part of a Guild with a rich Guild Master. It increases their own status by miles!

The Guild Master of Red Fist, named RedRoss, stood up and shouted, "200k!"

After his shout, imaginary lightning sparks were lit up between BlueBoss, and RedRoss.

"Hmph." BlueBoss flicked his sleeves and haughtily lifted his chin, "300k!"

"400k!" RedRoss immediately countered with a calm visage.

Several gasps echoed from the audience. To many, that amount was already way beyond their budget.

The bidding war continued until BlueBoss shouted a terrifying 1 million bid!

Both Guilds gasped.

RedRoss' lips trembled. But, when he felt the sharp gazes of his guild members, he couldn't stop and accept his loss!

"1.1 million!" A single shout silenced the whole audience.

"Oh." The silver-haired man smiled, 'We should invite more often rival Guilds.'

"Damn, this fucker…" BlueBoss bit his lips, and as his guild members' innocent gazes were locked on him, it felt like he was being cut by thousand blades. He knows they respect and worship him. Thus, he couldn't stop!

"1.2 million!"

"Fuck!" RedRoss wiped the blue blood that resulted from his accidental bite at his lip.

To the audience, this was already too much for a simple fighting manual. The most expensive fighting manual was nearly 300k, and it was only Rare-ranked!

1.2 million for fighting manual should be above Unique— Epic ranked!

But, the starting bid was only 100k, meaning that the chance of fighting manual being above Rare was very small.

RedRoss rapped his finger against the armrest and wondered whether he should bid more. However, if he didn't, he would lose respect and be humiliated by his hated rival.

Thus, he came to a conclusion to go all-out!

'I won't lose.' RedRoss stood up with his hand raised. His crisp voice reverberated throughout the hall, "1.3 million!"

BlueBoss' eyes shook, 'This maniac!'

The audience was growing crazy.

Luna was utterly shocked, "T-T-This… It's so expensive, and it's only the 10th item… is there really no chance?"

Isaac calmly leaned against the backrest, his eyelids slightly shut.

"I-Isaac." Luna touched his hand and bit her trembling lip, "It will be fine if we won't win it. I will still love you."

Isaac's eyebrow jumped. Then, his eyelids opened, and a calm pair of gray eyes gazed toward the center, "How much money do you have?"

"U-Uhmm…" Luna opened the interface and sighed heavily, "800k, and that was after I intentionally gathered for this auction, b-but, in the end, it was too difficult to reach one million."

"Alright, it's fine." Isaac crossed his legs with a grin pulling up the corner of his mouth, "Leave it to me. I have gathered some money."

[White Coins: 11,956,219]

With a calm smile, Isaac continued watching with hands folded.

…

"Argh, 2 million!" RedRoss' whole body shook as it took his entire willpower to utter that terrifying bid!

The audience was already numb to shock. They thought how ridiculous it was for someone to bet this much for a fighting manual!

BlueBoss' face was bright red, and he wanted to strangle RedRoss to death!

His guild members were already shuddering in their chairs. That much money was something none of them had ever seen.

RedRoss saw BlueBoss' hesitation. He smiled and felt like the victory was near, but it felt like a knife was cutting through his heart. He was bidding his whole wealth, and the item wasn't even nearly worth it!

Inside the VIP Suite.

"Why are they bidding so much?" Luna asked with wonder. She could tell that neither of them wanted to keep going, but they still did.

"Rival Guilds." Isaac wryly smiled and shook his head.

Then, at the center stage, the silver-haired man shouted, "Going once, going twice…"

The entire audience went silent and, with excitement, wondered whether it was over or not.

However, then BlueBoss stood up and shouted with bloodied teeth, "2.1 million!!!"

"Ptui!" RedRoss spat a mouthful of blood and simply plopped down on his chair. He was soon surrounded by his guild members, who were shocked to see him knocked out!

RedRoss' avatar turned into pixels, and he disappeared from the World of White. The anger-filled and never-wracking bidding war made him lose consciousness!

"Going once, going twice, sold!" The silver-haired man announced with a heartful smile.

"Yeeeeeeees!" BlueBoss screamed with happiness.

Then, Blue Fist's Vice Guild master, BlueNote, said with a tired face, "Guild Master, you spent all our funds. Now, we have to sell our guild building and kick out half of our members."
