Eternal Thief-Novel

500 Bidding Wars (2)

This young man was an heir of the branch clan of a Wild Demon King tribe and they naturally received a VVIP pass from the Life Demon Association.

He was here to participate in the demon gate trial and he had his clan's full support to bid for another he wanted in this auction as long as it can raise his chances of passing the trial.

This bloodline pill was quite alluring to him since it could help him strengthen his abilities, but seeing the four million bid, he was hesitating.

However, when he thought how this bid was from a VIP stand not from a VVIP Room, he felt his dignity has been challenged.

He gritted his teeth and rise the bid by ten thousand.

'Let's see if these lowly tribes still dare to bid against me,' He sneered in rage.

However, his eyes turned bloodshot when he saw the same person raise the bid to 4.5 million directly!

"Bastard! Who is it?!" He really wanted to storm toward the VIP stand, but he knew he can't cause trouble here or he'll be kicked out.

Lilly looked at the bid and couldn't but smile brightly as she spoke, "The guest in seat no.18-87,900 bid 4.5 million Qi stones!

"4.5 million going once…

"4.5 million going twice…

"Last chance, everyone?" She smiled charmingly, but this time no one raise the bid, "And 4.5 million going… thrice and sold! Congratulation to the guest on seat no.18-87,900 for winning this wonderful Bloodline Pill. On to next item." Lilly didn't dwell on the Bloodline pill and quickly reveal the next item.

Aliya, on the other hand, snort as she paid the attendant and received a golden receipt with the unique number of the item she won. She can claim that item as long as she showed this receipt.

'What a resentful woman.' Ace also smile wryly on the nineteenth level since he knew Aliya's seat number.

The third item was finally revealed at this moment. It was another pill, but this item was completely transparent like fine ice, and small light blue circles were around this pill.

Lilly introduced with a charming smile, "This is a perfect quality soul pill, the high-grade-2 Instant Soul Recovery Pill. As long as the soul isn't destroyed, this pill can make a vast difference between life and death.

"It can instantly recover 50% soul injury of the River Realm, 20% of the River Core Realm, and… 5% of Soul Realm!"

The entire arena stirred after hearing the Instant Soul Recovery Pill's introduction, especially those Demon Dukes in the Soul Realm. This pill had a great temptation for them, even with a 5% recovery.

Because everyone knows, the soul of a soul realm expert was very hard to heal if injured, and this pill can make a tremendous difference with just five percent.

A content glint flashed past Lilly's eyes as she spoke, "The starting bid for this perfect Instant Soul Recovery Pill is… 50,000 High-Grade-2 Qi Stones and each bid has to increase by 1,000. The bid is open!"

Another bidding war started and this time more VVIP rooms take part since many well-known demon dukes were in these rooms.

The VIP stands didn't even bid because they knew those in the VVIP rooms had far more wealth than them and they can't win this pill even if they wanted it.

Lilly spoke when the bid stopped, "The guest in room no.328 bid five million Qi stones!"

However, just as she was about to start the count, another bid from a VVIP room appeared.

Lilly exclaimed, "The guest in room no.542 just bid 10 million Q stones!"

Sitting in the VVIP room no.328 was none other than Thomas, his wife Milly, and his protector Maddux.

Thomas had a very gloomy face when he saw the bid increase by five million.

"Who is in that room?" He couldn't help but ask.

Maddux spoke with a stony expression…

Inside room, no.542,

Jaxx sat with a handsome young demon who had a resemblance to Thomas.

Jaxx couldn't help but sneered, "Brother Darren, you probably scared him away."

This Darren was none other than Thomas's second brother who arrange for Jaxx to assassinate Thomas in the blade province trials, but Thomas was too cunning and appeared here alive.

Now Darren was here to obstruct Thomas from acquiring anything which could raise his chance to pass the demon gate trial, and the instant soul recovery pill was just one of such items.

As for how they knew Thomas was the one who was in room no.328, it wasn't impossible to get the list of VVIP guests from the association if they paid enough and had the status of Demon King or their heirs.

Darren had a cold smile as he coolly stated, "That brother of mine is just too stubborn. I had already got rid of the others, but he just refused to go down peacefully. Let's see if he could get anything from this auction as long as I'm here."

A ruthless glint flashed past his eyes.

Inside another VVIP room.

Room no,10, this room was far more lavished than the others.

A wizened tan demon with an extraordinary demeanor and imposing aura was observing the auction, as his expression was impassive.

An old demon standing behind him respectfully said, "Your Majesty, it seemed the Second Prince will not give up after failing in the Blade Domain."

This wizened demon was none other than the Cheveyo Wild Demon King!

Cheveyo Demon King impassively stated, "If he can't even take care of this problem, then I'm afraid he's not worthy of my throne."

The demon standing behind the Cheveyo Demon King didn't speak, and ruefully sighed and watched as Lilly had already counted up to two.

But Thomas raised the bid to 10.1 Million before she could go to three.

He hated this brother of this since he tried to kill him, even targeting his beloved wife to get to him.

But Maddux knew how cruel Darren was and he could do anything to reach his goal, so he never left Milly's side. She was his precious granddaughter. How could he let anything happen to her?

Darren sneered coldly when he saw Thomas still didn't give up and raised the bid to fifteen million directly.

"Let him have it." Milly put her hand on Thomas's trembling hand at this moment.

Thomas quickly calmed his boiling rage and nodded.

He couldn't help but think of a certain someone with a complicated look in his eyes. 'I wonder what that guy was doing with all that wealth right now. If I knew he could rob even the treasure pagoda, I might really agree to follow him.'

He couldn't help but ruefully chuckled, which confused Milly and Maddux.

In the end, Darren successfully won the bid for the Instant Soul Recovery Pill.

After the first three items, the next items appeared to be rather ordinary and the bidding wars rage between the open stands for these treasures and seldom the VIP stands involved.

Where Ace was located, two demons successfully bid for two items, but they weren't from his row. So, he kept observing while standing like a statue.

There wasn't any item that could draw his attention.

Hours pass and finally,

Lilly looked at the dark sky and the brightly lit arena. She smiled and said, "This is the last item of the first day before we take two hours interval."

Suddenly an extremely ancient book appeared on the stage.

Even Ace's eyes flashed in astonishment when he saw the writing.

Lilly introduced, "As everyone can see, this book is quite old, and it's unearthed from a ruin in the ghost province. The writing in this book is extremely ancient and we don't have any records of this writing.

"But the seller told us he had got this book under an ancient destroyed shrine. Although we don't know its value, the words of this book are still preserved completely even after being buried for god knows how long. We can guarantee that this book is authentic with no forgery."

Lilly continued, "This book might have great research value. That's why the seller wanted to sell it for peak grade-2 Qi stones. The starting bid is 10,000 peak grade-2 Qi stones, with a minimum raise limit of 100 peak grade-2 stones. The bid is open!"

Everyone looked doubtful at the book since even the life demon association can't translate this book. What can they do about it?

Furthermore, this item was sold by someone else through this auction, and not just any item can be sold here. The reputation of the Life Demon Association was on the line.

Despite that, peak-grade-2 Qi stones were just too precious, and no one was willing to waste them on this unknown book with unknown contents.

It was an enormous gamble no one was willing to take.

Right at this moment, a bid appeared on the screen.

However, it wasn't a seat no, nor a room no, it was…

Lilly's eyes flashed in surprise as she announced, "The Auction Attendant No.19-213 just made the first bid of 10,500 Qi stones!"
