Weapon seller in the world of magic

Chapter 503  The Grand Auction (part-12)

Five minutes of silence later;

"Time's up. 600 million once, twice, sold."

"Congratulations, Mr. Yu Tiajin on winning the item no. 4, Battle Robot-VIII."

VIP BOX NO.19;

"Yes, I probably paid all the inheritance in my name but it was worth it," mumbled the 17-year-old, "According to the rules, I only need to pay 20% amount to keep it reserved for me. I can just sell everything and get the remaining amount. 30 days is enough for such a thing anyway. With that said, let's end my participation here…"

VIP BOX No. 8;

"Yes… it is 600 million. It was sold higher than our expectations, Markie," Song Yue hugged his arm tightly in happiness. It was as if she had forgotten about the intrusion of an immortal.

"Congratulations," Sylvandria wasn't a materialistic person. Hence, even such a huge amount didn't shake her heart, but at the very least, she was happy for her man.

"I knew it." Shen Ling clenched her fist, "My choice is correct." She thought in her head.

As for Mark, he was also celebrating like the rest for selling a product 60 times its creation price, but he kept his feelings in his heart and merely smiled. In the eyes of his fiancées, he was only a weapon seller who gets 10-20% commission, not the one who manufactured them. He shouldn't show too much happiness. Xin Rui, on the other hand, couldn't help but sigh in her heart for she knew what was about to come in a couple of hours and continued with her job.

"Now, onto the next item."

"Item no. 5: Shrouded Infiltrator attire, for couple."

"The item minimum price is 1,000,000 gold coins and the bid raise is 100,000"

"13 million once, twice, sold" "Congratulations, Mr. Qing Jie on winning item no. 5, Shrouded Infiltrator attire"

"49 million, once, twice, sold" "Congratulations Ms. Li Na on winning item no. 6, Sapphire Moonlight mirror"

"72 million, once, twice, sold" "Congratulations Ms. Li Na on winning item no. 7, Primordial Azure Phoenix Medallion"

"340 million, once, twice, sold" "Congratulations Mr. Rong Huang on winning item no. 8, Samsara Rebirth Lotus Seed"

"26 million, once, twice, sold" "Congratulations Ms. Li Na on winning item no. 9, Stormweaver's Thunderstruck Gauntlets"

"28 million, once, twice, sold" "Congratulations Ms. Li Na on winning item no. 6, Thousand Petal Blossom Palm"

"Now for the item no. 11. Behold the Seraph Dragon Bow. I have told you before but I will remind everyone once again. This is a Sky grade weapon. Even if you search the entire world, there will be less than twenty of such weapons."

Xin Rui tried to entice the wealthy bidders to spend even more, as she was hoping to see the bidding cross 200 million once again. But the reality often disappoints your expectations.

Half an hour later;

"130 million, once, twice, sold" "Congratulations Ms. Li Na on winning item no. 10, Seraph Dragon Bow"

There was a hint of disappointment in Xin Rui's voice but thinking that she already proved enough to sell items of combined worth nearly 1.5 billion gold coins already, she moved on to finish the auction by taking out the next item.

"Now for the final three. Behold the twelfth item of the segment, The Intelligence Augment Pill."

She raised her hand above her head to showcase the black-colored oval-shaped pill lying on her palm.

"This is the one of the final items?" The majority had the same thought.

Meanwhile, at the Imperial Dragon Palace;

"Not interested"

The acting emperor was seen sitting on his throne in shock as those two words echoed in his ears over and over.

"Why? Why? Why?" Tang Yifan was frustrated by the rejection from his ancestor, who refused to help him in taking down Mark and others even after he said that the latter killed one of the former Emperors.

The reason?

Well, it wasn't given by the founder of the Empire and just asked him to leave.

Tang Yifan wasn't the type to back down. He was one of those types who would become obsessed with achieving the goal at all costs, once decided on it. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Furthermore, after receiving the message from his brother about Mark's attendance at the Auction and his rejection of Rong Huang's invitation during the lunch break, Tang Yifan's determination to capture Mark has increased even more.

After much thinking, he pulled out the communication scroll from his right sleeve and lit it up before recording his voice message, "Supreme Commander Qiu, I need you to do a job for me. Assassinate the Imperial Sovereign's granddaughter and grandson-in-law and then relay their news of death to him. Make sure that Lu Zhen will take the blame. That will be enough to trigger his rage."

Putting away the scroll, Tang Yifan muttered under his breath with a cold gaze, "In case, his strength wasn't enough, I need to drag that ancestor of mine to the battle. So, Lu Zhen should be attacked in the middle of the city. Once there are heavy civilian losses, he will surely be forced to come and battle Lu Zhen's Supreme Beings. I don't want to do this but for the sake of the greater good, some sacrifices are necessary."

On a small, scorching planet in the plane of fire and ice, a mere 1400 km in radius, the intense heat was only surpassed by the density of natural energy, three thousand times that of other places. Amidst the fiery landscape, a man engaged in an extraordinary battle with a winged horse that breathed molten lava.

The rocky terrain echoed with the clash of elements—heat waves shimmering in the air as rivers of lava flowed, creating a hazardous backdrop. The man seemed less like a warrior and more like someone attempting to forge a connection with the untamed creature.

As he faced the Lava Pegasus, dozens of fiery threads of energy surged from his palms. Each thread danced in the air, forming a web of energy that sought to ensnare the creature. The battle unfolded like a dance of flames and shadows, the man's movements deliberate and fluid, trying to dominate the wild spirit of the Lava Pegasus.

The air crackled with the intensity of their encounter. The man, with arrogance etched across his face, gradually began to gain control over the fiery beast. The latter was seen struggling. "Now, easy there, Inferno Pegasus. Put your pride aside and be my partner. I'll help you avenge your clan."

*Neigh* Neigh* The threads of energy wrapped around the creature, as firm restraints, intending to show that there was no way for it to escape. The more it struggled, the more the threads of energy tightened over it.

The lava spewing from the Pegasus' wings gradually subsided, replaced with the sign of tiredness.

As the Lava Pegasus bowed its head to the man, the latter caressed its mane as he said, "Your name will be Pyro henceforth."

*neigh*

Riding on top of the Lava Pegasus, the man flew into the sky until he reached a portal with a man in black robes waiting for him.

"See, I told you, Yu Ra. I can tame this beast if I put my mind to it," bragged the man.

His subordinate responded to his comment with a different topic, "Your Highness received a summoning from the General. It seems our warrior who visited the mortal plane ended up dead."

"Dead?" the man furrowed his brows. "How?"

"Heavenly Thunder, but it was invoked by a mortal, who was now marked."
