From MC's Perspective:
The Blue Stone Auction Room,
He said, "Ladies and gentlen, you must have already guessed it."
"Yes, it's a Grade 9 Magic Artifact. It's suitable for Sword-Type and Water Elental Wizards," he said in a calm tone.
The next second, on both sides of the auction stage, there was a big screen playing the live video of the auction.
Everyone could see the beautiful blue sword on the screen.
But his voice echoed throughout the place. From the lower seats to the private rooms, everyone could hear him clearly.
"The price of the Grade 9 Blue Magic Sword Artifact is 1 million top-grade mana stones," he added.
Gasp!
People exclaid once again. This ti it was because of the price. Usually, the mid-grade mana stones were the lowest bid.
This ti, the price was set for the top-grade mana stones.
Many of the interested people sitting in the lower seats could only sigh to themselves. They were hoping for the price to be in mid-grade mana stones.
It was affordable for them. But to their surprise, the Grade 9 Magic Artifact's price was set at 1 million top-grade mana stones.
"What happened to the Blue Stone Auction guys?"
"They're trying to rip us off."
"We could buy sothing similar at mid-grade mana stone prices."
"The Blue Stone guys are cheating us."
"If I had known, I wouldn't have co."
People in the lower seats started to discuss in low tones. But it's not that others couldn't hear them. Despite being blocked by the glass, people in the private rooms could hear them clearly.
Inside the private room, Jason Nicholson felt bad. He could have used this chance to convince Vincent Carey. But before that could happen, the people in the lower seats had started complaining.
There was live streaming of the auction playing on the big screen in the private room as well. Jason Nicholson saw that the Magic Level-9 Sword was another Magic Artifact.
If the newcor paid for it, he would suffer.
"Damn it," he uttered in a low voice.
Sitting beside him, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Jason's thoughts were written all over his face. As a Gravity Elental Wizard, why would he need a sword?
On top of that, he didn't have the money to bid on auction items.
Of course, he couldn't tell him. He continued to watch the auction with a smile on his face.
On the stage, presenter Carlson's expression darkened. But he had expected the reaction. It was sothing discussed during their eting.
They wanted to raise the level of the Blue Stone Auction House, so they couldn't allow mid-grade mana stones for bidding.
"Silence!" he uttered.
His voice fell like thunder in the ears of the complaining people. They were people without background. Carlson could teach them a lesson.
The next second, the place quieted down.
"The first auction item, the Grade-9 Magic Blue Sword, is priced at 1 million top-grade mana stones. Guests can start their bidding now," he said.
Hearing that, no one raised the bid. Everyone was quiet.
If the first auction item didn't sell, it would beco an embarrassnt for the Blue Stone Auction. The manager and the staff were nervously watching from behind the scenes.
They had made the decision after careful planning. They had bet their hopes on rich second-generation kids. They usually buy these items as luxurious goods, not to use them to fight against soone.
Just as the presenter was about to give up—
"1.1 million," a beautiful female voice sounded from one of the private rooms.
Hearing that, everyone was shocked. No one was expecting soone to bid using the top-grade stones.
But presenter Carlson's eyes lit up. The people behind the scenes showed a sense of relief. Soone was going to buy their item. Their plan was indeed successful.
Presenter Carlson quickly said, "The guest from the 2nd private room has made a bid for 1.1 million. Is there anyone who wants to raise the price?"
Hearing that, no one made a response. Carlson asked one more ti. Seeing that no one was willing to raise the price—
"1.1 million goes for the first ti!"
"1.1 million goes for the second ti!"
"1.1 million goes for the third ti."
"The auction item is sold to the guest in the 2nd private room," presenter Carlson said.
Gasp!
The audience gasped in surprise again. They thought soone was helping to save face for the Blue Stone Auction.
Otherwise, no one could buy a Magic Level-9 Artifact for 1.1 million top-grade stones.
A female staff mber ca on stage to collect the sold item. When she saw it was gone, presenter Carlson's expression changed. From here onwards, there would be important items.
"The next item is going to be a huge one. It's the skull of the Ancient Supre Wizard," he said with a smile.
Gasp!
"Ancient Physique Supre!"
The wizards in the lower seats exclaid again. In today's magic city, the Supre Wizards are not that superior. Wizards have attained two more magic levels above it.
But in ancient tis, the Supre level used to be the ceiling. People in ancient tis could reach the Supre Level without a proper education system; they can be called geniuses.
Those who have attained either have strong magic or smart brains. But in most cases, it was the first one. Even with its ancient skull, people won't hesitate to buy it for study.
Inside Jason's private room,
Jason Nicholson's eyes flickered. He thought there was sothing worth making Vincent Carey bid. He knew the importance of the Supre Skull. But he didn't need it.
If he could make Vincent Carey fall into a debt trap, then he could control him. More importantly, he doubted whether Vincent Carey could make use of it.
It would take years for Supre Wizards to learn sothing from the ancient bones of the Supre Wizards. So he thought Vincent Carey wouldn't be able to find anything.
Thinking about the plan, he smiled.
