"One million!"
As the voice faded, the entire auction rose in a clamour.
"Is that person an idiot?"
"No matter how good a spatial ring is, it’s rely slightly bigger in size. Even if it’s a spirit-grade spatial ring, it isn’t worth the one million gold price. That person is absolutely a dumb idiot."
"Just one look and I can tell he’s a bumpkin that hasn’t seen the world before."
"He can’t be calling out for fun, right? A person like him can take out a million? I refuse to believe that."
The originally quiet auction house was now filled with the sounds of discussion.
They were either saying Maxwell was an idiot or that he was a bumpkin who could not produce the money.
The host was also shocked. He had just announced the starting bid, and soone imdiately gave a price. And the price happened to be the highest price the Great Alliance has ever received for a spatial ring. It directly went to one million! This...
He had the sa thoughts as the crowd.
He thought that Maxwell wouldn’t be able to produce such a large amount of money.
If he truly had money, then he wouldn’t be sitting so far away. Even the number on the sign he raised was in the 8000’s, which was how it was concluded this person had no identity or money whatsoever. The host smiled awkwardly and said, "Little brother, this is the Great Alliance auction house, so don’t try to cause any trouble. If you ss around again, our staff will kick you out of the auction venue."
As those words were being said...
Several burly-looking staff mbers glared at Maxwell.
Maxwell had a serious look and said, "I’m not joking, I’m offering one million. Could it be that I’m not allowed to offer such a price?"
He really needed a spatial ring.
He needed one desperately.
He suffered a huge loss due to not having a spatial ring. If he had one on him when he was in the gno territory, then he would still be a huge, wealthy tycoon right now. But... he didn’t have enough storage space, so he couldn’t fill his storage up with more beast cores.
Also...
There were many opportunities inside the national treasury. All those upgraded tals and spiritual herbs, but he didn’t have a spatial ring.
Therefore...
He was feeling resentful inside his heart. He had to win that spatial ring, even if he had to spend five million!
The crowd beca surprised at his response and started laughing.
The people around Maxwell started moving as far away as possible from him, afraid that they might catch his idiotic syndro.
Two staff mbers walked over and stood next to Maxwell. One of them then impolitely shouted, "If you continue causing trouble, I will directly kick you out right now!"
Maxwell coldly scoffed and said, "Is this how the Great Alliance auction house treats its custors? I have the money, and you won’t let buy things? You two can try touching and see how I’ll beat the shit out of you guys."
His anger was rising. It was difficult for Maxwell to see sothing he liked, yet he was being hindered because people looked down on him. What the hell was this when one couldn’t even buy sothing with money?
As long as the two staff mbers dare to touch him...
He will kill them imdiately!
The host was sowhat embarrassed because he didn’t know how to reply to Maxwell’s words.
At this ti...
One of the managers gave a signal to the host.
The host imdiately smiled and said, "Fine! One million going once, one million going twice... is there anyone else bidding higher?"
"One million going three tis!"
The host raised his wooden gavel and smacked it down, "Sold!"
"Congratulations to this brother for winning the first item; this ring is now yours." The host gave a professional smile and then loudly said, "Would this brother please co on stage to pass us the money? Thank you."
Generally speaking...
The trade would happen at the end of the auction.
They wouldn’t have the guests imdiately pay up front.
This action by the Great Alliance auction house sowhat annoyed Maxwell.
But he was the only one annoyed by this.
The crowd of guests knew this didn’t et the rules of engagent, but no one said a word. They all wanted to watch Maxwell make a fool of himself.
Maxwell then forced himself to have a carefree attitude. Paying now or paying later, it didn’t matter because one couldn’t escape paying. Moreover, he didn’t know too much about the rules of an auction house, so he imdiately went up. Behind him were the two staff mbers treating him with disdain.
They were following very closely.
They were afraid Maxwell would suddenly try to run away.
If that were to really happen, they would not hold back and give Maxwell a vicious beating.
What disappointed them was that Maxwell didn’t try to run away.
Maxwell went up on stage and suddenly said: "Oh crap, I don’t have that much gold currency..."
Once those words ca out...
The expression on the host’s face beca extrely ugly.
The crowd below started laughing their asses off.
"A complete dumbass!"
"Hahaha... this is a show the Great Alliance did to liven the atmosphere, right? It’s too funny!"
"They have my admiration!"
"..."
Endless ridiculing comnts were being made, and one could see veins popping out of the foreheads of those two burly staff mbers behind Maxwell. They stepped onto the stage with murderous gazes, ready to send a punch towards Maxwell.
Also at this ti...
Maxwell pulled out an attributed beast core and said, "I have this thing with . I saw the advertisent for your auction house, and it said this thing can be used as a currency here, too, right?"
The host suddenly made a "stop" signal with his hands towards the two burly guys. He took the beast core from Maxwell and suddenly smiled excitedly and said, "A wind-attribute beast core? It can! It can absolutely be used!"
"Are you sure it can be used?"
"Then this spatial ring belongs to now."
Maxwell took the spatial ring and turned around. His gaze stopped at the two won with heavy makeup. He continued staring at those two without moving away.
The first woman was getting angry as she sneered, "If you keep staring at this old lady, be careful that I might just scoop out your eyeballs."
The second woman viciously said: "What an idiotic retard. Wasting so much money on a spatial ring, you definitely have so sort of ntal illness. What are you looking at? If you keep looking, this Prin... this Miss will break your dog’s legs!"
Those two won were naturally Lilith and Arianna.
Maxwell was staring at them and trying to give them eye signals, but those two girls couldn’t recognise him.
Imdiately after...
Maxwell couldn’t keep standing there, so he could only shake his head with a bitter smile before getting off the stage.
As for the crowd and their expressions of being forced to eat their words, Maxwell didn’t bother with them. He only coldly smiled and used a voice that the ten thousand plus participants could hear: "A bunch of bumpkins..."
Everyone’s cheeks started burning like they had been viciously and loudly slapped. Over ten thousand people couldn’t make a sound in retort.
Painful.
Extrely irritating!
But for Maxwell, it was completely the opposite since he was feeling great!
Who told them to look down on people with their snobbish attitude?
The host was also sowhat embarrassed with an unpleasant expression. He then reminded himself: "Maintain your professionalism and never look down on anyone. Anyone here right now could be so wealthy tycoon, a super expert, or so kingdom’s Prince..."
After that brief storm...
The host quickly adjusted his ntality.
He cleared his voice and showed a professional smile. He then said, "Just then, the spatial ring was sold at a high price of one million. That honoured guest truly has an eye for great things. Now the next item up for bid will be four precious gems."
"Seven-star gems!"
"They ca from the mysterious Lunar Star Tribe, and the starting bid is one million..."
Maxwell hadn’t returned to his seat yet when excitent surged in his heart. He turned around and imdiately shouted: "I bid 10 million!"
Everyone beca instantly dumbstruck!
