Since the eldest prince had gone back in without making a bid, it was clear that he was giving up on this item.
The auctioneer was completely caught off guard by this and it took him a while before he was able to react.
But after he did, he started counting it down without any hesitation.
He rembered what he had heard earlier, so there was no need for him to doubt it. He was nothing more than a simple auctioneer, so he wouldn't involve himself in this matter.
In the eldest prince's VVIP room, the butler that ca with him just hesitantly stood there in the corner as if he was afraid of making a single sound.
He could sense the rage that was coming from the eldest prince, so he knew that he should stay out of the way to avoid attracting his wrath onto him.
But…the eldest prince had other plans.
With a cough, the butler ca forward and said, "Your highness, is there anything you need?"
The eldest prince didn't say a word as he just sat there staring down at the auctioneer.
Finally, he said in a deep voice, "Go and call our people. Make sure he disappears tonight."
The butler trembled when he heard this, but then he slowly said, "Your highness, is this really the best idea? You should have heard about what happened with Marquis Heiman…if you were to do anything now…"
The eldest prince slamd his fist down on the armrest of the chair before saying, "Don't you think that I know that?"
He narrowed his eyes and looked at the butler with a dangerous look before saying, "Since you've already passed down the ssage to those people, we'll take advantage of that. We'll watch from afar and only strike when the ti is right."
The butler slowly understood what the eldest prince was saying before bowing his head and saying, "Yes, your highness. I will make sure that everything is ready."
The eldest prince just waved his hand as if he was dismissing him.
The butler didn't dare delay the mont that he saw this wave of the hand.
He left with his head down, almost as if he was being spared.
After the butler left, the eldest prince turned to look in the direction of Zwein's VVIP room and muttered under his breath, "Do you really think that you would get away with making a fool of ? I'll dance on your grave."
…
After the eldest prince went back into his room, I couldn't help letting out a disappointed sigh.
I had been hoping that the eldest prince would keep the bid going, but it didn't seem like he was going to.
So I couldn't help feeling disappointed, but I didn't keep poking at him since I knew that there was nothing worse than a beast that was trapped in a corner.
When he is pushed too far, he might start biting like he really ans it.
So it was better not to push the eldest prince into a corner.
But at the very least, I had accomplished what I wanted to accomplish.
When he went back in, I could see the look that was on his face.
I knew what he was planning and that was just fine with since that was what I wanted in the first place.
I wanted the eldest prince to involve himself in this matter and try to kill .
Once that happened, he would be caught by the fourth prince and dealt with by him.
The eldest prince had already tried to kill once, so I wanted to use the fourth prince to take care of him. After all, I didn't believe that the eldest prince would let go that easily.
Since there was an opportunity now, I would be a fool not to take it.
As for whether the fourth prince would be strong enough to take down the eldest prince and the second prince at the sa ti, I had no doubts about that.
In the ga, the fourth prince had taken down all of the other princes at the sa ti.
I might be the only one in the world who knew just how deep the fourth prince's hands reached.
So I was the only one that could fear him properly.
He wouldn't be bothered by just the eldest and second prince.
Shaka had been silent the entire ti, but after seeing the eldest prince leave, he couldn't help asking, "Was that a smart move? Did you really have to provoke him like this? Won't he be a problem?"
I just shook my head and said, "You shouldn't underestimate the fourth prince. He won't have a problem taking care of both of them."
Shaka was very confused when he heard this and he raised a brow in doubt as he looked at , but I didn't say anything else in response.
I just waited to see the show that would co.
After the auctioneer finished the count, the item was sold and quickly brought to our room.
This ti, it was the manager of the auction hall that ca with several guards to bring the item to us.
When they ca in, the guards stayed outside as if they didn't need to guard the manager and the manager brought the sword in himself.
After coming in, he didn't even ask about the paynt as he presented the sword to and said, "Count Zwein, here is the item that you've bought."
As he said this, there was a reverent look on his face while he looked at .
I just gave a casual nod before taking the sword and saying, "Is there anything else I need to do?"
The manager quickly shook his head as he said, "No, no, everything has been handled for you."
He seed like he was about to say sothing else, but I said, "Alright, then I'll be leaving. Help call my carriage around."
The manager had a visible disappointed look when he heard this.
He clearly had wanted to invite to sothing else, but since I had said that I was leaving, he didn't dare go against .
So he just said, "Yes, we'll call your carriage right away."
