Chapter 207: 207: Bidding War for the Jewel of Life

"Hmm…" Ramiel was examining a set of daggers in the shape of a serpent.

To check its authenticity, he poured his soul energy into it and is also taking the help of his Arcana spirit.

It took half a minute for this Vice President of WAMO to analyze it and tell the results to everyone. "They were indeed made of the bones of a dragon that has pure bloodline. Seeing how these are rank-9, our organization would be willing to buy them for 300 million credits each. So, you can trade them for 600 million in total."

"Only 600 million?" Hazel Corporation's representative frowned as he listened to the evaluation of the weapons that he was willing to trade along with a billion credits. "But, we bought them for 1.1 billion."

He didn't expect that his total bidding is even lower than the starting bid. So, he didn't accept it.

In response, Ramiel just shrugged his shoulders as he returned them to the exalt realm expert, "Then, I guess you made a huge loss."

Looking at others, Ramiel further stated that the end price of any Auction often varies, depending on bidders and their motives. So, they shouldn't expect him to evaluate them at the same price as the ones that sold those items to the bidders.

"Damn, I will kill that guy," Hayward spoke to himself with a darkened face as he took the daggers. Taking his seat, he said, "Okay, I accept."

"5 Billion Credits and Serpent dual daggers," Ramiel announced it, glancing at others. "Anyone else?"

As this Vice President of WAMO himself is a popular host for World Auctions held by World Auction House every decade and was a pro in appraising the mystical items, the majority of the guests accepted his judgment.

Of course, there are a few who had distrust with WAMO too. They believed Ramiel might be taking advantage of the situation to snatch their precious items at a low price.

After all, everyone assumed that they will just bid with the digital currency. In such a case, they only have to pay first and later, think of how to deal with the bank later.

With many of these esteemed individuals possessing an unlimited limit credit card, no one hesitated to increase the bid, thereby engaged in fierce competition. 

However, who could have expected Ramiel to suddenly change the terms once the bidding crossed 5 Billion credits.

The ongoing auction was paused and Ramiel informed that everyone must offer a treasure in addition to 5 billion credits. The item will be later auctioned in the World Auction on the last day of the current millennium.

Back to the present, almost three-fourths of the bidders are out of the race due to their treasures being outbid by the larger organizations.

Despite that, there was huge pressure on these bidders because they didn't bring their best treasures with them.

How could they?

No one expected such an item will be auctioned and that too, at this kind of place...

Meanwhile, Gedalya of the War God Temple was laughing inside as he silently observed the auction. "They don't know that all of their efforts to acquire the Jewel will go to waste once I reveal my treasure."

Because everyone is busy concentrating on the item, no one realized that this old man never bid once from the beginning despite claiming that he attended the feast specifically for the Jewel.

The auction is intense as the time passed with everyone revealing a treasure one after the other. 

Almost all the champions and their respective instructors were left in shock upon watching the intense battle between the guests. A couple of Legendary Experts even resorted to threats using the name of their organizations while bidding but no one is backing down.

If it were only treasures, people would have backed down very quickly as no one was prepared enough but Ramiel allowed precious metals and minerals like gold, adamantine, Mithril, diamond, rubies, etc…

Not only had he allowed them but he also permitted the winner, a whole week to arrange the necessary things and exchange the item at the Headquarters at any time before the limit.

Of course, it goes without saying that they are gonna make an official contract on it regarding terms and conditions when each side didn't hold the end of their deal.

Because of this, people started to gamble on it and raised the bidding like crazy. Everyone thought they can just buy the deposits of gold within the week. In their eyes, it is the same as allowing the currency even after the 5 billion credits limit.

Meanwhile, Azzy was a little bit disappointed upon finding how insignificant his adamantine gloves are when compared to the Jewel.

He knew that comparing both of them is like comparing a pond and an ocean but still when compared to the usage, in Azzy's view, his gloves are more useful. When he has the power of time, why would he worry about healing?

30 minutes passed, the current highest bidding value was nearing 10 billion credits, and only four players left in this war.

First is the representative of a food giant, Hazel Corp.

Second is Helix, the young master of Stoneroses, a service company with over 3000 Arcana Masters as employees, spread through more than 500 branches all over the world. His family also owns a couple of high-quality gold mines. So, one can say, he's freaking rich.

The third is the Fire Temple's Elder. He has several treasures in his storage card.

The fourth and final bidder is surprisingly the Principal of Aclein Academy, Barton Everglade. Even his wife couldn't understand how Barton could even acquire so many treasures. "Did he perhaps sell the academy for Eternal Institutions in return for those Rank-9 items?" Sahara couldn't help but suspect it.

But when she thought it once again, she felt absurd and threw the thought away. "Nah, the school value couldn't possibly be in hundreds of millions of Krocs. Then, perhaps, all of those treasures belong to them?" 

The others felt that this Jewel's worth is not that much when considering the risks the holder must take.

Each of them was adding one treasure on top of the other in completion, pushing the current bid value to 10 Billion credits.

Barton finally let out a sigh and announced that he was dropping out. At the same time, he took out a message card, sending it to someone.

Sahara, King Brian, and Aegis were observing him from when the bidding value crossed 5 Billion and he started taking out Rank-9 treasures one by one.

And now when they spotted him taking out the message card, the three of them confirmed their suspicions that Barton is indeed bidding in someone's stead. But who can it be?

Neither Aegis nor King Brian had an idea about it. So, they could only link it to Ramiel himself who came to the rescue and even risked the enmity with Church by killing a Cardinal when the latter refused to surrender.

However, once Barton dropped from this fierce bidding war, they no longer paid attention to him and focused on others who are still in the race.
