Chapter 578: Suddenly Went Back on Its Word, Catching the Auctioneer off Guard

“So many items!”

The auctioneer looked at the three long lists in his hands. There were more than 20 items recorded on each list. They were about half of the number of items on display.

This was the first time he had seen such a wealthy customer!

Vincent impatiently urged, “Why are you still stalling? I want these items to be delivered to me immediately. This is something your boss has personally ordered. Were you not aware?”

The auctioneer came back to his senses and quickly nodded, “I understand, I understand. I’ll send someone to deliver all the items!”

The auctioneer left the lounge in a hurry.

Vincent suddenly heard Justin’s voice, “Aren’t you just buying the soul patching fruit? Instead, you asked for so many items. Will it be troublesome?”

Vincent smiled slightly and said softly, “It is not difficult to just buy the soul patching fruit. However, don’t forget that this is the paradise of the wanderers. If I only buy one item, it will immediately attract the attention of those who have bad intentions. It may also reveal that I have an incomplete soul around me that urgently needs to be patched up at any time! Right now, my real plan hasn’t begun so I don’t want to reveal you as my trump card just yet!”

Hearing that, Justin was silent for a moment before he said, “I don’t think that is your only reason. You must have other moves next, right?”

Vincent nodded. He smiled and said, “Actually, I only wanted to get the soul patching fruit. However, when I found out that this place is the property of the Star Race, I had to do something. Anyway, after the battle at the capital of Ultimate Evil, I’ve already had a fallout with the Star Race so I’m not afraid of offending them again!”

Justin smiled and said, “I’m looking forward to your next plan. Once you get the soul patching fruit, hand it to me immediately. I’ll keep an eye on your situation. Once there’s danger, I’ll immediately help you!”

Vincent nodded lightly and said, “No problem. Every time the two of us work together, the situation will always be very pleasant!”

The VIP lounge was quiet for a short while before the door was pushed open once again. The auctioneer who had left earlier brought along a servant. The servant brought all the items Vincent wanted in and presented them to Vincent.

Vincent looked at every item calmly. He then very casually picked up the soul patching fruit and gently weighed it in his left hand. He pretended to compare its weight to the dragon egg in his right hand.

When the auctioneer saw this, he only thought that Vincent had the habit of weighing small items and did not pay much attention to it.

The auctioneer said respectfully to Vincent, “Respected guest, if you do not have any instructions, I will take my servant and leave now!”

Vincent said proudly, “You can leave now. Leave the list of the remaining items. I will look through it again. If there is a need, I will look for you!”

The corner of the auctioneer’s mouth twitched violently, and he immediately led his men out of the VIP lounge.

At that moment, Hans was guarding the corridor. As soon as he saw the auctioneer walking out of the lounge, he immediately called him over and asked with anticipation, “How is it? How many items did he choose in total? How much was the total value?”

The auctioneer quickly said, “Reporting to the boss, he chose a total of 23 items. The total value is 1.8 million red crystals, but I’m worried that he wouldn’t be able to come up with so much money!”

Hans said very happily, “Great, I hope he does not have enough red crystals to pay. That way, the dragon egg will belong to our Star Race!”

Only then did the auctioneer understand Hans’s motive. He could not help but say with admiration, “Boss, you have foresight, and you have a strategic plan. Your subordinate is very impressed!”

When Hans heard this, he waved his hand with a look of enjoyment and said, “These are just small tricks. Go and help me check the progress of the teleportation array. Once it is completed, report to me immediately! If I don’t successfully send that dragon egg out of the Inn, I will never be at ease!”

“Yes, your subordinate will do it right away!” replied the auctioneer whilst nodding.

He then turned around and ran downstairs.

In the VIP Lounge, after Vincent confirmed that there was no one outside the room, he said softly, “I’ve got the item! Try to see if it can treat your injuries!”

As soon as he finished speaking, an illusory arm stretched out from Vincent’s chest, grabbed the soul patching fruit in his hand, and retreated into Vincent’s body.

Vincent watched as the fruit directly entered his body. He was still a little worried, but he did not notice anything strange. Only then did he relax.

Soon, Justin’s voice rang in Vincent’s ear, “This soul patching fruit is useful! I need to heal my injuries right now, so I can’t help you for the time being. I’ll inform you when I’m done healing!”

Vincent nodded slightly. Everything was progressing as he had expected. There should not be any battles lined up for him in a short period so he would not need Justin’s support.

Moreover, when the time came, Vincent could still summon Gaia and Benson from the space tunnel, which was enough to deal with all the trouble!

Vincent then proceeded to store all the items in his storage ring. He leaned against the sofa, quietly playing with the dragon egg in his hand.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a knock on the door of the VIP lounge.

“Knock!”

“Come in!” said Vincent lazily. He was lying on the sofa resting.

The door opened and Kurt, who had been away for a long time, walked in. He said cautiously, “Mr. Vincent, those black-robed men who followed us did report to someone about us. I just saw those black-robed men coming back. They are swarming into the auction house as if they are looking for your whereabouts!”

Vincent pointed to the sofa beside him and said softly, “Those men are nothing. Sit down and rest first. I still need to rest up and prepare for the next performance!”

Kurt sat on the sofa, somewhat puzzled. He wanted to ask, but he was afraid of disturbing Vincent’s rest, so he could only cup his hands together with anticipation and worry.

Not long after, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard from outside the room.

Hans walked in with a smile and said, “My dearest friend, I heard that you have found the items you wanted. It’s time for you to pay!”

Vincent quickly sat up from the sofa and asked with embarrassment, “I didn’t expect the auction house to be so safe. I don’t want to use this dragon egg as collateral anymore. Is that possible?”

Hans’s expression changed slightly, and he said with slight anger, “Friend! The items you chose today are worth 1.8 million. If you don’t pay, it will be against the rules!”

Vincent smiled and nodded. He took out a card from his pocket and handed it to Hans. He said, “I thought these items would be very valuable, but it turns out they are only worth 1.8 million.. I have enough money on me to pay for it. Now there’s no need to use the dragon egg as collateral, right?”
