Chapter 222: Items Auction

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm your host for the night, Ron Damien. You can call me Ronny.

Pleased to meet you.

These are my associates, Mr R and Mr D.

The young lady you met before me is my guardian angel Elena. Yes, she is a C-Ranker."

********************

Ron Damien AKA Ronny AKA Eren was seen standing on an aptly placed podium. It had been some time since the students of LA had left the old house they considered as creepy and haunted. Now it was occupied again by a bunch of shady people that exuded the vibe that they were either bloodthirsty criminals or used to hiding in the shadows.

The entire environment, therefore, had a sort of macabre feel to it. And the fact that the people present as well as the host of the event, his guardian, and two associates were wearing face masks added to its visual effect.

Ronny was unfazed by the presence of the dangerous-looking audience he had summoned through Ron's shady contacts. This was because he had Reen standing behind him acting as Elena. She was acting as his guardian and served as the much-needed deterrent for the auction.

Mr R and Mr D were Ron and Dino respectively. Eren told them to come to the place, telling them to follow Ron Damien's orders.

Eren wasn't comfortable with sharing the identity of his alias with his slaves. Nor did he want to make his shapeshifting power known to anybody. The cynic-him thought it would be better if Ronny was introduced as the new guy under his control.

Ron and Dino thought that it was a strange coincidence that the guy they were supposed to follow a few orders of had a name that kinda sounded like their first names mashed together. What they didn't know was that their names also had a hand to play in setting the name of his alias.

Eren had to admit Ron had done a fabulous job in getting things done in the best way possible. Without Eren getting his hands directly involved. He felt like enslaving him and not killing him was worth it. At least till now.

***************************

Ronny carried his opening speech further:

"The rules of this private auction are extremely simple. The increase in bidding value should be at least 10 percent of the item's original price.

For example, if you have an item with the initial bidding amount of 1000 Extols, you can increase the bid by adding 100 into the original amount. The increase in bidding value that is less than 100 Extols will not be accepted.

But you can increase the bid with the amounts ranging from 200, 300, 400 and likewise in Extols. I hope everyone understands the rules so far."

Ronny looked at the audience to confirm they understood what he had said now. Their silence meant their agreement. So he explained some more:

"The bidding will continue unless there's nobody to up the bidding value. Buyers can claim the item that they've successfully bid for right on the spot, delivered to you at your table by my associates. But the delivery will be done AFTER you have paid the bidding amount in full.

Please ensure that you have the money you bid for. Otherwise, Miss guardian angel that you met before me will have to re-educate you in your ranking ways and lifestyle. Hehe!"

Eren didn't forget to use Reen's presence as a threat to intimidate his audience a little. Upon his command, Reen released a bit of her C-Rank mana sense for a fraction of a second.

The people who had come here to spoil the private auction and take the loot for themselves aborted their plans after sensing Reen AKA Elena's presence as a C-Rank warrior. They had understood that a swing of her hand was all it would take to take care of them. For good. They would never wake up from their eternal sleep if Renita decided to end their life.

Now that the deterrence has done her job, it was time for Ronny to start with the actual event.

"Now that the introductions are over, let's get to this private auction you have come to attend without wasting your time. The first item in this list is an old scroll that has a five-star Wind element spell of the E-Rank written on it.

We all know what a five-star spell of E-Rank entails. The bid will start from 2000 Extols. Please state your bid price fast. Once the three hammer hits have been rung and the item is claimed by a certain individual, it will not be brought back in the auction again.

Now let the bid begin."

"2500 Extrols."

"2800 Extols."

"3500 Extols."

…

…

…

The bidding value kept on increasing as more people decided to break their silence and chime in. Eren had kept the base value of the item low to tempt the buyers. But seeing the trend of bid increment, he knew he would be able to get more out of the useless spell in his possession than if just sold it in the black market.

Eren had a lot of useless items from the cultist hideout. So he decided to auction all the stuff that was of high value yet useless to him because of his unsuitable elemental affinity and current level.

Eren kept on raking Extols with each item he auctioned off. Each item was useless to him but valuable in the eyes of the people attending the auction. Therefore, in a way, Eren was making crazy money out of his junk.

Eren had learned long ago that considering things as precious or trash was a personal perspective that was based on the individual's tastes and needs. So he always had it in his mind to do something productive with the items from the cultist hideout that was of no use to him.

It took a while before the item auction ended. Eren had scored an unbelievable amount of Extols by now. But the auction event wasn't over yet.. Eren still had more "things" to auction off after all.
