Chapter 56 AUCTION (1)
Laura: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Blue River auction. We hope that you will enjoy your time here and have a great experience with us. My name is Laura, the operation head manager of the Blue River Chamber of Commerce. I will be your host and representative for the day."
Alan and his family, together with the hunts, watched Laura performing the opening segment of the auction with confidence and ease.
Rosaline: "That girl is not bad at all."
Ariana: "She's amazing. The level of confidence that she has is something that many only wish to have."
Alan: "Indeed, big sister. Laura looks cool."
Lana, who watched Alan mesmerized by the confident display of Laura, felt a tightness in her chest as she asked herself, would I be able to do it with ease just like her?
....
Laura: "Without further delay, we will start presenting the items.
The first item for the auction is a rare 6th-class treasure called The Emberstone, a water attribute treasure that is found only in a specific secret realm called the Lake of Days.
The starting bidding price is 500 million federation dollars."
"510 million"
"550 million"
.

"610 million"
.
.
Laura: "We have 870 million. Do we have 875? 870 million goes twice, 870 million sold to the guest in room number 45."
.....
The auction started to get more lively by the minute as a fierce bid war started with every item better than the last.
Mason: "The auction is a big success. The higher the class of treasure, the more the value inflates. For 7th class treasures and above, the bidding can only be done with beast cores or ENA crystals. Kid, you are going to be filthy rich."
Alan: "Uncle Mason, you yourself know that no matter how many resources a beast tamer had, he could never be wealthy enough."
Mason: "Indeed, you're right, but for someone your age, you are doing much better than anyone in your age group. In fact, you are doing much better than many veterans."
Lana: "The veterans you are talking about, Dad, would not include you, right?"
With a smile on her face, Lana teased her father.
Rosaline: "Hahahahaha, Alan, you are a rich man now, so you have to prepare dinner later for all of us. Make it a three-course dinner, or else you will be called a miser."
Ariana: "I am proud of you, son. I guess Rosa has been poisoned by your delicious cooking too."
Alan: "With pleasure, Madam Hunt."
"You!!! You are the mad butcher; you didn't come all the way here after me just to make a fight, did you?"
"You are too self-conscious; I'm just here to make a bid."
The mad butcher sound was teasing, to say the least.
"Damn you butcher 30 million."
.
.
.
Lana: "They seem to know each other."
Mason: "another titled High class beast Tamer from what I heard The Mad butcher has some bad blood with white wolf"
Alan: "They would not start fighting here? Right."
Rosaline: "Do not worry; the mayor is here. I don't think they are stupid enough to make trouble knowing the mayor's estate is the one responsible for security and protection. Only if they are ready to become an enemy of the federation, then yeah, maybe they will fight."
The bidding war was concluded with the white wolf's victory at the price of 45 million ENA crystals, which was at least 15 million more than the actual price.
Nova: "Master, I can feel it again!! The same weird and sinister energy is building up around the venue."
Alan: "Where did you feel it before?"
Alan's expressions changed as he knew how sensitive Nova can be, as even high-class beasts can't preclude Nova's acute senses.
Nova: "In the forest when we clashed with the lunatics!!!!"
Feeling a clenching sensation in his stomach as he knew what Nova was talking about.
Alan: "Uncle Mason, we have...."
Before he could finish his sentence His attention was drawn to the middle of the stage where Laura was getting ready to present the last treasure; suddenly someone seated within the guest seats moved at a high speed with a sinister energy radiating from every bone in his body, targeting Laura, who was completely unaware.
Alan: "Nova!!!!"
Within a millisecond Laura froze when she saw the man coming at her with a bloodlust radiating from his crazy eyes, ready to kill her.
Only for Laura to vanish into thin air when she was almost within his grasp.
Suddenly the whole venue started shaking as a blinding light formation completely covered the whole place, encrypted with ancient runes.
Catching everyone off guard.
Many individuals mixed with the guests and stood up from their seats as they started chanting.
""Khar'zul, Vor'ath, Nyx'thra! Dov'zhul, Kael'drin, Rha'goth! Astra'goth, Vor'gath, Kael!"
"From the shadows I call you, creature of tooth and claw. From the depths I summon you, where darkness holds its maw. Rise from slumber, awaken from your dream; I offer you my will."
The men who chanted took out some ceremonial daggers as they plunged them deeply in their hearts, which gave Alan and everyone else in the venue the chills.
