GACHA SOVEREIGN

533 Heated Bidding Figh

"The Flame Heating Lotus base price is one hundred thousand Spirit Gems. Any bid can't be lower than ten thousand Spirit Gems. Start!"

"100,000 Spirit Gems."

"110,000 thousand..."

The bid continued peacefully for a few seconds before someone broke the peace.

"1,000,000 Spirit Gems."

They immediately stupefied, searching for the bidder. Shock and disappointment filled their heart the moment they saw the young master of Fire God Clan joined, breaking the fierce competition.

It was not really surprising as Fire God Clan had shown their interest in this item from the start, but the sudden increase pummeled the excitement. Albeit, just like the Fire God Clan, the Antheream family also had some money to spare for a special herb like this.

After the Fire God Clan destroyed everyone's enthusiasm, Lucia decided to play around. "1,100,000."

Alex peeked out of the windows to see the other appearances, but it would seem they were chilling inside their room.

"1,200,000."

"1,300,000..."

The Flame Heating Lotus might not benefit their family as the Fire God Clan, but there were many Fire Martial Artists in the family that might need this. It would be better if they found someone who had a fire element and invited them to their family. For someone to be qualified for this lotus, they should be one of the continent's peerless geniuses.

As long as they bought this lotus, there would be a high chance of a genius like Alex to appear before their gate. Unfortunately, this item was too important for the Fire God Clan, forcing the young master of Fire God Clan to bid even higher.

Alex walked back to his chair, sat down, and narrowed his eyes. In this bidding war, this person did not resemble a person who made an assassination plan for Song Jia.

"Is this person a different one?" Alex muttered to himself, before gradually looking at Song Yu. When he was about to ask, he finally found a certain person in the Fire God Clan that was known as a 'bastard.'

"Interesting..." The Fire God Clan made its preparation as well by using the clown as a front. Alex activated his Spirit Eyes once again, probing other cultivations.

It turned out there were three people inside the room, with one being the useless person. The other one had a 9-Star Martial Emperor cultivation, which could be easily recognized as an elder. On the other hand, the third person had a calm aura with 4-Star Martial Emperor Cultivation. The fire inside him was blazing but sturdy.

Alex predicted their sect master sent them here as a clown, a brain, and a bodyguard. He was in no hurry to confirm his general assumptions. He sipped his tea and waited until the fight was almost over.

...

"2,100,000 Spirit Gems!" The young master of Fire God Clan shouted and smirked while looking at Lucia.

Lucia pondered for a moment before shaking her head. They had used up their money because of many previous bids. Fighting more would only lead to more damage to both sides, so she decided to step down.

"2,100,000. Going once." Song Lei started counting.

"2,200,000." Similarly, he would start as soon as the war stopped, creating another bidding war.

On the other hand, the Fire God Clan turned around, glared at Alex's room, and understood that it was the Spirit Nest room.

At this moment, a young man with fiery red hair smiled evilly and thought something good. He had been waiting for the Spirit Nest to come out and thought they would not participate.

"Wait." The young man fixed his hair as he rose from his seat. This person was known as Fire God Clan's eldest senior brother, Grimes. Even the elder narrowed his eyes, never expecting him to get fired up.

"The Sect Master has given an order to retrieve this lotus. We still have money to spare, so no need to be polite." Grimes was planning to use the young man to offend the Spirit Nest's leader according to the Sect Master's request, and the elder had no intention to stop him.

For a useless young master, he simply misunderstood him, smirked, and shouted.

"2,500,000."

Listening to another skip, Alex furrowed his eyebrows before glancing at Song Yu. "How much do they actually bring?"

Song Yu pondered for a moment before saying, "I don't know. From my point of view, they would not bring more than half of their own treasury, so around five million Spirit Gems. Looking at how they have spent more than one million, just be prepared to use around four million Spirit Gems."

"Alright. It's not like I can't afford it anyway. I will play it politely." Alex said playfully, having another plan for this fight.

"2,600,000." The voice was calm and soothing, making the others know he did not take offense in that leap.

On the other hand, the Fire God Clan attacked him once more. "3,000,000!"

The other participants started piling up the displeasure for Fire God Clan by disrupting this bid fight. If not because the host was Song Lei, they would start a ruckus by saying many things toward the Fire God Clan.

Unfortunately, they could only sit down and clench their hands in frustration.

"3,100,000." Alex's voice echoed again without any change of tone.

Though they have heard rumors about Spirit Nest, they never knew the depth of this influence. Even though they had destroyed the branches of Joyful Union Sect, they went into hiding once more. If it were other influences, they would certainly tell the world their strength and look down upon them.

With this bidding fight, the people wondered whether the Spirit Nest would pick another fight, considering their close relationship with Blackwade Clan.

"3,500,000!" The other side had no patience about him anymore because they had no more money.

Unfortunately, Alex still kept his calm and said, "3,600,000."

"You-!" The young master glared at Alex's room and gnashed his teeth.

Even Grimes had a change of expression. The Spirit Nest itself should be a new influence as no matter how hard they searched, not a single trace or record to be found. For a newborn influence, it was almost impossible to have this much money.

The Fire God Clan had been speculating their total numbers, but they should not be able to hide if they had too many people. On the other hand, if they did not possess a big number, they would not have this much money.

According to the record, there was only a transaction around two million Spirit Gems with Blackwade Clan. Then, he was curious about where this much money was coming from.

For the first time of this auction, he walked to the window, revealing his appearance. The people would certainly know this person. After all, if the young master was a hell that might bring doom to the sect, this Grimes was Heaven, who would bring prosperity.

As soon as he revealed his presence, the auction room fell into silence while Song Lei frowned.

"If Patriarch Song Lei could forgive this young man's rudeness, this young man has a question to ask Patriarch Song Lei." He paused a bit, creating a tense atmosphere before saying, "No one knows enough about Spirit Nest, so I can't help but wondering if they really have that much money?

"The only influence that has been collaborating with them is your Blackwade Clan. If I am not wrong, it's at the point of millions of Spirit Gems. However, we don't know the exact amount. It might even lower than what they are bidding right now..." He flowered his words to make Song Lei look bad by cheating on them.

"My Blackwade Clan has never done such irresponsible things for a few centuries. Are you questioning our integrity?" Song Lei narrowed his eyes.

"No, of course, I'm not questioning your integrity. It's just with how close they are with Blackwade Clan, I feel it's just because you won't part with the lotus, you are using them to get it back for you by your own money. Or another possibility is you using them to raise the bid.

"After all, it's hard for us to believe they have enough money to buy the herb. They also don't have enough reputation to make us believe their claim." Grimes cornered Song Lei with his words.

Alex knew that Grimes was trying to antagonize him. Grimes might even nitpick a very tiny detail and used it to his cause. Unfortunately, with his N squad telling him their plan to rile him up, Alex decided not to say anything and let Song Lei resolve the issue.

In the end, Song Lei only shrugged his shoulder. "We would never conduct such a thing. If you don't believe us, what can we do? Checking their space rings? Do you want us to break our own integrity just to satisfy your 'curiosity.' In the end, you can attack us again with those bullsh*t words after we check their credibility.

"So, I only have one thing to say. We will keep our integrity no matter how you pressure us. You don't like it, then leave it."

His statement could be interpreted as a declaration of war, but the people inside were also not stupid. They could differentiate who was at fault here.

Grimes narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment and looked at Alex's room for a few seconds before turning back to Song Lei. "Since Patriarch Song Lei is adamant on this matter, then this Junior can only back down."

Song Lei only shrugged, ignored his last comment and continued the auction.

"3,600,000. Going Once."

"Going Twice."

"Sold."

"With this, the auction has officially ended. For all participants, you can get your items in our special room as to ensure your privacy. On the other hand, our VIP can just ask our staff to get your items if you want. And I hope all of you can have your discretion and not cause a ruckus around here." Normally, someone would end an auction with a warm smile, but all they got was another wave of killing intent from Song Lei.

Even Alex was a bit surprised at how different he was.

"Fufu... Junior Brother, thank you for your patronage." Song Yu smirked, teasing him.

Alex simply stared at her for a while without an expression before replying, "I can get it back later. If I am not wrong, a single rank 6 array plate can give me around fifty to one hundred thousand Spirit Gems, so just be prepared and get your money ready. I might suck you dry."

"Haha... True enough. It's because of your abnormal refining speed, and I am assuming your drawing speed is also as good as your refining speed, right? In that way, we might get bankrupt soon." Song Yu paused for a moment, made a cute smile, and teased him again. "At that time, I will ask Junior Brother to take care of me."

"Enough with the joke. In any case, the price would decrease by doing that."

"Of course, we won't sell it immediately so as not to inflate the market. This way, we can make more money in the long term. Though if Junior Brother keeps sending us the array plates, we can't accept it as we have no more money." Song yu shook her head before changing the topic. "Anyway, I will get your items right away, so please wait here... or do you want to get it yourself?"

Alex pondered for a moment and looked around his surroundings with his Spirit Eyes before shaking his head. "Nah. I will trouble Senior Sister."

"Sure." Song Yu nodded and left the room.

Alex noticed that no one had yet to leave their VIP room, including the Joyful Union Sect. Using this chance, he took Leoz's, and Jeanne's cards.

"Summon."

The duo appeared out of thin air, knowing what to do. Jeanne said with a grim expression, "We are going."

"Yeah. Be careful." Alex nodded.

Alex's memory and intention came inside their mind earlier. He was planning to stay here for a while to make others think he was not going to do anything.

Meanwhile, Leoz, and Jeanne had positioned themselves to ambush the Joyful Union Sect Elder.
