Demon Sword?

The auctioning system of the current year was now more advanced than the current times. Guests only needed to press the command buttons attached to their chairs. They can just click on the following buttons:

+ 10 000 dollars

+ 100 000 dollars

+ 500 000 dollars

+ 1 000 000 dollars

+ 10 000 000 dollars

After clicking the buttons, their names and the amount of their bids will be flashed on the huge screen above the stage. Even if they did not bring any cash with them, they can still bid. They just had to deliver the money to the Marchand Family within the allocated time. And since all of them were businessmen and businesswomen, they knew how important it was to build trust. If they can't even pay the amount they had bid, then aside from offending the Marchand Family, they will also lose the trust they had built up for many years.

The bidding for the Red Lion became even more fierce, especially to the sword fanatics among the guests who collect sword relics ancient swords.

- 500 000 dollars

- 600 000 dollars

- 700 000 dollars

Inside one of the VIP rooms.

"Since when did I become your wife my lord?" Nocturna blinked her eyes innocently at Cale while clinging onto his left arm. The latter's heartbeat suddenly quickened, but he hurriedly calmed himself down. Cale then glanced at Nocturna with a slight smile while rubbing her head softly. "That Lhun Monkey guy dares to ogle at my Nocturna, of course, I had to drive him away." He then frowned as if he was really angered by Lhun Marchand which made Nocturna produce a burst of light melodic laughter. "My lord, it's Lhun Marchand."

Cale then faked a surprised expression and asked Nocturna with round eyes. "Eh? Is it Marchand? Something might be wrong with my ears today."

Nocturna covered her little mouth with her dainty hands while holding herself back from laughing. Atlas who was listening to their conversation was at loss for words. 'How could there be something wrong with a peak stage Emperor-Class' ears?' 

While Cale was busy joking around with Nocturna, he suddenly felt a sense of longing within him. It was as if something inside him had felt or seen what it was wishing for. 

Cale glanced at the ancient sword 'Red Lion' on the stage. The bidding for the sword had reached more than one million dollars and the bidding was also slowing down. Cale then pressed on the button attached to his chair.

Tyrannical Tower + 1 000 000 dollars

Cale bade more than half of the current bid for the sword, greatly shocking the guests inside the auction house.

"What a prodigal! Spending more than two million dollars for an ancient sword of a baron!

"Old man Sekoujo, the kid just bade an additional amount of one million dollars!" Delfino was shocked at Cale's bid. 

"Let him be. The Tyrannical Tower has a lot of resources and that Wolf King might have asked the kid Cale to buy him some treasures for him." Old man Sekoujo was also dumbfounded, but he was already immune to the surprises that Cale do.

"2 700 000 dollars for the Red Lion, anyone else who wanted bid?" The scantily dressed woman glanced around the auction house and saw no signs of movement among the crowd. "Congratulations to our dear guests from the Tyrannical Tower!"

Cale's expression did not change one bit and he just continued to stare at the sword on the stage. 'What could 'The Black Market' want from this sword?' 

"The next item is a jade bracelet made with several gemstones. The starting price is four hundred thousand dollars!" 

The women amongst the guests were staring fondly at the jade bracelet. They then clicked their bids while looking at the bracelet longingly. 

- 500 000 dollars

- 600 000 dollars

"Do you want this jade bracelet?" Cale asked Nocturna while glancing at her side profile with a slight smile.

Nocturna glanced back at Cale and shook her head slowly. "No my lord. We elves don't need treasures."

Cale rubbed her head gently and clicked his bid. "Oh okay, then I will give this to my little Ying. Don't worry, I will also buy something for you."

Nocturna felt warm in her heart and smiled enchantingly.

Tyrannical Tower + 1 000 000 dollars

"Shit! The kid is wasting Wolf King's money! This bracelet is probably for that woman who was with him!" Delfino was dumbstruck about Cale's spending. He did not even bid an amount which was less than a million dollars and just bade an additional amount of one million dollars in one go.

Oldman Sekoujo did not even reply to Delfino anymore and was just cursing in his mind. 'Kid, don't offend too many people. Everyone here has powerful backgrounds, and just the Decaux Family alone is already strong.'

The women who bade for the jade bracelet were dejected and just sighed with regret. 

"Anyone else for this jade bracelet?" The woman asked the crowd while glancing around.

"Congratulations to the guests from the Tyrannical Tower!" Her voice contained joy as if it was her who won the item and the way she spoke made the guests feel euphoric.

Cale and the other two suddenly felt a presence behind their door, but they saw no signs of hostility. 

"Knock! Knock! Knock! Knock!"

Cale glanced at Atlas briefly, making the latter nod his head in understanding. He then opened the door and they saw an elegantly dressed woman smiling brightly at them. Behind her, was a man pushing a tray cart.

"Dear guests, sorry for the surprising visit. I'm here to deliver the Red Lion for you." The woman spoke professionally and the smile did not leave her face at all.

"Oh, great! Thanks for delivering the item for us." Cale smiled lightly at her, making the woman blush. Cale's devilishly handsome face and his calm demeanor charmed the woman instantly. 'How handsome!' She shouted inwardly before she left their VIP room.

Atlas took the sword from them and presented it to Cale. The latter held the sword with one hand and sensed an evil power contained within. 'What a strange sword.'

Nocturna glanced at the sword and a frown was visible on her face. "My lord, this sword contains too much evil energy and this is not just an ordinary ancient sword. It has the aura of a strong demon." 

Cale was surprised at her statement, but he just kept the sword inside his storage. "We will find out later."
