Auction House 2

Zara gasped, she rolled her eyes. Seeing the middle-aged man falling unconscious

"I didn't expect things to happen like this. That should have been too much for him to handle. I should have given him some time to get hold of himself," she murmured, lost in her thoughts.

Opening his eyes " do have to go to that length for him to understand the function of these pills," Thomas said.

Glaring at Thomas, she grinds her teeth with fury. She wanted to cry but there were no tears in her eyes.

" length your head! how would I know that peak rank 1 pills would give him a heart attack," she thought.

" I hope he will be able to get back from the mental breakdown," Thomas said. Closing his eyes, back to sleep.

" You also need a mental breakdown, it would solve most of the issues I have with you," she wanted to tell him but keep quiet.

Ignoring the unconscious man, she concentrates her attention on the auction events that had been ongoing while she had been talking with the man.

After a few minutes, the middle-aged man woke up. He stared at Zara who had already long gone, lost in the auction event. " how can she be this heartless, can't she show a little bit of care?" the man thought.

Standing up, the middle-aged gathered his thoughts, the thought of what happened a moment ago still rang in his mind.

" is everything you said about these pills true?"

"Humph"

" just placed it on the auction list. Anyone who gets to buy will be the living testimony. Don't question me, please do what you are told to do, besides starting prizes is twenty gold coins," she said while her gaze had been on the auction area.

" twenty gold what!?"

The man yelled subconsciously when he heard the huge astronomical amounts of money.

Zara glared at him, she had been furious about what Thomas said earlier. " will you keep quiet? You are disturbing my peace. Hadn't I be a considerate person, I would have said fifty gold coins."

"Considerate your family," the man murmured.

" hmm"

" what do you say?" Zara asked, raising her eyebrows. Her gaze glaring at the man fiercely.

The man shivers throughout his body. His spin had been drenched in a cold sweat. He replied quickly "I said that was generous of you"

" humph"

" you think the money is too much? Hmm, After today you will not get the pills even if you offer us one thousand gold coins. So you had better make use of this opportunity"

" ok, I understand," the middle-aged man nods his head.

Thinking for a while " the auction house will have to collect ten percent of the total sales of the pills," the middle-aged man said.

" please "

Gesturing her forward to him to do whatever he likes. Seeing this, the man did not feel any discourteousness from how Zara treated him. He was gratified, he could speak to a legendary character like her.

" she is not from the sky polar empire or else I would have heard of her extraordinary name," he thought.

Quickly, the man took a large stride and walked out of the VIP tent with a broad smile on his face.

" When are they going to bring out the storage ring? All this garbage they are bringing forth is worthless to me," Zara thought.

" I don't know you have that in you," Thomas said abruptly.

Listen to the sudden voice of Thomas, she was hysterical. She gasped, her heart was beaten one hundred times per second. Placing her right hand on her chest. She tries to calm her nerves down.

Baring her teeth, she glared at Thomas boiling with rage " I would strangle you to death if I can," she thought.

Regaining her composure, she glances at him for a few moments before taking her eyes off. " what do I have in me that you didn't know before," she asked.

" don't you know?" Thomas asked, brushed off the way she behaves. " if you don't know, pay no mind to it then"

" why wouldn't I know," she thought.

" because of the manner which I used in talking with the middle-aged man," she said, looking at him.

"Mhmm"

Thomas peeps at her without uttering a word. Zara smiles, puffing her chest upward " how can I be working with you without learning anything from the way you behave"

" am not that dull," she thought.

" so you learned that from me!" Thomas asked, his eyebrows raised, looking at her with his lips twitched upward a bit.

" of course, what do you think?"

Paying no attention to what she says, Thomas focused on the ongoing auction

" oh! It's now the turn of the storage ring," Zara said. looking at Thomas, blinking her eyes a few times. She smiles broadly, biting her lower lip.

" just bid for it, don't look at me like that," Thomas said.

She giggles " how do I look at you?"

Right then, the voice of the mature woman on the auctioning podium was heard " the starting bid for the rank 1 medium storage ring is five hundred silver coins"

" Good, this is what I had been waiting for. It mine, you can all forget about it," she murmured.

The bids begin quickly, with various noble people bidding for the storage ring.

" six hundred silver coins "

" seven hundred"

" nine hundred"

From one of the VIP tents, a young man dressed extravagantly shouted " one gold five hundred silver coins. Let see who will go against me," he said arrogantly.

He had yet to finish what he was saying when a cold but sweet voice had been heard from another VIP tent.

" two gold coins"

.

All the audience were in total laconism, dead air filled the auction house. Like total secrecy among the audience, everywhere remains in stillness. The silent atmosphere can be cut with a knife.

The mature auctioneer lady regains her bearing swiftly.

" Hmm, hmm, any more bids," she said in a hushed voice.

The atmosphere gets back to its liveliness with various whispers coming out from every angle.

" who knows that cold voice?"

" that young man is a shrimp "

" did he think this place is his family's ancestral ground?"

" nevermind, he's still wet behind his ears."

Listen to the various whispers, the young arrogant man had tensed muscles all over his body. Having a dry mouth, he stared at the top tent where the cold voice comes from.

" you dare to go against me? You will pay for this" he murmured.

" don't worry senior brother, we will teach her a lesson after the auction," said a young man sitting beside the arrogant boy.

Watching all the drama unfolding in the main auction area. Zara crossed her leg together, glancing from one angle to another.

" are you going to bid or what?" Thomas asked, not looking at her.

" How could a lady enjoy herself by merely watching a little scenario among the nobles' young master and mistress," he thought.

" oh lordmaster, don't spoil the fun," Zara chuckled.

There had been a radiant smile all over her face. She had enjoyed the little drama that just happened.

"I can't believe the auction house can be this interesting," she whispered.

" hmmm, hmm"

Clearing her throat, " five gold coins"
