Chapter 120: A new genius in the city Part5

“Fucking crazy bitch!” Marvin repeatedly cursed the damned snake and eyed her with extreme hostility.

He would look away, take a few deep breaths, try to calm himself down, but then his eyes would again disobey him circling back to the snake and raising his temper.

Dranuk however, calmly sat next to him and mumbled. “Not now, young master. Not now. We have come here for something far more important.”

“Let’s keep our eyes on the price. Surely that bitch will fall into our hands sooner or later.”

“But why did she slap you suddenly? Did you really molest her in the market place? Ha Ha.”

“It must have felt good to play with that scrumptious figure of hers.” Dranuk chuckled and asked, his curiosity getting the better of him.

Marvin slowly turned around and gave the old elf a death glare. 

If he had actually done something like that, then at least he would have somewhat understood, accepted, and maybe even enjoyed these slaps.

But this crazy bitch had slapped him repeatedly for no reason at all! And she even dared to do it today!!

What the hell? Was she planning on slapping him every time she saw him? What did I even do? 

Marvin harrumphed and remained silent, unwilling to answer the old elf’s question and lose his respect further.

“Ohkay. Okay. I won’t ask anymore.” Dranuk gestured with his hands, and quickly changed the subject.

“Let’s discuss more important things. How many funds have you prepared in advance?”

Marvin’s expression turned softer and his earlier pride even partially returned.

“Heh. There is no one here who can compete with me.”

“Ever since I successfully obtained the affinity to fire elemental, father’s opinion and actions towards me has drastically changed.”

“I can even go toe to toe with any of the big clans of the nine nations.” Marvin proudly declared.

“That is good. Very good indeed. Today we will definitely face a lot of competition.”

“It is not often that a treasured pill like this surfaces in the auction house.” Dranuk groomed his beard and nodded solemnly with a serious expression.

“But what I don’t understand is, who concocted this pill?”

“It takes two entire lunar cycles to concoct a batch of this pill.”

“More importantly, only a grandmaster could even achieve such a feat.”

“And that too they would only waste time on something like this either for personal use or for a high-level expert’s breakthrough.”

“The last time Crown Prince Xander had concocted this pill, he used it for his own mental tempering and achieved a breakthrough.”

Marvin seriously nodded in response. He too was completely taken aback by this unexpected occurrence.

“I am also curious about this. I personally investigated.” He slowly mumbled.

“None of the grandmasters in the Eldorian Empire have crafted this pill.”

“Mmhm.” Dranuk nodded. He had guessed as much.

“So who is this pill from?” He loudly pondered. “Who in the name of heavens dared to concoct this monstrous pill and that too not for personal use, but for putting it up on the auction house!”

“Tsk. Tsk. I agree.” Marvin indignantly mumbled. “What a crazy bastard! Casually throwing away a Devil Awakening pill for a mere bucketload of gems?” He shook his head in disappointment.

While these two cursed and gossiped loudly, similar conversations were taking place all over the enormous auction house auditorium.

No one was able to digest the fact that a Devil Awakening pill had casually surfaced on the auction house.

Treasured pills like this were only either auctioned on special occasions or exchanged behind the scenes with an equally treasured item.

No one would walk into the auction house and trivially submit it as just another item for the daily auction schedule.

It just didn’t make sense and everyone was confused.

More importantly, everyone had come to the same conclusion as Marvin did and was curious to learn who this new genius was.

They could only console themselves that at least the auction managers had the good sense to postpone the item’s auction to the end of the day and allow time for the news to spread.

As the day slowly ticked away, more and more elves, dwarves, and fairies started trickling into the auction house.

Even the royal Generals from the Crown’s private army had started to arrive.

At this point, Tang Yue slightly started feeling nervous. She couldn’t help but shiver in the presence of these mighty monsters.

“Why is my item not out yet?” She wondered.

Till now, she had been busy messing around with the system and studying the beast contract that was rewarded after the three ‘bitch’ slaps.

But after seeing more and more people enter in and the crowd in the auction house suddenly skyrocket, she could sense that something was off.

“Is a rare grade item or epic grade item going to be auctioned today?”

“Hmm. What pill could it be?” Tang Yue pondered, without realizing the chaos she had unwittingly caused.

Because just like Lotte had feared, she still didn’t have enough knowledge and experience about how things worked in the elven lands.

But unlike he had assumed, she didn’t overestimate the worth of her pills, rather she had underestimated them.

And the icing on this cake was that no one yet knew the true potential of her special Devil Awakening pill!

This was a kiddie version! 

Something that most people could consume, train their minds with, and not suffer a life-ending backlash from the side effects of the pill or in case of a failure to conquer their inner demons.

And they could even pop in a second pill and try again to achieve success!

This pill that Tang Yue had put up for auction was a complete game changer!

With this everyone could train their mental strength easily.

But Tang Yue was neither from an alchemy family background nor did she possess much experience in using different pills, dealing with auction house trading, and so on.

So she had committed this blunder of casually auctioning a completely unheard of miraculous version of the Devil Awakening pill.

Soon the dusk neared and the entire auction house was brimming with big shots or their representatives. Every major clan in the nine nations had sent over a representative at least.

“Did they forget about my pill?” Tang Yue chewed on her nails in nervousness. 

She could distinctly feel Marvin’s death glare on her back and wanted to leave this place as fast as she could but unfortunately, her pill was still not up on the auctioning block yet.

Tang Yue looked around here and there trying to figure out what was happening. All the seats in the enormous auditorium were occupied and she was completely surrounded by random people.

She turned towards the elf sitting beside her and cautiously asked. “What is happening?”

“Hmm?” The elf snorted and gave her a condescending glance. “Why are you sitting here without even knowing what’s happening?”

“You better get out. There is a crowd waiting outside trying to get in.”

The elf next to him also turned around and chimed. “Heh. Do you even have the money to take part in this snake? Get out if you know what’s good for you.”

Ah, there it is! The famed elven arrogance! Tang Yue chuckled helplessly. I really should have worn my royal robe before stepping out.

She ignored the nasty racist comments, cleared her throat, and tried asking again. “Is there any special pill about to be auctioned?”

“Tch. Tch. Will you stop bothering me? Yes, a Devil Awakening pill is about to be auctioned. What are you going to do about it?”

“Just get out snake. Don’t pester others.”

“A…A Devil awakening pill?” Tang Yue stuttered in shock and alarm.

This… All of this… Did I cause this?? Fuckkkkk! Her brain exploded.

“Yes, yes. A devil awakening pill. Something that you can’t afford even in your wildest dreams. Now get out.” The elf annoyedly mouthed.

Ah~ Tang Yue was too terrified to respond to the condescending asshole. Her mind was rather focused on how she was going to get out of this predicament now.

These many people! No, these many experts! Fuckkk! The snake started sweating profusely.

I should have done some market research before selling it randomly like an idiot. She repeatedly cursed her stupidity.

She knew that it was a top tier pill, which was why she had brought it into the auction house and not just another pill shop. 

But who knew it could cause this much of a stir??!

Without wasting another second, Tang Yue quickly got up and weaved through the gathered crowd to step outside the auditorium.

Even outside there were a lot of people loitering around waiting patiently for the auctioning to start.

Tang Yue’s heart weakened with every step she took. What shitty luck is this? I do one thing and get into this much trouble.

She hurried her nervous legs and rushed to the counter near the entrance of the auction association. She ran towards the same auction manager and panted her words, completely out of breath.

“Huff. Huff. Can I… Can I take back my pills?”
