Chapter 531: Auction Star

531 Auction Star

"By the way, is there any rule about this city, like I can't kill or whatever?" Alex asked.

"Not really." Song Yu shook her head.

"Then it is fine if I use that elder's head to wage war, right?" He asked, pointing at Joyful Union Sect's room.

"Oh." She nodded. "If you want to move right after the auction, it will be best to wait until night as to avoid any suspicion from the Fire God Clan.

"That's my plan."

"Good." She turned back to Song Jia, "I need you to tell the others to get ready tonight..." Before she finished, she glanced at Alex, "Or do you want my younger sister to accompany you in this auction?"

Song Jia stared at his back for a few seconds before rising from her seat. "I can handle our people. Elder Sister can stay here and continue discussing the plan."

Alex did not say anything, not caring about who would stay.

She only smiled and left the room.

"You are blessed with a younger sister like that," Alex could not help but comment.

"Yeah. I am proud of her." She nodded, raised her hand and puffed her chest.

"On the battlefield, it will be better if your Blackwade Clan makes a late entrance. If possible, after I have erected the barrier to trap them."

"Alright. Still, can your assassins kill the array masters? I mean, they are rank 6 array masters."

Considering there were not many records about space element array masters, they might not understand how Extended World Array works. After all, this array had been tweaked by him with all his knowledge to make it harder to decipher. A few dummy symbols which served no purpose other than bait for people. Alex needed to make a few array papers so he could create an array big enough to produce those dummy symbols.

In the meantime, his N squad could kill them. Though he did not use his EXP cards, they somehow were able to reach Martial Emperors since he found out that SR spirits were easier to level up than UR spirits long ago. The competence and stealth ability of his N squad would surely make the enemy confused.

Of course, the worst-case scenario would be if they managed to break the barrier. He wasn't certain how big the impact would hit him, so he decided to send a few people to protect the barrier from the array masters.

He answered, "I will take care of the barrier, so you don't need to worry about it. Just attack them as hard as possible while preparing for the worst."

She paused for a few seconds before nodding her head. "Alright. By the way, you said you want an item in this auction, which item?"

"Flame Heating Lotus."

"!!!" Song Yu fell into silence and made a troubled look. "Are you sure?"

"Yeah. It is beneficial to me." Alex acknowledged.

"This might be a bit troublesome for us."

"Why? Is it because the Fire God Clan is targeting it?"

"Yeah." She nodded.

"I really need this Flame Heating Lotus, and I won't give it to anyone."

"No. That's not what I mean." She sighed. "The Fire God Clan might use this as a reason to attack you or us."

"Don't worry. They won't have the time to react. First of all, they need to go back first and come back with their people. It will take at least three days from Fire God Clan to Joyful Union Sect. I carefully choose the timing to make sure that won't happen."

"The person who is coming to this auction is their young master, the one that wants me. He brings three 9-Star Martial Emperors here." Song Yu explained carefully, making sure he understood the possibility.

"If he decides to enter the war despite having little number, the only result is death. In that case, you can take that chance to attack the Fire God Clan after destroying the Joyful Union Sect." Alex shrugged. "If they are coming back to bring their people, it would be too late as the war would be over. Trust me. I am not someone who would drag on the war."

"Alright. I will go according to your plan." She pondered for a moment and nodded. "Back to the previous topic, I feel they will fight a money war with you."

"That's why I am asking for a leeway. From my information, the Joyful Union Sect at least has 10 million Spirit Gems. I don't really like thieves, so I don't want to take someone's possession unless they are my enemy, that I made not because of this money war." Alex sighed.

She stared at him for a while before shaking her head helplessly. "In this world, you can kill someone because of a whim or from the slightest grievances, and you don't want that?"

"Nah. I am not a good person, but I still have integrity. If I labeled something bad, I rather not do it than doing it before explaining with flowery words, especially in this case. If not with my power, I can steal the flower before you can put it in the auction."

"It's... true." Song Yu wanted to say he could not steal it, but Nicole's figure flashed in her mind. Just like Nicole, Alex could really bypass their defense and steal it unless they put a few elders to guard it.

In fact, Alex wanted to rescue Evelyn by using his N squad, but the prison was filled with Martial Emperors with two elders standing on the guard. Little did they know it was still useless in front of Alex's power.

"Anyway, I want to buy Array Papers first since we need to wait."

"Sure. Let me bring it to you." Song Yu poured tea for him before leaving the room.

Alex then started enjoying his time alone in the room and began observing the auction room. He was in the first room from the right.

The elder from Joyful Union Sect, who came alone, was two rooms beside him. On the other hand, Blue West Clan and Antheream Family stayed together while the Fire God Clan was right beside them. Alex saw another room with one person inside, thinking it should be another VIP guest like him.

Ignoring that guest, he looked at the stage with his Spirit Eyes. "Oh!"

He found an array underneath the stage and calculated the number of symbols. "Rank 6... It must be there to prevent anyone from stealing it just by activating it."

After observing the platform, he picked up a porcelain teacup and took a sip. The waiting time was surely boring, but luckily, Song Yu came back after ten minutes.

She handed the space ring to him. "There are a few 100x100 meter array papers made by rank 6 monsters, along with their blood."

Alex channeled his spiritual energy inside the ring, checking the quality and quantity. "Good enough. How much?"

"You don't need to worry about it. Just take it as a gesture from me since you will give so many things to us later like the green boxes and money from the auction... making me feel bad. At the very least, I can cover a little portion of your expense." She waved her hand. How could she accept it when she would get a few million Spirit Gems in the near future from the Flame Heating Lotus and Alex's medicinal ingredients. In addition, he would even give their green boxes."

He did not act reserved and took the space ring. "Thanks."

"I should be the one who says that." Song Yu paused for a moment before saying, "Can you really draw many symbols in a day? From what I know, array masters draw slowly to prevent any misstep."

"Don't compare me with them," He stated and sipped his tea.

"True enough. I almost forgot how monstrous your pill refining speed alone, and the array should be easy for you. Alright. I don't need to worry about it anymore."

"Yeah." He nodded.

"Actually... I want to tell you something." Song Yu looked down, playing with her hair.

"What is it?"

"It's about your VIP card."

"Is there something special about it?"

"I asked my grandfather, but it was related to the main family. All he heard was just a rumor, so if you want to know the truth, you need to go to the main family. I am sorry that I can't help you." She sighed.

"Hmm... I don't have a purpose there and might only utilize it as a trading partner. Whether I know or not, I don't care."

"Actually, my grandfather asked me to accompany you to the Heavenly Continent to ask about the card."

"I have something to do, so I am not sure I can travel to the Heavenly Continent directly from here. I also need to fix Rose's problem and go to the Sacred Continent." Alex rejected her by saying his general plan.

She did not ask the details of his plan. Instead, she smiled and encouraged him. "Good luck. I am planning to go there in the future. So, if fate reunites us, I will give you detailed information about the card. Though I doubt I will know it before you."

Alex shrugged. "Just leave it to the future."

"Sure."

Having nothing important to talk about, they decided to talk about all the smaller things like Rose and Evelyn.

After a while, a middle-aged man walked to the stage. He had the same blonde hair as Song Yu but no other similar features. Even so, Song Yu exclaimed, "Ah, that is my father. The auction is going to start soon."

"Oh." Alex nodded, observing the guy. Unlike Song Yu's cheerful personality, this person only put a strict face without any expression. Except for his power as a 10-Star Martial Emperor, Alex found no other distinctive feature from him. "Is he going to host the auction?"

"Yeah. At first, we are going for the first elder, but seeing the potential of trouble, my father ends up hosting it."

Just as he arrived in the middle of the platform and began turning around to start the auction, the applause echoed. He only waved his hand around without showing any expression before asking them to stop.

After getting the attention of all people, he finally began talking.

"Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen, I am your Host for today, as you might have already known, my name is Song Lei. As the current patriarch of Blackwade Clan, I would like to warn you before we start the auction. I am going to expel anyone that causes a ruckus in this place no matter which influence he/she has." He introduced himself with killing intent.

The participants could not say a single thing, especially if they were not the people inside the VIP room. As for the other influences, they had known the quirk of this patriarch, so they just let this slide.

"There are fifty items in this auction. Unless we have a bid fight, the maximum time for each item would be five minutes. And please note that this is a bidding war, not showing how prestigious your background is, so please refrain from threatening other bidders with your background. If you purposely use it to scare away other bidders, then I will recall the item and make it unsold since the price is unfair.

"I myself will ensure that your information won't be known to others. If any bidders want to pay the items, we have a special room for you and do the transaction simultaneously. Everything in this room will be a secret, so no one would know which items you get.

"You are free to wear a mask or whatever to hide your identity too. If you don't bring a mask, just ask one of our staff around you and ask for a mask. They will give you a mask in random choice.

"One last warning, they are our staffs and protected by us. So, please refrain yourself from treating them like your sex slaves or whatever. It would mean disrespect for our Blackwade Clan. If you can't abide by this rule, then I ask you to go out now." He stopped for a while before nodding his head, seeing no one leave. "Good. Now, I shall start the auction with the first item. Bring it in!"
