INFINITE MONEY - I Will Buy Everything

Chapter 199 - 199 - The Auction Starts [ Part 4 ]

"Well then ladies and gents, Before we start the bid for this item, let me tell you a few things about this special item."

"The price of the Dragons Arts scroll, Will start at 250 Million Dollars.

Normally we would increase the bid of item by 1 million but for this specially rare item, the increasement of the bid will be 10 million dollars in each bid."

"So beware before you raise that table number of yours and find out that this item would run you dry."

A few small laughter's and snickers could be heard from the special guests but as always the second floor was still as quiet as the night.

"Alright then, are you ready, you special people for this special item?" Nigel asked and looked at the crowd.

There were some approvals as some heads could be seen coming up and down while most were quiet and were impatient for the bid to start.

Nigel nodded as he tipped his hat and lifted his cane, "Okay then the bid starts… NOW!"

"BANG"

He stomped on the stage with his cane as a bang sound came out and the crowds became ready.

"Well Well, We seem to be in quite the odd predicament." Nigel said as his eyes tuned to a crescent turn.

Carl didn't understand what he meant so he leaned close to Adam and asked, "Pis Pis… Hey what does he mean by that?"

Adam didn't look at him as his eyes were still on the Dragon Arts Scroll that was covered by a transparent glass.

"Look back and you'll see."

Carl had a awkward look on his face as he didn't get what Adam meant by that but still turned to look behind him.

As he looked at the back, his face first morphed into curiosity then into unacceptance and finally it went to bewilderment as his mouth hung open looking at all the people behind him.

What he saw was, a crowd of hands being lifted up with their being a table card in all the hands. But what was truly strange was that not just one but all the people were lifting their table numbers as all of them wanted to buy it.

Carl now understood what Nigel meant but still the scene was a little too shocking for him but he was not the only one as William and his entourage were also shocked.

Delmar had a calculating look on his face as he thought, 'Well this is truly a strange scene but not one that isn't out of the realm of possibilities.'

'All I can say is that, Something like this doesn't happen when the bid for that broken sword comes. But most likely my words won't come true as fate always had a way to bite my large ass.'

While Delmar was thinking about that William had only one thought, 'Did that bunny girls jiggle affect the gravity of the room or was it the gravity of the room that made it like that?'

Coming back to the auction house, Nigel had a calculative look on his face as he seemed to look for a solution that would get him out of this mess.

"Now what to do. We can't get everybody to be looked as the first to bid so what now?"

Nigel's thoughtful stayed for a second before it morphed into a crazy looking smile as he said, "Fear not my special guests, for an outcome like this was something that our auction houses specialists had already thought of.'

Nigel looked into his expensive coat as he brought a green colored monocle and flung it high up in the air before he catches it in a dramatic fashion.

"This is the solution."

The guests didn't understand what he meant by a green monocle. They were expecting something else entirely and what they got not only cease their worries but only brightened them.

"What I have in my hand is the Green Counter 7.0. This is item that lets the wearer see things clearly even from a faraway point with pin point accuracy but its greatest features is not that buy the speed."

"After being upgraded to version 7.0, the Green Counter is said to have a new feature in it. The feature made its stock go crazy as not even one day was spent and all the items were sold."

"Fortunately we were able to procure one from the manufacturing company and even got a little upgrade to it."

"But forget about that let's talk about its new special feature that made its sale go crazy since the Black Duck Event."

"It has a new feature that is to speed up the wearer precision and also increase brain activity and let the wearer be able to see things much more faster than a normal human should."

"With that special feature we may not be able to completely erase the problem but we will be able to see the person who bids first."

"So for this bid it is not only about the money but also about timing of not us but you guests. So those that want to buy this very rare item that may not be seen again for years to come please raise your table number before the person next to you or someone from another distance does it."

"Well only, Do that if you want to buy it otherwise please stay quiet like our friends from Table No. 69."

The moment those words were uttered all the attention diverted from the scroll and were pointed towards Adam and Carl. Adam just felt the attention and shrugged it off while trying to not act suspicious as SOME people might notice him.

Carl though acted like an idiot in some previous situations but in the face of this test he stood with a calm look on his face as he didn't show any hesitation or the panic that he was feeling inside.

William looked at this from the hotel and clicked his tongue in annoyance and said, "We are not doing anything and we are still being targeted like that."

Delmar had another point, "Sometimes not doing anything is a bigger crime than actually doing some harm. We might need to change our strategy on settings like this."

William nodded, "Yeah, But still the guy is pissing me off with that strange attitude of his."

Delmar agreed with him, "You're not the only one that is pissed by that guy, Boss. I'm sure some of the guests on the first floor and most likely almost all the people in the second floor are also with you."

Nigel tipped his hat as he apologized, "I'm sorry if I had offended you, Dear Guest. It was not my intention. I like to jest as often as I could, as life could end without a moment's notice."

Adam nodded with a nonchalant look, "its okay, you don't need to apologize for something like that."

"Ah! Such a generous guest. You sure you don't want to bid to this item, I could give you an advantage if you want." Nigel tones became quiet as he said the last part with a wink.

Adam denied it as he thought, 'Yeah, Like I'm stupid enough to accept that and risk angering all this people who are suddenly looking at me with killing intant.'
