"6 million."

"6.5 million."

"6.51 million."

The bids kept increasing and the atmosphere in the hall started turning rowdy. People started placing bets on who was going to leave the bidding competition first as they had nothing else to do.

Many of the high-ranking guild leaders stopped betting when they thought the price was not something they would be willing to spend on something they didn't even know about.

In the local audience, people secretly cheered for the people they bet on only to find them stop betting.

In the end, only four compartments kept betting, other than that, everyone didn't think that the item was worth it.

Out of the four compartments, two of them were compartments number one and two which belong to Argon and Alex's group respectively.

Of the remaining two members, one was a lady and from her voice alone people could tell that she was the strict type, her voice had that sharpness in it.

The last one was the man who used mana to amplify his voice when he first betted on the Starshard. He had a deep voice and he seemed to be an arrogant musclehead who only thinks about fighting.

"50 million!"

The musclehead spoke loudly.

He didn't even know what he was betting, he just entered because he saw many people betting on the same item. Even when the price reached 50 million, he still didn't want to back down which was the advice his secretary has been giving him continuously.

He didn't want to lose against Argon again.

"50.5 million," Argon spoke after a second, causing the musclehead to clench his fist, but before he could speak again, another voice was heard.

"200 million." Just as the voice fell, the hall became quiet. Even the sound of a person's breathing could be heard, but the next second everyone broke into fervent discussion.

The one who voiced out the bet was Alice, and she did it after discussing it with Ann and Alex.

They had been quiet for a while, which made people think that they had stepped down, but who would have thought that they were just preparing for a bigger surprise?

"300 million." Argon's voice was heard again, however, if someone were to notice it, they would hear frustration in it.

Argon was not getting frustrated, he came here to buy the Incomplete mana core which was put in the auction, and he knew if he used his money here then there was a chance that he might lose the incomplete mana core.

Even if he was the emperor, he couldn't just empty the treasury for his personal use. But he didn't want that item to fall into Alex's hands.

He still remembers how renowned the sword that Alex crafted was in the past timeline, it was said to be the best sword you could find in this world.

He knew that he wouldn't be able to use the metal, after all, he was not a blacksmith, and neither was someone in his empire capable enough to make something out of that metal.

He just didn't want Alex to get stronger just because he wasn't able to gather money for the betting.

He didn't know why but he had been getting more frustrated these days. It all started after the time Gaia trembled a little. For some reason he felt scared at that moment, he felt as if he should move, because he could feel someone's presence.

He also knew that this 'someone' was not to be messed with, which meant he had to bow his head in front of that said entity.

This was something he didn't want to do in this life, and he had a feeling that if he continued walking the path he was walking he was not going to have a good end.

But it was not going to put out his flame of revenge, he just couldn't forget the smirk on Alex's face when he killed all of the people he cared for as if they were nothing but beasts.

As he remembered the memories he wanted to forget the most, he unknowingly clenched his fists so hard that they started bleeding.

Aurora looked at Argon with a hint of pity in her eyes as even though she didn't like him, she knew his past life was miserable and his ending was worse. But she didn't console him, she did not think of him as a friend or anyone close to her that she would want to console.

"400 million."

Alice's voice was heard again.

The other lady had yet to bid and by the way, she was silent for a while it seemed like she had stepped back, the musclehead, however, was fuming.

After he had lost to Argon in a fight, he had started seeing him as an obstacle he needed to cross to become stronger and he had been doing whatever he could to become stronger.

That was also the reason why he decided to buy the incomplete mana core, just to make himself stronger, which was no great reason as other people here would use the unique mana core to study more about mana core or maybe try to mass produce it.

For him, however, growing stronger was the most important thing.

So, when he was defeated in betting by Alice whom he didn't even consider his rival, his anger soured.

The next second his magical energy started going violent and then....

*Boom**Clatter*

His mana burst forth, breaking the glass covering his compartment, showing everyone his visage filled with anger.

He was a man with brown hair and almond eyes. His hair was not in any particularly designed cut they were just left as it were, while his beard was clean-shaved.

His looks were good, and he could easily attract any girl with that muscular body of his which would put even the professional bodybuilders to shame.

He had a large body with defined muscles, his height was around 2 meters. He was wearing a casual loose t-shirt along with a three-fourth-sized pant that reached just below his knees.

Right now, his face was red with anger and in a fit of anger, he directed all of his mana pressure towards Alice's compartment.

He forgot that there was a rule in the auction house stating that the use of power inside the Auction building was prohibited.

His secretary who was supposed to stop him from doing this was trying her best to voice out, but by the time she got her voice back, it was already too late.

She was unable to speak for a while as she had crashed onto the wall when the musclehead burst his mana which was not intentional. If he knew this had happened then he would be caring for her right now, after all, they were both lovers as well.

The next second, however, something unexpected happened.

Another overpowering mana pressure burst from Alice's compartment, the pressure was so strong that the musclehead's pressure was crushed like it was nothing.

Many people in the room could feel it, including Argon and Luna as well.

But the general audience or the low-ranking raider didn't feel anything, they just looked at the scene in wonder as one of the strongest raiders in the world was bought on his knees by that overpowering pressure.

Luna could see what was happening and she had the power to stop this with just a single word, but she didn't.

Why would she? The Crimson Lotus guild was already in the Association's bad books, there was no need for her to defend them.

But she never expected a situation like this to arrive, neither did Argon and Aurora as they were equally shocked.

They could feel Alex's mana and they could tell that it was stronger than Argon's which shocked them.

It was just then that everyone heard a calm and clear voice coming from compartment number two which was not the same female voice they heard till now, instead, it was a male voice.

"If no one is going to raise the bid then can you just finalize the bid?"
