At this point, everyone realized they weren't experiencing an auditory illusion. Looking over, they saw an average-looking young man with a calm expression raising his number plate. It was clear he was the one who had bid ten million.

Taurus' expression instantly twisted in anger. This man actually wanted to challenge him financially. He was courting death!

However, the thought of spending over ten million on a Rare equipment made him reluctant. He also suspected that the bidder might be a paid actor, and competing could lead to a loss.

Yet, if he backed down, his ego would take a hit. He had enjoyed showing off earlier, but retreating now would make him a laughingstock.

Taurus was caught in a dilemma. If it were S.K.Y., he would have backed off without hesitation. After all, only an incredibly wealthy fool would consider continuing to bid at such a ridiculous price. In his opinion, the sword's value was already inflated at four million. It was utterly absurd for it to reach ten million.

‘I don't recognize this man. I know almost every wealthy heir in Linhnan. He's definitely not one of them,’ S.K.Y. thought, staring at the wealthy young man.

The players present were also confused. None of them recognized this young man.

Players this obscenely wealthy stood out like fireflies in the night. It was strange they hadn't noticed him before. Unless this wealthy player had only recently arrived in the main city.

Looking closely, they noticed his was only Level 10. As expected, this player had just reached Jade City!

In real life, Mylene, watching the broadcast, shouted, her eyelids twitching, "Grandpa, you're wasting so much money!" As a member of [Princess Alliance], she knew this auction house belonged to her sister. That sword had been gathering dust in the Guild because no one wanted it.

"I could buy so many beautiful clothes and tasty food with ten million! You actually spent so much money bidding on an unwanted item. Just tell me if you want it, grandpa!" Mylene wanted to cry but no tears came.

Mylene wasn't the only one who recognized Ronald Tian. Some affluent people watching the auction also recognized him, especially the Martial Artists in the same league.

"This old dog is actually playing the game. And he's shamelessly pretending to be young!" An elderly man near Ronald spoke disdainfully. He thought that assuming a young appearance in the game was as bad as old women pretending to be young girls in online chat rooms.

In the game, Ronald's expression remained calm. He had experienced many things in his long life, so he stayed indifferent despite everyone's attention. ‘Indeed, humans have a limit,’ he thought.

At that moment, he felt a mix of emotions. As a Martial Artist, Ronald had always believed that true strength came from one's physical body. Those who relied on external items were weaklings and cowards. ‘The fist is the only truth,’ he believed.

He maintained this belief when he entered the Novice Village. He fought his way to the main city using his fists. Initially, he thought he could continue his adventures this way.

However, when he went out to level up recently, he encountered a Level 35 Magic Beast and was utterly thrashed. Desperate, he barely escaped by diving underwater.

After that encounter, Old Man Tian finally realized he was playing a game and needed equipment. Returning to the city, he found the auction was starting, so he decided to try his luck.

‘Mylene told me that the early stages of the game are crucial. Spending ten million on this isn't a bad deal,’ he thought.

If Mylene knew what Old Man Tian was thinking, she would definitely smack him awake with her tiny fists. She could have asked her sister for the sword and would definitely get it.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

"Is there any bid higher than ten million?" the auctioneer asked eagerly. She looked at Ronald with the same gaze as Taurus, as if he were a giant golden pig.

The room fell silent. After some thought, Taurus decided to give up. He was targeting the final item, the Epic Equipment. Even if he was ridiculed now, everything would change if he won the final Epic Equipment.

By then, everyone who looked down on him would be proven wrong! The thought made him smirk.

Contrary to his expectations, no one ridiculed him. All the players were impressed by Old Man Tian's bold display. He was truly made of money!

"Ten million going once."

"Ten million…"

Bonk!

Seeing no further bids, the auctioneer quickly swung the small hammer in her hand, sealing the deal.

The natives were so shocked that their eyes widened, and their jaws dropped. They were in disbelief. The idea of a quality piece of equipment selling for ten million was utterly inconceivable and unbelievable.

They initially thought this outsider was a paid actor hired by the auction house, but they were wrong! Ronald left his seat and quickly ascended the stage to claim his item. After the money and goods were exchanged, he swiftly exited the auction house from the backstage. It seemed he wasn't interested in the rest of the auction.

Everyone else felt disappointed, hoping to see him spend even more money. Only Taurus silently sighed in relief. He didn't want another competitor driving up the price of the Epic Equipment.

In the commercial district, Yaeger finally exchanged all the large-denomination banknotes into smaller ones. "A total of two hundred and seventy million, and ten Black Magic Crystals. Thank you for the generous gift."

She looked at the ring on her hand, smiling dazzlingly. "I hope you don't end up vomiting blood out of anger, Viscount Yelu."

Whether it was committing a burglary or using the obese middle-aged man as a decoy, Yaeger had executed her plan perfectly. Even if the other party knew she was responsible, there was nothing they could do. It would be surprising if they didn't vomit blood out of anger.

Meanwhile, in the inner-city district, at Viscount Yelu's residence, Viscount Yelu stared at the utterly ransacked secret chamber, empty enough to starve a rat. His expression was blank, chills running up his spine.

After a moment, his body started trembling. He suddenly opened his mouth and screamed hysterically, "Black-hearted Princess, I will never spare you! I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll definitely kill you!" His horrifying roars echoed through the chamber.

Eventually, Viscount Yelu calmed down. No matter how angry he was, the opportunity wouldn't return to his grasp. He could only reclaim it by killing the Black-hearted Princess.

"Luckily, the Black Magic Crystals are still here. Otherwise, I wouldn't know what to say to Grand Duke Keene." Exhaling deeply, Viscount Yelu walked out of the secret chamber with heavy steps and returned to his room.

Knock Knock Knock!

At that moment, frantic knocking came from outside.

"Who is it?" Viscount Yelu asked, closing the entrance to the secret chamber and turning around.

"Lord Viscount, this is bad. The Black Magic Crystals and the banknotes are gone!"

Hearing this, Viscount Yelu felt as if he had been struck by lightning; his mind went blank. Immediately, his chest tightened.

"Oof!" He finally vomited a mouthful of blood.

Meanwhile, Yaeger returned to the VVIP guest room.
