Ancient Tears BloodLine



From MC's perspective:

When we reached the auction house. The place was heavily guarded. There are a lot of guards monitoring the place.

"Many influential people are going to come," Ernest said with emotion. 

"Don't worry, we will get our spot," I said. 

Then we started walking towards the entrance. The guards who were inspecting everyone paused after seeing our attire. 

Then they let us enter inside without much checking. After walking into the building, we were greeted by a fat middle-aged man.

"Welcome to our auction!"

"Zack Lockwood" 

The middle-aged man said with a smile.

Hearing that both of us were stunned.

I asked, "Who are you?" 

I have never seen him before.

The fat middle-aged man let out an embarrassed smile before replying, "I'm Audrey, manager of this auction house."

"If I knew you were coming, then I would have formally sent the invitation to you," the manager added.

Hearing that I nodded my head in understanding. He is the manager of the auction house. No wonder, he knows about me.

Not only him but maybe all the influential forces around here heard of me. 

"We want to participate in the auction," I said.

Ernest remained silent. But he was relieved that people knew of Zack Lockwood. Which solves many of their troubles.

The manager grinned ear to ear. What could be more attractive than a famous warrior participating in the auction?

If he let out news, even more people would come up. Which will boost the auction's reputation in the end.

The manager wasn't able to contain his inner happiness. Then he immediately guided two of them to the V.I.P seat.

Fortunately, the V.I.P. seats are filled up completely. The auction house always had extra seating arrangements for emergency use.

After walking upstairs, the manager then guided me to the 3rd floor. The rooms on the 3rd floor are isolated and there are barriers to keep privacy. 

Then we entered the 1st room. Chairs, Tables and a luxurious sofa were placed there. 

"Here, this is your area. You guys can enjoy the auction from here," The manager said.

"Thank you," Ernest said with a smile. This was the 1st time for him to have a seat in the V.I.P room. So he was thrilled.

On the other hand, I recalled something. 

"Thank you for the arrangements. Can you give us the auction list?" I asked.

I hope something interesting catches my eye.

The manager nodded his head before sending the digital auction list to us. 

"What else do you need?"

"Can I ask our servants to come here?" The manager asked.

"No need," I immediately denied. It's impossible to trust people here. There may be spies watching our movements.

The manager was disappointed, so he politely left the room.

There is still 15 minutes left before the auction. 

We sat down on our chairs and started to go through the auction list.

I accessed the list on my communication watch. There is a list of items mentioned in the description.

As I began to go through the details. A frown appeared on my face. The items are more or less common. 

It may be a treasure for warriors who are staying on the bottom. But not for me. When I thought the auction items were not that great. A last item caught my attention.

[Bitter Pill - High Grade]

[A powerful pill which can help under the Super Elite stage to improve their physique. The pill is made up of the blood essence of rare monsters.]

After reading the description. I couldn't hide my excitement. The trip was worth it. 

Ernest noticed the smile on Zack's face. Then he also stared at the last auction item. His expression turned weird.

"Zack, you want to buy this item?" Ernest asked.

Hearing that I nodded my head at him.

A shock appeared on Ernest's face.

"Zack, you know that pill was not an ordinary pill. I heard it gives heart-wrenching pain to consumers."

"After going through such pain, only you can gain some strength," Ernest said in a solemn tone.

"The other items looked simple. It's better to buy something than nothing," I replied.

"What about you?" 

"Do you need anything?" I asked. 

Ernest has been following me. It's better to give him something useful.

"Me?" Ernest was shocked before shaking his head in denial.

"I don't want anything," Ernest waved his hand to deny. He didn't have that money to bid. 

Here the auction items will be bid higher. There is no chance for him to buy it. 

On the other hand, I saw through his struggle. How can one miss such a treasure? But there are only a few items that are suitable for the Super Elite Warrior.

After pushing down the thoughts, we started to wait.

Meanwhile,

The seats have started to fill in. Except for the V.I.P the other guests quickly arrived at the venue.

On the other hand, one more team arrived in Viper City. Kane Patric came together with a few of his friends. 

Instead of monster birds, they have used aircraft to come here. 

Shortly after, Kane and his group reached the auction venue. Seeing the group and their attire. The guards quickly let them enter.

They don't want to offend any arrogant young master. 

A hint of disdain flashes in Kane's eyes. Then he quickly walked into the building. The manager Audrey waited for their arrival.

He had sent invitations to many Flame faction warriors. But he didn't expect one of them to come.

"Mr. Kane, nice to meet you," The manager went forward to greet.

Kane didn't respond. Then the manager led him and his friends to the V.I.P room.

Inside the 1st room, both of us stopped talking.

"Another big shot is coming," Ernest said.

I nodded my head. But the next second, both of us widened our eyes in surprise.

"What is he doing here?" Ernest asked.

My eyes flickered. I didn't expect the Flame faction members to arrive. 

Then I saw Ernest seemed to recognize him.

I asked, "Do you know him?" 

"Uh, you don't know?" 

ραndαsnοvεl.cοm "I remember, both of you haven't met yet," Ernest realized.

"His name is Kane Patrick. He is 3rd in rank among the Flame faction. Don't underestimate him, his fire element is mutated."

"They say his fire is hard to extinguish," Ernest said.

"Interesting!" A faint smile appeared on my face. Why do I have this feeling that we will fight sooner?

On the other hand, Kane and his friends were seated in the 2nd room. The manager left to greet other guests. 

"What about the 1st room?"

"Someone else is staying there"

Kane heard his friends' conversation. He frowned. But he soon realized. 

Maybe some elders are seated in the 1st room.

Shortly after, the other V.I.P's came one after another. The guests are business owners. They have one or more running businesses in the city.

The Manager Audrey was full of smiles. All the big shots have arrived. He is hoping that these people will buy the auction item.

A few minutes later,

When all three floors are full. The auction was formally started. 

Two beautiful ladies brought the 1st auction item and placed it on the table before leaving.

A middle-aged man dressed in tuxedo came forward. All the spotlight fell on him.

"Ladies and gentlemen welcome to Viper City's 175th auction."

"I'm your presenter, Billy," The middle-aged man said with a smile.

Then he introduced the 1st auction item. He stepped forward to remove the cover and revealed the item.

"The 1st auction item is a core of the Peak Stage Class-6 Monster," Billy said.

"The core was obtained from the Class-6 Wind Wolf known for its speed. Anyone interested in the bidding can start from 100,000 credit points," He added.

Gasp~

The audience gasped in surprise. The Class-6 Monster Core is comparable to SS-Rank Warriors. 

The SS-Rank Warriors are elders in all major academies. So everyone became excited.

Right after, 

"I bid, 120,000"

"125,000"

.

.

"130.000" 

 The people started to bid one after another. The price is steadily increasing. Seeing that the presenter showed a smile.

1st Room:

"Why are they excited for monster cores?" I muttered to myself.

I thought that the auction list was boring. But these people are excited about the monster core.

Ernest heard the murmuring. So he answered, "Zack, it seems you weren't aware of something."

Hearing that I turned toward him. 

"As academy students, it's easy for us to access Class-5 Monster Zones and above."

"But for outsiders, they have to go through a lot of tedious processes. And they have to pay money for the visit."

"Then only they can enter the monster zone. Whether they are going to succeed in hunting or not. It doesn't matter," Ernest shed some light.

A look of understanding dawned on me. It reminds me of the early days. Where I had spent many days in the monster zone. 

If this is the case, then I can sell my monster cores here. A faint smile appeared on my face.

Meanwhile,

Kane Patrick was annoyed. But he knows that the Yellow Cleansing Flower might come last. So he has to show some patience.
