Chapter 888




"Absolutely not! There's no way in this world that will happen…"

The manager's mind was rattling like drums . "Ahem, wealthy young master — this suggestion of your is a little too harsh, don't you think? We have our families to feed too… if this truly went your way, not only will we not be able to afford soup, we'll even need to cover the costs of the firewood to cook it as well — how can such logic exist in the world?"

"Then how should we go about it?"

"The Ethereal Amethysts you offered are definitely legitimate items, but making an exception of only getting a five percent commission is already the limit! As for making it up with an extra hundred top-grade spiritual jade and stuff, well…" The man in charge fumbled with his words .

"Impossible! I'll lose too much from a deal like that! We're talking about Ethereal Amethysts here! A top-grade mystical item that rarely makes an appearance in the world! Aren't you aware of how big a ruckus this would cause when it surfaces in the market? The Ethereal Amethysts produced by that idiot the other day had already led to so many lives being lost; while this piece of ours doesn't come with any form of karmic repercussions at all — are you truly blind to this ultimate deal presented before you?"

"Wealthy young master, you said so yourself that you're from an aristocratic lineage of a five-thousand-year legacy — where are the magnanimous bearings of such aristocracy? Give us a little leeway, would you? An auction house that doesn't make money but loses money instead? That has never been heard before — it would totally destroy the rules and spoil the market of the trade!"

" . . . Fine . Well, I didn't ask to be born in an aristocratic family of a five-thousand-year legacy, but I'll give way to make things simpler . You lot discuss amongst yourselves — I've already stepped back, so I couldn't possibly swallow any more losses . "

"Fine, fine, fine . Let's just settle at one percent . This is truly the lowest we can accept — if you want any lower, please seek out someone else, young master . "

"One percent it is, then . You could've told me that from the start, couldn't you? We would've been done with this sooner than this . Deal!"

" . . . "

One percent . That was… ten percent of ten percent .



That's one out of a hundred!

That was extremely little .

The auctioneer realized that he had fallen for the trap . This chap here had no intention of negotiating at all — he was simply waiting for this entire farce to play itself out . However, the words had already left his lips, and especially since that he had taken the initiative to name his price, he could not possibly take back his words now .

"Pray tell, how many of these Ethereal Amethysts do you have, O wealthy young master? Perhaps you can provide me a realistic amount so that my side can organize them accordingly?" The auctioneer grew more and more dissatisfied the more he thought about it . If he was going to pay such a high price only to know that the man had only one piece of Ethereal Amethyst on him, that would really be a big bill to pay at the end of it all .


"You all know how precious Ethereal Amethysts are, don't you? How would I dare to carry so many of them on me? I only have three pieces right now . " Qian Duoduo sighed . "Of course, I don't just have only three of it . I have many more at home . It's just a little inconvenient to show them now . "

"Oh…"

The few men made a few quick calculations in their heads .

Even if there's only three, that's not too little .

Furthermore, he has more than three pieces, there's more at home…

Those words had a very deep and lasting effect . What sort of family would have such underlying wealth? And how much exactly have they declined? To the point where they had to procure Ethereal Amethysts in exchange for other resources needed to survive?



No matter what it was, clans who own even a piece of Ethereal Amethysts were still untouchable to the likes of commoners, regardless of how much they had declined from their days of glory… there was nothing more to doubt about this .

Furthermore, from what was revealed from the conversation before, this clan had most likely already squandered most of their wealth away . However, how many more pinnacle experts did they have within their ranks? This was not something they could lightly assess…

"How much more time would you need before you can start to auction the items? I need an exact time . "

"Naturally, we would need to prepare the necessities for the auction, release the news and then confirm the time . This entire process would take… at least a month or so . Only then we are able to entice the big guns to show up…"


"A month's time preparation is too long, where do I even find the time to idle here for such a long time? It matters not, just give me fifty million low-grade spiritual jade pieces first . After the auction, just subtract that off from the total amount . "

"What're you looking at? I'm here to make a deal on the Ethereal Amethysts, so I would naturally want to get the money as fast as possible . That would be a good reason for me to convince the family to obtain a few more Ethereal Amethysts for your auction, or else more time would be wasted, and more delays would occur . " The little fatty said in a matter-of-fact tone .

The auctioneer initially disagreed, but as soon as he heard the last part of the sentence, his eyes lit up instantly .

The price of three pieces of Ethereal Amethysts was at the very least more than a hundred million pieces of low-grade spiritual jade .

If he leaves with fifty million first… that's wouldn't be too bad after all .

"Alright!"

After receiving the payment, the little fatty accepted the contract bounded by heavenly laws as he calmly said, "Have you fellows prepared a backdoor to get me out of this? You don't plan on revealing the contents of this deal earlier than expected, do you?"

That request sounded like it made some sense . It was a pretty huge deal after all — being a bodyguard as a complimentary after-service would serve as an investment into potential dealings in the future .

The little fatty left calmly, bringing nothing else with him but a legion of low-grade items in exchange for three pieces of Ethereal Amethysts . in exchange

The men of the auction house glanced at each other after the deal was done .

It was an unreal experience for those who came across the three pieces of Ethereal Amethysts settled on the table before them, pulsing incessantly with Purple Qi . These were Ethereal Amethysts that had not appeared in the realm for over a thousand years — and now there were three of them before their very eyes!

"Quickly, send them into the secure cell! Look after it with extra security!"

"Send out the news this very instant!"

"Keep an eye on this wealthy young master's every move . Don't act rashly . Follow-up accordingly . "

"Spread this news for a good fifteen days, then, on the twentieth day, we'll start the first phase of the auction . The Ethereal Amethysts would be the main attraction to be auctioned!"

"Roger that!"

About two hours later, the person who had been sent by Qian Duoduo off had returned, his face etched with fear .

"Boss, I've lost him . "

"Pardon?"

"Once he left, that little brat snuck into a green building and had a meal accompanied by three young maidens… which was followed by a round of hanky-panky . He's even more hedonistic than the dandiest man in the world…"

"We waited outside, and… in the end, only the three ladies appeared when the door opened . We made our way in and realized that this wealthy young master was nowhere to be seen…"

"This…"

"This humble one deserves death . "

A few handlers of the auction trade lapsed into silence as they stared at each other . Moments later, the head sighed . "I can't blame you for this matter . Think about it — would a descendant of an ancient clan with a thousand-year lineage have no power to protect himself? Whatever — we've struck a huge bargain on this deal for our side . There's no need to complicate the matter with new problems . "

"Yes . "

"Boss, do you think that that brat was one half of that pair from the other day?"

"Hoho… you think too much . To us, even if those two pay us a visit, they're considered clients . "

"Yes . "

"Now, the Ethereal Amethysts of those two fellows… have nothing to do with us, understand? They were from a ruined aristocratic family, understand?"

"Understood!"
