Chapter 189: Chapter 189: Gathering the Elemental Arrows, a Moral Trap
At this moment, Victor was full of questions.
He was right there in the private room, watching the whole conversation between Aiden and Caleb.
But Aiden already knew what Caleb’s older brother—the emperor of the Elephant Empire—had said. And Victor had no idea how Aiden found that out.
Vespera and Jade, who were also in the private room, turned to look at Aiden. Their faces showed curiosity as well.
“Did Caleb just tell us what his brother said by typing on his phone when he left?” Vespera suddenly thought of a possibility. Her eyes looked surprised.
Aiden nodded and sent the message he had just typed on his phone to the three of them.
“Even between gods, there can be big disagreements.”
That was what Caleb wanted to tell him.
“How did you do that?” Victor looked at the phone screen, then quickly raised his head to look at Aiden.
He never imagined Caleb would leave an important message in such a way.
And Aiden had solved the mystery without thinking much at all.
“It’s simple,” Aiden said casually. “Just remember the order and position of Caleb’s fingers on the screen, then do it again.”
Victor fell silent. Was it really that easy?
He hadn’t even noticed Caleb’s actions, let alone remembered how his fingers moved on the screen.
“Does Aiden always watch everyone so closely?” Victor thought to himself. “If that’s true, he’s really strange.”
He felt like Aiden was being careful, as if he was expecting something unexpected to happen.
“There’s nothing difficult about that,” Aiden said slowly. “The real challenge is figuring out what this message means.”
His brow furrowed as he kept thinking in his mind,
What caused such a big disagreement between the divine powerhouses?
What kind of impact would this disagreement bring?
Could this be the reason why the emperor of the Elephant Empire reported the video crystal to the divine powerhouses but didn’t get a clear reply?
Aiden wasn’t sure. Mainly because he still didn’t have enough information.
But the fact that a genius from the Demon Clan appeared at the front lines of the Elephant Empire wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.
At least, it gave him a chance to try to improve the progress of the Bane of All Races 2·Genius Nightmare mission.
The reward for this mission involved a revival item, and he had to finish it!
“Knock knock!” The doorbell rang again.
This time, it was a staff member from a trade company, bringing back the Water Elemental Arrow that Aiden had just taken a photo of.
As soon as Aiden got the Water Elemental Arrow Skill Book in his hand, he immediately started learning it.
[You have learned Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, five Epic Rank elemental arrows. You can now synthesize a Legendary Rank skill: Elemental Arrow.]
Seeing the message, Aiden took a deep breath and decided to start synthesizing the skill right away in the private room.
But just then, he heard Miles’ voice: “I’ll pay 2 billion, plus four Epic Rank materials!”
The host excitedly shouted, “Bid again, Mr. Miles from room 33! Is there anyone higher than that?”
“If not, this special Epic Rank item will belong to Mr. Miles!”
Aiden heard this and gently shook his head. He walked toward the window of the private room, pressed a button, and said calmly,
“Seven Epic Rank materials.”
Next to him, Victor, Jade, and Iris from the Elephant Empire royal trade company all widened their eyes in shock.
Jade couldn’t help but ask, “Aiden, you just bid like that? And such a high price!”
“We were all focused on the video crystal earlier. We didn’t even notice what was being auctioned. We didn’t see the item information on the big screen.”
Aiden looked at room 33 and answered calmly, “It’s fine. It doesn’t cost that much in materials.”
In room 33, Miles tightly clenched his fists and bit his lip hard. He didn’t even notice that his lip was bleeding.
“Damn it, Aiden. Every time I bid, he just raises the price!”
“Damn it! Low, disgusting….” Miles kept muttering all sorts of bad words.
He only had seven Epic Rank materials and 3 billion.
But Aiden just said a very high price again, so high that Miles wanted to give up once more.
Miles thought in his mind: “No, the global Reclasser exchange competition starts tomorrow. I must turn these materials and money into fighting power.”
“Only then can I greatly increase my chances of killing Aiden in the team match.”
Miles took a few deep breaths and pressed the button again, shouting, “3 billion, and seven Epic Rank materials.”
Now, the auction only had one Epic Rank special potion and an Iron Dragon’s Magic Staff.
He had to bid for something that could increase his strength.
“Aiden, you can’t be so greedy!”
“You and the Great Shaw Empire did a lot of damage to me. I can never forget it! And you already got that Skill Book. This special item should be mine now.”Miles couldn’t help but say.
Aiden laughed. How could Miles even say such words?
This guy was still acting, and it was too ridiculous.
“Give it to you?”
“You’re not awake, are you? This isn’t your dream. If you want this item, just offer a price I can’t keep up with.”
“Do you have no money at all, and yet you’re trying to shame me like this? That’s so ridiculous.” Aiden’s tone was full of open mockery.
He hated moral pressure the most. And Miles wasn’t even the victim here—he was a cheating liar.
If Aiden wanted to, he could let Luke reveal all the truth.
Then everyone would know just how ugly and disgusting Miles really was.
“Moral pressure? That’s what you owe me. That’s what your Great Shaw Empire owes me. You guys attacked me badly back then, and…” Miles said, trying to stir up the Reclassers’ emotions on the spot, hoping to make Aiden back down.
The female host frowned and cut in, “Mr. Miles, this is an auction. Please don’t waste others’ time and energy.”
Then, she turned to Aiden’s private room with a polite smile and asked in a gentle voice,
“Mr. Aiden, would you like to continue bidding?”
Aiden said calmly, “Ten Epic Rank materials.”
“Oh, by the way, no matter how much Miles bids, I will always be one step ahead.”
“If Miles still has the courage and more Epic Rank materials, then he can keep raising the price.”
Finally, Aiden looked at Miles and said,
“Don’t make me look down on you.”
At once, the Reclassers in the auction hall got excited.
They had heard these words before—they were the same ones Miles had said to Aiden at the very beginning.
But now, when Aiden said he would bid ten Epic Rank materials, Miles had no reaction at all.
Now, when Aiden said the same words, it was completely different. He really meant it.
“Hmph, compared like this, Miles is nothing.”
“You’re wrong. In my eyes, Miles is now just a clown in a circus. Every word he says and every move he makes is ridiculous.”
“Hahaha, you described it perfectly.”
“What do you think? Will Miles keep bidding?”
“I don’t think so. Aiden’s bid is so high, Miles definitely can’t keep up.”
“That’s true. There are only two items left. He probably won’t get anything else.”
“Yeah, after this auction ends, he’ll have only bought one item—and even that cost him several hundred million more than it was worth! It’s so funny.”
Aiden listened to the comments in the hall and looked at Miles, whose face was pale with anger. He felt the time was right.
He said slowly, “Why aren’t you bidding anymore? Here’s an idea—ask me, and I’ll lend you some Epic Rank materials.”
“You like to act, right? Or maybe you can act like a clown. If you make me happy, I’ll even give you some Epic Rank materials for free.”
Bzzz!
Miles heard this and suddenly felt a ringing in his ears.
Insult!
A clear and open insult!
Miles was furious. His whole body shook, and his chest rose and fell quickly.
He had never been humiliated like this, especially in front of so many people.
The people at the auction came from all over the world. Soon, what happened here would spread online.
Everyone would know that he had been humiliated by Aiden, and had no way to fight back.
“Captain, maybe we should just give up. We really….” A competitor from The Azurecloud Empire tried to stop him.
Miles roared, “Shut up!”
“This is too much! It’s really too much!”
“He said he would always bid one more Epic Rank material than me, right? Then I’ll keep bidding, and make him spend even more!”
As soon as he finished speaking, his teammate’s face turned pale. They immediately tried to stop Miles from bidding again.
They weren’t that angry. They knew that if they couldn’t pay, they would be kicked out of the auction and have to pay a big fine. That would be even more embarrassing!
But before they could act, Miles had already pressed the button and shouted:
“Aiden, don’t be so arrogant! I bid 14 Epic Rank materials!”
“Come on, you said you had more, right?”
