Chapter 934: Value of a Forsaken Soul
“Who are you?”
Kent expected the lady to panic when his voice entered her head. But to his shock, she maintained her composure and even raised the bid to 4 billion before asking the question.
She knew that if someone was strong enough to break through the formation in the room, then they were worthy of her attention.
“Knowing my name isn’t the main point here. What you should be focused on is how you can walk out of this alive.”
There was another pause, then the lady asked again, “Who are you?”
Kent merely smiled. “I am a nobody who wants the armour that the man bought. At first, I was planning on getting stronger before coming for it, but seeing that he plans on killing you if you win the bid for the Soul Spirit, I figured we could work together and kill two birds with one stone.
I will help you kill him, which will mean the Soul Spirit will be yours without any danger coming from anywhere, and I will get the armour. All things considered, this is the best deal you can ever have.”
She raised the bid to 4.7 billion and then pondered. She had no idea Kent was watching her, so she reflected for a couple of seconds before an evil smile appeared on her face.
“Deal.”
Kent smirked, knowing the lady had already made her choice.
“Let me guess, you plan to use me, then after we take him out, you will backstab me and take the armour for yourself.” Kent transmitted his laughter, causing the lady to frown.
“Also, you shouldn’t smile evilly anymore. It doesn’t look good on your beautiful face.”
With these words, the lady was finally made aware of the kind of person she was dealing with.
Even at her Peak Heavenly Ascension stage of cultivation and with her overpowered martial techniques, she couldn’t see through the formation.
However, somehow Kent managed to see through it and even created a communication channel between them.
This made the lady take a step back and begin to wonder just what was happening. Then she sensed it. Kent had expanded her senses to cover the VIP room of the Dark Elf.
When she saw the murderous look in the man’s eyes, she knew she was indeed in danger.
“Don’t worry about him. Just win the bid, and we will talk. And like I said, I only want the armour. So use the time to make up your mind about what you want. Either way, I am getting the armour, and if you come against me, I won’t hesitate to throw an asteroid at you… and I mean that literally.”
The lady shuddered, but she didn’t make it seem obvious.
Kent, of course, saw it but chose not to dwell on it.
The auction was heated to the point that Kent started to see the killing intent of the Dark Elf clashing with the unyielding aura of the Lightning Human lady.
This was his way of warning the lady about the fate that awaited her if she didn’t back out. However, the lady, who knew the value of this Soul Spirit, was as unyielding as ever.
In no time, the price rose to 7 billion.
However, just when the price reached the 7 billion mark, it was raised to 10 billion by the lady.
Kent saw the reason. The lady was waiting for feedback from someone. Just like everyone else, she had also called home, so when she received the feedback, she went big, and it paid off.
After five whole minutes, nobody was able to bid higher than that.
“The Tier 18 Forsaken Soul Spirit is sold to the distinguished guest in VIP room 16.” The auctioneer announced the winner, and the entire auction house erupted into murmurs.
By now, word had spread far and wide about the appearance of a Tier 18 Forsaken Soul Spirit. Monsters hidden in caves even heard of this, so they all started coming around.
“The auction is now over. But before we all leave, know that there is a chance another Tier 18 Forsaken Soul Spirit will be sold in the Annual Auction just three months from now.
On that note, see you all in three months’ time.”
Everyone started leaving to prepare for the Annual Auction.
Kent linked up with the lady who had won the bid. “Pay for your item, disguise yourself as an ordinary person, and go find a low-key inn to stay in for the night.” Kent’s words sounded more like a command in her ears, causing her to frown.
However, before she could say anything, Kent activated the full coverage of the Soul Map, showing her twenty dangers hidden and waiting for her to leave the auction house.
This caused her body to shudder.
“I am not a magician, but I know the one you are counting on to come to your aid will face some obstacles on the way. So while this is going to be difficult, just follow my advice and hide out for the night.
I will handle my business on this side, and then I will come to you tomorrow. Don’t worry, I will find you even if you hide under a rock.
And before you think I am coming for your precious Soul Spirit, know that I was the one who put it up for auction.”
Kent cut the communication channel, but he continued to observe her. First, she rushed to where she could collect her item. She paid for it and quickly left.
Along the way, she entered a certain room, and after a minute, she came out looking as ordinary as she could.
“At least she is smart, disguising herself as a worker,” Kent smirked, knowing this disguise was good, but he planned to make it better.
He linked up with the two guards outside. “I will give each of you 100 million high-grade spirit stones. All you have to do is act familiar with the lady who will be coming out of the auction house in 3… 2… 1…”
Right when Kent’s countdown hit zero, the lady walked out, and Kent sent out a command, “Do it.”
The Dark Elf was the first to act. “Big sister Luxa, be sure to bring pancakes tomorrow too!”
The Flame Human guard also made his move. With a familiar smile, he spoke, “Yes, big sister Luxa, those pancakes were nice. I really enjoyed them.”
At that moment, Kent’s voice entered the lady’s ear. “Smile and respond to them.”
Though she had no idea what was happening, she forced out a smile and replied to the two guards, “Don’t worry. I will bring double what I usually bring.”
“Thank you, big sister Luxa!”
“Nice one, you two. Wait for me outside. I will be out in under an hour.” They recognised Kent’s voice. It was one of the reasons why they followed his command.
The lady managed to leave the auction house and quickly made her way to a low-quality inn that offered hotel services. She paid for a room and quickly entered.
As soon as she sat down, she began creating restrictions.
Meanwhile, back in the auction house, Lady Wu entered the VIP room where Kent was, a golden smile on her face.
