Chapter 589 A Wonderful Discovery

Oliver hesitated for a moment when he heard the new bid before making another bid.

“210,000!”

Prince Eric, and Rael Dalton sighed in relief. Since this guy only increased the bid by 10,000 unlike his previous increase of 50,000s, it meant he didn’t have enough funds or wasn’t willing to pay too much for it. No matter which one was true, it was good news for them. However, they also knew some other parties, such as the Arasia and the rest of the top noble families of the Royal capital hadn’t participated yet, meaning the chances were high that this bidding was nowhere near its end.

“250,000!” Rael made another bid.

“300,000!” Prince Eric immediately followed.

Oliver narrowed his eyes, and the corner of his lips lifted up in a sneer, “You want to compete with me?”

He tapped the armrest of his chair and made another bid.

“3000 High Grade Mana stones!”

Boom!

Everyone jolted in their seats. Feeling that they had heard wrongly, they looked toward the auctioneer for the confirmation. The auctioneer was also stunned. She could count the times when someone had made a bid in high grade mana stones on her one hand. Now, however, someone had really made a bid in high grade mana stones?

“S-Sir, can you re-announce your bid?” She asked, looking in the direction of Oliver’s private cabin.

Immediately, the same voice sounded again, this time with a hint of mockery, “I said, I bid 3000 High Grade Mana stones!”

While everyone was stunned, Lily let out a sigh, “As expected, he is here.” Although the person who made the bid could be someone else, Lily could tell he was none other than Oliver.

Prince Eric was also surprised when he heard the bid, but when he heard Lily, his eyes flashed. After thinking for a moment, he asked in an indifferent voice, “Who is here, Miss Lily? The person who you were fleeing from?”

Lily’s expression changed for a brief moment before it returned to normal and she nodded, “Yes.”

Given the state she was in when Eric met her, it wasn’t difficult to understand what was going on with her. Naturally, Eric also understood it but didn’t think much of it at that moment. Lilly was, after all, just a four-star mage. How strong her enemy could be? Five-star, at most king ranked mage? He wasn’t afraid of a single, or even multiple king ranked mages because his Royal family wasn’t weak. They could even repel an emperor ranked mage, let alone king ranked mages. Besides, the chances of her being pursued by multiple king ranked mages, or even a single one, were quite low because if she was really being chased by a king ranked mage, she would most likely be already dead when he found her. Since she was not, it meant her pursuers were too strong.

However, if they managed to track her down to the Green Leaf so soon, they must also know she was under the Royal family’s protection. Despite knowing this, they hadn’t left, what did it mean? It meant they most likely weren’t afraid of his family. Although Eric wanted to establish connection with Ice Sovereign Mountain through her, he didn’t want his family to make an enemy of the person who could disregard even the Ice Sovereign Mountain and chase her down, apparently with ill intentions.

Eric went silent for a moment before asking, “Did you plan to hide in my Royal family, miss Lily?”

Lily didn’t deny it, causing Eric’s expression to sink. A moment later, he took a deep breath and asked, “If you don’t mind me asking, how many people are pursuing you and how strong they are?”

Lily looked at him in surprise. She had expected him to draw a line between them, instead, he was still thinking of helping her.

“You are a good person.” Lily said, before adding, “However, you do not need to trouble yourself. I won’t return to the Royal palace after the auction, and will deal with him myself.”

Eric smiled bitterly and shook his head, “I don’t consider myself as a good person, miss Lily. I’m sure you must have already guessed the reason why I’m trying to help you, and since I’ve already decided, I will try to help you all the way if it’s within my capability.”

Lily thought for a moment and said, “Although he is alone, and is just a five-star mage, even king rank mages will have a hard time defeating him. Besides, once you go against him, you’ll become his enemy, and won’t be able to ally yourself with the Ice Sovereign Mountain because he has a higher status in the mountain than mine. So, it’ll be better if you don’t interfere.”

It was true Lily wanted to use the Royal family, but seeing his willingness to help, and his honesty, she decided against it. She wasn’t such a person, after all.

Eric went silent upon hearing this, then said with an apologetic look on his face, “Since that’s the case, please forgive me, miss Lily. I won’t be able to help you fight him. But if you want, I can secretly send you out of the capital right now.”

“It’s no use. He can still track me down. But thank you for your kind intentions.” Lily said. She then stood up, “Alright, I should leave right now. If I can survive, I’ll be sure to repay your kindness, Crown Prince.”

Eric didn’t try to stop her. After she left the cabin, he relaxed his clenched fists and let out a helpless sigh. Ever since he became aware of things, he had rarely felt this helpless. Right now, he was angry and frustrated, but could only sigh.

After a moment, he muttered, “I hope you survive this danger, miss Lily.” After saying this, he refocused on the ongoing auction.

…

Lily soon left the auction house, and started wandering the market’s streets. She had a calm look on her face, and didn’t look anxious or worried at all.

She had just left the Sterling street when a figure suddenly appeared in front of her.

“It’s you?”

Lily’s expression faltered when she saw the person in front of her. “Y-You are here?”

…

Many representatives of the big powers, who were still waiting for the bidding to reach the last stage to participate, had ugly expressions on their faces. They were ordered to go all out and buy the spells, but could they compete with someone who could casually bid high stage mana stones? It should be known that even though the top powers in the Kingdom also had High Grade mana stones, the amount they had was pitifully low because the Green Leaf kingdom didn’t have any High Grade Mana Vein. All the high grade mana stones they had were from the larger empires, and the organizations from the central plains. Since they didn’t have anything valuable enough they could regularly trade for the high grade mana stones, the amount they could get their hands on was barely enough for their strongest experts to cultivate. So, how could they compete with someone who bid high grade mana stones? They could, of course, continue bidding higher amounts in mid grade mana stones, but that would be too expensive for them, and stretch their budget.

After all, even though the worth of 100 mid grade mana stones was roughly equal to 1 High Grade mana stone, it was only only in theory. In reality, no one would exchange their high grade mana stones at the rate of 100 mid grade per piece. They minimum they would ask for 150 mid grade ones for 1 high grade stone, and depending on the situation, this rate could increase to 200 and sometimes even 250.

Therefore, if they wanted to match the current bid of 3000 high grade mana stones, they needed to bid at least 600,000 mid grade ones, which wasn’t acceptable to them.

Still, after a few moments of silence, someone did make another bid.

“I bid 800,000 mid grade mana stones. If this friend can bid more than that, I’ll accept my defeat and would no longer bid for this defensive spell.”

“Wah!”

The crowd erupted into a loud chatter. They hadn’t expected someone to bid again. 800,000 mid grade mana stones… This amount was more than enough for an ordinary person to reach the peak of four-star or even break through to the five-star realm. However, this much money was being spent on a defensive spell, which you could not freely use since you first needed higher grade fire elemental mana to do so.

Oliver smirked, and casually said, “Alright, I bid 4,000 high grade mana stones. You can back off now.”

Crown Prince Eric, who had made the 800,000 bid, sighed in defeat, and didn’t make any more bid.

In his cabin, Rael also became silent and didn’t increase the bid. The auctioneer confirmed a few times if someone else wanted to increase the bid, but when no one spoke, she banged the hammer thrice and Oliver won the Flame Barrier spell.

Max was lifting Claire in his hands, and was thrusting from below. However, when the auctioneer banged the hammer, he paused and a look of joy flashed in his eyes. 4000 High Grade Mana stones… he could easily breath through to the four-star realm with them.

‘It seems lady luck is on my side.’ He thought before resuming his activity. Right now, having sex was more important not only because he needed to vent his lust, but also because he had made a wonderful discovery… His bloodline was producing the Nascent Energy as he had sex. If he could accumulate enough Nascent energy, converting the three-star mana into four-star wouldn’t be too difficult, and wouldn’t take much time.

While he focused on fucking the ecstatic lady in his arms, the auctioneer made another announcement.

How was the chapter? Any thoughts?
