Chapter 436 Auction trap (13)
When they heard this, the crowd revealed shocked looks before looking up at us.
Or rather, they were looking at the eldest prince since I was just sitting there without reacting.
No one would have thought that the eldest prince would actually ask for a favour like this.
After all, it was the eldest prince…
There were few people that would have the same power as him in this kingdom, but there was someone that was strong enough that would make him ask for a favour.
Just who was this person?
As for those that recognized me, they couldn't help revealing strange looks.
After all, not a single one of them thought that I would be this powerful enough to make the eldest prince act this way.
Even Shaka couldn't help looking at me with a strange look when he saw that I wasn't doing anything.
There was a long silence that hung in the air as the eldest prince waited for a reaction.
Though he had a calm look on his face, it was clear by the slight twitch of his lip that there was something happening beneath the surface. However, that couldn't be blamed on him since that was just who he was.
He was the eldest prince of this kingdom, the one who was only below a few people.
He was not someone that was supposed to lower his face and yet when he did, he was being ignored like this by someone that he thought was beneath him. It was just too bad that he couldn't directly do anything to this person that he thought was beneath him, or else he wouldn't be acting this way.
So after a bit of silence, the eldest prince said, "Then since I have Brother Zwein's silent agreement, I'll be taking this item."
It had been my bid during this time, but the auctioneer was so shocked that he hadn't said a single thing. He had just been waiting for the eldest prince's reaction since he knew that the eldest prince wasn't someone that he could afford.
After the eldest prince said this, everyone let out a sigh of relief.
It seemed that the person in the other VVIP room was still reasonable.
He knew that there was nothing to gain from offending the eldest prince like this, so he was taking a step back with his silent acquiescence.
The eldest prince turned back to the auctioneer and said, "Three hundred and two thousand gold coins."
This time, he didn't jump up another hundred thousand gold coins.
Even for the eldest prince, this price was already a bit high and he wasn't willing to spend more money than he had to. So he didn't push it up any higher than he needed to.
The auctioneer immediately let out a sigh of relief and was about to answer in kind.
But then…
"Three hundred and three thousand gold coins."
Everyone took a cold breath when they heard this.
This time, not a single one of them dared to look up since they could feel the rage that was coming from the eldest prince. Even if they didn't see his face, they could feel the rage that was coming from his direction.
So no one dared to look up at him out of fear of attracting his attention.
The eldest prince's face was really ugly to look at at this moment.
It was completely scrunched up with rage as he looked in my direction, but I completely ignored him.
After another silence, the eldest prince said, "Brother Zwein, didn't you already agree to let me have this item? What is the meaning of this?"
There was a dark tone that appeared in his voice in the latter half of his words.
This time, I didn't keep my silence.
"That's just your own foolish delusions, when did I ever say that?"
My voice wasn't loud or soft, but it rang out clearly through the auction hall.
The previous good feelings that everyone had for me had completely disappeared as all of them started to curse at me in their minds.
"Who is this crazy idiot? Why would he provoke the eldest prince like this!? Didn't he know that this was just taunting a bull with a red cape?!"
All of them kept their heads down and not a single one of them dared to look up out of fear of being caught up in this.
Even the auctioneer couldn't help taking a few steps back as if he was afraid of getting caught up in this.
The eldest prince looked like he wanted to eat me alive, but I just ignored it all.
Shaka also looked at me like I had gone crazy, but I ignored him as well.
Finally, the eldest prince took a deep breath and said, "Do you really mean this? Are you sure you understand what you're saying right now?"
I just gave a yawn before saying, "Can you hurry up and call it already? I still have other things to do."
A synchronized cold breath passed through the crowd the moment that everyone heard this.
They all felt like they had been thrown into a cooler with the chill that hit them.
This man wasn't just crazy, he was absolutely nuts!
He was ignoring the eldest prince now even though the eldest prince was directly talking to…or rather directly threatening him.
Where did such a person come from where he didn't care at all about any of this?
The eldest prince's expression looked like he had eaten a bucket of shit when he heard this before he slammed his fist down and roared, "You son of a b****, do you really think that you're special just because of a lucky break? You're nothing more than…"
From afar, there were a pair of eyes that watched all of this with an interested look.
