The reason why he was curious about how it was appraised was obvious. If his Intermediate Appraisal Skill can't, it means that other Appraiser who successfully identified it used a Tier 4 Mana Art or perhaps a Mystic Eye.

If that's the case, he at least wanted to broaden his horizon and learn what kind of Mana Art could beat his system.

"It involves your secret? No wonder you're the manager of this branch…" Vincent commented and gave her genuine praise.

"Well, it was difficult. But Sir Luc here can surely appraise it in a matter of seconds." Therese said as she praised the man not too far from them.

Luc Diederich heard her praise but he only smiled while watching the bidding gets heated. Since he holds the title of the Number 1 Appraiser of Bone City, his skills can't be questioned at all.

As the Unknown Rank Obsidian Doomblade's price started increasing steadily, Count Miller finally decided to join the bidding war.

Since he didn't bid for the Shadow Urn a while ago and only purchased the Illusion Blade so far, he still has plenty of money he could use.

Of course, no one commented about him joining the bidding war. Since this is the Guardian's Auction House that is under the Royal Family, your authority as a noble won't work here, and the most capable one will be getting the item.

"10 million." Count Miller said after realizing that these people were still trying to fight over him.

He's confident that with this price, no one would be able to stop him from getting the Obsidian Doomblade.

However, someone from the crowd suddenly raised the bid!

"10.5 million gold and 100 platinum coins."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Auction Hall turned their gaze to this person.

His face couldn't be seen as he was wearing a hood and even covered half of his face with a mask.

No one can recognize him with his voice as well.

Nevertheless, he seemed to be accompanied by three escorts wearing white cloaks and masks.

Old Man Cairo heard the bid but he did not immediately recognize the bid as he turned to look behind the stage.

He doesn't own the sword being auctioned after all. The owner may not be fond of the Platinum Coins so he has to consult this.

As soon as he saw the approving gesture of the owner hidden in the crowd, he immediately confirmed and acknowledge the bid! Anyway, they will take a 5% fee for this and it would be a lot better for the Auction House if they can also earn some platinum coins!

"Haha! A hundred platinum coins?! Very well, let's do it like that… 10.5 million and 300 platinum coins!"

Count Miller from the VIP room laughed as he made his bid.

Vincent was confused at the sudden change of currency as he whispered to Therese.

"Manager, what's with the Platinum Coins?" He asked.

Although he heard about it from his grandfather, he's still unaware of how valuable it is considering hundreds of these are being offered right now. His grandfather's previous explanation doesn't seem to be that accurate now.

"Oh? Right, I'm sure you haven't encountered a Platinum Coin yet… This coin isn't just made of platinum but also a type of metal unknown to us. It is also connected with the Celestial Beings that's why they are extremely valuable. It was even rumored that this is the currency that the Celestials were using before, unfortunately, it wasn't proven yet as the Celestial Beings refused to answer such questions…" Therese answered.

Vincent can only nod at this as he watched the bidding war continue.

***

Soon, the price of the final item reached 13 million including 800 platinum coins.

As soon as it reached this much, the Count already stopped bidding as he looked at the mysterious person from his VIP room.

Ha~

Count Miller sighed.

No matter how rich he is, he still has his own limits. He wouldn't stoop so low to spend the treasury meant to be used for his territory.

The money he's been using right now is not from the tax of his people but from his family's business after all.

If a huge amount suddenly disappeared from his hands, his business might suffer a huge setback.

However, as the Count looks at the mysterious person, he felt that it's not good to sell the high-level item to him.

,m It may not bring harm to him but perhaps, if the sword found an evil owner, it would bring harm to the populace.

"Father… Are we going to give the sword to that person? What if he's a criminal?"

"That's right… Can we ask him to remove his mask and hood?"

Count Miller's two sons asked in worry. They were both younger than Yvette as they were only 13 and 15 years old.

If they somehow learned that the reason why this mysterious person is hiding his face was due to him being a criminal, then it would surely be a lot easier for them to take the mysterious sword made of Adamantite.

Of course, the Count already thought of this but he didn't dare to act on it.

"This auction house has its own rules and even I can't change it. You all know who's behind this place, right?" The Count helplessly said as he looked at the host below who was grinning from ear to ear.

The price has already reached sky high and ending it here is already acceptable for them.

"13 million gold and 800 platinum coins! Going once! Going twice! Sold!"

As soon as the bidding ended, the crowd couldn't help but sigh in admiration as the amount reached something that they could never even get in their lifetime.

Many of them won't even dare to obtain a single piece of Platinum Coin as it's too hot in the eyes of a thief.

Old Man Cairo then announced that there will be a simple auction of a few Unique Weapons and a couple of Mana Arts Manual next week and invited the people to visit again.

The people then left the Auction Hall one by one while the winners were assisted by the Auction House's employees to claim their items and make their payments.

However, the Count together with his entourage left in hurry!

Only one of his servants stayed in the Auction Hall to complete the process of acquiring the Illusion Blade he successfully won.

Many people were confused about this but their confusion was soon cleared up as one of the people present shouted what he just found out.

"The Count's Villa was attacked!"
