God of Tricksters

"22 Billion!" The middle-aged man looked around before saying, "Going once, going twice, going thrice… sold!"

042 let out a sigh of relief and said, "Well, it seems that I have managed to get the rings for us."

"Yeah, thanks. Though, why did I see a bit of resentment there?" Theo glanced at the VIP Room that fought them for the rings.

"Ehm… I apologize."

"Well, whatever." Theo sighed. "I'm going to prepare for another group to take care of."

It seemed that someone really fancied the ring since that person fought tooth and nail with them. There was a chance that they would come to them to steal the rings.

042 thought that she had been careful enough, but to think that the opponent this time was that desperate, even if she didn't know what to do.

"Anyway, I might need to kill a few people this time instead of running away." Theo narrowed his eyes. He felt a bit uncomfortable since he needed to change his plan.

He thought killing them was unnecessary before, but due to the change, he really needed to kill them.

"Is that so?" Felix nodded with a serious expression. Everyone except 042 actually believed that Theo could kill multiple Mythical Rank Experts after what he showed in that house.

Theo could restrain many Mythical Rank Experts easily, so it wouldn't be that much of a problem for Theo to kill some Mythical Rank Experts. Although they were wondering where Theo got such power, they believed Theo had some means like how he always did.

After another thirty minutes, the main item in this auction had finally appeared.

It was a pure white stone without any blemish on it.

Theo could see that it matched the description and the picture, so this was truly the stone that he needed.

"I'm sure that everyone has been waiting for this item tonight. This is Cholsite Stone, one of the main ingredients if you want to build a powerful artifact. I don't know if you are aware of this, but it's said that the Sword Saint and the Heavenly Emperor have their weapons reinforced by this stone. And even the Fist Saint has used this stone to reinforce his bones.

"Three out of ten strongest people on Earth used this stone to get stronger. So, I don't need to explain more about its power because the real proof is there.

"Without further ado, let's start the auction. The bid starts at 20 billion Zils and every bid can't be less than 1 billion."

When everyone heard the starting price, they became crazy. After all, this item was the most important item in this auction. Outside the three mentioned names, there were many more people among the top one hundred experts that used this material. So, they knew that if they wanted to be as strong as them, they needed this stone.

That was the reason why the Slaughter and the Conqueror fought for this stone.

"21 billion."

"22 billion."

"23 billion."

The people on the lower floor tried their best to raise the bid, hoping to get their hands on this stone. However, the first shout coming from the VIP room shook the entire hall.

"30 billion Zils. Anyone who dares to bet will be the target of our Severing Hunters."

"Idiot, do you think your reputation is worth more than a shit on my boots?" Another VIP room replied while shouting, "35 billion. Unlike him, I'm fighting for the item fair and square. Why don't you just ban this guy?"

"40 billion. You won't be alive past today!"

"45 billion. Let's see whether you have the ability to do it or not."

Their battle was fierce because every bid was five billion. However, no one was happy to see this fight because these two were really ridiculous.

Hence, a deep voice resounded inside the hall, stopping both of them.

"70 billion. If you keep fighting, then just give it to me. A conqueror needs a good weapon to lead his army."

"!!!" It turned out the one that made a move earlier was the Conqueror, the man who was said to be close to the top two hundred people in the world.

However, the bet became even more ridiculous when Theo gave a signal to bid.

"71 billion." This time, the one who announced was the Mythical Rank Expert on the stage, considering the VIP room didn't let out a sound, only giving him the signal about the additional bid.

"What?" The Conqueror widened his eyes and shouted, "75 billion. You dare to get what I want?"

"Who don't dare?" Another person suddenly entered the fray. His high-pitched voice cracked. There was no need for an introduction because his sound was unique. "85 billion."

'It's the Slaughter. As expected, this is going to be a bloody fight.'

Everyone had the same thought.

"90 billion!" Suddenly, a powerful Magic Power burst out, shaking the hall.

"!!!" The shock wave was soon neutralized by the joint effort of everyone, but they could clearly see where it came from.

Yes, the Conqueror couldn't contain his anger this time.

Even though this was an auction, there was no one powerful enough to regulate the auction other than the local auction house. Even though the people still followed the rules of the auction because they didn't want to lose the trust of the auction house, a little fight like this was normal. That was why everyone brought a bodyguard.

People in the VIP rooms often fought against each other when they were bidding.

"It seems that you're overconfident." The Slaughter laughed before creating a blood-red hand that marched toward the Conqueror.

A golden lion suddenly emerged from the room and bit the hands, but the Conqueror obviously didn't have the power called Order.

The moment the lion touched the hand, it turned red and converted into blood.

The hand absorbed it and crashed into the room, causing it to crumble.

"You bastard!" The Conqueror roared but didn't do more because his power wasn't enough against the Slaughter.

"If no one wants to bid anymore, then this stone shall be mine." The Slaughter laughed uncontrollably before a gentle voice stopped his laugh.

"100 billion. This is an auction. You fight with money, not power." Theo was the one speaking this time.

"It seems someone is courting death. In this place, you fight with both power and money. If your elder hasn't taught you that, then I will teach you right now!" The Slaughter formed another blood hand toward Theo's room.

Everyone who looked at this situation could only shake their head helplessly, knowing that the Slaughter was the strongest person in this room. There was no way these people could do anything.
