Reincarnated as the Demon King's Son-Novel

“4,000 Gold coins!”

“4,100 Gold coins!”

“4,200 Gold coins!”

Mary looked at Aldred and whispered. “Should we buy this armor?”

“Do we have enough money?”

“An enslaved giant velobra is almost never seen before, and it’s very powerful too. I am sure Nicky will be bid at high prices.”

Suddenly, the man beside them placed their bid.

“Oh, the VIP section bid for the first time! 5,000 Gold coins!”

Mary took a deep breath. That was 83 years worth of labor. The concept of money worked differently for rich people. If someone told her they would spend 5,000 gold coins on armor, she wouldn’t believe it even if it killed her.

“Should I bid?” Aldred asked.

Mary hesitated. “No. Let’s just wait. I don’t think this armor is worth 5,000 gold coins.”_-.

The man beside them sneered. “Apparently, you are just a bunch of peasants.” He didn’t even try to lower his voice.

Aldred frowned. Mary and he were talking in low voices, yet this man could hear what they said.

“Going once! Going twice! Sold!”

Henry snorted. “Bunch of peasants!”

The man reminded Aldred of those arrogant young masters in cultivation s. He was very typical. Insulting everything and everyone he saw. Aldred didn’t do anything, in fact, he didn’t even say anything, yet the man still insulted them. He couldn’t even be mad anymore. Instead, he pitied the man who hadn’t grown up yet.

Another beautiful lady pushed a different cart and revealed a pair of powerful gauntlets.

“For our second item, we have something special for the mountain climber. It’s the Grip Gauntlet. To climb the mountain you need to have a firm grip, and this gauntlet makes sure you keep hanging. The item starts at 500 gold coins!”

“That doesn’t sound very useful,” Aldred whispered. “We can use iron spears to climb the mountain.”

Bartrem agreed with that. He had prepared giant nails for the soldiers. They could use those tools to climb the mountains.

The other seemed to have the same opinion as them. The item was only sold for 600 gold coins.

“I know the second item is not very thrilling! But look at what we have here!”

The beautiful lady pulled the cloth, revealing a transparent glowing chain.

“This is Light Formless Chain. You might be wondering what it’s for. With this chain, you can wrap it around your allies, and when they fall, the chain will catch them. So, as long as not everyone is falling at once, you don’t have to be afraid to fall. Unlike ordinary chains, this one doesn’t disrupt your movement, and won’t become tangled up. The length of the chain can also be controlled as you will it. This is the perfect item for those who brought a large group of people.”

“Quickly tell us the price!”

“Haha. It seems you couldn’t wait anymore. This item starts at 5,000 Gold coins!”

“We have to buy it,” Aldred said. “We have a lot of people with us. This item will be very useful.”

“6,000 Gold coins!”

“7,000 Gold coins!”

“8,000 Gold coins!”

Bartrem gritted his teeth. “Buy it.”

Mary bit her lips. “Buy it. I am sure the giant velobra can cover the cost.”

Aldred raised his sign and wrote the numbers.

“Oof, what do we have here? 10,000 Gold coins!”

Henry glanced at Aldred and snorted. He raised his sign.

“A phenomenal move! 15,000 Gold coins!”

Mary almost lost her breath. “Do it, Aldred. Do whatever it takes to get the item.”

Even Aldred started to have some anxiety after looking at Bartrem and Mary.

“17,000 Gold coins! Come now, folks! Buy this chain and you won’t lose a friend.”

“18,000 Gold coins!”

“19,000 Gold coins!”

Henry glared at Aldred. “You cannot outbid me. I might not bring enough of those filthy gold coins, but I auction something called Lashing Shoes that let the wearer walk on vertical surfaces. People will bid high for that item. I cannot tell you who I am, but even the manager trusted me so much that he didn’t even inspect my items before receiving them.”

Aldred looked at the man weirdly. ‘Is this guy trying to flex his status on me?’ He looked at the stage, ignoring the man. No wonder the auction told people to hide their appearance. This status flexing activity must be a common occurrence.

“Cih!” He raised his sign to increase the bid.

“23,000 Gold coins!”

Aldred put his bid.

“25,000 Gold coins!”

Henry clicked his tongue. ‘This bastard dares to outbid me? If I could show my status, he wouldn’t be so bold.’ He raised his sign.

“26,000 Gold coins!”

Aldred raised his sign again.

“28,000 Gold coins!”

Bartrem and Mary were currently breathing profusely like they were in a sprint. If they were to use their regular salary to pay that amount of money, it would take them 466 years. More than four centuries! They were trembling hard right now. If the velobra failed to pay their debt… they’d be slaves for the rest of their lives.

Henry was angered. He stood up and opened his mask. “I am Henry, the one and only heir of Anzalatti! I forbid you to obtain this item!”

The auction halted. Everyone was silent. Someone with a tall stature with a black suit and a mask approached him calmly. “For violating the rules of this auction, you are not allowed to bid for this item. If you do not agree, please leave this hall. This is a warning and a punishment, you are not allowed to reveal your identity again on the next item.”

Henry glared at Aldred before wearing his mask again.

The lady on the stage cleared her throat. “Do not worry folks, your identity is safe as long as you wear your mask and robe. Please bid for the items without worry. Before you leave this place, we will cast mass illusion spells so nobody knows who is who.”

The audience was assured by her word, but they still did not bid for the item. To be honest, most of them were fully prepared before they came to this place. They were not dumb. They went to this place to take a look at whether or not they could obtain something more useful.

Under his breath, Aldred muttered. “Honorless Warrior.”

Henry frowned and stared at him. “How did you know that?”

“Sir, please be quiet and sit down,” the guard said.
