Starting With 3 S-Class Talents

Chapter 580: The Auction Began

Hans looked at the fierce old man in front of him, and his pupils contracted. He said nervously, “Mr. Randall, what brings you here? Today is just a very ordinary auction. I didn’t expect to see you here. This is the glory of our Star Race!”

The old creature named Randall looked at Hans with a serious expression. Everyone in the auction hall held their breaths, not daring to make a single sound.

This was because Randall’s aura was too terrifying!

Randall said with a gloomy face, “I heard that a distinguished guest has come to your auction house. I came because of my reputation, and I want to pay him a visit in person!”

Hans quickly explained, “Mr. Randall, you are the most distinguished guest in our auction house today. Other than you, all the other guests are not worth mentioning!”

He naturally knew that Randall’s real purpose for this trip was to find Vincent, but Hans would never reveal Vincent’s information to him.

This was because Randall was the Frost Dragon at the Inn!

However, unlike other dragons, Randall usually did not appear in the form of a dragon. Instead, he transformed into a rather unique figure.

Hans looked at Randall nervously. He suddenly realized that Randall’s appearance was very similar to Vincent’s. Perhaps Vincent had established some sort of relationship with the dragons. Maybe that was why he was able to successfully steal the dragon egg.

However, in order to give the Star Race a chance to get the dragon egg, Hans had to cover up Vincent’s whereabouts. He could not let anyone know that he was in the auction house.

Even if the price of deceiving a dragon was very high, Hans could only take the risk and try his best to get rid of Randall.

Randall snorted and said, “In that case, I will stay here and participate in today’s auction. At the same time, I want to see those treasures that belong to the Star Race!”

With that, Randall turned around and walked to the VIP area under the auction stage. He sat alone in a booth that had a luxurious sofa.

Hans had no choice but to clench his teeth and say to his subordinate beside him, “The auction will continue! Just pretend nothing happened! Also, please gather all the experts to guard the third floor. No one is allowed to go near the VIP Lounge!”

“Yes!”

After receiving Hans’s orders, the members of the Star Race turned around and left. They began to arrange for the buyers to take their seats.

Soon, an auctioneer walked up to the auction stage and bowed to everyone. He said with a smile, “Thank you all for coming to the Star Race’s auction. Today, because of Mr. Randall’s arrival, we have specially brought out a few of our most valuable treasures. We will make this trip worthwhile for everyone! Next, I would like to introduce the first item for auction, a Black Tortoise’s heart!”

Following the auctioneer’s introduction, a dark green heart that was as tall as a person was pushed up on stage.

Although the heart had long left its original body, it was still beating vigorously. It did not look like it had decayed or rotted in the slightest.

“As everyone knows, the Black Tortoise Race live an extremely long life, and their heart contains almost all of their life force. The life force in this complete Black Tortoise’s heart has yet to be developed. Anyone who obtains it will live an extremely long life. Even someone who is about to die can rely on this heart to survive for countless years! It is a holy item for cultivation, healing, and life extension! The starting price of this item is two million red crystals. Those who are interested can start bidding!”

After the auctioneer introduced the Black Tortoise’s heart to everyone, he started the bidding process.

Given the benefits of the Black Tortoise’s heart such as its long lifespan and endless vitality, every race could not help but be interested in it. Therefore, everyone’s excitement increased in an instant.

“I bid two million red crystals!”

“Three million! I must get this Black Tortoise’s heart today!”

“I bid four million. Let’s see who can bid higher than me!”

After an intense bidding session, the price of the Black Tortoise’s heart instantly increased by several times. However, the enthusiasm of the crowd did not decrease. Many creatures were determined to get the item. They would not back down on it so easily.

In the VIP Lounge on the third floor, Vincent was watching the auction below with a satisfied look on his face when he suddenly heard Justin’s voice.

“You must bid for this Black Tortoise’s heart!”

Vincent scratched his chin gently. He smiled and asked, “The old creature named Randall below is very likely to be a dragon living at the Inn. If I suddenly participate in the auction, it is very likely that I will expose myself. Are you sure that this heart is worth the risk?”

Justin did not reply immediately. Instead, he said leisurely, “The Black Tortoise’s heart is the best material to build a blood pool. Whether you are willing to take the risk or not is up to you!”

When Vincent heard this, he immediately became excited.

The blood pool was the most important treasure among the Vampire Race. It complemented the blood laws. This was a treasure that Vincent, who was currently focused on improving his strength, absolutely had to get!

Vincent immediately walked to the observation window and shouted, “I bid eight million red crystals!”

The auction hall, which was originally bustling with activity, instantly became extremely quiet. Everyone turned their heads to look at the VIP room above. They wanted nothing more than to look through the glass to see the individual who had just called out the price.

There had always been an unwritten rule in the auction house. The bidding and raising of the price had to be maintained. Everyone had to gradually raise the price. This way, they could determine the winner easily and everyone would also have a fair chance. At the same time, the winner would be able to obtain the item at a reasonable price.

However, the price earlier had only been raised to four million red crystals, yet Vincent who was in the VIP room had already doubled the price. He could be considered by others as being too arrogant. He simply did not understand the rules!

Furthermore, eight million was a very frightening number. An ordinary medium-sized and small-sized association at the Inn only had an annual income of about eight million red crystals. Therefore, many creatures were forced to withdraw from the auction. They could only curse the guy who had shattered their dreams.

Only Hans, who was hiding behind the auction stage got excited that he almost jumped when he heard Vincent’s bid.

Hans cheered excitedly, “Great, this guy finally can’t hold it in anymore! Eight million red crystals is not a small amount. Even Charlie wouldn’t be able to suddenly take out so much money. It seems that this dragon egg will be ours today!”

However, at that moment, someone in the auction hall suddenly said, “I offer nine million red crystals! We at the Moon Association are determined to get this Black Tortoise’s heart.. Please help us, our friend upstairs!”
