Primordial Soul's Rebirth

The Auction Hall was filled with an unknown pressure when the voice was heard.

The pressure was not because of something the voice spoke; the owner of the voice just spoke calm words as if nothing had happened, but that was what made the pressure increase tenfold.

Even the general audience could feel the pressure as even if they were excused by the mana pressure, they still knew that something happened and that something was not a small thing.

One of the top raiders of the world was bought on his knees, just this was enough for them to get the idea of what had happened.

Luna was unsure of what to say, she knew she was at fault as she could have stopped this if she interfered, which she didn't just because she wanted some entertainment.

She was going to step in the next second, though. Just because the Crimson Lotus and the Association were on bad terms wouldn't make her break the rules, she set herself.

But who would have thought that before she could step in, the case would be handled by someone else?

Now Alex and his group had the upper hand and Luna knew it. They could ask her for compensation for their mental stress, even if there was none, after all, the rules did say that the victims would be compensated accordingly.

Now she knew that the option of having the strange metal (Starshard) for the Association was out of the question, but that didn't mean that others wouldn't bid for it.

Every one of the high-ranking guild masters here knew that there were some people in the audience and low-ranking raiders who were from the Association.

They also knew what their job was, so it would be strange if Alice, Ann, and Alex didn't know about it, this is the reason that Luna was not going to use them now.

She didn't want to bet on something she was not sure of getting in her hands only to lose it along with having to compensate Alex's group.

So, she backed down.

The muscle-headed guy was bent downwards and if he didn't support his body with his knees then he would be lying on the ground, but he was still conscious while resisting the pressure of SS-rank mana.

This was not something anyone could do and Alex knew this as well, that was also the reason why Alex was a bit surprised.

The musclehead was now looking towards compartment number two with cautious eyes as his anger had calmed down the moment he was hit by the pressure.

He could also see that his lover-cum-secretory was also hurt because of him, making him a bit guilty and sad. He wanted to apologize to her for hurting her and not being mindful of the surroundings, he wanted to free himself from the pressure, but he just couldn't.

However, as if listening to his plea, the next second the pressure was lifted. He looked towards Alex's compartment for a second before he rushed towards his lover.

He knew what was important right now as even if he was just a musclehead, he still loved his lover.

............…

"Well, this incident will at least get us the Startshard in cheap," Alex spoke with a shrug as he saw Alice and Ann staring at him.

Alice and Ann were seriously surprised, first by the musclehead's outburst, and before their brains could register what happened, they got even more surprised by Alex's action.

The muscle head was not just some random or normal S-rank Raider like Frank or Joseph. He was someone from the world ranking and not just someone, he was ranked 5th in the world ranking which was 10 ranks higher than Alice.

Although the ranks were not accurate, Alice knew that if she were to fight with that musclehead then the result would be a draw, that is if he didn't just rush at her without caring about anything, after all, that guy's defenses were tough.

Such a guy was dealt with by Alex without even moving a figure. This was enough for both Alice and Ann to know that Alex's mana stats were higher than S-rank, but they wanted to know if it was just mana stat that was higher than S.

They suddenly got excited as they thought that maybe Alex was the strongest in the world right now, which meant that they had the strongest raider in their guild.

"400 million going once."

However, they were soon broken out of their thoughts when they heard Luna's voice as she started the countdown.

"400 million going twice."

Luna looked at compartment one hoping that Argon would increase the price as she wanted to at least get some more money out of this item if she couldn't get it.

"Sold."

When Luna saw that Argon was not placing a bid, she felt a bit strange, she didn't feel that he was scared, after all, he was the strongest.

She then thought that maybe the item was not worth more than 300 million in Argon's eyes, which made her sigh inwardly as the item did not seem that amazing in her eyes now.

What she didn't know was that Argon didn't have time to focus on the item as he was more concerned about the situation which was getting out of his hands now.

He was now hell-bent on buying the incomplete mana core and he was now not going to do any research with it. He was simply going to use it to grow stronger, he was now feeling a bit of a crisis, he felt that he needed to grow strong faster, or else he would not stand a chance against Alex.

He wasn't going to hope for things to be all right now, he knew things were not going as they were supposed to, rather, they were going like they were never supposed to go.

So, he decided to ignore this item and instead focus on the final item.

Just like that the Starshard was bought by Alice and that item was transported to the storage to be given to them along with the money earned from the items they put in the auction.

The Auction continued at a steady pace and many of Crimson Lotus Guild's items were sold at high prices adding to Alice and Ann's happiness.

What no one noticed was that in one of the compartments, there was a man sitting along with another person wearing black clothes that covered even their face.

One of them was Joseph (Guild master of the White Shark Guild) who had been looking towards compartment two with a strange glint in his eyes, however, only time would tell what he was thinking.

............…

After a long period of bidding and buying items, it was finally time for the final item to be presented in front of everyone and so it happened.

Four people, among which two were females and two were large bulky males could be seen walking from behind the stage with a lady wearing revealing clothes walking in the middle, pushing a trolly.

On top of the trolly, a spherical item could be seen as it was shining with multi-colored light, brightening its surroundings, even when it was covered with black linen clothing.

But how could such a big event go on without any problem, however, as mentioned, something did happen. But to know what happened, I guess you need to read the next chapter.
