Chapter 547 System Auction (7)

The very first item of the system auction's third phase had Rudra scrambling for breath.

[ A page from demon's diary ] ( unknown ) : One of the many pages of the demons diary. It contains untold secrets.

Starting price : 1.5 million gold

Basic increment : 0.5 million gold

Buyout limit : No buyout limit

The moment the Auctioneer put up this item , Rudra felt his heart beat faster and faster as he placed the very first bid .

"1.5 million from King room 2! " Announced the auctioneer as the bidding went underway.

"2 million from upper gallery ".

" 2.5 million from VIP1 ".

" 3 Million from VIP 4 ".

"5 million from King room 2 ! ".

The price was increasing rapidly . 5 million gold was already 2billion 500 million dollars. This was the annual turnover for most billion dollars corporations around the world , an astronomical amount that could buy N number of sports cars and Luxury products .

However the price of the item took no less than 15 seconds to reach from 5 to 15 million gold.

" 15 million gold from VIP3 ". The announcer said.

It was Dronacharya who was bidding for this item with a complicated emotion , as he was under orders from the blood merchant organization to get only this single specific item . Hence even if it pained his heart , he needed to bid for it with all he got.

Rudra took a nasty glance at VIP3 who was meddling in his buisness again , as he incremented the price considerably to give a clear signal that he was interested in this item and everyone else should back off.

" 50 MILLION FROM KING ROOM 2 ! ". The announcer said in a joyful voice as murmurs broke out all over the arena.

The item was only a page and it's functions were not clearly listed , hence only those with a clear knowledge about the demon's diary could seriously bid for it.

At Rudra's pricepoint of 50 million gold , everyone from the upper gallery was out of the race as they could not simply afford to pay such ridiculous prices . While those who were only bidding to satisfy their own curiosity about the mysterious item got a signal to back off from it as a king room member was serious about it .

The threat worked for a while no-one else bid , however then the punk from VIP3 decided to mess with Rudra .

" 51 million from VIP3 ". The foxman said

Discussion broke out in the audience as everyone looked towards VIP3 box who was competing with a king for an useless item , as the clash provided some entertaining drama to the auction.

" 60 million from King room 2 ". The announcer said

This was Rudra's last warning to VIP3 as anything after this was unforgivable , however VIP 3 did not take to his kind wishes as not even 3 seconds later another bid came .

" 60.5 million from VIP3 ". The foxman said

Laughter broke out all over the arena , as it was obvious now that VIP3 was toying with King room 2 as it had understood that king room 2 desperately wanted the item and hence was purposefully making things hard for them.

Many tried to figure out the nature of relations.h.i.+p between VIP3 and king2 and the ident.i.ty of the two parties but it was only pure speculation without substance , the real ident.i.ty could only be figured out if someone is invited to visit the room.

" 100 MILLION GOLD " The Foxman almost screamed as he was absolutely delighted at how things were turning out to be .

The price of the item was only estimated to be at 16 million gold , hence the increase in price was quite significant for the auction house.

Silence engulfed the arena after this bid , as everyone took a deep breath.

They had completely misunderstood this item , it seemed that it contained great secrets.

However what followed was even more shocking.

" 1.5 BILLION GOLD from VIP 3 " . The foxman announced as even he needed to drink a gla.s.s of water to stomach this pricing.

The entire arena went into pandemonium as glances were thrown towards VIP 3 who was responsible for bidding such proposterous prices.

Rudra was absolutely baffled as he found his fingers trembling to put in the next bidding amount as he contemplated if the item was worth the money he was putting in for it.

Rudra had infinite hatred for VIP3 at this point as 1.5 billion gold meant 750 billion dollars in real life.

Although it was not a sum Rudra could not afford at all. It was not a sum that he could throw away without any thoughts as well as the position of the guild was such that it needed a lot of running capital to fund its ma.s.sive expansion projects , and forking out such huge amounts of money for a piece of paper that will not see any tangible benefits for the guild in the near future was a tough call to make.

Rudra knew in his heart that since Lucifer wanted this item this badly , it could not be a coincidence that VIP3 was soo h.e.l.lbent on buying it , VIP3 had to have a connection with Lucifer somehow , which meant that the value of the item was definitely worth the price for the ruler of h.e.l.l.

However the only thing stopping him from pressing the next bidding amount was that he knew in his heart that it was not worth the price he was paying for it and that the guild had more practical uses for the money than squandering on a piece of paper

Hence he looked towards Amelia for advice as she was also an extremely level headed and stable person who could discern right from wrong .

" What do I do , i really need this item Amelia , but the price has gotten ridiculous now ... What do I do? ". Rudra asked in a troubled voice ... , He needed help.
