The Genius Mage-Chapter 26
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Three days later, the auction officially began. Again, all the dignitaries in Spark City flocked to the auction. It was unprecedentedly lively.
Mr. Mack’s face was beaming. As the high-level manager of the Lisi Chamber of Commerce, he personally presided over the auction.
In the past, the Lisi auctions were not so popular. Although there were a few big shots who could attend the monthly auction, there were very few.
It was not like today, where all the bigwigs of Spark City had come. Instead, Spark City and the other cities around Spark City had big shots who had come to participate in the auction.
“Mr. Mack, Congratulations.”
In the Lisi Chamber of Commerce, one of Mr. Mack’s enemies came up to congratulate him hypocritically.
“Same to you.”
Mr. Mack said with a fake smile, his eyes filled with pride.
There were three major auctions in Spark City, and their Lisi auction was just one of them.
Compared to the other two major auctions, their Lisi auction had always been in a weak position. This is because their fame and strength were slightly inferior to the other two.
But after today, Mr. Mack believed that their Lisi auction would definitely become the number one auction in Spark City in a short period of time. Just from their fame alone, they would be able to leave the other two major auctions behind.
And all of this… was brought by Mr. Mack for the Lisi Chamber of Commerce. He was the biggest contributor.
Therefore, without a doubt, the promotion and salary he had been looking forward to were not far away.
“Miss Audrey is really my lucky star.”
Mr. Mack was happy that he had chosen to come out to receive Audrey personally.
…
The auction that shook the entire Spark City was held in full swing. However, no one had expected that the person who had successfully bid for the level-10 alchemy potion was not one of the major factions in Spark City, but a mysterious person of unknown origins.
One could be sure that that person was not from Spark City. However, that person’s wealth was truly astonishing. With just two bids, he had bid for the level-10 alchemy potion. There were so many powerful and influential people in the venue, yet no one dared to compete with him.
This was because that person’s bidding method was really too terrifying.
The first bid was directly quoted at a sky-high price of 300,000 gold coins.
300,000 gold coins was a huge sum of money even in the five great clans of Spark City.
Even the five great clans would have to grit their teeth when they had to fork out so much money.
For example, when Kaki’s father, Houston, saw this price, he immediately gave up.
This was because the bottom price in his heart was 250,000 gold coins. If it was higher than this price, even if he doted on Kaki, it was impossible for him to make another bid. Their third bloodline did not have that much money to spend on this. If he spent too much money on Kaki, he would be impeached.
After bidding the sky-high price of 300,000 gold coins, there were already very few people in Spark City who dared to continue competing.
However, the mysterious person’s second bid was even more astonishing. He actually increased the bid price of 320,000 gold coins to 500,000 gold coins.
He increased the bid price by 180,000 gold coins without even blinking. How heroic was this?
It was as if money was no longer money in that person’s eyes but a number that could be casually quoted.
500,000 gold coins completely surpassed the price that everyone in the auction venue could bear. Even the number one family of spark city, the Cameron family, was silent in front of this price.
Although level-10 breakthrough alchemy potions were very precious and rare, it was not worth spending 500,000 gold coins to buy them.
500,000 gold coins were enough to buy a high-grade Tier 3 alchemy potion. However, to buy a perfect Tier 1 alchemy potion, almost everyone in the auction hall could not accept it.
