?287 Lunar gods

Leon, who found out that Rio already raised the price to something he couldn't compete with, was hesitating to speak as he turned to look at Rebecca and then at Alfred. Yet didn't know what to say.

He himself didn't know clearly what that bracelet was, he just felt the same familiar feeling from it, which he got from the last bracelet he wanted to give to the princess at her birthday years ago.

"Leon, do you want that bracelet?" Alfred, noticing his strange behavior, asked instantly. He was just thinking about what trick he should use to lure this guy into his camp. Since healing his mom was probably not going to work out easily. (f)reewe(b)novel

But now here's his chance.

"If you want you can bid on it. Don't worry about the money."

"No, _ how can I _ I was just curious." Leon said and decided to ignore it.

Anyway that guy will probably give the bracelet to Rebecca too. So there was no need for him to interfere.

Alfred thought for some time, but didn't push this matter anymore. He didn't need to take any action himself, seeing that Vanessa and Korbil's were already in a tight bidding war against Rio. As the original price of 100 coins was raised to 500000 coins in just a few moments. And was still on the rise.

"1 million" Rio said, directly doubling the amount.

Seeing his determination to buy this item Vanessa was about to bid more, but just at that moment the clock ran out and the lady in red bashed the hammer on the podium. Signaling the end of this round.

Soon the waiter brought the bracelet to him, taking the silver bracelet in his hands, Rio started playing with it. Looking at every stone tied with the string carefully.

Everyone around was looking at his actions closely, trying to see if there was something special about the bracelet. But then Rio just crushed the bracelet in his hands and threw it aside. While dusting his hands as if he didn't like the craft.

-Cough cough

Rebecca gave a dry cough seeing this and frowned, as she thought, she was expecting too much from this idiot. 'I should really get him to buy me something later.' 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Vanessa and others just thought that Rio was just raising the price on a whim seeing their actions. But in the end he himself lost it. They even felt happy about it.

While Leon was the only one who felt dissatisfied with it. He was cursing himself about why he didn't tell Alfred or Rebecca about that bracelet. If he did, they surely would've bought it first.

But it was too late now, he couldn't even sense any aura of that stone anymore. So it was probably broken by Rio and got destroyed.

[Successfully stole the star stone - 25000 points.]

[Slightly altered the lunar scale event - 5000 points.]

[Several moon gods cast their eyes upon you.]

[Selene(Greek goddess of moon) asks you to give that stone to her chosen.]

[Chandra(Hindu God of moon) suggests you hand over that stone to his believers.]

[Tsukuyomi(Japanese god of moon) asks you to sacrifice that stone to his shrine in return for the blessing of Silver serenity.]

Seeing the notifications after he placed the star stone in his system storage and threw the rest of the pebbles aside, Rio had a bright smile on his face.

The auction continued and the routine remained the same.

Looking at Vanessa who was trembling in anger, as she just spent 5 million on a flame petal herb which she needed for her next big upgrade in skill, Rio smiled even more. Who asked her to mess with him. Doesn't she know he has the plot and knows exactly what she's here to buy secretly.

She had a few men arranged to buy that rare herb for her cheaply, but when it was auctioned, Rio just kept raising the price every time until she had to give in herself and join the bidding process before the time ran out.

Seeing her fuming, Rio was sure she spent almost all her savings in this auction competing with him.

As for Korbil's they were in the same zone too. Even if they didn't buy anything as outrageous as Vanessa. Collectively they also did lose a lot.

Alfred and Rebecca also bought a few stuff but Rio let them be. Simply cause just like him, they packed unlimited money and wouldn't even break a sweat spending it all. So why waste your breath on useless things.

Finally the time which Rio was waiting for came.

"The next on the selling list is a pair of ancient rings found in the remains of a crashed dungeon. Though it looks normal, it's made of some rare metals and is highly resistant to flames. So if anyone wants some research on rare metals of a foreign world, here's your chance. Starting price 2500 coins." The lady in red said and opened the jewel box with two rusty rings inside.

She tried to cheer up the mood but since everyone who was here to buy something had bought something, not many were enthusiastic about this pair of corroded rings.

"2600 coins." Someone spoke and the bid started.

2700 coins

2800 coins

The price was rising slowly with the minimal limit and it was sure this item would be sold soon. Some couldn't even wait to finish this item and move onto the next one. So this auction can be finished fast and they can all leave.

But at this time, Leon suddenly felt a string in his heart, like something was calling him. Following his gut feeling which always saved and supported him, Leon stared at the pair of rings and then raised his hand to bid.

"3000 coins"

Hearing someone from the VIP rooms was bidding, even the little guys who were willing to get this ring seemed to give up.

Leon curled his lips in a smile, when he saw that no one else was bidding anymore.

'What do these guys know, that ring is probably the only important thing in this auction. I should go back and properly check what's special about it tonight.' He sneered and thought, totally trusting his protagonist's sixth sense of luck.

But sadly luck wasn't on his side today.

"4000 coins" One of the guys with a hunched back stood up and spoke, while cupping his hands in the direction of Leon's room. As if asking for forgiveness before competing against them.

He was a little known figure in the study of metallurgy at floating islands, so not many were surprised when he spoke up to buy this rare metal ring.

"5000 coins." Another man stood up and glared at the hunched man and started shouting. "Morbien, how dare you bid against the Royal Prince's guests. Don't you want to live in Schilla anymore?"

"What, is the prince sitting in that room?"

"Of course, I saw it with my own eyes. Prince and the princess were walking on that side." Another man spoke from the side and soon the crowd churned in whispers.

"You should stop bidding, Morbien. So as not to anger royal highness."

"This doesn't concern you, old man. And I don't think his royal highness would mind something so little when I'm just following the rules of the auction." The hunched man said.

"You _ you're the old man. Your whole family is old. Auction, right _ I'll see how you bid then." The man said and waved a pouch filled with coins in the air. "5000 coins I'll take these rings and gift it to royal highness."

"6000 coins"

7000

7500

10000

Slowly and slowly 2-3 more people stood up and started competing for the ring, some wanted to end this farce early. Some wanted to research, while some wanted to lick Alfred by buying these rings.

Though Alfred felt happy seeing his popularity, Leon on the other side had a twisted look on his face. 'Where did all these people pop up from?'

His own pocket money was stolen outside this auction, but then by using the ring he got from the bandits and the warzy gang, he had around 40000 coins so he could still bid and buy stuff. But after buying the herb for her mother and a concentration pill for himself, he only had a little over 7000 coins left.

He could've still bought these rings at first, but now the price was already out of range for him.

Rio didn't look at Leon, he was staring at the rings. Especially one which looked almost on the verge of collapse and fully covered in layers of rust even from afar. His eyes closed and instantly he felt his consciousness getting pulled into the ring, the moment he stared at it.

In front of him he could see the silhouette of a man dressed in white clothes with his hands on his back, walking above the clouds.

Rio opened his eyes and breathed heavily. Beads of sweat appeared on his face but he waved them away, as system replenished his mana back to full without even asking. "So you're finally here." Rio said and smiled.
