Chapter 548 Auction (8)

Dronacharya had messed up! He had simply messed up and he felt his heart throbbing out of his chest while suffering from internal bleeding as he screamed at the top of his lungs .

He was only trying to type in " 150 million ". However he messed up the number of zeroes in his bid and made a ridiculous bid of 1.5billion gold coins.

He had prepared nearly 1 trillion dollars for this auction , with only one item in mind which was the key to the ruins of Purplehaze city. However never did he think that 750 billion , a full 3/4th of that budget would be spent on a stupid page that the blood merchant organization wanted.

Although he was rich , it was not free money handed down by his father for him , it was money earned through his blood sweat and tears. Hence when such a large amount of money was used on something that he personally did not want , it hurt his damn soul.

It was one of those moments in life for Dronacharya , when he had promised to pay for dinner for a celebration of an occasion , however the friends he took out ate like there was no tommorow , hence although his heart ached at the thought of the food bill becoming too excessive , being a good host he had to suffer in silence and pay the bill with a smile.

Such was his relationship with the blood merchant organization , as he had to give them face and buy the item that they wanted. However he would never want to pay soo much for their cause , or pay such an outrageous amount for the item .

In his heart he was begging king room 2 for putting up another bid , however to his absolute dismay the bid that he soo desperately wanted , never came.

" 1.5 BILLION GOING ONCE ".

" 1.5 BILLION GOING TWICE ".

" 1.5 BILLION GOING THRICE , SOLD TO THE GENTLEMAN IN VIP3! ". The fox man announced.

Cheers and light clapping erupted all over the arena , as a common man had stood up to a king existance and paid a ridiculous price for a page.

However the two individuals involved both had a completely different reaction to the conclusion of the items bidding.

Dronacharya who had won the bid was feeling complete despair , and Rudra who had let the item slip through his hands breathed a sigh of relief as he realized that he had made the right choice.

It was not that Rudra did not want the item , however he had to be responsible and put the greater interest of the guild above his own agenda as 750 billion dollars was not a small amount , and could achieve a lot when spent correctly .

Housing projects , defence spending , cultural spending , and many other areas that needed immediate attention by the guild were put on hold because of lack of sufficient funds , as well as the Elites warchest needed to be filled to the brim , to prevent situations that led to them toppling the Nineclouds kingdom happening to themselves as well.

Hence deciding to suppress the VIP3 once the auction ended , now that he knew that the page was in the hands of a player , rather than having no lead at all. Rudra was confident in obtaining the item one way or another in the next few months.

However the bidding had set in stone his hatred for VIP 3 who kept meddling in his buisness time and time again. At first it was for the leap skill that he desperately wanted and now it was for the only item that Rudra had attended the auction for.

Rudra was sure that come what may he would make the other party pay for this , as he resolved in his mind that whatever item that room was bidding for , he was going to be a busybody and bid for that item as well.

And fate made it so that Rudra did not have to wait for his chance for much long at all , as the second item that came for bidding was the special key to the Purplehaze City ruins.

Item : A mysterious orb leading to unknown ruins

Description : This orb leads to a mysterious ancient ruins in an undisclosed location. Fortune and dangers lie at those ruins . This is an item for those who dare to explore the unknown.

The bidding was happening extremely quickly in the early stages , as everyone wanted to get this item with the promise of the unknown.

However Rudra's eyes sparked when a particular individual bid for the item.

" 60 million from VIP3 " , declared the auctioneer , as Rudra found his chance to meddle in the other parties buisness.

Instantly pressing 100 million , Rudra upped VIP3 by a large margin.

" 100 million from King room 2 ". The foxman said as everyone took a glance at king room 2 , who was bidding big numbers once again.

" 200 million from VIP3 ... 300 million from King room 2 ! ". The foxman said with excitement , as the chatters in the crowd increased. It seemed like the two bigshots were at it again , and now it definitely seemed like a round of personal drama , as the sheer numbers that they were incrementing were ridiculously high.

" Damn you king room 2 .... ". Cursed dronacharya as he felt his heart in a pinch when he saw the item he soo desperately wanted being pushed to the limits of his monetary prowess.

He only had 250 billion dollars left for this auction in his fund , which meant that he could only bid for so long untill it would become out of budget for him.

The orb was a must have item for Dronacharya as without it all his future plans would crumple down.

He cursed his luck to have excessively bid for the page of the demon's diary , and the bloodmerchant organization , as now his own ambitions were in serious peril.
