Chapter 343: I’ll Buy All The Items
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“For 100,000 gold coins, really?”
Everyone followed the voice and saw that the bidder was Casey, who was still sitting in the first row. They were all a little dumbfounded.
A sum of 100,000 gold coins was not a small amount for some of the less influential noblemen in the floating city. In fact, that was all of their wealth. However, Casey did not hesitate to shout out such a sum just to buy a painting—even the Ptolemy family was not so wealthy.
“Is Young Master Casey drunk? Or did he earn a lot of money from somewhere?”
Many people were confused. After hearing Casey’s bid of 100,000 gold coins, they did not dare to raise the price anymore. Spending more than 100,000 gold coins to buy a cursed painting—was not that crazy?
“No more bids? Then, that painting shall belong to Young Master Casey.”
The black-masked man in charge of the auction was also a little surprised. He did not expect the Ptolemy family’s second young master to bid for two consecutive lots. He looked at Casey and realized that three beautiful women surrounded him. He had understood the situation.
Presumably, that young master had just found three beautiful women and wanted to show off in front of them. That was why he was so generous. It was enough to bid for those two lots. He expected that other people would not raise the price under such circumstances, so the auctioneer could not be bothered to ask the third time. He immediately asked his subordinate to put the painting in front of Casey and was prepared to auction the third item.
“The third item is a peak gold-tier weapon forged by the kingdom’s most famous forge master, Master Berlin. The price starts at 5,000 gold coins...”
“There’s no need for that. 250,000 gold coins. I’ll take it.”
The entire venue was stifled again because the person who shouted the price was still Casey.
“Young Master Casey, are you sure you want that item?” The auctioneer’s voice also stopped abruptly, as if he had forgotten what the next line was.
He initially thought that Casey intended to show off his ability in front of the three women, but it seemed that it was not the case at all. In addition, the money that Casey had thrown into the auction had already reached several hundred thousand gold coins. It was enough for Casey to buy hundreds of high-quality maids and enjoy a different kind of enjoyment every day.
“Of course, I like that sword very much. 250,000 gold coins. If it’s not enough, I’ll add more.”
Casey, who was Watson, leaned back on the chair and spoke arrogantly.
The blade on the stage was obviously the work of a master. It was gorgeous, and there were seven gemstones inlaid on the hilt. A lifelike giant dragon coiled around it as if it wanted to swallow the gemstones. The entire sword emitted a sharp aura, even from a distance. One could still see its sharpness.
“He bid 250,000 gold coins! Young Master Casey must be crazy today. Did he bring so much money?”
Faint discussions could be heard from the seats behind them. Everyone looked at Watson as if they were looking at a madman.
“Young Master Casey, to ensure the orderly conduct of the auction, this auction item does not support checks but only cash payments. We need to verify whether the number of gold coins you have is sufficient for payment. May you cooperate with us, Young Master Casey?”
The auctioneer’s eyes flickered as he said that. He could not help but suspect that Casey had drunk too much and had come to the auction house to act crazily. Perhaps it was all drunken talks.
“If you want to verify it, then hurry up and do it. Don’t waste my time.”
Watson maintained his arrogance as he vented his anger on the ceiling.
“I’m sorry, Young Master Casey, for offending you.”
The two maids went to Watson and put a large box by his feet. The real Casey had brought that money, and after Watson had knocked him unconscious, it was Watson’s turn to carry it with him.
Crash!
They opened the box, and the gold coins rolled out with a loud sound.
The two maids bent forward and checked the gold coins in front of them. Their faces darkened as they continued to inspect the gold coins. One of them said, “Young Master Casey, there are only 20,000 gold coins here. Are you sure this is all there is?”
“So Casey doesn’t have enough money. He was the one who bid on all those items just now. D*mn it! Is he only here to cause trouble? We didn’t even get a single item just now.”
They heard more complaints, and the auctioneer on the platform looked upset. At that moment, Watson smiled and twisted the ring on his finger. “Don’t worry, who said that’s all I have? I just have too much money, so it’s not convenient for me to take it with me.”
As he spoke, the gold coins in the box in front of him suddenly began to split. One became two, two became four. In a short time, the money in the box had increased hundreds of times, turning into a mountain of gold several meters high. The two maids were almost buried in it.
“What’s going on?”
Everyone was dumbfounded. When the two maids finally climbed out of the pile of gold with great difficulty, the crowd snapped back to their senses. They looked at Watson in disbelief. Did Watson steal the Ptolemy family’s money?
“There are five million gold coins here. Is it enough to buy those few items?”
“It’s, it’s enough.”
The two handmaidens did not dare to say anything else.
“Do you still want to continue checking?”
“There’s no need, Young Master Casey. Please wait a moment. We will immediately pack up and send the third item over for you.”
What a joke! It was like a mountain of gold. Why would they still check? It was a little exaggerated to say that those gold coins could buy the entire auction house. However, it would not be a problem to buy most of the items in the auction house.
Even Elena, Bella, and Rose also gasped. It was as if they had just met Watson for the first time. If it were not for the fact that they had to cooperate with Watson to disguise themselves, they really wanted to dive into the mountain of gold and enjoy the taste of rolling in gold. That might be the only chance for them to experience it in their entire lives.
“Ahem, the fourth item is up for sale. That item is a gold-tier advanced magic source potion. After drinking it, one’s magic can be replenished tenfold in a day! The price starts at 10,000 gold coins. Each increment must not be less than 500 gold coins.”
“I bid 500,000 gold coins!”
Watson spoke almost at the same time as the auctioneer.
“Again?”
“Is there no end to this? Is Casey planning to buy all the items at the auction? What’s the point of us participating in this?”
Many people in the auction hall looked furious. They stood up abruptly, glanced at the pile of gold in front of Watson, and sat back down. In terms of power, they definitely could not compare to the Ptolemy family, and in terms of wealth, they could not compare to Watson, who had brought a pile of gold. They were suffering.
“Everyone, please don’t get excited. I plan to offer 50 times the price of each item. If you want to raise the price, I’ll see if I’ll continue with the bid! As you can see, I have five million gold coins now. Even if it’s an average of 200,000 to 300,000 gold coins per item, I can still buy dozens of items.
“In other words, I will buy all the items here.”
Watson slowly stood up and looked around. He was covered in bruises and looked very comical, but no one dared to laugh. Instead, they felt a sense of pride.
Was he the same Ptolemy family’s second young master?
Many people have that thought in their hearts. At that moment, Casey did not look like a good-for-nothing young master. Instead, he looked like a person who had enjoyed a high status for a while.
“I want to ask everyone—are you not satisfied with how I do things?”
No one responded. Even if they were dissatisfied, they would not say it out loud.
It was as if he could see through their thoughts. Watson said, “Of course, it’s a little too overbearing to buy the entire place by myself. I plan to give everyone some compensation! If you want to sell the slaves you bought in the Crystal Palace or the slaves you already have in the family, you can come to me. I will also pay fifty times the price. I am happy today. I want to buy out the entire place, and I will pay for whatever you spend here in the Crystal Palace. I hope you can consider it.”
Fifty times the price! If those rich people could sell a few handmaidens, the price difference would allow them to earn a lot of gold coins. Not only would it offset their spending there, but it would also allow them to make a lot of money.
For a moment, most of them were tempted.
“Young Master Casey, do you mean what you said?”
“When have I ever lied?”
“If that’s the case, Young Master Casey, the two women beside me are the slaves I just bought from the Iris Flower Tavern. Their original price is 1,000 gold coins. I will sell them to you.”
A well-dressed noble came in front of Watson. He was holding a chain in his hand, which was tied around the necks of the two female elves. It caused a mark to appear on their snow-white necks. The two elves seemed to be sisters; they were about 14 or 15 years old. Their beautiful eyes were stained with tears, and their tiny faces were gray. They were trembling with fear as they approached Watson.
“Very good, I’ll buy these two. These 50,000 gold coins are yours.”
Watson pouted, and a large lump of gold coins immediately floated from the mountain of gold in front of him. It was precisely 50,000 gold coins, and it landed in front of the nobleman.
“Thank you, Young Master Casey. I won’t be staying for the auction. I wish you a pleasant stay here.” The nobleman could not stop smiling when he saw the gold coins. He hurriedly put the gold coins into a leather suitcase and turned around to leave.
Two slaves for 50,000 gold coins! That business was too profitable.
As that person left, everyone was in an uproar.
“Young Master Casey, I have three slaves here. Their original price is 1,500 gold coins.”
“I have many slaves by my side. Take mine first. I have ten slaves in the Crystal Palace. According to the price, Young Master Casey should give me 500,000 gold coins!”
“Young Master Casey, my slaves are not by my side but in my mansion. What should I do?”
For a moment, the auction house was filled with people. The men rushed toward Watson while the women looked at Watson with complicated eyes. They did not expect that Casey would want to buy a large number of slaves or the auction house. As they thought of the rumors about Casey, they were worried about the women. At the same time, they were also very envious. The way Casey was spending his money at that moment was really tempting.. If Casey did not have the bad habit of ravaging women, everyone would like them more.
