Alejandro Gray didn’t actually oppose the confrontation between the two sides, as the more intense it was, the higher the price he could get for the position of Lord of Clearwind Town.
With the Water and Fire Dual Heroes and the Enchanting Gentleman making a move, it was unlikely that anyone else would participate in the bidding.
Alejandro Gray flipped his right hand, and a silver token appeared in his hand.
The front of the silver token had the words “Lord of Clearwind” written on it, while the back showed a map of Clearwind Town.
“The starting price for the position of Lord of Clearwind Town is 300, 000 Spirit Stones, with each subsequent bid not less than 10, 000 Low-Quality Spirit Stones. Let the bidding begin!”
Alejandro Gray held the silver token, his eyes filled with authority as he scanned the entire room and announced loudly.
“300, 000 Spirit Stones!”
“What a high starting price!”
“With such a high price, we can only watch.”
Faced with such a high starting price, most cultivators didn’t even have the confidence to participate.
“310, 000!” Fierce Wave directly made a bid.
“Just a 10, 000 increase, how petty. I bid 350, 000!” The Enchanting Gentleman chuckled lightly and made a bid.
“380, 000!” Fierce Wave glanced coldly at the Enchanting Gentleman and made a firm bid.
“400, 000!” The Enchanting Gentleman narrowed his eyes and made another bid.
Shouting out a price of 400, 000, the Enchanting Gentleman actually felt a bit of pain in his heart. After all, it was pure white Spirit Stones.
“To actually shout out a sky-high price of 400, 000, truly crazy!”
“The Enchanting Gentleman and the Water and Fire Dual Heroes truly live up to their reputation as the strongest rogue cultivators in the Zratol area. Their strength is indeed formidable!”
“I remember that the last auction for the position of Lord was sold for 400, 000 Low-Quality Spirit Stones. Could today’s auction break through that sky-high price!?”
Amidst the discussions of many cultivators, Fierce Wave gritted his teeth and made another bid: “420, 000!”
“450, 000!” The Enchanting Gentleman hesitated for a moment before making a bid.
“460, 000!” Fierce Wave’s face clearly showed a pained expression. This price was already close to his limit.
The Enchanting Gentleman’s face darkened as he fell silent, not making another bid.
“The Enchanting Gentleman, if you dare to raise your bid!” Fierce Wave looked at the Enchanting Gentleman and taunted with a cold smile.
The Enchanting Gentleman’s expression changed for a moment, but he smirked and said proudly, “You fools really think I’m interested in this position of Lord?”
“I’m used to living freely, with beautiful women accompanying me every day. I have no interest in being a Lord.”
After saying that, the Enchanting Gentleman pulled a woman beside him and laughed heartily.
“You…!” Fierce Wave suddenly realized that he had been tricked and anger burned within him.
“Fierce Wave, don’t believe his words. He probably doesn’t have enough Spirit Stones to continue bidding. He’s just trying to show off his eloquence.” Fierce Fire glanced at the direction of the Enchanting Gentleman and said solemnly to Fierce Wave.
“Yes!” Fierce Wave nodded solemnly and looked at Alejandro Gray on the auction stage, saying loudly, “Lord Marquis, please announce the result.”
The price of 460, 000 Low-Quality Spirit Stones was already quite high, and Alejandro Gray was satisfied with it.
At that moment, Alejandro Gray scanned the entire room and finally asked, “With Water and Fire Dual Heroes bidding 460, 000, does any fellow cultivator have a higher price?”
The room fell silent as Alejandro Gray’s words echoed.
Just as Alejandro Gray was about to announce the result, a voice rang out: “470, 000!”
The bidding voice came from the direction of Pavilion No. 9.
People subconsciously looked over in that direction, but there was not much surprise on their faces. They had become accustomed to this mysterious person in the black cloak suddenly making bids.
“I knew that mysterious person would make a bid!”
“He actually dares to compete with the Water and Fire Dual Heroes. He must have quite a background.”
“He must have an extraordinary background. During the auction for the Ascension Pill, he didn’t even give face to the prince who came from the capital.”
People whispered to each other, even more curious about Leo’s identity.
In Pavilion No. 9 where the Watts family was located, Arthur couldn’t help but show a surprised expression on his face as he thought to himself, “Does Leo want to become the Lord of Clearwind Town?”
Upon hearing Leo’s bid, Fierce Wave and Fierce Fire’s expressions turned grim.
They hadn’t expected that besides the Enchanting Gentleman, someone else would interfere.
“May I ask your name and where you come from? Why are you interested in the position of Lord of Clearwind Town?” Fierce Wave asked coldly.
“No comment,” Leo replied with four words.
“Haha! Water and Fire Dual Heroes, it seems like you won’t be able to get the position of Lord of Clearwind Town.” The Enchanting Gentleman mockingly taunted.
“480, 000!” Upon hearing the Enchanting Gentleman’s taunt, Fierce Wave’s eyes flashed with a fierce light as he made another bid.
The price of 480, 000 was almost like cutting off a piece of flesh from Fierce Wave. Even if he won the position of Lord, he wouldn’t feel happy about it.
“500, 000!” Leo spoke without hesitation.
As for the fierce light emanating from Fierce Wave, Leo simply ignored it.
“This is astonishing! The position of Lord of Clearwind Town has been auctioned off for 500, 000!”
There was an immediate uproar among the crowd.
At the same time, everyone marveled at the mysterious person’s wealth in Pavilion No. 9.
Fierce Wave and Fierce Fire’s faces became extremely gloomy.
The price of 500, 000 was already beyond their limits.
“This fellow cultivator, do you know that not everyone can sit on the position of Lord? Every year, Lords fall. If you win this position and accidentally fall within one or two months, it won’t be good,” Fierce Wave said in a threatening tone.
“No need to worry about that. If someone wants to target me, they need to be prepared for their own downfall,” Leo replied calmly and confidently.
“Hmph! You’re on your own!” Fierce Wave snorted coldly and sat back down.
This action clearly indicated that Water and Fire Dual Heroes had given up.
“It’s getting more interesting.” Prince Tyrese’s face revealed a smile that was hard to interpret.
After waiting for a while, Alejandro Gray announced loudly, “Since no one else is bidding, I declare that the position of Lord of Clearwind Town belongs to Pavilion No. 9!”
Leo’s eyes sparkled as he won the position of Lord. He finally had a place to stay in this unfamiliar Otherworld.
“Fellow cultivators, thank you all for attending this auction. With that said, all auction items have been successfully sold. On behalf of Everlasting Trade Association and Marquis Manor, I declare that this auction has come to a successful end!”
Alejandro Gray looked at everyone, bowed slightly, and smiled.
After the auction ended, those cultivators who didn’t win any items naturally left Marquis Manor.
As for those who won their desired items at the auction, they followed the maidservants to a designated location to pay their Spirit Stones and collect their items.
