From today onward Elliot had planned to leave the breach until his money making plan was completed, in the first place he had been satisfied by making 100 000 dollars because now his father didn't have to pay every month for hi mom's hospital bills but that wasn't enough. His mom could survive with the help of the doctors in the hospital but that was far from enough, now his objective was to gather a way larger sum of money, find the best hospital and send his mom there. This way they might even be able to find a cure to her disease but to do that 100 000 dollars was far from enough !
Since that day when Elliot went out of the breach for the first time and was assaulted from every side by potential buyers he had an idea, selling the stuff he bought in an auction and that was what he was about to do now !
He put all the 24 pieces of jewelry he had stolen from the baron together with his own equipment in his inventory and left towards the breach. He kept only one bracelet that he judged as the less expensive of his collection and he planned to sell it outside of the auction to lift funds, of course to make his auction he would need money and so he believed this bracelet should be more than enough.
[Lucky charm:
Luck : +50.]
Elliot believed that the stat he needed the less at the moment was luck so he decided on this item to sell, he didn't know how much luckier he would get by wearing it but he believed he was already lucky enough and decided he would sell it first.
As he walked towards the breach Elliot started developing his plan further, the biggest issue he had no way of solving now was security. This big of a sum would obviously attract attention and who said attention meant bad people.
An few minutes later Elliot walked out of the breach and was assaulted by the potential buyers, today Oliver wasn't here and so Elliot decided to make a sort of small auction right of the bat.
"I have a bracelet right here, the name is Lucky charm and as it names says it gives a total of 50 luck points. Whoever gives me the best price will get it !"
The buyers were surprised and even more surprised were the other adventurers going in and out, in the near 2 weeks that the breach was open there were more and more items being bought out but the transactions were mostly done secretly and so it was their first time seeing this kind of event and everyone got excited !
"Luck ? Wouldn't this stat boost the drop rate of items from monsters ? It's definitely a good item !"
Elliot heard someone talking on his right; he was an adventurer and what he said annoyed Elliot.
'Damn they already know about the drops, I guess I didn't find out that early after all.'
"I'll take it from you for 10 000 dollars !"
"I want it, how about 11 000 dollars ?"
"Don't fight over it with me you pleb, I'll take it for 15 000!"
"Who are you calling pleb huh ? I want it for 20 000!"
Slowly the price rose and at the same time tension rose amongst the bidders, after awhile most bidders left were adventurers though. This item was completely worth a fortune to them since they could make it worth with only one good drop.
"112 000$ here !"
"Alright enough, move out of the way ! I'll take it for 150 000, nobody is allowed to bid higher !"
After awhile a young man wearing a dark blue suit walked to the front with very arrogant manners and stated that simple sentence. When he did so the place suddenly went completely quiet, it was so calm that you could hear a needle falling to the ground.
"Who are you to suddenly not allow anyone to bid higher, in case you didn't realize this auction is mine to preside."
Elliot who was in an extremely good mood seeing his item going at a high price was suddenly annoyed by this arrogant man.
"Humph! If I want an item there is nothing you can do, just shut up and sell it to me !"
Elliot looked at the guy like he was some sort of idiot and said
"This person isn't allowed to bid anymore, please continue with the auction !"
The crowd suddenly went into a frenzy !
"Damn doesn't he know who Fan Long is ? He's going to get into trouble..."
"I feel bad for him, his auction was going so well..."
At the same time the arrogant young man walked in front of Elliot tried to slap him, his eyes were red of rage because he had never been humiliated like this, to make it worse it had happened in front of such a big crowd !
Elliot stayed unfazed and caught the guy's hand.
"Leave while I allow you to do so, you're the one coming to mess with me so don't start complaining when I've beaten you up into a pulp."
"That guy caught Fan Long's hand so easily ? I heard Fan Kong's already level 7 !"
The crowd was surprised, commented the scene and Elliot used this opportunity to gather information.
'Level 7 ? Is this guy not famous for being strong ? Or maybe the best guys hunting out there are still at such a low level ?'
Of course Elliot wouldn't miss such an opportunity to compare himself to others, he wanted to know how much of an advantage he had and this guy seemed to be quite famous for being strong but was only level 7.
"Release my hand, you'll regret it bitterly if you don't."
As Elliot was too lazy to create enemies he released the guy's hand and told him to leave, he had better things to do right now than fighting for stupid reasons.
"Leave now, I don't want you to take part in this auction."
"Humph! I'll do that, be careful of not meeting me in the breach because if you did I don't guarantee your survival !"
Fan Long snorted and left, he looked at the right wrist which he had used to slap Elliot and felt a chill down his spine, there were very few people who had entered the breach at the same time as him who could give him a wound and this guy just now did and on top of that he didn't seem to put any effort in his grip.
As Fan Long left he did his best to hide his bloody red wrist that had been squeezed into a bloody pulp, he had felt his bones breaking and that was the reason he decided to retreat, he was someone who used his body to hunt and so he did his best to avoid being injured.
Today he had chosen the wrong opponent.
