[21] Legendary `Buy One Get One Free` Offer~
Dof reneged his bid in a haste and it showed up in the middle of the stage in bold red color.
[Room 9999 has reneged the offer of 100 billion. For reneging, room 999 will have to pay a 1% penalty of the offered price.]
The smile on Old Swine's face froze, and he became angry. He threw a murderous look at room 9999. Nonetheless, he collected himself and announced.
"Room 9999 has reneged the bid. Thus, it will be up for auction in the end."
At his booming words, the retreating pillar whose destination was room 9999 with the holy crane's heart stopped. The pillar flew behind the last object of today's auction.
Alberto Del'virmanos smirked knowingly. Then his eyes fell on the huge object which moved in the center of the stage. A playful expression showed on his face as he rubbed his hands.
Levin felt Alberto was acting odd. His eyes followed Alberto's sight and saw the huge object in the middle of the stage. Knowing that they didn't need it, he turned around indifferently and went back to sit down.
[The next object, a bed crafted with the finest wood and a Peace Pearl on its headboard.
Whatever troubles anyone has, the person can fall asleep as soon as he or she stays on it for 30 seconds.
A great thing for the elder generation. Price starts from 20 million...]
At the introduction, many guests got interested, especially the ladies. Even in the technical world, people suffered from insomnia and could only seek the help of different technologies and medicines.
Not to say, who wouldn't have an elder in their family? To please him or her, spending a large sum was nothing for the nobles and royals!
As usual, the robotic hand flew down and grabbed the white cloth to show the object. As soon as it lifted the veil, many people were taken aback.
"Impossible!" Dof shouted in room 9999 and froze in his place. However, no matter how many times he rubbed his eyes, the figure sleeping peacefully on the bed didn't change or vanish.
Nes was also taken aback by his huge reaction and turned his sight below. He glared down and hurriedly said, "Is that…"
Some excited men walked ahead and zoomed on her figure. They examined her from left to right, from up to bottom.
Looking at the beauty who was sleeping innocently with no care, they had one thought at that moment, 'Is it the Auction Palace's legendary `buy one get one free` offer?'
The men were excited while the women frowned. The ladies thought the bed had been sullied by someone even before it had been sold! How irresponsible of the Auction Palace!
Old Swine felt his heart going into disarray. He clutched his chest and panicked. 'Isn't she a guest? How did she appear here?!'
Before he could take action, several lines flashed on top of the bed.
[Room 67, 50 million.
Room 33, 100 million.
Room 678, 500 million…]
Because people knew the starting price, they started bidding before Old Swine's affirmation.
One line after another began to flash and the feminine robot voice announced them loudly.
Old Swine was anxious as he remembered Levin D'razure's attitude towards this mysterious Miss Van. He walked towards the bed in hurried steps.
But an invisible barrier forced him to stop!
Old Swine's son frowned when he saw this. He clicked on the black earring on his ear and whispered.
"Father, did you forget the input you entered in the security system? Unless the product is sold or the auction finishes, nobody can go inside, not even you."
"This!" Old Swine remembered the instructions he entered in the system and wanted to slap himself. He finally got to taste the disadvantages of being overly cautious!
On the other hand, the bids were turning more and more outrageous. Theo Glacior also noticed the figure and wanted to notify Levin but Alberto Del'virmanos snapped his fingers and in the next second, Theo got immobilized.
Levin D'razure couldn't ignore it when the price shot up to 500 million and narrowed his grey eyes.
"For a mere bed, they are willing to pay 500 million?" He murmured with confusion and a mockery flashed in his eyes, "When did those people become so rich? What is the Interplanetary Tax Division doing?"
"Brother, why don't you come and see for yourself? You may want this bed?" Alberto turned to him and suggested. When Levin saw his playful smile, he realized something was wrong.
Rather than going, he closed his eyes and used his perception to check. The man's calm face stiffened when he saw the familiar figure.
Levin D'razure opened his eyes and left his seat. He slowly walked ahead. The man's eyes locked upon the figure who was amid a lucid dream in the middle of the stage.
Watching that many people were bidding for her, killing intent leaked out endlessly from Levin's body.
…
"Alex, I, I have something to say…" Kayra whispered bashfully. Her black eyes twinkled with shyness as she glanced at the young man in front of her.
'I can finally tell you my feelings. Oof~ So excited!' Kayra thought with a soft smile. While fiddling with her fingers, she peeked at her college building lest someone was heeding this way.
When she didn't get a reply, she looked up and frowned. She saw the face of the man was blurred. Even when Kayra rubbed her eyes, the man's face didn't get clear.
"Kayra, I also have something to confess…" At that moment, a familiar voice whispered beside her ears. Her whole body became stiff as she felt him approaching her face slowly.
The boy's slender fingers touched her chin and gently lifted her face. The soft skin under his touch became red instantly. Kayra blushed heavily as she clutched her dress tightly.
The blurry face inched towards her cherry lips, and she closed her eyes in unknown anticipation. But rather than a kiss she desired, a shout nearly made her deaf!
"Wake up!"
"Hah?!"
"Wake up!"
"Alex, you…" Kayra opened her eyes and glanced up in confusion.
The blurry face paused and then changed into an oval-shaped shiny object. Kayra felt her heart stop pumping blood at the sudden scare she got!
