"Looks like she has already noticed that you are here."
Princess Aphrodite said.
"Is that because she is too powerful?"
Alex asked her.
"No, that's because she is too experienced in sensing people easily, on the other hand, you have the blood of Arcadia from your maternal side so, it is much easier to detect."
Princess Aphrodite said.
It's already 7 pm the sun already gone down. A man and a woman stood up on the stage.
"As you guys know, this is the monthly auction we have many surprises for you."
The woman said.
"Before that, we reveal what those contacts are we like to announce our sponsor who helps us to arrange this auction."
The man said.
"It's our all-known company, Sen Group of Ltd., if you are an adult here, there are the right things for you, those are Sen Beer, Sen Wine, and Sen Sake, the supply is always limited so, you can book here today, if you want to have those wine, beer, and sake to pour your belly. Remember alcohol is forbidden for underage."
The woman said with a commercial tone.
"What is a sponsor?"
Alex asked.
"You give money to someone to organize something, in exchange, they will advertise your product. It's called sponsorship."
Athena replied. Alex understood the reason why Sen Group sponsor this show.
"You also need to sponsor one day to make our restaurant prosper."
Athena said.
"Now, speak of the restaurant I have almost forgotten one thing, though I wanted to show this to Ashok Sen first however because you guys are my close acquaintance I will show you this first."
Alex said.
He took out three Cola Can looking in front of them.
"What's that?"
Robin was curious as soon as Alex take those out from storage.
"This is carbonated water which is sweet. It will be also a revolutionary product for Babylon where even kids can drink this. The name of this liquid is Babylon Cola."
Alex said. He opens the lid of the Babylon Cola Can and started to drink. Princess and Prince took one each by following him and started to drink too.
The different textures of carbonate water which is not alcohol make their face hot.
"Th-this thing is awesome, I can drink them as much as I can. And you are right, even a kid can drink this."
Prince Robin said.
"Not only that, it is cheap for middle-class people too. Only 25 silver per Can. By the way, there are three variants of this product. We will launch it in the new restaurant in front of the Sen Academy, if you guys ever visit there, must drink Babylon Cola."
Alex discovers 10 vendors of the can in his Asgard. There is a punching bag beside those vendors. If he punches there a Babylon Cola comes out, there are a few different Cola there. We will discuss that later.
"Of course, I will visit that."
Prince Robin said with a smile.
"I will too."
Princess also said that she will visit Sen Academy.
"Now, then our first item is a sword that came from Indiana."
The host girl said. Alex looked at the sword. It was a gorgeous-looking scabbard. The most alluring part of the scabbard is, that it was so shiny that the light was reflecting on it, which made it look like it was made from expensive stones. This the auctioneer man said,
"This may be not the sharpest blade, but enough to use as a showpiece and an antic. The floor price for this sword is only 10 Gold."
Even though it was only 10 gold the price will get higher than this, so the auctioneer has a confident smile on his face.
"Wanna auction on it, big sis will buy that for you?"
Princess Aphrodite said to Alex with a smile.
"No, I don't need this kind of shiny antic. I can buy something similar to this later. And don't worry, though I have a tiny amount of money, I think I can buy something like this easily."
Alex said.
"You cheeky brat."
Princess Aphrodite said that with a smile.
"15 Gold."
"Mr. X said 15 gold, any interest."
"20 Gold."
"Oh, there Mr. Y raise the bar, is Mr. X interested in more."
"35 Gold."
"40 Gold."
Alex looked at the auction curiously, for the first time he saw that people are fighting for a product by raising money.
"Oh, 200 Gold from Mr. X, is anyone here who will buy that?"
Mr. Y didn't talk anymore, and Mr. X gave satisfactory smile.
"200 Gold one, 200 Gold two, 200 Gold three. And the tag number 1 sword goes to Mr. X."
The victorious smile on the face of Mr. X made Alex in awe, people spend money to get the taste of victory, huh?
