Chapter 7 - Auction

After Kayasth entered the auction house he was directly led to VIP area by the auction owner. After Kayasth entered the room, the owner left him and walked away, he held his breadth for too long as it was too pressing to be in presence of these families. The VIP rooms were specially made with soundproof surrounding with a glass which separated it from normal rooms and the people outside can't see the person inside but not for the person inside.

In the room after Kayasth sat down he saw a catalog after opening it he saw the list of items which are to be auctioned today. In the catalog he saw different herbs, weapons and pills for healing and cultivation and many miscellaneous items.

Different ranks of blacksmith can make different ranks of weapons, beginner-common, master-rare, expert-epic, grandmaster-legendary, unique masters make unique grade weapons which are specifically made for the user, related to the user's ability.

But the alchemists have different concepts of their respective ranks' beginner-normal, master-low grade, expert-medium grade, grandmaster-high grade, unique masters make divine grade pills.

Currently in the auction there are weapons limit upto epic grade as any above grade weapons are available in high rated auctions which are held only once a year in each continent. In this auction there are only high-grade items only, these auctions are done in large scale and is done by collaboration of many auction houses, even the pills sold in auctions are till medium-grade.

There were also a bunch of foundation herbs and also some foundation pills, healing pills, energy pills, there were many things, but nothing moved him.

After the people settled the lights turned off, the stage came into spotlight once the curtain was raised people on the seats saw a beauty coming to stage with a mic on her hand. She said," Hello ladies and gentlemen and Welcome to The White city auction today I Shreya will be your host."

Some girls came to the stage holding tray with a piece of cloth covering the tray, Shreya said," So for today's first item is" she moved closer to the tray and revealed the thing underneath the cloth, "low grade healing pills, these pills will be sold in sets, there are three sets, and each set contains 30 healing pills. The bid will be starting from 100 gold coins and the increment will be of at least 10 gold coins, So the bid starts now" Just as she finished speaking someone from the crowd shouted "110 gold coins"

"125 gold coins"

"135 gold coins"

..

..

Then the bid battle started, Kayasth was immersed in his thoughts when Angela pulled him out by saying "Master do you want to bid for the pills" she was standing beside him. Kayasth replied with a monotone voice "No".

He then started watching the people down the hall and suddenly his gaze stopped on a teenager who was sitting in in the middle row, he was immersed in him and ignored the people around him who were bidding and shouting loudly. He suddenly turned his gaze towards Kayasth but was unable to see because of the glass, Peter suddenly turned towards VIP box and muttered," I felt like someone was watching me, I guess it was just an illusion." He then turned his gaze toward the stage.

In the VIP box, Kayasth was reading the catalog to find something useful. After some time, he saw an item which piqued his interest. While the auction was going on Kayasth was again going through the future memories to search for something useful in the auction and then he found a way which will help him, and it was energy pills.

In the auction, there was an exception today as the White city auction city is auctioning a high-grade pill and Peter wanted it but how can he win in front of the rich-arrogant-young master who bullies the weak and fears the strong, moderately handsome and have many more qualities, as young master Alex was present here how can a poor guy like Peter get that pill.

Before the pill was even auctioned Alex had brought many things like weapons and pills, but he still has enough money to win the bid. When the tray with the high-grade pill came to the stage everyone's eyes were glued to it except Kayasth he was thinking about how to trick Alex.

As Peter was the protagonist, Alex was the villain here he does everything to embarrass Peter every time but gets himself faceslapped every time. He even tries to kill him, but Peter always gets away and comes stronger than before. He only got one-year memories till one year no has died among them but Kayasth himself died, "now all I Have to do is to win everything Alex wants " Kayasth thought.

On the stage Shreya said, "This is High-grade pill energy pill made by a grandmaster it can help some people overcoming their bottlenecks to reach higher realm. The bid starts from 500 gold coins and there will be increment of 50 gold coins with every bid. Now then let the bid begin...."

Just as she finished speaking a person from the crowd shouted loudly "600 gold coins....."

"700 gold coins...."

"850 gold coins...."

As time passed the bid was also getting hotter some people who were silent before were now bidding loudly.

After some time even Alex and Peter also started bidding, as more time passed, they were the only two bidding for the pill

"5000 gold coins..."

"5100 gold coins..."

Peter glanced at Michael and said to him," Mike please lend me some money I will return the money later to you for sure." Michael nodded, then Peter shouted, "6000 gold coins" inside the VIP box Alex became angry he shouted and glanced at Peter angrily and said," Who are you, how dare you bid with me. 6500 gold coins..."

When Kayasth heard him, he slowly said, "Truly arrogant as fu*k".

Peter became quiet he didn't have much money with him, he was not as rich as others he had an ordinary background. As Peter was in dilemma a monotonous voice entered his ears "8000 gold coins..."

When the people heard the voice, they were shocked to see another rich person in the auction who can rival the top families. When Alex heard the voice he thought he heard wrong "Is there any powerful person in this auction."

For some time, no one said anything Shreya snapped them out by saying "The guest in the VIP box made a bid of 8000, is anyone there with any going with high price." No one said anything "8000 going once "

"Going twice "

"Going thrice "

"And sold"

"Congratulation to our VIP guest "

Angela said happily, "Congratulation Young Master"

Kayasth said, "It's nothing"

Alex gritted his teeth and left the auction house in anger. After Kayasth paid for the pill, he said to the owner "Gift this pill to the boy bidding against Alex in the auction". When the owner heard it he was shocked that this young master can even gift such a valuable pill to a nobody, but nevertheless he still agreed.
