"40 million for the third time!"
"Sold!"
"Let's congratulate the buyer!"
Isabella slammed the gavel down, confirming Darklord as the buyer of the Ancient Parchment.
A whopping 40 million dollars.
Such a price, enough to buy a small company.
Darklord had finally regained some rationality at this moment.
His teeth were trembling.
He didn't know why he would shout out a price of 40 million...
He had only prepared 20 million!
How would he pay the remaining 20 million?
If he gave up the purchase, he would be giving up the deposit, which was also a large sum, and Darklord would be marked as a "dishonest person" in the game.
With such a label, he couldn't keep footing in "Godslayer" anymore, no one would trade with him.
Darklord's rookies also knew that their boss had overbid, but no one dared to speak up due to Darklord's unpredictable mood.
Darklord hesitated for a moment, then said to his rookies:
"Worst comes to worst, I'll just sell some of my dad's company shares!"
"After all, those shares are useless, and I don't care about them!"
Hearing this, all of Darklord's rookies were shocked.
"Young master, you really shouldn't do this!"
"The shares your father gave you are very important! You still have to take over the company in the future! These shares are the foundation for you to take over the company!"
Darklord snorted coldly, his eyes bloodshot.
"Taking over the company? Nonsense, that old man has always said I am not capable of taking over anything. He has mentioned something about hiring a professional manager!"
"What's the point of holding shares of a company that's not mine? It's better to sell them out!"
The more he talked about it, the more furious Darklord felt.
His father's words belittling him over the years kept repeating in his head.
He increasingly felt that selling shares to exchange for this Ancient Parchment was the right decision.
"Once I get this legendary item, I can dominate 'Godslayer'!"
"By then, why should I care about that old man's crappy company?"
With this in mind, Darklord made up his mind.
He quickly contacted his assistant to sell his shares as soon as possible.
Darklord's assistant was stunned when he first heard the order.
He never thought that Darklord would actually sell the company shares his father had given him.
You should know that, Darklord's father's company performance is very good! Both the current income and future prospects are immeasurable!
He wanted to persuade Darklord to think twice.
But was directly scolded by Darklord.
"What a crappy company, do you think I really care? I've had enough of acting on that old man's cues!"
"Go and sell shares worth of 20 million dollars for me now! I need it today!"
When the assistant saw Darklord's message, his face was very ugly.
He said with difficulty:
"Young Master, that's not a small amount... If you really want to sell in a hurry, you're definitely going to lose out. According to the market, you originally only needed to sell 7% of the shares to get 20 million, but now you have to sell 10% of the shares to get 20 million dollars in a rush sale today!"
Darklord didn't consider any of these, he replied directly:
"I don't care, I have 35% of the shares anyway."
"Can't do anything with these shares, might as well change them into some cash to spend."
The assistant sighed, he knew he couldn't stop Darklord anymore.
After all, he worked for Darklord, and naturally had to follow whatever the boss said.
...
The auction was over.
The people in the field gradually dispersed.
Darklord followed the auctioneer backstage, paid half the amount, and got his long-desired legendary item - the Ancient Parchment.
He knew he was the target of public criticism now, and didn't dare to walk out of Silverglow swaggeringly.
So, he made a request to the auction house:
"You need to find some people to escort me out of Silverglow."
"If I just bought something from you, and got robbed as soon as I left Silverglow, it wouldn't be good for your auction house, would it?"
Isabella, who was in charge of this matter, didn't like Darklord, but her excellent professionalism didn't allow her to refuse.
"Okay, our auction house will contact the Silver Knight Order. Them will send their best knights to escort you out of the city."
"But this protection can only last until 30 kilometers outside of Silverglow, any further and it's not our responsibility."
Darklord nodded with satisfaction:
"That's enough."
"Next, I'm going to a place no one knows about, to study this treasure!"
Then, Isabella reminded: "According to the rules of the auction house, you have paid half the amount, which is 20 million dollars, we will deliver the item to you, when are you planning to pay the remaining 20 million? Only after full payment will we agree to let you leave Silverglow."
Darklord swaggered over to the sofa in the reception room, sat down, crossed his legs, and said to Isabella:
"Don't worry."
"I have asked my assistant to prepare the money."
"I will definitely settle the balance today."
Isabella nodded and said:
"You have 24 hours."
"When the time is up, if you still can't pay the balance, we will take back your item according to the agreement, and trade it with the second highest bidder."
After speaking, Isabella ignored him and left the room.
At the entrance of the reception room, two high-level NPCs were guarding.
Without the permission of the auction house, no player could take Darklord out from them.
...
On the other hand.
Darklord's assistant knew he couldn't just blatantly list Darklord's shares on the trading platform.
If he did, Darklord's father would definitely find out.
So, he had to use his own connections to see if there were any tycoon willing to buy.
Soon, someone contacted him.
"I have a boss here who is very interested in these shares, I am his authorized agent, when can we sign the contract?"
Darklord's assistant was naturally overjoyed when someone appeared so quickly.
As long as he could complete the task given by Darklord, other things were be none of his business.
"As long as you can pay in cash, we can trade and sign the contract now!"
"Good, then I'll send you the electronic contract, please confirm it..."
...
Inside the temple.
John, seeing the "transaction successful" message from his agent, had a slight smile on his face.
Just now, he had heard from a former friend that Darklord was selling his father's company shares cheaply.
After a brief thought, John realized it was because Darklord had insufficient funds after the auction, which led to him selling his shares.
So.
John, who already had some savings, did not hesitate at all, immediately contacted his friend to act as his agent and sign a contract with Darklord's assistant.
With this, he spent only 20 million dollars and own 10% of Darklord's family company.
The key point was, Darklord didn't know about this at all.
He would only know that some "boss" took advantage and bought the shares he sold... If Darklord knew that the one buying the shares was John, he probably wouldn't sell even if it meant his death.
The entire transaction process went very smoothly and was completed in about two hours.
Darklord also received that 20 million dollars.
He handed over this money to the auction house as soon as he got it.
After the payment and delivery was settled, the auction house contacted the Silver Church.
They arranged a team of Silver Knights to escort Darklord and his rookies out of the city.
At this time, in a private room of a tavern in Silverglow.
Blue Sea and Adam sat at the table, each with a glass in hand.
Adam first finished his beer, took a satisfying breath, and said: "This game is perfectly made, I can even feel the malt aroma in the beer very clearly."
"At this rate, there's no need for the real-world gourmet food and wine to exist."
Blue Sea did not drain his glass like him, but took a small sip and asked: "Why did you call me here?"
Adam smiled slightly and said, "I want to make a deal with Brother Blue Sea."
Blue Sea, being smart, immediately retorted: "You want the Silver Tear?"
Adam nodded: "Speaking with a wise man is easy... I only need one drop, you name your price."
Blue Sea shook his head.
Adam was puzzled: "What, Brother Blue Sea doesn't want to sell? You haven't even heard my price yet."
Blue Sea said: "It's not that I don't want to sell..."
"But rather than have you pay, I have a better proposal."
"As long as you are willing to help me... I would give you a drop of Silver Tear for free."
