The second young Master merely nodded, hoping the Grand Elder information is wrong. After all, it will be easier for him to get the helm of the Craw Family by the time the old man kicked the bucket.
Unfortunately, a Genesis Foundation expert have a lifespan of around 230 to 250 years. So, it will take a long time before he could hope to have a chance to become the leader of the family.
As he lament the fact, the next item was brought up. A pair of men brought up a vial, likely containing pills
Ryker immediately recognized it. After all, it is something he had brought, or gave to the portly slave trader for auction would be more precise.
"I see you have recognized this item. This is a White Healing Pill, a Grade 2 pill. While it is just a Grade 2 Pill, it is effective in neutralizing poison from the vein, allowing one to safe themselves after getting poisoned.
It can also remove or weaken certain curse, so if you suffer from a curse or had been poisoned, getting this pill would be essential to save your life.
So, lets start with the bid with 200 gold coins,"
"1 000 gold coins!" a voice come from the front. Nearly all the higher-ups and members of the powerful family turned towards source. To their surprise, it is the Grand Elder of the Craw Family.
"Looks like we have a bid of 1 000 gold coins. Are there any other bids?" just when the auctioneer thought there are no other bids, a voice exclaimed.
"2 000 gold coins," a voice the Grand Elder of the Craw Family recognized, and could not help but hate. After all, how can one like their rival.
"Hahaha! I will take this pill, old man Craw," the Grand Elder's eyes twitched at the blatant provocation, but he could not do anything about it.
After all, this is one of the most important structure in Alten City Underworld, and there are many people inside. If he tried to cause a commotion, he would be crippled or killed by the top experts of the city.
"It's not worth it," the Grand Elder said, though his eyes look at the pill in longing. He had been suffering from the poison for nearly 50 years. While he could reduce the effect with his cultivation, it still remain in his blood, and would no doubt claimed his life soon.
The White Light Pill is the best bet for him to remove the poison from his vein, which would allow him to ascend to the next major realm and cemented himself as one of the top experts of the city.
As he lamented his bad luck, the second young master keep a neutral face, though inside, he is laughing.
'My luck is good,' he though, looking forwards for rest of the auction.

For the next 9 items, they are pills of various kinds. From one that would help to increase one's ciltivation, to a healing pills, they all are Grade 2 Pills. What make them so special is the fact even the pill with the weakest efficiency reach the 8-star.
For most of the forces, they began to bid one another. After all, the pills could be vital in the future. While the Auction House turned into a screaming competition, with they bid slowly getting higher and higher, the one who delivered the Pill smiled broadly.
"Looks like I will get even richer," he lament over the fact none of the pills reach the 1 000 gold coins mark, but beggars cannot be chooser. After all, the combined amount would likely reach more than 9 000 gold coins, which is more than enough for his lovers.
After his pills had been sold, Ryker await for the next item, the one he had been looking forward when he learned of it being sold.
"And here it is. This is a Deep Lake Lotus. Found only in the deepest part of a freshwater lake, anyone who cultivate Law of Water related Cultivation Art would benefit greatly from it. Same for the Cultivation Technique related to the Law of Water.
For those who need such items, they would lament on not getting this, as it is one of more pure herbs with high concentration of Water energy. So, we can start with 300 gold coins,"
"5 000 gold coins," Ryker said, earning a shock gasp from everyone in the room.
"S-sir," the auctioneer stuttered, still in disbelief.
"5 000 gold coins," he repeated himself, earning a nod from the auctioneers.
"5 000 going once, going twice, sold for the man in blue suit!" everyone quickly turned towards him, trying to memorize his look. No doubt, planning to rob him after the auction is over.
The disguised man snorted. He is wearing a disguise, with his current look is one of a long black haired man, who tied it into a ponytail. Aside from that, his face had also changed. When he removed the necklace, he would look like his real self, which would throw of the would-be robbers.
Not to mention, there is still some failsafe he had prepared. Plus his current backers. Let just say when the robbers realized he is close to them, it would be too little too late.
As he thought about it, the auction continued.

"Do you get the look of the one who call 5 000 just now?" the first young master asked his entourage, one of them nodding frantically.
"Good, his wealth would have a much better use in our hands," the first young master said with a wicked smile. After all, he had check everyone before hand, and most of the people from the powerful families and strong backing take a seat at the front.
So, he is sure the person did not have any backing and would be easy picking. What he did not realize is the fact Ryker is staring daggers at him, already seeing his revenge coming into motion.

"Sir, we are ready," one of his subordinates told him. The portly man nodded, before he looked at the young man that had hooked him up with this mad plan of his.
"It has a high chance of not working, but it also the best plan in taking down the Craw without too many casualties," he exclaimed before looking at young woman in chain in front of him.
She had a calm look, showing how she expected such thing to happen to her.
