Chapter 32 - Chapter 32: Auction (2)

The moment, the person made this announcement. Myles shone like stars in the sky, he focused all of his attention towards the man. The others were also in a similar situation as him.

As Myles stared at him, he saw him grin slightly.

"Why is he smiling?" Myles thought to himself.

Even if Myles had the chance to think of anything. An enthusiastic voice resounded through his ears.

"Ahaha I can see the shine in your eyes. I know that you are eager to see what we have to auction!! But you must wait for me to explain the rules of the auction to you!" The person said in a passionate voice.

Upon hearing this, Myles felt like he was being overdramatic. He shook his head and turned his full attention to the man.

"We have 4 very simple rules that you must follow.

First being, you are not allowed to ask for anyone's identity who has wished to remain anonymous.

Second rule, you are not allowed to leave until the auction is over even if you have your purchases.

Third rule, when bidding you must use an input device to place your bid.

Fourth rule, don't place a bid that you can't afford.

Fifth rule, don't break an item that you didn't pay for.

Breaking these rules will have serious consequences. Breaking the last two rules will result in you working for us for an unknown period of time." The man declared his voice carrying seriousness

"Also for those who have visited us for the first time. Let me explain how to properly take part in the bidding.

It's fairly simple when I will tell you to place your bids. Raise your hand while holding onto the stick with guest number. If someone places a higher then simply place a bid higher than that" The announcer explained.

Upon hearing this Myles nodded his head in satisfaction.

"It's very simple to place a bid" Myles thought to himself.

As he was staring at the bidding panel, a voice resounded through his ears causing him to turn his attention towards the stage.

"Now that I have explained all the rules, let this auction commence!! Bring the first item to be auctioned!!" The announcer enthusiastically exclaimed.

A person bought an item to be sold. It was sold a few minutes later. Like this a few items were sold but they didn't reach crazy high prices.

"Bring forth the next item!! I am sure everyone that you will like this a lot!!"

The moment he announced this. A person with a trolley started towards the center of the stage. All the stage lights of the place fell on the glass cube, hence revealing what was inside it.

There was a glass cube at the top of the trolley. Inside the cube rested a long white colored rifle which looke similar to a AK.

This item was looking too familiar to Myles.

"I felt like that I have seen this gun" Myles thought to himself as he tried to remember where did he saw this.

A few minutes, he finally realized where did he saw this.

"Didn't Vincent and others used these guns when protecting the cargo?" Myles thought to himself as he stared at the gunners.

The more he looked at it, the more sure that he became of his guess.

"I am sure that this is the gun. It means that he have escorted the goods to be auctioned here." Myles thought to himself.

It meant that his previous employer maintained a presence at the auction house!! Though, it had nothing to do with him. Hence he shook his head.

"This has nothing to me, I should focus on the auction" Myles thought to himself as he turned his attention back to the auction.

Inside the cube, some bullets also rested. Which were probably the ammunition of the resolver.

Myles saw the announcer walk towards the trolley at the center slowly. As he walked towards it, he gave a brief description of the resolver.

"This is a brand new white plasma gun, it's a very wanted item in the outer edges of the kingdom since it's damage output, firing speed and magazine size exceeds all the rifles available in the outer edgess of the kingdom by a big margin!!" The announcer exclaimed his voice carrying seriousness.

Upon hearing this, a interested look formed on a lot of people's face. But sadly, Myles wasn't one of them.

"It's useless to me" Myles thought to himself.

The announcer return to table. As he he returned to his table, the announcer said something which caused the demand of the white plasma gun to reach unimaginable heights.

"Furthermore, this gun is only available at the inner part of the kingdom!!" The announcer exclaimed.

The audience grew even more excited upon hearing this. It looked, that they were iching to place their bids!!

Not wanting to their eagerness to place their bids decrease even a bit, the announcer quickly took action.

"Due it's rareity and it's great performance, the starting bid is placed at 1500 universal coin's. Place your bid now and make this weapon yours!!!" The announcer enthusiastically exclaimed.

The moment he said so, a war broke out between the guest of the auction.

"2000 universal coins!!" One of the quest said.

"2000 universal coins going once

2000 universal coin going…." The announcer got interrupted

"2300 universal coins!!" Another one shouted.

"23000 universal coins going…." The announcer got interrupted.

"3000 universal coins!!" Another one shouted.

"3000 universal going once

3000 universal coins going….." The announcer got interrupted.

"Let's see if you loser can compete with me, 8000 universal coins!!" Another person exclaimed.

"A 5000 universal coins leap from the previous bid. Let's see if there any brave ones willing to compete any further!" The announcer exclaimed.

"8000 universal coins going once

8000 universal coins going twice. Is there anyone willing to offer a higher bid!!" The announcer remarked, his gaze swepping through the crowd.

None appeared courageous to place a higher bid. He shook his head upon realizing making an expression that almost looked like he was pitying them.

"And sold!!!" The announcer declared as he clapped.

"The owner of this fascinating gun is Guest number 126!! You may claim and pay for your item after the auction is over" The announcer remarked his voice carrying seriousness.

The person who had won the bidding nodded and sat down without a care in the world.

"The next item to be auctioned will take a minute or two to arrive so please wait patiently" The announcer remarked.

Myles did as told and waited painterly for the next item to be auctioned. A few minutes later, Myles saw the next item to be auctioned walking towards the center of the platform.

Upon seeing this, he became so excited that remaining seated at his seat became difficult but he somehow managed it.

"It's about time," Myles mumbled.f
