Chapter 453 - \
The Sloan Family is holding a potion auction??
Before the journalists could even ask Ainsley anything, the baby already continued her speech.
"Here's the list of potions that we will auction and its effect.
" Ainsley presented the list on the huge screen for the journalists and media to see.
When those at the hall saw the lists, they almost dropped their camera and fell to the ground.
What?? What kind of potions are these? We have never heard of them! But...why are the effects so OP?!
No one in the room dared to believe that such potions exist. However, the Sloan Family had their reputation to withhold...so there's no way they would lie about the potions!
Once Ainsley dropped her statement, the journalists and the media worked hard to spread the news to others.
In just a day, the whole Roane region knew about the Sloan Family's potion auction. In a few days, the news spread to the capital and other large regions as well, attracting tons of attention.
"The Sloan Family is going to auction these potions? Who are they?
"
"Are the potions real or fake? If it's real, we have to tell our family head!
"
"Do they have the license? If they do, it's legit.
"
"Well, just wait for the Alchemist Guild to react…such potions are truly rare, and if it's real, tons of people will want to snatch it.
"
The public was divided into two sides.
Those who believed in the Sloan Family's credibility and those who doubted their press conference and still waiting for the alchemist guild to say something.
After all, everyone knew that not even the Billios Family could auction potions in their auction hall if the alchemist guild didn't give them permission.
Except for when they auctioned potions from the Elven continent, though. The alchemist guild had no power over potions made outside of the human continent.
The Godlif Alchemist Guild was only responsible for potion sales inside the country too.
Thus, Billios Family often could auction some potions outside of the country or when they got some leftover potions from the elves.
But the Sloan Family wasn't the Billios Family! They're just a newly rising star in the mafia society...how could they get the alchemist guilds permission to auction potions?
Many people doubted Ainsley's announcement, but many also believed her because of what she did lately.
Her feats were something that people couldn't believe at first, but she still did it.
So, what's strange about holding a potion auction? That's normal compared to her other actions.
Since the potion lists she took out were indeed wonderful, there's no problem to auction it.
Thus, there were some powerful families inside and outside the mafia society that secretly contacted Ainsley, wanting to book the potion in advance.
Or maybe, just to get a good seat at the auction later.
"Lady Sloan, I'm one of the '7 greatest' family heads, and I want to inquire about the potions…
"
"Lady Sloan, I'm from the government's secret force, XXI. Regarding the potions you're going to auction…
"
"Lady Sloan, I'm from the merchant guild…
"
"Lady Sloan, I'm from the Roane shaman guild branch…
"
"I'm from the Roane summoner guild branch…
"
Mostly, the people interested in Ainsley's statement and believed her were those who needed the potions that she's going to auction.
Whereas those who didn't believe it was people who didn't truly need the potions or were part of the 7 sacred families.
All in all, Ainsley's statement shook the mafia society once more. This time, her statement even reached those outside of the mafia society.
After all, her potions list was something too miraculous to be ignored!
When the people were on fire talking about the announcement, 3 days later, the Roane Alchemist Guild made a press conference, responding to the Sloan Family's press conference.
"We have never granted the auction license for those potions! If any of the forces around the Roane region dares to attend the auction, we will blacklist their entire family!
"
With the Roane Alchemist Guild opposing the Sloan Family blatantly, the number of people doubting the Sloan Family increased in just a few hours.
"See? The Roane Alchemist Guild disapproves of the auction. The potions are illegal!
"
"So what? The Sloan Family is a mafia family, after all. Why can't they sell illegal stuff?
"
"What's the Mafia Council's reaction to this matter? Will they do something?
"
"Nah, they won't. As long as the government doesn't get involved in this illegal potion auction...they won't interfere.
"
"Well, but will the big shots still attend the auction in a week? The Roane Alchemist guild gives such a heavy ultimatum....
"
"They can just attend secretly. Whether they get conned after or not, it's not the Roane Alchemist Guild's fault.
"
Despite the Roane Alchemist Guild strongly condemning the auction, many people still wanted to try their luck and planned to attend the auction.
Plus, the smart forces could see the crux of the problem and believed that the Sloan Family was going to auction real potions, not fakes.
Even if it's an illegal auction because of the Roane Alchemist Guild's ultimatum, many people were still interested in buying.
Thus, the matter didn't die down and even spread further. Many guilds talked about this, especially the shaman and other famous guilds.
"The Lil girl said she would auction such potions? We have to buy them. Those items must be real!
"
"Even if we offend Geraldine, we have to attend. Go, go, prepare!
"
Since the famous guilds were interested too, the Godlif Alchemist Guild finally couldn't ignore the issue anymore.
The vice head, the one in charge of the headquarters while Geraldine was gone, instantly held an emergency meeting.
"What will we do about the Sloan Family's potion auction?
"
